MAFIA 48 -The Gladiator- GAME THREAD [HIDDEN]

[e.m.c^42]

Also...

Anyone wondering why EMC has a challenge?

Oh, I sent a message (from the Jamie challenge) to someone I highly thought was scum with a more intricate plan reassuring them of the benefits of giving me a challenge.

However, all of that means nothing now as once again I was stricken by indecisiveness, hah

[e.m.c^42]

aka EMC is a tubelight and slow

[damo666]

Just home pissrd. Quick update please..

##vote Xorxes

It will be a boring day.

[RagingIke297]

well theres only one side still playing that has a puzzle to solve. and this is mafia. Playing these games well can add to skill level and proficiency. Its simply more fun yo solve. Xorxes has won so many games as scum that he didnt deserve to win. Hes stolen countless victories from all of us as a wolf.
And yea it sucks that they had to deal with a late sub out by percy, but neph probably was gonna die anyway.

dont make a decision based on negotiating, make a decision that makes you a better mafia player.

Brain! I think I've got the whole game figured out, I've got it down to like 3 question marks, everyone else I know for 100%. Should I post it?

sure. why are you asking? just go for it

It would reallllllly narrow down some PR pools

[RagingIke297]

What is happening, I leave for 3 hours and Brainbomb thinks he's pegged me as scum now?? Get back here and let me prove you wrong.

[RagingIke297]

BRAINBOMB YOU WILL NOT GET AWAY WITH THIS BESMIRCHMENT OF MY CHARACTER!!!!

[worcej]

yuuki (3): ItsHosuke, Chaqa, Nephthys
ItsHosuke (3): DemonRHK, worcej, damo666

[Floodgates]

What happened in day 3? Why don't you include that?

[RagingIke297]

What happened in day 3? Why don't you include that?

Day 3 was a town v town challenge, won't learn too much there

[Chaqa]

So, we have 12 players alive currently, broken down as such:

Town:
- Chaqa (Lazy Cop)
- Brainbomb (Roleblocker)
- Worcej (Maximus)
- Yuuki (Adrenaline Junkie)

Survivor:
- EMC

Scum:
- xorxes

Scumpool:
- Carambola
- Damo
- RagingIke
- Rivera
- Temasek
- Floodgates (Vecna)

I will first go over a brief voting history of each of them. Then, I will outline who I think the scumteam is. Lastly, I will provide a guide for us to follow to win this game based on what happens with xorxes.

*reminder: 2 scum, 3 VT, 1 bodyguard in this group

Carambola
Cara voted for Vecna briefly on Day 1, and then for Vapor. On Day 2, he voted for Jamiet immediately after Neph and stayed there. He didn't vote on Day 3. Day 4 he did the obvious and jumped on Neph/xorx. But I want to draw attention to this post:

Caram – Dislike how he said “putting reads out helps scum” yet don’t really see why that would come from scum. Shockingly low activity. Reads are not backed up by anything. Only thing of note is Hosuke’s read of him.

???????
Please link when I said that. Your ludicrous attempt to throw a shade on another player lying about what he supposedly said is something I would want you to explain.

I’m voting you to be lynched from now on, talking sΩℵΓ∈ shows what your role is.

BTW, i am it page 111 or so, still a lot to read.

I was voting Neph no matter what, I already said so this night after reading the thread (and missing the deadline to vote while reading, I know); I was convinced by this blatant lie where he was framing another player trying to get advantage of the fact that said player (me) was not too much around and was probably going to miss reading it because of the 50 pages of catch up. But hey, I did read it all, and spotted his lying about me.

So, []vote Nephthys

Btw, he also put me as s/s with Ike, while the only reading I have had of him the whole game was scum. And I was pretty clear about it from day 1.

This post is extremely scummy to me, particularly this line: "Btw, he also put me as s/s with Ike, while the only reading I have had of him the whole game was scum. And I was pretty clear about it from day 1." I have a thought that one possible scumteam is Cara/Ike, BUT, this is more likely a "if Cara is scum, Ike is also scum" than a "if ike is scum, Cara is scum". Basically, if Ike flips scum, Cara may still be innocent. More on this later.

Damo
Damo was a crucial and critical piece of the Hosuke lynch and personally I am convinced he is town, so I'm not actually going to spend time on this one.

Ike
Ike's voting was very manic Day 1 and 2, which could be a town-hint, but the way he self-voted and the way the Hosuke wagon happened have me a little doubtful. Ike voted for Hosuke after RHK's case, which had one key point that (paraphrasing) Hosuke had been told to shut up by his teammates. This would imply some experience, which fits xorxes, but also fits Ike. As to why Ike stayed on this wagon instead of moving to Jamiet - I suspect it possibly was an intentional, semi-organized bus by the one or two scum who were online at the time. Notably - xorxes and Neph did not post around this time. If Ike is scum, his partner is among Vecna, Rivera, and Cara.

Rivera
Rivera's voting looks very suspicious on review. Day 1 he sat voting on me all day (not too odd, actually). Day 2, he came out with an early Hosuke vote, switched to xorxes, then back to Hosuke after it was all but a sure thing. Day 3, he votes xorxes again, but then has to vote Jamiet when the challenge happened.

I think the main thing that sticks out to me here is that almost no one has voted for rivera, but rivera had voted for two scum on Days 1-2.

Temasek
I actually think Tem is town on reread and analysis. He makes a lot of vote jumping, and xorxes attempted to throw shade at him, which may indicate he is actually town. Not completely sold on town!Tem yet though.

Floodgates
I super strongly town read Vecna, so Flood is probably town. TBH I'm tired so these last two are lazy AF lmao.


Scum to town axis:
Scum

Rivera
Ike
Cara
Tem
Vecna
Damo

Town

So, my guess is: Rivera/Cara, Cara/Ike, or Rivera/Ike, most likely.

Next post: procedural stuff!
