Texas Mafia [Concluded]

[KukriKhan]

gg everyone!

After Ichigo picked me as a killer, as his payback for volunteering to take one for the team, I found myself in a pickle. After feigning going along with the town for 100 posts, I had to figure out some way to avoid suspicion, and get someone else picked for killer duty.

BOLD-FACED LIE, seemed the only option. I got the feeling that some townies bought my act, even without a Cop-appointment PM as proof. But all it did was save my hide for 1 turn.

I kept seeing Sasaki on line, but not sapi, who might have been able to pull off a couple more gratuitous daykills - but as he reports: rl interfered.

FWIW, telling that LIE was a difficult task; in rl I don't have a good poker-face, so my friends don't include me in any practical jokes usually - cuz I'll slip up and giggle at the wrong time.

Anyway: good job of anlysis you guys; even without Ichigo's premature/random pick of me as killer, you'd have had me pegged in another turn or 2, and you already suspected sapi.

[sapi]

It's definitely an interesting form of mafia though - in a normal game kukri and I would have been able to hold on for days as you debated

kukri - that's the great thing about the internet - they have no way to tell that you're lieing except for using logic, and that certainly makes things far more interesting

[Crazed Rabbit]

Good job Xiahou! Thanks Sasaki for the game.

And good game everyone.

Oh, & CR, I think Ichigo was just having a giggle when he asked whether you were Mafia (given that Mafia VI is fresh in the mind and all), but your outraged reaction of not actually answering the question was the most suspicious thing you'd done all game!

Well, I can't fall back on the truth all the time. I didn't think that my reaction was really being outraged at Ichigo. But I'll keep that in mind...

[Sasaki Kojiro]

Was interesting. I think sapi was a little overeager on his kill. The "choose who kills" strategy was a good one.

[Caius]

Well, this cant be won, thank to you, mr Kukri.

Oh, and those ugly new avatars are...ugly

[UltraWar]

One mafia game which I live through

[Csargo]

Good job townies!!

It wasn't your reaction (maybe 'startled' or ' shocked' rather than 'outraged'?), it was the wording of your answer. It looked like a very deliberate non-answer, if you know what I mean.

Not that it matters, it was just amusing.

No offense taken, I hope Caius? I certainly never intended such.

The cop role was so quiet, that I actually thought it was Ultrawar or Sir Boo, the low-posters in the game, not you (which was why I threw your name out as a falsely-cleared townie; I never suspected it (the Cop) was you). Another bad guess on my part.

Anyone have a critique on how I could/should have played my role better, or smarter?

Well you shouldn't have put sapi's name in your PM to me. That was the only thing I can think you did wrong.

[Caius]

No offense taken, I hope Caius

No man, we thank you.Im not offended.

You should had said Innocent and not clean.Well, you wont know how Sasaki told me if someone is innocent

Anyone have a critique on how I could/should have played my role better, or smarter?

Not Sure :D
Joke.When you are mafia, you should find an accusation to kill someone.But we cant killed in the day.That was wrong, and I was going to suggest to kill CR.He send an accusation to UW, who Sasaki told me was innocent.I did a mistake.I revealed sooner, and without the goon name.So I was the next.Altough you made a good PM, if the cop was a lurker the mafia should had win.Other thing you can do is Say:
Caius and Sir Boo are clean, i was going to investigate sapi.
So, Sir Boo lynched, and maybe a good mafia victory

Cheers

CF had leaked his Cop role earlier (& he wasn't under pressure at the time).

When asked to be the shooter, you stalled for analysis, then claimed that it wasn't right to kill someone without proper evidence & asked the Cop to reveal, then revealed yourself as the Cop. It goes, without saying, that your inconsistency meant you weren't very believable. You needed to reveal loud & proud, straight off the bat, if you were to have any chance at all.

In hindsight, I think the best option (after Ichigo had named you as the shooter) for you & sapi would have been to co-ordinate simultaneous night & daykills till you had won. All you needed was SK to be watching - and I'm sure you could have forewarned him - & you would have killed us all in a few minutes flat.

That would have been quite cool.

[Sasaki Kojiro]

It would, of course, have relied on my cooperation...

[KukriKhan]

Excellent points, all. Thanks fellas!

[GeneralHankerchief]

Kukri:

The one thing you failed at was you put sapi as an innocent. Mistake. If you're mafia and you claim Detective, don't put any read at all on your Godfather. That way you keep everyone guessing. Ichigo should really have known that, he was a Godfather in that exact scenario which I listed above.

(of course now that I've made it public, nobody will do it now )

Good game, everyone.

[Crazed Rabbit]

You know, I didn't know Ultrawar was innocent - I was trying to get some discussion going.

It looked like a very deliberate non-answer, if you know what I mean.

Yup, I did kind of intend to do that.

Ditto.

Sapi was a little too eager on the killing.

of course now that I've made it public, nobody will do it now

Or they will, because noone expects them too, but we might expect them to not expect us to know that, so they wouldn't do it, so we'd...

[sapi]

Yeh - I didnt' play this one very well at all

The other thing I was considering (and i didnt' go ahead with for obvious reasons) was killing kukri and then co-ordinating the kills the next day.

The time difference between our locations meant that it would never have worked with both of us involved :(
