Mafia Round 3 – The Tide of Fate Turns

[BreakABone]

I understand why Jeepnut doesn't trust me, but I don't get the rest of you.

Anyhow here's the story with Jeepnut as far as I could figure, I was speaking with him during round 1 because you always want to make friends or whatever. And I suggested it would make sense to vote for dylflon because the move was so out of the blue, he had to be messing with us.

But by the time I cast my vote, there was already a 3-4 vote island between manasecret and Dylflon. So I figured it made no sense to fight the tide.

And I can see how Jeepnut would feel wishy washy about that, my thing is
1) http://www.gametavern.net/forums/sho...3&postcount=84
The vote switch was made at the VERY last minute, and I don't see why it was needed as it wouldn't swing the victory one way or another.

And when I asked him about it, he got defensive and has yet to answer me.

Day 2:
http://www.gametavern.net/forums/sho...1&postcount=57
He was right about Combine, but the fact that he didn't feel there was some coordinated attack, probably even including some Mafia baffles me when Ric/Combine ended up with the same number of votes.

Day 3:
http://www.gametavern.net/forums/sho...7&postcount=31
And now the current day, which he votes for me because I am leading the votes even though I have yet to vote for anyone.
And actually won't vote for Dylflon unless it comes down to me and him, for the simple fact that I believe he is the Seer, and I have a 3rd party who agrees with us. He has promised us results that I hope bear fruit tomorrow.
And for someone who blames other for leading votes, I would like to point out that pretty much every vote has followed his lead since posting this.

My thoughts, I feel that Jeepnut screwed up round 1 with me, and is just looking for a way to amend his damage before I can get any associates for a rallying vote.

That's my case anyhow.

I was waiting for this. I knew it was coming as soon as you PMed me to question my vote change. I made my change after I saw that you wound up voting Mana even though you said you didn't want to. I was just trying to save face. I felt that was pretty obvious.

You see, this is what BreakaBone does. Don't be fooled by the fact that he hasn't voted yet. He is in fact leading the vote or at least attempting to. He holds his own vote close until he feels he's convinced enough people to make it safe for him to commit to a vote. I know. He did this to me and he did it to Ric.

You see, I was in contact with him during the first round. He wanted me to change my vote to Dylflon because he felt that voting for Mana was a waste. I agreed with this assessment, but I was worried about painting a target on my back that early by voting for the supposed seer. I asked him if he could rally enough support to sway the vote and he said he would see what he could do. As a show of faith and to get the ball rolling, I changed my vote to Dylflon. I return near the end of the round to find that he had never put in a vote for Dylflon himself. He was playing his waiting game and when it became obvious to him that he wasn't going to be able to swing the vote this early, he grew cowardly and put in with the rest of the crowd and left Ric and I out to dry.

BreakaBone is playing people. And I'm willing to bet that he's doing it from the wrong side.

For those who are unsure, you have solid evidence that I'm on the good side. You can't say the same for BaBs.

You do? I've reviewed all of the posts and I really didn't see anything substantial one way or another. All of this finger pointing is getting a little bit old from both sides.

What I do know is that one way or another this is going to get sorted out and for now...

!vote Jeepnut

[Bube]

Hmm.. This is getting confusing. I'm getting suspicious of Jeepnut as well, but don't really want to help vote him out now. I'm going to waste my vote.

!retract BaB

!vote Swan because nobody else is probably going to vote for him. If more votes for Swan are given, I'll retract and vote somebody else with no votes.

[BreakABone]

What solid evidence do we have that you are on the good side?

You voted Mana/Dylflon on Day 1... on my behest perharps, but either one was a safe bet.

Day 2, you voted Combine not because you felt he was guilty but because in your own words Ric had contacted you and Combine hadn't.

You are currently leading a charge against me, point to a period of time where you have done some nobel deed that proves your ultimate goodness?

As for my behavior, I've been at GT long enough for people to know I'm 2 things
1)Manipulative
2)Power hungry

Yeah in one Mafia I had Angrist killed so I could absorb his power.
In the last Mafia, I used some underhanded tactics to weed out the Mafia.

I'm not ashamed of what I do, its what needs to be done.

You start the game trusting only yourself, you use any and all means to weed out those who you think may act suspicious.

As of right now there are 3 people I truly trust in this game, Dylflon, the person he seered and someone else who I won't name drop to protect.

I thought Ric was guilty for his flip flopping vote.
I feel you are guility because of this one man agenda you have against me.
You keep mentioning some shadow organization, but its becoming clear that you have formed your own alliances.

Look at the way the votes went down in Day 2. Without my vote, Combine likely survives. There is no logical reason for a mafia member to make the deciding kill vote for another mafia member.

Yes I did tell you that I didn't have a good reason for voting for Combine at the time. What does it matter? Combine turned out to be mafia so my vote was justified regardless of it's motivations. My method may not have been ideal, but you can't argue with the results.

Unless you're mafia of course...

[thatmariolover]

I'm also going to hold off on the Dylflon train. If we're going to burn for trusting him, we may as well go all the way. At least until trust can be established.

!retract Dylflon

I have to review all of the posts and I will vote again once I'm sure I haven't missed anything obvious.

[Fyacin]

Dy, you should reveal who you seered. Then we know at least a few people who are definetley good if you die and are innocent, so we know we can trust the names.

I mean, the mafia know who are innocent anyway. The only peice of information the don't know is the vigilante. (Or if you are mafia we have another seer somewhere.)

[BlueFire]

After considering both sides, I'm stumped. Neither side has proven itself innocent. I need to hold back for now.

!retract jeepnut

Something is off, and I'm sure either you or BaB belongs to the mafia.

Not to steal the thunder from the two opposing forces at the moment, but I have a natural tendency to distrust the quiet ones in this game. You know who you are.

I'll be casting my vote later.

[Angrist]

Ok I cycled to a university building to change my vote. I'm convinced that it makes no sense to kill off Dylflon at this point.

I also did some reading in day 1 and 2.

Day 2: Combine randomly votes for Nighthawk. Changes his vote later to Fyacin. Both could be decoys though.
People to vote for Combine: Bube, Darmani, Germy, Fyacin, Jeepnut. Jeepnut's voice was pretty decisive.

Day 1: Combine votes for Dylflon.
People who vote for Combine: TML.

I could go into further detail by closely looking at who voted for the guys that were executed by the mafia, but I don't have the time for that. And to be honest, I don't care that much.

There's just one guy who's been making very suspicious posts. Look them up and decide if you agree. I'm going home now.

!Retract Dylflon
!Vote BlueFire

[BreakABone]

I would just like to point out once more as I went through the front page that unless I misread something I wrote that I never mentioned one way or another where I was leaning in my vote.

And to save time since we all know where I am going today.

!vote Jeepnut

[Nighthawk]

Wow suddenly everyone turned against Bab... Now it's a Bab vs. jeepnut thing huh?

I don't know why jeepnut and the others decided to against Bab, obviously there are PMs and I'm out of the loop... anyway I'll just wait a little more for my vote.

[Dylflon]

Anyone care to do a vote count?

[Vampyr]

I'll go with Jeepnut. If he turns out to be Mafia, we can probably assume Dylflon is too.

If he turns out to be a villager, we can probably assume BaB is a mafia.

We have Mafia outnumbered, it won't hurt to trade them out a little.

!retract Dylflon

!vote Jeepnut

[BreakABone]

Too lazy to double check so if anyone wants to find out

Jeepnut- 3
BaB- 3
Dylflon- 1
Swan- 1
Bluefire- 1

LEaving 5 votes to go?
