It's cold this morning, so I put a baby blanket on my cat. He looks really cozy. <3

"Wouldn't it be nice if you could stop this Sayaka lady from doing anything funny?!" Hazama, chilling in bed at home, asked Misa, all sparkling (even through telepathy). Misa, who was playing the old OutRun 2 SP machine in the local arcade as the car she sat in rocked and rumbled, tilts her head in confusion. "I-I don't think I can do that." Hazama got lifted her body up. "Like, you could just grab her or something. She's gotta be playing some important role!" Misa answered back, this time actually speaking it out loud. "Sorry, I can't hear you over the tune of Shiny World!" Although Hazama was prepared for going out, she grumbled about Misa's inability to roleblock that Sayaka lady. JoeSapphire has been dispatched against Atlo.

Oh! That gave me an idea. Team Mafia needs an official villain song. As shown in Disney movies, all villains need songs. Also we need the following evil merchandise: - large comfy swivel chairs - fluffy white cats to pet while plotting everyone else's demise: jamesbond.fandom.com/wiki/Blofeld%27s_catI'm mostly AFK for the rest of the day to watch ice skating and quaint baking shows. (Priorities!)

Telika's Post #630: "I *think* cop+bodyguard may be a tad OP for town, balance-wise (to the point where I suspected, this night, Scene to lie about his role because of that). Meaning that if Buck hadn't been Godfather, then claiming cop would have been an interesting bet."
Because of this post, I think that a lot of the town roles are going to be vanilla - meaning that once Alto is taken out on Night 3, the town might be crippled in terms of power roles.

Oh, I made the posts I did so that if Alto investigated me, it looks like I'm trying to take out good guy Town Tracker.
If it is me, most of the town should be vanilla and sitting on their butts all night. Yog is claiming to be the second mason. He can be confirmed to be sitting on his butt on night 3.
If Alto investigated you and takes you out, then I'll do night kills in the order of Alto, Yog and Catte to take out all the confirmed town.

Dedo's Post #692 means that this is going to end up being my last game here period. Nobody is going to believe that I got stuck on mafia side AND don't want anymore Frosty drama. There's no point in playing if you're going to just get lynched every single game without fail.

but i think he'll understand that you're not being machiavellian, we're just unwilling villains trying to give them a good game

They just don't know me well enough to pick up on any of them.
For Example - The post that Dedo things I might behaving in a manner that is emotionally manipulative... I had unintentionally revealed the fact that I'm really not into this game at the moment to the extent that I'd rather be dinking around trying to get a game to run on my laptop that is known to outright hate integrated graphics chipsets and refuse to run on them. It is apparently possible to force the game to run by disabling all the videos, but I'm not having luck so far. I may also be running into a DRM issue as this is an old disc version that may or may not have SafeDisc DRM, which only complicates matter further because I'm not getting an insert disc error. Why would I be more interested in wasting time doing that than playing mafia? Based on comments that I made in prior games, it should be obvious that I got stuck on team mafia and am not happy about it.

Yes! I will. There's going to be more nightly murder music for one thing.
Victory is going to be really close.
Once you flip mafia, people are going to 100% accept Alto as Town Cop if they don't already.
As of Night 3, there will be three Confirmed Town and three Unconfirmed Town.
* Confirmed Town: Alto, Catte, Yog. * Unconfirmed Town: Dedo, Lift, Telika.
So long as the town keeps lynching each other each day, I'll be able to pick off Alto, then either Cattte and Yog. I thought it would come to a point where it would end with me plus a confirmed town and unconfirmed town but nope. Even if they only lynch from the unconfirmed group daily and leave me plus the confirmed alone, it can still end with me and one person on Day 6.
I think that the only thing that is working in my favor at this point is that I don't think that they are going to expect that I was engaging on Mafia-on-Mafia aggression on Day 3. Also because of Dedo's comment to Pooka in Post #711, I now feel the motivation that I never actually had to try to crush team town.
--- Sample Eliminations:
Night 3 - Alto
Day 4
* Confirmed: Catte, Yog * Unconfirmed Town: Dedo, Lift, Telika
I think that Dedo made himself the most lynchable for Day 4 considering that there's town-aligned people that have taken it upon themselves to associate Dedo with you. Right now, he looks like he's trying to distance himself from you.
Night 4 - Catte or Yog
Day 5 - 1 Confirmed (Catte/Yog) and 2 Unconfirmed (Lift, Telika) - Lift or Telika Lynched
Night 5 - Anyone
Day 6 - 1 Town left plus me, Mafia wins

Good plan ^ ^ good luck! you may need more luck than we have available to win,
but you don't need any luck to give them a good show. Keep being you, stay cool: we already have the moral victory - don't condescend to their level :*

Yes and no on the moral victory.
I have tremendous respect for Alto. When he role claimed Cop just to save Catte, who we know is going to have a less significant role, he had to know that he was putting a major target on his head. He was also taking a gamble that Scene was actually town and would actually protect him long enough to investigate someone.
Lots of respect for Scene too. He may say a lot of goofy things at times, but he had to know that he was going to die on Night 2 no matter what he did and still tried to protect Alto. "And now his watch has ended."

I certainly will do that! Actually the post where I cited that it's still possible for Mafia team to win so long as the Town lynches themselves was just that.
The primary reason that I previously thought that mafia had no chance to win was because I was certain that Alto was going to see me an unknown factor in the game and investigate me. I wasn't expecting him to go for 100% confirmation on Joe.
It's really unfortunate that Buck got the godfather role. If the random number generator had given it to me, I would have left Alto alive just to stew more doubt among the Town.
edit -- typo fix :)

Since this thread is all mine, I'm going to post some notes for myself.
Night 2 - Due to Scene's Bodyguard claim, I had spent some time researching setups, which is why I was convinced (on Day 3) that this is a low power game. I concluded that we're playing a variation of the Basic Twelve Player Setup (https://wiki.mafiascum.net/index.php?title=Basic_Twelve_Player) but with a few modifications:
1. Doctor downgraded to Bodyguard so that the Cop can't just trust that there's a hidden Doctor, role claim on Day 2, and have everyone play follow the cop while the hidden Doctor protects him daily.
2. Godfather also added to counter follow the cop.
3. I think that the Masons also had Day Chat but since Az wasn't super active on Day 1 and was the first night kill, they didn't get to use it much.
----------
Something I only realize now that I forgot to mention in Post #713:
1. Alto had cross-claimed the Cop role against Buck (Mafia Godfather), which should have told everyone that Alto's cop claim was real when Buck flipped. 2. A Mafia Cop isn't going to cross-claim against the Mafia Godfather.

Day 4 - Takes 4 to lynch:
* Desperately Trying to Look Town: Me * Confirmed Town: Catte, Yog * Unconfirmed Town: Dedo, Lift, Telika
Telika made a comment towards the end of Day three suspecting Dedo. Since Dedo can't be expected to vote to lynch himself, Catte and/or Yog are going to need to vote in order for a lynch to occur.
This is interesting only in that the two of them have been sitting on the sidelines a lot, showing up only after the vote has been finalized when they wouldn't be able to either vote or change their vote depending on the day.

Thanks ghost-of-Joe :)
Hello guys. I hope I do a good job subbing in. Sorry that you guys didn't get someone with a better Mafia track record, but such is life. At least Catventurer can be glad that I'm sharing on the "not actually wanting to be Mafia but dragged into it", lol. I really didn't expect to be subbing into Mafia again.
Tho I gotta admit she made an amazing job. @catv you might have thought yourself suspicious, but the general vibe I got from you during the game was Towny most of the time. Well done. Makes my job much easier.
Anyway, the path going forward is obvious. Dedo has made himself a juicy target for this Day and thankfully several townies are okay with his lynch. I have to take out one of the confirmed townies, then we reach MILO. I just can't be the most suspicious out of Telika, Lift and me. I don't think I can out-town Telika, but hopefully I can do it against Lift. I even gave Telika townpoints in #772 to hopefully pocket her.

Uh, just to be sure. Does anyone know if Telika is female? I'm worried that I might be mistaken about their gender and carrying my mistake into every other post that mentions them.
