Mafia 46 - Ace Attorney - GAME THREAD

[Durga]

or maybe we're at the part where xorxes has told his team to vote him for cred

[ChippeRock]

Are we just going to straight up ignore that Balki claims to have been BA, than says "Ha, it's just a prank bro, I'm not actually BA"? I understand the town motivations of this and the BA motivations of doing this - but I completely don't understand the town motivations with the Neph claim and if Balki doesn't prove himself to be the Judge tomorrow, he needs to be lynched.

I hard claim not judge.

Lynch me bro. Just try it.

@Innocent Child

Whoever you are, please reveal yourself tonight or during the next day (your choice, as long as we lynch this scum).

[Durga]

why would you want the IC to claim? i don't understand it. tomorrow will be run by the judge.

[damo666]

I will reluctantly ##vote xorxes

weirdly town reading ND for this, seems a bit too uncalculated to be scum

Agreed. A scum ND wouldn't say 'reluctantly.'

[ChippeRock]

No shit, that's where xorxes' overwhelming majority came from. The last minute switches need to be investigated, and the early votes less so.

[ND]

Well I still feel strongly about ET, but I was pretty sure Xorxes was scum. He had to go. When he is all quiet and not participating much he is usually scum. My meta read on him stood up.

[Balki Bartokomous]

Yeah, great job pushing for the lynch of your scumread Xorxes.

[ChippeRock]

Why?? 1. Prevents him/her from getting NKed. 2. Prevents him/her from being named a lynch candidate by the Judge 3. Either validates Balki or makes his Town claim seem even more unlikely 4. Some other consequence if it's somebody who's already claimed another Town/BA role

[Durga]

I wouldn't call it "easy". Several counterwagons were tried and failed. I townread everyone on the Xorxes wagon except for teacon (self-preservation) and ND. If both teacon and Xorxes are scum this makes sense.

Could also be that Xorxes is a goon or framer or lawyer, so mafia is fine lynching one of their useless members.

Or he was just scumread to hell and even if he's the assassin, it's no longer worth it to defend him. I tend to think that's more likely, and that generally, once scum is in trouble, the relative importance of their role is just overwhelmed by the mafia team's need to remain secret.

Mafia's goon (seretary) is probably their most powerful role. imo.
Annoyingly, I agree with fox's response here.

hmmmmmmmmmmm this is an interesting exchange between teacon and foxy

bc when i read foxy's post i def thought it was weird he picked assassin, who i'm pretty sure is just a goon at this point in charge on nk's

"reluctantly" pretty sure that Xorxes was scum

[Durga]

That quote reminded me... durga is widely townread. By her logic, she should be the next NK and not a PR because she's so widely townread.

seriously? this seems so fake. there's confirmed town with power roles that are more townread than me. because they can/are actually confirmed. come on teacon.

i really don't approve of this kind of weird manipulative shade. but he did this crap last game as town

[ND]

Lol I had the better read on ET. A suspicious individual that no one cares about except me. As long as I am around I am going to force all you freaks to think about him. I'm glad we got Xorxes though. One less scumbag to worry about.

[Durga]

Balki is leading you astray. Mark my words.

i can just picture him sitting in his evil mafia spinny chair and twirling his mustache while he says this

This "better read" of your only occurred to you after the Judge pointed it out to you by naming et one of two lynch candidates and you only solidified your stance on it when he became the only one of those two lynch candidates to not flip town...

Wait, Balki, or Damo? I need to know which one of them has a mustache

[Durga]

Ok, make sense.
If Dalgo was roleblocked, Durga's jailed claim was fake.
I think Durga is town, so, Dalgo wasn't roleblocked.

guys please

"If the Bailiff is targeted by the Hooker’s Roleblock, the Hooker will not know that the roleblock failed."

"ORDER OF NIGHT ACTIONS:

1. Bailiff
2. Hooker
3. Blind Assassin Action (Scout or Kill)"

[Squigs44]

I'm pretty sure I know who the inno child is btw.

[Durga]

like, why did we think he was scum?
or why did he act that way when he was scum?

Both actually I just dont understand it, it doesnt make any sense
Both you are xorxes have been lurking a thousand other people too, yet we settle on xorxes I understand he and you are skilled, but between you and him it was a shot in the dark and I cant believe we shot right

Flav go read the OP where it describes what the secretary does. It scans as a mafia goon, but can post in the mafQT at night. That's insanely powerful for directing scum traffic during day phases. I'm pretty confident that xorx was actually doing quite a lot, but we never saw him here because he was posting in their QT.

Why did we go for xorx today instead of me? That's a good question. Do you, flav, think anyone bussed xorx? I know some people were working pretty hard to start alternate wagons or move people to alternate wagons.

my skin is crawling

[Squigs44]

Okay, it's time for another round of Blind Assassin votes.

I have no idea what Blind Assassin will do, but he should be trying to hit mafia tonight or else he's in trouble. I think it makes sense for us to vote. Vote for who you think is most likely scum, and I would imagine that Blind Assassin will kill scum for us, as he has clearly been trying hard to do from the beginning of time. It's just, ya know, he's blind.

Squigs

Because he is confirmed scum.

Blind Assassin votes:
Squigs (1): Balki

Currently, Squigs is set to be shot at, by a blind man.

Ehh, why not? Let's vote.
