Gods of Ancient Greece. Forum mafia game.

"Look I don't trust people who turn up after they died."

"Unreliable."

"Bloody unsporting."

"So, what, you want to kill me based on THAT?! You aren't pleased I came back."

"Frankly, no. Too many people not enough worshipers. And as they think you're dead ... no big loss."

"We'll give you a good send off."

"Oh great comfort that is!"

"Here pop into that and we'll let you go."

The soon-to-be-dead-again victim looks.

"Oh you HAVE to be kidding me."

It's a large boat, filled with explosive and fire-conducting materials.

And on the prow ... an emu.

"I hate you people, I really do."

Caluin Graye has been lynched. He was Cronos / Cronus. Mafia Bodyguard. Anti town.

It is now NIGHTTIME. You may not post for the next 24 hours. All night actions are to be sent to me as soon as possible.
 
"Mammoths?!"

"Mammoths?! What the ..."

The group looked at dead mammoths littering the centre of their meeting area.

"How can they fall from the sky?"

"What were they doing up there?"

"Cheaper and more reliable than British Airways?"

"Good shot though."

"Yes, unfortunate though."

"Well, less worshippers for us."

"Yes, that's good."

"So anyone want to help me move them?"

"In a bit. Let's make sure those three really are dead. Don't want another incident of them coming back to life."

"Good point."

"Game of conkers while we wait?"

"Sure. Dibs on The North American Tectonic plate."

Three Dead? at this rate there wont be anyone left in a couple of days.


“Joxer the Mighty
Roams through the countryside
He never needs a place to hide
With Gabby as his sidekick
Fighting with her little stick
Righting wrongs and singing songs
Being mighty all day long
He's Joxer—he's Joxer the Mighty!”
 
1, 4, 1, 3. I'm guessing we have killers with alternating night kills. I recon we can attribute 1 kill to gory, and 1 to a sk maybe? Of course gory never said if it was a 1 shot or more, so that could be wrong.

I don't see any reason to hold off on a lynch of Jcakes, but there's also no rush to lock that I see.
 
I suggest we don't lynch Jcakes today, even though he claimed scum and everything. Him leaving the forums is sad, him leaving this game in this way is sad, but eventually he will be modkilled and we won't have to waste a lynch doing it.

Three Dead? at this rate there wont be anyone left in a couple of days.

Gloating much?
 
Forget what I just said about cakes. I just re-read that he would indeed force us to lynch him.
 
Oh man, if your head gets any bigger it's going to explode!

Your gloating reeks of a good strong bussing. Especially the last part where you suddenly think it might be a good idea to lynch moar instead of the mafia you just caught red handed.
Not exactly. I said that if we think Moar needs to be lynched it should be sooner rather than later. However, I think she's town. I'm guessing she has this strange role to deal with the multitude of deaths that have happened. (yes I looked at today's results before posting)
Few questions.

1) Why did you decide to wait until Corax, Pyrotechnician, and Laarz had claimed before coming forth with this information? If you had already caught Jcakes in your snare, so to speak, what did you expect from the other three's claims? Were you somehow hoping that they'd also claim Artemis?

2) Why did you pick Hades as your fake claim? That's a ballsy move, since Hades is a well known deity and very likely to make an appearance. Why did you not go with a lesser known, but still evil, option?

3) With a one shot ability, you have to very carefully weigh the options ahead of you before using it or risk wasting it. You used it on night two, choosing Sathoris. Why so early in the game? Why Sathoris? Did you have reason to believe he was going to be targeted for NK?

4) Why did you feel the need to rush to claim early? You could have waited until after everyone else claimed and still come forth and gotten scum lynched. Doing so would have precluded the necessity of fake claiming Hades.
1)I just chose to wait until everyone was done. Part of the reason for the claim to begin with was to draw reactions from everyone on the "Hades is evil" thing. . .
2) This happened to work 2-fold. First of all, Hades was the first thing I thought of that was normally known as evil. I figured that would also be a good choice since that meant there was a decent chance the god was in the game (as you said). If it is a GOOD vs. EVIL type theme, and there was Hades in the game, then this MIGHT push the real Hades to counter-claim me. Some of those thoughts came after the fact, though.
3) I chose N2 because I wanted to use it as soon as possible. Before claims, but also at a point where I could judge who may be NKed. I picked myself because I felt that would make it so my ability wasn't wasted even if I died (this fake-claim scenario could still be caught). I chose Sath because I thought he would be killed. He acted somewhat strangely but he dropped a few things that seemed like hints as to investigations. I figured that whether or not this meant he was a cop, or was trying to draw attention as a bomb, or reflector, or whatever other bad things there are for mafia to target would be taken incorrectly by the mafia. I know that if I was bomb or some kind of equivalent I would do this very thing.
4) This kinda goes with answer 1. I wanted to see reactions to the name Hades.
Some thoughts after a night's sleep:

Blood Swap looks like it can be written as a bus driver but it only works on investigations and kills. It can be used to stymie an investigative role or coroner. We've seen claims/info for/from both an investigative role (Zokar the watcher) and coroner (FoE the JOAT and BA with coroner results). Looks a lot like rock-paper-scissors. Mafia beat a VT. Cop beats mafia. Godfather beats cop. And so on. If blood swap is the scissors to investigator/coroner paper, then it stands to reason blood swap has an alignment opposite of the investigator/coroner.

On the other hand, a townie Blood Swap ability can also be used as pharphis claimed. If successful, the killer will get the wrong name. Fake claiming a name that isn't safe to fake claim is a good way to get rope burn round the neck. If mafia happen to have an investigative role it can also be used to mess up that result but mafia investigative roles aren't exactly super common.

@pharphis - Why did you choose Sathoris? Why did you choose N2 to use a one shot ability? How close did you come to either choosing a different player or not using the ability on N2?
I answered most of this above.
I didn't think much about picking another person because I felt Sath was so obvious at the time.
Did this post serve a purpose? I see ~24 hours between this post and your claim. Meanwhile, you made ~6 posts in between.
This post was to make Jcakes uncomfortable.
Ankeli has been killed.
corax has been killed.
Goryani has been killed.
Has there ever been a game with both this many kills so quickly?

What were your reads on Ank and Corax?

Don't want to make it too easy for you. One thing I just noticed its after every day with multiple kids moar had a vote restriction. Coincidence? I think not. For the record we are only responsible for one kill per night
 
Let's find out if there is a Xena in the game. I highly, highly doubt Gory (assuming town at this point) used a kill and did not kill JCakes. Come on Kegs, you are better than that.

FoE: Would it be bastardly to never lynch JCakes and keep him here? Maybe mafia never submit a kill and he can never ever leave? Lol, still he is making the right choice to concentrate on work.

With as many kills as you guys had, I am a little surprised you weren't a night kill. I wonder what information your flip will give us, and why they chose to allow us to have that information.
 
May as well get some of these in early.

So 2 unaccounted for kills last night and N2? (Gory was the 4th killer on N2 remember). That seems a bit extreme even for WIFOM.

Vote: Jcakes

Oh please, I don,t even have a single kid!

Seriously, you are just trying to get me lynched again so you will live another day for your scum buddies?

My vote won,t count today, but I will cast it anyway, all of you can see that It,s true.

Could somebody please post a link to the claim list again. I lost it due to stupid network here and having to restart the iPad.

Vote: Jcakes
 
These night killings are getting out of hand. Tbh it's one of the wackier games I've been in so far (in terms of making sense of the night kills), so I can't make heads or tails of this.

I can't help but wonder if there should've been four kills tonight instead of 3. At least then it would be consistant. Or did we get a confirmation that the mafia bodyguard was elite mafia bodyguard (and thus 4 kills is the abnormal night)?

My brain is shutting down, time for some sleep. I'll be traveling to Oslo tomorrow, I've already informed TC about it, and will send him a PM if I feel I won't be able to contribute this day phase. Hopefully I can contribute a bit, but don't expect posts full of quotes, I'll be reading and posting from the phone a bit.
 
For the record cg was night killed, not hit by a pgo. I submitted the kill that night. I am due the sk is one of two people. The first is moar, the second I will reveal later tonight when I am not phone posting
 
Cakes has to go today, but I am going to wait to vote. I dont like FoE saying not to even though he flipped flopped.

Gory was Xena
Corax was Aphrodite
Ank was Prometheus.

I was also a part of a mason group. I am wondering if anyone else is? I am not revealing yet who was in it, and dont want anyone else to reveal who is in theres (yet)

One of my oddball theories is this is a game of masons and everyone is in a group. Want to see if it holds any water.

If gory was town I see absolutely 0 reason why he wouldnt kill JCakes. I dont like that whatsoever.

Korial is big on my scum list as well.
 
What were your reads on Ank and Corax?

Why not ask about gory? Was he confirmed town?

Ank: played a bit like last game, or at least he had very little useful town behavior that I would expect from town ank.

Corax: he lurked. hard. core. Virtually no read whatsoever.

Let's find out if there is a Xena in the game. I highly, highly doubt Gory (assuming town at this point) used a kill and did not kill JCakes. Come on Kegs, you are better than that.

FoE: Would it be bastardly to never lynch JCakes and keep him here? Maybe mafia never submit a kill and he can never ever leave? Lol, still he is making the right choice to concentrate on work.

That's s good pony, and something in hadn't thought about until you mentioned it. However, I think there is possibly a good explanation: bus driver. Or that gory only had 1 kill.
