Мафия 22. Corpus Delicti.

Ta Kotoraya..., hello! I see you.

Will you be able to attend the final vote count today?

So, you giants of thought believe that in reality, everything is not as obvious and simple as it seemed at first glance? That right now we'll accuse the wrong person, and then scratch our heads and say: "Oops!"? Come on, say something! Spill the beans.

He's already revealed himself as a regular civilian.

And he doesn't really have a choice. He's blocked, all the town roles have been eliminated. Only the journalist hasn't been eliminated by the Mafia.

But we don't have room for error.
We'll proceed based on the current situation. Werewolf, what do you think about Deriel?

So, you, giants of thought, believe that in reality, everything is far from as obvious and simple as it seemed at first glance?

Now I'm imagining two Houses standing at a blackboard and drawing out different scenarios with markers...

Wow, I just imagined two House characters standing at a blackboard and drawing out different scenarios with markers...

I haven't watched House. =)

But I did imagine two Noels playing Mafia against each other.)

Koteiko, please don't be silent.
Either admit you're a journalist, or that you're "Boris."

How do you explain the journalist's lack of action during your block?

I don't know. Perhaps there was an agreement in the mafia that the journalist would send his own night actions, but for some reason, he didn't, for example, he was offline longer than he intended.

For this, you need very smart mafia players, like Hosa and Deriel.

Judging by the current situation, our mafia players are not stupid. Well, or they're just lucky.

Koteiko, I haven't heard a single logical argument from you today, and that worries me much more than the night block. Especially since we just had a sad example with Azi...

Do you want my pseudo-scientific, vague arguments? Well. I find it rather strange that Deriel immediately identified you as a town member. On the first day, if I'm not mistaken. To speak with such confidence about an unknown player is quite strange, even if his behavior is perfect. Let's assume this is a team game. If you are 2 mafia, then there are probably a couple more among those who are voting to lynch me. One abstains from voting to be as if on the sidelines of the main group of comrades (or votes randomly, but I don't think Vis is mafia). Such advanced players as you and Deriel can pull off any trick, even intentionally not going as a journalist and waiting for the mentalist's block. Just for fun. The mafia can afford to have some fun when their numbers are almost equal to the town's. On the other hand, you are not very friendly with Deriel... in general, you have confused me.

Come on, use your brains a little, maybe we can lynch Deriel. ;)

That would be great, but I would prefer to lynch the suspiciously inactive TaKo first. The chance of support is higher.

Did you visit the exhibition of a local artist?

No, the working class doesn't have time for exhibitions. I was revealed, yes.

Let's assess the situation. Verwolf, what do you think of Deriel?

It's a shame you didn't watch House. :)
Deriel... Well, what can I say? I had one experience playing with Deriel, where he received a well-deserved modkill on the third day. He was a mafia member back then. Now, he's something completely different: active, politically astute. In terms of connections that tarnish him... Ugh, sorry, I got sidetracked.
In short, he's just like everyone else, neither better nor worse. What's up?
Yes, I just read Koteyka's post, and I also remembered that Deriel categorically stated that you, Medzh, are a mirror. That also caught my eye.

And in general.
I probably won't wait for the final vote, so I'm changing my vote from red to blue:
Koteyka
I want to sleep peacefully at night, without my conscience nagging me.
P.S. And yes, I would also vote TaKo red.

Veg, could you add the beginning of the game to your signature?

Werewolf, I'm with you. As long as Koteiko is blue, and no new Mafia members appear, I'll revote for someone who is red.

TaKo arrived, didn't read the thread: she opened the thread, a 15-minute session passed, and she logged out.

I like that it's already a draw between Koteiko and the silent ones...

Guys, why aren't you defending me? Did you abandon me?(((

Guys, we're with you, look!

2 hours... I was gone for 2 hours, and they're already trying to lynch me. Well, that's cool. Are you guys trying to think in reverse? Like, I'm mafia, I killed someone, and I told Jury not to go anywhere? *wide smile* And Koteyko was exposed as a town member, and you believe him? Brilliant... The more I understand how the minds of the players work, the more shocked I become. But... Madge, you're right. The main thing is to stick to your point of view and ignore logic! I think you're looking for hidden pitfalls where there aren't any and you want to completely destroy the town. By the way, Madge, you were a bit hasty in putting me next to Hos. You both have a lot of experience, and I'm still getting confused about small things (like blood mana after 10 turns)... But when the game is enjoyable, it sometimes makes you think. I have a feeling that the voting is going so smoothly because even the mafia has to adapt - Kotey's behavior is a dead giveaway. Otherwise, if the mafia is so smart, we don't stand a chance anyway.

Well, we'll have to piece together a flimsy argument that Koteyko isn't mafia.
1) He was reading the newspaper and just two minutes later replied to my message with a link to it (that he was blocked by the cop based on the description, not because of an incomplete ND).
2) Nobody is defending him!!! Just like Azi. The day has passed — 5 six votes against him. Is that normal? Are all the mafia players in hiding, like in Hostor's joke? They would have at least voted against him themselves since he's already hanging. Just to clear their own names by doing so.

What do you think of this reasoning?

Perhaps the moderators have already voted.

I was gone for 2 hours... and they're already suggesting they hang me. Well, that's cool.

Deriel, don't jump to conclusions! No one is going to hang you yet (NOT yet!).

Damn, I wrote a long post, and it disappeared! :(((( I'll write it again now.

Wait for it =)

Ultimately, the corrections in the newspaper don't change anything about the situation in the Koteyka world + we definitely know that the ND journal was sent. What's there to think about?

But I have my doubts... ;)
