D5 of The Reid technique Mafia Game

[Loose Canon]

And so the Darin self lynch and its consequences is exactly why this self vote/lynch tactic that has crept into towns play - no matter what its appeal and how likely it seems to a player they are about to be lynched anyway - is actually a terrible idea. At least in almost all circumstances.

Town can still win this - I think - but really does need to hold its horses D4 as far as votes are concerned - until it is sure for certain that everything is worked out.
Signify which way we are all thinking of voting by all means - if we wish - but actual votes are a no-no.

Now we have lost another town in Charle.

On a positive note - theres only really room for one cop in this town and Charle was cramping my style.

@Loose Canon
This was bad. I still think that the remaining Mafia didn't vote on Devon. So I will stick to my assumptions I and II this time unless there is something extraordinary that makes me change my opinion. All points at you Loose Canon. You also seem to be pleased to get rid of the competitor Town Cop.

I still think Darin had the power to poison, I was poisoned N2 but protected myself which meant I was not killed. However it reduced me down to town vanilla.
So i don't think Darin self lynched because he was town and thought he was going down, (he has plenty of time to put forward a defence. I think he self lynched because he knew he was dirty and maybe would create extra confusion, could even have been 3p.
I am also disappointed in Loose regarding wanting to be the only town cop. So I feel the same way as you at the moment jhelp

[halrob64]

However, Loose as town cop would have carried out investigations last night so I am sure he will prove he is the town cop by providing strong information regarding his findings.
He may even have been given extra powers as well so I'm excited to think Loose can help us bring the game to a conclusion and a town win.

[halrob64]

I'm actually quite amazed he didn't divulge in the first post he made today, he must be bursting with excitement to tell us all...Loose Loose what do you know Loose?

[Loose Canon]

I know quite a bit - curious to see if hjelp gets his promised report and if so what it says?

Also curious to see what Rag has to say about his role etc.

So for now not divulging.

Although I'm excited that you are excited Halrob

[halrob64]

Loose that sounds good to me, hopefully that will correspond with what I know and we press the advantage home!

It's Time for Loose to Kick Ass

In shadows deep, the town is tense,
A hidden truth, a false pretense.
The Mafia lurks, a deadly crew,
But now, dear Loose, it’s up to you.

With eyes that glint and hands that shake,
You know the stakes, you know the break.
The whispers rise, the tension builds,
The town’s on edge, their hearts are filled.

Tonight’s the night, the plot will twist,
As Loose prepares to make the hit.
No more hiding, no more fear,
It’s time to rise, the end is near.

The whispers echo, the clock ticks loud,
Loose steps forward, calm, unbowed.
With every vote, with every lie,
They’ll take down the Mafia, no alibi.

So here’s the time, here’s the hour,
Loose will strike with secret power.
The tables turn, the cards are cast,
Mafia’s reign, it cannot last.

It’s time for Loose to take a stand,
To show the town who’s in command.
With clever wit and fearless heart,
The Mafia’s grip will soon depart.

The night is long, but Loose won’t fall,
They’ll rise above, outsmart them all.
In this wild game, they’ll make their pass—
It’s time for Loose to kick some ass!

[Loose Canon]

Sorry Halrob are you saying you want me to make the first declaration again now?

[halrob64]

Loose, no we need to hear from jhelp in particular and Ragian who must be in play by now. Dev I have a good idea about but lets see from the other guys

[Loose Canon]

Okey dokey ready for hokey pokey

[hjelp]

I guess there can be two Cops or one Doc and one retired Doc. I'm waiting to hear from Devante and Ragian what they have to say.

[hjelp]

I meant
two Cops and one retired Doc
or
one Cop and one Doc and one retired Doc

[hjelp]

and myself
These are claimed PR.

If Loose Canon flips Town then there is only one Mafia left - Ragian
If Ragian flips Town then there is only one Mafia left - Loose Canon

So let's see what we can find out.

[halrob64]

jhelp
Did you get a result of any sort last night?

[hjelp]

@ Devante
Is your back-up role completed? i.e. no longer back-up?

[hjelp]

jhelp
Did you get a result of any sort last night?

Waiting for Devante and Ragian.

So for now not divulging.

[halrob64]

jhelp I was not asking you to divulge the result, i was asking you if you had a result

[hjelp]

jhelp I was not asking you to divulge the result, i was asking you if you had a result

There is a reason why not answer to you question yet.

There can be zero Town Cop - then I won't get any report.
There can be one Town Cop and If Town Cop investigated - then I will get a report, otherwise not.
There can be two Town Cops and If at least one Town Cop investigated - then I will get a report, otherwise not.

So for now not divulging.

[halrob64]

not much of a role is it?

[Loose Canon]

Just want to address me not seeming too disappointed that Charle cop has met his demise.

Of course I am sad - bless his cotton socks.

Every cloud has its silver lining though.

Charle went around making accusations without any evidence.
Ok granted he was right on Devon.

Probably went around disturbing crime scenes before the force could make proper enquiries
Doubt he wore gloves

Probably engaged the services of a roleblocking hooker N2 when he should have been assisting me in my enquiries
May not have worn a glove then either

Its his conditional sanity I question.
Totally cuckoo if you ask me!
What do you say Ragian?

[hjelp]

It's a good role

I. Devante now is a Doc,
If Loose Canon flips Town
- then there is one Cop that can investigate
I can confirm result if an investigation was made.
If Loose Canon flips Mafia
- then there is no Cop, no investigation.
I will know there wasn't an investigation made.

II. Devante now is a Cop,
If Loose Canon flips Town
- then there are two Cops that can investigate
I won't know who investigated but can confirm result if an investigation was made.
If Loose Canon flips Mafia
- then there is one Cop that can investigate
I can confirm result if an investigation was made.

[halrob64]

OK thanks for that, I have a good idea what your result should be, lets see how it plays out then

[hjelp]

I will get a report only if an investigator actually visited a Mafia. Otherwise no report.
If the investigator was roleblocked or elsewhere directed means no report.

I hope you this will make it clear.

[Devante]

Really confused on why Darin self lynched. Doesn't really make sense. Fact that he was town was odd too I would have assumed a quack doctor would be part of scum faction. There's five left with one scum and one poisoner and three town. I know myself and hal are town so out of the remaining three there's one more there. Still not sure between Loose, hjelp and Ragian who it is. Although would say Loose leans scum at this point given Charle turned up town but like the two doctors in play there could have been tow cops in play. Not intending to vote anytime soon until we get some more discussion going. Any night results that could highlight which two need to go should be coming forward at this point
