The Dark (Mafia) - Game Thread

Showing up on jkl radar

Right now, biggest CIA suspects: Tenn, Peri, Clubs, (?Hood?)

Interesting move JKL, on that basis, [b]unlynch JKL[/b], if you are indeed the Town Cop then we could be a formidable team for the Town folk and at least to rid of CIA

[quote=periwinkle]Lol....I am soooooo confused. Question: If the win clause for cia is to kill all the researchers, If the win clause for researchers to kill all the cia, Wouldn't that mean by default the town will lose? There must be more to the clause...the town can't kill more than 1 person at a time. There must be more to both win clauses instead of just 1 condition. [b]#unlynch abs[/b] Ok show time jkl....gimme a cia agent...since you claim to know everything. [/quote] I can't give you a CIA agent until at least next turn. Even then I can't guarantee anything. If you want someone who I [b]SUSPECT[/b] to be a CIA agent, then you should vote Tenn

Why tenn?

[quote=jkl3699][quote=Rockbert]I am starting to think we need to not lynch Abs, it's true he is a researcher, and yes, if he dies that's half of what the CIA need to win the game. Jkl was good with getting Mada taken out, and for that we should be grateful, but let's not just jump on the wagon and follow him to a CIA victory.[/quote] Okay, let's go with it. If it ends up being a near tie or if it looks like neither will end up being lynched, I will most likely switch back to Abs. Though I do genuinely believe Tenn to be CIA. [b]#Unlynch Abs #Lynch Tenn[/b] [/quote] I agree with this strategy, including switching back if it looks to be a tie. If we do this, we should all be on board with the same plan in order not to turn this into a bad move. It is a good one if we stick together as town. I think we more than have the numbers to do this right.

Ok JKL, your hunches have been right so on that basis [b]#lynch Ten[/b]

[quote=periwinkle]Why tenn?[/quote] He was very fast to vote to lynch me during this phase, it was literally his first post. This makes no sense as at that time, I had just gotten a researcher lynched and had confirmed Abs to be a researcher. Why lynch someone who is likely town. Also, I just have a heavy hunch that he isn't town.

[b]abs[/b] - i have been in a similar position as you before - lynching a known bad guy is going to be hard for town to avoid - - you would have to prove your value to the town (which you have tried to do) and provide a viable alternative since we certainly do not want to lynch a townie by mistake . we might lynch a townie by mistake later if there is not a better option - but not now. i know you would not (should not) reveal any info on a known fellow researcher and it seems unlikely that you have any evidence of who is CIA - so you are in a hard spot and will likely die by lynch today. 2 dead researchers is likely still a long way to a CIA win and we know it is closer to a town win. [b]jkl[/b] - inspect me if you want to - but then who are we going to lynch ? do you have any idea how to solve my coded messages?

I agree with the thought process that Abs is outed and could be save for later, and finding a CIA agent would possibly be more Ideal. however I think the win clauses are more complicated for the CIA and researchers. if you read the opening post and the generic roles both of those factions seem to need some form of the research the lab was doing. I don't know what lynch would be better today, but i'm thinking ahead to tomorrow and Wondering how far we will follow JKL before lynching him? if ABS is lynched and is a researcher then tomorrow he doesnt have a CIA agent do we leave him alone till he does while possibly letting him do things behind the scenes. or do we start tomorrow with lynching him to prove one way or another? I don't know what is best but I don't want him sliding under the radar for too many turns.

[/quote] The most likely win clause scenario, based on past games, is that mafia(researchers) need to be the last standing for their win clause, the town need to be the last standing for their win clause and as an outside faction, the CIA would need to kill off their biggest threat which is likely the researchers for their win clause. Otherwise, you are right and the town would lose by default.

I looked at your other forum post and still do not know how to decipher it.

Just because I outed 2 researchers does not make me CIA. I inspected Mada because he was being relatively quiet in the forum, and then I inspected Abs because he was trying to protect Mada.

I don't like games where one person does that.
