Well, if we haven't slain any mafiosi, they have won. 7 - 2 = 5 with a 3 mafiosi majority. Only the failure to kill 2 townies would reduce this chance. Mafia success chance is 99.99%.
Presuming at least one Associate has been offed, the Godfather and remaining Associate must both survive one further lynch. 7 - 1m = 6, 6 - 1L = 5, 5 - 1m = 4 with a mafia 2-2 tie for the win. Chance of mafia win = 67%. If the Associate is lynched this chance then increases! 7 - 1m = 6, 6 - 1L* = 5, 5 - 1m = 4, 4 - 1l = 3, 3 - 1m = 2, Godfather wins the 1-1 tie. Chance of mafia win in final round = 75%. Overall mafia chances in this scenario = 62.25%
If both associates are dead, the Godfather must survive 2 lynches, including a 4-persons-left finale. 7 - 1m = 6, 6 - 1L = 5, 5 - 1m = 4, 4 - 1l = 3, 3 - 1m = 2, Godfather wins the 1-1 tie Chance of mafia win = 62.25%.
Seireikhaan, your qualms are well founded.
Suggestion to players:
Have everybody answer this question: "If I were mafia, who would I murder next?"
And/or have them answer: "Was Sasaki a mafioso, and why?"
GET THEM TALKING A LOOK FOR THINGS THAT SEEM "OFF."
The writeup's basic premise makes no sense considering how the voting went. Sorry, I'll try to have one based less on voting patterns next round (was thinking there was going to be a huge landslide against taka when I wrote it).
To our analysts out there, this is how I sent the writeup to GH:
Spoiler Alert, click show to read:
Throughout the day VICTIM saw that the townies fingered him as the one responsible for the murders. He knew he would have to face terrible judgment of The Wanax at the end of the day.
At first, VICTIM sobbed incessantly, wishing that shlin28 was still around to give more conventional executions, but his despair soon turned into desperation. VICTIM hatched a plan to escape the wrath of The Wanax.
Quite sometime back, VICTIM had built a small but fortified underground shelter because he was a man who liked to plan ahead. This shelter was stocked with every household appliance as well as generators to power them, and enough Ramen noodles to last years and years.
Some hours before the voting phase ended, VICTIM made a dash for his stronghold and barricaded himself in it. The other townies only realized what he was up to much too late, and were unable to stop him. They banged on the sealed doorway but to no avail. VICTIM laughed at them from inside: "HAHAHA! The Wanax will take his wrath on you now! Such is the price you pay for voting for me!"
The prospect of this terrified the townies, and when the unmistakable call of The Wanax came at execution time, the townies meekly went to the town square where The Wanax stood motionless, a barrel of water by his side.
"WHERE IS THE ACCUSED?" The Wanax demanded.
From his shelter, VICTIM watched closely on monitor number 4 of his surveillance system of the whole town. He chuckled at his own brilliance as he got ready to watch The Wanax take his wrath out on those who voted against him.
At some length the bravest of the townies, Beefy187, spoke up: "Um, well you see Mr. Wanax sir, he... um... he escaped before voting ended when he saw things weren't going well and ran into a impenetrable shelter. We found no way of getting in, but perhaps you could with your awesome powers and mighty phasgana Mr. Wanax sir."
"OK," boomed The Wanax as he remained too calm for the townies comfort. Briefly pulling out and looking at the phasgana, he elected to put it aside and instead went to the barrel of water and began uttering some chants.
The Wanax then gestured for the townies to come gather around the barrel which they did with much hesitancy. When they peered in, they could see VICTIM inside his shelter.
VICTIM himself was getting quite worried at the spectacle of the townies peering in to barrel, unscathed by The Wanax, and he had an uncanny feeling of being watched.
As he begin to pace around, he heard a soft hum coming from the kitchen nook. Panicked, he went to investigate.
There VICTIM saw the oddest and most horrifying sight of his life. The thousands of boxes of Ramen noodles were empty, and they were all stuffed into a small microwave (don't ask how it was done, The Wanax is good).
VICTIM could see the burgeoning microwave was about to explode any moment. He tried to get out of the house any way possible, but everything was barricaded. The irony dawning on him, VICTIM elected to commit suicide rather than be scalded to death by Ramen noodles. He ran back to grab a knife, but as soon as he reached the counter...
The townies did not have to look at the pool to witness the spectacular sight of the exploding shelter and a Ramen noodle mushroom cloud on its site...
Andres was seen going up to the edge of the noodle fallout to eat...
When things looked good (i.e: Andres was looking like he would be lynched) I sent GH a PM saying to change the mention of Andres at the end to Beefy.
And I am very disappointed with you White eyes, to be honest. Not only did you not kill Andres, you killed the only other guy voting for him...

Seamus your the only guy I can say with all my suspicions intact....that you were a "confirmed scum" because of this.....

Andres; thank you for answering my rebuttal. Now I can see where you are coming from I can understand why you would vote for me. Now if I'd have known that before I could have responded to that...
Reenk: that was possibly the funniest death scene I have witnessed. I am honoured to have been executed in such a memorable fashion.
Personally I think the town is drifting further up the creek without a paddle... I'd definitely take a closer look at Taka, and possibly Aries. Andres I'm less suspicious of now, as it is true that he could have saved himself at any time after the round end by changing his vote (and consequently reprieving me...).
If I am mafia, I would go for QJC. I think he'll be a hard player to turn into a lynch.
Andres would be a fine choice along as he always puts up a good fight when his about to get lynched.

I think you are underestimating our host's sense of playfulness. Believe as you will, but the truth shall show you that I was not a mafioso....this time.
However, even if you presume I am mafia in this game, it does not change the mathematics of the situation nor does it invalidate what I have been calling for.

A bit of wishful thinking GH, I doubt the town will spend 400 posts congratulating themselves on finally lynching the godfather, Sr. Curio. Unless...unless...
There were no kills today. The Godfather was dead, the Gameroom saved. There was much rejoicing all throughout the night.
Just kidding.
777Ares777 was scared out of his mind. The Wanax and the Mafia running around didn't make him feel any better and he could feel the gameroom being ripped apart by the two. He ran to his cabin, up in the Gameroom mountains. He hoped that he could escape from at least one day of craziness, under the new Chief of police and his Wanax. He didn't see that he was being followed by a man in a blue car.
The man in the business suit, quietly whistled to himself as he got out of his blue car and opened a briefcase with parts to a sniper rifle in it. He started assembling it until the last piece "clicked" into place. Then he moved into position and toke aim.
Meanwhile, back in the cabin 777Ares777 was unpacking his things, including, oddly, one juggle ball, as he planned to stay there for a few days. He only saw the man for a split-second but realized that he was aiming at him, from about 500 yards away with a sniper rifle. Very quickly, he jump to the floor and tried to figure out how he could get out of this mess.
The man in the business suit showed no surprise at this, in fact he was planning on it. He carefully switched his aimed for the cabins gas tank, that he placed inside a few hours earlier and pulled the trigger.
777Ares777 only heard a sound like gas leaking from his stove before a large explosion, instantly incinerated him. When the police arrived all they found was, yet another DVD, this one entitled "I had a good song but this will due".
With so much death present in the village, there was nary a sound to be heard. The man with the boombox's tunes, today's being "Tonight, Tonight" by the Smashing Pumpkins, echoed unnaturally throughout the town. In addition, Chief of Police Reenk Roink had no problem summoning everyone to the town square to vote once again.
The mood over the remaining villagers was pretty sober. The aura of death hovered around everybody.

Still alive: (6)
Andres
Quintus.JC
White_eyes:D
Reenk Roink
Beefy187
taka
Because they didn't vote in the last round, taka and 777Ares777 are up for Wrath of God if they don't vote this time. Considering Ares is dead, this only applies to taka.
I still think Reenk would be a good lynch, but lets keep all options open.
Vote : White_Eyes:D

EDIT : Hmmm, I've gone over your last 10 to 15 or so posts. Most of them are short, with lots of smileys and nothing really substantial. Is this your usual behaviour?
EDIT 2 : You sounded more serious in Chicago Soirée, putting more effort in finding a suspect.
Don't have much time right now. Can someone check Beefy187 ?
I'm thinking Quintus.JC is innocent. taka doesn't strike me as guilty either.

Ok, this, combined with RR's post, is absurd. You both toss some scum on each other, but do it in a way that makes it seem unpalatable to the townies. Reenk votes for you, but says he doesn't think you're the Godfather. This is an easy way to keep the town disorganized down to the wire. You then toss some scum on Reenk, but vote for someone else. This just makes you look antagonistic to him, without achieving anything.
This looks to me like Reenk Roink and Andres are working together. I agree with Sasaki that the Tonight, Tonight song indicates the game will end tonight. That means 2 mafioso left alive. Based on Andres' near suicidal behavior last round, I would peg Reenk Roink as the Godfather, and Andres as a grunt. Thus, lynch Reenk Roink.

I've been wrong in the past and lost games because I was too stubborn to change my mind over a particular player.
In Chicago Soirée I vigorously tried to get taka lynched because I was sure he was mafia, and he turned out to be innocent.
Yes, Reenks erratic behaviour and nonsensic voting make him look very scummy, but he usually ends up lynched because of it. It's not what you would expect from a crucial role like the Godfather.
Like I said, I still consider Reenk as a suspect, but for now, I'd like to keep all options open. Besides, votes are easily switched. The day just started. I have 24 hours to unvote and vote Reenk. But first, I want to hear more from White_Eyes:D.
Originally Posted by TinCow: Let me get this straight. You believe you know who the Godfather is, but you'd prefer to vote for someone else and lose the game?
We have two lynches left.
Also, winning is fun, but this is more fun.
Edit: obviously I still believe Andres is probably a Godfather too if QJC is not, and I believe his not voting for me is to set up a scapegoat. I honestly don't see what's so hard about this.
