@DemonMoon - you're so cute <3333!!
Here I am with the words it's me!!
I actually want to end my sentences in this post, so I'm just going to put exclamation points at the end of all of them! It's going to be great! You'll all love it! You can pretend I'm really, really excited! Or maybe I'm just super angry and yelling at all of you more than usual! Who!! Knows!!!
Anyway!
Firstly, I'd like to point out that Mr. Alchemist has withdrawn! Meaning we are now down two townies rather than the expected one! If we mislynch again today, we will have lost three town in 24 hours! This is not super great! I think Electing To Not Kill Anyone is a pretty viable tactic in this situation, but not at all necessary if no one wants to!!
Another thing to consider! This game is purely vanilla, there are no power roles! There are no protective roles or stunning roles! Mafia can kill whomever they want every single phase! Things to keep an eye on:
-Mafia may elect to kill off all the aggressive/active speculators very early on! (if this is the case, keep an eye on any of the following if they do not die soon: KA-CAW, Bird in a Coat, Nickel, me)
-Mafia may elect to frame the strong speculators instead of killing them, going for quieter players instead! this is a strategy that works in the long run when So and So the aggressive talky player is still alive on day eight they must be mafia!! (if this is the case, keep an eye on KA-CAW, me, Nickel, My Brother the Angel because I think they're all the most likely to employ this strategy)
-MAFIA IS JUST CHOOSING RANDOM TARGETS MAN!!! IDK!!!!!!!! probable
@my brother the angel! I find it very very vERY unlikely that if I was able to ask the host for clarification re: being vanilla or not, that between the FOUR mafia members they would not have figured it out! mafia very likely knew they were all vanilla (and thus the rest of the game) from the very start (unless they are comprised entirely of a crew of oblivious oddballs but i think the Death of the Chef implies that's unlikely)! i don't think the chef dying had anything to do with her being a likely/unlikely target for a town protective role!
okay let's talk players!!!
Here's the player list! All the crossed off names are people I have null reads on or will not be voting for and only have minor comments to make about them!
Volleyball Nerd/KA-CAW (no real reason to suspect her beyond cursory wariness/respect for EVIl TENDENCIES so far!)
Tony the Ogre (shrugs)
Faceless Anne
My Sister the Waterbender
Bunny Robot/Roborabbit/Roborabbit the Bunny Robbit (always scummy, I always harass him D1, he's not really!!! that!!! scummy to me today? or at the very least i have bigger bunnies to fry!)
My Brother the Angel (had a good reason for not posting, i still won't rule him out as mafia and might vote him if i have to do so to save myself)
Nickel
Burgermeister Meisterburger
Lady Kaiba (she's very quiet when she's mafia and she's actually made a few posts unprompted, this reads to me how she acts when she's town! for now!)
(the) Chef (rip)
Alphabetical Furry (no real vibes)
The Alchemist (also rip i hope everything is okay!!)
Legendary Pokemon (shrug)
me (i'm not voting for myself, thanks!)
Bird in a Coat/Lord English/TWEET TWEET WORDS (actively making lots of posts with lots of words! reads to me more how she acts when she's town than mafia because she's a lot less aggressive/assertive when it comes to speculating when she's mafia!)
Demon Moon (no real vibes! i dunno!)
goose
this leaves!!!
Faceless Anne
My Sister the Waterbender
Nickel
Burgermeister Meisterburger
goose
Faceless Anne - has not posted since signing up! is she even real? is she even here? does she even exist? where is she! if it comes down to it I think voting off inactives is better than voting off active speculators! even if an active speculator might be mafia, speculation still creates discussion and an inactive player does nothing! (ranked likelihood of voting:
4/5)
My Sister the Waterbender - dropped an RNG vote on me even after I'd posted and provided no reason! she's sort of gotten out of the habit of doing that (or does activity votes where she unvotes people after they post, yet she hasn't doen so this time??) so it's kind of weird to me that she's doing it again! she also just up and vanished??? where are you sister come back (RLOV
5/5)
Nickel - Nickel is a pretty strong mafia player and she hopped in to ask clarification about the nickname thing and then just... vanished with no indication that she was going to be gone for the rest of the phase! this is kind of strange to me! where is she! where did she go! come back my friend (RLOV initially
3/5 but might be more inclined since Demon Moon just voted for her and i don't want split votes and I REALLY don't want to die!)
Burgermeister Meisterburger - where are you our Mayor? she's always kind of inactive, but when she's town she definitely posts more often! i actually haven't seen her as mafia on d1 (since when she was mafia in volleyball maf she replaced someone who had to drop out)! she's also on skype so?? WHERE YO AT WHERE YO AT?!?!?! COME TELL US YOUR THOUGHTS FRIEND EVEN IF THEY ARE OF CANNIBALISM (RLOV:
2/5)
goose - okay here we go! i am very inclined to vote for goose (though i might vote for Nickel or BMMB depending on how other people vote and if other people don't vote goose i will probably unvote and vote someone else so we have a defined concensus)! the waterfowl's reason for voting (?? the vote wasn't bolded but was claimed to be a vote uhhh i don't know what's going on there) My Brother Who is an Angel is... so flimsy it's pinging all kind of radars! it's not uncommon for people to be suspicious of a particular person based on the NK, but one of the games MBWIAA was mafia in where the chef died was the game KA-CAW hosted in which mafia straight up couldn't choose their nk target! the chef dying was a byproduct of Lady Kaiba passing to her and had nothing to do with MBWIAA or the mafia's directed targets! another thing!! even if MBWIAA IS mafia, i'm... sorry but he's not likely to be the one calling the shots or deciding who the NK target is! especially since, in the second game you cited, My Otherself the Cat was also mafia and is far more likely to have been the one that picked The Chef as the target, not MBWIAA!
it's not a very good reason to vote him at all i think and given that he already had a vote on him, it'd tip the lynch in his favor and easily spark a bandwagon! this is kind of suspicious enough to me-- also the non-vote declaration of voting and then not actually voting is kind? of? weird??
another thing that's got me a little confused is the claimed confusion of not understanding the nicknames or bothering to figure them out! lots of people have been confused and the creators of the nicknames have been forthcoming about who they are! you can always ask who someone is referring to, or refer to one of roborabbits many lists that catalogue all the names! (RLOV:
1/5!
vote: goose)
i may unvote if the votes tend in a different direction or get more spread out! i'm just tossing my reasons out here for now! we only have two hours to rollover guys!! please show up and vote!!
EDIT: NINAD BY BMMB HERSELF!!!! will read her post and revise this
