Re: OT: SPF mafia round 7 - Return to Salem
Well, unless the last culprit decides to come out clean, I won't take any 'I'm a townie' claims for granted, but please, feel free to try
I thought about trying to coordinate my nighttime snooping with Ray's goon blocking, but it would be too easy for the enemy to lay low that way. So I strongly suggest that each of the townie powerroles makes up his/her own mind about who and what to investigate/block/safe. Let's not provide the enemy with our gameplan...
It might be interesting though if me and Ray each post a suspect list. That might give the townies some clues to our investigative lines should one of us wind up dead by tomorrow.
Please, don't draw any conclusions from the way I list these names... This is just chosen at random
Suspect
Thyiad - Jason said it right. Someone is doing a mighty fine job on framing her, or thyiad is indeed guilty. At the very least, she never ever fell completely off of my suspicious list
Bob - His lack of posts in what pretty much amounts to the end game becomes more and more suspicious.
Fried - He pretty much blended in through this game. Several bandwagon votes(Lister, NacRuno). His 'stay cautious' claim is easy, and impossible to prove false. So it would be the ideal cover for a mafia or undercover cop role. That increased my suspicion level once again, hence the change of thought.
More or less trusted
PureSummon - Pretty much placed himself in the suspect list, by spotting ray after he was active. But Puresummon knew that it was a risky maneuvre (JAedhann became suspicious for doing the same day 2), and still chose to reveal the information he gleaned from his claimed drinking role. This doesn't scream mafia to me, since it would be easier to, like fried did, claim to have stayed cautious.
Serdash - Comments have been made about his infrequent posting. I commented on it as well. However, I'd only suggest going after him if there are no more obvious suspects out there. His inactivity is forum wide, which really does suggest RL problems.
Trusted
Ray - Since no one counterclaimed, I believe he is the goon. Don't expect many long posts from him though, he is hosting a mafia game at the community forum atm as well.
Maatiarna - Her spotting Ray was dead on. Posts a lot, sometimes a bit flaky logicwise imho, but on the level as far as I can see. Not a likely Greed victim at all.
Jason - His posts have always been informative and helpful (apart from his first 2 on day 1 perhaps). He pointed out that it is needful to keep tabs on everybody, and made his case in point himself. He pretty much seems on the level, however,
if lukin turns up a cop, Jason might have been the Greed victim. His late claim makes this less likely, however.
Goltar - He claimed a drinking role on day 1, and outed Nac who turned out to be mafia. It could have been a ploy by a mafia member to gain the town trust, but he only went public with Nac's name long after the lynch on Smeg was locked in. That would mean he would have ended up as the last mafia member alive, which would be dangerous.
So I think he was, and still might be, on the level. However, as per Jason,
if lukin turns out to be an undercover cop, he becomes my prime suspect for a possible greed victim and will be moved to the suspicious list automatically.
Nazdakka - See Goltar for the gist of it. He came up as inactive on night 1(with 2 NK), so the only way he could be mafia is if he was turned with Greed. However, since both he and Goltar came clean with their role on day 1, chances are pretty likely that he was indeed turned with Greed if lukin dies an undercover cop. Apart from a very active day 1, he has pretty much blended in postwise, which might be an indication of a changed role.
