FRC Mafia Game 7

[EricKline]

$20 says mafia will try and vote me out today

[EricKline]

But on the other hand, now that I said that they probably won’t lol.

/vote @Squirrel2412

[DRandhawa]

/vote @Squirrel2412

Ugh. So close to saving it last night. One of us is going to die today for sure @EricKline. I doctored you last night successfully.

[EricH]

Hey, Kline. What you got on the squirrel?

[TheFlash]

I agree… I thought he defended himself?

[Shelby_Lamp]

Yeah I really don’t see anything but as I said before i could have missed something.

[TheFlash]

Note that I have no qualms about requesting mafia to kill me in games where I’m the mafia (see M6). The reason that I have not been doing so this game lies in the reasoning behind this strategy.

• The goal of this strategy is to get the mafia not to attack me - if somebody requests to be killed, the mafia often will avoid them
• On the other hand, a secondary goal is to bait the mafia into attacking me while I’m jailed/protected.

But there is a major problem this game: The strongman modifier.

ash4fun:

Strongman

If you perform a kill, you have immunity against this action being manipulated with or protected against.

There is no guarantee that the Mafia will have a player with this modifier, but if they do, it completely negates my strategy.

• Nothing can stop their kills, so they would be less cautious about attacking me
• Additionally, baiting them into attacking me whilst protected does absolutely nothing

On a side note, I can provide reasoning/explanations/excuses for my recent inactivity if you want, but I doubt that the actual content of the reasoning/explanation/excuse would affect you either way.

this was his defense for not telling the mafia to kill him as he usually does… if i am correct this is why @erickline was sus of him?

[TheFlash]

Here is what went down between @EricKline and @Squirrel2412 after @Squirrel2412’s defense

so, looking at recent developments, @Squirrel2412 seems to have a pretty good defense for not acting his normal way… are you still suspicious of him @EricKline?

his defense only makes me feel better about my accusation.

why does it make you more suspicious @EricKline?

Note that I have no qualms about requesting mafia to kill me in games where I’m the mafia (see M6).

You were town traitor. It made sense

Squirrel2412:

On the other hand, a secondary goal is to bait the mafia into attacking me while I’m jailed/protected

The odds of you being jailed or protected any given night is low. It’s not something the mafia takes into account for the vast majority of kills. Quite frankly if I were jailkeeper I wouldn’t see a reason to protect you as of yet.

Squirrel2412:

Nothing can stop their kills, so they would be less cautious about attacking me

Yeah but that applys to anyone. They wouldn’t use it willy nilly on some random town. They are almsot certainly saving it.

i guess that is slightly sus, but i am still not completly convinced…

You’re missing my point: the reasons why I enact my strategy are no longer valid, and therefore I’m no longer using it.

That’s exactly what the mafia would say

[TheFlash]

Nothing can stop their kills, so they would be less cautious about attacking me

Yeah but that applys to anyone. They wouldn’t use it willy nilly on some random town. They are almsot certainly saving it.

This is the only part that i am sus about for @Squirrel2412… everything else about his defense makes sense to me… however, at the same time, the votes today and yesterday for @Squirrel2412 seemed to be backed up by not much evidence at all…

personally, i would like to hear thoughts and evidence from both @Squirrel2412 and @EricKline

[Squirrel2412]

We’re at competition…

For the brief few minutes that I have to respond, I would want to say that decision not to call for the mafia to kill me was a calculated move, and the votes against me don’t seem to have much substance.

[TheFlash]

also maybe some thoughts from @DRandhawa as well as this vote does not have any evidence or reasoning really, while @erickline at least defended his vote in previous days…

[TheFlash]

oh i forgot that you were at competition, sorry… but i do agree with you that their does seem to be low evidence in the votes for you

[JKBear331]

Hello. I am back from the dead to tell you that the terror of the mods, @gellnick, sent me the Killer Rabbit of Caerbannog, which killed me. Protect @Thequackmaster, the duck, from this bunny! Lock it in the crate! @typeusernamehere hid the one thing that can defeat the bunny, also known as @Cattypaws, somewhere. The mods may give Modbias if you find it!

[darth_tabor]

You are dead @JKBear331! This is not the chat for you!

[darth_tabor]

Also gonna do a vote count bc this game is kinda dead rn

[darth_tabor]

Vote Count

• Squirrel2412 (2) - DRandhawa, EricKline

Modbias

• JKBear331 - 15.06 for no particular reason

[Squirrel2412]

/vote @DRandhawa, as he never expressed any suspicion of me (or even mentioned me) before his vote, which I think is a bit odd. From what I could see in reading through his posts, our only interactions were discussing @typeusernamehere and edits.

[typeusernamehere]

This game is deader than my grandmas dog! Seriously people!

[EricKline]

Yeah I’m taking a new approach. I’m done acting as though mafia isn’t in our chat. Towns problem is that we act as though we’re on a team, we’re not.

Yeah, our goal is the same. But there isn’t much cooperation.

I wont be explaining my vote, or my actions unless it adhears to my own plans to kill the maifa.

[Cattypaws]

This chat is kinda dead. Also I bet someone I would do this.

So, how about the weather, eh?
