This is just a compilation of various things that I’ve said and my reasons for saying them. People who’ve been claiming that I’ve had to reason or backup to my arguments are mistaken, because I put thought into everything that I type – obviously I make mistakes sometimes, but over time I’ll improve for sure. You can only improve in Mafia through getting to know the other players over time by playing multiple rounds with them, and this is only my 2nd with you guys :) Heck, I haven’t even finished my English Lan/Lit GCSE yet! xD
After the early accusations:
“GodofWar - if you're a townie, then you're not playing very well at all. How can you expect us to trust you if you make random accusations against people?
Seriously guys, I'm town - I have a feeling that the mafia roles are going to be difficult to beat in this game, so let's not crush our chances before we've even begun.”
It’s a valid point. GodofWar can’t be town, because the basis of his argument rests solely on my overly defensive position at the beginning of the game. This would be understandable, except remember that I was under threat of an early bandwagon, because the FIRST THING that GoW said once the game had begun was a vote on me. If he was town, then he wouldn’t have followed through on an accusation that even he admitted was baseless.
“This "vibe" that you're feeling- I understand, because I'm starting to feel it about you. As I stated earlier, I'm the only person - bar the mafia - that knows that I'm not Mafia. Taking into consideration my performance from last game, I assume that GodofWar picked up that I'm a little too eager to defend myself when I'm accused of something (in this case, wrongly). By accusing me of being Mafia, and making me defend myself makes me look even more suspicious. It's a clever plan, but with the information that I've got, I'm more than a little suspicious that GodofWar is a Mafian. You can't just go about accusing random people if you're a townie, because if you got me lynched, and found out that I am town, you'd be the number one suspect on the list. Because I think you're quite intelligent, and therefore would not make such a ridiculous mistake by trusting a "vibe" that has no foundation to it, it looks to me that there's quite a chance that you're actually a Mafian yourself.”
Let’s take a step back and think about what reasons there are to vote for me in this incredibly early stage of the game.
- Overly defensive after random accusations
At this point, that’s about it. How can people cast genuine votes that backtrack to a simple mistake such as this? Not a Mafia mistake – just a simple misuse of words, which was probably even more understandable considering that I was quite ill at the time of the game starting (none of you to blame for that of course, just throwing it out there).
“I played terribly last game, and I'm trying to not make the same mistakes - I'll be "sounding" like this in all future Mafia games, you have my word :P”
I said this quote after being told that I was playing differently to last game, in which I was a member of the town. This is true, and I don’t deny that – but there’s also no denying that I was playing very badly last game. I didn’t really know any of you guys, and I was just adjusting to all your different playstyles. I’ll continue to play these Mafia games, and I’ll sound like this – Mafia or not.
“So many people are trying to annoy me today xD
Do you guys find the responses you get funny or something? :(
GOD STOP QUOTING ME AND SAYING THINGS WITH THAT GOD-AWFUL ";)" SMILY AT THE END :G”
A lot of people were using this quote as an example of my defensiveness, but it’s actually a misuse of the quote. Notice I rage about the ;) face, showing that I hated having people joke with me – that comment was a joke in itself, but it was just used against me xD
“I didn't want to give away any of my role at this early stage of the game, but I can help the town get more Dragonballs. I don't want to say too much more, because my game plan will mess up like it did last time :S”
Just saying that I have roleclaimed a little – although I’ve tried to keep it as secretive as possible, and give away very little information. All that I can say is, it’s a very interesting role, and definitely unique to this round of Mafia. You’ll want to have it on your side as the game progresses (definitely on night 4). But I’ll leave you to speculate on that.
“I voted for a no lynch, because I'm never in favour of killing someone on the first day, because it's too risky. Day 1 is the only point in the game that I ever cast a No Lynch though :)”
Got quite a lot of stick for that, which is a little strange since I know that many people agree with me. Anyway, that’s what I believe – deal with it, and please don’t use it as a pointless argument against me.
“I was very defensive last game too, but I covered it up by giving out my role early. I've got quite an interesting and helpful role this time around though, and I don't want to give too much away.
I'm naturally defensive, and I'm sorry about that. :) “
Forgot to mention – I’m naturally defensive, especially over the internet for some reason :p But that’s beside the point. I was defensive last game too, but I gave my role out too early, and you all missed it.
From this point onwards, it’s mainly people accusing me for things that are the same as what I’ve just defended myself against in this piece. I just wanted to say that there’s almost nothing more that I can do to prove my innocence in Day 1, so I just hope that the majority of you can see sense in keeping me for at least another day to see how events develop, and what else I can do to help the town. If the situation unfolds that ends up with me dead, I just want to make this my official death message, that the people that are targeting me now – with no resistance – are Mafia, there’s no doubt about it. They’ve pounced on all my weaknesses and driven my arguments into the ground with mere accusations and no proof. That’s what we’re missing – proof. And I hate to be the person who falls back on this point to make it through a day, but I’ve got little choice. I’m calling to the rest of the town – please see sense and keep me a little longer. I’ll stop with all this defensive nonsense, and I’ll look into each of the players and I might even make a character profile for everyone and analyse their chances of being Mafia, if I have the time.
Thanks for reading.
