Elements of Mini-Mafia

**Iskander 3.1** · 10-27-2009, 21:55

Vote: Double A per Tratorix's reasoning.

Beskar, do I have to spell my role out you? I am Fe. Paracelsus once said,

He who knows what iron is, knows the attributes of Mars.
He who knows Mars, knows the qualities of iron.

I have a feeling that our enemy here is water, even though water isn't an element. Water reacts violently with Mg. Water causes me to oxidize and rust.

Everyone, please post your roles. I think I'll be able to figure out who is lying.

edit: I'm keeping my vote on Double A because his post was very scummy, but I should point out that while Beskar's vote on me initially appeared to be a "meatball vote", upon further review it shows signs of being a scummy bandwagon vote.

edit edit: However (this sounds a little like meta-gaming, but it's worth pointing out), it's not like Beskar to miss a night order. Double A, on the other hand, was mafia in my last small game and he missed several night orders.

How long ago was that? Seriously?

Tratorix didn't have a reason. Because you said bubbles, I was all like "Hey don't either the Alkali metals or Alkaline Earth Metals basically blow up when they touch water? You must be one of them!"

Now that I look back at my notes, it's Alkaline Earth Metals. I didn't think you'd be iron. When iron rusts it doesn't bubble, does it?

What reasoning? I was just pointing out that you couldn't be Magnesium, as Double A suggested. Looking for any hint of a bandwagon to jump on are you Iskander?

No, iron doesn't bubble. AVSM and I were simply conversing about what happens to Mg when water is added. Yes, it bubbles, amongst other things (bubbles are the least of your concerns if you add water to Mg).

I still think that the rest of you should state your roles.

Weren't we supposed to have a lynching already?

**Iskander 3.1** · 10-28-2009, 06:03

By "Tratorix's logic" I meant that he pointed out that Double A made an unnecessary post asking if I was Mg, even though it was clear that Tratorix was Mg. Unnecessary posts are often a sign of someone being scummy, because they're attempting to shift the focus away from themselves.

And at least I explained my vote. Atheotes went on "gut feeling," which is better than nothing, but johnhughthom's vote is completely without any explanation.

Tratorix, I voted for you half in jest, but your lack of a defense is why I didn't unvote.

Yes Zain, the deadline has passed and I'll probably get lynched and turn into rust. The mafia are probably gonna win this one if people don't bother listening to your fellow townies' defenses...why is everyone afraid to admit their roles? If I really were scum, would I have anything to gain by discovering your roles? Did AVSM make everyone but Tratorix and myself members of the mafia?

I didn't ask for that explanation, nor did anyone else. But while we are on the subject, how should I have defended myself from votes with no explanation? Iskander's probably a decent lynch for today, but everyone needs to start talking more.

You're right. Gah, this is not a good prelude to my next small game, is it? Ah well.

Iskander was disposed of properly. He was just thrown into a box of iron and left there. The professor went home with some women of ill repute, for his discoveries were circulating the world.

Iskander was lynched. He was a TOWNIE. The professor would not get his kicks.

Thanks for not letting me rust too quickly, host.

Atheotes=town

I'm gonna stay active here, being a chem nerd and all. (Back at U of Wisconsin I was in the co-ed professional chemistry frat, AXE (by E I mean sigma). Let's here those roles, folks!
