RaMafia (round 1 - end)

[STM1993]

Okay. For the sake of transparency and because I'm frankly not really enjoying myself, I'm going to post everything I thought about on this mafia thread, what I can remember at least. Some quick info - I'm basically always on IRC after a certain time of the day.

First real mafia game, I had no idea what to do. I was on irc with MangaD and Pf, can't remember if there were others. Manga insisted I use my mod powers to scout out the invisible people. I said no, citing privacy as a throwaway excuse. In reality, I'm thinking that its always the same few people who use invisibility since before the game which makes the info pointless(not to mention not everyone logs in at the same time etc), and because it need not necessarily be just mafia who use the PM system. Regardless, I was just not willing to provide that kind of info to anyone, especially not this early in the game.

First post after Jers died - there isn't any info available other than the fact a thug died. I didn't know what to do, so I acted like a clown. I posted that A-Man was quick for vote for Amadis for mayor and so I randomly accused him since he was among the first few to post, but it was never a serious accusation. Then Manga seemed to be putting pressure on getting me lynched. After a few other posts, I decided to drop the act, but I still voted Manga as mayor on a whim. In any case I thought of being passive since I've no idea what's going on, and maybe it'd be good if I behaved in a way that made it seem I could be a thug.

Then the whole fake PM thing came about. What a bloody mess, all I could get out of it is that A-Man lied about who had PM'd him, so I decided to lynch him. That kinda became my modus operandi - I'd lynch whoever is lying. mfc did send me a threatening PM titled "WOW", contents "I will kill you in your sleep ", but I simply replied "Kay." and paid no attention to it. I think around this time on irc, MnM said that he didn't play the game outside of the thread, and expressed he didn't like the game.

Turns out A-Man was innocent. Then Pf got killed by mafia the 2nd night. I voted no-kill because it seemed like everything I thought I knew was wrong and I agreed maybe its better to let the cop do something, and I also made a crappy attempt to get Mafia to kill me. Then mfc died and turned out to be a citizen.

I would've remained passive and maybe lynched Manga until Luti posted the screenshots of Rhino being on irc. I myself went on irc to check things out, albeit a bit late. Also speculated a bit with MnM & Pf before I did a big check on IP (this was prior to Ramond clarifying the ghost talk rules). I jumped at it to check the IPs and stuff, and decided Rhino was lying. Luti later admitted he set things up multiple times, including over Skype to me. He did mention the IP thing, but at that time I asked "what IP thing?" as I wasn't sure what he meant. I guess now he meant he also faked the IP for this apparent Rhino irc thing, and Luti seems honest and nervous about his choice of lynches due to his previous actions having likely killed 2 citizens.

I revealed myself as citizen to both Luti and Manga when they asked for a role exchange. Luti said he was a citizen, Manga said he was a doctor. I mentioned I'd probably lynch MnM next if nothing big happens because he seemed disinterested.

edit: I have spoken to mfc as well(prior to Ramond clarifying the ghost talk rules), but ultimately didn't change my thoughts on the matter. I'm also given a link to a prophecy list, but I promised NOT to peek at it until this round ends. I think I also discussed the reason why pf was killed - I followed the same line of logic Manga gave that if Manga was truly doctor and would save himself, then mafia wouldn't want to kill him for risk of wasting a night kill.
edit2: I do also suspect those who aren't active on this thread. While typing this post I have a hunch that the mafia are the least active few people... but whatever, I had mob lynched two one innocent.

And now Manga & Luti suddenly changed their votes, with Manga doing so first. And now Hellblazer makes this useless post. Ugh.

That's all I have to say. I'm keeping my vote on Rhino for now only because I have no bloody clue what's going on anymore and to keep a tie going.
