Generic Old West Mafia (Mafia Wins)

[psychotix5000]

EBWOP: Disregard last post. Full recap post shortly.

[psychotix5000]

Let's see here:

In this post Harry Lockhart names RX-78-2, Real Folk Bruce, and Ravishing One as possible mafia.

Here Ravishing One deflects Harry's suspicion onto Real Folk Bruce without defending himself as town. Also, says he's suspicious of TTS but gives no reason as to why, "just a hunch."

Here RX-78-2 fails to defend himself and calls Harry Mafia with no reasoning behind it.

Here Ravishing One votes TTS with NO EVIDENCE whatsoever, just "acting on his hunch." TTS responds in the following post stating that it's because TTS pointed out that Ravishing One might have been starting a bandwagon on Tea & Crumpets. Ravishing One refutes that in the following post, saying it's just a "gut instinct." What's with constantly saying that?

Here, Harry defends Ravishing One stating that he's posted valid points on other's suspicious behavior. What points? Also, he FOS' RX for denying he's mafia. Can't really fault him for that. In the next post, vote count is 3 for Jazzman (by his own poor play) and 1 for TTS (Ravishing One's "gut instinct" vote).

Here RX says that he is trusting no one (not really a bad idea in theory) but fails to defend himself, saying "there is nothing he can do to convince us" that he's not mafia. Sounds very suspicious to me. Why wouldn't a townie attempt to prove their innocence?

Here Real Folk Bruce pops in to simply vote for Jazzman and push him one vote closer to the noose.

Here RX says that defending yourself draws suspicion. What? That makes no sense.

Here Harry gets offed and is revealed as the Cop. This makes it very likely one of the three he questioned earlier is Mafia. They didn't like getting fingered and the good Marshall got pumped full of lead.

Here Daveman picks up on the fact that one of Harry's three suspects could be mafia and votes RX to apply pressure.

Here MEM votes RX, citing his suspicious activity as his reason for voting, putting 2 votes on RX. In the next post, D2 decides to wait until hearing from all 3 suspects.

Here Ravishing One pushes his "gut instinct" and votes TTS, again with no evidence. What gives RO? Next post RX responds to pressure by simply stating an FOS on Dom (citing his pushing for a No Lynch day 1). Again fails to defend himself.

Here D2 calls RX on his lack of defending himself and pointing the finger at others. Daveman agrees in the following post and states that he needs all three suspects to explain themselves.

Here Ravishing One says he's been consistent with his votes and FoS. Yes, he's beeen consistently voting for TTS with no reasoning. And the only FoS he provided was on Real Folk Bruce back on page8 with no reasoning behind it. In the next post dom votes Real Folk Bruce to prod him into talking and points out that Harry outed himself as a power role.

Also, D2 questions RX's actions and theorizes that RX is merely trying to shift attention to others instead of trying to come up with a believable defense. RX counters by saying that he gave his opinions by going over what everyone else is saying, yet he never provided insight or what tipped him off to point the finger the way he did. Daveman is very suspicious of RX's "can't fault me for targeting non-mafia" line.


After going through the latest goings on and rereading the entire thread I have two equal suspects for mafia. However, I'm going to place my vote on the one whose gameplay has me worried the most.

Vote: Ravishing One

"Gut instinct" is not rationale for voting for someone in this game. Claiming FoS's that you did not elaborate on to deflect attention off you is very scummy.

Note: RX, you're my other suspect as mafia. You'd better explain yourself quick.

[Ass Dan]

In my defence, defending oneself is a difficult balance to hold. If I give too little information, I look suspicious. However, look at the other side of the coin: if someone puts forth so much effort to not look suspicious, do they not look like they are trying to cover up something?

As for my explaination, I felt as though Harry was throwing out names for no reason. If someone just threw out a name for no reason, it wouldn't be outside of reason to suspect them.

There is PLENTY of room for gut instinct in this game. I didn't feel the need to elobrate my FoS's because it the same reason I'm being accused.

I agree that gut instincts are useful in a game like this, but one usually feels that way after reading a specific post. Can you point to when you first had this feeling, or is it more a case of "I saw this name in the player list and I think he's scum"?

Honestly, I don't see where you're coming from. First you posted this:

I'm waiting to see if anyone else posts... because I have a feeling that any of the following may be mafia...

RX-78-2.
Real Folk Bruce.
Ravishing One.

Prove me wrong, guys. Prove me wrong.

I'm hurt

Seriously though, Real Folk Bruce gets a FoS for sure. I am a little suspicions at TTS, but just a general hunch, nothing for sure.

Then this:

Since no one is really making a move, I am going to act on my hunch and

VOTE TTS

Something is striking me that he is guilty.

The odd thing is, neither Real Folk Bruce nor TTS posted in the 27 hours between your posts, so it's not as if RFB did anything to deserve his FoS being downgraded or TTS did something especially scummy to warrant a vote.

If Harry really was trying to tell us that he investigated and discovered that one of those three was Mafia, I'm inclined to believe he was talking about RX-78-2 as he continued his "hunch" with a strong FoS and he somewhat defended Ravishing One. However, after looking deeper into his vote for TTS, I'm nowhere near confident in declaring RO a townie.

[Ravishing One]

On TTS, being 1000% honest, I saw his name and and "scummy" jumped out at me. RFB not posting in 27 hours is what got the FoS. He hasn't really done anything to upgrade it yet, so I jumped on a "hunch" which, I also admit, was a little hasty, but it did and still does feel like the right descision.

[TOK Is the Target Demo]

Well, thanks to Bundy for re-entering and putting the cases for both RO and RX down. I am going to VOTE:RX-78-2., based on his bizzare behaviour, basing his strategy on a f***ing reality show, and Harry's actions.

Where does this leave us voting wise?

[The Dom]

Figured I would help Jag out a bit and make sure we know where we stand.

RX-78-2: 2 (Mr. Emoticon man, TF Fan, theotherkevin)
Real Folk Bruce: 1 (dom)
Ravishing One: 1 (Al Bundy)

with 12 alive takes 7 to lynch

Welcome back Bundy, glad to see you really became active with your comeback. I really have nothing else to add right now other than the fact that Bruce has still yet to actually post anything in a while as have a group of others. we really need to pick up activity in this game people unless of course the "inactive" or quiet ones are our mafia and are just watching us run around.

I also voted for RX.

I'd also like to reiterate that the lurkers need to do something. Mod, are some prods in order?

[The Dom]

completely overlooked that Dave.

I know Jag said he won't be home till tomorrow so I am pretty sure he will prod people I'm sure he'll use a really pointy stick with feces as well

[Mr. Emoticon Man, TF Fan]

Votes made on gut instinct alone make me nervous. On the one hand, it could be someone with a power trying to subtly apply pressure to someone they know is scum, like a Cop trying to finger someone in the Mafia without doing too much to show that they're the Cop. On the other, though, it could be Mafia trying to stay active in a game without actually participating too much or helping to decide key issues like whether or not a heavily suspected player is Mafia or noPr

Now, I ain't no fancy-smancy po-lice officer or nothin, but I too have my own short list of peoples I'm lookin at.

((Wow...okay, looking at that last sentence, I am NOT typing in any type of character again! My brain hurts))

1) RX - We've all seen the evidence against you, and your piss poor (for lack of a better term) attempts to clear your name.
2) Al Bundy - There's been something about you that hasn't sat right with me since day one. I don't know if it's the way you eat your steak or the way you kill fellow town folk, but something doesn't sit right with me. (NOTE: THE PREVIOUS ANALYSIS IS BASED ON TIM AND AL, THE CHARACTER BEFORE AL BUNDY TOOK OVER)
3) Ravishing One - "Gut instinct" isn't really something I can comment on too much, given my previous analysis, HOWEVER, it hasn't really led to a vote. Sure, there was the Day 1 Throw-A-Vote-Out-A-Thon. But now that we're in the serious nature of the game, I haven't let PURE "gut instinct" lead me to a vote.

Now, with the evidence given above, and my own analysis I've been doing in my own Batcave (shut up...i have black drapes over my windows...it's dark in here), I've come to the conclusion that

VOTE: RX-78-2

is our best bet for this round. If we're wrong, it will REALLY depend on who gets offed next as to who to go after. For myself, Ravishing and Bundy could hold a grudge. Daveman has Ravishing and RFB to worry about. Bundy...well shit, he's almost pissed off the entire Mafia with his thesis paper on "Who To Kill Next?" posted above.

Things are going to get interesting. I'm almost sure of it.

[Ass Dan]

I voted for dom.

[The Dom]

I just read through all the posts in this day phase and there is no vote from you.

[Ass Dan]

Oh, my bad.

[Deleted]

For the record I haven't posted in here because I keep forgetting this is going on

But after read through this I'm throwing down a vote
VOTE:Real Folk Bruce
He's the only one left who has done nothing

[The Dom]

RX-78-2: 4 (Daveman,Mr. Emoticon man, theotherkevin, D-Lirious-2)
Real Folk Bruce: 2 (dom, TTS)
Ravishing One: 1 (Al Bundy)

with 12 alive takes 7 to lynch

This was very well thought out, though I have an issue with point #2. To be fair, I don't know Tim and Al's playstyle and why he did the things he did previously; I don't really care. All I know is I was asked to jump in the game and kill some mafia and that's what I aim to do. Also, again in the interest of fairness, you had it out for Tim and Al since before the game even began and roles were handed out, so your opinion on his play may be skewed.

RX, RO, and RFB are really bugging me right now, particularly RFBs sliding under the radar. Mod, can we PLEASE get a prod on him?

Perfectly understandable. I'm just saying, I have a feeling about the character. Had he still been in the game, it would have been his name there. The reason it's you is because it's now you wearing his shoes. Not trying to sound like a conspiracy theorist or anything. Make sense? Or something, damn I'm tired.
