[Mafia] Nowhere Special - COMPLETE

By GhostofNobodyInParticular, in Star Wars: Armada Off-Topic

I would also like to reiterate what Ginkapo said, and express it a bit more forcefully: In this game, mass claims are worthless.

I say this 'cause almost literally no one seems to have gotten this. Stop relying on the flavor to ID the scum for you. IT WON'T HAPPEN .

We realized that a bit too late

No kidding. :)

You should have realized it when Gink first stated it.

I'd explain more, but the info's classified. Wait till the end and read it all in the AAR. :D

Silence makes me suspicious. I'm watching very carefully.

I'm looking over some posts now. I might have something to contribute shortly.

My intuition tells me that we've overlooked something. Something is off. I'm not sure what it is, so I'm looking over the posts again.

Starting my long work day and I might be busy when time expires, so I guess I'm voting very soon...within the next 30 minutes.

I'm starting to put together my own "list" of who reads town and why. I'm not going to share it yet...I want to sleep on it and look at it again in the morning when my mind is fresh.

I'm alive. :D

Catching up since my last post. Be back shortly.

I'm still pondering my list so I'm not ready to make it public.

My posts will be infrequent until I leave work in 4 hours, but I'll try to keep up.

Sorry guys, been a really rough afternoon at work. I'll be on after I get out of here in about 90 minutes.

We're all waiting....Had to poke fun. :)

I'm really hoping that you are just a masterful rebel pulling our strings from the moment you claimed "poet" :)

Sorry to disappoint you Ninj, but I'm not. I'm working on my post. I appreciate your patience.

@CaribbeanNinja , here's my "ground breaking" post. :D

Let me start with on a serious note to everyone here. I sincerely apologize for my spotty participation since Wednesday. I signed up for the game with the expectation that I would have a fairly normal work week. Usually I would have time to read posts and to respond, but this week has been far from normal. I realize that my absence has had an impact on the game, more so than my newbie mistakes. I hope that you all will accept my apology, and it's my hope that I can contribute something to the game with my thoughts below.

I'm not rebel scum. No deception...no brilliant plays. I paraphrased Stanley's description when I wrote my first post. The actual description I received reads: "Your name is Stanley Anecdote, and you are a loyalist! Hearing of the horrible attack you volunteered to fight the rebels however you must, even if you die!" That's it, other than alignment and town. There is nothing about winning, so it seems Stanley is a loser. I created his job as a poet after asking Ghost some questions. I chose to make him a poet because of his last name. I just wanted to have some fun with him, within the context of the game. Maybe I should not have done that...so chalk it up as another newbie mistake.

I started working on a list last night after I caught up with yesterday's posts. This is what I came up with:

Definitely Town: Me, Truthi

Possibly Town: Nor, Vis, Ovi, Mad

Undecided: Ninja, Oni, Mood

Today I moved Oni and Ovi to the Definitely Town category. I moved Nor there also. Here's my current list:

Definitely Town: Me, Truthi, Ovi, Oni, Nor.

Possibly Town: Vis, Mad

Undecided: Ninja, Mood

I'll offer a few explanations:

I've seen enough from Nor to convince me he's a townie.

I caught Ovi's cop reference and I thought he might be town. Turns out he was.

Vis and Mad seem townie. I'm watching them chat with each other. I'm learning a lot, but I'm still looking for more.

I'm undecided on Ninja and Mood. I need to study each more, though I'm feeling a little Force tingle regarding Mr. No First Name Normal as possible rebel scum.

I am also currently working on a hypothesis regarding Ovi's murder. I think his cop reference was picked up on very early in the game by the rebel who killed him. And I think there is a hint regarding who this rebel is buried in an innocuous post. I also have an idea about the roleblock. I'll be watching tomorrow's posts to see if my thoughts are correct.

Lastly,

I wanted to vote this morning, but I didn't get to. Duty called and the hammer dropped faster than I expected, hence my mistake.

That won't happen again.

####! Just realized I edited my previous post for a spelling error. Wasn't even thinking.

Ok so who will we kill?

I think I owe you all an apology. I misinterpreted Gink's post and believed there were 3 until this day, and led us all into a pointless track. Sorry guys

A hard question, unless we lynch a mafia, we got virtually no chance of a win

Please someone disprove me here. My assumption is that moodswing could know the proper wording for a vanilla text somehow despite being a mafia. Otherwise he is indeed a townie and I can only make a shot in the dark and hope for hitting a mafia.

We were just told this will lead nowhere, also, if we went that path again, everyone has shown they know the wording, it will only mislead us

CNinja - my guts have been consistently wrong, but they are strongly screaming your name (or I'm just hungry)

You know, if Norell does turn out to be town, I'm a little worried about Onidsen and Visovics.

I look for interactions between players, so I wanted to explain my vote. @CaribbeanNinja and @Visovics have an odd back and forth. At first I noticed the above. Both saying they suspected the other, but not mentioning any real reasons. Then a day later the following:

I'd assume his flavour only says his title, mine does the same

Vis changes his mind on me....

On 6/29/2017 at 0:41 PM, CaribbeanNinja said:

Okay, I have a first and last name, however I think I see what you two are seeing...

If y'all are cool with Mood, I think that Onidsen deserves the most scrutiny right now.

And CNinja follows suit directly after. Odd to follow someone you suspect, but hey. It may just be a crazy coincidence. This and a few other reactions I have seen were why I went that direction.

I just wanted to point it out now since it may have looked like I was voting @CaribbeanNinja in anger or retaliation. I actually had a train of thought before it was derailed. And honestly, this has been a very hard game, at least for me. And I'm on the road for the next 6 hours or so, so I may not be in for a bit, just fyi....

That's fine @moodswing5537 , but I promise I am town. Search your feelings. You know this to be true.

And as I said before, I forgive you.

I don't think I'd ever say that as town...

On @moodswing5537 's note, CNinja also followed my lead on D1, when I pointed at Norell for putting Ovi on L-2

This is really starting to look sketchy...

Then you are absolutely wrong. History will prove me right. I just don't know who the **** is a rebel and it pisses me off.

Oh and @Visovics you mentioned way back, that you were blocked last night. Why don't you tell the class what you did?

Morning all. :)

I'm looking at Ovi's posts after Truthi was murdered and before his own demise. I think there might be clue there.

I would be interested in hearing about this.

IF you are so interested,here it comes

I asked my secretary to warn me if our cop Mr. Sheep came under threat, although she fell asleep and I woke up to find a dead cop. I had the intent of protecting him at night, since I am Sir Dre, the medic of the match.

Happy now? I believe that the scum picked up what I dropped in the end of last day, so no point in hiding anymore (I ended up as subtle as a wrecking ball on that breadcrumbing attempt)

I actually asked Nippy if I was roleblocked, and he answered me that this was the best flavour he could incorporate into it
