That's true. A one-for-one trade is good for Town in Mafia. So being a Bomb, where you are no danger to Town investigators but kill scum upon a Nightkill, would be the one case where lying as Town is the best strategy. As bomb I would pretend to be a powerful PR, so that scum tries to kill me. Being killed is literally the only way of making the Bomb power beneficial for Town.
Paranoid Gun Owner might have been a bit more believable claim and would have been compatible with some paranoid but good-aligned Lucas Arts characters.
But it's always easy to know what would have been better afterwards. Under pressure on a mobile is a bad combination leads to errors. But at least we can now discuss the game here and make fun of the errors of the ones left in the game! ;-)

I was thinking of PGO but I was concerned that any action that would allow me to take a NK would be found out as soon as D2 came and I didn't shoot anyone.
I would have preferred not to make a claim, but that basically would have been me putting my scummies at a disadvantage without a real fight.

Yes. Taking one for the team is sometimes the best course of action. Especially as goon/vanilla. It's just unfortunate that it came to that so early. Well, better luck next game!

Now we have to call the vet about the dog tomorrow. She was in surgery at the vet today to remove a benign tumor from her foot, which is now leaking fluid. It's like all shitty things conspire with each other to happen around the same time.

I just read #266 Lift's request for me to provide a vote count. Good to know I'm merely 5 days late. Not my finest co-mod performance, I admit. Real Life has been kicking my ass these past two weeks and I'm pretty sure it will continue for at least the next two.
Edit: also, sorry for not commenting on any stuff but I think that until I read the game whatever posts I write will contain nothing but useless outdated musings.

#285 LordCephy gets confirmed Town for me. He not only owns but takes good care of a cat four cats (#294). No evil person does that.
A cat, however, may or may not be evil. For that same reason our dear friend Sanspoof(catte) isn't in the clear just yet. But Lord Cephy's replacement is just as good as an IC (Innocent Child) for me now.

joppo - I'm going to need to quote the movie Constatine: "Cats are good." If beloved Sanspoof (Catte) is on team mafia, then what we have here is a Cat Quest situation where a very evil master managed to earn the loyalty and devotion of a cat. Although saying that, it's probably more accurate to say that cats, as an entire species, have blue and orange morality: tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/BlueAndOrangeMorality Our sense of law and what's right isn't the same as theirs. There's four cats only because some of them passed away over the years, with the most recent being in May 2021. The maximum was eleven cats - seven that lived here plus a tween cat mom and her three kittens. The most number of cats that lived here full time (meaning no fosters) was eight.

Cats have servants! ;-) This is true for the most part. Dogs accept you as master just because you stuck a collar on them and brought them home. No offense dog owners, but that is your relationship with your pet. Okay, I'm not a dog person to the extent that I agree with the cat in Secret Life of Pets when she says that dog owners are weird.
Most of the cats did treat me like staff, but at least I'm their personal chef and not housekeeping. Three made me feel like I achieved enlightenment and was at one with the clouder.

Posting for the Mods - Dessimu (my replacement) said: I wonder if Joe had influence in Cephy unvoting Buck. The way Joe was interested and Buck wasn't, sits weird with me. lifthrasil: can I ask LordCephy this question via chat, or does that fall under the rule "No discussing game with no one, no where"? ... www.gog.com/forum/general/gog_mafia_76_trouble_in_the_lucas_arts_multiverse/post585I think this should fall under rule seven due 1) it's been about a week now since I pulled out, 2) I have access to the observation thread, and 3) it can give the appearance of impropriety. It doesn't matter that no great revelations have been made here.

And now it appears the two viable lynch options are both scum, and will hesitate to vote each other in light of Buck's untimely death.

I already told Dessimu via PM not to discuss the game with you Catventurer. That would effectively lead to a Hydra - one slot with two heads to think and that was not foreseen in the game design. So he's on his own.

If Joe and Catte are both mafia, it will be hilarious considering that my first serious looking post, I flip a coin between voting for Joe and voting for Buck... then later, I'm in total crazy cat lady mode when it comes to Catte/Sanspoof.

Catte is only slightly scummy, it could very well be RWarehall or Ambiti0nZ instead. razza seems unlikely.
Joe, on the other hand... When I claimed and started the argument with ZFR, I was looking for two things I would expect scum to do. One, if ZFR was town, they could jump on his wagon and try to lynch me as well the following day. I Focused more on that because of the fear of scum getting four free kills. Two, on the other hand, was to become quiet and let town do their thing, and is applicable whether or not ZFR was scum. Joe did immediately become quiet after I claimed, which obviously isn't conclusive by itself. However, his first post afterward was about a nitpick that already been discussed, and it felt odd time wise. But my big read on Joe is from EoD1 when he nearly caused no-lynch by stating we needed one less vote than we actually needed.

That's majorly suspicious...
Also I forgot to say this, sorry for thinking you were Team Mafia. Seriously, it was entirely because you came off as being much more experienced with the game than you stated, which made me think that if you're lying about something dumb like that, then you are the best suspect that I had on day 1 for being mafia because otherwise it's a lot of random voting. I'm guessing that they night killed you out of fear over what your role function might do.

My mistake, it was hypersomniac who gave the wrong count. Joe copied it. That changes a lot.

Mwhuahahahaha! Go, suck a lemon, mafia!
Hello to all on the thread. Hey, LordCephy! I think as vanilla's, we have served our purpose for the Town. Now I hope they catch remaining scum. From the top of my head, with no re-reads or whatever, I guess remaining scum are RWarehall and Razza.

I may have been in game just for a Day, but it was a fun Day. I am really curious to see how things unravel next. @cephy. Minutes or seconds before I got details of your character, I guessed you were mafia xD lifthrasil. How come mafia is an evil purple tentacle? Also, does anyone else think of Futurama: Beast with Million Backs?

Why does Babark always make himself a very lynchable target? Like, if there is no consensus - lets lynch Babark. Someone lurking? Lets lynch Babark. No idea, who mafia is? Lets lynch Babark. And given that, how is he still alive, seriously?

Also, does anyone else think of Futurama: Beast with Million Backs? Well, Purple Tentacle is a villain of one of the Lucas Arts adventures. As written in the OP, everyone lost their powers, if they had any. Some were given the powers of some other person, present or not (the PRs) but some were possessed by the souls of villains. Purple tentacle was one that offered itself as goon, because it has no special powers. Apart from having arms. If Town do their job and get around to lynching a scum again, eventually, you will see another Lucas Arts villain appear. But I won't spoil the game by telling you who, apart from Purple Tentacle, is secretly present in the game. Side note: the powers have nothing to do with the names that the players chose pre-game. The powers and alignments were distributed entirely randomly.

Interesting flavor. I was surprised how we tried to determine if Babark is Town, based on "green tentacle". And as Day closed, dedoporno's last entry almost made* me spit out dinner out of laughter. Read that, just change "green tentacle" with "Babark". I blame dedoporno for this. Town should get messed up now. Rolestopper Babark alive. If RWarehall is Town, mafia may have done a decent move seeing, how I called for his head, HSL suspected him. As in, good way to paint RWarehall as scum. But right now I starting to get angle upon angle, upon angle. ... Catventurer. I just read about why you asked for replacement. Damn. Sorry to hear about kitchen and family member. Is everything alright now? Apart from having needed to go to vet? ... @frost, Buck and Cephy - if we ever play again, you all will be treated as full-on, master players. Yay you :D Buck, congrats with your shortest mafia play 😂

I Currently believe scum to be two between RWare, Hyper, Joe and ZFR, With RWare and Hyper my best guess.
Is revealing info obtained the night you died considered spoiling?

If you had a result the night you died, then revealing it to us is kind of a spoiler. Because right now you, Cephy and me are basically Town observers, with same knowledge as any living Town Vanilla player.
Personally, I don't mind the spoiler. Lets see what Lifthrasil and the rest think

Apart from having needed to go to vet? ... @frost, Buck and Cephy - if we ever play again, you all will be treated as full-on, master players. Yay you :D Buck, congrats with your shortest mafia play 😂 Everything is fine. I went to the Korean market today, which is this really massive grocery store - came back with bok choy, leeks, tofu noodles, and chocolate covered gingerbread cookies. I would have bought seaweed salad too as it's really enjoyable during the summer, but Costco Business Center caries seaweed salad. Why buy one or two servings worth, when I can get a ridiculously big Costco amount at almost the same price.
Oh and that question that you wanted to ask me in relation to Joe - No, he didn't influence me at all at the time. Although if I had to take a guess about who mafia is at the moment, I would vote for either Joe or Hypersonic.
edit -- I'm really not a fan of the new players are not lynched on day one no matter what thing.
