Departed Dethy Mafia II [Concluded]

It does seem a shame not to use the mechanic. We could use each day as if we were going to lynch someone, and then go for no lynch and do the investigation thing. That gives us a fallback in case the investigation results are inconclusive.

It might be the best strategy to have 3 people investigate secura tonight, and two people investigate me. Or someone else. Is it allowed to coordinate out of thread?

But I don't see how that plan works out really. One cop is killed, and one cop gets no results because his target was killed (if the mafia doesn't kill the person they were supposed to investigate). That means we just have two results going into day 2. Then the mafia can kill one of the people who got a result, that leaves only one person with two results.

johnhughthom investigates Methos
Double A investigates johnhughthom
Secura investigates Double A
Sasaki investigates Secura
Methos investigates Sasaki

For example, let's say that secura is mafia. She kills me tonight, so I get no results, and methos gets no results. John and hugh are the only ones with real results. Then secura kills john, so he gets no results and methos gets no results. In endgame, secura has fake results on Double A and methos, methos has no results, and Double A has a result on john and a result on secura. If he got innocent on john and guilty on secura, then we know she's guilty. If he got innocent on both, then methos could be guilty or john could be naive. If he got guilty on john and innocent on secura, then he's insane and secura is guilty. Guilty on both and he's paranoid.

But I think secura can fake the same results just as easily. In which case it ends up being a coinflip between the two of them, right? Are roles revealed upon death?

Compare that to the scenario where we lynch today, which has a higher base percentage.

I can live with that, because I can understand why I might seem suspect. You're still barking up the wrong tree, but it's a start I guess.

I wholeheartedly advocate this. Three people wasting their investigations on me isn't going to help the town one iota, but if it proves my innocence, go for it. Of course, one of the people who investigates me could be the mafia, and they could just as easily fabricate the results to make me seem more culpable.

I'm flattered that you're so fixated upon me being scum that you haven't (if you are even town yourself) considered the fact that Methos, JHT or Double A could be scum instead. I'd like to be credited with a small amount of intellect that I wouldn't be so stupid as to bring so much attention to myself if I was the mafia.

I assume by 'roles' you mean whether the dead person was paranoid, backwards or whatnot? I'd hazard a guess at that sort of information being revealed if the player was lynched, but perhaps not if they were murdered. Dunno, though.

What is FOS?

[Secura]

What is FOS?

Finger of suspicion.

It means that he isn't voting for me, but wants the three of you to know that he finds my words and actions suspect.

I suggest we do this, except three investigate Sasaki and two Secura.

johnhughthom, Double A and Secura investigate Sasaki.
Sasaki and Methos investigate Secura.
