Bastard Politician Mafia

[Pip Boy]

I would agree, Ravashak, but if I were a party leader and I were smart, I would have learned from Zilla's corpse on a noose that that ploy didn't entirely work. I think it is much more likely that A) Tendronai is a Cult head and/or B)Cephrir is a cult head while Truce is just a cult member or other special person trying to confuse the hell out of people.

What we ought to do from here is go ahead and Lynch Tendronai, then Lynch Truce, and keep a close eye on what happens during those two days to see if anything suspicious happens that might shed more light on me and/or cephrir in our own evil plots.

Smartass Double-Post response to Fenris Wolf:

Actually, yes, they do, if what I am told is correct, mafia players are encouraged to double post rather than editing to make it harder for people to cheat at mafia games by editting older posts. Maybe I'm mistaken, but my understanding was that that is the case.

You're claiming the media is fallable in your case but not in others?

Of course it's fallible in others' cases as well. But not only has Tendronai been investigated Illuminati by two sources, but more than once we've started looking like we were going to lynch him and it somehow never happened. Obviously the media isn't always right, but I don't think anyone will disagree that we should take their reports into consideration and that they've been giving us decent leads so far.

Explain to me how the media can be right about Tendronai and yet wrong about you? Because you explained multiple tiems that the Tend lynch was because "He's been confirmed twice by media".

Well obviously I know the're wrong about me. I can't very well be expected to pursue myself as a suspect. And I haven't really gone after anyone for media-related reasons who hasn't been hit by media twice or more. Incidentally, I think every time that's happened they've been right.

I beg to differ. It's called scumhunting. Having multiple suspects is a good thing. It gives you somewhere to go if you're wrong.

You say that like it's a bad thing. I'm not "planning to lynch them later"... I can't, I'm just one person. I do intend to pursue the possibility of lynching them in a later day, and possibly not go all the way with it. For instance, Megaman is doing a remarkable job of convincing me not to want to lynch him later.

My only purpose isn't survival. I'm trying to find the cult heads. If you ask me more people should be thinking and finding suspects rather than following just the easy targets that everyone else is after. And yeah, it's a very distinct possibility that they're both cult heads. Like I said, I'm wavering on Megaman partially just because he seems so clueless, specifically about how cults work.

I'll finish this later.

[Truce]

I'm still curious why you're so absolutely sure that I'm not the cult head.

If Tendronai turns out not to be the cult head, will you vote for me then? Because, if so, I'll totally help you lynch him today.

Here, see?

Unvote: Cephrir
Vote: Tendronai

[Cati]

While I see we have a lot of suspects for lynch right now, I'm going to stick with Tendronai right now. Mechanics-wise, it seems to be best lynch in my mind. If he gets lynched and turns out to NOT be Illuminati, I think that would greatly affect all our assumptions about how the media works. To do any of the others, I'd feel better having some more media investigations on the others before I try to make a choice there. I also agree with everyone that people have been acting... bizarre. Distraction-y. All "Don't look at Tendronai, look at meeeeeeee!" So yeah, I'm good with my vote placement right now.

However, if not Tendronai, Megaman is striking me as acting suspicious, but the "killing blow," so to speak, is Moogle saying he couldn't cult him. I'd hate to vote him while he's in ban-land though, but the vibes? No me gustan. But he's on my list.

Truce -- I agree with everyone who thinks Truce is a cultist/distraction. I'm going to ignore him for now. Worrying about him makes my brain hurt.

Smarty -- I do like his thinking. Not sure if I like it enough to trust everything he's saying. Still, he's not really on my mental lynch-list right now, and I think it would be good to try out some of what he's saying.

Cephrir -- He sounds reasonable to me. Like Smarty, I don't see any reason to lynch him on perceived scumminess, at least.

Could someone tally up the votes, please?

That's the funniest forum thing I've seen in a while now. As it comes to game, it will be as if he never existed.

Majority lynch is now 10, Deadline lynch is now 5.

I'll get you guys a vote count between today and tomorrow. To be honest, you guys have gone fucking nutty with votes, so it'll be a big pain in the ass.

Or alternatively I'm legitimately suspicious. Hi OMGUS.

And I'm pretty sure Moogle being unable to cult you is a damn good reason to suspect you of being a cult leader.

Pssst. That's not good play.

@Oron:
Tendronai- a lot
Cephrir- a few
Truce- a few

There ya go

Edit: Wow, Fenris was serious (or at least what passes for serious around here). Lulz.

God damnit that was the most confusing 4 pages of vote-tallying I've ever seen. Someone owes me something.

Something may be wrong, but I didn't catch SMB actually unvote in there. However if this is correct (and I'm pretty sure it is), we need one more for a Tend lynch.
