I'll mention to that I voted for Ratty not because of a bandwagon but because to alleviate gourds claim of working together. It's still something I might do because of like to sway gourd. but you, piano are just as bloodthirsty this game as Kloe was. but she was town and I knew that after some snooping and mistakenly calling her role out. you're an egnima. one that still wants me dead.
My, it's getting steamy in here, isn't it? >.>

To be fair, IF, I don't find much convincing about you voting for ratty after the fact. If you are ratty's partner in crime you could very well vote for them just to distance yourself when they flip scum. That seemed like a very earnest move to me though so I guess you did sway me either way. >.<

I will admit that's piano wording is troubling me. WHEN ratty flips town...

Why are you so certain that ratty will flip town, piano?
*sway me a little either way.

Because you're not town, are you?


Who can say? This is mafia. We don't know who anyone is, and I don't know who you are.

I'll flip town if you lynch me.


So you say.

InfectionFiles
and this isn't retaliatory, just something I've been feeling for awhile. You want the easy town kill knowing you aren't killing a special, someone you would like to infect.


Except you voted for me. I dont want to suspect them since they defended me. you've done nothing but hound me this game. So you're my first target.


Nope, totally not retaliatory.

I'll flip town if you lynch me. You lose either way and then you won't be laughing because the game is going to be brutal after this Day/Night.


Maybe you will, maybe you won't. All I see is someone who was way too aggressive suddenly dropping into the background and only following what everyone else does. Every game, so far, people always have it in for Ratty.

The biggest thing for me personally is that you don't give off that sense of security you have before and that worries me.


Why, because I haven't gone bat-shit crazy? I can do that. Isn't the lone wolf defending someone from an easy lynch kind of crazy? Oh, because I'm defending someone else, instead of you, I'm the bad guy? Every game Ratty plays, nobody seems to know him, even though he always acts the same. So come on, IF, make the case to lynch Ratty if you're so convinced he's scum, and I can counter every single one of them with "normal behavior for Ratty". I've seen him play scum before. Trust me, you'll know when he's scum, and this isn't it.

I suspect Psy because how strong he is


Honestly, psy's anecdotal statistics have been bothering me quite a bit. They don't really help anything and only serve to ratchet up the paranoia.

I'll mention to that I voted for Ratty not because of a bandwagon but because to alleviate gourds claim of working together. It's still something I might do because of like to sway gourd.


So wait, you voted Ratty to draw attention away from another player's observations? Oh, and if the heat continues, you might resume your vote on Ratty! That's worth a cancel and a relynch.

I don't buy IF being scum. I doubt he could fake those shenanigans at the end of d1

Why are you so certain that ratty will flip town, piano?


Because we know when he's scum. His behaviors are consistent. And some of my feeling may be sentiment. Honestly, every single game, people have it in for him, and every single time he's flipped town. Seriously Gourd, look at the last time he played scum, the Isrieri's Phoenix Wright Mafia, and look at every other time since. Can you honestly say that he's acting strange this game?

Maybe. Maybe. I won't say you're wrong, but I will say I feel differently. I do recall that you felt differently when Xoe said he couldn't role claim because he was just regular town. You put your vote right on IF. So did I. Then Psy forced a coin flip, even also seeming to have been convinced that Xoe was town. That really bugs me.

Maybe he was infected? The thing about this game is we kind of have to play it day by day. >.<

I am beginning to suspect IF less however, even if I didn't appreciate him trying to "sway" me earlier.

well, yeah. that was before IF posted the stuff I was referring to. I actually thought that he was posting all that stuff after he had been hammered so, I just bounced

Can you quote the relevant psy stuff

Here's one by psy.

https://rpgmaker.net/forums/topics/20854/?post=745381#post745381

Here's the other. He's ratcheting the number for you up because he considers that he might have been one of the targeted. It's a little presumptuous, but it doesn't really read as scummy.

Then here's his votes:

So, rereading his vote, he seems unsure that either of them are mafia or town. So he forces a coin flip.

He could force a coin flio because he suspected that xoe and myself were town so it didn't really matter either way. A townie was going to die.

and sorry, gourd. Not my intention to disrespect you. I only wanted to show that your claims werent true. If piano wasn't so much on my nuts I wouldn't have changed my vote. I just wanted to point out that pianos focus has been on me and partly xoe, both who had been made clear as town.
No, you're fine. I only disliked it because it seemed like something scum would do, that is, vote for someone in the hopes of gaining support from another person.

It's becoming increasingly clear to me that you weren't trying to be conniving. I'm knocking myself a little, because I said your vote doesn't prove anything, but the whole situation seems very honest so I'm having hard time NOT being swayed by it. XD

At that point it was obvious to me that both Xoe and IF were town. I figured there was a tiny tiny tiny chance Xoe was mafia that didn't know the rules very well, and wouldn't have known to role-claim to save their skin. I also found it super weird that Kloe was gushing about how they were 100% useful and at the time I was also a little suspicious of Kloe, even if she's vindicated in retrospect.

I still have no idea why you think IF is anything other than bad town though. We can't afford to waste a lynch on bad town at this point.


@IF If Piano's mafia, then I'm guessing he was infected during the night. Worry about the seed mafia first.

I'm not voting for anyone at this point because I'm worried mafia will force a hammer really quickly if 2-3 town happen to leave their vote on the same person.

That's one way of looking at it.

This makes sense to me, even though that's not exactly a rule. It's an understanding of psychology that comes with observing other players.

I still have no idea why you think IF is anything other than bad town though.


Honestly, I'm not sure now. His desperate pleas are starting to look town, but I do feel sure about Ratty.

Fair enough. #cancel

Hang on a second, if you think I'm scum, then this is not the course of action to take. There are currently three scum and nine players.

A) We lynch town, mafia infects, bringing us to a ratio of 4:4. All bets are now on the serial killer. If he misses, or doesn't kill, town loses.

B) We lynch town, mafia night kills, bringing the ratio to 3:3. All bets are now on the serial killer. If he misses, or doesn't kill, town loses.

C) We lynch scum, mafia night kills, bringing the ratio 4:2. Serial killer still has breathing room.

D) We lynch scum, mafia infects, bringing the ratio to 5:2. Serial killer still has breathing room.

Obviously, if you think you have scum, wasting your time hunting for someone else is going to be detrimental to town.

I'm not voting for anyone at this point because I'm worried mafia will force a hammer really quickly if 2-3 town happen to leave their vote on the same person.


You mean like...RATTY!

Haha, no, I don't think you're mafia, I think there's like a 1/3 or somewhere around there shot of your being mafia. But I'd rather aim at someone who had a good chance of being scum on day 1 because that should theoretically be more likely that killing off whoever the mafia infected. We have a bit more info about who was likely to have been infected, but I can't rule out the seed mafia were clever and decided to infect some random quiet player.

author=pianotm

Yeah I do mean like Ratty but the fact that other people are suspicious of him makes me /less/ suspicious of him, if that makes any sense, because a full half of not-me people are scum.

But anyway, my biggest worry this point used to be that CAVE would get infected and have a voting block, but now it seems it's more dangerous that the infected in general have a voting block. It's gonna make it really hard to get an actual scum-targeting vote through. It'd almost have to be unanimous. But I think at least if we get a vote that breaks down 4/3/1 or something and targets town, serial killer will have a good shot.

Vigilante has a shot too outside of lynching or mafia kills. I just don't put too much stock in them after killing Kloe.
I wonder if Frogge is scum. There was a strange moment where he said he was "trying" to look scummy yesterday which does town no favors.

Frogge, what are you thinking about today? As of right now, ratty seems like a good lynch, but it's pretty open rn.

I'm pretty convinced by IF at this point, but it's a little frustrating that there will likely be a townie - mafia. Makes scum-hunting difficult!

Frogge has been suspicious. But they just really haven't said much in the grand scheme of things.

And im sure just like Blob they could be doing whatever else although keeping quiet is a good tactic while you arent the focus.

So let's see what Frogge says! Convince us!
@Piano Upon researching this PW mafia game, I wasn't really convinced. Ratty was just pretty unhelpful/echoed others opinions while making jokes from the sidelines. The only difference here is... less jokes? The differences in his playstyle could easily be a ruse either way.

I don't know about Blob. He doesn't post much but he could very well be busy playing Dark Souls 2.

Frogge has definitely been acting strange with his contradictory behavior, but in the games I've played so far, almost all mafia is a bit more careful than that. That's kind of a meta reason on my end, though.

I'm not sure on Ratty, either, but you know me, I'm biased. :)
