The Dark (Mafia) - Game Thread

well no need now (i type so slow) - i stay so far behind yes i am the doctor and knew i would be a prime target if mafia knew that which is why i have not claimed it yet. i also would not open my hospital so as not to give mafia a chance to learn my occupation. i can save 1 person each night. i can check medical records each day that my clinic is open (but has not been open yet). i have told 1 player in PM already that i am the doctor. i am in PM w another now but have not told him. i can not save myself

There are far more town to kill Vs Researchers as town always have the highest representation. With the fact that if I die, 2 researchers are already dead, the game is almost already in the hands of the CIA Alternatively, if I survive and Ten is in fact CIA then game is immediately more balanced and town And I can work on eliminating CIA. When CIA are all dead, town can easily kill me as they have the numerical advantage

[quote=Bluegoetz]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] [b]I can guarantee you Researchers only win clause is eliminating CIA so I have only saving town to keep strength in numbers and Kill CIA [/b] You can easily lynch me as a majority once at least some CIA dead but so far it’s 2 town dead and soon to be 2x researchers which is a ridiculously powerful position for CIA to be in

Am I missing something? I'm not understanding this sudden switch to Tenn. I get why Abs has been moved off but not this

[quote=Tennesseelogman][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.[b] 2 dead researchers is likely still a long way to a CIA win and we know it is closer to a town win.[/b] [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?[/quote] I don't see how this can be. It seems more likely that it is [b]halfway [/b]to a CIA win.

[quote=Tennesseelogman]well no need now (i type so slow) - i stay so far behind yes i am the doctor and knew i would be a prime target if mafia knew that which is why i have not claimed it yet. i also would not open my hospital so as not to give mafia a chance to learn my occupation. i can save 1 person each night. i can check medical records each day that my clinic is open (but has not been open yet). i have told 1 player in PM already that i am the doctor. i am in PM w another now but have not told him. i can not save myself[/quote] Now that is a bold statement. Did you try to save anyone last night?

Feel free to inspect me jkl....I got nothing to hide....same with Rockbert....you can audit me anytime. My books are clean. I'm just a builder trying to build houses and develop properties. If you think tenn is a cia..there's only one way to find out .... [b]#LYNCH Tennessee[/b]

[quote=LandoCalriskian]Am I missing something? I'm not understanding this sudden switch to Tenn. I get why Abs has been moved off but not this[/quote] Tenn is who jkl SUSPEWCTS might be CIA. The switch is/was to put pressure on the most likely CIA suspects to try and get some more/new info. Just using any advantage we can get to put pressure on to get info.

[quote=LandoCalriskian]Am I missing something? I'm not understanding this sudden switch to Tenn. I get why Abs has been moved off but not this[/quote] Yes if you are also a researcher which most seem to think you are, you should not lynch me. I’m pretty sure JKL will investigate you tomorrow if he is CIA but as he has unlynched me, it makes me think he might actually be a Town cop who got lucky The fact clubs has not unlynched me is strange as he would usually see logic if town and when town is very vocal about it but is quiet this game which makes me thing Clubs could also be CIA

Doesn't make it true, but rock confirms and now he said it publicly.

sorry, typo: SUSPECTS

i do not like this no PM format (as most of you know i like to PM and try to get my group together) so i have tried to set up coded messages w 3 players (who shall remain nameless for their protection) and to anyone who could follow my hints in the sign-up forum. 2 of them i highly suspect of being solid town. the doctor (or nurse) is always town in my experience and is the case in this game.

20 players. Do we think 4 CIA, 4 researchers and 12 town? Or could it even be 3 CIA and 3 researchers and 14 town? Either way, I worry as I think if I die, CIA will close this game off in next couple phases

I share the same sentiment that periwinkle does. I am an extremely open book. It is the least I can do after missing an entire day, especially in such a complex game.

[/quote] Mada also had a protection/heal ability and he was researcher. It's my assumption that all three factions have a protector and that you are the protector of the CIA.
