Live Action Mafia

That's a good idea Daniel had... too bad there aren't any backups to make it work

Also I didn't see any security measures against Team Rocket claiming backup to the innocent child.

Yup Katie just told me she wants to claim backup.
DGrazian seems to strongly suspect Lily of being Mafia. He's feeding her a story that he and Katie are Gay Knights (with Katie's knowledge) to see how she reacts.

Yup. And the mafia have the medkit already, oh prunes. Also, good to know about DGrazian and Lily. I suspect it's not so much that he strongly suspects her as that it would be really useful for him to know her alignment.

Megan, Shike, DGrazian, and Ksedlar have the most highly connected alibi graph I can remember seeing. Pretty impressive.

And yet, Megan investigated Daniel for Ellena's death

Yeah, it was mostly KSedlar and Daniel confirming MChang's and Shike's alibis. I'm amused that DGrazian is such a polarizing figure; he was the subject of the first investigation but has also already been trusted by an innocent child.

Unrelated: Is Santiago playing this game? He just emailed me, KSedlar, and DGrazian asking us to vote for Anpere because he "saw him try to kill Elaine". Which he clearly didn't because Anpere is investigator. Is this a Rocket-friendly NP making trouble (and making it double)?

That... is news to me. Mafia have more friends than they thought

I wish I knew where Aradhana's suspicion of Anpere was coming from. If town is lucky, he won't get lynched and Team Rocket will contact him.

Something just occurred to me. If anpere gets lynched, it would be pretty reasonable for michikyo to shovel him. Once she sees he was an investigator, she publicly declares that he was mafia, which could put her in contact with the mafia.

It doesn't make sense for them to think he was rogue though. It's Day 1 so he couldn't have killed anyone or even tried to kill anyone.

Yeah, apparently he did a fake bang? Pretty sure that's illegal.

He likes doing "boom," or something like that that isn't technically a game action, but sure sounds like it. Elaine, as a new player, probably mistook it. Also, Ara somehow misinterpreted things even more (maybe autocorrect on a phone?), and to top it all off, before dying, earlier that day, I had expressed suspicions of anpere. I think these things combined made things bad.

Also, could I see a list of player roles?

michikyo definitely wants to call anpere a mafia. If she says he was innocent, it'll really make townies suspicious of Zach voting to lynch him

Oh man if town lynches Ara next because of the wishy-washy, insufficient evidence lynch mob she led against Andres, the mafia will be so happy. This does seem like it'll be a short game.

Oh man I just thought of the cutest AU of the future of this game.

So if Maura Hennessey was not a trusting first-time player, it would be so cute if she kept the receiver, Elaine kept the mic, and then when she found out that Zach killed Elaine, she smote Zach with her gay knight powers. There's like a negative possibility of it actually happening, but it would be very adorable if it were even within the realm of possibility.

I was just about to post that Maura could totally catch Zach because aradhana has Microphone #2. Zach's planning on killing her tomorrow, and they haven't discussed using Kaboom on the kill.

And that's when Maura PMs me that she's transferred it to Zach.

I'm really curious as to where Eric yang got the investigation results he posted. The chain he was a part of was andres->ara->me->him...

Nope. megan was the one who investigated Daniel.
Damn mafia hit two investigators on Day 1.

Michikyo... seems to be handing out the shovel to town. It would have been reasonable for her to claim she saw shoveling andres and did it before actually reading through Daniel's post. Oh well I guess Mafia can't have everything going their way.

Huh, guess Eric draws proxy requests - I also asked him to proxy for Ara (technically Andres). I also asked Ksedlar to be my "superhero" proxy. I wanted to have half of my investigations not be controlled by town, so I just roleplayed a superhero who didn't want to tell too many people I was superhero. Apparently it worked.

It would have been awesome if we admitted to being investigators. It would have been like spring 1, only twice as powerful.

Anyway I think my brother provoked Ara's paranoia towards me. It seems like he's the False Shepard this game.

Seems like Daniel doesn't trust ksedlar nearly as much as he claimed to.

If there was any way to get andres shoveled before the mafia kill the townie with the shovel, it would cast suspicion on dgrazian and ksedlar, and if dgrazian gets smited by the prophet, he can lead a "lynch kseldar" mob. Then maybe town has a chance.

Also, Andres, we wouldn't have needed to work together for this one - it made sense in the spring, since we were two superheroes jointly posing as an investigator. Two investigators together don't really have any benefits any more than two investigators separate. It sucks that two of the three town investigators were killed day 1, though

WAIT THERE'S STILL HOPE.

So ara never told ksedlar who the prophets are. Shike is a prophet. Krue is a prophet. If they frame Shike, Shike can just smite someone and prove innocence. Conscription accusation? Smite Zach, who gave receiver results. Makes perfect sense as a target, and someone who smited a mafia obviously isn't mafia. Also, if they carry on with their "conscript Krue" plan, Krue is a prophet too, and "smite" is a lot shorter incantation than "i'm going to make you an offer you can't refuse"

Town has a chance. Town has a lovely, exciting chance. All hope lies in our divine prophets.

Oh, dude, Krue getting a "Smite" in mid-conscription would be excellent.

Daniel keeps badgering me about the mike going off. He's trying to figure out why no one has said anything yet.

This will probably turn out pretty badly for mafia. Zach accuses shike because of the microphone. Shike publicly smites someone and is proven innocent. Sure he might have been conscripted but then it would be silly to smite an innocent because you leave the town with one less mafia and another proven innocent. Mike/Rec pairs aren't fooled by Frame a Townsperson so the result is, Zach gets caught as mafia.

Hello.

So, Lucy, what happened to "First time players rarely get killed at the start of the game?"

>.<
