robbiecon was getting disappointed at the progress that the Avengers were making. The invaders were proving harder to uncover than he had first thought. He decided that desperate times called for desperate measures; he would have to summon the superheroes privately that he trusted most and give them a covert operation: they would make a night assassination. After giving them their assignment anonymously, he then waited to make sure that the mission was a success. After a few hours, there was a knock on his door. He opened it, prepared to hear the results of the operation; but as soon as the door was open, he was attacked by the very same Avengers that he had recruited! Before he had a chance to grab his weapon, he was stabbed in the chest and blasted back against the opposite wall, nearly knocking him out. Aching, he tried to get back up, but he was met with a swift smash to the back. He whispered, "...but you were our last hope... the Avengers Initiative..." as he lost consciousness on the floor of his room. The assassins were shocked when they found out the status of the man they had so hastily murdered. robbiecon was Nick Fury, Message Sender/Night Lyncher, TownMalick was in his room, itching for combat. He was anxiously awaiting the arrival of his partner, who was supposed to perform an experiment that would grant him additional abilities. He decided to go out looking for him, thinking maybe he got captured! But as he walked down the corridor, he heard someone following him. The footsteps seemed to be picking up pace, so Malick began to run; soon he was far enough away that he could not hear them anymore. But as soon as he turned the corner, he was face to face with a frightening robot, who was pointing both arms at him. "You've become too much of a pest, and so you must be EXTERMINATED" the chilling figure articulated as he began firing upon Malick. Malick managed to dodge the first two shots, but his attacker was too powerful and not at all about to give up; he was soon pulverized by several blasts and dropped down to the floor, dead. Malick was The Wasp, Psycho, TownThe Avengers were deeply grieved at the news of two more of their own being killed. But now was not the time for tears; they had an important task left to do. If they could not wipe out the threat now, chances are they would lose to the invaders and die, knowing that their world would be conquered. It is now Day 6.With 7 alive, it takes 4 to lynch.

OK its cool that you want to lynch impereld I guess but lets not be too hasty with any lynch please. With such a small number of players left and only one mafiat dead (who might not even be a mafiat from what you guys were saying?) we really need to get in as much conversation today as possible. Impereld seems like an easy lynch, and while I'm not sure if hes town it would be really damn easy for the mafia to push out a lynch to stop all possible productivity for this gameday.
Kat, why do you think that? Do you have any reasoning to back up that or are you just throwing out suspicions?
So, am I the only one who's starting to doubt Kat's claim or what? Like really, I could buy two armors I guess, but two armors AND a shield? I can't really say I have anything other than that against her though, I need to do another read through the past days to get a better read on everyone.
I guess Robbie was killed by the night lynchers, at least if you go by the flavor text. It would also make sense considering Malick did have the chance to seriously screw up the mafia with his abilities, even if he didn't know what he would do, meaning they would probably want to target him.
I promise I will be more active this time, my apologies for disappearing before. Freakin' English essays taking up all of my time...anyway, I'll have a more well put together post later after I reread the game and hopefully I can get some solid reads.

They've been pinging my scumdar; I haven't really had much chance to make real cases on either of them. There are countless reasons to lynch impereld, though.

Excuse me for being somewhat skeptical about voting people who should obviously be scum after how VGA flipped yesterday, but I'm not about to jump on the Imp vote just yet. I did a brief scan of the past few days, and I really haven't seen much said about Imp to say that there are "countless reasons" to vote him. Care to explain what you mean, Kat?

Or I guess if anyone else could enlighten me that would be great too but I really do want to hear mainly from Kat on how she is so sure of this lynch that she would be willing to put down the vote at the very beginning of the day.

So, am I the only one who's starting to doubt Kat's claim or what? I have to admit I've had the same suspicion for a long time now. But after NPR's claim was fake, I believed her's a little more. It is possible that Loki would be mafia and "knows" (fake claim) that Thor has been locked away in another universe or something like that. I thought that was a possibility a while back, but I didn't really see much scummy behavior since then. This vote changes things though! More than likely there are 3 mafia members remaining. With 4 votes for a lynch, one townie vote and the mafia just needs to get their votes together and that's probably the end of the game. I really don't like that move from her. Is there anything other than gut involved in there? That being said, I don't complete with her opinion. Its just that considering we need to be right, it'd be better if we were able to confirm a mafioso before the lynch.

I really hate this game. A lot.
I think the whole thing with vgaddict was really stupid and his death may not have happened had we not been so pressed with time because we were so inactive for really the entire day. I was really surpised that we could lose 3 townies and no mafias and still not have lost. So I guess there were only 3 mafia. That would make me think that Linnet was in fact mafia since 3 mafia feels too small. BUT clearly this game is not weighted heavily towards the town, given the events, so if we're having this much trouble with 3 I imagine 4 would insane.
So with Malick. Was he killed by a Dalek....? cuz thats a bit of a discontinuity. =P So really crappy thing. The item I got a long time ago allowed me to watch someone in the night. And I used it on Malick last night. It should have given us an easy mafia ticket. But the robot that killed malick apparently is undetectable as my item malfunctioned. which sucks.
So if there are 3 mafia. It is impossible for none of [hellfire, nyan kat, game guy, missing link] to be mafia. I mention this because all 4 of these guys seem more townie then mafia to me. Although I find myself believing nyan kat more than the others just because all the other main characters that have claimed thus far were who they said they were. Like hulk, iron man, captain america, and nick fury are all in the game as town. It wouldn't make much sense for thor not to be. Also, she's felt very townie throughout the game.
I'm really hesitant with impereld just because vgaddict and robbiecon I felt very similarly about. And both of them turned out town. Not that impereld isn't mafia. We should just be very cautious with votes and lynching. Cuz I really can't imagine the game not ending if we lynch town today. Also, could somebody give an actual argument on impereld. Just because I honestly dont see whats obvious about it. Cuz I know I've also 2nd guessed myself in my very own posts, so I don't really see that as particularly scummy.

oh also, I just noticed that the people who voted vgaddict yesterday were {kat, tml, caleton, malick, robbiecon, hellfire} we already know both malick and robbiecon were town. I've expressed that I think nyan kat is town. So that would leave [hellfire and tml] And although it is possible, it just seems unlikely and a bit sad (since it would imply that the town is entirely incompetent) that no mafia were involved in vgaddict's lynch.

I was really surpised that we could lose 3 townies and no mafias and still not have lost. So I guess there were only 3 mafia. That would make me think that Linnet was in fact mafia since 3 mafia feels too small. BUT clearly this game is not weighted heavily towards the town, given the events, so if we're having this much trouble with 3 I imagine 4 would insane. I dunno. I still hold out a suspicion that Linnet was quite possibly Town and killed by the Doppleganger... and that quite possibly the Doppelganger ended up flipping as a Townie. As much as I personally would hate for that to be the case (I don't like roles that reveal false information on death), at this point, I'm just about to consider the fact that anything is likely to happen. Mathematically, 4 is the proper number of Mafia for a game of 16 players just because it gives both the Mafia and Town a win in the same number of days ideally, and I don't think Ernie would be cruel enough to give a 3-man Mafia that bad of odds. Good call. Though in all honesty, that item you got might have been one of NPR's. As Kat would no doubt be thrilled to tell you ( ) from her vast personal experiences, it's entirely possible for inventors to make items that purposefully don't work so that, when people end up relying upon them, it clears up the night of actions to make things easier for a Mafia or Indy do his or her devious schemes. Technically speaking, it IS possible for none of them to be Mafia if you are. Caleton, hold out your hands. C'mon this won't hurt a-- *WHACK* That is PRECISELY the reason why you should be at least marginally suspicious about her claim. Rule #1 about making a themed game: Leave at least one major, major character from said theme out of the game and give it to the Mafia as a fake claim. I happen to agree with you; Katty has been more Town than Mafia to me so far this game. But I won't necessarily bet money on the claim until I see the fat lady sing. However, let's run back a little bit and take a look at what you said earlier. Let's make the assumption that you're Town, which I still think seems reasonable. You've divided the remainder of the Town into two sets -- those that you lean Town on... and the other guys. If there are 3 Mafia left, there's at least one in the set you trust. What do you think about the other two? Do you believe that they're both Mafia? Because honestly? My personal take is that we should go for one of the more obvious targets for the day. I imagine this is coming down to do-or-die time, and so we need to be right today or we risk everything. And if I had to take a gut guess as to who is scum, my personal take would be that there's at least one, if not two, in {GameGuy, Kirawillwin, Impereld}. In short, I think it's much better odds that we vote for someone in this group than anyone in the other group.

Okay, why must all my suspicions turn out to be town.
Kat, I understand why you are suspicious of me, but voting that early at this point is not a good idea. If you are townie, which I am doubting, then you should want this day to last as long as it can.
From the flavour of robbie's death, it sounds possible that a vig gunned him down, which to be fair, I probably would have tried as well. I thought he was being a bit suspicious, but as I've said above, I've been terrible at reading people all game.
But at this point, I think we should begin to name-claim. And for some of us (which by this I mean GG, Kira, and myself) I want full claims. So I'm gonna claim, because I doubt I have long for this game anyway.
I am Daredevil, and I am something called the Russian Roulette. Every night I can target a person if I have enough EP, and I will randomly either kill them, randomise their action, roleblock them, or take away their EP. Yes, I have quite possibly a more mafiatesque role then the mafia may have themselves. I've targeted blarsmu the night before he died, and GameGuy N4. That was why I asked DarthPokey if there was anything he wanted to share, and also why I didn't believe blarsmu's magnet cop claim, as I assumed he should have been able to see me.
Do what you want with this information, because we need more information at this point. True, I've probably opened myself up to the mafia as a target because I could potentally be a problem, but if they have to spend a night killing me instead of the town lynching me, I can take my action against someone still.
Killing roles are the only way I can see we may still stand a chance against the mafia, even if mine is not reliable.

Bleh, I can't quote from Day 1. But I think we found ourselves a mafioso! According to the Day 1 description, Daredevil was the character that died to start the game. It specifically said that he was "deceased". Now correct me if I'm wrong, but there was only one Daredevil in the Marvel Universe!

quick post
HOW MANY TIMES TO I HAVE TO SAY THAT LINNET WAS TOWN?! I think robbie may have been onto something, though, and any one of the people who have flipped town could, in fact, have been mafia.
Hellfire's #8 REALLY rubs me the wrong way, the flavor portion particularly. Also, at this stage in the game, FOR THE REASONS YOU JUST SAID IN #8, voting right away would be more likely to come from hasty/derp town than mafia. Basically, that post is all the duck over the place. FoS: Hellfire[/color] I postulate that scum is imp, hellfire, and 1-2 of {Game Guy, Caleton, TML}. Maaaaaybe kira, but re: my first paragraph blrasmu could have been mafia creating WIFOM.
We're getting down to the wire; I'm wondering if it may be time for mass claim. (don't start unless we're all in agree-ance...unless you've already claimed)

Nyan kat, I know you said you confirmed Linnet was town. But I'm saying there's still the possibility you made that all up. Just saying. Also, why do you not see kira as mafia as much compared to the others?
Hellfire: You just said that we shouldn't vote until we were sure. cuz the mafia could grab on to it. And then you voted really quickly. I know your argument against him is a very good one, but still. Its really contradictory.
FoS: Hellfire
Impereld: Hellfire does bring up a very good point. Daredevil did very clearly die in the write up on Day 1. It makes very very little sense that ernie would make daredevil a character in the game and very clearly kill him off in the write up. He could have just as easily picked some other character to kill off that wasn't in the game, its not like there's a lack of options to choose from.
FoS: Impereld
That said, I imagine either, you REALLY messed up with your fake claim. Or something weird is going on.
Concerning your actual roleclaim. He does seem fishy since your role is very similar to Malick's. But I don't think that has much weight since there are also two inventors, and 2 armors (if kat isn't lying).
TML: If robbie was right and one of the townies is a mafia. It would have to be either squeege, blrasmu, or vgaddict. Personally I find blrasmu being townie the most sketchy but it could be any of them. And possibly the real skrull hasn't even died yet.
Its not that i think kira and impereld are mafia for sure, I just trust them less than i do the other 4. It's like this. I can't really imagine kat being town very much at all. game guy seems town but could easily be mafia. TML seems very much town, and I would think he is town but I know you're good at this game so you could be tricking us. Hellfire seems town also, but I've been kinda iffy with him for a while and thats only increased in the last 2 days. Impereld was really null for me, but his nameclaim as daredevil made him rise 10 levels in my scum list. And with kirawillwin, before I thought him very heavily as mafia, but his response to my accusation was not what I was expecting. and so many other people i thought were mafia flipping town, has really lowered my confidence. He needs to post more.
Though I agree we should definitely go after one of the more scummier players, and not push our luck with one of the it could go either way players.

Also, why do you not see kira as mafia as much compared to the others? It's not so much that I think he's town, but a lot of his actions, while weird, are normal for kira and therefore null. Like I said, I'd still lynch him, but after all my other suspicions. Hellfire: You just said that we shouldn't vote until we were sure. cuz the mafia could grab on to it. And then you voted really quickly. I know your argument against him is a very good one, but still. Its really contradictory. Argument against whom?

His argument against impereld. The whole daredevil thing. I understand thats really incriminating for impereld. But hellfire had a couple posts back said we shouldn't vote until we had discussed it a bunch.
And I mean, if you were mafia. Im pretty sure you're town, and if you're town you wouldn't have made up the item. But I mean there still is the possibility you're mafia, and if you were mafia, you might have made up the item to mislead us. Although at this point, I doubt that's the case. Unless you're a crazy good bluffer.

I know your argument against him is a very good one, but still. Its really contradictory. In my opinion, a person claiming an already definitely dead character is about as strong of evidence as you can get. He is not Daredevil. If Imperald were town, what reason would he have to claim someone else?
