Ratz Drama Mafia game thread

[Contrapposto]

Actually, I don't (or shouldn't) need to ask whether there is an order of actions in any given mafia game but perhaps you guys do things a little differently. Can someone clarify please?

[Zigmen]

It's down to the wire, and we need results.

I'm the Doc.

N1 Oblivion
N2 Feck
N3 Denny.

Question 1) With 2 kills last night, i would assume my protection of Denny did nothing. Why is he still alive 2 days after outing?

I'm all ears, but I can't help but think that Denny was recruited or was Scum to begin with.

Question 2) We need to discuss possible game design elements. Respawing recruiters? Check. What else can we expect?

Question 3) I can't really blame anyone who has been on me for looking Scummy. I've been trying to lay low to avoid looking like a special, but what about Higgs? She realized I misread the OP and left her vote on me anyway. Does anyone see this as suspicious, or is it just me?

Also Gonzo pings like crazy.

Forgive for outing perhaps too soon, but I really don't trust Denny since he's still alive, and I think we need to know who is who at this point.

[Contrapposto]

Ahhh fuck it. I'm low on patience this evening.
As I mentioned, in my experience there is always an 'order of actions'.
For example: "block", "protect", or "investigate" ( of any type for that matter) always come BEFORE "kill".

Iow, Denny claimed to have investigated UT (Night 2) and DP (Night 3) with a claimed "no result" which aside from the fact that he just so happened to investigate victims on both nights being unlikely I also find it hard to believe that he received no response regarding his views. Shouldn't he still have gotten back a response from the GM? A successful view is a successful view, right?

[Azathoth]

Aza, do you have an order of actions by chance?
If you do not wish to reveal what is is that's cool but do you have one?

Sometimes there is and sometimes the RNG decides. Not telling you which is the case now

[Magicziggy]

I need a sub.
Phone line was taken out last night and am checking in from a local shopping centre.
I don't expect to be back online for 2 days.

three hits, two deaths. (check out the word synchronised.)

Thank you very much everybody who contributed last night btw. That would be you gonzo and um...no one else.

vote Contra for sitting back and watching the lynch and contributing nothing. nada. zilch.

[Zigmen]

In the games I GM he would not have heard back.

[Magicziggy]

I hate saying goodbye in the middle of a game but goodluck town.

that's why I hadn't thrown down a vote yet.

Well there's this thing called "sleep", perhaps you've heard of it. Anyway, I woke up a bit late (15 minutes till nightfall) and didn't get through the three pages that happened sine I had gone to bed the night before. I am on central standard time - U.S.

[Contrapposto]

I will say that if there is a tracker eqivallent in this game then we should definitely have a Watcher as well.
They need to keep an eye on Zigman.
Whoever performs any action on the doc will be seen by the watcher and they can inform us if who it is.

From my experience, I've never been in a game that had a tracker without also having a watcher. I'm sure it's possible but unlikely, imo. I also think it's likely since we have multiple factions.

[Contrapposto]

Regarding MZ's three hits; two deaths analysis, I agree.
The question is the deaths. Are they SK it a 'vig'. Adem's death makes no sense fir a SK or scum. Town was already becoming suspicious of him so he would only have been perceived a good choice by a 'vig'. My only concern is whether or not the 'vig' has changed over to SK based on two inaccurate kills. Sometimes they do, sometimes not.

emphasis added.

Should read: "Are they SK or a vig"

Sorry guys, this game hasn't been coinciding well with RL.


So,
1.Zigmen
5. Gonzo
7. Higgs
9. Mantis
11. DennyB
14. Nellikin
15. M
16. Magicziggy
17. Jerome da Gnome
18. Charlou/Contra

Jerome started the bw on oblivion. For now, I'm assuming that he might be town. 'Course there is the option that he bussed her. It be interesting to hear what spawned that decision, Jerome - for you to pick her out?

MacigZiggy does seem very townish.

Denny & Zig are outted.

Ob directed a lof of focus on higgs.

Nell, Contra, M, and Gonzo are questions in my mind.
Gonzo was viewed as innocent... but, he could be the don, or had been recruited.


There's probably 1 recruited cult. 2 scum. And one either SK or vig.

Contra seems to be frustrated a lot... town frustration?

vote M

[Gonzo]

I agree that a mass claim could help us suss out scum now that we need it most, this isn't looking good for the town. I am tattchu a vanilla townie.

A few things are bothering me:
- I have trouble believing DennyB's claim to have targeted both Uselesstwit and Don't Panic on the same night they were each killed. The likelihood of such a coincidence just does not convince me. It leads me to believe he is either a scum or the serial killer - or a third option that he is a cultist and the actual Seer was also recruited and aligned with him.
- Players who haven't claimed yet. That's Higgs, Mantis, MagicZiggy, M, and Contra. We need to discuss if a mass claim is appropriate - I'd like to hear opinions on this.
- Not sure if we ever got a name to go with Jerome's claim, but that could be slipping my memory.

[Gonzo]

Here's where we are on claims so far.

DennyB - claimed Seer
Zigmen - claimed doctor
Nellikin - claimed vanilla
Gonzo – claimed vanilla
Jerome - claimed vanilla
Contra - ?
Higgs - ?
M - ?
Mantis - ?
Magicziggy - ?

If anyone can make a counter claim to DennyB or Zigmen - do it now.
