My Little Pony: Friendship is Mafia - Page 140

But the thing is, his actions back up the idea of him being able to turn town, and by wiping out the mafia first before turning town he'd help toward that victory.

All I'm asking is that you give him one more night to live before we try to lynch him.

Also I need RO to report if he got anything that we need to know using his PO scan.

OKAY WAIT I FUCKING
GOT
THIS
SHIT

What if the possessed ponies don't know they're possessed until a certain criteria activates?
What if that criteria is the death of Nightmare Moon?

What if... IF One of those possessed creatures wasn't a pony at all, but a cockatrice.
As the last remaining mafiate RPG gains access to their kill as well as his own, he can use that to kill two townies at once. But selectively restrains his SK kill while using the mafia kill to destroy a random townie, probably RO who is the last Pony that could confirm his identity. With the town thoroughly convinced they've already gained victory we move into the next night, with a sudden return of mafia kills. RPG comes forward claiming that he did target me with his other kill, which failed and indicates Fluttershy isn't his target for conversion.

Convinced that RPG is fine to leave alone for now we blindly turn against one another once more, and after a lynch and two town deaths at night, we lose. It's the Persona 4 style of tricking the player into thinking the game is over when it ain't. But I won't fall for that.
I reach out for the truth.

Didn't he say he'd die if he targetted the wrong pony for conversion, though? That'd be some serious evidence to try and argue against.

My immunity to night targeting means he has a relatively solid counterpoint in that he can argue that my immunity to all night target effects included the reversal of that targeting onto him.

Karesh, I think your targeting immunity may have an exception for the SK conversion since it is such an unusual even in itself, and to have it approach the only person it can't kill seems proper.

Don't try so hard to justify lynching rpgdemon. The whole theory of him being a dual scum is a stretch if the possession actually works in the way you think it might.

If it makes you feel any better we can have RO scan rpg tonight, that way if he doesn't make the conversion we can see if he really is possessed or not.

The most likely scenario is that rpg wiped out the last mafiate (thus removing the mafia kills completely) and now is hoping that we grant him enough time to let him become town and fully secure the town's victory.

Start thinking with friendship.

I am both immediately suspicious of people voting for me, and also not at all suspicious of them.

The reason I'm immediately suspicious is because there's no reason to lynch me right now.

The reason that I'm not is because, regardless of whether or not you have a reason, lynching me will end the game with a town win.

The reason that I am suspicious is because if there ISN'T a town win immediately after lynching me (Or right after the night I flip), it gives the people who were all, "KILL RPG!" an alibi. "Oh, I wouldn't have voted to kill him, exposing that there was still a Mafiate left, if I were scum! I just wanted the town to definitely win soon!"

It's OK, Fluttershy, your friends Twilight and Rarity are still here.

Please, just remain chill for one day, after that you can flip out and personally throw the cockatrice at the moon.

Gregness · 10-22-2011, 12:37 AM

I'm not entirely convinced the mafia's all dead since that requires luck that we, quite frankly, haven't had since game start.

Aldurin · 10-22-2011, 01:14 AM

Here's the facts:

1. Town is pretty much guaranteed a win no matter what.
2. It appears our main dilemma is whether we should win through The Magic of Friendship or through simply lynching off the SK.
3. People are still bitter from the SK kills and the general way things went at first.

I personally say that we don't lynch anybody today (unless a final mafiate is identified) so that we can see if the friendship option isn't a lie. If not, then we lose 1 townie and still win.
