Halo: The Mafia: Day 6: End of the World as we KnowIt (9/25)

[crazymilkshake5]

maybe vodean has to stay alive to a certain day to find what shes looking for and win?

[new guy1]

My assumption was vodean has a role that has to find someone with a night investigation and will then either win/will find something out for the group. I kinda want to leave him alone cause I dont want to reveal something that might screw us over, but I also want to know the secret since it might be detramental to town in a way.

[zimmah]

I think we're in pretty good shape, already 2 mafia down, and we lost only 3 townies, of which none of them seemed to have a very great role. And apparently only 1 person was taken so far, apparently. The two 3 rd party guys, well, it's sad, but not that hurtful either I guess. If we keep this up, well be fine.

I wonder what vodean does indeed, he seems to be some kind of detective but I wonder is he a good guy or a bad guy, for some reason the camera keeps jamming when it records vodean, I wonder, if it keeps jamming, does vodean do that, and why would he? Does he have something to hide. Its risky to pressure him though, maybe we could use him. At least it seems like he wasn't infected like I thought the first night.

Do we have anything to go from?

[edocsil]

Shot in the dark here. Shaggy. You here?

[DiM]

i think we should all post and whoever is not posting is the missing person, right?

[Campin_Killer]

Looks like we've got a possible janitor, and vodean might be a thief...

Not sure

[LSU Tiger Josh]

jak is messing with us.
vodean is town and anyone targeting him will be shown on the cam
possibly had a nice save by thhe doc but doc shouldn't claim or reveal at this point

[vodean]

thanks LSU. and as far as i know, i have not been recruited by cult. i am not entirely sure why i keep appearing on camera, or why the camera cuts out whenever it sees me. i have no idea whether people targeting me will be seen on camera, but it seems like they wont be seen (going by the N1 scene where it seemed like someone targeted me). i am a town power role, and think i may as well claim because it is obvious that i am a power-role, so it wont affect scum.

I am town cop. i got two innocent results thus far, on edoc and safari. It would seem that there is more to my role (because of the camera, etc.) but i have no further info.

which safari?

[samgrossy]

I am not sure if this is going to get anywhere, but there have been alot of people on the "inactive" side of this. Which either means they can't talk, or aren't playing along. For example, I know that Chuck voted me D1, and has said a peep since.

[ShaggyDan]

Pretty busy atm, will be able to post this afternoon. Nothing vital to report. I have some minor info that I'll keep to myself for now but will reveal by the end of the day (in-game day that is).

[DiM]

so shaggy is not the one missing. just like edocsil, i too was thinking shaggy would be the missing person.

[safariguy5]

Nope, I'm not the person who went missing either. It's disconcerting a bit, the person who went missing might have been recruited by the flood and "going missing" is flavor to indicate that.

[thehippo8]

I'm here

@ Shaggy - looking forward to hearing that - anything is helpful at this stage!

@ Vode - my take is that someone is operating the video camera, they want to know what you are looking for and every time they get close they get jammed - they always click save though so I'm pretty sure that it's not you operating the video camera - it's intriguing!

Still pondering on what all this means.

[DoomYoshi]

i only voted redhedge to make the "yom"ean joke so unvote.

Seems scummy to me. Why would you vote a person just to joke, but then carry it forward to claimtime?

Still catching up now.

[pancakemix]

I'm not a missing person as far as I know.

[vodean]

it could be that saf got recruited because he seems to have rather advanced theories about the missing person. but who knows.

[DoomYoshi]

Caught up, I am glad I replaced pmc. Feel free to hold me accountable for his actions as I don't vote noobs on day 1 either.

Vote the chuck

[ShaggyDan]

Thoughts on Vodean: From the scenes I initially thought it was someone else targetting Vodean and putting him in the scenes (in blue)... though I am confused as to why they would target him twice in a row.

Camera 023
*Motion Detected*
***Recording***
A few dark figures are seen in a room. Many have their eyes on one another. However, one can be seen clearly. Vodean is seen rummaging in through another person's personal items. He takes time looking at everything, as if trying to figure something out about that person. There is one man in particular behind Vodean that the camera picks up. He seems to be coming in a bit too close for comfort although Vodean does not seem to notice what's going on as he's still busy looking through all the different personal items.Another motion is detected and the camera goes black.
*Connection Lost*
**Attempting to Reestablish Connection**
*Connection Attempt Failed*
**Attempting to Find Source of Problem**
***Power has been cut, rebooting to emergency backup power***
***Recording***
No one is in the room anymore, they just vanished as quickly as they came in.
****Recording Ended, Save File?*****
Someone nearby clicks save and uploads the footage onto the Captains main screen on the bridge.

Camera 048
*Motion Dectected*
***Recording***
The room was dark, only a solo figure stood in the room, shifting through more personal possessions of a fellow crew member. He threw clothes onto the floor as he looked for something, anything, he could find. Upon turning his face the camera's facial recognition recognized Vodean, once again looking for something.
"It's here somewhere", the camera overheard him mutter to himself.
Upon checking the rest of the room the camera sees no one else in the room.
Vodean was about to bring something up he found from behind the bed before the camera went dark.
*Connection Interrupted*
**Attempting to Reestablish Connection**
***Connection has been jammed***
*Camera Offline*
****Recording Ended, Save File?****
Yes was clicked. The figure soon vanished.

As for the claim; it is definitely solid claim, and the flavour from the scenes support it. I am surprised you came forward and out'd yourself with very little pressure. Some people even saying they were happy to let you continue on as you were. The reasoning of "scum already knows I'm a power role" is redundant because nothing extra was revealed between days 2 and 3. I'm not sure if it's neseccarily scummy, but I definitely find it odd. I would have waited to gauge more peoples reactions first.

Further from the scene flavour: it seems to show if he was targeted and gives some flavour as of what by. Also on both days it mentions who else was in the room. This could be also a way of showing who else is also targetting the person that Vodean targetted. So on night one there were multiple people targetting Vodean's N1 target and on N2 there was no one targetting Vodean or his target (in Green). This could be either a secret part of Vodean's role or the result of a power of someone else.

I would like a name-claim as well or at least some kind of description so people who know about the flavour can confirm for sanity. Not the major issue though.

Also @Vodean, which night did you visit which person. It might be vital to know this down the track if we find out that the extra people in the room on night one become relevent. As a gut instinct I'm thinking that night one having many people in the room looking at each other could be indicitive of a cult or mafia and you may have hit a 'Godfather'-esque role. Though this is all speculation.

As for the person going missing, it could be a whole variety of things. Recruitment, silencing, a kill that has already happened but won't be revealed by the end of the day... I don't think it's a janitor because the thread title is still 18/25 so a silencing or delayed kill seems most likely. I can't think of anything else that logically makes someone disappear.

The info that I am keeping to myself is really only useful in catching mafia in a fake-claim. I could go more into detail about my night actions but I don't think there's anything too vital there. Since I'm already partly out if we get stuck for leads I'll gladly put out all my actions over the last two nights.

[ShaggyDan]

grossys vote puts him at L4 by my count. alot of people seem to forget that votes need to be blue

and i am also on jgordons side. and do not believe shaggys claim, for most of the reason zim pointed out.

and if you all do decide to lynch jg at least get a claim before you do.

Also, we never got a response from this. And the person he was defending turned out to be the Mafia "Leader" (from what I can gather).

Vote crazymilkshake5

At the very least I want an answer from my question on day 2 about the reason that didn't seem to be there. Plus jgordon's response to your defence of him seems like blatant scum buddying.

[thechuck51]

I'm not missing.

I am not sure if this is going to get anywhere, but there have been alot of people on the "inactive" side of this. Which either means they can't talk, or aren't playing along. For example, I know that Chuck voted me D1, and has said a peep since.

I find this statement rather odd. To me it implies some sort of inside info that only scum would know. vote samgrossy

Caught up, I am glad I replaced pmc. Feel free to hold me accountable for his actions as I don't vote noobs on day 1 either.

Vote the chuck

I have a strong feeling that samgrossy is scum and I'm going to pull a "Yomiel" here and FOS Doom since I think the two of them are setting me up for a bandwagon.

[ShaggyDan]

Sorry for the triple post, but also just to make something clear that I forgot to:

I busdrove Iron Butterfly and Hippo on night one. Iron Butterfly was killed by mafia. So the mafia were targetting Hippo.

Failing some other sort of busdrive or re-direct that means that Hippo isn't mafia unless mafia had a reason to target one of their own.

I'm not saying Hippo is cleared and innocent (there's most likely a whole bunch of other evilness here) but from that we could make the assumption he isn't mafia. Which can be useful looking back at vote patterns or defences.

Fastpost'd by Chuck: I find it a bit odd you're only coming back to respond to votes on you. I don't see how that info seems like only something scum would know... it just seems like a logical deduction; "They either aren't able to post or they're not playing." I don't think you're vote or FOS worthy but I'd like to hear your thoughts on the events of day 2 (which you missed) and any spec you might have on night two.

[Campin_Killer]

Chuck, quick question...

I noticed you posted nothing Day 2, which is fine if you were bogged down, but I just want to know if there was a reason?

EBWOP, got fastedposted by Shaggy.

I pretty much have the same questions: Why respond to the votes after saying nothing for a full game day

[vodean]

actually, going off of the warm-up game, this does sound like a cult recruit since everyone seems to be alive and posting, and the flavor is somewhat reminiscent. i actually think that chuck, you seem scummier than sam or Doom. i think you are being jumpy and defensive before there is even any pressure on you.

fastposted some more. and edoc was N1. safguy N2
