New HIFL Boards Mafia Game Over Scum Win FALLOUT

[GM Oldfield]

Haha my bad! Shame on me

[GM Bennett]

Just me being active lol i dont much care how anyone takes it as I said previously. Just here for the fun of it all, unless someone has a issue with me just enjoying myself and having fun with the flavor of the game?

Also was waiting for Fosters to reply to Franchise Day 1 but he never did. And I don't think anyone took Talon's vote against you as a serious vote.

Since it's all fun to you, has anyone looked suspicious to you? Any observations on the players based on the posts that have been made so far?

Just Fosters for the time being for the reasons I've already stated. Not quite buying him saying it was a joke vote, then Stevie coming to his defense even tho it did seem sus to me. Is the vote on me actually for me saying I'm cool with being lynched resulting in town's mistake or is it cause I said Foster's vote was a bit sus?

Ed's silence is odd, its unlike him to be inactive.

Something else to take note of going forward.

Good answers. I'm specifically looking at the people pushing the Bennett vote. It's too easy and he's an easy vote for this day phase going by his posts. Most likely he's town and one of the people pushing that vote is who really is the right vote.

Powers and Fosters are the main two I'm looking at with Powers being the stronger feeling out of the two. The elaborate post keeps the heat on Bennett, keeps him active, and avoids drawing attention which is essential to successful scum play in this set up.

Not sure anyone is a Target but my spider sense always tingles towards attempted comedy.

I just don't like people who say 'Go on lynch me, the town we'll regret etc.'

Fosters may well be suspect, he's certainly not done anything to prove his innocence. But that vote was a joke post IMO

[GM Fosters]

Sorry everyone, I forgot that only certain people are allowed to do a joke vote on day one.  ::)

Franchise and I wind each other up in every mafia game.

Now you know why I keep saying day one joke voting is bullshit in every game.

Speaking of votes...

Vote Count:

Bennett (1) - Oldfield

Deadline is in 3ish hours. 5 votes for a lynch

[GM Eli]

Not a lot to go on so far. But Oldfield defending Fosters but calling out Talon for the same thing, and then telling me to read his whole post without actually reading mine makes me lean in his direction.

That's the best I've got to go off of right now.

Vote: Oldfield

[GM Bennett]

I just don't like people who say 'Go on lynch me, the town we'll regret etc.'

In case you missed it,

Just me being active lol i dont much care how anyone takes it as I said previously. Just here for the fun of it all, unless someone has a issue with me just enjoying myself and having fun with the flavor of the game?

Because I uh...I don't care who likes my post or not especially if I'm just trying to see if there's any clues to find out who Danica is and who she hacked to join her side

Just in case you're not connecting the dots, I don't care how anyone feels about my posts lol. This is the first time I've been able to be town in forever and I'm gonna do whatever I want, how I want in order to help town and that includes being a martyr (first lynch) just to help the game go along. How you may take that is beyond me, I'm just here to have fun and take on this whacky adventure the mod has us on.

If that's you're key reason to vote for me by all means but pairing iffy reasoning + what others have pointed out it's just looks a bit strange.

Sorry everyone, I forgot that only certain people are allowed to do a joke vote on day one.  ::)

No, the interaction was just weird to me. Didn't appear Franchise was in on that joke so why should I assume it was just two pals trying to poke fun at each other and not something obvious like purposely try to go after someone who is looked at as a surefire to react to anything and everything, high paranoia and will scrutinize everything. If your planning on getting a rise out of someone, Franchise would surely be one of those people (which he even has admitted himself).



All that said, taking everything into consideration and backreading Stevie is a bit too wishy washy for me and very suspect. Voted for me but I'm just not buying his reasonining along with his sporadic finger pointing all while defending Fosters who is imo also suspect.

VOTE: OLDFIELD

[GM Mike Powers]

Since no one answered my question I did my own math - Number relate to the number of posts the person has made but not the quality of them.

1. Fosters - 4
2. Oldfield - 3
3. Eli - 2
4. Bennett - 6
5. Franchise - 6
6. Talon - 2
7. Lucas - 2
8. Pancho - 2
9. Powers - 3

Fosters and Franchise as the only two people to vote day one what was the reasoning for your votes and would you make the same votes for this day phase?

I didn't vote Day One. Fosters voted me and Talon voted for you.

I stand corrected. Sorry for assuming you OMGUS voted.

Talon was a joke vote I think but Fosters' vote was a bit sus cause it was specifically tailored to try and get a rise out of Franchise. Franchise replied back implying because of the reason he chose to vote for Franchise, he should instead vote himself. I understood Talon was fucking around but I just didn't really get the Fosters vote tbqh. If it was a joke vote fine but didn't quite rub me the right way and Franchise rightfully so didn't take a liking to it either

1. I hate people making arguments on behalf of others.  You're making a lot of assumptions FOR Talon and while I don't disagree with you I wouldn't come to that conclusion with the finality you have.

2. You make a lot of great points about Fosters vote - why didn't you voice them before in day one or earlier in this day phase? Instead you've stuck to the flavor and brushed it all off with a "you'll be sorry post" and then followed it up with this whopper "I'm just trying to see if there's any clues to find out who Danica is and who she hacked to join her side" - something your previous post could have easily replaced.

3. So Bennett can you walk me through the logic of the posts you've made?

Two posts later.....

I didn't reply to Franchise's comments because I was joking about voting Franchise on day 1. I have no reason to be suspicious of him yet.

Bennett is coming across as suspicious though, especially the way he's making arguments on behalf of others.

Way to piggyback off of a strong player.

Vote - Fosters

[GM Dougie]

No need...

No lynch. It is now night two. you have 48 hours until 8:30pm EST Sunday to submit your actions in the appropriate area. Day phase MAY start sooner if all actions are submitted.

[GM Dougie]

Danica: "So here's the plan. You show your tits on the internet, we see who goes to look at them, track their IP address, and boom. We kill a mother fucker."

Candace: "If there's literally only one thing that's ever mattered in my career, its these jugs!"



(Instantly, the two get hits from all over but one specifically comes from Eli.) The go daddy crew drives over to his place and Candace shows her tits outside of his window.)

Eli: Shit those are real?

(The moment Eli steps outside, Danica runs his ass over in the Go Daddy car.)

----

Dead: Eli - The Mod??!!

It is now Day 3. You have a little over 72 hours until 8:30pm EST to come to a lynch. With 8 players remaining it takes 5 to lynch.

Vote: Oldfield

Eli was clearly onto something with this post. These two and Powers before his last post are my strongest reads but I don't suspect Powers anymore after his vote post. That said I think Eli was killed for being too close to figuring things out. Oldfield, anything to say about this?

[GM Lucas]

Seems coincidental that once ELI starts questioning Oldfield he gets murked. Buuuuuutttttt, I have to think it's a rookie move to murk the guy who puts a vote on you so early. I find it hard to believe Oldfield would pull a rookie move like that. I could be wrong but this smells more like a slight a hand move to get attention away from the perp.

One thing that stood out was Oldfield dropped a vote on Bennett. A bunch of post from everyone later Bennett only dropped a vote on Oldfield only after ELI did so. Weird timing, not sure if it was a safe bandwagon move or not. But for them ELI to get murked makes my spider sense tingle.

Bennett, can you explain your timing on voting Oldfield only after ELI did so.

I don't think Oldfield did it. I think he either knows who did it (if he was the recruit night one) or the other party in the Eli vote post, Fosters, did it to set him up. It would both eliminate Eli who was onto something and set up a fall guy for it at the same time. One of these two scenarios is what I think is going on.

I already explained my reasoning in my post, and still feel the same way.

Vote: Oldfield

[GM Mike Powers]

Am I alone in thinking Eli's death reads like some PGO variant? It looks like Eli targeted Candace, and was killed because of it?

[GM Franchise]

You are correct, it reads like that to me which only leads me right back to his vote post. Going to let everyone check in but leaning Fosters for my vote right now.

[GM Oldfield]

Wow. Someone's clearly framed me. Very clever.

[GM Oldfield]

And just for the record. I have literally no knowledge of any night activities. Sorry.

[GM Franchise]

Wow. Someone's clearly framed me. Very clever.

This is the same conclusion I came to. I think you're the fall guy for the real culprit considering you had heat on you last day phase. It's a smart move by whoever did it.

[GM Oldfield]

I mean my only guess would be Bennett. He went on me quite hot and doesn't seem to be the type that does it just because I attacked him. Kept accusing me of 'defending fosters' over and over again about one post where I thought he made a joke.

[GM Fosters]

I'm not entirely sure why Oldfield is taking as much heat as he is. I also don't know why everyone is think I am so suspicious.

I happened to make a joke vote about Franchise and I always being at each other throats, and low and behold he's come after me... again.

Im not saying Franchise is scum, just I think a few people are playing on that history.

[GM Oldfield]

Seems to me a lot of people have spotted this attempt to frame me. It's just a question of who would do it

I'm not saying you're scum going by that. I'm going by Eli's last post before he died. I think Oldfield got set up and the only other person mentioned in that post was you. That's my theory at the moment

[GM Bennett]

Lies on top of lies. I don't have any ulterior motives or anything to go off except what has been presented to me with all the posts I've read. Everything I've read makes me suspect you & Fosters and I have no reason to not think any different especially after Drew got killed.

I. Am. Not. Changing. My. Mind.

There's nothing either of you can say to change my mind.

[Talon]

Am I alone in thinking Eli's death reads like some PGO variant? It looks like Eli targeted Candace, and was killed because of it?

I think that's more flavor of the write up, Candace is written up as red, so I don't know if there would be a scum PGO type role, and technically Candace visited Eli's window.

I'm starting to lean into the Fosters as scum idea, but I don't think that Oldfield is at this time. 

Vote - Fosters


Not 100% yet, but its my strongest read.


Ed and Pancho being quiet continues to pique my interest though.

[GM Franchise]

Fuck it, was leaning Fosters anyway so I'm not crazy with my game assessment.

Vote: Fosters

[GM Mike Powers]

I re-read it and you're correct - I mistakenly read it as Candace visiting Eli, but it was the other way around. My bad.

Not ready to vote yet, want to hear what Fosters has to say next.

Bennett, can you explain your timing on voting Oldfield only after ELI did so.

DEFINITELY! HAVE NOT BEEN QUIET. Said my peace, asked Bennett to elaborate, he double downed. I sat back and watched what Fosters, Oldfield and Bennett have to say. Definitely don't feel like posting for the sake of being active.

As far as Fosters go, he hasn't made a case for himself not being scum, can't see dropping a vote on him just yet though.

Killing Eli raised some possibilities

Bennett Framing Oldfield.

Fosters Framing Bennett and or Oldfield

Oldfield being ballsy and killing Eli so he could play the "Framed me Card"

Doesn't mean you weren't recruited. My vote is staying put.

[GM Franchise]

unvote

Just because he knows about new board members doesn't mean he's innocent. There was a recruit night one. If it was him or someone was recruited they easily could pass on that information to their teammate which is why I'm not budging on this. It's an easy way out to say that if someone got caught.

[GM Oldfield]

An Unvote with no explanation is quite suspicious

[GM Fosters]

Vote Oldfield

For not understanding why. I agree Talon could have been recruited... but Oldfield not getting it looks scummy to me.

The new boards members gather around Fosters and are determined that Fosters is either Danica or Candace. After brutually strangling Fosters to death, they rip his shirt off.

"These aren't the tits we're looking for!"

Alas...the GoDaddy crew remains at large looking to ruin our new home.

Dead: Fosters - New Boards Member

It is now night 3. You have 48 hours to submit your actions appropriately. Day can start sooner if everything is in.

[GM Dougie]

Danica is making Candace wash her car off in a bikini because...you know, nearly naked girls covered in soap is totally a thing that attracts guys who lurk on the internet.

Its then that Pancho enters the scene.

"Tits. Ass. Give me a tequila."

Danica: How about I jack you off?

Its not what you think. She bashes his fucking skull in with a tire jack. Poor Pancho.

Dead: Pancho - New Boards Member

It is now Day 4. With 6 players alive, 4 votes are required to lynch.

Given the holiday, this phase will last 96 hours to allow for additional time to play if needed. Deadline is 7pm-ish EST Monday 12/27.
