Board 8 > Illuminati Mafia Topic 2 - The Man vs. The World

(+) Yeah! (+)

Also staring down Sultan looked good for him in my opinion. If hes scum its a little risky as Sultan is just unpredictable enough to shoot Corrik on a hunch. I feel Corrik is good enough to talk Sultan out of it as scum but he basically just laughed it off.

Because hes playing more like he does when hes town power in my opinion. Hes active enough to not draw attention, not confrontational enough to draw ire and interacting enough to get a read on people to utilise his power.

If you think he's town power why reveal that >_>

---

Because you were asking why I thought he was town.
Dont get me wrong Im not asking him or anyone else to claim or anything just saying thats my read.
If youre going to say that I should have just said I have reasons stop asking and youd have just said ok and moved on your lying.


---

Just so I'm clear on this. Sultan demanded claims, got none and then suicides into Han proving him town?

yup, that sums it up

And to anyone thinking me accidentally posting corrik was a scumslip, youre grasping at straws.

Sultan was bearing down on corrik and I legitimately thought he shot him at first. Its not that I didnt care who got shot, I was just excited about the possibility of a confirmed town corrik

not that Im not excited about confirmed town Han, thats a very good thing too for us.

I find it super convenient that Scare was gone while all this was going on, especially with Sultan wanting him to show up, and then pops in right after the shot

Ben came in strong as a replacement, but promptly fell off a cliff two pages later, after saying both Aecioo and Sultan were scum. I would like to see more expounding on his thoughts after... This.

If I have any problem with Tange, it's how content he was to basically stay out of Sultan's way while posting enough to remind us he was here. He name dropped SBell as a shot (without calling him scum), then went after him on something that is frankly irrelevant to the game now. He was clearly attentive enough to immediately respond when Sultan threatened Corrik, then botched who Sultan shot at. He then botched who was arguing with who. I'm not sure why Sultan immediately offered him a free pass, but it definitely felt like he took it because he stopped playing mafia at that point.

Aecioo is more likely scum than 5tar. I decided last night if he still hadn't posted again by the time I woke up, my last assertion on the matter last night was more likely to be the correct answer.

Oh I was definitely thinking this, but I didn't want to say it until we got more out of him. Scare didn't exactly offer much last night.

yup, that sums it up

That is so Sultan. Truly love that guy.

Anyway, let's kill scare. That's all I got.

---

Aecioo has also had zero posts since the bad interaction with 5tar. Watch him be roleblocker or something trying to hide and not draw attention. I really underestimated just how little he's done.

Oh and by the way 5tar, focusing on a specific small pool of people until I'm satisfied with their responses is pretty standard for me when it comes to processing the game. If you want an example, look at day 1 of the recent Phoenix Wright game. I laser focused on scum Death very early on and never let him go for the entire day because he never gave me a reason.

---

And I do have one scumtell I know of, but I can't fathom any reason I'd want to tell you it, regardless of what alignment I think you are. If I'm scum in a future game with you as town, you could use it against me. It won't impact this game because there wouldn't any reason to trust a self-given tell unless I'm dead or already confirmed town, so it serves effectively no purpose but to potentially hurt me down the road.

And that's where the ineffectiveness lies~

Actually Red did the same thing Scare did there. Both immediately showed up right after the shot and voted Tange.

Can we lynch them both if we all vote for ScaRed?

##Vote: Scared

Anyway.

##Vote: Aecioo

He has done little to nothing except for a bad vote on Gravy and responding meaninglessly to 5tar. People were looking his way early on and he didn't do much about it. There hasn't been one decent post from him in almost 24 hours and he's skirting by. Any pressure he might've had dropped off as a result.

---

Obellisk posted...

I prefer the one who seems to have gone into hiding as soon as he got any sort of pressure and has yet to give us any meaningful content in almost 24 hours.

---

I could also go for killing Aecioo. Aecioo, Scare, Red, are basically the people I DONT have any town reads on yet.

---

That's weird that Ben has nothing on his mason buddy scare.

I mean after all these years (games) I would expect some sort of read (town or scum), from Ben.

---

Wait. Strike that. He said town reads.

I misread that.

I thought it just said "reads"

Sorry neighbor.

---

I did not agree with the early attack on aecioo. I defended him. I thought there was literally nothing behind it. But then I trailed off. I will note he has not been around.

Well this brings up an interesting question because I have no intention to go back and read pages 1 or 2 again.

Who defended Aecioo more, you or Aecioo himself?

Aecioo and scare would be my preferred lynches.

I mean, sultan died I went through ctrl-f sultan and decided who I thought was most likely scum. It really isn't that complicated.

That might hVe been beginning of page two?

Did you have any thoughts on Tange before Sultans death? Did you think Sultan was still possibly scum after he claimed day gambler?
---

Aecioo rubbing me in a similar way as kaelee from the last game where all of their posts make perfect sense but they all feel a little static. That could be a product of genuinely not having much time to devote to the game, but feels more like they are making sure their posts are calculated carefully.

I actually dont want to kill Red or Scare today as I feel they resolve themselves quickly if town. I just had to point out that I'm not vibing with them yet.

---

Sultan's death at the very least may put our Town han on the right track now that his target is dead!

No. I wasn't even online for Sultan day gambler craziness.

Hm, this does feel like a fairly accurate comparison.

So hb is probably still just scum.

And yes, Hb's second question was pointless. We have no evidence you were even aware of Sultan before he killed himself.

I had no evidence that he wasnt aware before I asked. Why are you specifically needing to point out that the question is pointless? It seems like a weak attempt to shade me.

Would have been good for Sultan to tell us if Godfather dies if shot.

Red had 0 points between Sultan's claim and Sultan's death. The question was absolutely pointless, and I waited to see how Red would respond to it.

I expected the activity in this game to be poor but... This feels like it's going to end up with throwing darts at a board in the last 10 minutes.

what the fuck

Well, I'm confirmed Town, so before I obv die tonight, Hb, give us your claim.

---

I don't feel great about Scare saying it's good to trade a dead Sultan for a confirmed Town Han.

---

5tarscream posted...

Im awake.
ffs Sultan you should have just held the shot.
oh look now the shot is gone Scare is back. Cool.

I think Sultan trying to pressure Corrik was so cute, it was like the first Harry Potter film where Neville tries to stand up to the big 3.

I think Corrik was an awful shout too because his game has screamed of town play so far. I guess he is an excellent scum player but Id lean strongly town on Corrik so far.

I can't help that sultan busted his nut entirely when I wasnt around the game

Fastbreak posted...

So that actually wasnt a terrible shot. Trading sultan for confirmed han isnt bad

And being in sync with him and red also seeing issue with battle I feel like it's a very very good lynch

MZero11 posted...

Han was pretty clearly town anyway though

Fastbreak posted...

Yeah but now I dont have to be paranoid while he is alive

A town core in tact is a powerful tool

I have han and corrik confirmed
Red and ben solid

Hb and tange on the outs

This is building fine

Something just seems a little off with it in general I'd say. Trading what might effectively turn into a mislynch (We ent from 13 to 12) to confirm town that he already thought was town that will probably, in Han's own words, just get shot for it, doesn't seem like anything worth considering a positive.

---

Hbthebattle posted...

Roleblock and shoot Han. Lmfao do you even mafia.

---

But I mean they were only shooting Han with an unblockable anyways so makes even less sense.

Corrik7 posted...

Yep. As soon as I saw Sultan confirm Han, I immediately thought "If they have an unblockable, Han is going to die".

Han thought the exact same thing, I'm sure.

I'll accept it.
