PHOENIX WRIGHT: ACE MAFIA

author=Trihan
Do you honestly think Phoenix Wright would be Mafia, for instance?

Apollo Justice version was a bit of a jerk tbh

@Cave Dog:I was just suggesting.

But either way, to lynch now is really to throw a coin and wait for the best to happen, it could be good as it could be bad, so I really don't feel like pointing to anyone since everybody is suspicious for me right now. Mafia acts like they were innocent so going for the ones who looks suspicious could be a great thing for them. So I could throw the coin but the real thing start the second day when the lynching votes have been already done.

Can we abstain?

Okay, but you keep saying secret boss. As in, the boss of the mafia? Or, something to be taken care of once all mafia are gone? Independent roles can frequently be helpful to town as long as it is beneficial to them. Unless the mystery role's win condition is to not get lynched at 3-way LYLO, I don't see why this would be any different. You aren't theorizing what this mystery role might mean for us, you're guessing what flavor character it might be, and guessing flavor characters that have clear scum explanations (Gant-Scumcop, Gavin-Scum Forger)

Yeah, I do think Wright could be mafia if the host was creative enough. I've seen PW mafia games where Max Galactica was scum, a game where Godot was scum with Dahlia Hawthorne, a game where winston payne was scum...Wright being scum would make for an interesting story.

Sorry, when I say "secret boss" it's just a catch-all term for an unknown independent. Independent roles CAN be helpful, but they can be equally hurtful depending on who gets them and what they can do. Let's take the earlier suggestion of an independent who can choose whether to be town or mafia; would you want to lynch that person because they might eventually end up being against you?

What I'm trying to do is theorise what the role might be for us by discussing which character it's likely to be. I can't imagine the roles not having at least some resemblance to their character's function or ability. Like if we have Maya Fey I'm guessing she'll be able to talk to the dead in some fashion.

The difference between Phoenix and the other characters you mentioned is that they're all...grey. Godot's murdered, Max Galactica is a jerk...Phoenix is a nice guy and always does the right thing, even when it hurts him. (okay, after the trilogy he was a bit greyer but still).

However, I don't want to bog discussion down in my speculation so I'll keep my thoughts on the secret role to myself. You're right that it will eventually be dealt with one way or the other, I just didn't want anyone to be caught napping when we eventually discover what the role is capable of.

If enough people vote to abstain from lynching nobody will die, Shinan.

It is always very difficult for me to judge people in this game the first day.

Holy, page 3. Well, let's get this court in session.
#lynch Shinan, and help his suicide.

A little late, can't see much of anything at this point except that MrChearlie's idea of the mystery man seems a rather good one and that CAVE_DOG and Shinan are being themselves, so :
#No Lynch, I guess.

Something tells me Despite isn't going to play.

why does he sign in though?
