Mafia VIII: Return of the Recommencement of the Revenge of the Mafia [Concluded]

**Seamus Fermanagh** · 06-26-2008, 23:39

The case against 'khaan:

He's a lurker, using a convenient absence just like Andres used a move -- to lay low with a verifiable excuse. In his favor, going that close to WOG status is not a good protection tool -- and a little risky for any mafios.

The case against Sara':

He's a lurker, using absence to lay low. Again, the risk of WOG is a mitigating here as GH WOULD WOG a mafiaoso just as readily as anyone else.

The case against Kage':

Sharp player, always around and pushing but never really taking a coordinated analytical effort. A classic mafia ploy -- being helpful but never quite enough. In his favor, his posting frew and style are fairly close to the baseline.

The case against Disco':

He's managed to vote every other session (more or less) save for these last two. In the past, he's tended to vote more regularly (if just as flippantly) or missed several votes in a row (and has been wogged for same).
Also, if you believe 'Kev is mafia, then Disco' is his partner. Disco is the only one I can think of, aside from Sasaki, who'd consider a "offer up your partner round one so that he's a mostly credible foil" gambit (and Sasaki's not suited to the passive partner role by inclination).

And no, I am not saying this to protect my mafia partner, because I am not/was not a mafioso in this game.

Seamus, I'm mortified!

I must be slipping.

IMO, it has to still be Kage or Disco.

I'm still convinced that it is Kage!

So with this in mind... Disco you need to vote Kage to save the town!

(And to make sure... ... ...Gah I can't find it! (The bandwagon smiley that is) This will have to do:

)

Eh, bandwagon only works with it comes the players official vote. That and I think you were mafia. Course I am also starting to suspect Kage.

Also im starting to think that maybe this last round I shouldn't goof off. But if I do that I'm probably dead.

Finally I'm thinking what I will do is just pick a player at random at the last second, or maybe pick on ichi for his bad connection.

Apologies mine host!

You have the nerve and the verve to try virtually anything -- and have bested me in single combat when I held all the cards! -- but I failed to list you as you are always the host in these games where the classic 1/2 mafia = 2 kills apply and hence when such a gambit might be valid.

No offense intended.

I quite simply do not trust Disco enough to have faith that he could last a whole game without getting himself lynched.

I would trust Sasaki or TC enough to pull that off. But there is no one left alive that I would try that gambit with.

If I was mafia in this game, with Disco as my partner, I would try to stay alive because I would fear that his goofing-off-meatball-votes would get him lynched.

I appreciate the compliment, but I certainly was trying to not be lynched in this game and that didn't work out so well. While getting yourself intentionally lynched first round is an interesting and absurdly bold strategy for a mafioso duo, it relies so heavily on luck that I would (probably) never try it.

No, I meant I would trust you or Sasaki to stay alive by yourselves as mafia while I go and suicide the first turn.

I certainly wouldn't trust many others enough to live through the whole game alone as mafia.
