My Little Pony: Friendship is Mafia

[Karrrrrrrrrrrresche]

Also I feel like stating that if there is a bodyguard/doctor role he should not use his/her powers on me.
At all.
Ever.

Don't even think about it.

Erm, I'm not sure what I just witnessed there...

Either this is a really cunning ploy or... I dunno.

[Sifright]

I'm the town vanilla doctor, I don't have any powers basically I'm supposed to be senile according to my role and the only person i could remember was karesh as fluttershy

Edit persumably the only townies with powers will be the ones are elements of harmony.

It is the most cunning of ploys.
There's really only one flaw involved and that's that you all might consider the possibility that both I and sif are some sort of malignant roles that have banded together to protect one another through this convoluted roleclaim scheme. But this isn't really the sort of attention a mafiate wants to draw to him/herself I feel. Either I or Sif can be rolechecked by an investigation and it would out both of us as involved in the mafia (The same might be true of cult, but only if there was for some reason no night 0 mafia kill but a cult recruitment)


Thus, Sifright is at no more risk than he was before and I am at far less because there's less chance of me being lynched and NO chance of a night death.
Of course, the Mafia might think I'm bluffing and call it and try to kill me anyway, but I don't think they're that stupid.

Hawk, half the forum still calls me earl. That's why you thought I was an inactive.

[Sifright]

given that our status as town will be confirmed come day 2 we need to act in concert, for voting myself and karesh are much less likely to vote for a townie to be lynched even with out knowing others roles for one simple reason. when the mafia vote for a lynch it will ALWAYS be a townie they choose.

Also I'm sticking my vote for Nikose his reasoning for wanting a lynch on my self or gem was very tenuous.

[Sifright]

To further explain basically if my self and karesh choose to lynch a person and every one bandwagoned with us we are much less likely to hit a townie than if randomly vote as there are more mafia to work as a cohesive group.

Not so much really. Once we're through today the possibility that you get absorbed by the cult exists. Admittedly it would be a weird choice for them since they're usually seeking power roles, not vanilla townies.

[Karrrrrrrrrrrresche]

Oh, of course there's also the possibility that given the way we did this little reveal that you're not telling the truth in the first place.
Since I walked you through telling us what name you were given and then revealed myself for confirmation, you might just be a mafioso that picked a name out of a hat. I doubt you'd have ever expected the role to immediately be claimed as it has, all you'd need is a way to set yourself up as an unconfirmed town role. The thing you're trying to claim is weak enough that a investigator might not consider it important enough to check out immediately.

[Karrrrrrrrrrrresche]

Actually I'd realized what I just posted as I thought this little plot through but now that I think further from the town perspective there's also another option: you and I are both lying and entirely independently attempting to fool the other two parties involved.
Just to state it out: I might be a Serial Killer while you're a mafioso, and both of us just happen to get involved in the same lie, gambling that the other is actually a townie and an investigation will go through the other.

I'd thought the best way to secure my role would be to enact the investigation of Sif and go from there at a point when the Investigator felt comfortable spreading the info around. But with that in mind I guess there's really no way to confirm it short of sacrificing two whole investigations and possibly the investigator himself.
