And now HD/Iparth Erule:

Iparth Erule, on 06 March 2017 - 06:55 PM, said:

So basically RI/symp? I guess the good thing for me to do for town at the moment is to suicide...

You have been recruited by the Brotherhood of the Beast.

Trake is Nyarlathotep.

Iparth Erule, on 14 March 2017 - 03:10 AM, said:

Trake wants his daddy I see.

Will have to run some numbers later to see potential faction size.

And here's Khell/Trake:

Dammit, I was hoping for a brain-free role this week. Though I guess I can still play that way

Trust me, I didn't want to give you a juicy role... But the randomizer does as the randomizer will.

Trake, on 07 March 2017 - 03:33 PM, said:

Don't worry, I'm sure I'll contrive to fuck it up - I think I've only once ever (that I can remember) had a team victory where I was the leader.

For my first mistake:

Recruit Okaros

The dude most likely for both me and the other leader to go for and thus negate our recruiting

Trake, on 07 March 2017 - 05:52 PM, said:

Nah, let's REALLY screw ourselves over. Let's recruit Tatts

Recruit Hanas

Your recruit was not successful.

Trake, on 08 March 2017 - 03:27 PM, said:

Shock.


I would laugh at the finder being killed, but let's wait and see if Hanas has anything to say first.

Trake, on 08 March 2017 - 03:33 PM, said:

I need a big brain on my side, a canny mind. So what better thing to do than to

Recruit Mockra

Trake, on 09 March 2017 - 12:20 PM, said:

Could Hanas be a recruiter? No idea, loads of other things could have happened.

Now what if Okaros is recruited? Could I recruit them tonight and then they spill the beans on their former master tomorrow? But they're probably not recruited, so meh.

Your recruit was successful.

Trake, on 10 March 2017 - 07:39 AM, said:

Hooray!

Gamelon stole my fun. Today I was going to say that Hanas was my former master but I had been recruited by the other recruiter and so was now spilling the beans. A risky ploy for a leader, I know, but it would have been fun.

Also, Recruit Gamelon

Trake, on 10 March 2017 - 07:50 AM, said:

Actually, Recruit Iparth Erule.

Trake, on 10 March 2017 - 01:01 PM, said:

No fuck it, I've got to risk it even if there's a role which can block recruiting, so

RECRUIT Gamelon

Trake, on 10 March 2017 - 01:50 PM, said:

If Gamelon lynched, recruit Iparth.

Trake, on 10 March 2017 - 04:44 PM, said:

If Hanas lynched, Recruit Serc. If Gamelon lynched, recruit Iparth Erule.

Trake, on 10 March 2017 - 04:55 PM, said:

URGH!!

If Hanas lynched, Recruit Gamelon. If Gamelon lynched, Recruit Iparth Erule.

It's probably not a good quality for a leader to be so indecisive.

Your recruit was successful.

Trake, on 14 March 2017 - 08:18 AM, said:

Recruit Okaros

Trake, on 14 March 2017 - 08:18 AM, said:

Also, can't believe I misalted Tatts

Trake, on 14 March 2017 - 08:26 AM, said:

Kaschan, Okaros, and Alkend are all probably unlynchable today. Kaschan protected by Gam's reveal, and the other two have revealed without contradiction.

That means I have to lynch one of Mockra or Iparth today.

[Path-Shaper]

More Khell/Trake:

Trake, on 14 March 2017 - 08:31 AM, said:

I think I have to reveal as the necromancer, the link or the visitor, but which one is Kaschan?

Hopefully Mockra/Iparth won't contradict me when I reveal as one of them.

Trake, on 14 March 2017 - 09:23 AM, said:

Or we vote night...

Trake, on 14 March 2017 - 12:24 PM, said:

I am so tempted just to reveal and tell the recruits to vote night I'm not sure if I dare though. I have absolutely no idea what the three unrevealed roles might do, which one Kaschan is, and whether it could stop me recruiting. Or even if Alkend the debutante could.

[Sir Thursday]

So many incorrect alt-guesses! Looks like game over unless Trake changes his NA onto Kaschan. I can't see him doing it though, because he really wants to get Tatts on his side...

Yeah, looks like it. But we shall see, there are still 24 hours, and Tatts and Khell ARE both still in the game...

[Gamelon]

What HD needs to do is claim he has a vig kill. That'll make Khell recruit him all quick-like!

It's kinda ironic that I picked you as my find, b/c I thought you were khell...


I have 0 faith in tatts right now, because he's not being paranoid enough. He's ruling out Trake as potential recruiter because he's being reasonable- which is the exact opposite of the logic he should be using.

It became painfully obvious to me sometime in Day 2 that it was people who were playing like me (so talking a fair amount, but not making waves) who'd be the most likely recruiters. If I didn't know do a find on you, I'd probably have gone for Trake.

Yeah, HD should definitely be trying to make himself an attractive recruit target at this point. But I guess he has to balance that against the possibility that there aren't many town left, which might make him try to stay alive when he shouldn't...

Hah, yeah I laughed at that when I read through the role PMs. I actually changed my recruit off you because I thought you might be the other recruiter. For similar reasons I was pretty convinced that Trake was the other recruiter for a fair while. The narrowed suspect pool due to the reveals makes it a lot easier to pick out where the scum were.

[JPK]

I'm not sure that claiming vig on recruit would work either. Part of why I did it was because my Ninja target already had a faction member down, so the kill being added to his side would be attractive to help square away numbers. Khell/Trake already has numbers, so the vig kill wouldn't likely be as attractive to him.

[Gamelon]

Except it could kill him.

Alternatively, HD could claim to be the deprogrammer who can make cult town again (it'd fit with his necromancer MO, somewhat).

Of course HD also said he'd be out of state for 3 days, so his time playing will be drastically limited, and thus I'm skeptical of town pulling off a brilliant coup here.

[Itwæs Nom]

I decided to put alting aside for a couple of games and attempt to make it have as little impact on how I play as possible unless I'm 100% sure about it, but to be fair I also thought you were Khell ST and it still probably had some impact on my target choice

The fact that so many of you thought I was Khell is a bit disconcerting given how big of a target he seems to have on his back. I guess I'll have to stop trying to hide my tells quite as much .

[Sir Thursday]

Went ahead and posted an update. Seems like Trake is going to sit there and let day timeout, which will get him the win .

I wouldn't put it past Khell to try to post as you just to throw heat off of himself.

A few PMs:

Lady Bliss/Mockra is preparing a fake reveal. Could be interesting:

Mockra, on 15 March 2017 - 01:09 AM, said:

Ok, so 6 of us left... I'm tempted to take reveal as walter. That would surely get me lynched, then trake could try and recruit again, and win 3/2.

Tattersail/Okaros despairs about the lack of activity:

Okaros, on 15 March 2017 - 11:55 AM, said:

Thing is here, people are not doing any back and forth. How can I nail down a recruiter when there's no one to trust or bounce ideas back and forth off.

Trake is swaying away from Mockra with his thoughts on day one. Iparth has not come out and accused anyone, or even put forth a case on someone.

Mockra voting Iparth makes me think Iparth cannot be a recruit of Mockra if Mockra is the recruiter.

Now in the same leap of logic, Iparth cannot be Mockra's recruiter because Mockra wouldn't vote Iparth when many people are speculating on only them as cult.

Iparth has revealed he cannot be rerecruiter. That is extra information about his role. I will go check this in a second.

I cannot say this on thread yet because I need to see who both Iparth and Trake settle on.

Right now I am thinking that Trake is Mockra's recruit, which is bad because this means we are going to need Kaschan to vote and he is absent. (If not Mockra's recruit, then maybe reverse the role)

Okaros, on 15 March 2017 - 11:57 AM, said:

Kaschan is Frank

I have Iparth as most likely Johannes or Walter.

Khellendros/Trake is toying with changing his decision:

Iparth Erule, on 15 March 2017 - 07:36 AM, said:

Trake, on 15 March 2017 - 12:10 AM, said:

Here's a thought: If we have parity like Alkend suggests, and Mockra hasn't been jumped on to get the lynch despite having one vote on them for some time now, does that mean they are cult and possibly leader?

Or cult are waiting for the leader to indicate a direction they'd be willing to go so they can look for justification to jump sure in the knowledge it's not a recruit being voted for.

Subtle I'm going the boring route, trying to time the day out, so the direction I'm trying to indicate is don't vote at all. I also repeatedly lumped Mockra and Iparth together in my analysis in order to try and tell them they've both been recruited. Might have to be more direct about that.

Trake, on 15 March 2017 - 12:31 PM, said:

I'm doing something which you should NEVER do in Mafia - I'm playing with heart rather than head.

If I was cold and logical about this, I would try to recruit Kaschan, as they stand the most chance of being some kind of bodyguard that can protect others. And they're most likely to help out Okaros if so.


But - I feel Okaros deserves to win more, so I want to bring them on board.

Now, what's going to happen is that my recruit will fail

THINK WITH YOUR HEAD! THINK WITH YOUR HEAD!

[Vengeance]

Khell should be off the thread just sitting back and letting the win come to him. But he is so jacked right now that he can't help himself.

[Vengeance]

Blend the day should be over now. Time them out and put them out of their missery.

[Sir Thursday]

That was me putting the PMs up, not Blend. I'll have time to end the game in 15 minutes or so.

[Sir Thursday]

OK, all done. Congrats BotB - Trake played a pretty flawless game to bring you guys to victory.
