Mafia 2020 #3: 14 Stories Above the Sea

God damnit, I do not like the way this day phase is shaking out

[Vehicle]

My guess is the activity died because the scum are afraid to keep trying to steamroll me when it looks like one of their own is about it bite it. When Beast flips scum, this will have been a very enlightening round.

vote beast

[the_paul]

I don't love voting for Beast after what happened day 1, but I guess I'm getting completely different vibes from everyone else on other players. I understand the logic on kthx, but my suspicion on him is based on how the game went before he was in. I don't know what I missed with vehicle where everybody jumped on him, I guess I need to go back several pages and start over when I have time. I'm suspicious of Edify, but not to a high level as much as Beast. Beast's buttering up to me is still the scummiest thing I've seen anybody do to this point in the game. I would love to have a reason to switch my vote though.

[Edify]

Not sure what to say here. I've thought Beast was scum all game. Yes, there very well could be scum within the 5 that voted on him so far. My eye is on kthx. Does that mean that Beast is clear if kthx is mafia? I don't know anymore. Going to leave my vote as is for now, will check later.

[the_paul]

Well activity certainly took a sudden dive

[WillBy]

Vote Tally:
Beast-5 (vehicle, edify, the_paul, kthx, halp)
vehicle-3 (beast, hookecho, voth)
edify-1 (kassius)

People making me rethink my unvoting rule-1 (ixt)

Phase change around 4pm CDT (6 hours, 45 minutes)

[Vehicle]

Oh I misread Beasts post. I thought it said "Watching ixt vote Vehicle" not "voth".

Still, obvious sham.

[Vehicle]

FYI: By my count, which could be totally wrong, I have 4 votes on me and Beast has 5. Don't take my word for it though.

[Vehicle]

Someone should really tell Beast he only needs to vote once. No need to repost to vote for me with no explanation when you already did exactly that two pages ago. Please, try harder to get this bandwagon going.

Vehicle's jump on that bandwagon was pretty legendary, as was his attempt to walk back a clear bandwagon vote. My vote remains for the moment.

I made it abundantly clear that I was voting for Beast out of self preservation, didn't try to hide that fact at all. This post, your last one about "catching me reacting to your tirade" when I literally had no clue what post you were talking about and the fact that you didn't post-back attacking me when I mildly insulted you in response has me incredibly suspicious of you at this point.

And then hookecho comes along and is like "lol guys sorry I got promoted to ER trying to learn how to type *arena" to explain is afkness and then says I've been attacking new players like himself, which is kind of true but only because the guy has been missing from the thread, and kassius, which is patently false. I've been boosting kassius all game telling him I think he's doing a good job.

I mean, the three of you didn't have to make it so obvious you were scum.

Anyone with two brain cells to rub together can tell this is a sham.

[the_paul]

As much as Beast is useless, incoherent, brain damaged twat who makes the special kids among us seem like class valedictorians, I can't help but think that he is the epitome of the low hanging fruit that the scum team is latching onto voting to further whittle town down. Though honestly, if I were on the scum team this game, I'd be doing everything possible to keep Beast around, because he is a great distraction from actual scum hunting and his erratic voting can help lynch townies.

Paul voting Beast interests me. Vehicle's jump on that bandwagon was pretty legendary, as was his attempt to walk back a clear bandwagon vote. My vote remains for the moment.

I mainly wanted to get a vote out before bed, both to have one out there and to see what led from it. Between claiming a huge town x shot town power role, to then saying he's VT, to the gibberish he's been posting especially recently, that was enough to raise my eyebrows. The kicker for me is how hard he is trying to push the logic that somehow he and I are the 2 confirmed townies in this game, when neither of us are, and we are really not affiliated at all. More often than not, people who try to hard to attach themselves at the hip to somebody are scum trying to marry themselves to someone who is town in order to blend in more. Not all of the time, but IMO its the case more often than not.

That being said, I'm not set in stone on voting Beast. But before I went to bed I wanted my vote on the person I found most suspicious. It was Beast then, and nothing has changed yet.

[Hookecho]

Sorry all -- Some things blew up at work yesterday and I didn't get back to this...

Someone else mentioned I was promoted to ER -- also some unexpected things I've been trying to learn.

Hookecho U better speak up again soon silence only brings unwanted attention.

the only reason I’m hesitant on voting beast is he was the first wagon of this game...but his behavior isn’t quite meriting the pardon that typically would come in that situation.

lol idc I dont have a cool role so its boring.

Honestly I think both Beast and Vehicle are suspect at this point. Beast is probably a boring goon (or maybe hes lieing), mostly talking with the mafia. Vehicle throws shade in a few directions -- enough to get a bandwagon going, or at least a seed of doubt. Also picking on new players as hes done with both Kassius and I. Kinda wondering if he is voting for Beast now like he voted for Backwards in the beginning.

Vote Vehicle for now.

sign up on new game thread kass!

[Kassius]

Got nothing much to add. Most of the past 4 pages have been talking about previous games' outcomes and people's reputations, of which I know nothing about so just can smile and nod.

I voted Halp > Beast > Jessup on Day 1

Halp - I'm less suspicious than I was before, at least he's posting sometimes now.
Beast - I don't know what to think, I'm not seeing any deductive posts so regardless of his affiliation, at best he's muddying the waters and at worst he's diluting the vote away from more suspicious Mafia members. I actually think he's town to be honest, the guy is just nuts.
Edify - No idea why the whole town team has decided that going from Edify nailed-on lynch, to a last minute switch to PF was a good idea.

Now, a smart thing to do would be to look at who decided that this new player PF be lynched immediately compared to Edify, when I've been previously told in good faith that scum won't want to nightkill me as it's not 'in their interests' to do that to a new player, when more experienced players are far more dangerous...
