Hitman: Blood Money Mafia - A Dance With The Devil

[Contrapposto]

Contra, I see you lurking. Any thoughts?

Diva, I am continually logged in on my windows phone so I can see how it appears I'm lurking. I just caught up with everything.
Sorry I was out so long. I work as a contractor during the summers and have been really busy the last couple days with that. Had dinner with friends last night where Demi took my phone away because I "was being rude" by trying to read the thread under the table.

More to follow regarding what I have read but, in regards discussions involving understanding the game mechanics, I am very familiar with the game and the level which this game is based on. I dunno. Martinez, Vaanya, and Maynor are pretty f---ed up people - not exactly town role models in the slightest but then again neither was 47. He was more of an anti-hero if anything. There is something which has been bothering me though. Maynor was one of two assassins which 47 had to take out in the game in addition to Martinez and Vaanya. The other was a really crazy assassin dressed in a white bikini with angel wings. She was at the party posing as a lounge singer...a really bad one at that. She was more of a rogue than Maynor. She liked to kill her victims with her stiletto blades. I'm not certain as to why she was omitted from the flavor. She could have been left out of this simply on mechanics but I wouldn't be surprised if someone is this character. Possibly an SK or something (which makes no sense, now that I think of it, because we only had one death last night). The reason I speculate on this is because the only two people in the Agency that were mentioned through the entire game were 47 and Diana yet 4 people were not accounted for in the OP regarding the guests, waiter, etc. I suppose G could have added a couple of goons or something but I'm not sure because he really likes flavor and tries to stay close to the story - with minor modifications for mechanics sake.
Ultimately, I think that the Agency is scum and the Franchise is town. It's not uncommon for a game to have the heroes or anti-heroes as scum.

Wow. Seems we are not all on the same page regarding what is what - judging by the shizzle "Is vs Is Not Franchise" thing.
Can you clarify again Mattshizzle?

[divagreen]

So Contra, what do you think of Ob at this point?

[Zigmen]

Matt, do you mean to tell me that you are not Franchise?

Yes I am and it specifies town.

Did I read this wrong?

[oblivion]

I read it as "yes I am franchise"

but it is open to interpretation.

[divagreen]

Matt, do you mean to tell me that you are not Franchise?

Yes I am and it specifies town.

Did I read this wrong?

I read it as, "Yes I am Franchise and it specifies town".

But Matt really should clarify.

Attending the party by invitation are
Guests (5)
Waiters (1)
VIP (2)
Body Guards (2)
Officers (2)

Can you confirm that this is correct

Yeah, that is correct. There is one less waiter and no other changes.

So Contra, what do you think of Ob at this point?

99% sure that she is town based on my past games with her and watching her from a GM's standpoint.
She diverted from you and voted scum at the end of day 1. I don't see a reason for her to bus a scum buddy so early - especially when their name isn't JEROME.
I also know that was unintentional in GitS. She didn't wan't to bus JEROME but got caught where she couldn't jump off with good reason in the GitS Mafia Game and expressed these things in the writboard. Scum were counting on JEROME to get his safe claim right but he didn't. So, she is probably town because I don't see her doing that again in the next game. Also this was a last minute jump on charlou with others - having no real pressure to do so. Those are my thoughts.

And here's Charlou's death announcement:

charlou was Diana (VIP) - ICA - Investigator - View Disguise killed by The Franchise at the ICA.

Yet the Posted amount of VIPs has not changed.

My Guess is that 17 players have 13 "jobs." I take it to mean that the listed Jobs are held by Town.

The remaining 4 players seem to also have Jobs, but are not on the master list.

Conclusion: Charlou was a Scum special.

Thoughts?

I'm talking about the part that gib made purple.

surely ratz has a that's what she said smiley if anywhere does

I'm up to here in the catching up process, but I had to

[divagreen]

##unvote Oblivion##

I am still not convinced of her. But I will let it slide for now.

[oblivion]

Hi guys. I did read the pm yesterday and shortly after reading it my wife and I went out and didn't get home until after 1am. I'm here now.

hey ksen...1 post on day 2 after totally missing day 1 is kinda meh, you know?

[irretating]

amok is town too imo

agree. and I think diva and shizzle are town. getting a townie vibe from UT but it's too soon to tell.

irre's clueless post about why is the bandwagon on me pinged like a mofo. I think she knows how I'm going to flip.

MZ is also pouring on the cluelessness a bit.

I'm up to here on my catch up. Pot..kettle... oblivion? Jesus, you were/are confused, why shouldn't I be? At least ob, I've played a little bit more attention than you have, in a way that matters.

I just read my role PM again, and yes I'm the Franchise. It doesn't take an Einstein to realise why some people did not pay that much attention. My read thus far is that linus is special hunting.

[irretating]

the diva to charlou jump was totally u and me ob iirc

I'm up to here. I gotz spreadsheetz.

You jumped to charlou, then ob. Linus put a vote on DP/MZ, then DP/MZ put a vote on charlou. Help?

[irretating]

contra, I'm just up to reading your opus. Could you break it out into more paragraphs, please? It's dense and hard to read (the text, not you)
