The Simpsons Mafia - Game Thread

[Smash INC]

I've been reading up on the game and like I said before I'm just not convinced enough to jump on a vote.

I feel Callahan is town, I just can't truly make a choice between Blade and CJ since both arguments are convincing but not enough to make me be sure of who to jump on.

It's not like yesterday where I knew Goodburn had something to hide because of his play. When it comes down to it, I'm not entirely against a no-lynch situation since I'm not convinced enough to damn anyone to the noose.

Some scumhunting God I am

[President Jeff]

VOTE COUNT


CJ (Blade)
Callahan (Jules. Bacon)


13 Alive, 7 votes to Lynch
Deadline Monday at 7pm EST

[Smash INC]

I'm going to take a gamble.

I doubt it will reach a lynch (but I am voting this for the possibility it does). I've never been fully convinced of Blade due to how abrasive he has come across as since the CJ business started, it was almost like he felt annoyed that nobody sans JamesV were joining his vote and that we were all supposed to be inclined to switch from Goodburn despite there being a much stronger case against him at the time.

The game has stalled because of this Blade vs CJ issue and I feel that as much as a no-lynch could assist in someone else getting a report to confirm/deny CJ's guilt, we're also reaching a stage where Calvin's likely to die and the numbers start to truly favour the mafia.

It is a risk, it's a big one but I've just felt so split between this vote that I haven't been been ready to take a risk.

I'm only doing it now since I'm worried a no-lynch has worse consequences than what I originally thought and I wanted to get my assumptions out there in case it was too late.

So I'm going to Vote: Blade on the basis that I feel there is more evidence pointing to his guilt than CJ's, the abrasive nature of his play seems unlike him and it may be telling that he's either aggravated by something or he's got a hidden agenda.

I'm not as sure on this as I was on Goodburn, I'd say a 60/40 split in favour of Blade being lynched but that's come after his play today. The soft claim doesn't do much to change things here especially since the person I'd most suspect to be that role is dead.

It's a risk, I think the reward is better in the end if I'm right.

[Kris]

After going through the last couple of pages of posts, there are three things which I have gathered. They might not be 100% accurate, but here's my thoughts nonetheless.

• Blade, while still abrasive in attitude, has finally given us some information. The theory put forward of him being a J.o.a.T. does make some sense. I still hold my reservations about him since such a role could, in theory, belong to Smithers seeing as how he's the ultimate assistant. On the other hand, if he is town? Then he will be a rather useful asset that we should protect. Those of us that can look into him and CJ should do so tonight-- or try again, as the case may be.
  
• Bacon's looking scummier and scummier to me. Has anyone else noticed how many excuses he's putting forth? Repeatedly apologizing for being new as if it pardons him from some of the absolutely ludicrous things he's said especially puts up some red flags, considering how he's repeatedly attempted to take away from the discussion going on. Methinks he may be protesting too much.
  
• J-Reb is being awfully quiet... have we reached a point where that could be considered suspicious?
  
• The squabble between Jules and Callahan has pointed out a lot-- and one of the two of them has dug themselves quite the hole indeed. I can easily see what Jules is talking about, when it comes to how evasive and wishy-washy and... just plain all-over-the-place he's being. And since I think that a lynch of a suspicious player is better than a no-lynch?

Vote: Callahan

[jasonandrews]

Come on guys we only have a couple hours till deadline we need a lynch

Honestly I'd think this but having seen his playstyle in the last few games he's played, I've come to just associate this as standard Johnny Rebel behaviour. Reading into his silence is a very difficult game to play.

[jasonandrews]

Well looks like there is gonna be a no lynch

[President Jeff]

I'm calling it a few minutes Early

Day 3 has ended in a

NO LYNCH

You now have 24 hours to send me your night actions

NO MORE TALKING

[President Jeff]

Also to note

Donovan Caine/Calvin Ingram has been mod killed for being inactive for over 72 hours.

His Kill will reflect in the Night 3 write up

[President Jeff]

The scene opens up in Fat Tony‘s house. With him is Moe , Groundskeeper Willie , and Sideshow Bob

Sideshow Bob: I‘m so glad that, that Bart Simpson has died.

Moe: Me too, All those prank calls, I was ready to pull his eye balls out of his head, shove them down his pants, so he can watch me kick his ass.

Fat Tony: Fella‘s, We need to decide who is a threat and who we should kill next.

Sideshow Bob: Lets just draw a name from a hat.

Moe: I have a had, and just happen to have everyone‘s name in it.

Fat Tony: Ok Fella‘s. Willie, pick a name.

Willie puts his hand in the hat and pulls out a name and hands it to Fat Tony.

Fat Tony: I think this is a good choice.

Moe: Hey guys. I was able to steal the Suishie Machine from the Quick E Mart. And made some Duff Squishies.

Moe hands out everyone a Duff flavor Squishie. Everyone drinks it and then Groundskeeper Willie face turns red and can’t breath.

Sideshow: I think he‘s having an Alergic reaction

Willie falls to the ground, grabs his throat and dies.

Fat Tony: Oh Well. Time to plan our next kill

DEAD: Groundskeeper Willie - Calvin Ingram (Janitor)




Its now night time and the scene opens up at Mr. Burns Mansion. He is seen talking with Smithers

Mr. Burns: Smithers, did they ever find the person who killed that Apu fellow?

Smithers: I don’t think they have Sir.

Mr. Burns: How about that Magiie Simpson, did the cops question her?

Smithers: I don’t think a baby did it

Mr. Burns: Well she almost killed me.

The door bell rings. Smithers and Burns answer the door and standing there is Chief Wiggum

Chief Wiggum: Hello Mr. Burns, a second of your time?

Mr. Burns: Oh what it is?

Chief Wiggum: I’d like for you to come down to the station for some questions about Apu’s death

Mr. Burns: Are you mad? I didn’t do it

Chief: We have video evidence that you we’re at the Quick E Mart that night

Mr. Burns: I suggest you leave

Chief: Mr. Burns, Your under arrest

Mr. Burns: Smithers, Release the hounds

Smithers pushes a button next to the door and a pack of dogs starts chasing Chief Wiggum. Wiggum starts running but slows down getting tired and the dogs jump of him and tare him apart

DEAD: Chief Wiggum - Johnny Rebel (Cop)


The scene then cuts to inside Moe’s Tavern. Homer walks in, sitting there is Lenny and Carl

Homer: Hey, Where’s moe?

Lenny: No idea.

Carl: Yah, we have Barney over there pouring drink

Homer: Guys, I know who killed Apu. it’s the same person who killed Marge. I just bought a gun and left the person a message to meet me here for a drink. They should be walking in any second now

Lenny: Are you sure this is a good idea?

Carl: Killing someone next solved any problems

Homer: Don’t worry, I know what I’m doing. Quiet, I think I hear someone

The door opens and its Dr. Nick

Dr. Nick: High Every bod…

POW

Homer shoots him and Dr. Nick falls to the ground, bleeding.

Homer: DAMIT, Wrong guy!!

DEAD: Dr. Nick - Michael Callahan (Reviver)

We Cut to Kent Brockman on the Channel 6 news

Kent: Late Breaking news. Dr. Hibbert was found dead in his own early this morning. The cause of death is unknown, but police are treating it as a murder and believe its a connection in the murders of Marge Simpson and Apu. More on this story as it develops.

DEAD: Dr. Hibbert - Kurt Noble (Doctor)

2. Jules
3. Gabriel Anselm
4. Kris
5. Chaz
6. CJ
7. Keaton
8. Blade
9. Bacon

[Jules]

Well, that sucks.

Judging by this write-up I would say.

1. We know for sure that third-party has some kind of kill ability. We also know that Rebel was onto them. Our only hope is that if there is a tracker they saw who Rebel visited last night. Since we haven't seen a confirmed third party kill thus far I'd venture, if the write-up reflects night actions, the kill is in some way reactive.

2. We have a town vig, but it seems the town vig killed the wrong target. My question here is to Bacon, did you bus drive Callahan last night? If so, who did you bus drive him with?

3. Unless third party have an active or double kill I think we can assume Kurt was killed by the mafia (red scum). It blows that he was doctor because now we're in a very precarious spot.

We need concrete leads here and we need them fast. Unless there is another cop we're no closer to solving this C.J./Blade enigma, unless Blade was able to turn up some additional info last night.

[The Soul Of Philly]

What did I just read? 4 players gone, *snap* like that. I knew Calvin was gonna be gone, and I can't say I'm totally surprised he was mafia but the more important thing outta THAT write up is that we had 5 mafia, we're back down to three, so that's 3 mafia, two third party and four townie

And two doctors dead. Wonderful. Although I find it funny that callahan is killed by Homer, who I assume had a one-shot vig when Marge died. So it was someone who felt that callahan was scum. Which gives one of three players the out as homer.

Vote: Bacon

Heres why. This entire game, he's been claiming town and that he's been cleared as town when he hasn't. No one has cleared him as town, and thanks to the third party taking out Rebel, who was the cop, we won't be able to find out, will we? I've had my reasons to believe him since day 2, but he continues to sound scummy with his posts like this one from last day phrase:

When it was explained that it wasn't game over if we didn't get a lynch. That a lynch, unless we knew it would lead to a non-town getting lynched, wasn't needed. He was still pushing for a lynch of someone who came up as town.

[Smash INC]

4/2/3 split.

I want to cry.

I really do.

[[ManiC]]

Holy shit that's a lot of dead towns. We really need to start getting some info out for those with any, and a bit off to, but what dI'd Callahan's role entail?

[[ManiC]]

Double post: firstly, fuck predictive text...

Secondly, I think Bacon is town and those going against him come across to me as being rather scummy. However, with the ratio as it is and with the town cop dead I'm willing to take a risk, I'm going to follow Blade's accusation and apparent guilty read on CJ as it's the only information we have to go on.

Vote: CJ Gates

[jasonandrews]

Well tj why aren't you voting for Crown Jules he voted for Callahan as well so whatever at least one mafia is dead even though that costed a lot of townies so i am gonna go with blades accusations as well and watch people vote me cus i followed manic

Vote:Cj Gates

[Smash INC]

Bugger it I'm pretty much on the hitlist anyhow.

Vote:Blade

I have a very good reason to go against Blade based on his roleclaim.

[Smash INC]

EBWOP

Unvote

Meant to do Major F.O.S: Blade[/b[

I can explain myself better after I've slept but please refrain from voting anyone off until then. Blade might have a good explanation but until then I have to oppose his reports.

He didn't role claim, I suggested a potential JoaT, but it seems it isn't the case given your information. I'll still place my bets on CJ, but can certainly understand your suspicion of Blade as your view and your view are pretty much based on which of the two (accuser or accused) you trust. Right now I'm inclined to believe Blade as all CJ has come out with is "you're barking up the wrong tree" whereas Blade has at least given some information - shady mind you but still information.

[[ManiC]]

*your view and my view.
Dammit I'm going to bed...

[Jules]

If I'm reading this correctly I think I might know what Keaton is getting at. However, I will say some of these votes are a bit premature when we're still waiting for people to check in.

I'm hoping when I wake up we've heard from everyone and will have a bit more light shed on things.

[Nathaniel Havok]

This is... Absolutely nuts. For 1 mafia, we lost 3 town? I said that if it couldn't be proven to me that Bacon was 100% town, that I was going to go after him. I don't trust him, haven't the entire game. Everything about him screams scum, and hoestly, we need a miracle. So here goes nothing...

Vote: Bacon

[jasonandrews]

Do you really want to lose another town Chaz fine i hope mafia wins so to prove i am town there is honestly only one way i suppose.

Unvote:Vote:Myself

[Nathaniel Havok]

^^^ Outplayed. I've done that before myself, it never changes anyone's opinion.

[jasonandrews]

I won't change my vote when i come up as town you're going to feel like an idiot.

[jasonandrews]

but before i go i am started to feel that the remaining scum are

Chaz
Keaton
Soul

[jasonandrews]

EBOWP

forgot to mention the two third party members

manic
crown jules

Vote: Bacon

Maybe I give him too much credit. The fact that he pretty much told us what his role is, the fact that the character that would have that role appeared in write ups, and the fact that no one has come out to say "wait a minute, I'm the bus driver!" leads me to believe that he's not lying. If he was, someone should have countered it by now and with the way the roles have been (Wiggum who's a cop turned up cop. Dr. Nick and Dr. Hibbert are both doctors of some sort) I'd be hard pressed to believe that the character of Otto wasn't the bus driver. I've said it all along that Bacon is more than likely town and the bus driver, but for some reason there are still people that don't agree with that.

Because of that, I am going to Vote: Chaz.

I've been suspicious of you since day one when you and Marvin were having your back and forth over the mundane, and then there was the incident where you tried to turn Kris' words around on her. And the fact that you're still not believing Bacon even though he hasn't been counterclaimed is just the icing on the cake and the reason why you're getting my vote.

I don't know what else you are expecting me to say. I'm 100% innocent and have no clue why Blade would have gotten a guilty read on me because I'm not anti-town at all. I don't have a night role so I can't verify anything with night actions, but I can say that if anyone has followed or watched me, they will see that I haven't done anything. I haven't visited anyone, killed anyone, watched anyone...I'm being honest about everything I've said.

[jasonandrews]

Maybe blade could be one of the third party possibly i dont know but is fishy still.

[Blade]

Ha!

These last few pages are full of win, especially you Keaton.

So you don't want the day to end in a no Lynch, so you place a vote on me, with just a little over 2 hours to go until the deadline?

I had no votes on me, how is that going to help anyone get to a lynch? Callahan was the person on 2 votes, so why not vote for him?



The only thing you have going for you and I know how this is going to go.

"Hi I'm Keaton, I am ***** Simpson, I killed the town reviver last night"

The fact that it was obvious who you were on day two is the reason I wont even come at you.

Why not kill me last night though?

I already said I dont have a kill, and people are the ones who are saying that I am a JOAT, I am not. My role is very similar, but is much more restrictive in what I can do with it? DAMN MY BRAIN!!!!


The thing is, No one wants to listen to me regarding CJ, I am fed up of it, 2 days have passed and we could have had him lynched a long time ago. So come the fall out thread, You are welcome

vote: Bacon
