Mafia 1016: America's Past-Crime [HIDDEN]

[Vecna]

Jose Canseco once said “Are we to say that any individual who's on steroids that has an angry moment is due to steroids? What about the individual who gets angry and kills someone who's not on steroids? What do we blame it on now?” He also said “My motive, and I will make it clear and look you in the eyes, is to attack major league baseball. That's my motive.” With these nuggets of wisdom in mind, the players surround Damo, his constant discussions of mathematics making them suspect that he’s really a scrawny nerd, capable of playing professional sports only thanks to banned substances. He screams, loudly proclaiming his innocence, while glancing desperately around the room looking for his bat in the hopes of defending himself. The other players begin swinging, and in moments he’s lying cold on the floor.

The dirty work done, the players begin to collect themselves and notice brainbomb is missing. The players find his Nikia Brick™ on the floor, with two unread text messages. The first is from his good friend Jose Canseco, and it reads “been playing for 30 years .love strip poker i cheat and win”. The second is from a blocked number, and reads simply “YES”. Someone begins looking through his phone to examine further and discovers that he’s blown through his 200 free texts for the month asking all of his contacts if any of the mafia voted for Jamie today. This madness was somewhat typical for him, but the players begin to suspect that his absence has little to do with strip poker, and that they’ll never see him again.

DAMO666 has died. He was TOM GLAVINE, a VANILLA TOWNIE.

BRAINBOMB has died. He was GEORGE MITCHELL, the TOWN QUESTION ASKER. He asked: "have any mafia voted for Jamiet99uk today?" The answer is YES.

Day 2 has begun. You may now post.

There is a mafia between vecna, bona and kgray then.

Are you saying you think celaph and Durga are town?

There is a mafia between vecna, bona and kgray then.

Incorrect.

Are you saying you think Vecna and kgray are town?

Well idk. That's not the full list of Jamie voters.

Also there could be any amount of mafia in the group.

OK, I see what you were saying.

Ultra weak. Wish this wagon had actually gone through yesterday

Maniac’s blog April 3rd 2003

So we lost two dear friends last night. BB ‘The King’ and Damo ‘The Devil’ Davis. I’m heartbroken, two fine talent men, great player and great men too. Our thoughts and prayers go out to their friends, family, team mates and fans who are in mourning this morning. But we’ve lost something more than two fine men. Bass-ball died a little more last night too. This cancerous cocktail of drugs and cheating just added murder to its rap-sheet. We must work in unison to cut out this cancer.

BB’s phone has given us a clue to who where one or more of the druggies are hiding. Bone, Celaph, Durga, Kgray and Vecna are now the pool with the most attention. Whilst we should concentrate on this pool let’s not forget this reaction to the news that two fine men lost their lives.

RIP brain, and RIP damo

Does anyone see any crumbs from brain?

Was he expecting the mafia to say ‘yeah we notice he coded he was on to us therefore we killed him’?

It looks like dargorygel saw a crumb and helped kill BB the King and his ego is really saying ‘did anyone ELSE see a crumb, aren’t I clever’.

If we voted outside the list dargorygel would get my vote.

Yeah, im townlocking Maniac super hard

[Vecna]

Ultimately I think bb's question says very little about the 5 of us that were voting Jamie. We're sitting at 8 town 3 scum giving us two miskills before kilo. I agree with lfischl's comment that scum is unlikely to kill any of us. That is especially true as they have to pick their kill before we finalize the dk and so they can't respond well to us DK'ing scum assuming the wagons are close.

I think the more useful implications are around Jamie. The fact that scum was on his wagon makes him more likely to be town. If someone on that wagon was bussing my gut would be kgray given how she left it for Damo.

Its interesting that Celaph is the only person (besides me) that has made any mention of Jamiet potentially being bussed

[Vecna]

Pretty sure ill only be voting Celaph or Durga today. One of those people is easy to read when town.

##vote Durga

This vote stays unless you obvtown today

[rdrivera2005]

@rdr can you talk a bit more about your thought process in the last hour of the day?

With roughly an hour to go you voted Damo. The only comment you made previously regarding him is that you thought Damo was laying low. Is that why you voted him? Your only comments after catching up expressed concern with the way that the Damo wagon formed yet you left your vote there seemingly content.

With roughly 4 minutes to go you expressed in interest in moving your vote to from Damo to Bozo if others were interested too. Where did that desire for a bozo wagon come from? He was a viable wagon an hour before EoD when you first voted Damo. He was still viable though less so when you commented about the formation of Damo's wagon. And he had 3 votes on him for over 20 minutes before you expressed interest in voting him.

You summarized it pretty well. I had to spend time (help with homework, make dinner, play a board game, etc) with family, so I didn't check the game for around 3 hours. I was 5 or 6 pages behind and I was the only non voter. I checked the bot and wagons are Durga, Bozo and Damo. On the 3 I decide to vote Damo more as a placeholder while I catch up.

After catching up I thought Damo's reaction to pressure was towny and also found weird how Bozo wagon just died with both Vecna and Bona jumping to Damo as soon as I voted. I told I might move to Bozo to see if Vecna and Bona were willing to do the same. They just ignored it.

##vote Bona

##vote Bona

Just to clarify, I am not voting Vecna because he wasn't online.

[Vecna]

Not really sure why you were counting on me to change my vote, when I stated very clearly I was off to bed.

[Jamiet99uk]

Hello, Fellow Townies, and good morning.

I see that Damo and Brainbomb are dead. I mourn the passing of both. Fine fellows. R to the I to the P.

[Jamiet99uk]

I see from the Bot (haven't fully caught up yet) that Brainbomb was the Question Asker and so we have at least 1 guaranteed scum in:

Bonatogether
Celaph
Durga
Kgray
Vecna

So ##VOTE DURGA until I catch up.

[Jamiet99uk]

Doing a catch-up read from EoD1 now.

You haven’t caught up but list the pool in the same order that Bona did. I know it’s alphabetical, but why not list them in the order they voted if you had used the bot. I think I have to remove your Jamie Trustworthy tag.

[Maniac]

We don’t have the luxury of time here. Game is too short to leave Durga alive. She is in the suspect pool and her flip will provide info either way. Info we badly need.

##vote Durga

I looked at the voting history grid on the bot, from left to right.

[Maniac]

Also well done BB The King for asking the question. I know you’ve taken slack for it but if the answer had of been ‘NO’ you would’ve given us five clears and a massive advantage. People criticising you are result oriented.

[Jamiet99uk]

How else would you use the Bot to compile that list differently, Maniac?

I'm confused.

[Jamiet99uk]

To be entirely clear, I brought up the "Day 1" page, which contains a historical Vote Tracker, and then I looked at the columns in that tracker, from left to right, noting each one which contained a Jamie vote. The columns are in alphabetical order on the Bot, therefore my list is also in alphabetical order.

So I've no idea what Maniac is on about.

[Jamiet99uk]

(Listing them in the order they voted would not be any easier and would surely actually take longer as I'd need to edit out repeat voters. Again, I don't know what Maniac is on about).

Two observations. If you are catching up from EOD why are you responding to me?

My natural response was to look down the ‘move’ column to see who had voted for you. Same way I use the bot when doing VCA. Doing it your way means scanning down every column until you reach your name. Nothing wrong with that I suppose, I just didn’t think of it.

Why rule out Durga and Celaph?

Well idk. That's not the full list of Jamie voters.

True, but we should vote out one of those 5 this turn.

If you knew there was a list of 5, why only list three?

[Jamiet99uk]

If you are catching up from EOD why are you responding to me?

I'm doing both. I have two tabs open. I don't want to miss any new news, whilst I catch up.
