The Mafia Choose Weird Places to Invade - #1

 

The IRONTown Baths was quite a popular attraction for families and the rest of the inhabitants of the town to relax in the pool or to get some exercise in. Right now, however, it was fairly quiet. The pool had some die-hard swimmers and stubborn children left in, but there were plenty of staff around too.

That was the time Godfather Tony chose to invade. Shortly after the first shots were fired, sirens went off, and shutters fell, cutting off the pool from the outside world.

 

Now, the innocent people of IRONTown had to find out who the mafia were, and make sure they didn't live to invade somewhere else slightly strange......

Your thoughts guys?

I believe TED is the last mafia member.

Aside from all the things discussed before,

the latest visitors of a certain person increased

my confidence that I am right.

 

Vote: Tactical Evil Dan

 

And to TED: Why the little kid !!!

 

Who's the visitor?

Well who do you suspect?

 

Preston is my chief suspect. Of the people remaining, I know I'm not scum and you and Kaziocore have done something to clearly demonstrate your townieness.

 

Preston is definitely the better player, and my hat is off to him. He's gone most of the game without a serious challenge to his towniness, and without a power role to play.

@Preston - who do you suspect?

I find it very strange that they targetted ccabal... he's one of the few I was uncertain about, and by removing him AND proving him town I dont think scum did themselves any favors. I'd frankly expected CD to be the next one killed. Were they afraid ccabal might have discovered something last night? I'll be interested in hearing a better description of ccabal's role from mole when this is all over.

 

So there are four people left; time to do a little brief analysis.

 

Kazio - Claimed "First-aid Lifeguard". Revived KevinH for a day.

CD - Claimed "One-shot Security Guard". Detected movement on night 1. Led attack on Kasabian and EM based on movement; one mafia, one not.

TED - Claimed vanilla townie during analysis of EM's role.

Preston - Claimed "Cowardly Lifeguard" vote restriction.

 

We have two that have demonstrated their roles and two that have no means of doing so.

 

Of the two roles demonstrated, the question in my mind is whether either are roles scum would even possibly be given.

 

CD's "One-shot Security Guard" has been confirmed in so much as it DID detect movement on night 1. He led a strong attack on both EM and Kasabian. Kasabian was indeed scum, but it COULD have been an intentional sacrifice. The manner in which EM roleclaimed didn't do much to help his case, but there wasnt much choice there - and CD had a valid reason to believe EM was scum based on movement. KevinH did contact CD on the first night, and if CD was scum then that might've gotten KevinH killed sooner - less mod-confirming of his role. I think the final bit is that if CD was actually scum, then the town would have had NO investigative role at all - no cop, etc. So I think this means CD is safe.

 

Kazio's "first aid lifeguard" claim was never done in a lot of detail - but it DID work. This could fill the role of a doc, since the town doesnt really have others based on the skill list. I am inclined to believe this is not a scum ability because it gave town another vote for the day - and if CD /had/ been killed prior to using his role, Kazio could have revived him to hear investigation results.

 

This leaves TED and myself. Neither of us have a means to "prove" our towniness based on claimed roles; mine limits my vote and TED has claimed no role at all.

 

I am town - It's not like I can say otherwise - but beyond that I've been putting a lot of time into picking this game apart in general and doing analysis of... well, everything. Perhaps more importantly, on day 2 when I was cross-examining CD's roleclaim I got him to shift his initial focus away from EM and onto Kasabian first - when it would have been so much easier to CD's attack on EM continue if I had been scum and known EM was town. When CD gave us two targets, had the first proven town then his credibility would have been very much in question.

 

By this math, if I assume CD and Kazio are town and exclude myself, then the only one remaining is TED. I've FoS'd him in the past (I'll go look up past reasons later), so in theory this should not be a problem.

 

However, I hesitate a little because (1) TED seems a little too obvious of a target and (2) because scum's choice of killing ccabal last night makes no sense to me.

 

Regarding (1): TED claimed vanilla townie to try and put EM away, yes. But AKCPLUTO also claimed vanilla townie, effectively aligning the two of them as being the only two NOT claiming roles. Maybe AKCPLUTO just made a mistake... but having the last two scum be the two claiming vanilla seems a little too convenient.

 

Regarding (2): ccabal was one of the few unproven roles. That he HAD a role was confirmed, and that he should have shown up on night 1 was confirmed. Mole explicitly did NOT confirm if he was town or not. I was moderately vocal as being on the fence between him and TED being scum - and then he gets killed, reducing my list to one target. This makes me second-guess my analysis somewhat. CD would have been a better target. The only reason I can see their having targetted ccabal is if his curious child role could have given information to identify the final scum - but after three nights with no information I dont know if the fourth was any more likely.

 

So I'll take a step back again and re-examine. By the numbers assuming CD and kazio are town, we have four main roles, two semi-useful roles, and two useless roles: cop, roleblocker, vigilante, reviver are useful, friendly neighbor and curious child are semi-useful, insomniac and cowardly lifeguard are useless. Ccabal's and EM's roles actively interfere with our lone cop, and my vote limitation affects our lynching process. If CD and kazio are town, then this is indeed a game with no vanilla townies.

 

Scum was shown to have one goon and one roleblocker, and I presume the third that remains is the godfather equivalent - possibly with some sort of powerful ability to influence their night kills, like a role cop maybe (they DID get our roleblocker and vigilante first).

 

I see two possibilities, then.

1) TED is scum, kazio is town: we have no vanilla townies, and Kazio's ability is indeed our doc equivalent.

2) TED is town, Kazio is scum: TED is our lone vanilla townie to match scum's lone goon, and kazio's revival was a scum ability intended to fake prove towniness or revive someone who suspected another townie.

 

I am inclined to believe option 1 at present, but I'll wait and see what else happens before voting. We need a majority of 3 today, right?

 

Oh, and note: You're not doing yourself any favors with your show of despair there TED. And Kazio's immediate vote bears examination, though as I said - he's the only option left if CD and Kazio are town.

 

-Preston

 

P.S. Slightly offtopic: Kazio, do you check this from an iphone or something? Both you and someone else I'm too lazy to look up always seem to have your lines cut to a very short width.

@Preston - I pretty much agree with your post. But it's mafia janitor not roleblocker. As far as I'm aware...the janitor removes the identity of a lynched person or nightkilled. Not sure why that power wasn't used at all. It would raised more questions and doubt.

@Preston - yes it is 3 votes to lynch. And given your restrictions, you must be either the 1st or 2nd voter.

I'm referring to Mole's profile. He visited his profile at night.

I think that's coincident enough. And as far as I'm concerned,

I voted TED because I'm sure he's the mafia (I'm also convinced

both of you guys are townie). We need three votes anyway for

a lynch to happen so you guys have all the time to decide for yourselves.

What the heck are you talking about? Mole's profile at night? Sorry...I'm a bit confused.

There literally hasn't been anything I've been able to do all game to do myself any favors. Every single thing I've said has either been ignored or twisted somehow.

That date is important.

I was thinking maybe it was to message Mole on who to nk.

Actually even without this, I'm still inclined to vote TED.

This only confirmed by belief.

I don't think that would be a good indicator. I've logged on every day to see what was going on in the game. I usually indicate when people view the mafia thread but chose not to post.

Oh, for crying out loud...

 

This is exactly what I'm talking about, Preston.

You dont need to view someone's profile in order to send them a PM - when I was scum last game there was a shared PM conversation between the game mod (narsis) and all the scum for them to talk outside of the game thread, and they could just reply in there for their night actions. So yeah, I dont think this is a good indicator.

 

I do have one other question for you kaziocore - I dont remember if you ever specified it, but was your revival role a one-shot ability or could you do it again today to revive ccabal?

It's a one-shot ability just like most of the roles we have.

And you do have a point but my bet is still on TED unless

either one of you guys are great in pretending to be a townie

For me, it all boils down to TED or Preston being mafia. Cuz kaz and I proved our towniness with our abilities.

 

Given all the small weak roles...I doubt there is a plain vanilla townie role. So whenever Preston wants to cast that 2nd vote on TED...I'll place that 3rd vote.

At this point, no matter how much I analyze things the answer won't get any clearer. All I can say is that if either CD or Kazio are scum, then a) mole was being sadistic in assigning roles and you have played a very good game. I'm going to go with my gut on this one, and hope that we've picked a winner for town.

 

Vote: Tactical Evil Dan

 

Moment of truth; let's see what happens.

So did we (town) win?

Unofficial Vote Count

 

Tactical Evil Dan (3) - Kaziocore, Preston, CanucksDynasty

Only four people were left in the IRONTown Baths. Talk was slow, with everyone occasionally glancing back towards the changing rooms where the bodies accumulated over the past few days had been piled up. They knew there was still a traitor in their midst, but it was down to them to find out who it was.

 

Eyes drifted between the survivors, and gradually, they landed on Tactical Evil Dan. He was grabbed unceremonially and thrown into the pool, where he began to struggle with his clothes that weighed him down. One by one, Kaziocore, Preston, and CD jumped in after him to make sure he wouldn't be leaving the pool still drawing breath.

 

Once he had stopped drawing said breath, and the gathered pool-goers had dragged him back out, they noticed a pistol tucked in his trousers - and ID that identified him quite clearly as Godfather Tony.

With a sigh of relief, the townsfolk sat back.

 

"Game over."

 

Tactical Evil Dan, MAFIA GODFATHER, has been lynched.

 

CanucksDynasty, SECURITY GUARD, has survived!

Preston, COWARDLY LIFEGUARD, has survived!

Kaziocore, FIRST-AID LIFEGUARD, has survived!

 

Congratulations to the TOWN -

- Electric Mango (Insomniac)

- CanucksDynasty (Security Guard)

- Ccabal86 (Curious Child)

Role PMs and a few of my notes about the game coming up shortly.

Welcome to the game' date=' AKCPLUTO!

 

You are a ONE-USE MAFIA JANITOR. You along with your partners Tactical Evil Dan and Kasabian wandered into the IRONTown Swimming Pool with your guns and generally started causing chaos. You'd almost fought your way to the manager's office when the sirens sounded and you were trapped. Now you had to stop all these idiot townspeople trying to kill you. By killing them.

 

Simple enough, right? You even have a bit of knowledge of the pool, so you can stash a body in a long-lost cleaner's cupboard.

 

You are a ONE-USE MAFIA JANITOR.

You may talk with your partners Tactical Evil Dan (Godfather) and Kasabian (Goon) during NIGHT PHASES ONLY in this quicktopic.

Once per night, Tactical Evil Dan may send me the name of a player, and the name of one of the members of the mafia. The mafia member picked will then attempt to kill the player targeted that night.

Once during the game, when a kill is sent in to me, you may also PM me stating you would like to use your power. The dead player's alignment will not be revealed in the morning.

You win when the Mafia either equal or outnumber the town, or when nothing can be done to prevent that.

You are a SECURITY GUARD.

Once, during the game, you may PM me and tell me you wish to use your power. You will receive a list of names - all of those players have moved during the night.

Welcome to the game' date=' ccabal86!

 

Your mother dropped you off to play at the swimming pool whilst she went shopping or something boring, but that didn't bother you. You hurriedly changed and ran into the pool, but suddenly there was shouting, and screaming. You turned round and walked out of the pool, peeking around the corner to see a scene of chaos. Turning away so as not to lose your lunch, you noticed alarms had gone off and shutters were starting to fall around the outside of the building.

What was going on?

 

You are a CURIOUS CHILD.

In all respects, you act like a normal townsperson. However, at night, your character will go wandering and maybe find something. You have no control over this.

Welcome to the game' date=' Chaoshawk!

 

You have worked as the pool, cleaning it and checking the levels of Chlorine for 50 years. And indeed, you're quite proud of your accomplishment in keeping the IRONTown pool clean and safe for anyone to swim in. But now the mafia have invaded, they threaten to put a mark on your record - and even put blood in the pool. Bastards.

 

With some chlorine and an old needle a heroin addict dropped at the pool some 20 years ago, you're out for revenge.

 

You are the POOL CLEANER.

Once during the game, at night, you may PM me the name of a player. You will attempt to kill that player on that night.

Welcome to the game' date=' Electric Mango!

 

Even after far too many sleepless nights, you decided to throw caution to the wind, drink some coffee, and take a visit to the local swimming pool to see if that could help you relax. It didn't - the mafia came in and tried to take over to the place, and now you're stuck there.

 

You are an INSOMNIAC.

Your character will get up and wander around the pool at night, since he is unable to sleep.

You win when all the mafia are dead and there is at least one pro-town player left alive.

Welcome to the game' date=' Kaziocore!

 

You spend your spare time working at the swimming pool, and thanks to the generosity of the management staff, you were sent on a not-very-good first aid course to help you in your line of work. As a result, you're one of the better lifeguards in the place, knowing at least the basics of first-aid.

 

You are a FIRST-AID LIFEGUARD.

Once during the game, you may PM me at any point during the game day with the name of the player who was killed the night before. That player will be revivied for the [i']duration of the remainder of that game day[/i], after which they will die again.

You got a part-time job at the local swimming pool for one thing and one thing only. That authoritative feel when you blow the whistle hanging around your neck at some stupid child who's trying to bomb into the pool from the top diving board.

And now the mafia have taken over, you can put that to good use, right?

 

You are a [b']WHISTLE-BLOWING LIFEGUARD[/b].

To confirm your role, please reply to your PM stating what your role is and what you think your character's favourite TV show would be.

 

Welcome to the game' date=' Preston!

 

Being honest with yourself, you're not really sure why you chose to take the job at the pool. The thought of having to dive into the pool, or shouting at someone doing something wrong, simply terrifies you. When the mafia chose to invade, it was all you could do to stop yourself from wetting yourself and making the pool a little warmer. But, you decided you'd at least TRY and do your bit.

 

You are a [b']COWARDLY LIFEGUARD[/b].

You are a normal townsperson in almost all things - except you cannot cast the hammer vote on someone and lynch them. You can still vote - as long as you don't make the final one which leads to someone's death.
