Posts from Mafia 105. Raid of the Damned

Hmm, I don't even know. It seems like the situation with Ment is ambiguous, but there are reasons to believe him, so let's go with execute Yashur.

Well, today is the last day when I have almost no time, now I will probably play more actively.

Execute Yashur - 9 votes (Ment, Plesen, Nebo, Shaman, Gur, Heroist, Neyra, Master, Fragment).
Execute Ment - 2 votes (Yashur, Revan).

6 votes are needed for the execution.

Yashur was still upset about his plan. He felt that his ally was wrong, that it actually made sense to try to find more helpers... This was his downfall. When he tried to persuade Beleara to join the conspiracy, she caused a scandal that was overheard by Mealor, who was passing by. As soon as he heard the words that Yashur intended to agree to the demon's offer, he drew his sword and, without saying anything or listening to the unfortunate man's excuses, pierced him with his sword. And then, after the auto-resurrection took effect, he beheaded him with a precise swing of his weapon. Beleara, who was standing nearby and watching this, instinctively reached for her staff, but when Mealor looked at her, she stopped herself and simply nodded silently.

The fourth night begins!

Bryce and his companions were not at all disturbed by Yashur's death. Without saying a word to each other, they set out to carry out their plans as soon as night fell...

Night Four. About Demons and Rage.

[/CENTER]

He always considered himself a cultured and calm warrior, but members of his people periodically lose control when adrenaline overwhelms them. Therefore, instead of going to sleep, he took out his weapon and let out a loud battle cry, full of rage…

No less loud were the screams of horror that echoed in the morning. The first to be discovered was Gur. He died from terrible lacerated wounds, as if he had been attacked by some kind of monster. Many pitied the poor fellow, because even in such difficult times, he tried not to lose heart and was always happy to chat and cheer up his allies. And, of course, the leader was the most upset. Not far from Gur's body, they found the dead Revan, who died from similar wounds. And so, in one night, the raid lost two, perhaps, the most pleasant and interesting heroes to talk to. And, although Revan, in particular, somewhat intimidated with his mysteriousness and chaotic nature, he was still loved and appreciated for his always positive attitude and cute appearance. On the wall next to the corpses, some otherworldly symbols were burning, from which the mages were able to make out the words: "Eclipse. Expansion. All." Perhaps, in this way, the one who committed this atrocity decided to mock the heroes...

After that, no one had the strength to grieve and cry when, in the other half of the hall, they found the head of Heroist. Perhaps, the reason is that, unlike the other two deceased, he was not such a pleasant person to talk to, but still, it was a great loss. And the male part of the raid sighed sadly, because they never managed to have a proper conversation with him. "The Armenian born in Moscow on June 5th is to blame!" someone said, but no one was interested in his words…

Only Master remained cheerful after these events. And Ment also felt comfortable, because at night he was safe, under reliable supervision.

Living members of the raid:
1. Ment
3. Ple-Sen
7. Nebo
9. Fragment
10. Neyra Drake
11. KindShaman
13. MasteR

Fallen heroes:
2. Gur
4. Nefela
5. Zlobny Yashchur
6. Morning
8. Heroist
12. Azuchi

Yes, our ranks have thinned considerably. The only consolation is that there are probably no more than two Mafia members left.

So, who's the bad guy here? Come on, confess before I start adding Barbarians. I'll deal with whoever confesses to being the Mafia member.

For now, I'm randomly executing Fragment based on the vote.

Yes, gentlemen, for obvious reasons, I am declaring a double day!

Let's rejoice, have fun, celebrate, and discuss.

As I understand it, the newspaper doesn't reveal who was Mafia and who wasn't...
Okay, Gur was Alex. And everything is clear with him.
Revan was Ruby. And things are less clear with him, but yesterday I mostly saw Revan as peaceful. And the fact that he's Ruby again, rather confirms my hypothesis – it becomes clear why I was "croaking" for two nights in a row. Although, on the other hand, nothing would prevent a Mafia Revan from pretending to be a peaceful Ruby, but I wouldn't relax now, it's very likely that we have a 3-3-1 situation.
The clue for the serial killer is Eclipse. Extended. Allswell. And the wording is as if Tox is really mocking )
The Hero was Miranda. So congratulations, we don't have a single gunslinger yet.

From what I've seen, it seems like we're now focusing on stopping the "maniac" at all costs, just to prevent those "dirty mafias" from winning.
I'm going to relax and have fun today. I don't want to stress about the game at all. I'll only come back tomorrow, and then I'll decide how to vote. Happy upcoming holidays to everyone!

Yes, Heroist, as promised, wasn't very active and didn't comment on who killed the golem on the second night. Although today's description of the maniacal murder is somewhat different, and, judging by Bryce, Tox doesn't really diversify their methods, hmm... On the other hand, it's strange that if Heroist went to kill someone on the second night, he didn't seem to suspect anyone in particular on the first night.
By the way, the Orc used his ultimate ability. Could this indicate that he is actually a peaceful player? Or is he one of those who were afraid of being killed by the maniac? There weren't any defenses against him before.
Well, it's clear about Master and me.
Now I'll try to analyze each player.

What a night... Looks like the maniac used their ult. From what I gathered from the descriptions, Gur was Alex, Revan was Ruby, and Heroist was Miranda. That means the current score is 3-3-1. Not exactly great... However, Mealgor with the double voice is still alive, so there's still a chance. Today it is critically important to execute the mafia. Master, Nebo, Neyra — I suspect these three of being mafia, and Shaman of being the maniac.

I scoured all the clues on the wiki; the results aren't great, but I can summarize my findings. Basically, there are practically no mayors of cities starting with M who ruled for 16 or more years, other than Luzhkov. So most likely, that's where we need to dig. The only thing mentioned on his page for 1994 (16 years before resignation) is the establishment of Teleexpo. But I didn't really get anywhere from there. At the Nuremberg trials, Baldur von Schirach and Albert Speer were given 20 years. It's a dead end with the first one, but with the second, there are so many various links that I just gave up.

The clue for the maniac turned out funny — it ties to Gur very easily and quickly, but he couldn't have killed himself... :o Generally, I had more luck here; I found the following chain:

The Elder Scrolls Online - ZeniMax Online Studios - Mythic Entertainment - BioWare - Eclipse Engine

However, there's a problem with the feedback loop — you can go from ZeniMax to Mythic, but not back. Also, as for the words "Exp. Univ.", if they relate to this somehow, I don't understand how. Nevertheless, I still consider Shaman the maniac based on behavior.

As for Armenians born in Moscow on June 5 — I went through the wiki list of people born on that day (not all of them, of course; I only checked those with Armenian surnames) and found these two:

Both personalities are quite strange; I have no idea how to get from them to games.

Anyway, that's it. For now, my vote is — execute Master.

Oh my god, what's up with the links?

Okay, let's go in order of ~negative likelihood.
Shaman – I think he's a town member.
Mold – he has an alibi for the first night, and everything is clear here. I can tell you his exact role if needed; luckily, I suspect the mafia already knows it.
Nebos – he quite readily agreed to be executed yesterday, so he's either a town member or a mafia member who doesn't care who gets executed.
Fragment – he cast his vote at the end, yes. And overall, he's not very active. However, inactivity doesn't necessarily mean he's a negative role, at least not 100%.
Neyra – it's always difficult to judge her, unfortunately. But there are too many town members compared to her.
Master – he revealed his ignorance of the mafia's mechanics on the first day, and I was already thinking he doesn't play these kinds of games. But yesterday, I expected him to quickly grasp my thoughts (Nebok and Gur did, for example), but he took quite a while. On the other hand, would it have been worth it for him if he were a mafia member? It seems like Yashchur was going to be executed anyway. In general, he's also ambiguous.
It seems like we should execute a mafia member. And we can't waste time right now. So, I would like to see who votes how and who argues how. Neyra says she doesn't want to bother with the game, okay. But I would talk to everyone else.
Fragment, why do you suspect Master?

But in general, three clues pointing to Bryce... we should really do something about them.

Oh yes, Fragment, why are you so sure that Ruby wasn't a Mafia member?

They really need to do something about it.
