Ended Easy's One Punch Mafia (Game over, Town victory)

[Lotus]

I have been quiet, mainly because I have very little information and I'm finding it a little difficult to get a good read on anyone this game.

I think there's some value in the mods text though. Of the various nightkills, there have been 'killed' and 'executed'. Executed sounds like a Vig kill message. With that assumption, our SK and mafia were stopped last night. I highly doubt that, so I'm going to read the executed message as our SKs actions, meaning that he killed Riyant either by a lucky shot, or he did so calculated and strategically.
The only one of you to have notoriety enough to have done that would be Tim, the renowned SK, so I'll pretty much just instinctively FoS Tim for now. I feel like that thought process is a little too grasping at straws to pull a full lynch out of it.

There has been executed for both day and night kills. One hero possibly comes to mind for a role that might execute people, but I haven't read the manga and that would be metagaming a bit too much. There's clearly a distinction between regular kills and executions, and TC was both when he was lynched.

 

[Lotus]

Oh yeah, I overlooked that obvious bit of info. Thanks for pointing it out. Guess it completely invalidates my post.

 

[Rondait]

I hate to say that I have nothing to add, but Whitetiger kind of blew it out of the park with that post. I don't really know where to go from it though other than FoS Tim.

 

[Whitetiger]

Here is every non-lynch kill so far. Thank you to Lotus for bringing up the difference between the types of kills, it had slipped my mind.

Stealthy has been killed! He was...

JUSTICE ROAR!

Colonel%20Thunder has been lynched and also executed!

Tirin has been slain!
DAY THREE BEGINS.

Riyant has been executed!
Night 3 begins

Shadow has been executed!
Day 4 begins

So far only Riyant and Shadow have been targeted by an execute and been successfully killed. However on day 2 the serial killer tried to kill someone during the day and TC redirected it to himself right before he was lynched using his JUSTICE ROAR! ability. Nice play by TC. So what this tells us is that the executor is probably a serial killer who has an alternating day kill / night kill cycle.

Day 1: We lynch Req. No execute happens.

Night 1: Stealthy is killed by the mafia, Shizno is targeted by the SK but survives.

Nah, there's two night kills at least. The reason I know this is because I was actually targeted last night and survived. So yeah.

It most certainly wasn't a roleblock that saved my nice ass last night.

Day 2: we lynch TC and SK has a day kill that they try to target someone with before its redirected to hit TC.

Night 2: Mafia kill is stopped somehow. Serial Killer tries to kill Tirin but he regenerates.

Day 3: We lynch Youma and SK uses his day kill on Riyant.

Night 3: Mafia kill is stopped somehow, SK kills Shadow.

I am inclined to believe that the SK has a kill every single day and night phase except day 1 and has been very unlucky because a bunch of the players probably have some sort of insurance against kills (such as armor or regeneration in Tirin's case), balancing out his crazy amount of kills.

Maybe the serial killer is someone like Speed of Sound Sonic who can kill unarmored targets at a very high speed but doesn't have really have any kind of armor penetration? (Sorry if that's considered OGI or meta or something but it is one punch man) In the OP Easy says he wants the SK's chance of winning to be approximately equal to the chance of town or mafia to win. This would add merit to the idea that he has a ridiculous amount of kill power.

I think that before jumping to any conclusions yet is a bad play. We should use our time wisely and look over who's been involved in what lynches and draw up a decent list of suspects accordingly, instead of overly concerning ourselves with who's innocent (unless we have a very good reason to believe they are, or know they are for a fact). One flaw with WT's list that I'd like to point out is that it's entirely possible that Tag Ross is the SK, and confirming him as not because he helped lynch mafia doesn't make any sense.

I've got a final tomorrow morning, so I won't be able to contribute much more tonight, but I've got most of a list of suspects drafted up on my laptop and should be able to put it out tomorrow.

 

[Whitetiger]

The only point at which I said Tag was town was in my tl;dr which is an un-nuanced shortlist of my reads with no consideration for SK. When I went into detail of what I thought about Tag I specifically referred to him as "un-mafia" rather than town. Perhaps I should have been more consistent with my terminology.

 

[Easy]

Tirin has been executed!

(Fixed).

 

[Whitetiger]

Okay I'll edit my post to reflect the fact that it was a mafia kill that was stopped instead of an SK kill.

 

[Shizno]

Alright, so far my list of prime suspects would have to be:
Whitetiger
Tim
Tag Ross

With the amount of suspicion being mostly a hunch for Tag while Whitetiger is the highest on my radar. That being said, it seems that a decent amount of people have some amount of suspicion on Tim and I'd have nothing against lynching him. However, I'd prefer to wait on Tirin's analysis of his suspects before committing to anything just yet.

 

[Whitetiger]

Any particular reason why you think I'm scum other than my inactivity until today?

 

[AndyM03]

Any particular reason why you think I'm scum other than my inactivity until today?

The sudden death of two mafia members at once and then you turning into a sudden super town detective compared to your previous participation was suspicious in my mind and maybe Shizno's as well. Seems like scum desperation to subvert the town.

 

[Whitetiger]

I don't know if you noticed, but we had shit all to go off of on the previous days. Req and TC played so poorly that anyone, regardless of alignment, was inclined to lynch them. They both just started posting meme pictures and gifs and no actual reads, making it extremely difficult to gain any valuable information from their deaths.

We were well on our way to losing the game before we practically RNG killed Youma yesterday (Tag's reasoning was good, everyone else basically lynched him for inactivity) and got a lucky kill by the serial killer that basically saved us from certain defeat.

Like I said earlier in the game, I missed literally all of the discussion on day 1 and when I went back to read it, there was pretty much nothing useful (until now that we have 2 confirmed mafia dead). I'm not gonna weave together a bunch of bullshit when I'm town to try and act like we had any real clues as to who scum were. Now that we have substantial information, I'm going to capitalize on it.

 

[TimTh33nchant3r]

It might be wiser to look at the people who didn't have much to say and jumped on the second half of the wagon. With that in mind, FoS Tag, Youma, Rondait, and MAYBE Coolpool and Jeroth as well since at least Jeroth has the experience as mafia to know that being quiet attracts reduced attention and it's better to be on a wagon sooner rather than later. Of those, I'm kind of feeling Youma first and foremost.

Wonder how many of these other callouts are right... It was an earlier (actually, much earlier; I had to go digging way farther than I'd thought to find it) impression, and at the time I was kind of fixated on TC, but this list has been solid gold so far. What do you think, Tim 5/5? Probably not, but it'd be pretty cool.

To start off, Shizno is my most anti-mafia read.

Spoiler

I don't know that the guy isn't an SK, and he very well may be (he basically claimed night immune the day after stealthy died and there was only 1 night kill I believe). But at the moment I don't really give a shit.

Here he starts off day 3 with a scum read on Riyant and nobody else. Someone who we know is mafia. He then later is the 2nd one to hop on the Youma lynch. Tirin, Tim, and mafia Riyant all say this is is really scummy because of Shizno's reasoning that Youma won't be around much so he won't be useful to town anyway. Riyants very last post before his death was him hammering his teammate to buy town cred and also adding on to the shizno bandwagon (for some reason even though he knew Youma would flip mafia). I just don't think the guy is mafia based on him going after both the scum that died yesterday.

Just because Youma was scum doesn't magically make Shizno's logic not scummy. I don't know if it was his intent, but the way he wrote that conned as scummy to me then, and still does now. FoS Shizno. Lynching people because they aren't likely to respond is not a town reason. I joined the lynch on Youma because he was on my list of scum suspects, as was Riyant if you paid attention. Furthermore, if Youma had been inactive in the mafia chat, he might have seemed like a good choice for them to bus. No, starting the lynch on Youma does not absolve Shizno in my eyes at all.

Tim is a light scum read to me but not by a significant margin because I haven't dug very far into his posts yet and his posts yesterday weren't super scummy

Spoiler

I think Tim's spinning of Shizno's reasoning was probably a towny thing during the present tense at the time but in hindsight looks scummy because he instantly tried to defuse Shizno's lynch not by defending Youma but by attacking the creator of the lynch bandwagon that ended up going through. To his credit though, he did hop on to the lynch when there were only 3 others voting on him (though it did look pretty inevitable when Youma never posted by that point). Not sure about Tim. I'll lean toward scum for now but I need to dig more when I have more free time

Why the ever-living fuck would I defend someone I already called as scummy without gaining new information to change my mind first? I challenged Shizno then and continue to do so now because that post conned as seven flavors of scummy to me.

I have a lot I could say about this, but I really don't want to be a proper claimant. That shit's lame.

Did...did you, you know, READ the fucking OP?

Each player will be assigned a "Hero" role. Hero names may also not be roleclaimed.

Anybody spoiling major plot twits or reveals for non-readers or otherwise non-fans of the series will be dealt with very, very harshly. To the maximum level of harsh, actually. As I've told everyone straight-up before, plot details will not be relevant to the execution of this game - after all, I put a bunch of time into designing it so that they wouldn't be. If you risk ruining anything for anyone on the basis that I might be bluffing on this point, I'll fuck you right up. The end.

Don't tempt fate. Even if you're probably right about that because I literally thought the same thing the instant I saw him in the show.

 

[Whitetiger]

What I said was neither spoilers nor a roleclaim.

 

[TimTh33nchant3r]

What I said was neither spoilers nor a roleclaim.

Well, you did obliquely claim "Not Sonic."

 

[TimTh33nchant3r]

I also note that you have nothing to say about my epic rebuttal to your shitty attack.

 

[Whitetiger]

Well, you did obliquely claim "Not Sonic."

You don't know what role claims are.

I also note that you have nothing to say about my epic rebuttal to your shitty attack.

You don't know what epic rebuttals are.

 

[TimTh33nchant3r]

Patience expended.

Execute Whitetiger.

I may be channeling my role here, but fuck it.

I'm a doctor/vig. I've been covering myself, and attempted to kill Tirin on day 2. This failed due to TC, but it turned out he was a good guy. I killed Riyant on day 3, which by the way I felt really good about since I voted early on Youma too. I didn't use my kill on day one because I didn't have enough information to even gain information by executing people at that time. This one is by spite, but who knows? Maybe I'll get lucky and kill someone annoying and scum at the same time.

Either way, this won't proc until the end of the round, so if you guys want to lynch me for killing WT or any other retarded reason, go ahead. Just keep in mind my original list and also Shizno. I still win if the town wins, so we really need to lynch the SK. I'm pretty sure he'll be bulletproof or he wouldn't have the chance to win that Easy claimed he would, so lynching is likely to be the only way.

Screw you, Whitetiger, and Screw you too, Lotus. Don't think I didn't see that FoS. FoS Rondait, Tag, Lotus, and Coolpool. Lynch Shizno.

 

[Whitetiger]

Nice try.
