ElfQuest Mafia - Game Thread

[Uselesstwit]

wow, i missed a fun day, sorry about that but i was out having fun. I'll catch up in the morning if i'm still alive.

[Bolero]

Hey guys. Unexpected bonus alone time with the computer this afternoon. What's happening?

Oh right, it's night time - nothing much.

Bummer about DP.

So my thoughts at the moment are as follows: Who was suggesting DP? How did we kickstart that bandwagon? Were we tricked into the suspicions, or was it an honest mistake? Who was fueling the fire? Who was fanning the flames? Etc, etc.

Also, did I misread it, or did Denny warn strenuously against lynching DP, then turn round and join the BW anyway? If that's what happened, does it mean anything other than that Denny's as lost and grabbing at straws as the rest of us?

Or maybe these questions are useless, and I'm focusing on the wrong things.

[Magicziggy]

DP was an agreed choice for the lynch. No one objected strongly although scum would have been relieved.

The interesting thing is that now we have no way of verifying Irre's or UT's story so far. Bummer.

... Apart from the fact that Azathoth verified Irre's story about receiving the blade, after Irre had verified UT's claim that she was not an elf.

That's a whole chain of lies that would be hard to sustain, because they'll crumble pretty quick once day breaks tonight.

Or am I missing something diva?

I have seen them be on different scum teams and play off of each other before. All that has been really verified is that Irre is an independent through Aza's gift.

I am just saying be cautious with those two, that is all. They are both really, really good players. UT has the ability to give an Academy Award winning scum performance.

I don't care what anybody says, we don't have a lot to go on in determining who is scum. Gonzo was lynched because of his drive-by posting style and the same criteria was applied to Don't Panic and one was scum and one wasn't.

The only person who is still firmly on my radar is Char Lou and that is only because she talked a bunch of smack pre-game and now seems hardly to be found (I have an odd liking for her). But it seems to me that at least one scum is very active and is probably spreading a series of disinformation or false leads.

The only person who is 100% cleared in my mind is, ironically, Zigmen. His role PM said pretty much the same as mine. Second is MZ, who is doing a really good job, IMO and then Feck. Everyone else has different degrees.

Anyway, I expect to either get knifed tonight or lynched soon. I just hope that somebody remembers what I said about Zigmen so at least one more person will be cleared as town.

Oh! I think Praying is scummy as hell. If they don't get the knife in the night round, they should be lynched in the day round.

[divagreen]

Oh and Aza? I feel bad about Don't Panic because I am the one that led the lynching against them. I feel bad when any innocent gets lynched, but as I said, he did not seem to be too invested.

I don't think that it is a scum tell, but party on with that line of reasoning.

[Magicziggy]

UT has claimed seer. Unless someone is counterclaiming, it's as good as cleared in my book.

Irre landed in the worst spot as an indy....as mayor. And she was viewed. We can wifom that. Either she's telling the truth or she has implicated Aza in the scum team with her and it's two for one. I'd go with the notion that she's telling the truth.

[Magicziggy]

According to Aza, Praying will be his target tonight. If she survives, then she should be lynched.

That is assuming that this game even has a seer, which I did not find in original game outline.

But I trust your experience and your judgment MZ. You lead and I will follow.

[Magicziggy]

Diva, what is it about Charlou? She often is very quiet for days 1 and 2 even as town. This of course is good cover for scum Charlou. But what in particular has aroused your suspicion?

Well there is no pre-game list of specials. Traditionally there is a seer, but there need not be. However to claim a role that is normally there is fraught with the danger of the real special calling your bluff.

[Athene]

Interesting. I just dropped in to let you all know not to expect me online until fairly late on. Weekends are typically not great for me, Sundays especially so.

[divagreen]

MZ, I would not know that she was often quiet on days 1 and 2, now would I? My reasoning is probably as far off the mark as it was for DP. It is only because she was very aggressive in pre-game talk and has suddenly turned meek. That is all my reasoning is based on.

[Magicziggy]

Incidentally, Praying was viewing the thread when I asked her those questions.
For some time I might add. No response.

crosspost diva

I agree that you wouldn;t know player habits. You should ask and comment on the things that standout for you.
Charlou is very hard to read although I haven;t seen her scum game in a while. As town she is very inciteful. That's what I go by.
