Speede, I am assuming you haven't paid attention to anything I have said in the last few games, because shit has been chaotic at home so yeah, forgetting about the game is very easy to do right now.

No, honestly I have missed it. I've lacked any attention span past my death the last few games, as real life is getting in the way of my schedule quite a bit too lately, but I figured i would at least point out that it's not a common thing for you from what I'm aware of...

As previously stated, I have the suspicion that we've got a skilled player within the scum team who would know to kill off James night One, and with AC Smith's role fishing tactics, I wouldn't be surprised if its him. T-Marv wouldn't put his ass on the line to clear Kash unless he was actually in a position to do so, and especially with his spotty activity around here the last few games, he wouldn't throw himself purposefully in the line of fire, or at least, so I'm lead to believe.

On another note, I feel rather curious about Reaver bringing up the "fourth scum" thought repeatedly. If we have a fourth, my money is on it being Giovanni, the team rocket head from the original series. We wouldn't have a five person scumteam mor it could theoretically be Cassidy and Butch, who I just realized were named after Butch Cassidy, unless I'm getting one of their names wrong... But it's most likely Giovanni if there is one, and I doubt he's here anyway; my bet is on a three person scum team.

My question Speede, is why would you think that? What makes you hedge your bets on 3? As far as I see, we had 18 players, and as balanced games go, the maximum number of anti town is 1/3 of the total players. So we could potentially have 6 anti-town if Sally maxed out. You hedged your bet on 3 mafia, therefore 4 total anti town. Now going for 5 I can believe, but 4 is 2 below the maximum number, and that just seems like a suss call to me, unless you know something I don't know?

The only thing that is ''suss'' here is the blatant attempt to throw shade on Speede whom is historically an easy player to mislynch due to his play.

It's entirely reasonable to assume there are only three mafia members for the simple fact there was an ODD day SK in the game. If there is an ODD day SK, there is probably an EVEN day SK as well. One that either chose not to kill, had a target doctored or was one of the two people who claimed to be role blocked this day phase.

If there are two SKs and then yes, a three person scum team is more than ideal.

However, the MOST scummy thing about your post is the bolded above. If Roy Speede is SCUM/3rd party and is WRONG about how many scum members are in the game, how can you possibly come to the conclusion that he may know something YOU don't know?

What's to say there ISN'T a three man scum team, your on it, and by selling this ''six person anti town'' theory your not just setting yourself up for a pseudo clear for the simple ''fact'' you had no idea how many scum there really were in the game?

[T-Marv]

The top suspicious guys thus far are Speede, AC, and Gordon due to some of the rather odd things they've said. I think it would be a really good idea to look into them.

I have a feeling I'm getting roleblocked or killed tonight, so a watch would be appreciated.

Speede, AC, Gordon, do you guys have anything to say that might help clear you beyond a shadow of a doubt so we don't have to waste our time?

[The Main Attraction]

Checking in...

[Reaver]

i think the fair thing to say is that IF there is a second SK then it would b logical that scum would b down to 3 but we will only know as time progresses. i was merely saying it due to the fact that team rocket kept saying "boss" meaning they were taking orders. again i ask, can we put together a list of who has checked in this day?

I'm going to ignore the fact that your indirect protection of T-Marv wasn't very definitive. For now.

I'm also going to simply point out, that Marv also warned the town to check for sanity before clearing somebody. It's very possible that Marvin is scum, as well as Kash, and is trying to subtly clear both of their names for the time-being, but might try to claim insanity if Kash ever flips scum. If Marv flips scum, then there's a 90% chance that Kash is as well.

I'm not pointing a finger yet. I'm just acknowledging that it's a possibility.

to add to this, im curious as to y terry would choose kash as a first target. he is inexperienced and the usual targets would have been way more experienced in the ways of APW mafia.

[Evan De Parker]

Is Terry experienced at Mafia? I wouldn't know. If he isn't, then that could explain the seemingly random target.

[Reaver]

he is 1 of the high end targets thats usually dead nite 1....

I'm here.

I'm gone all evening so busting my butt to get my RP done before the deadline tomorrow. As soon as I'm finished, I'll come back and post my thoughts about the game so far.

I have not been silenced.

["The Last King"]

OMG. I'm alive!

Sorry for the huge amount of inactivity. We just ending our first marking period and we had a fuck tons of tests. But I'm back now. I have to read through everything so give me like 5-10 minutes and I'll get to it.

[Reaver]

thats fine rebs just making sure

[Matt Stone]

Did anyone give any thought to the possibility of Marvin not being a cop? I'm 95% sure I know what he is and if I'm right, I'm not going to out him but I see the logic behind his clear and I support it. Before anything gets too out of hand, I am town, just been playing Batman alot lately.

That's what I'm thinking, too, if we're on the same page, Stone. I believe him, and if he has the role I think he does, that's a good clear.

And Marv, I do have a way of clearing myself, but it would require me to completely out what I do, and I'd prefer not to reveal my role unless I have to. But it'll come out soon enough on its own; I'm doubly sure of it. I will state, just in case of a LD, I'm Town.

[Jason Cashe]

I feel like a dick cause I've been busy these last few days, came up short on word count for my rp, couldn't write a match I took all because I got slapped with Double Duty at work for the weekend. Today is the only day starting yesterday and until Sunday where I'm doing doubles. I might use my vacation starting Monday. STILL that shouldn't excuse my absence from Mafia because I can do this on my phone. So my apologizes Ms. Sally.

With that said: TMarv, thanks for clearing me. I assure you all I am Town. I'd role claim but where would my learning from the past in doing just that have taught me if I did it again? I will say Matt Stone playing the new Batman makes him MUCH cooler to me now! As far as the game goes? Mewtwo gone already? That blows, good character. I mean 3rd Party so he had to die or be "Caught" so it's a victory for Town in that sense.

If I'm being cleared and I'm town then I'll assume that TMarv is town as well and the questioning of him should be stopped. Nobody is questioning the clear of Level One by Jace are they? Wasting time with "Could Be" is giving Scum time to make better plans and execute them. Speede continues his suspicions though and to me that is beginning to get suspicious in itself. Like it was said BY TMarv, there are more ways than just 5-0 to find out someone's alignment and that's a better excuse than any that Jace or L1 have given for their "clearing" so let's find something else to put some attention too because we're playing THEIR game doing this. Let's go Town.

Only that I'm not going anywhere at night, if you catch my drift.

I'm finally back by the computer and not having to use my phone. 1,100 mile trip this past week. Yikes.

Terry is a good mafia player and I think this is a wise move. From my mafia game, everyone targeted two people, one of which died. Terry checked someone who everyone wasn't going to go after. Pretty smart move in my book.

I have no night action (thus nothing to report.) While Sal has put together a great game, my role isn't all that fun.

[SalTal]

That's the deadline. Write-up to follow.

[SalTal]

Meowth: There! There’s Pikachu! Maybe the boss will happy if we bring it to him!

Team Rocket all square up, watching as Onyx suffers from Arbok's attack. But there's enough time for Ash, Brock and Misty to all gather themselves and front up to their foes! All three reach back for a Pokeball and throw.

Ash: Pidgeot ... I choose you!

Brock: Geodude! Help Onyx out!

Misty: Psyduck! We need your help!

One after another, Pidgeot, Geodude, and Psyduck all come out of their Pokeballs. There's a tense between our heroes and Team Rocket.

Ash: Pidgeot, use agility!

Pidgeot shoots straight into the air, far enough to be out of attack, but not so far away that it can't make out what's happening. Geodude meanwhile moves over to stand guard of Onyx. This leaves Psyduck standing in front of Team Rocket.

Jessie: That's it?

Jessie: We can handle that!

[DAY #002]
Day Two ends with no lynch!

Everyone has 24 hours to submit their night actions.

[SalTal]

[DAY #002]

Everyone has 6 hours to submit their night actions.

[SalTal]

[DAY #002]

Everyone has 2 hours to submit their night actions.

[SalTal]

Deadline for the night. Write- up to come.

[SalTal]

There’s a tense moment between Ash and his friends and Team Rocket. They stare down with one-another, no one prepared to make the first move.

Ash: Misty … I don’t think Psyduck is safe there.

Misty: You’re right. Psyduck, return!

Misty brings Psyduck back into his Pokeball, then drops it back into her bag. She reaches around for another Pokeball - one with a much more powerful Pokemon.

Brock: Quick! Everyone get a Pokemon ready!

Ash and Brock both reach into their bags and take a Pokeball, ready for action! Misty, meanwhile, carefully drops her bag behind the three, hoping to keep it safe. She quickly runs back to stand alongside her two companions.

Meowth,, now sneaking around through the trees behind our three heroes, tries to get himself in position up a tree - ready to jump down at the first sign of a weak Pokemon that he could take out. However, as he starts to climb the tree, he spots something down amongst the grass.

Meowth: What's this?

Meowth quickly darts down the tree and there, along the path, is a lost Pokeball! He looks around, bewildered at it all. Then, carefully, he picks it up and starts to carry it off, back to Team Rocket.

Meowth: This might come in handy!

So was it Psyduck that got captured/died?

[T-Marv]

Buckson Gooch - Town. Used my role on him cause something seemed kinda fishy in my mind. I was wrong as usual.

Will have more later.

Damn janitor. The write-up makes it seem like Psyduck, but that could be a red herring.

Never encountered a Janitor role before, Makes this harder to determine what roles we have left. I do know though Stone is town.
