Mini 624 - Game Over!

[Inspector Godot]

So we either have two cops or one of you is lying.... I'd love to vote for Chenhsi but I want there to be a lynch today and both of you could very well be cops.

[Dark wingstalker]

I trust house more then Chenshi.

Realistically, how likely is it for there to be two cops??

In a mini, not very high. I've been in a game with two one-shot vigilantes, though, and we essentially quicklynched the second one after he claimed (after the first was long dead). We lost—and scum that I never suspected got clean away. My fault for the loss, too.

[nhat]

I don't see why maxwellhouse would bluff about this. He's nowhere close to being in danger, whereas chenhsi claimed cop after getting bandwagoned something severe. Unless maxwellhouse is an overanxious scum trying to get the cop out of the way, but I just don't have any back up to make that assumption.

I also don't think that there are two friggin cops in this game, so.....

Unvote

Vote - Chenhsi

[imaginality]

Okay. I wasn't sure whether to believe maxwellhouse's claim, but a re-read of his posts (particularly 275 and 286) definitely makes me pretty inclined to believe him.

I'm very willing to vote chenhsi now, but a question first: I agree that two sane cop seems highly unlikely, but it's easier to believe that there might be two (or more) cops if one or more of them is naive/insane/paranoid. However I don't know if mini normal games (a) are allowed to have (and (b) sometimes/often do have) multiple cops of varying sanities. Is that possible/plausible?

[Wumbo]

If max is claiming cop, then my suspicions are definitely toward Chenhsi. I thought his cop claim was iffy but I saw no counterclaims till now.

vote: Chenhsi

[Inspector Godot]

Well if my counting is correct DWS is at L-2. I found Chen scummier but the fact that no one counter claimed was enough for me to remove my vote. But now, I'm more than happy to remove my vote from DWS and take him down to L-3. If we get to the deadline and there are more votes on DWS then Chenhsi I will change though as I don't want a no-lynch on day 1.

Unvote DWS

Vote Chenhsi

[nhat]

Mod, will there be a deadline extention?

[Litral]

Chenhsi would've been lynched without a claim, and now that he has no effective safe claim... let's move on.

vote: chenhsi

[Dark wingstalker]

Yeah, i think a Deadline extension is in order.

Still, Looks like chenshi's luck has run out. Interestingly though, why would he make that claim, knowing there was another cop out there? Panic? Poor thinking?

Either way

Unvote

Vote: Chenshi

[Cass]

I have no clue why he would, but then I have no clue why Chenhsi acts the way he acts, ever. I still think DWS is scummy, but two cops is pretty hard to believe. I don't see scum counterclaiming like Max did, so I do believe Max.

Unvote
Vote : Chenhsi

I think that's L-1 (not that I'd mind hammering)

[Battousai]

I'm hesitant to lynch chenshi. There could actually be 2 cops in the game of different sanities. Why didn't maxwellhouse claim sooner, heck why did maxwellhouse counterclaim at all d1? It's bad play, imo, for the cop to counterclaim D1 because it's a trade cop for scum. The cop could always counterclaim later, AFTER using their ability at least once. Heck if they get NK'd then the lieing cop would be lynched that day. My vote stands for now, as I would like both of the claimed cops to get an investigation in, and then tell us.

[Cass]

I considered that, but don't see how it would clear things up. What if they both say they checked the other, and got a guilty? Or a lying scum could name any player whatsoever and say he got 'innocent'. It proves nothing.

I agree the claim seems to make no sense. But Chenhsi's death could give us lots of information: if he's scum, Max is probably honest (and we hope there's someone around who can protect him). If he's a cop, Max is probably scum.
The only catch I can see is they're both scum... seems highly unlikely, but in any case it makes Chen still a good lynch today.

[chenhsi]

You ignored the possibility that we are both scum. (Which isn't true).

[Cass]

EBWOP: and differing sanities would take several nights to figure out, we don't have the time to potentially keep a scum alive for such a length of time.

[StrangerCoug]

Well, Dark wingstalker is at least trying to play. chenhsi, on the other hand, has done nothing to help town and has given very,

VERY

little of his opinion. Cops shouldn't sit watching from the sidelines.

Unvote: Dark wingstalker
Vote: chenhsi

If cass is right about the vote count, then this is lynch minus zero.

[chenhsi]

You suck.

You all suck.

Stupid maxwell.

I hate you.

*sigh*

Go town?

[chenhsi]

I was the cop by the way.

[StrangerCoug]

chenhsi, once you're lynched, you're not supposed to give any game-related information. This mod allows "bah" posts (and you've made quite that post), but post #367 is against the rules.

[chenhsi]

Oh really, I was used to being able to talk all I want as long as my death scene was posted, sorry.

[StrangerCoug]

Where I first played Mafia in cyberspace, you can talk all you want to, dead or not. You just can't kill anybody. (I had a

REALLY

hard time adjusting to MafiaScum.net because of its radically different play style, but now I can switch from one to the other as if they were languages in which I were bilingual.)

[chenhsi]

EBWOP: my death scene

wasn't

Day Two dawns on a sad note. Imaginality, a townie, lies dead in the town square. You immediately band together to find the killer. Justice must be done!

With 10 alive, it is 6 to lynch.
