Batman - The Dark Knight Mafia Game

How many mafia started the game? How many mafia have been killed? Which one(s)? How many mafia are left? How many townies would you have to be reasonably sure are townie to make mass claiming today beneficial?

Those questions are open to everyone but I specifically want to hear from a couple of relatively unknowns.

I feel ignored.

If there are two mafia factions in this game, I expect there are 4 mafia unaccounted for. Two teams of 4. Four have flipped. The poisoner should be hitman for the other team.

If there is one mafia + SK, I expect 2-3 mafia are unaccounted for. One mafia team of 6-7 plus a SK. It looks like the poisoner is the SK, given how awkward the mafia claims have been (lack of fake claims due to hitting masons).
 
Is it possible that one mafia team is wiped out?

Mal didn't fake claim. flubbbucket didn't fake claim. coju didn't fake claim. SI faked a claim but wasn't a charcter associated with Batman.

Mal could have faked Drixx' role.
flubbucket could have faked the roles of Drixx, pharphis or Valhauros.
coju could have faked the roles of Drixx, pharphis, Valhauros, Ankeli or djmbbandie.
SI could also have faked the roles Drixx, pharphis, Valhauros, Ankeli or djmbbandie.

Makes me think. What does anyone else think?
 
Myself and OMG.

I'm **** Grayson, the original, first, and coolest Robin. **** grew up to become Nightwing, a vigilante in his own right.

Then came Jason Todd (OMG's Robin), who was killed by Joker. I'm a bit fuzzy here, but I think the death was faked, and there was some kookiness going on afterwards with the Red Hood and stuff.

Third is Tim Drake (Thefranklin), who appears to be the current Robin.

Continuity wise, there are two more Robins that come later, but they seem to be playing the roles of "Sir Not Appearing In This Game".



While I wouldn't call it 'Brainwashing', Jason Todd is sort of off the deep end when he's resurrected. He's much more ruthless and cruel, and clashes with the Batman Family quite a few times. He doesn't consider himself a bad guy, but he's definitely not one of the good guys. Think... Punisher.

I'm not aware of **** Grayson or Tim Drake being brainwashed and turned to evil, but my DC lore is weak. I wouldn't be surprised to hear it's happened.

Val was Damian Wayne. I find this large amount of Robins odd. Kinda doubt any if them are on the same mafia team though.

@kestegs - Have you given watching results yet?

No. I watched myself and got no results.
 
I'm feeling ignored too, Goryani, like i'm a doddering old man unable to use my faculties correctly, like I need help pushing the lever in the voting booth.

Two mafia's with 4 each, wouldn't that be kinda overpowered, Goryani? Didn't kegs say he knew who Drixx was? If ph,val or ankeli were scum wouldn't that make for a useless claim?
 
Count as of #1007:

6 to lynch, 7 to lock

Vote:
FredOfErik(3): Moar, kestegs, Goryani
BipolarChemist(2): Caluin Graye, thefranklin
Thefranklin(2): Gwaihir, Laarz
Moar(1): crawlingdeadman

Approximately one hour remains in this day phase.

omg will be mod killed if he fails to make a post before days end.
 
I guess Gwahir would have lost it if his target died?

Correct.

SI wasn't mafia? I didn't vote Mal early and I am scum for that? I also didn't vote cdm early, but chose incorrect... assuming cdm is town. Plus, me not voting early helped prevent an early lock on cdm. And you assume omg is town, too.

I didn't have a ton of time to look a the details. I just looked at who was lynched and who was on the lynch. And so how should I count cdm and omg if we don't know their roles? SI is a fair point though.


The weird neutral that gave out holy icons that did nothing (Gwaihir had that role?) but count for a neutral win condition would notify the recipient they received an item.

True. And fun.

So Gwaihir, you think Mr Franklin is more scummy then the guy who tried to kill me.

Yes. I thought you were faking a claim and delaying claiming because kegs said he knew the likely doc, so I could see someone else thinking it. On the other hand, mafia would know you are alive, so it could be he just got the NK power and started to use it, which would account for the lack of NK. Or it could be we have finished off one mafia team.

Is it possible that one mafia team is wiped out?

Mal didn't fake claim. flubbbucket didn't fake claim. coju didn't fake claim. SI faked a claim but wasn't a charcter associated with Batman.

coju could have faked the roles of Drixx, pharphis, Valhauros, Ankeli or djmbbandie.
SI could also have faked the roles Drixx, pharphis, Valhauros, Ankeli or djmbbandie.

Makes me think. What does anyone else think?

Drixx and Val were masons. Claiming a mason role is very, very risky. dj's role would also be a very shaky claim after he hinted at batwoman. That means Ankeli's and pharphis's roles are really the only two safer claims out there, both of which were killed by the poisoner. That to me says that flubb, coju, and SI are likely on the same team. So it all depends on which team Mal was a part of.

Forgot to quote it, but thanks for the Robin info CG. That makes me think omg would be the odd Robin out, especially with his play.

But as we are getting close to day end, and FOE is second on my list.

Unvote: thefranklin
Vote: FredOfErik
 
Noodle? I was wondering why Pyros post did not mention you. Is Pyro psychic?

Actually you are correct, Noodle was also in danger of being mod killed, I only remembered omg from my quick skim of the posts though, probably because he was the last post last day phase.

Count as of #1015:

6 to lynch, 7 to lock

Vote:
FredOfErik(7): Moar, kestegs, Goryani, Gwaihir, Laarz, Caluin Graye, Noodle
BipolarChemist(1): (Caluin Graye), thefranklin
Moar(1): crawlingdeadman
Thefranklin(0): (Gwaihir), (Laarz)

FredofErik has been locked, he will be lynched at the end of this day phase.

My thoughts for this post only assume that there are two teams, the poisoner is the hitman for Team #2, poison is a night ability.

Jason Maher was poisoned and killed.
kestegs claims JM part of Mason group.

Therefore, if kestegs were to be lying and part team #2, then Jason Maher would not have been part of his team. This does not hold up, therefore we can safely presume that kestegs is not mafia team #2.

coju was hitman for team #1. If kestegs was mafia team #1, then that'd make Noodle, Jason Maher, CDM, and coju all team #1 as well. I suppose it is possible that CDM is team #2, but then that'd make Flubbucket team #1, so either way, that makes for a five man team. This does not seem likely to me, so we can then safely presume that kestegs is not mafia team #1.

Therefore, kestegs is, in my eyes, confirmed town at this point, as is Noodle. (Side tangent: Single mafia team and scumstegs would mean coju; SI; Flub; Male; stegs; Noodle; Jason, CDM. Eight scum; that's a bit high, seems very unlikely to me.)

Bad Ash is a semi-verified treestump, as votes will not land on him. Remove him from the mix.

Moar claims to have stolen a serving platter from Laarz. Laarz hasn't yet chimed in whether or not he had a serving platter to steal in the first place. Let's assume for a moment that he hasn't said anything because there's no contradiction. So either Moar and Laarz are both scum, or both have fairly decent alibis for last night. Additionally, Moar visited someone the night someone else died via poison.

omgwtfbbqpwned shot someone during the day. Also, he's likely to get mod-killed, so he's a non-factor. (Sad; didn't really want him to simply stop playing.)

Laarz has been seen visiting people at night who haven't died.

Gwaihir has proven multiple times that he can control a person's vote.

BPC was tracked on Night 3, with no result. Admitted to having tried to kill Laarz, and Laarz confirms a self-protect. Probably not the poisoner. I still think he's scum.

All of the above people are off the list.


Goryani claims tracker. Most reliable result is seeing Jason Maher visit Goryani. It's possible that Goryani took an educated guess after having killed JM and gotten the cop result. Unlikely. But possible. I highly doubt Gory is poisoner, but there remains a possibility, therefore he stays on the list.

I have no verifiable claim. I've been "tracked" by one person, and shown to not have used an ability that night, even though someone still died. Still, no claim means I'm a good candidate.

Crap, running out of time. Gotta be fast now.

CDM could have claimed a redirect action from someone else on his team. None of the scum flips so far have really fit someone who switches targets, though. Actually, maybe SI's Inverter? Possible.

FoE: No time, he's getting lynched anyways.

thefranklin has no verifiable claim yet. I highly suggest having him prove his ability tomorrow, and if he doesn't follow through, lynch him for it.


TL:DR; poisoner is FoE, Franklin, Goryani, CDM or me. That would be my preferred lynch order. I still think only one mafia team, and poisoner is SK variant.
 
Day 4 End:

In an alleyway in Gotham...

FredofErik was lynched, he was:
Unknown

Crawlingdeadman has died.

Elsewhere in Gotham…

Noodle thought he was safe, he thought he would be able to avoid the same fate as the others, but this was not the case. He was next to fall victim and unfortunately for him, there was nothing that could save him.

Noodle has died.

Omgwtfbbqpwned has been modkilled, he was:
Red Hood (Jason Todd) – Town – Day Vigilante (X-shot)

It is now Night 5. Night will last 24 hours.

Please submit Night Actions to me as soon as possible.

Please keep in mind that the deadline for submitting night actions is no later than one hour before the start of the Day Phase.

Day 5:

“Another quiet night tonight, I would say things are almost getting back to normal, but there is one thing.†– Says Gordon

“What would that be?†– Asks Batman

“The unknown man you brought in yesterday, we had to let him go. He wouldn’t say who he was, he had no identification, but we didn’t have anything to charge him with either. Who knows, maybe he’s not involved but maybe you can find out more about him.†– Says Gordon

“I’ll look into it.†– Says Batman

No one has died.

FredOfErik is alive.

It is now Day 5 for the next 48 Hours. With 9 players alive, it takes 5 votes to lynch and 6 to lock the lynch.
