Busy day yesterday and just finished catching up.
Here are all the investigations I did so far and why I did them:
Night 1: Razmos. I already said why I did this one. I wanted to know how the role worked and what info would I get. That's why I wanted to target someone with a role and the only ones who admited having a role the first day were Razmos, Mazre, Ultron and me. Ultron was out of the question because even if I investigated him I couldn't do much with the info as evicting him would mean evicting me, also I didn't know what roles were in play so maybe the investigation wouldn't work. To decide between Razmos and Mazre I flipped a coin, at that point in the game it was the same, we didn't have info of any of them.
Night 2: Timeaisis. I found it weird his change of attitude towards me. The first day he defended Ultron and me saying it wouldn't be good to evict us as it may be best for HHA but the second day he was trying to get us evicted saying it would provide more info. I found that strange. I thought he may be HHA who tried to evicted us the first night phase and couldn't so he tried to push for a daytime eviction. Take in consideration that we still didn't know if the HHA have a way to evict 2 players and tried to evict us before and were blocked.
Night 3: Mazre. After I roleclaimed there were some doubts about if I was lying or not. Mazre offered himself to be investigated to prove my role and several players agreed with him. Someone said Kingkitty but he didn't wanted to me posting his role. I decided to investigate Mazre to prove my role and get that out of the way.
Night 4: Hobohodo. This is pretty obvious. Hobohodo was very suspicious being between 2 gossip chats and almost was evicted the previous day phase. He turned up being HHA.
Night 5: RobotNinjaHornet. After Hobohodo eviction there were 2 players I was suspicious: RobotNinjaHornet and Kingkitty. Both of them did some strange voting and post when Salvapot was evicted. RobotNinjaHornet said he didn't wanted to evict Hobohodo because he may be beneficial to town and protected him. I decided to investigate him to see if he was protecting a fellow HHA.
Nigh 6: Haly. I wasn't still much convinced with Haly. I had two suspects at the top when this night phase started: Nin1000 and Haly. I decided to investigate Haly over Nin1000 when Ourobolus was found HHA. I didn't thought there would be 2 HHA in the same gossip group. Also I thought that if I was to be alive at the start of this phase it would mean that the HHA are down to only two members, one being Ultron and the other one would be in serious danger. The member who was most suspected the last phase after Kingkitty and Ourobolus was Nin1000.
Here is a list of my most trusted and suspicious remaining players:
Most Trusted: Timeaisis, RobotNinjaHornet and Razmos. I investigated all of them so they are clear to me.
Trusted: squidyj. Squidyj was true about Ourobolus so he gained a lot of trust from me.
Grey Area: EzekelRage, Toma, Retrogamer42 and Darryl. I still don't know about them. I'm leaning towards town for all of them.
Suspicious: Nin1000. As I said before, he was pretty suspicious the previous phase and that suspicious raised when I wasn't evicted the last night phase.
Almost sure HHA: Ultron. That's the only way I stayed alive for so long.
Alright so. We have Razmos Timeaisis and RNH who have been checked and are alive, of them I consider RNH to be quite towny Razmos to be pretty towny and TImeaisis to be a giant fucking question-mark.
I think there are two distinct arguments for lynching. one of which would be significantly stronger if Franconp had picked literally any other target to investigate.
1. there's a mafia between them. Most people it seems have either ultron or franconp on their scum list, myself included.
2. Killing Franconp gives us a significant amount of information and potentially 3 confirmed town. I'm willing to call Razmos confirmed town in this scenario, I think we've seen enough to suggest that mafia role names will likely be distinct and the way razmos has played would suggest he is town regardless. Of course if Franconp is mafia aligned then we have gained less information (but we lynched a mafia!).
So there are 4 possible scenarios and I'd like to enumerate. I'm going to start by making the assumption that there are still 3 mafia in the game.
Franco - Town, Ultron - Town (Scenario 1)
The worst outcome, we would go to 5-3 the next day. Of those 5, there would be 4 people who are as town as can be imo, we would have myself, ezekal, razmos, rnh, and timeaisis and mafia would kill in that group of 5 in the night. That would give us an excellent chance to lynch mafia every day and win the game.
Franco - Mafia, Ultron - Town (Scenario 2)
This one is pretty bad as far as the spread of outcomes go. We lynch a mafia which is great but we realize that anything and everything franco told us could be a lie. we go to 6-2 and we're looking at nin and likely timeaisis as the last mafia.
Franco - Town, Ultron - Mafia (Scenario 3)
This is pretty great, we get to confirm our townies AND kill a mafia. we go into the next day with 6 townies 3 of which are absolutely confirmed with another one being a strong town player.
Franco - Mafia, Ultron - Mafia (Scenario 4)
yay? we win the video game? Highly unlikely when I look at who is pushing for the evictions of these two dudes. We would go to 7-1
So I don't think there's really a losing proposition in lynching the roomies today but we'd be in a much better spot if franco had investigated someone who was so clearly town and so clearly going to die in the night. He could have proven himself town if he'd found another mafia or we could have added another person to our confirmed town circle. The fact that he went with Haly, to me, is kind of suspicious.
If we don't want to lynch the roomies then the next bet is nin, he's had an interesting voting history, his reads today have been weird and nonsensical. he's probably HHA. I actually think that if we're just hunting mafia then lynching nin is the best eviction but strategically the roomies play out better.
Vote: Franconp
