That last post is the best defense he bothers to come up with, and you townies leave him alive.
He's making a mockery of this game, and you leave him alive for it, hoping for some change in behavior that won't come.
I'm done. Don't bother talking to me about this damn game until he's been lynched.
Currently we have a tie vote between Sasaki and Xdeathfire. Voting will continue until the tie is broken.
Vote:xdeathfire
Well I guess my defense of you was rather pointless. Dear God,Quote:

I am innocent and merely voted Sasaki because I didn't feel like spending alot of time trying to analyze someone's behavior and also because I thought GH's relatively long posts against Sasaki were the most convincing argument that I have seen.
Blame Sasaki that seems to work well for people. Atleast you have some merit.Quote:

Day 3
This afternoon’s Gacaca session began earlier in the day than the first two. There were two reasons for this – first, the night’s victims had been discovered quite quickly; and second, the people were growing accustomed to the macabre ritual.
The early start would prove fortunate, for the day’s debate would prove the longest and bitterest yet. The mayor, unfortunately, had no new information to share, and as soon as his brief introductory speech was concluded, the assembly exploded in a frenzy of distrust and paranoia.
Attention was immediately focused on a man who had long been regarded as utterly untrustworthy. Sasaki Kojiro found himself assaulted from every angle, beset by many enemies and defended by few friends.
He tried pleading with them. “Haven’t I stood with you against the Interahamwe again and again?” he cried. But he was met with only stony glares.
“All this time you’ve merely been waiting for a chance to betray us!” they shouted. “Everyone knows the first thing a criminal syndicate would do is to recruit an inside man. We know you; you probably volunteered your services as soon as the opportunity presented itself!”
At last, utterly disgusted, Sasaki threw up his hands. “I’m tired of being the target of your inquisitions!” he shouted. “Everyone has their mind made up about me, it seems. Not two nights ago I was assaulted in my own home by someone – a person who’s probably here right now – who seemed intent on proving me guilty of something. And believe me, it was not a pleasant experience. Why doesn’t that person speak up? I told him everything I know!”
No one responded to Sasaki’s request. However, a few cautiously admitted to having experienced the same treatment. They had not come forward before out of fear. This caused some to reconsider Sasaki’s guilt, though many were not convinced.
Eventually suspicion turned in another direction. Strangely, the new target of the people’s suspicion was one of those who continued to believe in Sasaki’s guilt. Xdeathfire, since the first Gacaca, had seemed nothing but confused. His eyes darted about the crowd as person after person accused him; however, he said very little.
At last the town appeared completely polarized between those who staunchly believed in Sasaki’s guilt and those who considered Xdeathfire more suspicious. Bitter words were exchanged, and some arguments were on the verge of coming to blows. To prevent further loss of life and limb, mayor Rwigema was forced to call for a final vote.
“Will those who consider Sasaki guilty please line up to the left!” he shouted. Immediately several villagers took their stand. “Now those who believe Xdeathfire is guilty stand here on the right!” Another group moved to take position. One group was a bit more numerous, if only slightly.
“Xdeathfire, you stand guilty of murder!” pronounced the mayor. Several men seized him immediately and forced him into the circle. The group supporting Sasaki’s execution emitted loud curses, not hiding their displeasure.
Rwigema ignored them, however. He was fed up with the fighting and was determined to end the night quickly. Reaching into his pocket, he drew out a small revolver and aimed it straight at Xdeathfire. “Do you have anything to say?” he asked.
When Xdeathfire merely shook his head, the mayor fired a single shot which struck Xdeathfire in the temple. He was killed instantly.
Many in the assembly were far from satisfied with the turn of events, however. “We’ve had six people murdered and three executed in three days,” someone complained loudly. “And we may be no closer to bringing the guilty to justice. We must have a better option than this!”
“Very well,” acknowledged Rwigema. “Any suggestions?” But no one had anything to say.
“I have one!” someone shouted. Everyone looked in the direction of the voice. There stood Omanes Alexandropolitis the Idiot, holding the mayor’s revolver. He had a wild, insane look in his eye.
“This town has clearly gone mad!” he yelled. “This entire country – no, this entire world is utterly insane! There’s no escape – save one.” With that he raised the revolver and placed the barrel in his mouth. The mayor rushed at him, but it was too late. A shot rang out, and Omanes’ blood and brains sprayed out into the air.
…
Three individuals had not come to the assembly. They had heard about the murders like everyone else, but justice was hardly a high priority for them. How could it be, when profit was beckoning?
Ignoramus, Motep, and Myrddraal worked as foremen on discovery1’s coffee plantation. As discovery1 had left no family and no will, ownership of the plantation was sure to be disputed. Each of these three, as high-ranking employees, felt they had a legitimate claim. The question was: how to get their rivals out of the way?
Myrddraal was the first to devise a plan. Shortly after discovery1’s death was announced, he made a quick visit to Motep’s office.
“We both knew this day was coming,” he said once the door was shut. “You and I know this business better than anyone. If we share ownership, our profits will skyrocket. All we need is to make sure that fool Ignoramus doesn’t interfere.”
Motep thought for a moment. “I like the sound of that,” he said. “But how will we get him to just give up his claim?”
Myrddraal smiled deviously. “Don’t worry about that. I’ve been thinking of a plan…”
…
A few hours later, Myrddraal and Motep were parked about a half hour’s drive south of Gisenyi. They were standing in a barren field that was pocked with shell holes and debris.
“The RPF came through here when they were driving back the government’s genocidal forces,” Myrddraal pointed out. “They planted mines to supplement their defenses. If we simply relocate a few to an area of the plantation that Ignoramus is sure to visit, well… no one will suspect anything other than a tragic accident.”
Motep smiled. “What are we waiting for?” he asked. “Let’s get to work.”
A couple of hours later, the two had unearthed about five mines. Of course each was handled with the utmost care as it was loaded into their jeep. Soon the pair was headed back to town with their dangerous cargo, loud music blaring. Perhaps they should’ve been more concerned about the mines being jostled in the back of the jeep as it shuddered over the bumpy roads.
At last they reached their destination. Choosing a location, they went to work planting the mines. Motep took a shovel dug the first shallow pit. “Hey bro, toss me a mine!” he called.
Myrddraal, back at the jeep, took the request perhaps a bit too literally. Reaching for the nearest mine, he threw it the few yards to where his partner was standing. Motep stretched out his arms to catch it, but it slipped through his fingers.
“Oh cra-” he began, but his last words were cut off as the mine detonated, filling both him and his partner with shrapnel. He was killed instantly, but Myrddraal was left on the ground, bleeding, gasping, and barely conscious.
The pair had predicted Ignoramus’s movements well. About half an hour later, another jeep pulled up and Ignoramus stepped out.
“Myrddraal? Myrddraal! What happened?!” he cried, running to his fallen coworker. It was then that he noticed the jeep full of mines, the partially-dug hole in the ground, and the body of Motep nearby. His look of alarm changed to one of smugness.
“You idiots,” he sneered, shaking his head. “I suppose I should thank you. Looks like you’ve taken yourselves out of the way; the plantation is mine now.”
At that moment the rest of the mines in the jeep exploded, abruptly extinguishing the life of Ignoramus and ending the dying gasps of Myrddraal.

Wasn't Sasaki the one who suggested that breaking a tie so quickly is the mark of a mafia?
He goes next round.
I say kill Sasaki.
He, as GF in Ichigo's game, killed me first round, and this game I died in the second round.
Leaving him alive either leaves a mafia alive or leaves someone the mafia will use continuously to throw people off their scent - his continued living obfuscates the issues. He is either guilty or a tool of the guilty.
CR
What part of confirmed innocent do you people not understand? /sigh
The lie?
No.Quote:

As Sasaki said, he is confirmed innocnet, unless both he and Ichigo are guilty. Which is unlikely. This is not the kind of thing they would try if they were both mafia. Also the Detective would have spoken up by now if he were lying.
Bah. I can vouch for both of them.
How?
Sasaki is categorically NOT confirmed innocent.Quote:

He broke a tie which was set up to give time for a third party to reveal themselves as a fellow investigatee (via GH if necessary), & therefore his innocence. This is a fact, as is his self-confessed evasiveness. His defence of GH's argument was pointless. He is acting very scummily.
It is only, as you say, the high risk nature of this strategy that stops me from calling for his/their lynch. At some point, if no corroboration is forthcoming, we're going to have to follow Rabbit's way of thinking, & excise the distraction that is Sasaki.
I agree that breaking the tie wasn't a smart move. Considering the fact that several players live in different timezones, it would have been better to wait until the investigated third player confirmed Sasaki's and Ichigo's story through GH (to protect that players identity from the mafia).Quote:

Why didn't the third investigated person contact one of the dead (and thus confirmed innocent) players yet to confirm your story?
Not breaking the tie would have given the opportunity to "number 3", who might be living in a different timezone, to confirm the story. We could have let the tie exist for as long as we wanted, after 12 hours putting a deathline, etc etc...
Breaking the tie has given a serious blow to your credibility in this game.
I broke a tie, still 5 of you voted the same as I did
The circumstances were different.Quote:

We could have all stopped voting, keeping the tie and alot of opportunity for every player, regardless of timezone to discuss what to do + "number 3" would have been able to confirm your story.Quote:

We need the tie to discuss more.You (Sasaki) saved yourself very faster.Thats scummy
Voting Analysis:
Infrequent voters still using oxygen:
Dutch Guy (voted Caius in r3)
Sapi (voted Tran in r2)
Twilightblade (no votes? Though several posts)
Warmaster Horus (voted No Lynch in r1
Voting for the Innocent (Innocence confirmed by murder)
Voting for Discovery1:
Andres, Sigurd Note: both of these votes were in Round 1, traditionally the most “random”
None of the other murderees received a vote save for Crazed Rabbit:
Caius (posthumous vote, quickly changed)
If we believe Sasaki/Ichigo are innocent:
Caius (Sasaki - r1)
Destro (Sasaki – r1 & r3 [the last a change from Ichigo to Sasaki])
G’khaan (Sasaki – r3)
Pever’ (Sasaki – r3)
Roadkill (Sasaki - r3 [a change from Ichigo in r3])
Xdeath (Sasaki – r3)
Xeh2 (Sasaki – r1 & r3)
Those of you believing Hankerchief that Sasaki is scummy can note:
Disco, Kage, & Rdece were all murdered immediately after voting for either Sasaki or Ichigo.
Frame up or weeding the opposition?
Damn:no: Well there you go all you whiners. You've found the other innocent in our ranks. Nag Nag Nag is that all you people do? Jesus Christ:wall: :wall:Quote:

Besides (always hate to quote myself) :
And before getting upset about why innocents have to reveal themselves: thank Sasaki. Why did he have to allude on his "innocence" in round 1 already? Add to that his scummy, wikked, evasive "defence" and the fact that it is very weird that he picked you... How did he know that you were the other one who was investigated on night 2??? And the small detail that Kommodus posted nowhere in his rules that there even is a detective in this game (however it is very likely there actually is at least one).Quote:

So... Xdeathfire got lynched over Sasaki ?
IF I was cantankerous I could have pointed out the fact that Sasaki never unvoted Seamus before putting his vote on Xdeathfire. Hence the tie should still be standing. So if somebody really want Sasaki lynched they should break the tie... like right now.
Just to update my list of people that are in danger of WoG if not putting in votes for the rest of the game:
Dutch_guyAlso from this round:
Sapi

CountA voted third on the Sasaki bandwagon and Andres third on the Xdeathfire bandwagon
Indeed, Sasaki didn't unvote first, so I guess Sigurd is right :yes:Quote:

Night 4
As the evening's shadows lengthened, a battered Toyota pick-up barreled along one of the back roads into Gisenyi, kicking up clouds of dust in its wake. Inside the cab, an unworldly duet was unfolding as the overblown strains of a Celine Dion power ballad blared out from the radio and mingled in less than close harmony with the atonal grunts of the truck's occupant, CountArach.
He hurried, as always, to get home from the copper mine where he worked as a foreman, desperate to rid himself of the day's layer of sweat and silt with a long cold shower. It was Friday, which meant a night of barbecued kid and cold Castle's at Keke's bar. In expectation of that weekly pleasure, he grabbed the quart bottle of local whisky from the passenger seat and took a long and appreciative slug.
As the vehicle rounded a corner, the headlights raced across the verdant jungle at the road’s edge, then aimed ahead as the road straightened out. As they did so, CountArach saw a black cow in front of him no more than 50 yards away. His right foot slammed on the brake pedal and his hands tightened their grip on the wheel as the nose of the truck dipped with the sudden exchange of momentum. The tires locked and ground along the rutted surface, and the truck slid to a halt with a relieved shudder. The cow raised its head and stared insolently at the driver.
CountArach swore, turned the engine off, got out off the cab, and walked up the cow. Its bloodshot eyes twitched in his direction. After a moment it seemed to come to the conclusion that CountArach was no particular threat, and took a couple of lazy steps to turn away from him.
CountArach noticed a dirty rope fashioned into a makeshift halter and fastened around the beast's mangy neck as uncomfortably as a lynch mob's noose. It took him several minutes of sweat- and curse-laden cajolery to move the truculent and intransigent beast off the road and tether it to a nearby tree. He returned to his truck and sat heavily down in the seat, taking a moment to calm himself and to contemplate the general idiocy of livestock – and, more particularly, of livestock owners. The quart of whisky on the passenger seat caught his eye; it looked almost full.
“Surely,” he thought to himself, “I've drunk more than that?” He smiled, however, and dismissed the notion by taking the bottle to his lips and drinking his fill. The heavy rasp of the potent brew warmed his throat, and the alcohol quickened his pulse as fast as the nanites began their deadly work.
With the crunch of stones under rubber and a snort of choking dust, the Toyota took off into the twilight, carrying its owner to an uncertain future. As the rear lights disappeared in the distance, a slender figure in a dark cowl trod lightly out of the roadside undergrowth, un-tethered the cow, and started to follow the road back into town.
…
CountArach’s truck was not found until the following morning, wrapped around the trunk of a river bush-willow tree just outside of Gisenyi. The blood was dried where it had poured out from many gashes and lacerations on his head, arms, and chest. A smashed whisky bottle was also discovered on the crumpled floor of the vehicle, giving off an odor strong enough to cut through the stench of death.
As CountArach’s death was the only one that day and appeared to be an obvious accident, rumors began to circulate that the Cosa Nuova had at last been driven from town. Had the Gacaca rituals succeeded in bringing the guilty to justice?
There were three pieces of information that effectively disproved that optimistic theory. The first came about mid-morning when another rock message was discovered outside the government building. It read:
ALL THREE INNOCENT
This was, of course, disturbing news, if it proved to be true. Many had not been satisfied with the decisions handed down by the Gacaca assembly, and this message appeared to confirm their fears. They assumed it referred to the three individuals lynched so far.
The second bit of evidence that the threat of the Cosa Nuova was not eliminated came just after noon, when the medical examiner announced his findings concerning CountArach’s death. It appeared that he had been dead before the truck crashed – and there was no clear cause of death. The authorities were concluding that, like the other deaths, this was a case of murder.
The final event occurred just as a large group was gathering in mid-afternoon for the evening’s assembly. A man burst out of a nearby house, holding a hissing black mamba by the neck! The man was Ichigo. He was raving mad, cursing and howling insults at everyone and everything.
“You lunatics! You deranged vipers! Snakes, every last one of you! All you’ve done is murder one innocent after another, doing the Cosa Nuova’s work for them!” The people backed away from him nervously, keeping their distance from the deadly snake in Ichigo’s hand.
Ichigo simply laughed. “Are you afraid?” he cackled. “Well, you have nothing to fear from poor old Ichigo. You’ll never have to fear or distrust me again!” With that he moved the viper’s mouth to his exposed arm, allowing it to sink its fangs deeply into his flesh. After a few moments he dropped the snake and allowed it to slither away.
“Are you happy now?” Ichigo sneered, observing the shocked expressions on the faces of the crowd. “One more innocent man killed. Isn’t that what you wanted?” He suddenly began to twitch and fell to the ground, the effects of the neurotoxin already starting to take effect. “Why won’t they listen?” he slurred as his life ebbed away.
By the time mayor Rwigema arrived on the scene with some emergency medical personnel, Ichigo was unconscious and beyond help. He addressed the crowd gravely.
“My friends,” he said, “It’s clear we have not yet dealt with the threat of the Cosa Nuova. We will once again have to reconvene the Gacaca court. I urge everyone to participate. I and my staff have been working through the night, and we have a plan that may yet save the town.”

A tie can be tricky. The converted player is expandable for the Cosa Nuova and they can use him to break the tie and lynch a townie.

Votye; Sasdaki
Guys, Sasaki is most likely innocent. But then again, the lurkers wont vote, and they will die. Not changing my vote though.
Time for me to wake up. Better vote than get WOGed, especially now.
Like pevergreen says, better to kill a lurker than an active player.
So, Vote:Twilightblade.
Mind you, if a lurker starts participating now, it's not good for them, and they'll probably get lynched at the same time. Following that train of thoughts, it's not gonna look good for me.
Caius, sapi, Killfr3nzy, you do realize you're providing the Cosa Nuova plenty of opportunities to frame somebody, right? Should Sasaki die, you'll be accused, should one of you die, Sasaki will be accused.
I'm aware of that; but killing a lurker is a 99% chance of killing an innocent (show me one mafia who doesn't pay attention to their game) and Sasaki just hasn't been himself this game.
Not only has he been acting differently, breaking the tie last round was a bad idea.
If he truly wanted what was best for the town he would have allowed discussion even if he may have died from it, not voted for xdeathfire without comment.
Well, if he can explain that I'll keep my vote, if he can't though...
Exactly.
And self preservation is not an excuse from a man who is usually a strong advocate of the 'greater good'
Sasaki is definitely interested in self-preservation, but I'm still not convinced of his guilt. I believe that there are people out there who have the evidence we need to damn or to clear him.
Why are you now fighting his corner, pevergreen? A few pages back you'd concocted some convoluted reason why he was definitely Mafia. Your twists & turns, & your attempt to embroil others in PM shenanigans are starting to catch my eye. You were lynched through your attempts to be too clever in CdiT, & I'm getting a strong sense of deja vu. Feel free to allay my fears.
Re: lurkers. Lord knows, I love a lurker/non-voter, but if we're going to pick on one, surely we start should with pressure on Dutch_guy? He's very experienced, he's the consummate lurker, & his aptitude for this behaviour would have brought him Mafia victory in Mafia VI if GH hadn't made him vote. Quite frankly, he's scaring me.
Please can I ask a few more of you to join me a gentle bandwagon on Dutch_guy, just to coax him out from the comfort of his shell. :hide:
Vote:Dutch_guy
Vote count
Sasaki - 4 (Caius, sapi, Killfr3nzy, Xehh II)
Twilightblade - 3 (pever, Andres, Warmaster)
Xehh II - 1 (Seamus)
Dutch_guy - 1 (HughTower)
Sasaki is mostlikely innocent
I would like to vote Killfrenzy (or Caius) as they seemed most mafia-like, but I will bandwagon on Twilightblade, as that's the best vote for now
Vote: Twilightblade
Why is he the best vote? In your own words please. Bandwagoning is not that usefull, especially since there's now a tie between Twilightblade and Sasaki.
