Finished Mafia XXXVIII: Battle for the Republic (Congratulations Darth Sidious!)

[VinculumStellarum]

I kind of figured I would get blocked night 1 after saying who I was or something like that so I'd have to say that I think @bbninjas is NOT scum. I'd assume that most to everyone would believe who my character is, and if the mafia beloved this and had some sort of ability blocking thing, they could (and did) block my ability. Bbninjas, if they were scum, would have more likely killed me instead of blocking my ability as my Ability could have been used to redirect any of his abilities to someobody else which he wouldn't of liked I'd assume because that would mess up his plan. However, I planned to redirect @PikaMasterJesi s Ability to @bbninjas because I thought she might have been scum. The fact that my Ability was blocked makes me think even more so that she is scum.

1) I barely understand what this is trying to say.
2) I personally think scum would try to keep easy lynches and scumbuddies alive...

You tried to redirect anything from PikaMasterJesi to bbninjas but you were blocked!

or your lying about your ability. as I said earlier, it's either me or you right now, and be reminded the day started only like 30 minutes ago, so it's really early to be making any decisions.

"You're lying about your ability" as a defence? What. That's pretty WIFOM-y, and a bad defence like Carson said. Also, why is it between one of you two? The day just started; barely anyone has posted.

But your behavior guarantees the thought in my mind that you are scum.

This is actually typical play from him, far as I remember. It's also pretty in-character for him, and I can vouch for this as I know him IRL.

So grovyle sorry but spyou just ended yourself. if people agree with my reasoning that is, which I'd guess everyone would unless your all mafia. (I'm all alone )

...What?

Also everyone, if you guaranteed want to find out who's mafia, lynch me for proof that grovyle is mafia and lynch him next day. Best way to do it, though I prefer to stay alive.

This actually seems a little logical, but I feel my vote is still best on you.

Well it might be a big leap Mobutu my lynching would also be saying that TGK is lying. Not sure he'd want huge proof he was lying.

Read BB's post.

 

[VinculumStellarum]

Whoops, messed up a quote. This is new.

The only ability to target a Jedi during the Night was the Night Kill.

This is quite interesting. I can't quite believe this until I get a claim, though.

@PikaMasterJesi @bbninjas : Do you have a passive roleblock? This is really important right now (since you can LaL with this information.)
bb: Are you a Jedi?
I hate to role fish, but I honestly think it is really important since it can catch a LaL.

Sorry, yeah, I don't have a passive roleblock.

I'm not going to say whether or not I'm Jedi unless I absolutely need to. TGK has an Ability that relates to the Jedi/Senator mechanic, so it wouldn't surprise me if there are more of those, and perhaps some anti-town ones.

I can't say any more than this, but I have a very important reason. I can explain more later.

 

[Nyora]

Honestly, even if I'm lynched really quickly, I still believe it would lead to the eventual lynch of TGK. With all that said though, I did say earlier I wanna stay alive and I wanna give other players a chance to express their opinions so I won't do anything for now.

 

[simsands]

Rainy's claim definitely looked like it was forged. With TGK claiming that he's lying, there's even more reason to lynch him than there was yesterday. I will hold my vote for now though, since he's technically at L-2, and we have so much time left in the day.

@PikaMasterJesi I'd also like to hear your answer to NinjaPenguin's question.

 

[thegrovylekid]

@thegrovylekid Can you quote the Ability you used (and obviously remove any sensitive information)?

I'm leaning towards TGK saying the truth, since that's a HUGE gambit for scum to make early game, with little pay-off. I would vote, however double votes means that it only 4 votes are needed to hammer.

Now that I'm not taking a test, Here you go!

Passive Ability: (Snips)
(Snips). At the end of each Night Period you will receive a single use of one of the abilities used against a Jedi. The ability and Jedi that you target will be chosen at random.

I've removed the flavour since the power this is based off of is so incredibly rare in the star wars universe and I don't want my character revealed just yet. And here's my results from night 1 again:

The only ability to target a Jedi during the Night was the Night Kill, meaning you don't receive any new abilities.

I snipped away the "you won't receive any new abilities" part because I didn't want to claim my ability just yet, but the cat's out of the bag so yeah.

Enjoy.

I don't necessarily agree with what TDK is saying. Could another player have blocked things from affecting either bbninjas or PikaMasterJesi? That sounds like a possible ability, though I am not sure, I can't remember seeing that before.

To be completely honest I feel way in over my head this game, no one is massively ringing out to me, so I am just going to go back onto who I thought was the second scummiest player day 1, nothing has changed on that front for me yet

##Vote: thegrovylekid

I will go for a third look through everything again tomorrow, but still nothing has really struck out to me.

While the bolded is entirely possible, it isn't relevant to the evidence against Rainy:

Note that Rainy claimed being blocked, we have the quote here:

You tried to redirect anything from PikaMasterJesi to bbninjas but you were blocked!

This means that someone blocked Rainy, which should have triggered my ability since Rainy claimed being a Jedi.

...Except, instead, I was alerted that not a single ability was used against the Jedi last night. Because Rainy claimed Jedi and also claimed being blocked, yet my ability didn't activate, and neither Jesi or bb have so far said they're a passive roleblocker, this leaves us with one alternative:

Rainy is not a Jedi.

Because of this, it is also very likely that rainy is not town. Lying + Evidence for him not being a Jedi/town = reason to lynch him.

That's the case. Unless @PikaMasterJesi speaks up and says she has a Passive Roleblocker that blocked rainy, I see little reason for him to live since he's very likely not aligned with the town (Unless senators get safeclaims for some reason, but TSM didn't flip a safeclaim).

Does that make sense?

 

[VinculumStellarum]

@PikaMasterJesi @bbninjas : Do you have a passive roleblock? This is really important right now (since you can LaL with this information.)

I don't. Instead, I'm pretty much vanilla. :/

 

[Vracken]

I just am not sure how the wording works. Why couldn't someone have put an ability blocking Jesi or bbninjas from being affected or targeted, never targeting rainyman123. You seem attached to the blocked word, and I might be wrong but that could be blocked from acting (i.e. Rainyman123 targeted, therefore your theory being true) or could be blocked from targeting either PikaMasterJesi or bbninjas specifically (i.e. one of them being targeted, and if neither of them are Jedi, your ability wouldn't activate).

Sorry if this isn't making sense, Just don't see why it had to be Rainyman123 who was targeted with being blocked and why it couldn't have been one of the others.

##VOTE: RAINYMAN123

@rainyman123 explain how Carson's scum and you're not OMGUSing.

Also, I've got this nifty Passive that tells me, once a night, about a Senate Order that can be passed at some point in the future. Last night, I learned about this one:

White Flag Night: During the Night Period that this Senate Order is passed, all lethal abilities will be blocked (including the Night Kill).

Which is obviously super helpful if it ever comes up.

 

[NinjaPenguin]

If anyone hammers, I will lynch you tomorrow.

 

[Jabberwock]

Ohwait votes are doubled.

##UNVOTE

 

[NinjaPenguin]

I can't say any more than this, but I have a very important reason. I can explain more later.

@bbninjas I really need an answer.

 

[VinculumStellarum]

Another vote's actually safe; I have 0 vote weight today.

 

[bbninjas]

@bbninjas I really need an answer.

I'm a Senator.

I don't necessarily agree with what TDK is saying. Could another player have blocked things from affecting either bbninjas or PikaMasterJesi? That sounds like a possible ability, though I am not sure, I can't remember seeing that before.

Sorry if this isn't making sense, Just don't see why it had to be Rainyman123 who was targeted with being blocked and why it couldn't have been one of the others.

While there could be a role that is blocking actions from being made on Jesi and myself, generally the host will say "Jesi and bbninjas could not be acted on" instead of "you were blocked", which is what rainy claimed.

Also, Rainy was probably panicking considering how much he posted after TGK claimed.

 

[bbninjas]

*facepalm*

I just realised something...

"The Separatists win when all <b>Republic (Senators)</b> have been removed from the game."

Don't reveal whether or not you're a Senator.
