I'm surprised because Mr.P was the most voted for lynch. I imagine that, if I were mafia, I would have chosen Mr.P for the kill and thus, make everyone of the ones that chose him look guilty. Weird strategy, but I have seen it work somehow in person, just screwing with everyone's minds. As for the FF question, Prof and Linkz suspected FF at the somewhat beginning of the game, but now that I've re-read around 30+ pages of old posts, they changed their minds rather quickly. That's what happens when you only listen to the big posts, I suppose :P

I know you acknowledged Mr.P's role claim. That didn't factor into your reaction?

So you thought the two of them because it would make the people pointing fingers at them look guilty. For prof you said "I think he's a very active player here and he's been asking me questions pretty frequently." Please explain why that would make him a good target.

From my past experiences with similar games, the most active players used to be guilty. And the best defense is a good offense, how is people going to suspect you if you're the one asking all the questions and putting people between the sword and the wall?. That said, the games were pretty different than this one, so the same rules may not apply here.

That is further away from an explaination of why you were surprised that prof wasn't the kill if as an active person he is likely to be guilty.

I do expect a response about Mr.P's role claim and your reaction btw.

I'm looking for the exact post and initial reactions of everyone, but he was the one that said he was D. Va, right? I thought it was forbidden to publicly announce your role, or even talk about someone's role if it's not dead, and I don't know what exactly D.Va does. I don't think he's guilty, he just saw himself starting to get all the fingers pointed at him one by one, and just said his role to try to defend himself, which is natural, considering he only manage to escape death by tying with the no lynch votes.

D. Va is the name that was claimed, not the role.

^My questions to start with

I'm surprised because Mr.P was the most voted for lynch. I imagine that, if I were mafia, I would have chosen Mr.P for the kill and thus, make everyone of the ones that chose him look guilty. Weird strategy, but I have seen it work somehow in person, just screwing with everyone's minds.

That's what happens when you only listen to the big posts, I suppose :P

Maybe it's a strategy you would use?

@linkz
Regarding baalz. You're right that it does make sense to use him to kill someone else, but I don't think it's actually safer in terms of evading a watcher since a redirector is able to be seen at both places. So it's actually twice as much exposure.

Anyway, it's not a completely fleshed out idea, but I think we should just be aware that one potentially exists.

Maybe, but If I were mafia, I would probably have no idea what to do, considering that everytime I try to explain my choices here, more people point fingers at me.

If you go into Settings, you can change the number of posts per page from 10 to 25, 50, 75, or 100.  I personally find that 50 post pages aren't so large that I get lost in them while at the same time really cut down on the number of pages to worry about, especially in situations like VGC Mafia where a lot of re-reading can be called for.  For reference, we're on Page 16 right now for me.

My advice to fanboys: Brag about stuff that's true, not about stuff that's false. Predict stuff that's likely, not stuff that's unlikely. You will be happier, and we will be happier.
