Swords in the Moon [Concluded]

LOL. I guess I've played about 6-7 mafia games, so though experienced, I'm way less a veteran than many. Sasaki Kojiro has played in all the games I've been in. I've seen him be aggressive, quiet, able to lie through his teeth, sneaky, analytical, and a lurker. In short, he masters the game mechanics, then plays the players, like a good poker-player. It's hard to find a good "tell" on him.

I've yet to successfully peg his role before the endgame. So, I have a hard time supporting the proposition that he's playing differently than usual - cuz he always does.

You are too scummy. It seems to me provoking noobies may be worthwhile but doing so to a vet is pointless.

The only accusations I've found that had merit (right or wrong) were the cases against Stephen, Ajaxfetish and schlin and they were based on real detective work.

Of course, as I sit here composing this, my character is decomposing, so what do I know of mafia?

Well i have also played with Sasaki ever since the first mafia hosted by GH. Though i havent played in half of a year, so i might be bit rusty. My personal style of playing is very much based on intuition about other players. Now do i think that we are likely to gather solid evidence against Sasaki, based on clear mistakes from him if he is mafia? My answer is no. I respect his capabilities enough to know that he can fool the town. Nevertheless, my intuition says that Sasakis behaviour is somehow off. Am i right with my hunch? That remains to be seen. If at this point i should name the mafia players based solely on intuition and scarce evidence wich supports (largely only inside my own head), that hunch.

I would bet that Sasaki, Tincow and Beskar are the ninjas and Stephen Asen and Duckie are the traitors. It will be fun to see if i did get any of them right when the game ends.

Interesting assumption. I am indeed interested to hear your logic, Kagemusha-san.

Should I pm my battle rating to CA since I'm in a duel?

Its just intuition and some suspicions. I will inform you publically immediately if something concrete surfaces.

Three of the names are FoS, and two I have voted on previously.

I am not lucky enough to be a Mafia-role.

I could kill people then, or have some really cool pro-town role where I can kill my suspects... muahahaha

What is FoS?

**Wishazu** · 04-25-2009, 19:22

FoS = Finger of Suspicion mate.

I was tempted to say "Fool or Stupid" as a joke, but people might thought I was being serious.

I am indeed flattered by your high opinion of me.

And by the way, could you decide in which category I am? Traitor, Ninja or a fool? With a good arguments, please.

Well your intuition is wrong atleast in my case, as I have already claimed my innocence and will never sully my integrity for a mafia victory. It is worth far more than a successful deception.
