It was quickly removed under Quaetams orders, that little slip would fuck things up a bit too much.

So this kinda tells me there might be a moderator in the mafia...

At least it got removed, doesn't seem like any damage was done.

Also, just know that at some point we may have to off a someone in the mafia. Not now, and maybe not so soon since there's only been one forumer, one avalanchia, and one unknown. I say this cause I don't want any side gain a big of an advantage, but right now, the mafia is not my concern.

[Weldar]

Oh don't you worry about that smashbro. I can't tell you everything but as long as I'm alive the maifa should be no problem at all no matter how strong they get. The more of them there are alive as the endgame approaches the better things are for us, provided I survive that is.

[smashbro]

I though about something while I was gone.

Blue Madness could have done it. He's not playing.

I'm pretty sure you can delete your own posts as well if no-one has posted after you. From what I gather the whole thing happened pretty quickly so I imagine that's what happened. Really though the whole thing isn't that important, I'm guessing no-one saw it since I imagine they would have said something about it yesterday.

[smashbro]

Yeahh..... That's true too. And I though I was onto something. If I was, you saved it.

[Weldar]

Alright things seem to be going pretty smoothly so far, I'm pretty happy with how all of this is unfolding.

[smashbro]

I agree. Seems the heat will be on Raya tomorrow too. And I'm thinking that a fellow mafian has to go soon. I don't know whose who, so trying to take one out will be tough for me. I'm hoping that Raya is a troll/mafia.

[Weldar]

Eh I could see it going either way with Raya, Ansem was a third party yes but he could have been lying about his aims. Ultimately lynching Ansem told us almost nothing, exactly as I had hoped it would.

And don't worry about it smashbro right now we've got one mafian who's looking like they could die soon but even if they don't like I said I can still handle the end game just fine if the mafia are still going strong. I've still got a few tricks up my sleeve.

[smashbro]

Well, I think you might be doomed, dude. Unless we can get others to think Raya is lying.

Damn, you guys should have targeted her... unless you did and your plans were thwarted...

Also, I think this guarantees that I can not recruit Raya. She couldn't recruit me. (Edit: Correction, I probably can recruit her, I read the post wrong at first in the game thread.)


I need to come up with an excuse as to why I didn't get recruited. I could go with the linked lover roles, one being townie and the other mafia. You would be my lover (giggity) and mafia, if others believe that to are mafia, and if you die, I would just say that I can't win. But I would just recruit someone else. But if I go with the lover lie, then relay my plan to the mafians so they know what's up.

But I'm hoping that Avalanche puts up a fight. I am actually certain that he is mafia now, so if you die, I will manipulate him, which would also keep me settled in with the mafia.

I'm just planning ahead for the worst case scenario. And remember, even if you die, you still win if I win in the end.

[Weldar]

Right I've been thinking about this smashbro. If you have to maybe you should claim the power you have, creating a lover style bond between yourself and someone else. Recruiting you failed since you were already an a relationship. Tomorrow you can claim you didn't die because you'd liked yourself with a hostile role or something like that, I dunno.

Now today I probably will die. I'll try defend myself a bit but once it becomes clear that isn't going to work I'll set the stage for my death. I'll try and convince the mafia not to kill Raya just yet, I'll also see if I can entice her into wanting to contact me. If I gotta claim I'll say I'm Raya and a 3rd party. However being Raya I can't reveal the truth about my goals while I'm still alive. I'll say I'm moderately dangerous but totally neutral and technically cabaple of winning alongside anybody here. Most of it's true to an extent.

If I do die I say try and go for Raya as soon as the night falls anyway. Even if she dies by morning you may be able to get some interesting information out of her and if you're lucky it will change part of how her role will be revealed on death. If both her and I flip as puppets or something it's sure to fuck some heads. Once she's gone try and snag yourself a mafia again.

Or instead I could say that i don't die if my lover dies but I just become a stale player--I'm alive but can't win. This could also give me an excuse to be inactive.

That or go with the linked survivor role. And I could just go ahead and vote you off saying you are not useful... then again that may seem suspicious. Or incorporate the two plans where I have one person to be linked with but can still win by surviving if my linked partner dies.

I'll decided after I see how this all plays out when I get home later today.


You know, I was hoping someone in the mafia would eat it soon, but not you.

[smashbro]

Quaetam, what would Weldar's alignment be revealed as on death? Keeping with the original and keep with mafia, or something else? Cause if it's something else, I'm probably screwed after today.

[smashbro]

With Snake's recent post, there's a chance that I may be able to post denying not being a townie. So far the consensus is that what Raya claims is shaky, and if I were to claim any survivor role latch onto you, it would seal your fate.

So it's either wait it out and see if we both can live, or I screw you over by basically supporting Raya's claims. The latter, is actually kinda part of my role, but I don't think the rest of the mafia would like that.

I could answer that question myself but I don't think I'm allowed to.

As for what to do, I'm not too sure yet I'm already running late for school so I can't post yet but I just might be able to survive today.

I asked over steam. "Original alignment would be revealed," he said.

And I think I'll post tomorrow, my time. Need to gauge what everyone is thinking. If I do have to throw you under the bus, try to convince the mafia that I am still helpful to them.
