Puella Magi Mafia Game Thread

[KamiKaze]

Okay, so now I've rested, got some food in me, took care of some things I needed to, and generally self-cared, I'm going to point fingers at Riki.

Let me start on what just happened. From here, I'll start from the beginning.

- I pitched the idea that we each roleclaim so we can spot the lie, specifically offering to go first if anyone else is uncomfortable.
- Boogie jumps in, claiming Bulletproof.
- I go next, flavorclaim Iroha Tamaki, ramble a bit about flavor (note that I was a major meguca fangirl back in the day and haven't been caught up on latest stuff in the franchise, so I was like "I dunno who she is but I'm her apparently, she looks cool, her deal sounds cool too"), share an image of her for kicks, then claim vanilla.
- Riki immediately claims vanilla as well.
- Dodd claims Commuter.
- MS already claimed vanilla beforehand.
- Dodd's like "three vanillas, wut?"
- Then Riki right away goes "IT'S KAMI, SHE RAMBLED ABOUT FLAVOR AND SHARED AN IMAGE, GET HER"???

It's just... even if it weren't me, it's a bit of a stretch, especially at this point? Like, it'd be one thing if I was on the hotseat to begin with and it was earlier on, but like, it's the final five, there's a ton of info out there already we could figure out a smarter lynch from, mass claiming was my idea to begin with, I was never in the hotseat until this point, and it's just... kinda weird to pull out that argument now, in my opinion. I also don't get a good feeling about the fact that, after two vanilla claims (MS and me), he immediately claims vanilla then points fingers based off stuff that's honestly a leap of logic?

I dunno. I'll have to dig through his post history a bit. Maybe he's misfiring + telling the truth about being vanilla townie, and I'm wrong.

Apologies for if I'm not making any sense right now. Again, work was stressful yesterday. XD

the only thing keeping me from voting riki right now is the fact that zetsu started a lynch on him, but while that makes me pretty sure he isn't mafia, that doesn't mean he can't be the serial killer

[Cactus]

i don't think that necessarily rules him out — i've seen that done in mafia games before near to the end; maf jumping on their own members to avoid suspicion. but it also might be smart to go that direction if only because kami presents a better argument v riki than riki does v kami.

i dunno, i'm suspicious af at all of you because like, *someone* has to be Spartacus.

[KamiKaze]

Plus, we still have an SK.

[Cactus]

So let me rephrase: someone has to be Spartacus and Spartacus' evil cousin.

[KamiKaze]

The Sparticus and the evil Sparticus from another dimension with a goatee.

[dmboogie]

but who's robbie rotten

[MethodicalSlacker]

Definitely agree that Kami's argument against Riki is a lot stronger than Riki's against Kami, and what Cactus brings up about the Zetsu lynch train faux-pas makes me feel good enough to, at this moment, put down a vote.

Vote: Riki

[Cactus]

*shrug*

When in Rome, I guess.

Vote: riki

Hope we're right, else we come really close to losing.

[dmboogie]

one more vote to hammer, three days left in the phase; im sorely tempted to just noscope riki now but it'd feel kinda hasty

[KamiKaze]

We could wait a bit to see if he says anything else, maybe, give him a bit of a window beforehand. If he doesn't, well...

[Riki]

I mean, I am the role I claim. In hindsight, my suspicions of Kami were more of a spur of the moment and less the result of a long-term read. In that light, I would like to go on record that I retract my suspicion.

That said, if I get lynched the game will be over for town. I cannot think of something, or someone, to cast aside your suspicions, so I would also like to have my brash nature and quick firing to be on the record for the next games. So you can see that this is nothing but coming from an earnest perspective of town.

Also the butler did it.

[Cactus]

Clue referenceeeeeee

[dmboogie]

riki is the butler confirmed

vote: riki

[Fenris]

That makes a lynch. Please cease posting and wait for results.
