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

What lack of time excuse?

What lack of time excuse?

Good point; reviewing your posts, it was just a single-time excuse for being away for a single weekend. For some reason I erroneously thought it was a generalized thing, which it was not. This makes you even more suspect, as you've simply adopted a radically different style of play without any reason for it whatsoever.

Can someone please make a tally of all missing (not added or misplaced) letters we got so far and then another with the other categories included so we can toy with it?

We should have a sentence by now I think.

I'll be busy today so someone else can do it. My post a few pages back has all the ones we found up to a certain point. I decided to take a break from it since, as you pointed out, I couldn't keep my I's and A's straight.

His excuse was that it is hot in his room.

That's simply not true, and even if it were true it wouldn't be any evidence of guilt. When people accuse someone of 'acting differently then in past games' the basis of the accusation is the assumption that the person can't play the same way as mafia that they can as town. That's clearly not the case with me. Ergo.

My reason, explained a couple times now, was that after being forced into low posting by high temps and a road trip, I decided to let things develop on their own for a while.

Vote: Sasaki Kojiro

Lots of people left who play well and have a track record of success as mafiosi. Sasaki, Kukri, and Kommo stand out, for me, because we're seeing decidedly different volumes than norm from them. With respect, Sasaki, I think your style is too far off your base as well as your posting frrequency change. Your average is now coming up, of course, but....

If you were "laying back and letting things develop," we sure could use the benefits of your quiet insight now.


Kommodus and Kukri remain persons of concern for me.

[GeneralHankerchief]

Wow, not even one page has passed. It's your game, guys.

[Sarathos]

Vote: Sasaki Kojiro

I think you mean Vote:Sasaki (not my vote).

But I disagree with you Seamus, just because some people are better at being mafia then afters doesn't necessarily make them mafia all the time. Sure Sasaki And Kommodus are outstanding players when mafia, but I am pretty sure we have all been mafia at least once (even me) so although being a good mafia player helps, you you really need to do is win. Makaikhaan for one I know to be a excellent mafia but very few times has he been caught. But even I have managed to get awat with a mafia victory (shocking I know) which furthers supports the fact that althought going for the veteran mafia players is a rather sound plan, the less noticed ones are equally as likely and shouldn't be disregarded.

While on those lines, Vote:FactionHeir . You are more than active in Andres mafia, where are you in this game?

[Beefy187]

There is couple players that im not really sure about because I don't remember playing with them.

Couple players that I find suspicious.

Kommodus is being very quiet. I suggest lynching him in next few turns as he can work either dead or alive.

Joe Monks did couple of "I am not mafia trick" and I am still deciding whether I should trust him or not.

Assuming that detective is still alive, I don't think either Ichigo or Sasaki is guilty because they seem to be popular investigation choices in the earlier round.

Still alive: (19)
Ichigo
RoadKill
shlin28
makaikhaan
Sasaki Kojiro
Sigurd Fafnesbane
Caius
Gaius Scribonius Curio
Sarathos
Beefy187
Tiberius of the Drake
KukriKhan
CountArach
Kommodus
Seamus Fermanagh
Kagemusha
discovery1
FactionHeir
Joe Monks

Those three player in red seems to be a good choice for me. However this is only from judging the past two rounds so I dont know how other player acted suspiciously.

I will

Vote: Roadkill

He is not acting strange but he is normally a silent killer when he is mafia. As I don't have solid reason I will change the vote if I see a better option

Also I have a plane to catch tomorrow so I don't think I will be active later tonight and tomorrow.

When I get to my country, I will try read through what others said especially makaikhaans post about Sasaki.

[Gaius Scribonius Curio]

I'm going to Vote: Kommodus for now.

A few people have mentioned that he needs to be watched. I for one have no real ideas at the minute, aside from a lingering suspicion of FactionHeir. Also as people have mentioned prior to this, Kommodus' tool can be utilised whether he is alive or not, and if h is truly with the town I'm sure he will.

Will try to keep an eye on the thread and keep up to date, but I've just started my exam week, so my activity might drop off a little bit.

Kommodus admits to being a poor mafia . I personally do not believe he is mafia because when he is mafia he posts up some results from Holmes and, while he does keep his activity fairly low, he never goes absolutely silent.

Anyway, I've received a PM asking why I am not active, and I will explain it with arguing with Americans in the Backroom (Always a waste of time ) and being in the middle of University exams.

[Andres]

Why are you guys not lynching Kukrikhan?

That might be true in the past. If Kommodus yet again got the role of Mafioso, I would believe he would try to change his tactic. We all know Kommodus has a busy job and it would not sound strange to us if he told us he had no time playing. Playing the lurker Mafioso is a well proved tactic.
Do we have games where Kommodus is townie and is inactive like this?

Vote: Kommodus

That's a flimsy excuse, and I expect you know it. In one of the biggest games you suddenly go all quiet on us, and so far have managed to slip under the radar.

I don't buy your 'let things develop' explanation. You gathered less suspicion and as a mafia, that's goal number one, isn't it?
