Mafia V: Day Three (May 9th-11th): A Single Reprieve

[Linkachu]

*Facepalms*

Shiny and Dway said they were in the same family, not only to me, but in the open. So yeah, two mafia gone and of the same family. That leaves one family fully intact.

^This.

Katie and I have been weirdly united in this game through the power of obvious things being stated and others ignoring them.

Actually I voted for Sem before Shiny admitted and I figured she would be less damaging than Sem this was all based on guessing Sem was mafia, while I do still have slight suspicions on him. I realise that me voting prematurely isn't going in my favour as it has given me suspicion everyday. I voted for you not knowing Shiny and Dway had told you, and I was in the mind frame that no matter the explanation you would be revealed as Mafia.

But seeming though I can't smooth talk my way outta this situation I'm going to admit to my role in the game which is the thief and just leave things there get rid of me if you wish but I believe you are the most dangerous person at the moment which is why I'm voting for you. So I'm happy with my vote and will await death ^^

Ouch, passive aggressive! I hate that sort of defeatist attitude. There's never a time to just give up like that. People will jump on you.

What a quandary! Are we to believe Riley because we have no evidence otherwise, or to find another target and keep on thinking he's fine and dandy!

...Actually, and I quote: "The thief can be of either alignment." From the rules! In that case, that is very something ahoohoo, indeed!

I hate to say it, but I've got to drop a vote prematurely, due to my limited internets.

Riley! (Sem i am totes coming for you eventually)

Actually I voted for Sem before Shiny admitted and I figured she would be less damaging than Sem this was all based on guessing Sem was mafia, while I do still have slight suspicions on him.

Actually, Shiny admitted to being Mafia an hour before you voted. Granted I am willing to give you the benefit of the doubt because she did so cryptically (at the time). However, when you voted for Sem you gave absolutely no reasoning behind it. Now you're suddenly redacting on your grave suspicions of Sem. Why is that? What happened to make Sem not worth lynching today when there was so much support for him yesterday?

Not to mention, Riley, that you started that bandwagon for Sem to be lynched. Then later in Day 2, you suddenly flip-flopped on your viewpoint to further persecute Josh. You've only really attacked three people in this game: Joshawott, Sem and myself.

Sem to a lesser extent, as you never went into detail about why you suspect him or anything. Instead you simply decided that he must die, because reasons (which nearly resulted in a confessed Mafia surviving another day). Josh is dead and was proven innocent, so you're at the very least 0-1. Your Sem accusations are not very founded in my opinion, so I don't trust you there. Not to mention that you wanted me dead for evidence that wasn't there.

You're not proving to be very credible, Riley, just good with your words and at being sure to avoid too much attention. Also, Tan pointed out a great bit about the Thief role, so that alibi is null and void. Thus, Lynch Riley

Hmm gonna come out of my defeatist attitude for a bit. I find it strange that when Shiny openly came out as Mafia you went for Sem but as soon as I go for Red you defend him and go for me. I've also noticed your attitude changed in your last post a bit. And you have been rumoured many a time to be mafia this game. So if I'm thinking right Red and Tan are on the same family then I'll be willing to pin the 2 final mafia roles on Rich and Jada.

Also if I follow my logic messed up as it might be Red and Tan haven't really said anything about being suspicious of Rich which perhaps warrants that Rich is the final member of Red's family. Also Jada seems incredibly indecisive which is why they didn't vote which is my reasoning to the remaining member of Shiny's family only other person who fits the bill is El but he hasn't done anything to be suspicious.

And I backed off Sem because Josh, Shiny and Tan were the major components in Sem's bandwagon now that 2 of them are down it would have gone nowhere fast. And reasoning to voting Sem was "better being safe than sorry" because Sem is a good player especially at taking others out which is why I went for him.

Oh and the Josh thing we were actually allied but played that alliance with a friendly rivalry. It seems I overplayed said rivalry or I'm just unlucky Josh went down

Why do you suspect Tan and I of being allied? I have defended Sem countless times and Katie and I have had each other's back throughout the game thus far. And yet, Tan is suspicious? For defending me? Has El not "defended me" before? In Day 2 when you accused me, El pointed out something you stated as not being valid and essentially defended me and yet you ignored that.

You said you're not acting in a defensive manner, but you really are. Why else would you be so accusatory and trying so hard to cover your previous actions? You've been careful all throughout this game to retroactively negate what you did previously when it was wrong to some degree. I don't take your claims to have been trustworthy at all throughout the game, nor did I ever.

Looking back he got on at Dway for saying you were 'overly defensive' he said I had good basis on my accusations but didn't want to vote. And looking back at today and Day 2 I don't believe I said I wasn't acting in a defensive manner. But Tan has suddenly changed tactics as soon as I fire a vote your way which is the reason for thinking you are both Mafia, if I had the ability to I would change my vote to Tan. I'm also surprised at the fact you are going for me because the thief can be of either alignment which effectively makes me the pivotal point in this game.


Vote at me if you will but you are just making thing more detrimental for the townies.

Lynch Riley.

I don't particularly trust Red, which is sort of the point of the game, but he has shown the most fleshed-out logic and best ability to reason so far, so I am willing to side with him- And the rest so far, I guess- because you, Riley, are the most suspicious person today.

[Linkachu]

This is honestly kinda tough for me. I very much agree that the way Riley's been playing hasn't been helping our cause, and his arguments/defences are all over the place. But I have my doubts that he's mafia. After what happened with Shocari, I'm not really down with lynching someone who could be a townsperson - even if they're not helping things.

And for the record, I strongly agree with what Red said earlier regarding NidoRich. Why is everyone so suspicious of him? I honestly can't pinpoint anything that makes him more suspicious than, say, DarkSoul, El, Chad, Red, Sem, myself, etc. Rich always seems to get targeted just because he's him... and I just don't get it. XD

So, yeah. Someone provide some rational for why we're suspecting Rich? If this keeps up I'm going to lynch Chad simply because he's been barely active and that makes me suspicious. I mean, it's as good a reason as any, eh?

iluChadsrsly~

I swear to god you guys post too much when I'm not at my laptop >=|

I'm suspicious of NidoRich partially because of what he said in his very first post in day one- That he was 'actively and definitely looking to win this game', but at the end of the post he excuses himself by saying 'don't accuse me just for posting my thoughts'. Perhaps he was just trying to sound self-confident, but it struck me as odd.

There's also the fact that the first one to openly say she found NidoRich suspicious, and if I recall correctly the only one besides me- Carmen- Was found dead the next morning.

[Linkachu]

Ahh. Thanks, DarkSoul. It may just be your hunch, but now I have a better idea of why people suspect him.

Now I'm bothered. On the subject of Rich as an aside I only have access to posting from my phone and only during school hours right now so I can't cover everything so quickly. But Rich is not a point here because I don't care about him. If people decide to actually get voting for him next round instead of just talking about it all day, then yes, I'll certainly donate my vote to him.

I suddenly changed tactics? I suppose I did, because you pretty much said VOTE FOR ME HURRDURR. Would you have been perfectly fine if I kept voting for Sem day by day? I was not involved with whatever Shiny or whatever else you mentioned as a bandwagon.

I voted for Sem because I was mad he had done me in in the first mafia game. Want to go look it up? Because I was pretty mad then and still am. HOWEVER, I am also not stupid. If I keep blindly voting for Sem every round I will have zero impact on the game. Zero. And now that I'm looking at these numbers, it's pretty likely Sem is not mafia as Shiny had gone at him, and we are very much lacking in dead mafia members right now, yet I am now suspicious because I decide to throw my vote to someone with actual suspicion?

So as it comes down to it, I'd say you or Red are incredibly likely suspects, but you threw in the towel, and want some sort of pity party defeatist act to sound like a villager by calling your supposed role, which is a role for both sides! So Riley, if you somehow manage not to die today or during the night, you will do well to remember this.

Hell hath no fury like a tentacle monster.

You people have, like WAAAAAAAAAAY too much time on your hands.

I am VERY suspicious towards Riley now. You've admitted defeat already? Wow, that was quick. Surely, if you were a villager, you would put up much more of a fight than THAT? Not only would you want to keep yourself in the game to win, but also to help your fellow townies win? Not only that, but your excuse for lynching Red is, quite frankly, BOLLOCKS. And to round it all off, you're playing the "lynch me, but you'll just be losing a townie" card. Seriously, do you think that will persuade us?

Lynch Riley.

I actually never said I was townie :P All I've said is I'm a pivotal point if I turn out to be Mafia some of the other Mafia members will be easy to find on the other hand if I die people have got a lot to say about themselves. I put myself in a difficult situation and no solid evidence to get me out of said situation and honestly if I was Mafia; Josh and Carmen/Brendan would still be in as I would have gone straight for Katie and Dem/Red because I would have thought they would have been more threatening.

I actually never said I was townie :P

That's basically a confession. You realize that, right?

Also Luckii is kind of right. |D

[Sem]

If you're the thief but not a townie then you're saying that you're the thief with the double role of mafia. Good job.

You're not doing a very good job for yourself here, Riley

Unless the intention was about having some kind of role rather than just a straight up townsperson. If, for example, he was the Detective or something, he might not call himself a townsperson.

Why he'd post something like that though, I have no idea, since it just makes him a massive target.

My thoughts exactly. Perhaps he is the clown, but decided to wait until day three? As unlikely as it sounds, though...
