Mini 1198 - Marketplace Mafia - Game Over

[Voidedmafia]

Well, I hope our robber's happy. <_<

Newman, that still doesn't explain why you decided to bid on Cop after most of us decided to let someone else have it.

[malpascp]

I think Newman has been screwing us around enough time. That Cop claim was scummy as hell. It would be absolutely pathetic if we lose the game and HN turns out to be mafia or SK.

@hiphop: it's useless to protect Newman if he uses Peace Treaty.

No one told me why am I today's lynch. Everyone should note that we don't have the NK, so this lynch is probabilly the most important of the game so far. If we mislynch, we will down to 4 town tomorrow (assuming the NK doesn't hit scum/SK).

Also, I will be V/LA until Friday. If you want me to bid on something, it's the time to say so.

@hiphop: I was going to use that bank tomorrow. I think now there is no use for it today. It would be possible to finally put our hands on the NK and to not be on this situation again. What do you suggest me to do?

[malpascp]

Oh damn.

V/LA until Friday

[Seacore]

I am very comfortable with the HN lynch.

[Ethos]

No, we're not lynching HN.

It should be obvious at this point that the majority of the SK's income is through the robber tool, we also know anti-town faction was winning night-kill with a bid of over $500 before the robber activated today therefore it's likely mafia are holding the night-kill.

We also know that Newman placed a bid of $340ish and $120ish on cop and peace treaty before robber was activiated adding up to $480ish, this essentially clears him of holding night-kill and being mafia unless you believe mafia have excess of $1000 and clears him of being robber/serial killer unless you believe he had $500 prior to robbing which is possible but not probable.

[Ethos]

That's enough numbers talk. Seacore, what's your reads on LLD and Mal right now?

[Lady Lambdadelta]

That's bad logic, Ethos. It's making several assumptions that you can't know to be true...

[GreyICE]

So the robber got
$50 day 1
$190 day 2
$212 day 3

So assuming he doesn't get any other sources of income and started with $100, he could have $500 today assuming he, I dunno, just won oracle?

Any other sources of income and this quickly becomes hilariously moot.

So I'd kinda like to know where you're going on that, Ethos. This number game all seems to be making assumptions about what scum have.

You know who I want to lynch, and I'm getting like... minimal support here, so explain mal to me one more time, nice and thorough.

[Ethos]

Far too tired to go into it in depth now but I'll do so in the morning without a doubt, GreyICE it's also provable that he won Medium.

[GreyICE]

Oh okay, so bring it up to $45.

I'll mechanically downgrade his scummyness, but it's a long shot from there to confirmed town.

Spoiler: Abridged Ability Glossary

• Cop (Targeted):
  Choose another player. You will receive back a report of “Mafia” or “Not Mafia”. You are guaranteed sane; however, other abilities may modify the result of the report.
• Forensic Accountant (Targeted):
  Choose another player who has died. You will learn every auction that that player won, if any.
• Night-kill (Targeted):
  Choose another player. That player will die unless protected.
• Peace Treaty (Targeted):
  This ability cannot be roleblocked. You are treated as targeting every other player. You will perform a roleblock on all Night-kill activations that target anyone *except for you*. However, any Night-kill that targets *you* will work regardless of any other abilities (that is, you cannot be protected and Night-kills on you cannot be roleblocked).
• Roleblocker (Targeted):
  Choose another player. All of their Targeted abilities that they activated for that night, except for roleblocks, will fail. Personal abilities will continue to work. Abilities that were not activated are not affected. If the Targeted ability would return a result, it will instead return “Ability failed”.

[HellloooNewman]

I was extremely frustrated at the time of the last post. Apologies for my language.

Why did I bid on Cop and PT? Because, regardless of what you all think of me and my aptitude for mafia, I want to win the game. I am an Entrepreneur, and I want to catch some scum. I felt like I was painted into a corner of basically having my votes/bids/etc decided for me, and it irritated me, causing me to lash out.

I am going to bid everything I have left on Peace Treaty. If the scum want to kill me tonight, then that is fine. I doubt I'll be missed much anyway. But, it'll prevent a 'useful' player from dying.

[Voidedmafia]

It's more like, "We already have people we trust going for cop, why are you going for it, too? Especially since we don't trust you."

[HellloooNewman]

I don't care if you trust me or not. I don't trust you. So what?

Friendly Reminder

Please remember the modification mentioned in #780, specifically as it relates to "sniping" an auction. I am essentially processing all bids for auctions that are ending today, that were also made *after* the vote count in #985, simultaneously when the auctions end.

[Ethos]

Newman, you're being ridiculous.

[HellloooNewman]

Yeah, you're probably right.

*shrugs*

[GreyICE]

Do we really want Peace Treaty claimed?

Didn't win either of the other two.

[Seacore]

Yeah, that's a rather good point. Sorry, distracted at work. Only the other two should claim.

[hiphop]

I was outbid on RB, at the deadline.

[hiphop]

[Lady Lambdadelta]

So what, now I have 500 dollars for the NK AND 500 dollars for the RB?

You shitting me?
