Well that was all very interesting, wasnt it?
We know what Blargonaut is and if hes willing to help us, awesome. I also think for his play style and amusement hes brought he deserves to stay more than me. So here you go Blarg:
Unvote: Blargonaut
As to why you shouldnt vote for me, well its simple. Im your commanding officer.
My role is Rebel Officer (cop), I investigated Palmer on the first night. Hes clean. I think the person we should vote for is probably in the bandwagon who jumped on Blargonaut. Hes right, they wont kill him but they most certainly will vote him out.
Heres my suggestion; we pick someone to vote and you all pick someone for me to investigate. The Hutts have an easy target in me and if I die, despite my role, I dont think itll be that big of a loss.
I gave my reasoning on Blarg, he's played the game well and you know what he is. What threat does he pose? If he's telling the truth the only thing he can do is vote. We need his vote more than we need him gone.
I decided to reveal myself because I see the way the winds are shifting. Blarg is convincing, look at Palmer. He was dead set against not changing his vote but he did. What's to say when others read what has happened they won't all jump back on me? Time is running out on today and I have IRL things to take care of, better to out myself now than wait until the final minutes and hope people decide to stay on Blarg.
As I've said before I've never played Mafia before and being given the cop role I've no idea what to do. I don't post a lot anyway, I'm a lurker. But me being the cop and all I figured just keep my mouth shut and stay the lurker and only come out when I needed. But we see how that worked out.
I don't know who you should vote for, I'm not good at this. I wasn't able to read in depth what happened last night before leaving for work. When I get through taking my car to the shop I'll reread everything and say who I think is suspicious. Again though I'm not good at this so I'll probably pick a Rebel.
I'lol be looking at people who jumped on both me and Blarg though.
Guys. Blargonaut may be a Hutt but if we keep him alive we will have leverage over the Hutts. If need be we can vote him off in a snap of the finger. We all had our suspicions beforehand on who we were going to vote and see if they are Hutt, but now we KNOW who one of them is. We can try and find the Hutts and if we don't find a Hutt or someone suspicious in a day than we can vote Blarg. It makes sense. Don't vote Blarg. I see exactly why some of you would be like "He's a Hutt, get him out." but he offered to help and I trust Blarg because we have leverage over him at all times.
Those that are Hutts most definitely jumped in on voting Blarg. He's a threat to the Hutts right now. If we find someone suspicious in that group of bandwagoners than we can find a Hutt that's not Blarg. If there is a night we just have no clue we vote Blarg.
@Setre: I don't get it. Why role claim now? Their was not much pressure on him. So why role claim? And cop is an easy role to fake for Empire players.
But would also be a very risky move for an Empire player to claim so early in the game.
@Blargonaut: I believe him. Even if he has some power. He should be as clueless about the remaining players as we are. So I don't think we would risk much by keeping him, for now.
@QuantumBro: Still not sure what to make of his role claim. Probably missed something. But why did he role claim so suddenly?
I still can't believe that we'd have this role twice. Maybe he is an Empire player with a similar power? But blaster and/or shield would be too powerful for Empire players.
Which is?
What do we gain by keeping him?
How does this make him a threat if we keep him alive? How is he less of a threat to the hutts while dead? At what point do we detain him? After 1 mislynch? 2? 3? Which day do we waste?
I agree with Czar here. Blarg isn't really a threat to the hutts. He's not leverage over them. Remember the role PM? The Imperial Agents have no idea who the Hutt players are. The hutt players have no idea who the Imperial Agents are.
I also struggle to believe that in a game of Mafia that:
a. there are three sets of double roles (double armorers, Hutt-Aligned battle buddies and rebel aligned battle buddies)
and that
b. we found them all by day 2
Please tell me I'm not the only one who struggles to accept that as coincidence.
Has anyone considered the fact that Blarg is basically doing the same thing he did early day 1: Derail the conversation, which he admitted was his goal all along. If we don't vote him off, this is going to repeat every day. The Hutts probably love having him around, distracting us and taking up time we could be discussing other targets. I bet we have Hutts on both side of the conversation fueling the debate.
OK.
1) Blarg is not helpful to us. He claims he will help us now, but I still think he could change that either 'for fun' of because he gets pulled into the Hutt's proper by a power role.
2) Blarg is no threat tonight. I don't see anything happening with Blarg tonight that we can't fix tomorrow. If he gets invited to the Hutts tonight, or he gets armed tonight we can still detain him tomorrow with no consequences.
3) Great another strong power role is revealed. If we have a doctor, good fucking luck.
We currently have 5 Rebel roles potentially out in the open, at least 4 of them power roles (and 2 power roles are already dead).
TheWorthyEdge and Zubz, die together unless lynched
QuantumBro, Rebel Armourer
Setre, Cop
Palmer, Rebel - role unknown
We seem way overpowered compared to what we know of the Mobsters. I think that means we are either dealing with greater numbers of them (which ties in with the undercovers) or they will have strong roles (potentially including multiple night kills, which might account for the double kill on night 1).
Double kills are worrying because they could negate the shields being of use on our power roles.
So Setres claim:
- Do we trust he's Cop?
- I feel theres been a good few posts arguing to keep power roles hidden why reveal it at that point? And why fully reveal it, not even starting with some vague 'I have a power role I don't want to disclose' posts first?
- If he's lying why choose to say he looked at Palmer? I doubt a mobster would place one of their own in the clear, as it would mean one going down would result in both going down. So if Setre is a mobster and he was clearing a Rebel, why choose one that some people are suspicious about?
Front running options:
1) Detain Blarg.
+ It's safe.
+ It will need done eventually.
- Not reallly beneficial in the short term.
2) Detain Worthy/Zubz.
+ We confirm the survivors role.
+ We have a better chance of one of them surviving the night.
- We likely lose a rebel, giving the Hutt a slightly stronger voice.
- We are focussed on protecting a weaker role.
3) Detain Setre.
+ He's not been very active
+ Will give us some info on Palmer.
- We might lose our cop.
Final Thoughts
Theres also the QuantumBro situation. His posts really do feel like Rebel posts to me but his role reveal is the reason that we seem so overpowered and I still don't totally trust that it's true? I also don't think revealing himself was in the interest of the Rebels.
At some point we're going to have to take off our survivors guilt tinted glasses and properly look at Barry's posts.

Instead of retyping the logic that you so shamefully bat away; CzarTim, AbsolutBro, eJawa and johnny, I'm going to ask you four a very simple question:
Do you know why Palmer changed his mind?
Thanks for that post. More or less my thoughts.
I think we can use Setre as bait, assuming he is telling the truth about his role. Empire will try to kill or block him. Maybe there is a Rebel who can watch him.
At the moment I am leaning towards option 2. They are a likely target during the night. So we may lose them both anyway. If not at least we've got one confirmed Rebel out of it.
the problem is that you skim, you don't read. And yes, I say that despite the length and content of your replies.
They are likely targets so we should take them off the table and hope mafia kill our cop or remove the shield from our armorer (assuming they are both telling the truth) instead?

We'd lose "only" two pro rebel votes (assuming Blargonaut keeps his end of the bargain), by keeping Blargonaut in the game. And we may gain a confirmed Rebel.
What are the chances we have more than 5 Mafia in the game?
1. What is a pro-town vote at this stage of the game? Like right at this moment what is a pro-town vote? Who gets to decide this?
2. You'd rather lose an armor or cop to keep a confirmed rebel?
3. At what point when will it be okay to detain blarg? How will we know?
I'm not going to lie, I think you people are nuts for considering this. We might as well do this now when we have less to go on then later when we could be making decisions with more info and data. Tomorrow we can return to scumhunting without distractions.
I apologise, johnny and Absolut, things have been tense for me here and I'm just really invested in convincing people about my offer.
The last few pages have been a whirlwind of debate and honestly I missed those posts. Sorry.
However, I can sense that you both are still on the fence about me, and I sincerely want you to be on my side of this matter. Keeping me alive for a few more Days is logical, believe me.
But, nonetheless, you're both still skimming. My posts on Page 26; I really want you to experience the same catharsis that I believe Palmer had.
Anyway, as I said before, I'm a known quantity with a usable vote and even though you have to eventually detain me, that doesn't mean you have to immediately detain me.
Lose an Armorer or Cop? I think we should vote for Worthy or Zubz to confirm that their story is true.
I still think that the claims of Setre and QuantumBro are highly suspicious. Still don't understand why they did it.
WHY DID THR COP JUST ROLE CLAIM, WHY ARE WE BACK TO SQUARE ONE!?!?;?
You know what? Screw it!
VOTE: Rymuth
I am not going to sit here asking these questions. I say since we've all been suspicious of this guy, AND the fact that he barely posts, if we are going back to square one, back to in actives it is.
Who will mafia kill tonight?
I want to know if setre is a faction cop, role cop, or other form of cop.
Even if he gets replaced detaining him is probably the best choice, if only by default. It's the only choice that is 100% removed from this mess, which I feel we shouldn't touch until tomorrow when we Def. Will have plenty of information, considering all that's occurred.Rymuth is getting prodded in like an hour. As someone who was (and is) all for him getting detained, we might as well see if he gets replaced first.
This is part of why I'm not voting for any of the people involved in the current cluster fuck. Who the mafia kills may help sort it out anyway.
@Blargonaut
If your vote is at our command, apply it to Rymuth now.
This, this this this.This is part of why I'm not voting for any of the people involved in the current cluster fuck. Who the mafia kills may help sort it out anyway.
@Blargonaut

Ive already explained why I role claimed once. If Blarg was able to convince Palmer, who was dead set on detaining him, to change his vote back to me how many others is he going to convince to change their vote? Whos the next person everyone is going to vote for after that? Me. Why go ahead and claim my cop role? Well why not? If I said Im a power role dont kill me! you all wouldve asked what I was and I wouldve had to tell eventually. Might as well get it out of the way now then delay the inevitable.
Why call Palmer out? Again why not? The Hutts know hes not one of them and now my fellow Rebels do know hes one of them. It gives the Rebels someone to rally to when me, Zubs, and Worthy are gone. Because lets face it one of us is going to die tonight and the others are going to follow shortly after. Now the Rebels who dont have a power roll know they can trust Palmer. Besides when I eventually had to tell you all I was a cop you wouldve asked who I investigated.
I dont know what any of that means. All I know is that Im the last Rebel Officer and my power is I can investigate people at Night.
Now AGAIN the question I pose to all of you. Who should I investigate for tonight? If I die it won't matter but if the Hutts decide not to kill me you might as well make use of my power now before I die in Night 3 or 4.

To be honest, the only person I can say I trust at this point is palmer, would anyone care to guess why?
And now you want to vote a guy who could be a town who didnt know what he was getting into and could be replaced by someone who actually wants to play tomorrow? Like I was the first one on the vote Rymuth train, and all I see is a wasted detain on someone about to be prodded anyway.
I'll vote Rymuth tomorrow if he's still here,blarg is our best option today.
The ONLY reason I'm not voting for Blarg so because it would be a wasted vote at this moment in time. There is a clear divide on whether to kill him or not, so I doubt we will hit the majority or even the plurality nessisary to do the deed. Setre adding into to all this mess doesn't help at all. At this point, I don't even want to touch all that until tomorrow, when night has passed and we know more.TB, you seem like a smart guy, explain to me why we aren't voting blarg. Like the only reason I have seen is "he'll vote with us." Which is a complete misnomer, as there is no us. No one speaks for town. If the vote is split, he'll go with whoever kept him alive today, which isn't how this should work. He won't be making decisions in the town's best interest, he'll be trying to stay alive. Don't we learn more from his death? If he is the IA, we'll know both of them are dead. If he's lying and a sk, we know there's still one out there. If he's Hutt, same deal.

As for Rymuth, both my and plamers posts are clear as to why we want to go in that direction.
Also, I've said it before, so I'll say it again:
The first guy who gets a chance better SHOOT THAT NERF HEARDER(Blarg)
But he still has a plurality? Also if he is sk he might be nk invulnerable, why waste a bullet?
Unless there is some third party information that hasn't been posted, no, we don't. We know he claims to be an Imperial Agent. That's all. I could claim to be the Emperor himself, that doesn't make it true. (I am also not claiming to be the Emperor himself, so we're clear.)
SK means we somehow blocked a different kill last night. Same thing happened in our first game, after all, but the odds are pretty low. I don't think we have a SK. I'm pretty sure exmachina's blasters were meant to become a lot of extra night kills.
I thought Agents were on the side of Hutts?
Can you sum up you case on him?Btw. what about OceanicAir?
I still find it odd that no one followed my vote, iirc.
I think most/all other votes received some kind of support? Why not OceanicAir?
You are making a lot of assumptions that we have no way of confirming right now. You could be 100% right, but are we going to take that chance?
VOTE: raindoc
I've been unsure of him since the exmachina pile-on. Each time theres a post about how important detaining is for building knowledge he goes against it, he would rather take easy options that don't help us learn anything. His arguments never feel like they are best for the rebels to me.
Blargonaut. Change your vote to raindoc.

You're only seeing the surface of the water.
I'm trying to teach you to dive.
At the very least, read my most recent posts since the beginning of page 26 and see if you still maintain your same 'Against' position for keeping me around.
Please, kindly read them again in my hope that you will finally understand my reasoning.

Alrighty then.
VOTE: raindoc
Reason:
- Now that you've brought him up, I see your point.
- I've also had my own suspicions about raindoc since Day 1.
- traube also makes a valid point, that Rymuth will be replaced soon anyway if he doesn't re-commit and post in this thread soon.
- Sorry, Palmer; currently, their argument is convincing. I hope you still believe in me ;o
