Mini 546: House Mafia - Game Over

[Adel]

only this:

I would like it to be by Shafted Daykill rather than a lynch.

ditto.

unvote

[Adel]

it still bothers be that being active and trying so hard to get reactions out of people and keep scum off balance is what is going to make me lose to a passive player who coasted to a late daykill of a non-scummy player and a win.

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

Yes, you are going to lose to me.

But that's because you're scum. and I'm town, and that's how it should be.

[Adel]

why would you kill CKD and not shaft.ed with your daykill again?

How was CKD more scummy than shaft.ed?

[vollkan]

why would you kill Erg0 and not shaft.ed with your daykill again?

How was Erg0 more scummy than shaft.ed?

[shaft.ed]

because he had been riding my coattails up till that point.

Because at that point I did not know who the scum were, so I couldn't just do things to seee what scum would do, I would do things to see what specific people would do.

Pooky rereading I don't see armlx riding your coattails. Care to point out where that is occuring.

I would like it to be by Shafted Daykill rather than a lynch.

Sure thing.

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

I had stated previously that I believed Shafted to be definitely townie.

My sentiments were the same as Vollkan's as to this point.

I killed CKD because I believe Shafted and Vollkan to both be town.

I have already stated this in my post-kill analysis/review/explanation.

Armlx is riding my coattails on day one because his vote basically follows mine around.

Armlx is riding my coattails on day one because his vote basically follows mine around.

Early D1 voting

shaft.ed: Pooky
Erg0: shaft.ed
CKD: Pooky
Adel: Pooky

Pooky: CKD

armlx: Erg0

DH/Near: TG
vollkan: TG
TG: DH/Near
Erg0: armlx
Adel: TG

Pooky: Adel

armlx: Adel

(didn't unvote first so vote did not count)
Adel: TG again
TJM/Beep: armlx

armlx: CKD

Adel: CKD
CKD: Adel
shaft.ed: Adel
Erg0: DH/Near
Adel: Erg0

Adel: TJM

Pooky: TJM

armlx: TJM

CKD notes armlx following Adel not pooky

-pooky begins inflammatory attacks on me

-next post Adel seems to be strongly running with this

armlx: shaft.ed

TJM/Beep: shaft.ed
Adel: fake votes shaft.ed

-pooky ends inflammatory attacks on me

-Obtained FoS's from TJM/Beep, TG, and vollkan in during that period

Not sure if the armlx following is as strong as you indicate. But there is a trend.

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

he doesnt follow on the first vote because it's rather early.


he starts following after that.

he also defends me heavily from CKD.

so i'd say he was pretty much gluing himself to me.

[shaft.ed]

Must keep up barnacle status.

Vote Adele

at least until we get a logical reason the mafia would be in the first group. Sounds like diversion to me.

It's weird that he actually admits to it with this post. Is that what he's saying here or am I misreading something?

[Adel]

why would you kill Erg0 and not shaft.ed with your daykill again?

How was Erg0 more scummy than shaft.ed?

as measued by votecount I thought it was clear.

[shaft.ed]

Stopping in before I head home.

I'm not online on Saturday's so I'd best have a concensus for the kill tommorow. I'll give vollkan the night to confirm his choice of Adel since he's in Aussieland. Adel and Pooky's choices seem obvious. I'm leaning heavily towards Adel with the PBP of vollkan to add to my previous suspicions. While Pooky hasn't contributed heavily, nothing is overly suspicious about him. If he has pulled this off I'm going to be quite annoyed.

[vollkan]

Well, shaft.ed and I are in agreement, so there is nothing left to do:

KILL: Adel

[Albert B. Rampage]

Volkan takes out a shotgun and pumps a bullet into Adel's brains. You all come out of the hospital and try your best to explain the situation to the detective. You are harassed by journalists and led to witness protection where you can't see each other or your loved ones for five days and five nights. You go to court to testify. Your stories all add up. You are released. Evening comes. A man is watching the six o'clock news. On the screen, he sees himself being escorted into the police van nearly a week prior. That man is Pooky. He is nervous. He takes a shot of tequila and finally decides to pick up his phone and dial a number. Another man picks up.

-Hello ?
-Its me. I've been...having nightmares. Of Karma Dog.
-It wasn't your fault. You know that.
-You don't understand...I see him everywhere. It feels as if he's always standing there behind me. If only...if only-
-Stop it. Its no use blaming yourself now.
-I...thank you.

He hangs up. In New York, two men are seated in the basement of a strip club.

-Who was it, doctor ?
-My colleague, Dr. Pooky.
-Does he suspect ?
-Of course not, Shafted answers with a wide, evil grin.
-Good. I will inform the Hezbollah headquarters that you have successfully infiltrated House's medical team. Our invasion of the Americas may begin.

The terrorists both stand up and shake hands.

As the bad doctor puts his sunglasses on and walks away, he quietly states: "Only Jack Bauer can stop us now."

[vollkan]

Very well-played. You had us all fooled.

[Albert B. Rampage]

TheJiveMachine - Good
Erg0 - Good
TrustGossip - Good
curiouskarmadog - Good
Dean Harper - Bad
vollkan - Good
PookyTheMagicalBear - Good
armlx - Bad
Adel - Good
shaft.ed - Bad

The mafia did not have a day kill.

[vollkan]

Really good game setup ABR. The twist dynamic really made this an enjoyable break from the standard night-day thing.

[Albert B. Rampage]

ahaha thanks. Oh man, you were at an inch from winning, literally

[Erg0]

Wow - I should have trusted my day 1 analysis after all.

This is probably a good case study of how badly a town can self-destruct when daykills are added to the mix. Adel and Pooky should probably have explained

why

they wanted shaft.ed to make the last kill, because I suspect that they thought he might not really have one (as did I towards the end).

Still, I thought Adel was most likely to be the scum simply because her fast kill on me looked like a desperate act, and not something that I would have expected from a rational townie. I'm not sure if she was going for the hero play or if she really misread the rules, but I was expecting her to realise that if she killed me and I was town then she'd be in serious trouble.

shaft.ed did well to recover from his poor showing on day 1, to the point where I didn't really start to think of him as possible scum again until Pooky killed ckd.

Good game overall, though I do think that the daykill phase ended up overshadowing the rest of it to an extent. I'm a bit disappointed that we didn't manage to win after such a good start, but I suppose I should have stayed alive if I wanted to do something about that.

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

bah vollkan

we had shafted so dead if you made him daykill

gg.

very nice game ABR

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

And very nice play shafted.

You really stood up well throughout the game.

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

Sorry adel.

<3

[Near]

I am surprised. I thought we'd lose because shaft.ed didn't have the day kill. I thought for sure vollkan would ask shaft.ed to daykill. I expected shaft.ed to either say he is going out of town or just lurk until the deadline hits.

Good job shaft.ed

[Near]

To be honest, if I was the last scum, I'd probably lost. After pooky used his day kill, I would have confessed immediately that I don't have a daykill. Because I would have thought that even if vollkan doesn't suspect me, he will surely make me do a daykill to end the game. That's what I was thinking anyway. Very fun game to follow even after I died.

[shaft.ed]

Vollkan, thank you so much, I was not looking forward to tommorow.

ahaha thanks. Oh man, you were at an inch from winning, literally

All the good doctors have been given a single day-kill.

I was seriously queezy after Pooky daykilled CKD. And he figured it out. Got very lucky here.


Near, you did a great job of getting bus'd. The unvote was a bit off but only CKD thought much of it.


Don't have time for more, but I'll get my thoughts up tommorow.
