I investigated Adam "aok" o' Kalinich, and he told me that he should be lynched. To quote Adam: "yes start a lynch mob against me asap"

Given that this is mystery mafia I would believe this is more than just aok being aok

My mayoral investigation says adamyedidia did not kill Alex.

I made a second investigation (which I make no claim to be able to repeat), learning that kmli did not kill Alex.

Also, a reminder that these (and any other investigations I make) are 100% infallible (by word of god.)

...I'd like a back up of this. This is a bit convenient.

I agree. This seems sketchy to me, particularly given the rapid bandwagoning onto "lynch ijc".

Does proxy mean "this person is unable to play for a portion of the game and designated me to wield their role for that time" or "this person messaged me because they didn't want to reveal themselves and so I'm posting this"?

The second one.

"body double" is usually used for the first one, in case that comes up.

Generally the latter. If it is the former case, the substitution is usually announced publicly in a post.

Ok, then I agree there should be a confirmation, by someone we trust and not through proxy.

I mean, investigations are normally done via proxy because it ensures the safety of the investigator. Mafia usually has a "set a trap" power where they can get a free kill on someone who they correctly guess the role of.

However, I do agree that having mayor Daniel Grazian do a confirmation investigation would be worthwhile. Or if anyone has a shovel?

On the Spreadsheet of Awesomeness ijc is marked as investigated positive for both Day 2 kills. I don't see this information on this thread.

Mnjy, proxies are generally considered a good idea, because people who can make investigations are important to the town, and so we don't want to reveal their identities to the bad guys.

This is a standard strategy across many live action mafia games, and has definitely helped the town.

See my thread titled strategy for more info.

@isaacg I get that but in this case we have a person who is publicly making investigations (the mayor), and anyone could easily fake a proxy. An investigation whose results are relayed to us by proxy would be no more informative than the first investigation above, since the same player could send the message again through a different proxy.

Mnjy okay, your suggestion makes more sense in context. Confirmation investigations make sense to be done by public investigators.

Sorry, I didn't post this here before (I mentioned it in another thread.) These investigations are from Day 2:

jordanh did not kill pravinas
lzahray did not kill pravinas

Hence my suspicion of ijc, the other person who pravinas had named.

Ooh. If ijc did kill pravinas, does this make it a lot less likely that any of the people who pravina was paranoia-texting (Lucy, dylanhen, lukesci, jamb, ecd) - or at least the more experienced players among them - is mafia? I guess there are ways to explain this away (e.g. no time to warn ijc off) but I'm not sure.

To clarify, you mean this probabilistically and not provably, right?
