April Fools' Mafia

OK, so here's how we should approach this. No one else should vote. No one should cancel their vote. If LTO gets lynched, then one of the voters for him is definite mafia. If he isn't voted up, then everyone who voted for him is confirmed innocent. Anyone who cancels their vote is suspicious. Sorry LTO.

I guess I must sacrifice myself for the greater good

So people that haven't voted are doomed!

Yeah, uh, I'm just gonna reset the vote. I'm not putting people at a potential disadvantage just because I forgot to put something in the day post. The vote is now 0 for everyone.

EDIT: Also, if nobody votes, the result will be considered a 21-way tie and randomly determined from all vote options (that is, every living player plus No Lynch).

Also, meant to post this earlier:

A democratic anomaly has occurred! Due to bullshit occult forces beyond the townies' comprehension, only Mafia votes will be counted this day phase.

If only mafia votes count, then screw it, I'm not voting. I Withhold My Vote.

I suppose that's fair. If I'm reading correctly, then I don't think everyone holding their votes is a great idea.

Wait, so if nobody votes, it's Russian Roulette?

Changing vote to LTO.

There goes the Russian option.

Casting my vote for LTO.

edit: I'm a bit reluctant to say this, but I feel Snickerway didn't mention that option for nothing. Not claiming as a fact that Snickerway is lying and putting that little update post there to distract us, but perhaps, just a slight chance perhaps, it was meant to draw our attention to those that had voted. It's a very weak conclusion, and certainly not something I think people should consider when suspecting who's mafia, but I do want to bring it up, for well, discussion.

Because at the end of the day, it might as well just be human error.

It was totes human error. I forgot to put something in the post and that messed things up, so I reset the vote. That's honestly all that happened.

Ah well, I'll trust you as you are GM after all. Just really want to work with a solid list of suspects, that's all.

I thinks we should remember that at any point Snicker could be lying to us.

Which is why I brought up what I did, but let's not all become too paranoid. That's the last thing we need in a murder mystery.

Ok, so if my count is correct, we're currently at 3 for No Lynch and 2 for LTO. If we're still going by what Snicker said then only mafia votes will be counted this round so I think it would be best if no one else voted from this point on. That way if LTO dies, we know either Bummer or Xin are mafia and if no one dies we know either Black Graphic T, Thepyrowasaspy, and/or Freakenstein are mafia. If a random person other than LTO dies, we can be fairly certain (95% certain in fact), that none of those 5 are mafia (unless of course there's a tie on both sides between mafia members, but even knowing that would be helpful).

Of course, this plan won't help us root out cultists but I'd say it's the best shot we have.

I may be wrong, but I don't think the people who abstained meant to vote for no lynch. I'm pretty sure the score right now is 2 for LTO and 1 for No Lynch.

What if the mafia is trying to ruse us with LTO from killing Tillster because of their posts in the second page?

I mean wouldn't it be too obvious from LTO to say "RIP Snickerway and I say we lynch TillsterRulz" And then Tillster says "fuk u LTO" when he dies? There's like 2 sides of it of what I see, either mafia or the cultists saw that as an opportunity to kill Tillster and point the blame to LTO, or LTO actually did something to Tillster to say that.

(Also how do I quote a specific part of a post here?)

Fair point.

However, my original plan still holds. KYFPMM, you should switch your vote to LTO. That way if someone other than LTO dies we can rule out KYFPMM, Bummer, and Xin in one round. Needless to say, no one else should vote in this round, unless they want to risk being potentially implicated as mafia.

@LTO
I'm not trying to get you lynched, I'm trying to rule out potential mafia members. I'd say it's relatively unlikely that there's a mafia member between the three people who have voted and if in fact there isn't, then we've eliminated 3 people from the list of suspects. On the other hand, if there is a mafia member among them then we've narrowed it down to at least one of three people.

My apologies if I missed something, but this plan is based on what Snickerway saying is true? That only mafia votes are counted? Because regardless of how devious and non-strict this mafia game is compared to the traditional style, I don't think the Game Master would lie when saying "It was human error. I forgot to put something in the post and that messed things up, so I reset the vote."

However, upon further reading, saying "resetting the vote" doesn't mean that the rule of only mafia votes being counted is cancelled. So, Snickerway, does that rule still apply?

Black Graphic T wrote:

Let's make this interesting.

No Lynch.

I'm not a mafia member, so my vote won't count.

Don't forget to bold your votes with * on both sides so Snickerway knows it's an official vote.

You've immediately made yourself more suspicious in my books. If the vote turns out with a no lynch majority then we'll immediately know that either you KYFPMM, or both of you are mafia. The only reason you would want to add yourself into this vote is if you were 100% positive that KYFPMM is not mafia, which at this point in the game seems unlikely to me.

It does still apply, yes. All I did was reset the vote counts to zero here.

Well this is a pickle. I voted for LTO because of Walter's convincing reasoning. But due to the votes being reset, it means that anyone new that votes has reason to be suspected.

I guess I absent mindedly set myself into a bad position.

I'll just let it be. After all, mafia members are the only votes counted, so if I keep my vote for LTO, I'm under suspicion, but if I change it to no lynch, that also brings suspicion.

I refuse to believe your dindu muffins otels
If anything it only makes me more suspicious of you
>wating for the results of the vote

If you actually voted and you're innocent, you shouldn't have anything to worry about.

If I die it means either Major Bummer or Xin is a mafia member, if no lynch then one of the people who went for the "no lynch" option will be killed. If neither of those are chosen then everyone who voted on day 2 are not mafia.

I am abstaining because more vote will mean that Mafia members can sneak in their vote and lynch without getting much suspicion

@Major Bummer
Like I said on last post of page 2, it was just friendly jab between me and Tills

I would rather prove my innocence right now then stay a potential suspect after the vote. So since what I vote doesn't matter I'll say lynch LTO.

Just be aware that you're taking a risk. If LTO ends up lynched then you're a potential suspect. If you withdraw or change your vote you'll also be a prime suspect at this point.

That's alright. This game would be no fun without some risk.

Night 2

LTO had the most votes, with a total of one.

The townies somberly led LTO to the prison, where a firing squad had been lined up. LTO stood firmly against the wall, awaiting his fate.

A shot rang out, and LTO's limp body fell to the dusty ground. A townie rushed forward to find his role, but suddenly…

Little did the townies realize, LTO was FUCKING INVINCIBLE! LTO escaped from the firing squad and flew into the sky, far beyond the townies' reach.

The puzzled townies shrugged and went back to bed, sure that the night's events would only confuse things further.

Crimeariver wrote:

To clarify Snickerway, did LTO receive a total of 1 vote, or was there a difference of 1 vote between him and No Lynch?

He received a total of one vote.

Errr, is LTO actually still in the game? Or was that an elaborate way of saying he has left, or "has been removed from the game".


Anyways, I understand why people will suspect me. I have a weak defense, which is I misread Snickerway's posts. But if anyone will believe me, it honestly was just me skimming too fast and not processing it all.

However, because we know only one vote was registered, it means two of us are innocent, or at least not mafia members. At least it helped in narrowing things down.

LTO OTL survived the lynching and is still in.
