NPF Mafia: 8-Bit Edition

[Bailey]

and psycho, I am unconvinced.

you seem to think that people who do not show up because of time zone issues or what have you are mafia members because they have not posted.

now, if you really wanted to cast blame off of yourself, you would post first, so that when the time came to unveil your theory, it would look like you were not a likely suspect as according to your thought process.

for this reason, I Vote:Psycho Mantis

night everybody.

[The Wandering God]

How are we going to tell why someone is defending someone else?

It could be because they are a police officer, or they are both pirates. Oh dear.

And Psycho, what I meant was, all the pirates had to agree before a hit was done. If they weren't around, they wouldn't have killed anyone. And if they were around, they would be here, trying to influence us right now.

"Yes, my master plan to draw as much attention as possible then somehow get rid of it. If that was my master plan, wouldnt have been a lot easier and safer to just not draw any attention in the first place?

"Notice that NO ONE who hasnt posted have been accused. So far every accusation has had its basis in someone posting something "suspicious", thus the best way to avoid any attention is to simply not post and you are pretty much safe. That seems like a bad way to choose who to lynch. So instead of lynching the people hanging out in the shadows contributing nothing to the investigate we're going to kill the people actively trying to figure this out? Seems like a bad way to do things to me.

Furthermore you have accused both me and Kuji so far, putting you at the HEAD of the Inquisition team. Notice that I havent accused anyone of anything yet. So who's the one trying to start trouble by turning everyone against someone else instead of using logic to work out who is mafia? Oh, thats right, you.

Notice that both me and Kuji approached this from a logical standpoint and how quickly you reacted to accuse us. Seems like you're trying to keep us working off wild rumors and not as a team.

Wandering God, actually, they dont all need to be around. If a consenus is not reached, the Mafia leader can choose the target himself.

OOC: We have to be careful about this first lynching. We dont have a whole lot of information yet as the first hit was probably random. As we go along we can see who gets killed and work from there, but for now I think our best bet is searching the murder post for clues. We also have to be careful not to lynch the bodyguard or police chief during the first day. It could be anyone, including me

[Nique]

On a behavior level, I'm FoS at;

RMB for being accused and remaining silent
Kikuichimonji for obvious ability to manipulate the game if such was his goal.
Newb for his excessive amount of posts (in relation to everyone elses) yet staying below everyone's radar.
Physco Mantis - may be in league with Kiku. . Highly defensive.

We've really got no leads though. Any one of us could be monitering their behavior to appear more or less suspicious, just to take us down in a blaze of reverse phsycology and RPing. We need to examine the clues of the murder and see who best fits. Otherwise, it's just a crapshoot.

Also, we CAN afford to loose someone or even 3-4 people on a 'best guess' vote. That will help us narrow down the list of suspects, while still maintaining a higher population that the mafia.

Note: Callmeprismatic, is there anything you can tell us about how we should be reading any 'hints' you might be giving us in the murder description, or would that ruin the 'investigation'?

EDIT: I vote: The SSB intern. Why? Cause of death was stabbing, and SSB intern has a 'Forum Sword' in sig. Also, to quote his sig;
"Join 8-bit Mafia today and become a gangster, biotch!"

I realize I'm making obvious connections, and the 'Mafia' comment is in referance to this thread, but I feel I'm interpreting the clues pretty well... also, check his user title... 'dudeninja'. Ninja...? Swords...? Murder...? Gangsters...?

From what I've read in this noone can really bring up any evidence or good logic to accuse someone else.
and psycho the fact that you went to the trouble of being here first and looting the body and then you had a thought out counter-argument off the spur of the moment. Sorry, just a little to suspicious.
VOTE:Psycho Mantis

For a few seconds, I found it interesting that the two highest posters have at most recieved the FoS, but then it occured to me, that having posted more, there was more to look at when judging them, and so their guilt or innocence was obvious.

Also, Psycho, as for your accusation of me, no offense, but regardless of the true value of your insight, you may not use yourself as an example when saying that someone is trying to bump off people who give good advice. Being yourself, it is impossible for you to know how useful your advice is to others, and therefor you must let others make that decision.

As for my suspicion of Kiku, I laid out all of my thought processes in my various posts, he was able to argue against my points to my satisfaction, and I no longer suspect him.

You are grasping at straws Psycho, and merely confirming that I made the right decision when I made my vote.

[Psycho Mantis]

I'll just drop the roleplaying since you guys have decided to cruficy me for it. Try to bring a little humor to the game and people want to swing you from the gallows.

What a contradiction. No one has any good logic to accuse anyone but...IT WAS HIM!

Anyway the fact that most accusations have been based on someone "posting something suspicious" shows me that the safest course of action is to just avoid posting unless absolutely nessesary, which is unfortunate because I was hoping we could talk it over and come to a logic conclusion of who the killer might be based on clues and not have an Inquisition.(His name is William, William starts with a W, Witch starts with a W, He's a witch!)

That being said I vote for the person who has accused two seperate people with no basis: Vote: Newb

[The Wandering God]

The only way we can find the killers is through their words and actions. Unfortnately, we don't have a lot to go on right now. I smell a bloodbath in the works.

OCC: But that doesn't mean don't post either. If you aren't going to participate, then why join in? And if you don't want people to suspect you, don't do suspicious things. The point isn't to draw attention to yourself, but to cast it on others. And always make sure that nothing can be traced back to you if you are a pirate.

I didn't say me acusing you was based on good logic. But it is the best logic I or any one else can come with that I have seen. Argue me out of it and I will change my vote. It's up to you. There is a difference between good and best. The best can still suck. I'm not accusing you for RPing. I'm accusing you for the thought out plan if someone accused you for RP stealing. I mean you came back with the idea so fast it seemed thought out. And why would you think out a way to prove your innocent if you ARE innocent? Just my personal philosophy. Remeber I'm on a lot so convince me, please. Because I don't want to accuse the innocent.

See, this is why I got on Raiden's case, because he based he accusations on just Psyco rooting a corspe rather than facts. If your'e gonna base your vote on what's in my profile than I really can't respect you. wait.. murder?! that's nowhere in my sig! I'm sorry but I'll have do this: Vote:Nique
