Game : MAFIA VI - Reaper's Pleasure

[Lavarinth]

Unfortunately, after a heartfelt statement from Aekenon.. I would of agreed that we should allow night to fall once more before we get a clearer view as to what is happening. However- after reading the following:

So I'm going to have to vote to lynch Lavarinth. FOR THE LIGHT!

I'm going to have to reassure myself that there is some mischief here after the previous was said:

Pretty sure I would be dead if Lavarinth were mafia, so it's probably not him

For the light,  you said. For the light. You don't know what it's like to have a dozen light shining down on you as you save human lives from the mafia, do you? Of course you don't, you haven't been in my shoes, instead- It's probably YOU who are sending them to hospitals! I reiterate my statement to lynch Milldawg.

[Milldawg]

Well, we have a tie. Precedent says ties lead to a revote, so I guess I'll vote not to lynch anyone.

[Aekenon]

Care to elaborate on your sudden change of heart?  You seemed opposed to that just a couple hours ago.

[Lavarinth]

Going soft now, Milldawg? Seems suspicious to me, sir.

[Milldawg]

Well, I like to think of it this way: anyone can say anything. Lavarinth seems to be saying he's the detective, and that I'm mafia. If he's telling the truth, then I'm mafia and am just trying to weasel my way out of the hole I've dug myself into. But the liar could just as easily be him, posing as the detective to earn your trust, which is what I had been saying. Obviously one of us is lying, so it just comes down to who you trust more, or who you think has the better arguments.

But since apparently trying to convince everyone of my innocence just leads to me being accused more, I'm going to hang back and just try to save myself for now. Having realized the folly of trying to convince people of stuff, I'm going to focus on a safer goal: not being dead, and hoping the real detective will find the real mafia. And the best way to do this is to vote "no lynch."

I believe that everything I've said makes just as much sense from an innocent's point of view as from a mafioso's, and that's pretty much true for all of us. If everyone still thinks I'm suspicious, so be it...but if it comes down to 2 citizens vs. 2 mafia, the citizens aren't going to have much of a chance.

[Lavarinth]

Note that you are branding me as a detective, I've never stated that I'm a detective.

I'll make it simple. If Thalraxal removes his statement of lynching you, as will I. That will leave me as the one being lynched, if AA7 decides to lynch me. He's only "voted" to, not said to. Otherwise, no one will be lynched.

[Milldawg]

Well, I believe everyone needs to revote, even if they keep the vote the same. And if "no lynch" wins, no one is lynched even if a person has more votes than any other. At least, that's how it worked in previous rounds, and Ricky has made no suggestion to the contrary.

[Aekenon]

I think it's a bit interesting that I kept getting this 'it's either him or me' vibe from Milldawg's statements just a bit ago, when both of you could still easily be innocent, right?

Anyway, I believe I'll stand by my no lynching vote.  Our job will be difficult either way, but I can think of more scenarios that lead to the arrest of the Mafia down this path...


(By the way, Ricky, I'm kinda confused about the current day's end time.  You said "Wednesday, 22th September", but Wednesday is the 24th.  So is it ending today (the 22nd), or...?)

[Thalraxal]

I'm still voting to lynch Milldawg

[Lavarinth]

Well, that leave us with the current of:

Two for no lynching.
One for voting to lynch me, which is not claiming to lynch me.
One surely set to lynch Milldawg.
One still in limbo to lynching Milldawg, but has not removed his lynch statement.

[Aekenon]

I'll make mine official again.  I vote for no lynching.

Looks like AA7 will decide what happens, if anything...

[AA7Dragoon]

Well if no one believes my assessment is true, then I nullify my motion to lynch Lavarinth.  I think abstaining from lynching is a terrible mistake, as it basically gives the Mafia a free turn.

I vote for no lynching.

[Lavarinth]

Surely now there are three for no lynching and two for Milldawg (including my last post regarding to lynching).

Your thoughts, Thal? You've been somewhat quiet and direct since your last agreement with Aekenon

[Aekenon]

Well if no one believes my assessment is true, then I nullify my motion to lynch Lavarinth.  I think abstaining from lynching is a terrible mistake, as it basically gives the Mafia a free turn.

I vote for no lynching.

You think it's a mistake, yet you vote for it anyway, eh?  HOW SUSPICIOUS!!  O ho... I kid, I kid.


Anyway, under the assumption that there's still two Mafioso left, there's only a 2 in 3 chance that we'll nab a killer.  And if we fail, there will be  two innocents and two Mafioso... and it will be their turn.  Naturally they would then kill one of the two innocents, leaving one good guy.  And what could he do?

Or, if Zilla indeed was a Mafioso, then it's just a 1 in 5 chance of guessing the correct person.  And I plain hate those odds.

I suppose I'm just not enough of a risk-taker.  But that's my problem.  There's a chance we could guess right and solve this mystery before the sun sets... and if anyone is confident enough in their judgements, then I urge them to follow through.  If not, then err on the side of caution with me.

[Milldawg]

We also don't know if the doctor is still alive. If he is, he is doing a good job of hiding it, which is good. And if he is, then that gives the citizens a much better chance at night.
