EB Mafia

[DLD PE]

Maybe the mafia thought too much attention was being drawn to @MEtoEE. So in an attempt to muddy the waters they assigned @_TheDude_ to slip in that comment on his way out.

I didn't even get voted on yesterday and this morning only 1 comment/vote from @JayKay PE before @_TheDude_ made his comment, so no it can't be from any attention.

EDIT:  @_TheDude_ retracted his statement.

 

[JayKay PE]

Ok so if @_TheDude_ doesn't post his evidence of talking to me about the PE exam in private, or retracts his statement, and @JayKay PE STILL votes for me, then she's definitely mafia.

The mafia just blundered in my opinion.  @JayKay PE can't vote for me without exposing herself.

So if I vote for you, I'm obviously mafia.  If I change my vote in response to your accusations, I'm obviously mafia.

I mean, you just boxed me into a corner in a way of defending yourself.  Also, you PM'd me today, AFTER I had voted for you.  If you had PM'd me yesterday, when we were both voting for chart, maybe I would have believed you more.  Also, you are one of two people who voted in alignment with Dude last night.  I think you're just mafia who is angry that another member got pissed at being voted off and out'd you.

I agree with this.  Otherwise, what is the point of the game?

True, good point (unless you're the Astros or Patriots).

Nice try.  You can call it what you want, but I'm simply taking advantage of the mafia blunder.  

Vote for me at your own risk.  I dare you.  If I get killed, you'll be exposed.

Or back down and we'll all work together to find out who the remaining mafia are.

I'm not angry.  Just enjoying my lunch break

A few observations from previous games:

1. posting screenshots in the public forum has ALWAYS ENDED POORLY FOR EVERYONE. At some point we actually banned it in the general game rules.
   
2. You generally can't read too much into the first day's vote. Most votes are random. Some people, self included, tend to abstain from voting on the first day unless they have an actionable reason to vote. Occasionally you can figure out who isn't mafia based on the vote, but this is the exception.
   
3. Don't bother going down the rabbit hole of multiple branching scenarios. It's a waste of time and energy, especially early in the game. which follows with:
   
4. Most people don't spend a lot of time thinking about the game logic and strategy. No theory of a convoluted plot has played out. Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar.
   
5. The few times someone tried to go "galaxy brain", it failed spectacularly within 24 hours.
   
6. Its just a game, don't take it personal, don't make it personal

I gotta admit, moderating this is super fun.

I'll drink to that!  Well, not until tonight lol.

Btw I realize it's just a game and all in fun, and I love it.  However, it's more fun when you can act serious about it lol.

You beat me to it.

The mafia blunder that stated you were mafia?

Yeah, I'm boxed into a corner because no matter how I vote to you, that means I'm mafia, thus meaning I can't actually trust you from now on.  So, yeah.  This townie really doesn't trust you.

I'm not going to back down.  Your accusations are **** and there is still 8 hours for me to figure out who you really are.

This sounds like a mafioso that doesn't want townies to think logically. Maybe the town is too close on the mafia scent, so they're trying to create confusion.

 

[RBHeadge PE]

anyone got any puppy photos to help break the tension?

 

[Orchid PE]

Shoot. I completely missed my 5k post.

Now they're trying to distract with puppies.

Let's see who posts photos......

Woah that's harsh!  No.  If you don't vote for me, it means you are a townie since @_TheDude_ retracted his statement.  If I get voted off tonight and you still didn't change your vote (because everyone will see the truth) it makes you look highly suspicious.  But you keep your vote because you're trying to avoid suspicion, I get that.  

Sorry you feel boxed into a corner, but I wasn't going to take it lying down.
