Mafia 2020 #3: 14 Stories Above the Sea

[PartyFalcon]

Based on my prior posts and lack of ensuing responsive substantive defense, as well as feeling somewhat compelled by other posts in the interim, vote voth

[Beast]

There is no jester role in this version of Willby's mafia i'm just a good old fasioned townie with no abilities. I'm willbys friend Ken., the longer I stay in the game, the more the scum, and third party will drop like flys.

Here's my VC based on post#s since the change to D2

Edify 3 (kthx,Voth,ixt)
Beast 2 (Vehicle,Hook)
PartyFalcon 1 (Exalt)
Halp 1 (Kassius)
Vehicle 1 (Beast)
Voth 1 (Edify)

FWIW, and I obviously could be wrong. I don't think Vehicle is mafia but hey, opinions of a dying man eh?

[Edify]

I've given it some thought and I think I will Vote Voth.

My reasons are thus:
- Two people have tried to cozy up and declare I'm a good ol' townie early on: Beast and Voth. I've already addressed what I think of Beast. In my mind this is just scummy suck-up behavior. I'm sure Voth will have a great response for that. A townie benefits nothing from getting the good will of other townies. A mafia/scum benefits greatly from goodwill of other townies. I believe Voth is mafia.
- Voth thinks he's thrown out a great fishing net and caught me in it. I really did suspect the_paul on that final vote flip flop from Beast to sdrawcab, and I did already think that before Voth suggested it. Voth is using this fishing net as the basis for accusing me of being mafia. Uhh what? Thin.
- Voth makes posts disparaging 'oh how stupid to sacrifice a mafia RB'. This is a show put on by mafia Voth to make it look like it's the dumbest idea. In reality, it's a clutch play by a skilled mafia who can gain street credibility on D1 and then lead town by the nose until mafia gets the W.

Also

Yes, there is a private scum chat.

And yeah, it's night phase, not much to do but wait for me to inevitably get killed.

Said with ease because Voth is on said chat. + Melodrama about inevitably being killed wah wah.

Right. A sac bunt on a Mafia Roleblocker on Day 1 to secure a spot as a not confirmed townie. That happens frequently.

It's definitely a distinct possibility, and you said so yourself no good mafia player plays the same way every game. I imagine if you had a winning mafia squad you could easily pull this off with enough coordination.

That's all I got bois.

Vote Tally:
edify-3 (ixt,voth, kthx)
beast-2 (vehicle, hookecho, edify)
vehicle, halp, PF-1

Missing votes: Edify, party falcon, the_paul, Halp

Still planning on changing tomorrow afternoon at some point. Let’s say 2pm CDT.

[ixt]

ok then. vote edify you should run for president!

[Edify]

I will say this. This current behavior is contradictory to how your first few posts of the game were. You were first-poster and all set to be the most active participant, even criticizing others for not checking in during the first few hours of the game. I put a vote on you then.

Now you're "meh" and don't even have time to play? What's wrong, did us lynching your mafia roleblocker make you give up?

Your role claim sounds manufactured and abrupt. Probably scum as I suspected back on D1.

ixt I have said so previously. Here you go bud.

[PartyFalcon]

Why do you think I'm scum when I claimed cop, yet there doesnt seem to be a counter claim?

Why would scum me NK Jessup of all people?

1. That sure sounds like you’re trying to smoke out a cop claim on day 2. I repeat my prior advice: please nobody make claims unless you have actionable results to report.

2. Jessup was going HAM against you, Exalt. See, e.g. #’s 139, 142, 146.

Also, the_paul I do not believe I accused you—you could be scum but I think it’s just as likely you were just there when it all happened and hopped on the successful train (IIRC you reportedly weren’t sure what the count was). It’s the one minute delay between exalt’s and voth’s votes to start the train on sdrawkcab that I find the most suspicious / questionable, since town can’t PM.

I'm growing more certain that Beast is jester. It fits with the wildly flying posts. Jester wins or shares a victory if lynched- then usually the game proceeds on until one of the main teams (mafia or town) wins and shares the victory with them. To me it doesn't matter if Beast wins by lynch, or loses some other way. Just as long as town's best interests are kept in play. Beast if you are a jester and you can be swayed please help the town.

I know Exalt has mentioned he'd easily vote on me which would bring my count to 3. Mafia just has to sit back and let town kill me and that's one less townie for the ship. I am trying to think through whether Vehicle warrants my vote or not. Honestly he hasn't stuck out very much. I'm going to re-read his posts. Beast is obviously just voting Vehicle because Vehicle voted on him (more Jester behavior). And there's also ixt voting on Vehicle..

Ixt is a loose cannon. Do I believe his claim or not? He's structured his claim in a manner that allows no one to question it. Which is of course how you want it to be.

the way you've structured this speaks u doubt my claim. then why not just say it outright? say u dont believe my claim and that im mafia in your perspective. no need for wishy-washy

PartyFalcon 1 (Exalt)
Halp 1 (Kassius)
Edify 2 (kthx,Voth)
Beast 2 (Vehicle,Hook)
Vehicle 2 (Beast, ixt)

[ixt]

vehicle and paulie d are expressing the same indirect desire to find a way to push me

vote vehicle

[ixt]

beast, your only reasons for accusation on voth are of two ways:

1. voth intended to vote backwards to cause some "conflict of interest" that seemingly separates the two but forgot to retract vote
2. voth is a dirty bitch who sells his own teammates to make himself look more town

your valid argument is only #1 as voth is not nearly as dumb to do #2, especially on DAY 1. you have to take the order of voting into account as well, voth SECOND after exalt. And mind you, I did not fully reach to the conclusion of "accusing" yet, just organizing thoughts in various scenarios.

[Beast]

low key think voth is scum this go around lol, possibly god father. which means there's probably only one to two baddies left!

[Beast]

ohh did u take my vote off? brain hurts,

UNVOTE EDIFY

VOTE VEHICLE

edd..you better not let me down!
