NOC Electoral Mafia - Game thread

I mean if realiti was mafia they would not be doing this convoluted play of persuading my vote to realiti and then having realiti frame town!AP that's just crazy they would just put me on AP. I'm guessing the mafia did not expect the tracker claim and thus probably hoped there was some world in which they could pull off a realiti vote, probably by stealth or something.

Okay my head is spinning in circles. We need to understand why AP was not voted out yesterday.

No one has claimed a role that lets them avoid a vote other than AirC. AirC is claiming that they never purposefully targeted AP. So the explanation is that there is an unknown bus driver who has somehow managed to avoid affecting any one else's role in the game.

We know mafia has a role block. We know mafia has a persuade like role, that leaves them two left, which would probably be something like Bus Drive + chaff. Okay reasonable, it's a possibility.

Scenario A: AP/the mafia have an ability to nullify the vote. Or they have secret votes and tied it, but most likely not. This is probably a 1x ability.

Scenario B: Town AirC was bus driven between themselves and AP. I do give some credit to this theory because I can mafia driving their important member AP with Airc who was pretty nonthreatening at the time. However, AirC's claim to not being able to target themselves again even though they got no result is suspicious which makes me not believe this theory. Come to think of it, why is AirC even using this ability? You should just idle it lol. The use cases where this role is good for town is like basically 0.

Scenario C: Mafia AirC decides to target Town AP because....I have no idea. I guess to gain town credit? Seriously there's no way anyone is ever using the role to help the town out lmao. I'm discarding this scenario.

Scenario D: Mafia AirC targets Mafia teammate AP. This also makes sense because we have no additional evidence there's a bus driver or redirector. AP was under heat and presumably has a good role they want to keep alive or else otherwise try and get to parity. This is fairly reasonable.

Scenario E: Both are town and we luck out from mafia bus driving badly. I mean maybe but surely if mafia has a bus driver in this situation, they are driving between pulsar/miyami and one of themselves. So I'm not giving this scenario too much credibility.

For me A/D makes the most sense (Idk why I rewrote the same thing twice tbh lol). B could also be true but hard to see it.

AP's position that mafia Airc targeted them because ??? is also pretty crazy and now apparently larry is town. umm okay. I guess it is interesting they didn't immediately jump to the "realiti is still mafia" train but did somewhat reevaluate that read.
thank you smogon very cool

honestly if it's not AirC/Larryrelief/Realiti/AP I will be surprised from a mech pov. Down for whatever order avoids dealing with airc's role the longest
Is this a troll post? Do you seriously believe this?

I mean this is objectively true but also claiming you are an "invest" when gou are actually a vigilante is also something one should never do as town. It wouldnt surprise me at all for town to fling around their shiny toy. AirC is maf just not for this reason.

I don't agree, I think there are lots of opportunities where lying about your role can be beneficial. In any case, the question remains: why did MAFIA AirC decide to target town you?

1) its objectively antitown
2) he probably earns some utility for doing so (like the maf NK)
3) possibly hes not allowed to target maf with it
4) wifom play idk
 
##VOTE: AngryPidgeon

of the three dead scum walking AP is the one who we know for sure can't have AirC's pardoner thing on him so the risk adverse part of my brain is telling me to do this
 
AirC claimed to not be allowed to target AP again today but also claimed being able to self target today iirc
Sorry my wording was bad. What I meant was that Airc "discovered" their actual target from being told by the host they couldn't target AP again. That's not standard hosting. Your action would just fail with no notice.

anyways SHYP makes a good point. Why was AirC even considering targeted someone they were scum reading since day 1 (in their own words)
I didn't try and protect AP on N3, I asked if I could target AP, which the answer is no
??? why would this question even possibly come up
no

dbd claimed that they are just a fruit vendor and nothing and i claimed that is incompatible with what i know about the game and prodded dbd that they had something else potentially in their role that they were denying existed
I lied. I have no idea what you are talking about lol can you claim
 
I was thinking DBD might be the persuader but actually I think their votes plus action means that it's not a definite thing. it would have to look like DBD having an additional power beyond the fruit vendor (which is possible) but we just can't know for sure sadly.
 
There are three players with unknown roles and three roles confirmed to exist (eg. not your bus driver). Realiti has a 1/3 chance of being the votesticker while voting Jalmont is a 100% way to solve the double vote stick problem. The fact that you seem convinced that Realiti is the vote sticker specifically makes me think you either have an outside way of knowing this or are targeting Realiti with your ability to try and get an NK off again. Either way the way you're approaching it doesn't say town to me
What does vote sticker mean
 
AirC has kind of put us in wifom territory where we have to guess which day he targeted himself but I think the fact that he hasn't said anything about AP even once despite AP still being alive and in the game and AirC spending three days deathtunneling AP proves he actually cannot target the same person twice in a row (this would also make it impossible for town to actually win).

The votesticker has also so far only shown up on even numbered days, and the roleblocker on odd-numbered nights. Just some food for thought
I'm not off AP, AP is still in my scumcore, but if Jalmont is scum and has double vote, it's way more important to get Jalmont out first. Also you don't have to guess when I targeted myself since I "targeted" (in quotes) AP D2, which is 100% backed up by the fact he didn't die
 
anyways SHYP makes a good point. Why was AirC even considering targeted someone they were scum reading since day 1 (in their own words)
I guess to play devils advocate, he would have to have suspected something was awry so he could have asked as a way to try and confirm it. I do think that would ultimately be a strange mod decision to do that
 
I don't get these calls? Why am I clearly maf?
Why me, as scum? Would target AP regardless of alignement? If AP is scum it just ends up getting me fucked over if AP slips, and if AP is town I don't get that much credit if he flips and still waste what would have been a kill as scum
 
Idk? Because my role does something and that something just happened so it's a fair assumption to wonder if I could have caused it
I'm just saying dude, I'm not the universal source for all things mafia but I've never encountered a scenario like this nor have I considered targeting someone who I thought was mafia with a role that would stop their vote and then be told by the host that I couldn't do that because I targeted them already.
