GOSSIP MAFIA - Game Over, Town wins

[Tseirp]

I dont honestly know where to go for now, the game has sort of stalled out. I sort of belive adele, I sort of dont. All I can say about Adele is repeat that I hope to hell you are telling the truth.

As for leads, I am a bit suspicious of wld, as I have been for quite a while (since even before wld replaced into the game).

For Duke, I havent seen enough to actually vote for him.

Because of that, I will remain voteless.

[wldhrtcgd99]

It's probably the truth because it meshes with my role perfectly. I think we should keep going after Duke.

[IH]

....vote:DukeBanks


I think we have time to try and prove if Adele is innocent or not. = D [/b]

Just wanted to say something in case: right now we're probably 5/1/1 town/mafia/SK. Absolute worst case for us, we lynch an innocent today and two innocents die at night, and we wake up at 2/1/1. In this case, the town should NOT try to lynch scum, since lynching the SK hands the win to the mafia, and vice versa.

What the townies should do in this case, is either deadlock the vote to no-lynch, or try to actually lynch an innocent, insane as it may sound. In this case, night starts at 1/1/1, and we have a chance to win by crosskill. In fact, if I'm alive tomorrow in this scenario, I volunteer to lynch myself. If not, well, just lynch whoever seems the most town, or no-lynch.

Again, this is just a contingency scenario in case the @#$! hits the fan. Otherwise, ignore.

[AlexTiefling]

Bah! Go town!

[Adele]

I'd really hate to lose just because people got bored or lynch-happy. The guy has more votes to his name than posts. That's ridiculous. If it's irregular for me to be this cautious, okay, sorry, whatever. It feels normal to me but then, doesn't it always?

I'm gonna consider every post lacking a "I sent the Adele=Scum gossip" claim a "I didn't" claim from here on in. If you did it, 'fess up.

btw, In case it's still not clear, I gossiped as a way of codifying my investigations; I hope (f'rexample) if I'd been murdered last night instead of AT you could've looked at my posting history, seen my one-a-day commitment and extrapolated that Tseirp was cop-cleared. That's why I said "everyone who can gossip should gossip as much as they can", and it's why I didn't claim the gossip as my own until now.

[TopHat]

[DukeBanks]

Sorry for the lack of posts, guys. I've been loaded up with schoolwork. Anyhow, there's one thing that I want to clarify. I wasn't completely pointing a FoS at Adele there, it was just based on initial reactions. As for the comments on lynching, I would have to say that this one is crucial. A bit obvious, I realize, but there is a possibility of 2 innocents killed tonight, which would leave us balanced rather precariously. I don't really see how sacrificing an innocent would help, though, as someone stated.

I find your lack of claim disturbing.

So... how many masons would we have then?

I think a ======[ ] is in order.

Dammit. I meant to say lazarusmoth was my partner, NOT Livingod.

But still, double-you-tee-eff Duke?

[TopHat]

DukeBanks, who were you mason with?

[TopHat]

Also, AFTER DukeBanks responds to the question above, I suggest we do a full claim. Adele, myself and Josh already have claims out there, Tseirp (being investigated innocent) should claim last, so I suggest the order is:

1. Duke clarifies his mason partner
2. IH
3. wldhrt
4. Tseirp

[Tseirp]

Ok...so josh is partnered with moth, TopHat is partnered with Livingod, and Duke is partnered as well? Im not buying the claim of a third pair of masons, Duke is trying to hide something.

Vote:Duke

[TopHat]

You are kindly requested not to hammer yet. We need closure on the claims. Also, if (against all odds) we do wind up in a 2-1-1 endgame tomorrow, please remember post 444. Thanks in advance.

[Tseirp]

Honestly, with Adele now clean (to me currently), I feel that the main lead is towards Duke, and if he really wants to go and not tell us who his partner is, then he is trying to hide something, and is lying about his role. Unless he is Mafia/SK, why would he lie about his role, and why would we have 6 masons in the game?

[Adele]

As far as I'm concerned, Dukebanks was counterclaimed by Josh, and one of the two is scum (unless we get a third claim, exactly one). If we have a vig in the house, then it's a simple case of lynch one vig other, but if not, then from my POV there are two bad guys left standing:

Josh OR Duke (I've distrusted Josh for yonks, so it's 50-50 for me)
AND
Wldcrd OR IH

(this is assuming that Tophat's not a scum-mason and Tseirp's not inv-immune SK, which both seem fair assumptions in a game with a dead GF)

Just wanted to raise that point.

[pete d]

You hear a rumour that DukeBanks is innocent!

[pete d]

vote count:

DukeBanks (3): wld, IH, Tseirp

not voting (4): DukeBanks, Adele, Josh, TopHat

it takes 4 to lunch

[Adele]

Sorry, no dice. If the gossiper wants to influence me, he'll need to say who he is and how he knows the stuff. The existance of the rumour is of no use by itself.

[Josh-oo-wuh]

I want to address Adele's last two posts, starting with the most recent. I agree that the gossip alone really doesn't help. I'm just ignoring it.

As for the other post, here it is, with a bolded emphasis added by me:

[TopHat]

I believe she meant, lynch one, and if he's innocent vig the other. At least that's how I'm reading it.

[DukeBanks]

Yeah, I'm gonna have to agree with TopHat here.

Ah, okay. That makes a lot more sense.

[Adele]

[TopHat]

Riiiight,

So, DukeBanks passed on the opportunity to clarify his claim, and he's definitely the lynch for today. I'd like to hear some more from IH and wldhrt, and then we'll be ready to hammer.

[IH]

Tophat, I'd like you to explain the order of your massclaim.

In other words, why did you want that order to go.

Because wldhrt was fairly active in the game, and we can get some kind of read on her based on the posts. You, on the other hand, are a clean slate. Both your predecessors hardly said anything; that's why I'd like you to go first.

[Adele]

[Josh-oo-wuh]

I'll glady clarify my entire role. As said before, I was lazarusmoth's mason partner. Also, I am not a gossip.

I equal vanilla townie now.

Who's next?

[IH]

Alright, I'm a backup. I can't gossip unless I backup a role that could gossip. I haven't used it yet. Will probably use it tonight.

[Tseirp]

Yea, IH, what does the whole backup thing mean? I have never heard of a role using a "backup" before, and honestly, I really am not buying it.

[Adele]

Just in case anyone's wondering, IH managed to author over 50 posts on MafiaScum since the last post in this game. So, he appears to be deliberately avoiding answering a simple question. Should we continue waiting, or move on to wld?

[Adele]

^^^I am of course assuming that the IH here is the same person as the IH there.
