Day One

[Parama]

Brandon Hopps
The mechanic on board the Emerald and general mule of the crew. Patricia and Demetri don't treat him with the respect he deserves and he hates his job.

Mechanic = guy who can screw with the ship if he wants to
+ hates the owner of the ship

yeah if this guy isn't a scum role by flavor I don't know who is

[ebolaeatsflesh]

When do I have to vote? Still unsure about who I want.

Leaning towards interviewing Brandon--i agree mechanic is a scary potentially bad person to let hang out...

You have till 4:00 Friday to decide what you want to do for your first day!

That's the deadline. We haven't talked a lot about who we're voting. Instead we've been struggling with the concept of day 1 lynch vs nl. I think most people are now considering a lynch, or at least a majority. Talking about fos now, despite not having loads to go on is key.

[Eric]

-.-..... do you ppl listen. d1 lynch = handing mafia the key to all the room and giving them a f-ing gun.


i am 9999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999.99999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999991999999999999999999991% sure that mafia knows each other. so with 12 ppl its prob 2-3. all it takes is 2-3 ppl to start a bw. the chances at hitting mafia are about 25% or less. the chances at town are 75% or greater. if this is like last game, there is one cop, one doc, and a few other roles. but the cop and doc for sure. so, lets to that math. 25% at mafia, about 17% at cop or doc, 58% at hitting town.


so lets review. 1) mafia knows each other. 2)all it takes is 2-3 ppl to start a bw. 3) there is prob a doc and cop. 4) 25% chance of hitting mafia, 75% at town, with 17% of that being doc or cop.


so again, *I VOTE NO ONE* and for the interview person, the story says the route was changed. nothing to do with mechanics. " Little to everyone's knowledge though, a mysterious person snuck in and redirected the ship's coordinates to a place that seemed out in the middle of the ocean." nothing to do with mechanics. if anything we should check the captain or the second in command.

*I UNVOTE WHOEVER I SAID TO INTERVIEW*

The fact that thodges is purposefully ignoring what people have said when they have people have outlined why it is very important to vote d1 in forum mafia seems scummy to me. In order to scumhunt you need to see voting patterns and etc and I'm sure that it has been outlined to thodges.
Thodges a few questions: First, why are you so sure that mafia know each other? Secondly, why do you assume that people with bandwagon with the mafia? If the mafia don't give good enough reasons for voting, surely town will be able to see through this? I also think that it is ridiculous that you are basing your unwillingness to vote based on roles that may or may not exist.
Because of this I vote Thodges. I vote to interview Brandon Hopps (I now recognise that someone who has the ability to tamper with the ship is someone that we would want information about).

[Parama]

To be honest I think he's just really dumb.

Though he could be scum claiming he knows his buddies because he actually doesn't .-.
lolWIFOM

[aimee]

I'm aware that he is really dumb, but until he answers my questions my vote stands. Also thodges: posting so many 9's is highly irritating and not at all necessary, cut it out.

[aimee]

Also one thing I have picked up on, is that sleight is acting in a way that seems to me is, 1 - not at all helpful to town (none of his comments have been productive or trying to find scum) 2 - seems almost too obviously counter productive. I'm starting to think that he might be fool, or WIFOMing it.

[ebolaeatsflesh]

I know voting ends at 4; but I'm also fairly sure I'm in a different time zone; but I forget how far apart we are, so I thought it would be helpful if someone would post a "this many hours"...

Either way I just woke up and I'm going to look back through and see what my thoughts are.

[Eric]

aimee,- funkiimafia.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=mafia&action=display&thread=8 look at the first post. it was on the 17th. now look at this- funkiimafia.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=game&action=display&thread=7&page=10 it ended on the 18th. so mafia knows each other by now.
secondly, 2-3 can start a bw. that is a basic knowledge that is know.
third- i'm about 99.9% sure there is a doc and cop role. this is just like mafia and any other forum mafia. there needs to be a cop like role.
fourth, "and for the interview person, the story says the route was changed. nothing to do with mechanics. " Little to everyone's knowledge though, a mysterious person snuck in and redirected the ship's coordinates to a place that seemed out in the middle of the ocean." nothing to do with mechanics. if anything we should check the captain or the second in command." did you skip that part? it says the route. not mechanics. the route. so someone with knoweldge of that had to have done it. not the mechanic.
and last, did you skip the part of me saying the % at mafia??? 25% shot at mafia. 75% town. 17%doc or cop.

also, aimee, the 9's are staying to prove my point

[ebolaeatsflesh]

So I feel like slight is possibly trying to distract us--and am going to officially vote slight.

If someone "snuck in and changed the route" I feel like it wouldn't be the captain. I could be wrong, but I feel like its likely to be someone who wasn't supposed to be in there.

Thodges, you don't actually need an investigative role in forum mafia no, because of things like being able to analyse voting patterns and bandwagons and etc. And Thodges yes, bandwagons can form but I would like to think that people are intelligent enough to consider the reasons for a vote and are able to view how people defend themselves, just because scum build a case for a townie, does not mean said townie will be voted off. Do you think that whilst playing this game, we should remember funkii's last mafia game, I spectated it too but I don't think it is important to rely on past experience with it. And whilst you raise a valid point, I would rather interview someone with the potential to cause damage to the ship. My vote on Thodges still stands.

[Eric]

i can honor your reasons. but i must deny them by stating that they are not valid enough to vote me. i am 99.9% sure mafia knows each other based off of that, yes.

as for the interview. let me say this again.

1) "Little to everyone's knowledge though, a mysterious person snuck in and redirected the ship's coordinates to a place that seemed out in the middle of the ocean."
2) brandon's reaction- "I'm not sure? I thought the Capt'n put the ship on auto pilot? In fact someone cut the fuel lines last night!" questioned Brandon, the handyman on board.
3) brandon's info- The mechanic on board the Emerald and general mule of the crew. Patricia and Demetri don't treat him with the respect he deserves and he hates his job."; ok i can understand why yall see it, but then again, look at every character. they all have a motive.
4) i doubt a guy stuck having to be a mechanic and mule can change the coordiates.
5)Patarica's info- Demetri's second-in-command and long time worker for the cruise line. She can't stand Demetri and says time and time again that she is the real one running the ship.


so, with that, i say, I STILL VOTE NO ONE, AND I VOTE TO INTERVIEW PATRICIA

[kelsielove]

Right now i find myself and thodges the only two seriously defending a nl. To this i find myself in bad company and feel if i dont find some more representation for mpov its going to go down faster than this ship. I do agree with the fact that this game is more based on voting patterns than ccs but until we give prs a direction to lead our town i feel town is too disorganized today to make a good lynch on anyone but town. I feel by defending this side of the argument i am throwing myself under the boat and probably getting many of the fingers pointed at me. So be it.

As to who i think we should interview:
1) its an interview!! interview someone who knows something. Not the scummiest person. The fact that they are scummy probably makes their information not reliable. If the person was mysterious or shady how do you think the interview will go? Will they give out all the deets of their plan or will they be vague...
2) I think interviewing someone with a unique perspective is best. Like Virginia Fowles who is always paranoid or the magician Adam Donohue. But my vote goes to the second in charge for my reasons stated earlier. Cause even if they arent scum being second in charge gives them a lot of knowledge to be investigated.

[loveanddinosaurs]

My final votes:

I vote to lynch fiair, because the only thing she said in this board was, 'i kinda want to sit back and just see how this goes,' and then proceeded to never show up again. Sitting back and doing nothing isn't going to help one bit. I haven't posted that much in here, but I'm lurking a bit, trying to look at people's motives and voting style. Already, I have a list of people who seem scummy.

I vote to interview Nikki, because she has a criminal past and things she's hiding. We may be able to look at her rap sheet and learn more about why she's on the ship. We probably have more opportunities to interview other characters in the days to follow.
