The Hobbit Mafia - GAME OVER

[Uraj45]

I count 6 as well.

Vote Argoti

. Seems to be a sound choice to me.

[Jaylen]

If Argoti is scum, I'm not sure if I'm going to feel sorry for him, or just snicker

Anyway, I'm more than happy to leave my vote on him.

Has anyone any ideas why PeaceBringer got whacked? I've read back, and nothing he said has jumped out at me...

[PeaceBringer]

that sucks--

okay I am dead now.

Mod roles might be nice if you do that and now I go silent.

Poop.

[Flying Dutchman]

Vote: Argoti

Although my ability is almost useless I did get a result last night.......

[Jaylen]

mmhmm, and are you going to tell us more, perchance?

(not that I see myself changing my vote anyway, I'm just curious)

[the silent speaker]

This seems easy enough.

Vote: Argoti

and FOS Jaylen because why should FD be made to spill more beans than he has to?

[MMCL]

Sorry - I've been a bit absent - why argoti?

[the silent speaker]

Ultra-cruddy roleclaim and FD contradicted his claimed results, mainly.

[MMCL]

sounds good - what defence from argoti?

[Jaylen]

This seems easy enough.

Vote: Argoti

and FOS Jaylen because why should FD be made to spill more beans than he has to?

Why? Imho, since there was no need for FD to have said anything about an investigation role in the first place - Argoti is the only viable lynch candidate, and I'm worried that FD is using Argoti as a patsy in order to look innocent himself.

I know I'd sure as hell not have said anything if I had such a role - the bandwagon on Argoti is so strong I would have just kept silent and voted due to the roleclaim Argoti gave, and

not

exposed myself as a mafia target the following night having said in essence "Dear Mafia, I have a power that makes me worth killing"

[Internet Stranger]

Whatever, lynch him.

[Argoti]

It looks like I'm dead anyway

You know, this game is nigh-impossible for scum under a bandwagon. No way to roleclaim properly...

Vote Count

Argoti

(8)

[the silent speaker]

He didn't say he has an investigative ability. He said he has an ability and he got a result. It doesn't have to be an investigation he got the result of.

[Jaylen]

Well, gosh - what else

could

he have meant then, TSS?

/sarcasm

[Yaw]

Well, now that he's confessed, can we finish him off?

You know, this game is nigh-impossible for scum under a bandwagon. No way to roleclaim properly...

Yeah, I've been reaching that conclusion myself. It's the reason I haven't been pushing for mass roleclaims or anything like that. I'm afraid it will break the game, and I'd prefer to win through my scum-catching skills than because there aren't any safe scum claims. That's my sense of fair play, I guess.

Also, I don't have that roleclaiming problem.

[MMCL]

Vote: Argoti

...

[Internet Stranger]

If Mike made the game and didnt leave room for scum claims, the scum should lynch him afterwards.

Cant we just delcare night now?

[Jaylen]

well, all the dwarves could come forth...

[CoolBot]

I think we might as well wait until the next day before doing anything like that. No need to get the mafia the info before we need to.

[mikehart]

Thats it. Argot is lynched. Too tired to do a lynch scene rigfht now so ill just say he was a spider.

Choices

[Jaylen]

Yay! And another scum bites the dust

Is this some kind of record, btw?

[mikehart]

As the town awakens from a very long, fitful night. They crowd around and a head count was taken. Internet Stranger and drummer97531 were found missing. As the town aproached Internet Stranger's home they find a withered old man with a staff wrapped in silk. As the town contemplated this they trekked to drummer's house where they found his body riddled with slashes across the neck and face. Next to the body they find a scimitar, and notes addressed to "Bombur" and signed "President"

Internet Stranger (Gandalf) is dead.
Drummer97531 (Bombur) is dead.

Go my children and discuss, but I swear if one more person tells me to move into day again they will be smited by the mighty smiter.

[Yaw]

Ok...I assume by the lack of an evil motive on the front page that Gandalf was pro-town. Still guessing on that one -- who can tell with IS? Kind of a moot point, though.

Best guess has 2 gobs and 2 spiders left. I'll reread tomorrow and hopefully come up with something.

And I will object strenuously to breaking the game through mass-claiming. My reasoning is purely from gamesmanship -- and if you look back at how I've been playing, you should see why I don't feel we need it to take out all the scum.

[Yaw]

Where

is

everyone?

Initial reread done. Stuff noticed:

Front page -- PeaceBringer's dead, and it isn't listed. Minor annoyance, but still.

Worse annoyance, your list of people who require replacement: Gaspode, Lord Gurgi, Narninian, Shivan_Dragon.

That said, it's apparent that at least one member of each remaining scum group is here, so we don't have to rely on hunting lurkers. I will, however, note that Lord Gurgi threw some accusations Jediknight's way on day 1 while never actually voting for him. I think that's worth checking out when the replacement for him shows up -- it could be indicative of Goblinness.

A couple of circumstancial FOSes go out here.

FOS: Uraj45

, and

FOS: Yggdrasil

. Both are due to long absences in the middle of the game. I think it's possible that at least one was scum away for the infamous night of no kills, and we're getting kills now because they're back. It's just a theory at this point.

I'm also not quite sure what to make of Tigris. On the one hand, she was the first to even mention the possibility of a spider group (and discounted it at the time on day 1, before there had been a spider kill). On the other hand, she somehow has Corsato listed as a spider on her analysis list of yesterday, and I find it strange she'd make that mistake if she actually were a spider.

Looking forward to replacements and input from others.
