Mafia XXIII - The Experiment
The guests were arriving one by one.
A dark figure stood out by the window, watching as each of the twelve specially chosen individuals made their way up the long driveway into the castle that would become their home. Perhaps, their final home.
As a cold smile spread across his face, a voice behind him said, "Sir, should we begin our final preparations?"
Without turning around, the dark man at the window addressed his three friends. "Get ready. When you join our twelve guests, they must believe you are one of them. The whole plan depends on your ability to blend in. To act as innocents. You know what to do."
The three mafia exited the room and began making their preparations, blending in among the twelve guests, and setting up their next move.
---
That night, as the fifteen new residents of the castle settled into their new accommodations, wondering what might lay in store for them over the next few days. There was a sense of unease about the castle as each settled into bed for their first night in the castle. Each of them wondered when they would meet their host.
The dark figure watched all evening as the guests settled into their rooms. He watched as his three friends crept quietly into the room of their first victim, John Doe and silently stabbed him to death in his bed.
He continued to watch the next day as the guests discovered they were missing a person, then as they found the body.
In terror, the remaining 14 guests ran from the room, only to find the gate of the castle was lowered, preventing any escape. And on the door, where the dark figure had painted it the night before, shone the blood of John Doe, which spelled out the words:
There are murderers among you. No one may leave until the last of the murderers are dead!
The group began to argue. Accusations began to fly. The dark figure laughed to himself as he watched the guests struggle to defend themselves.
This was going to be fun.

Good morning, Luxtopia....
With all these cop roles, the only way to make them useful at ALL is if we work together and fast. My guess is that there are a good number of cops out there, so I'm sticking my head in the line of fire for tonight.
I am a (naive? confused?)cop, and ask all other cops to investigate me tonight.
If you get a guilty result, you are a confused cop, otherwise you are a real or naive cop.
Frankly, our roles are fairly nerfed, and the other roles are much stronger, so I don't mind throwing myself to the dogs if I must be the sacrificial victim.
Other than that, with no information to go by, I vote ABSTAIN as it's much more likely that we eliminate an innocent on Day 1 with no information, and hopefully we'll have at least a SLIGHTLY better chance tomorrow.

I've received a question about the Paranoid Gun Owner that I think would be relevant to share with everyone.
In the event that multiple people target the Paranoid Gun Owner on one night, the first PM I receive targeting the PGO will be the one who is killed. Any actions that come after that will be carried out as usual.
This means that if the Doctor targets the PGO, and then an hour later the mafia targets the PGO, the Doctor will be killed by the PGO and the PGO will be killed by the mafia.
On the other hand, if the Mafia targets the PGO first, the Mafia will be killed by the PGO, and the Doctor and PGO will both survive the night.
After one use, the PGO will lose their ability and become just like a Vanilla Townie.
If there are any other questions about it, please PM me.
P.S., This blue color is my color. Don't use it in your posts. It will be reserved for times like this when I have to step in and clarify rules. I'll stick to black in the narration section though.

I cant think of any reason not to say this so, I am going to reveal that I am a paranoid gun owner since it seems like a volatile role that is more potentially harmful to the innocents. I figure the mafia won't try to kill me until later in the game or by vote since they will lose a man now and they will have better luck at targeting someone more harmful to them. More importantly it seems more likely that a cop/healer innocent might perform a night action on me and end up dying.
I asked Smethy in pm if the mafia role blocker dies if he tries to block the paranoid gun owner and the answer is yes he would. That was the only loop hole I could think of that they could kill me without losing a man.

The logic is quite accurate, a paranoid gun owner would need to reveal themselves instantly, especially with only three mafia. However it should be noted that anyone falsely claiming this role really cannot be discovered without extra risk.Mud wrote:I cant think of any reason not to say this so, I am going to reveal that I am a paranoid gun owner since it seems like a volatile role that is more potentially harmful to the innocents.

I only bring the above up, because I too am a paranoid gun owner
Do not heal me. Investigate me at your own peril, I own a gun and I know how to use it (just not when to).

having the paranoid gun owners come forward is definitely the best move for the innocents, as we can avoid doctors and cops dying by visiting them. However, it is also an obvious role-claim for a mafia, as it discourages them from being investigated.
And I find it doubtful that we would have multiple PGOs in a game with only 14 people.
hmmm...

Here are my strategy recommendations:
- No more cops should reveal themselves to anyone, even via PM, until you know for sure what kind of cop you are.
- All cops should investigate n00less cluebie tonight. Even if the Mafia kills him, you'll still get the results of your investigations.
- Doctors and Faith Healers should not protect n00less cluebie tonight. If the Mafia is stupid enough to kill him tonight, it makes the cops' jobs easier. Besides, there's a chance that n00less cluebie is in the Mafia.

If n00less is mafia:SunTzu wrote:Besides, there's a chance that n00less cluebie is in the Mafia.
Regular cop: Guilty
Confused cop: Innocent
Naive cop: Innocent
If n00less is Godfather:
Regular cop: Innocent
Confused cop: Innocent
Naive cop: Innocent
If n00less is a cop:
Regular cop: Innocent
Confused cop: Guilty
Naive cop: Innocent
Only two chances out of nine possibilities that n00less comes up guilty.
Smethy what does the serial killer turn up as? He seems like a pretty guilty role.

I can certainly understand the sentiment, but what if he has a role important to the town? Are you saying his voting is that dangerous to his own side as well?SunTzu wrote:Enzo1997 has a tendency to help the mafia win. Even when he's innocent, his illogical comments and irrational behavior screw things up.simply4est wrote:Any reason?
Yes, and it's not just his voting pattern that is dangerous to innocents. He has a tendency to jump to illogical conclusions, which usually benefit the Mafia. That's why you'll rarely see the Mafia target him at night; they want to get rid of the good players first.simply4est wrote:I can certainly understand the sentiment, but what if he has a role important to the town?
