Mafia VIII: Return of the Recommencement of the Revenge of the Mafia [Concluded]

Kukrihan's post count is also significantly higher then in his last games, where he was pro-town.

Not only that, but most of his posts don't contain much substance.

At the beginning of the game, Kukri wanted to lynch "the lurkers" which is something that shouldn't be done early at the game.

Voting lurkers at the start of a large mafia = voting with bad reasoning.

After that we had the peverpink "reveal". At first he wanted to lynch pever, but later he changed his opinion.

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

OK, I'll go with the "give pever the benefit of a doubt" plan, because I can't explain his motivation (and he hasn't either). His accusation against Kage is too shaky to trust.

unvote: peverpink
vote: Mithrandir

^^My default position: vote off the lurkers, intentional or not.

If we give pever the benefit of the doubt, then shouldn't Kage be our lynch for today?

If we assume pever is the detective, then what exactly is shaky about "Hi, I'm the detecive and my investigation result shows Kage as guilty"?



Most of the lurkers will be dealt with by the Wrath of God (WoG). We should pay attention to the lurkers within a day or 3, namely to those who haven't posted much and still managed to avoid the WoG by then.

Again he wanted to lynch lurkers. Kukri is more then experienced enough (I believe he already played mafia while I was still a junior member) to know that lynching lurkers must wait until late mid game.

When questioned about it, he started to pay attention to the "lost letters" riddle, which is an easy way to "contribute" without really having to say something or take a stance about other players' behaviour. To me, it seems like his contributions about "the riddle", are just a way to avoid looking suspicious.

We all know Kukri as the nice and friendly guy he is, but that doesn't mean he can't be a mafioso. Just like we shouldn't lynch people because they have the reputation to be "dangerous", we shouldn't let people with a "friendly" reputation of the hook so easily.
