Also, I agree we should be focusing on groups like Rarity or Rainbow Dash as there is fewer suspects in those groups which would make it easier to pin point the scum. If we were to start with the Pinkie Pie group which a lot of people seem to be suspicious of we would never get anywhere.

Not necessarily. There's a higher chance the mafia fake-claimed into the larger groups than the smaller groups, while steering clear of the smaller groups. 

Also, to you, who are the suspects in Rarity and Dash groups? 

Rainbow Dash: This is really hard :'( I know for sure I am town but as to you and linkz I can't really say. If anyone I would have to say that you are the mafia due to the reasons you listed in your own post  http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/post.php?id=4751088

That said why anyone would go out of their way to put suspicion on themselves beyond me unless this is a very clever gamble.

This is probably the hardest group for me to come up with an answer to at the moment.

Rarity: At the moment I am a town feel off of hat although I am not completely confident in saying he is town yet. This leaves it between pezus and stefl which are pretty hard to choose between.

I probably suspect pezus the most (although only slightly more). The reasons for my suspicions on both pezus and stefl are as follows (this is based purely off of reading the last two pages or so);

Pezus: Whilst he has been one of the more active players in my eyes, he hasn't posted many reasons for thinking what he has been saying;

http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/post.php?id=4751222

http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/post.php?id=4751236

All the above show that he has opinions but give no insight into why he has them. Care to explain them pezus?

The following post, whilst a joke also added to the feeling of him posting to make sure people didn't think that he was trying to hide but not adding a lot to the discussion.

On the otherhand, he posted this;

http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/post.php?id=4751309

This and a few other posts of his suggest he really feels upset about the recent decision for names to not be revealed when people are killed which doesn't sit right with someone that is playing as mafia.The three short bursts of posts about this are one of my main reasons for thinking this as the style they feel like he has simply written what feeling came to mind at the time whereas a mafia player would be more likely to think about their response to this news in order to appear town.

Stefl: One of the main reasons that I don't have much to think stefl is mafia is because in the last two pages he has only posted three times with the following;

http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/post.php?id=4750896

http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/post.php?id=4751442

http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/post.php?id=4751434

I know that he is trying to cut down on the size of spurge's posts (great posts that have a lot of good points but they are really big and ungainly) but he commented on the post saying he liked it and then gave no further thoughts on it other than appearance. His other two posts are similar in nature, ie. they address something but don't actually attempt to analyse anything and one seems pretty irelevant (would have made sense to at least include a few thoughts along with it surely).

At the moment the only reason I suspect pezus is because I have more on him so I am going to keep an eye on Stefl's future posts.

@spurge, why did you say " Also you are up Radish's ass like Mantle was up Hatmozas." in your last post? I appreciate this could have come across once when I defended him with the timezone thing against zero which I did not to defend Radish per sae but to attempt to make zero realise not everyone is in the same time zone as him and that we can't all post at the same time. I'll admit it came off in the form of defending Radish but that's because on zero's list he was the only one I knew for sure was in a different time zone.

I didn't read after Prof and even time I try to post this my boss closes the tab as a running gag. I'll do worser things to his coffee tomorrow.

anyway, redo! I don't like the game flavor or lack of characters anyway.

F-F redo with a better presentation of the characters and don't dwell on rules so much. The more rules you make, the more rules we can break.

Also you kinda confirmed me town. This game is bust.

In short, I agree with prof.

I agree that the game would be better off being redone with a greater representation of the characters of MLP. Your idea was nice but now it is kind of broken :(

Just gauging your response.

Will Noctis grace us with his presence and a list like linkz?

Mayhaps mantle has finally finished his re-read and would bestow upon us his list as well?

I know that you will argue that it's helpful, but honestly pezuz, asking for everyone's pony list is useless.  

Why? Because they mean shit right now. Most players here will largely go on basis of elimination, which is sound, until you realize that it's day 1 and you will still have doubts on your choices. I've read too many instances of "a but less town-like" for me to be convinced that isn't happening. 

The lists are too broad and will fail at putting pressure on anyone. The only thing it will achieve is giving the mafia a heads up that they are in the someone's radar, without having that mafia break a sweat.

j0, oh and the geniuses with the master plan, hatmoza and mario, as well perhaps?


lol, at first I thought this post was asking for yoshiya's opinions on mario, hat and I. But it looks like he ninja'd you. 

My last post still stands. 

I'll entertain you for a bit, thoug:. I have you at the head of Rarity, and no one for Rainbow Dash. I'm not gonna bother with the other two because it's me guessing. My Noctis and Zero suspicions are unrelated to the lists.

^ The post in question


I will explain some of my posts here.

I believe hatz is town because his posts have come off as genuine to me. I really have no posts to link to in that regard, because that's just an overall feeling I get. Stefl, has made some good, clear posts, but they are few in total. He was better early-game iirc, but now he is borderline lurking like he did last time. So I am leaning stefl for that group, although with hatz you can't be sure.

j0 in his group because you seem very towny and linkz gives me a towny vibe as well. I feel like I don't even need to explain why you seem very towny, as it has already been done. Linkz pretty much always seems towny though, whether scum or town, but this time I am not quite as sure as I was last game. He has been questioning folks, mass-quoting etc. but...I can't pin it down. Something seems wishy-washy.

prof/mario/soleron because none of them has been particularily active and so I can't judge them much. I want to know why soleron isn't posting much anymore. I know prof said he was busy irl, but mario...I would like to ask him a question: Why is noctis not a good choice for a lynch? Who instead? 

Do I need to explain the third post? Upset that the game had turned out this way, and that I am yet again playing as town against all odds >_>

You nailed the last part. Everything I say here is genuine. You can check my previous games if you want, this is how I've always been. Who knows how I will be if I ever play as a mafia? I feel like since I've played so long as a townie that it will be easy to notice a change when it happens, so I am afraid.

Sorry, I should have been more clear. I want to know why you think mafia haven't counter-exploited it well rather than why you are annoyed with it all?

As to the rest, thanks for explaining, it has helped to lower my suspicions of you and for now places stefl as the mafia in your group, I'll have to see what he comes out with later on though.

-snip-

Derp? I didn't put suspicion myself (intentionally, at least). 

What I said in that sentence is that even though people were the most suspicious of me, I simply can't say you or linkz are scum. (Which, you know, would give me an excuse to get people to stop being suspicious of me.)

I don't have any problems with a complete restart, by the way. I love the flavour, and it'd be a shame to make it weaker by not having character names

Nothing is quick, and nothing is hardly ever easy in a mafia game yoshi.

Oh I know but considering a large part of my suspicions came from the fact that I felt he had been posting things with no backing simply to appear active and doing something so when he gave a list of reasons (none of which are particularly weak compared to what everyone else has been posting) it removed that part of the suspicions. It's not like I am going to ignore him from now on because I think he is town but I no longer have the same feelings for mafia for him as I had from before.
