Effulgence Mafia Game Thread

[BlueSkySprite]

I was worried about it, but I think from who he said he'd used his powers on, jalapeno_dude is probably mafia? Because modrony, Alphabeta, DanielH, Ozymandias (now Anthusiasm), Alphabeta, Alphabeta, and Aestrix is almost entirely made up of dead people and one (probably) vanilla townie. The only one (I think) that was confirmed before death was DanielH (I think? That's the one where he tried to make pistachi0n into one of his Best Friends, right?). All the rest are people who can't say whether they were blocked, unless Anthusiasm actually has a power. And also he kept blocking (according to him) Alphabeta, who was town and also who could have helped us investigate. I think it would make more sense as a townsperson to use a roleblocking power on a variety of people to see if that stops the night's murder.

For the math and decision making:
Currently at 5:3 (last minute preview change: 6:2) = JD:P. Kuuskytkolme hasn't voted yet. If she doesn't vote there will be 8 votes without any being stolen or transplanted.
In order to successfully avoid a tie or lower and bring who we intend to ~~JUSTICE~~ it would need to be 6:2 (oh oops that was my math for the last one). If everyone votes, it needs to be at 7:2 because after one is blocked it is 6:2 and after one is transplanted it is 5:3, but the other way around with 6:3, after one is blocked it is 5:3 and after one is transplanted it is 4:4, which is a tie. Ties can turn out well because THE COIN is just and kind probably about 50% of the time, assuming 1 town and 1 mafia, or 1 powerful mafioso and 1 less powerful mafioso, but it would be nice not to depend upon it.

I think today will probably be over soon because I'm pretty sure we're at or near majority.
Ooh! In case this makes a difference: I would like all of my voting power for today to be directed at jalapeno_dude, rather than one vote for him and one for Paradox

[pistachi0n]

Why do you think kuuskytkolme hasn't voted?

(I won't sheep you again if that's what you're worried about)

[BlueSkySprite]

Probably timezones and uncertainty would be my guess?

[Thatwasademo]

Change vote: jalapeno_dude.

[pistachi0n]

We now have 6/8. Does this end the day??

[Shoal]

so that's...everybody except for kuu and jalapeno_dude himself. and we know that kuu is not scum. and we all think there is more than one scum left. so it could be scum sheeping the rest of us to not stand out as the only person not voting jalapeno_dude. or it could be that both(?)all(?) scum are on this wagon.

As we get closer to LYLO (I don't think we're there yet but we'll probably be there within a couple days), we got to be somewhat suspicious that if we all agree to something it's because the killers don't mind that thing we're agreeing to.

[pistachi0n]

Yes. The almost universal support for killing jalapeno dude makes me less suspicious. However, I think him and Paradox are both mafia. Maybe they think it's inevitable that one of them dies today.

[jalapeno_dude]

Not that I expect this to help, but I will state unequivocally that I am not mafia, that I do not have access to any coordination channels, and that I have not killed anyone in the course of the game. Also, I think I am done posting here for the rest of the in-game day.

[jalapeno_dude]

Actually, on second thought, fuck the "being coy and mysterious" thing. I want to fulfill my victory condition, and that's not the best way to do it.

Hi guys, I'm Chainsaw. Nice to meet you. I'm a serial killer. I am *not mafia*; I win iff I am alive at the end of the game. My power works exactly how it says, except it's torturer's control. All of my night actions were as I said, except last night when I paralyzed kuuskytkolme (for obvious reasons from my point of view, I hope). The fixation on alphabeta was because he mentioned the existence of serial killers. For obvious reasons, these two posts made me LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL.

But see, here's the thing. Apparently I'm a really shitty serial killer. Each night I am told whether I am allowed to be active (and attempt to kill someone) or must stay home tonight (and can't kill anyone). I have no idea how active nights are determined, but I suspect random chance. So far I have been active exactly once, on night 3, and I attempted to kill kuuskytkolme. Oops! Well, at least I now know why that didn't work...

So yes, I am decidedly not pro-Town. But I am worth, depending on how you count, somewhere between 0 and (1/7)*(total number of mafia left alive) of a mafia. This means that if you think Paradox is a mafia with a higher probability than that, it is in your interest to kill Paradox now and me later. If you let me live, and I happen to get to kill someone tonight, there's egg on your face, and of course that's what I'm hoping will happen. But if that doesn't happen, you've just basically guaranteed yourself a pro-Town win, even if there's more than one mafia member out there (which I strongly suspect is the case).

[Thatwasademo]

To whichever of jalapeno_dude's imagination or Alicorn is responsible for the above monstrosity of game design: What the hell.

Well, he just claimed as lethal anti-town, so we need to kill him. Especially in case he's lying and actually mafia, which I still assign significant probability because see above re: what the hell.
