VGC Mafia Round 25

[Linkzmax]

Okay, I found myself once again trying to fit observed behavior into a fictional framework as noname put it. Instead of pointing out all of the things I think mafia-Heph did and why, I'm just going to point out the two things Heph said that were missing from noname's summary and gave me a scummy vibe. This will also explain why I was going to give Wonk an HoS.

1) o recall both massons and mafia being told they could talk day one last round... trucks was a masson, he might have liked the idea. Especially as this little advantage could help tweak the game to a 2 mafia other day SK rather than just 3 mafia?

Well I did think it was wierd when I read it in the quicktopics but now I wouldn't rule it out...

They were allowed a single "I'm here" type of post as Day One started.  That was it.  I see that the way I worded that post looks funny, but if you look at the timestamps, you see that there really wasn't any discusion during the Day.

That is an interesting theory that you think Trucks let them talk during Day One this game, but I think it is highly unlikely.

2) then it was.

and yes it is an unlikely theory, but i can see trucks trying to find ways to add spice without changing too much from vanilla, if not in this way, then in an other.

3) I think this could be a possible slip.  I have some ideas but I would like to hear other peoples thoughts first.  No Heph not you.  shoo

1) I already pointed this post out, but Heph mentioning an SK really jumped out to me. His idea of allowing mafia to talk during the day makes me think he could be one of the 2 he mentions and coordinating actions to hunt for an SK as well as set up a mislynch. On the other hand, he could be an SK and thinks this tweak would keep the odds in favor of the main anti-town faction winning.

2) I really didn't want to point this out, because when I read it I was thinking Heph hinted at a non-standard pro-town role. But three things have put me at ease about that:
First, Wonk already pointed it out and then FF mentioned it also. If it wasn't seen already, then it certainly has by now.
Second, although Heph snipped out the "slip" when he replied to Wonk, the way he continues to discuss it leads me to believe he isn't worried about it.
Third, I recalled that the last thing something with a role should do is hint at it.

Vote: Hephaestos

3) This one is for Wonk. If he really saw this as a slip then he should've voted here and not after a few more posts. Additionally, it's troublesome that he hasn't shared any of the "ideas" yet, although FF was the only other person to comment on it so far. If he was thinking, like I was initially, that Heph could have a non-standard pro-town role then he should've avoided Heph's post like the plague instead of drawing attention to it.
