Mafia IX: Triumph of the Mafia [Concluded]

[Secura]

Secura was very suspicious in dethy mini mafia. She was innocent.

Hey! I was suspicious because you made me out that way! Attacking things that weren't necessarily scummy, jumping on the slightest thing I said, barely fronting anyone else out... I was merely doing everything I could to prove my innocence save PMing you my Role PM directly! :P

Also, Pizza, I think it's a bit of a stretch to label Yaseikhaan's antics as "bold leadership". I've never played a game with him before SF/Mafia IX, so I'm unsure if this is just indicative of his style, but I feel that if we're going to follow someone's lead each turn, I'd prefer it not to be someone who thinks that disliking a film makes you scummy.

[Beskar]

Seriously, why haven't Methos and Renata been voted off and killed anyway for being Scum partners?

For anyone who is still in confusion about my "pressure vote", I'll spell it out:

It was a ploy- a mind-game designed to get the mafia to lodge their votes- since they are looking for evidence in behavior where there actually is none. My apparent lack of sense provided such an opportunity... and once again, the suspicious Renata took the bait right off the bat.

That is why I find Renata suspicious right now. Obviously, more people are inclined to take me seriously even after I said I wasn't being serious with tthat vote...

[Renata]

unvote, vote Chaotix

I don't think it was a ploy. I think it was a bad vote.

There are certain types of comments that mafia will tend to jump on to get in a cheap vote. But if you're trying to lure them into doing so, you don't do it by actually screwing up. You do it with an ambiguous comment that has a simple innocent explanation as well as the superficially suspicious one.

You just screwed up, Chaotix. You tried to make a "I'm so pro-town look at me complaining about the lousy play yesterday" comment, but you hadn't been paying enough attention to what actually happened to make it an accurate one. And you hadn't been paying that attention because with a couple of townies on the firing line, you didn't much care.

Vote: khaan

We do NOT need another runaway bandwagon this round. Last time was forgivable since it was Day 1... but let's not continue that tradition longer than it needs to go.

I say, since there's absolutely nothing else to go on, we start voting by good old behavioral analysis. And I think we are due an explanation from our new eager bandwagon-starter, khaan. Pressure vote for now.

I re-iterate: there was no runaway bandwagon yesterday.
