Re: Zombie invasion Mafia game.
Feysal, what's with the lack of posting? Are you feeling unloved that I'm not referring to you by your pet name?
I'm here, I'm here. I'm afraid calling me by pet names would not make me post any more either. There are just too many things going on at my end for me to concentrate on this game properly, I'm kind of regretting joining it in the first place.
Reading through the Ankeli-Thyiad train wreck was not much fun, particularly when neither of them would've been my choice to lynch today. Ankeli's claim of being one of the scouted civilians would've made him town, and that claim was confirmable, meaning it was not the sort of claim scum would want to make. And don't tell me that he would've been scum looking to survive for one more day or two, Ankeli in fact encouraged the other scouted civilian to confirm his claim. If Ankeli was not one of the civilians, then the other civilian could've exposed him as scum immediately when one of them claimed. What he said and did was almost suicidal for scum, and therefore I think we lost a townie in him. I don't think he was a doctor, but we'll find that out soon.
As for Thyiad, I'm much less certain about her alignment. I've only played with her in one game where she was town, despite my suspicions otherwise, and her posting style here has been similar, so I don't have much of a reason to suspect her either.
As for our present suspects... I'm not really getting the Sathoris case. He is being aggressive, but for him I find that more of a townish sign. I've seen him play more subdued as scum, and I think his comments make sense. The case on Valhauros was a valid one, even though it resulted in a mislynch. His claim was also not very significant, certainly not the sort a panicked scum would make to save himself at the last moment. The detail of his power also disturbs me... even if the mafia had killed a scavenger whose identity he could be using, I doubt they could know that precisely how much food a scavenger could find. Also, if he got it wrong, it would be simple for a real scavenger to out him. I think that claim makes him town.
Krazeyivan is a possibility. I'm definitely not getting the obvtown feeling I had from him last game, and I've no more experience with him to draw from. Some of the things he has said today do sound odd to me.
I'll be online for the rest of the day, I think I need to use the search function and reread certain players in isolation. The ability to do that is the one thing I miss from the mafiascum.net forums.
