Mafia XXXIV Game Thread - Who Framed Roger Rabbit?

[Balki Bartokomous]

@Balki - what do you make of the significance of the reedeer RB claim from N1?

Bump

Well, I'm pretty sure Reedeer is town, regardless of that claim. As far as the independent significance of that data point...I don't know. Either he or I could have fake-claimed a RB as scum in this setup. In fact, because of the watcher, that's definitely a possibility. But I wouldn't simply assume it to be so. I'd wait and see if one day we get a Nurse claim, and then we'll have more data to sort the RB claims. For now, they are not playing any role in my reads.

[Balki Bartokomous]

Yeah, I don't like Bo's "Who should I vote for" entrance today. Seems purposefully detached.

##vote Bo_Sox

@Ike - you could consider asking Brainbomb to help you verify vote counts or something. I see him online. Feel free to not respond and ignore. Just a suggestion.

This is actually a good idea, is anyone willing to help out with official vote counts today? BB? Jamiet?

[bo_sox48]

a) MLQ is town and the argument that she isn't doesn't really make sense to me. No scum would play D1 and D2 like she did. If you can make it make sense, do so.

b) I'm town and the argument that I'm not comes down to the thought that there must be a veteran on the mafia team, which is great, and that Rj made a terrible scumread against me and I laughed it off as opposed to going after him with fire and fury. The fact that none of this has come out at all prior to today is still getting to me, as if mafia was like “we can’t afford to kill him because we have to hunt down PRs and we don’t think bo is a PR, so let’s make sure we come after him today.”

c) As far as I know, nobody has made a case on Balki but I would like to read one, so if you have one, let's hear it. He’s not a terrible lynch, though I don’t see much in the way of connections to Jamie or Rj. His last post reeks.

d) rdrivera is a late day busser. I vaguely recall another game where he took to bussing as well and I think he won it. It happened on D1 and D2. It didn’t happen on D3 because there was no scum to bus on D3. He’s the only potential candidate that I can actually be confident in.

##VOTE rdrivera

If I actually have to make another post before the EOD, yall will not be very happy with yourselves.

[Tom Bombadil]

I don't see anyone coming to the defense of Mean except Foxy. And he has been townreading her for a while, with strong reasons.

I think the lynches should be between bo_sox, Balki and meme/Yoyo

[Tom Bombadil]

rdrivera is a terrible lynch bo. Try again.

[Tom Bombadil]

Look at the vote analysis. There is such a small chance rdrivera bussed D1 and bussed D2 - and his votes both days swayed the lynches.

[Foxcastle]

Tom, why Bo_sox? I think the interactions with Rjm at the start of day 2 are just not believable as scum-v-scum.

[Foxcastle]

Bo_sox, having recently reread Balki, there's limited stuff with either Jamiet or Rjm. But I think his logic on Day 3 processing ND and Yav is broken, and since Day 3 he's been trying to to out PRs with a silly claim that we are nearing Town auto-win territory...

[Tom Bombadil]

Mostly because his vote history sucks. And this vote on rd is strange. I don't really know what to make of his rj interaction truthfully - I didn't strike me either way.

I have a lot of people I'm not interested in lynching today.

[RagingIke297]

Gm announcement Jamie will be helping with vote counts, please treat him how you would treat HR or Myself

[Tom Bombadil]

I also don't care for Balki being arrogant, but I don't know that that is alignment indicative.

[Jamiet99uk]

VOTE COUNT 4.3

bo_sox48 (4): thamrick, reedeer1, Tom Bombadil, Balki Bartokomous

Currently BO_SOX is set to be lynched.

Yoyoyozo still needs to vote.

You have 28 Minutes remaining.

[rdrivera2005]

Sorry guys, I had a really busy day today, my mother-in-law is here and I am struggling to keep updated with the thread.
I am keeping my vote on Mean as I think she is less genuine then Balki on his arguments, even reading Fox text and acknowledging it has some points. Still, Mean interaction with RJ and Jamiet D1 really strike me as scum. And her drop of participation and even of tone the following days too.

[thamrick]

The fact that none of this has come out at all prior to today is still getting to me, as if mafia was like “we can’t afford to kill him because we have to hunt down PRs and we don’t think bo is a PR, so let’s make sure we come after him today.”

What did you mean by this?

[bo_sox48]

Rdrivera is a fantastic lynch, Tom. I had planned on going through and rereading him to put together a case today, but as you can see, I haven't had time for this game. Even today, my day off, is being taken up by, yup, work. You should just trust me that rdrivera is the right lynch for today, do some rereading yourself, and cast a vote for him.

[DemonRHK]

I don't like bo for a lynch. Tom picked up on my hesitation on Mean, there is no one arguing the other side but Fox, and there's not enough pressure to suspect a sac bus.

Rd's D1 vote still had Jamie safely behind until the very last push. D2 as well, the vote still had the scum behind the lead wagon. I believe scum rd can and did make those bus votes.

[thamrick]

Thanks for agreeing to help Jamiet... you scumbag

But seriously. Very kind of you.

[Tom Bombadil]

I did reread him, he is one of my strongest townreads. I'm quite baffled how you ended up there as I consider you a pretty strong town player.
