Round 52 - Mafia the Hedgehog

Tael wrote:EDIT: And I may as well role reveal, I inherited the doctor power from massive night 1 when he died. Hasn't been very useful so far, I tried to protect gamage but shenanigans (great job zyq) ended up getting him killed anyway.

If we have such thing as a Backup Doctor, it might be credible.
Either way, I deserve all these votes. I have been a piece of shit player recently. :V
Tael votan. Not role-revealing just yet.

DA - 3 - Zyquux, Tael, Stalin

HALF REACHED

Okay, rolereveal time.
Hider; Can only hide once every other day (as in, 1 day cooldown)
Pro town and shit.

Keeping my vote

Well I guess I switch to Tael to try to prevent a mafia instalynch.

DA - 3 - Tael, Stalin, Phoenix
Zyquux - 1 -Scept
Tael - 2 - DA, Zyquux
6/8

Bangwagoning Tael to save DA.

7/8

Why save DA over me? Assuming no one knows who's telling the truth, wouldn't a doctor be worth saving over a hider?

Good point. Forgot you had revealed up there. Abstain for safety.

DA - 3 - Tael, Stalin, Phoenix
Zyquux - 1 -Scept
Tael - 2 - DA, Nyu
Abstain the Echnida - 1 - Zyquux

7/8

Well jeez. I actually think DA's innocent, and my main suspicions are on Scept and to a lesser extent nyu and phen now. Keeping my vote to save my hide and potentially a few others later.

But I'm fairly confused as to what went on with gamage's death, as I was doctoring him and zyq said he roleblocked him. Do the rules state getting roleblocked stops a third party doctor, or did more shenanigans take place?

So Zyq roleblocked Gamage? And you protected him?
Well, he SHOULD be alive, since Roleblockers do not influence on the target's doctor.

If Zink messed up, I'll let it slide, it IS his first time hosting, so...
This is still giving me doubts about the Backup Doctor thing.
In any case, if I try to follow my hunch and vote for Scept, I'll be the only one being offed so far, so just to save my ass, I'm keeping my vote.

...why would I bring it up if I was lying about doctoring? It's inconsistent with my actions, that's the point. You're the expert on mafia and you say that he should've survived, so I can only assume more shenanigans. That, or Zyq is lying about his role, but I'm inclined to believe him at the moment.

EDIT:
DA - 2 - Stalin, Phoenix
Zyquux - 1 -Scept

Y'know, I think I trust DA more than I do scept at the moment.

I love how the vampire was killed just before he would've converted. Also, [REDACTED SINCE IT PROBABLY BREAKS RULE TWO].
Good luck guys.

Good to have you on board, mate

To clarify: Roleblockers prevent their TARGET from performing actions. It might have been a mafia hitman with an unblockable kill or some other form of roleblocker (mafia, jack-of-all-trades, etc).

LET'S DO THIS

I think I did it right, but you can all look at the log of night actions when this is over and let me know! :P

I see all votes are cast. I'm waiting on a night action or two, but once I have them if you all wish for a speed-up I shall oblige.

That afternoon:

Without their leader, the group had fallen into disarray, unable to make a clear choice. They drew straws for the three, so that chance could pick for them.

Rouge drew the short straw

Spoiler:

That night:

Chip was sleeping soundly, having sweet dreams of chocolate, ice cream and all manner of other foods. He wasn’t really that bothered about the whole situation: he was immortal, and usually had much bigger things to deal with. He was so small in fact, that the Possessed managed to tie him up in a bag before knocking him out, and then kicking him all the way back the to base. Harsh.

Chip left his dignity far behind.

Spoiler:

Later yet:

A dark figure stood ominously on the roof of a nearby building, waiting for a chance to strike. He was far from certain that his target was Possessed, but he did not appreciate their meddling, nor was he the kind to sit around and wait for things to work themselves out.
"Chaooosss SPEAR!" he shouted, launching the powerful energy lance at Silver, who was far too slow to save himself. Silver wasn’t alone, but his companion swiftly fled round the corner.
"Hmph." Shadow had no concern with anyone else. He dragged Silver to a cage in the town centre and skated off into the night.

Silver made a powerful enemy.

Spoiler:

Day 6, GOTTA GO FAST

Ending 1am GMT / 5pm PST / 8pm EST
5 players remain...

Dammit guys.

I guess I can focus on my midterm and paper now.

I guess I was roleblocked again, because I doctor'd zyq

*BEING USEFUL*

....Goddamn Vigilanties.

I had a whole plan too.

Whoever is killing off the mafia all these nights
I love you.

So! We got the Mafia Roleblocker! (and the regular one, too) This means that Tael can now protect!
And Scept is down for the count, meaning that we no longer have to worry about survivors!

And I say... Nale

Nale - 1 - DA

Exactly how does your role work, DA?

(also jesus christ, whoever is vigilante is doing a damn fine job of keeping up with our screwups)

Hmm... still very hard to decide... I wanna go for Nale, but I also have suspicions on Nyu...

Nyu votan

Nale - 1 - DA
Nyu - 1 - Phoenix

"The Commuter is a role that 'leaves Town' each Night, thus making them ineligible to be targeted by Night actions. By extension, they cannot use any Night actions they may have."
-MafiaScum Wiki

The latter only applies IF I have any other night actions other than commuting.
Speaking of which, I'm in cooldown mode right now.

Nyu, Nale, Tael, are you guys gonna vote?
Day ends in 1h45m...
