Merlin Mafia

Oh look, Aithusa was in the game.

jd is Gwaine. I've figured that for a while now.

Keep in mind that Gwaine isn't our target, lol. He wins with either side.

Also, I don't think gimmepie getting the ring clears him. He could be Mordred and have gotten the ring.
 
jd is the only one who never claimed though. You'd think he'd claim citizen if he was Gwain tho. Jd should hard claim first before we move on though. I'd talk more once he claims.
 
I don't think me or jd is Mordred, because both of us are fighting to NOT get lynched. If we are at MYLO, why would either of us be fighting for your trust, when we could probably team up against the other people though.
 
This might be a mistake, but yeah, I'm Gawain. I'll list my actions so far, I think it could help.

N0: Abstain
N1: Naku
N2: Abstain
N3: Naku
N4: Wiicked
N5: Gunner
N6: Ullion
N7: gimmepie

I'd have to go back and see if there were fake guns/vests handed out when I roleblocked Naku, but it might be hard to figure that one out. Gunner I think is clear since the ensuing phase post said that Mordred visited someone else that night after making the kill, but I don't know how much I trust that.

I'd really like to win with the town, so please do your best to lynch scum rather than me.
 
Assuming jd is telling the truth (and I have no reason to doubt him), GP is cleared 100% since Mordred did kill someone at night? Following the same logic, I was roleblocked the night before that but Ewery still died. So I can't be Mordred either? I also went back and checked and saw that night 5, gunner was roleblocked, and so she could not have been Mordred either (since Mars died) and that was the first night where Mordred was the only mafia left.

So does this leave just Naku unaccounted for? The possibility is if Wiz/Merlin/GM doesn't count the mafia nightkill as a roleblock-able action?
 
I have never fired it. I remember a few phases ago Johnny (I believe?) wanted me to fire it at someone. I believe we went back and forth on the chances and such of it turning out poorly. I was going to fire it, but I wanted one final confirmation from Johnny (again, I think it was Johnny whom I was discussing it with) if I should shoot or not. Then the day ended before he responded, so I never shot.

edit: So I just counted, it's 4 innos, 1 mafia and 1 half-and-half. So if my gun is fabbed and I die - it'll confirm gp's scumminess. But I also don't want to die when we're so close to winning. ): I did have a real vest just a few days prior, but since gp is mordred he could quite easily have swapped my armour on me too. :|
 
Bard... that post is like 90% gibberish I'm fairly certain. You're clearing people with 100% certainty based on vague hints from the phase post. Although to be fair, I slept like shit the other night to maybe I'm missing something there? How is Gunner clear because Mordred did something else? It never says that Mordred's action was a success. As for Kyle - you have what evidence for his innocence exactly?

I'd also like to point out that I'm the only one of us who has actually been a consistently active participant of the game. I've been pushing for discussion, investigation and lynching whilst everyone else was keen to sit idly by and let the mafia do as they pleased. If I was mafia, why wouldn't I just let you guys play badly?

Honestly Bard, if you weren't a confirmed innocent I'd be scumreading your ass so hard right now. Instead however, I'm going to vote for Gunner. It's either her or Kyle and we can afford to lynch the wrong one today anyway.

[Lynch] Gunner

Also, since you were all so desperate to hear what my ring does and we're probably going to win one way or the other - even if for some reason you're stupid enough to lynch me - it turned me into a bomb. That's why I didn't reveal what it does, because I was hoping the mafia would want to take out whoever got powered up and visit me. Apparently me outing just dissuaded them instead though. Oops. If you want proof, the ring from the series is described as giving the wielder the power to emit blindingly bright light and scorching heat - like a bomb.

I don't know what else to say there except I'm a little offended you think I'd be stupid enough to fab and kill the same person.

Edit: Also Mordred probably stopped giving out vests when our BS died lol. The reason that it was eerily quiet was probably because only one person did anything at night and there's hardly any of us left.

Except we, the town, can not afford a mislynch. Since you can get a nightkill after a mislynch, the mafia will have 2 and the town will have 2. Additionally, Bard cleared Gunner via jd's claim. Try to read the entire post again :d

And Bard, I know it's the only way to 100% guarantee for the town to win from your perspective but understand I'm guaranteeing myself to lose the game (since I'll die). I have no intention of killing myself so late in the game when victory is right there with a pretty simple lynch. :/
 
I think it's an entirely different situation with the only similarity being a choice between myself and another player, lol.

Nevertheless, we have like 40 something hours to deliberate, and I want to go to bed. So if you guys have any solid reasoning/proof to show that both my gun and my vest are not sabotaged then I will fire at GP. But seeing as how many nights it's been known that I had both a real gun and vest, and that GP has been active the entire game, I don't see him missing the opportunity.

I do know I got the gun n0 and vest on n3, and a fake gun was given to nani on n1 yes? GP was also roleblocked on n7. So we would need to know what he did on nights 2,3,4, 5 and 6?

edit:

Additionally (even though I think it's been said already):
July 28th 2016, Entry 16:

As the sun came up, Abby was found dead. The night seemed eerily quiet.

~ Merlin

Pretty sure this is referring to the fact that mordred got roleblocked here. Guess what, that was the night GP was targeted by jd. If you seriously want to lynch me for not wanting to kill myself for you Bard, then you only have yourself to blame for ignoring how likely it is (from your perspective, since from mine its 100% lol) that GP is scum. :P

1. Stop referring to me as the mafia when I'm innocent. It's either you or Gunner and that's painfully obvious.

2. Actually that's completely my bad, I'm still treating JD as 100% town. What I said stands though assuming he does fully intend to win with town and going by his actions so far I see no real reason to doubt that.

And Bard, I know it's the only way to 100% guarantee for the town to win from your perspective but understand I'm guaranteeing myself to lose the game (since I'll die). I have no intention of killing myself so late in the game when victory is right there with a pretty simple lynch. :/

Honestly, if I were you I wouldn't shoot either. But you could so easily be Mordred and not actually have a gun at all right now. It would not be the first time a mafia has tried that. I still think it's more likely it's Gunner though.

I also need to check with Wiz because even if you lynch me today you can probably still win although you'll cease to deserve to imo but I'm not totally sure if I only blow up on a night kill or if it's any form of death.
 
tbh threatening a bomb is in play sounds real scum tbh

idek how you keep on pointing at me when im already cleared though

How are you cleared?
Seriously?
Because you were role blocked? There is nothing to suggest Mordred actually gave a fake vest or gun that night is there? Just that you (or Kyle)/Mordred visited someone else.

I am claiming a bomb because that's what I've got.

Not to mention, gimmepie, Johnny's insistence that Ullion use his gun is a strong indicator that, in fact, Ullion was in possession of a gun, and Johnny gave it to him.

Which clears him how?
Johnny had no way to know if he was innocent or not.

Good grief you people.
If you're going to mislynch me and least do it with logic that makes sense. I hope for your sakes that I don't explode from a lynch I shouldn't and that JD is feeling friendly.
 
Dammit. It just had to come down to the pros, didn't it?

Gunner, having been roleblocked on N5, couldn't have visited someone else. That's how he's cleared.


I would argue some semantics on this one. We don't know if Wiz treats a blocked NA as a visit or not. It's highly possible that you're still visiting the player even if the action doesn't go through. I would agree that it certainly helps Gunner's case though.

And gimmepie, you're quite right that Ullion having a gun doesn't clear him; however, what mafia would out their gun the second they get it? It was quite literally the second post of the game.

I have done that and would do it again. It's a really easy way of appearing townsided and certainly not beyond Kyle's ability to pull off.

...wait... Abby was guaranteed to have a vest. Question is, when was she de-vested? I'll look into that one through the re-read. Moving on.

If I were Mordred (spoiler alert: I'm not), I'd have immediately made that switch the night following the reveal.

Wicked joined my on the drewwagon... interesting in hindsight. gimmepie rejects the drewwagon. Ullion hesitates to lynch drewbie.

Of course I rejected it, it was fucking stupid lol.

D3: No confirmation of Mordred's Night Action. Ullion's gun may have been fabbed.

Ullion outs as a citizen. Ullion also continues to assert that his gun is fake.

Common mafia tactic: Don't give out a fake gun and then claim you got one.

I'm a little confused by this post gimmepie made:



I don't know what he means when he refers to the whole Abby thing. The random vote on Johnny is interesting. Wicked also mentions gimmepie in his post:



Not really much to work with here, but it is something.

I was probably referencing my misread on her since I scumread her really hard in the early game. I "random voted" Johnny because I had a gut feeling he was scum but couldn't find any solid evidence. As it turns out, I was wrong again.

Gotta admit that it really sucks when a mafia player was agreeing with me. My best guess is that he thought that Johnny was a threat and wanted him gone whilst I was proving more useful to the mafia than anything at that point because I was consistently wrong with my reads

Ullion reaffirms the decision to have Nani fire her gun and rejects the drewwagon. gimmepie also rejects it.

Doesn't make him town - it means he didn't want the fool to win.
Once again, of course I rejected the drewwagon. It was really stupid.

Ullion and gimmepie both hop on the Killuawagon at about the same time with roughly the same logic. gimmepie parrots Ullion a bit.

I agreed with him, I didn't parrot.

Ullion calls for role reveal of Killua - a bit late for that, but better than gimmepie.

ngl I don't even remember this. I do remember switching to the Killwagon to prevent a drewbie lynch though.

D4: Here we have confirmation that Mordred fab vested the night kill target. At this point, it's highly likely that the mafia has stopped handing out fake guns.

Ullion concludes that mafia doesn't have a gun because they would've shot Bard. I think he forgot that guns have a 50/50 chance of a reveal or he's pretending to forget. gimmepie points that fact out. gimmepie also pushes at the people who went on the Killwagon. Ullion follows along, points out Johnny started it, and defends the Killwagon. gimmepie scumreads Johnny.

Likely.
Very likely (In reference to the bold part). Also aother common mafia move in fab games. Notice how I'm the one being pro-active in all this whilst Kyle occasionally comes in with statements that are really easy for the mafia to make. Meanwhile I'm just trying to make reads.


Also, Wicked defended gimmepie. Here's the quote:



It's a black mark on gimmepie's innocence right here.

Can't argue with that but it wouldn't be the first time a mafia defended a townie.

gimmepie scumreads Johnny, townreads Naku, and compiles a huge list of people who haven't contributed much - Wicked's on it but it's a long list and what mafia wouldn't lightly scumread an imminent mafia lynch target to defend themselves? Also scumreads Abby. Wicked also pursues Johnny.

It was an accurate list. Not my fault the game has been full of people not doing anything. Naku and Gunner still aren't really doing anything. Are you sure I scumread Abby again? Jesus, how does she always look that suss? As for Wiicked going after Johnny, see my previous point.

And Wicked AGAIN defends gimmepie here.

Go figure the maf only starts causing me trouble once they're dead. Maybe he thought defending me would make him come over as innocent? At that point only Johnny was scumreading me - and with terrible logic behind the read - so I guess he figured it was a good move? Or he really wanted Johnny gone. I dunno. If it were me in his shoes I'd have just let things play out.


gimmepie makes a slightly harder scumread on Wicked - interesting - and Ullion both points out the fabbing vests to keep townies unvested and quickly hops on the Wickedwagon.

I was right.
Also I pointed out the vesting thing long before Kyle did.

gimmepie gives another scumread on Desi as the Wickedwagon begins to build momentum.

Also of note: gimmepie successfully turned the Wickedwagon around.

I was scumreading both of them. Hard. I was also a bit hesitant on Alex though due to how wrong my previous scumreads had been with him being among the earlier reads.
Don't try and make that out to be a situation it wasn't - I didn't defend either of them.

D5: Johnny received a fake vest.

Hold it! Ewery1 got a gun today... but he wouldn't have gotten a message if the guns were switched out - Johnny targeted him that night. And Ewery1 got his first gun... I can't find his first gun claim, but it wasn't on Day Three, during the unconfirmed Mordred action. Odds are both of his guns were clean... what irony. However, it is possible that Mordred fabbed him on N2.

Or alternatively, Mordred gunned Ewery a second time in a row believing that he'd think it was a real gun from Johnny (with Johnny too dead to confirm anything) and shoot.

gimmepie points out a boatload of facts and asks for people to talk.

WOW
Almost like I'm townsided or something! ...oh wait, I am.

Don't you think itd be just a bit weird for me as a mafia to be drawing all that attention to myself and also being the only one pushing people to actually look for mafia. Meanwhile Kyle posted the occasional bit of info (that would have been easy to know as maf) and Gunner was skating through doing literally fuck all.

Ullion scumreads and votes for Wicked. gimmepie hops aboard the ETwagon. Wicked gets killed by Jade.

Go figure, I'd actually been right about Wiicked.
I guess 1/5 reads isn't so bad?

D6: Ewery1 got a vest. Perhaps fake? Perhaps real?

I'd guess fake.

gimmepie outs his ring, and also says this:



Interesting thought there gimmepie, just what I was thinking. It's an entirely logical move, since Mars couldn't possibly have a vest. Up to this point, Mordred fabbed everyone he killed to check for vests, but not that night. Gee, I wonder how you came to that conclusion so quickly?

Because I have a brain, dear Bard. If you actually stop and do some critical thinking, it's not that hard to work that out. According to you, you came to the same conclusion.

gimmepie scumreads gunner. Ullion scumreads ET and defends gunner. gimmepie switches based on Ullion's logic.

The question here is "did I follow the maf or follow the town off the maf?"

D7: Ewery1 dies. If D6 Vest was real, Mordred had to visit him on N6 in addition to the kill, clearing Ullion.

I'm pretty sure it wasn't but neither of us really have any evidence on that one. It wouldn't have been a bad move to have fabbed Ewery in an attempt to get him to shoot that gun.

Ullion scumreads jd and NightKrow.

gimmepie votes for NightKrow.

jd's role was painfully obvious and tbh it seemed highly likely Krow was the Mysterious Woman if not Mordred going by her behaviour. She was hardly saying anything but obviously watching the game.

And that brings us to today.

Ah yes, the day that we lynch the most helpful town player based on coincidences and the shaky logic of a raving mad dragon who has barely even been a part of the game. Sounds like a good idea guys!


Here is my conclusion:

Ullion's gun may yet be unfabbed, since there are only two potential points for that to happen. However, I cannot prove that with certainty. What is most damning here is 1: Wicked's defense of gimmepie, 2: Ullion scumreading Wicked and 3: gimmepie getting Desi lynched instead of Wicked.

After analyzing literally every post in the game, I conclude that gimmepie's behavior and the synergy between gimmepie and Wicked, in addition to cross-referencing phase post information and Gawain's reveal, make him the most probable Mordred.

[Kill] gimmepie

This is my final answer. What say you all?

and sorry for the EXTREMELY long post, but it's the last day and we're at MYLO, no holding back

I already responded to all the points in your conclusion in this post, not repeating myself again.
As for what I say. I say honestly, if JD does side with you like he claims it doesn't really matter that I'm going to get lynched. Of course, if you lynch me and he decides to stab you in the back you're screwed.

As for the actual mafia. I'm still torn between Kyle and Gunner. Kyle makes way more sense looking back through all that, but Gunner's eagerness to lynch me + lack of any actual contribution the whole game makes me weary of changing my vote.

I'd like to hear from Kyle the most of everyone atm, but it's highly likely he'll vote me even if he is innocent.
