April Fools' Mafia

I guess that means his role was one that is allowed to survive a lynch under the requirement that we have to vote for a copycat name.

But let's point out that his alliance hasn't been shared.

You know who isn't so lucky? Xin and Bummer. Not going to point fingers, but one of them tried to argue that Snickerway was a liar when it came to the mafia vote rules.

I tried arguing that Snicker could be lying about the vote rules, not that he was.
Eh, not that makes a difference now.

Told ya it was a bad idea.

The "bad idea" was me thinking Snickerway resetting the previous nights votes to zero and removing the rule that only mafia members would be counted.

Once I voted, I had no way to remove my suspicion. If I kept my vote, and the votes were counted, I'd be a suspect.

If I removed my vote, people would suspect me because they'd think I, a potential mafia member, would sever any relation with the vote.

It's simple, two of us aren't mafia members, one of us are. It's narrowed down. So far there isn't any real clues to work off of on who's who.

But it also means the mafia knows who they can target. That means the two of us that aren't mafia members will be on their list in the future.

Perhaps the doctor might play their cards right, and save an ally. Or perhaps they will unwillingly defend the wrong person. Who knows. What I do believe is that one of us in the trio will face death fairly soon. Lynch, murder, or some supernatural cause. Bring it on.

All three of us might end up dying if the lynching goes badly enough

Or if someone with a special role gets us first. It is the night phase after all. A lot of bargaining, this one.

Well, looks like my gamble blew up in my face. I guess I only have myself to blame for this. On the bright-side, the town now has a lead on one of the mafia members. That is one step closer to victory.

Oh my gosh this is great. Two of us here are staring at the screen, wondering which of the other two is a mafia member. Meanwhile, the mafia member plays dumb and goes with the rest, trying to blend in.


I see only one solution to this predicament. The Monty Hall approach.

As the Krillin of the group, I say we lay low unless someone with hella powerful, err, powers can do something at night.

If we lynch enough, I am sure we can find the mafia member … eventually

I doubt it.

Also Graphic, what exactly excludes Quavalin from being unlucky?

Quavalin is still under suspicion, but less so. The main reason is that he was the last one to join the vote. If he was a mafia member it wouldn't make sense for him to join the vote knowing he was the only one who's vote counted.

Remember that if there were no mafia votes, we'd get a tie accross the board. They could've chosen to sacrfice one to keep the amount of suspects to the minimum possible and get a guaranteed kill in, instead of having lady luck decide the outcome alongside more confirmed innocents.

Also, the Cult is still a thing. Even if there are those whose votes didn't count and thus can be considered innocent in theory, there could still be cultists and a cult leader hidden amongst them as their votes didn't count either. It wouldn't suprise me if the cult leader chooses to cultify those proven innocent.

Arrgh don't go there matey, last game did that and most of those scallyways won by making all of us vanillas walk the plank on our own.

Yeah, I agree. I just mean that he's currently less suspicious than the other two are.

Your point about the cult is certainly valid though.

Day 3

The next victim of the mafia was CrowTheMagician. His body was found impaled on an UNBREAKABLE KATANA, which was apparently a reference to Homestuck or some shit.

The townies rushed to investigate his role:

Arrrgh! Ye be the Inquisitive Pirate, a crew member of the town, matey! On any night phase, ye can target a landlubber to search ‘em, digging up their role and allegiance like buried treasure. But be warned! Ye must always talk like a pirate when postin’ in the thread, lest ye be made to walk he plank! Ye win when the town wins.

Crow left no last words.

Other miscellaneous events:

- The Duplicator has become a Cop.
- RVB has not occurred.

The day phase ends when all votes have been received, or on Monday, April 18.

Sorry this phase was late; I didn't receive PMs from several people and gave them an extra day to send stuff in.

Someone wants me dead, was targeted last night. Obviously, it failed.

Well, there goes another town member.

It's the day again, shall we decide who to cast our votes on between the three major suspects, me, Bummer, or Black Graphic T?

What? Why me? I didn't vote to lynch Like you and bummer did. That was quavalin.

major suspects


Graphic dindu muffin though, he voted no lynch
Quavalin is the third suspect
(I wouldn't be surprised if they were both cult or masons though)

Someone wants me dead

Are you sure that they were trying to kill you? I doubt any faction would try to kill the suspects while everyone is still unproven.

cult leader starts out alone, and alternates between converting and killing enemies

That was the second night
And the only people who have definite gain from someone dying in the vote is cult
This also supports my claim that Quavalin and Black are cult probably
Voting Quavalin.

Does the cult have the capability to kill too? Because why would the Mafia want to kill one of the three suspects? That would only make things worse for one of them.

This seems very unlikely to me, I'm not buying it.

It's a miracle! Crow has temporarily risen from his grave to announce his last words!

I never trusted Freakenstein and everyone should vote him off. Also my spirit will rise from the grave much stronger then before.

And then he died again. Alas.

That is to say, Crow was in the middle of sleeping for 17 hours while I posted the phase and was unable to send in his last words soon enough.

Well if the cop says we shouldn't trust Freakenstein, then that seems like a pretty solid reason to vote him out. I vote Freakenstein

Someone in the mafia voted for . Now we have this trail to Freakenstien. Is it posssible to vote for more then 1 person to be lynched a day?

I'm afraid not, the lynch only goes to one person only.

But if we have a Town Killing Role, the person who has the role can deal with freakenstein while we deal with the three suspects.

Actually, Black brings up a good point. If we force a tie between Freakenstein and one of the three who voted for LTO then we might also learn some things depending on how the vote is counted.

Well, I have no way of proving this unless I actually screenshot my proof, but that'd be no fun now would it.

Now I believe mafia members know who each other are, right? I don't know what their reasoning is, but they know which of the three suspects is a mafia member. That makes it easy to target the townies. Of course, it does narrow down the list to two, which is indeed unwise.

Here's what I'm going to state, and take it as you will, "I was attacked, but the attacker realized too late that he was out of ammunition and fled."

On one hand voting for someone in the current suspect pool of Xin, Major Bummer, and myself has a 2/3 chance of lynching an innocent person. Not only that but whoever is killed could have a role that would be beneficial to the town (be it investigating or protecting). On the other hand we have a good reason to suspect why one, and only one, person is a malcontent. Now, I don't know about the rest of you guys, but a 100% percent chance to catch a criminal sounds a lot better than a 33.3% chance. So right now I am voting lynch Freakenstein.

I am going to take that with a grain of salt, but for now, let's just get the apparent criminal according to the Pirate's will, I vote for Freakenstein.

Indeed, perhaps the old sailor's judgement is safer here. I place my vote for Freakenstein as well.

Well that just ties a loose end after his death

And like Crimeariver said, cop claim so voting Freakenstein

Crow talked and coordinated a lot so he must have been a big target.

He talked a lot, but the only truly notable thing about his posts was the pirate accent I'm now noticing. I find it more likely that either A) he was investigated, or B) a seer discovered his role description and the kill followed.

Major Bummer pointed it out as well, but in the OP post description on the Cult Leader you can read:

cult leader starts out alone, and alternates between converting and killing enemies

So it's likely either the cult leader or a townie killer role went for Xin (assuming Xin is speaking the truth). One of those three (Xin,quavalin and Major Bummer) is mafia, we can confirm that much.

It seem unlikely one of the mafia would kill of his competition and make it easier for us to discover him. The more of those three are alive, the longer he can postpone his inevitable death. If anything, another party wanting Xin dead works against him because it may imply a special role investigated him and tried to kill him (or have an ally do it).

Someone in the mafia voted for . Now we have this trail to Freakenstien. Is it posssible to vote for more then 1 person to be lynched a day?

One person gets lynched (although like last time, they may survive). If a tie occurs, it's a coinflip.

Only during the night more can die, depending on how many people have killing roles besides the mafia.


Actually, Black brings up a good point. If we force a tie between Freakenstein and one of the three who voted for LTO then we might also learn some things depending on how the vote is counted.

Based on what I typed above, if you're going that route I'd advice to go after Xin.

If nobody is interested and everybody just wants to follow up on Crow's lead (which seems to be the case), I'll hop on that boat and will vote Freakenstein.

Edit: Now I know what the guy said sounds incriminating (in fact all it is is finger pointing), but you should really take into consideration my situation. Why in the world would I joke about being the Krillin of the group?

You're not really making a strong case there bro.
