/Invitational 13: The battle of Yarmouk. Decisive victory!

Sorry for inactivity (surprised I wasn't prodded) - haven't had access since I last posted. Doesn't look like I missed much.

@chamber: why KK?

*chamber (2): Kublai Kahn, Rhinox
Kublai Khan (2): deathrowkitty, chamber
katsuki (2): Fishythefish, mith

not voting (1): katsuki

*would be deadline lynch

FYI...

Due to the deadline falling on easter, which is hardly ideal, deadline is when I wake up on tuesday (which is around this time, 8 days from now).

Of the 3 I'm happiest with a chamber lynch. Kats would be choice #2 but I still don't really think kats is scum. KK lynch would be pretty silly. Its possible both votes on KK are scum votes.

[Rhinox]

which means there probably isn't time for this:

@chamber: why KK?

Majority lynch would be better than apathetic deadline lynch.

[Kublai Khan]

If chamber is scum and DeathRowKitty isn't scum, then the third voter on me or katsuki would be scum for sure.

I'm still happy with a chamber lynch.

[Katsuki]

Happy April Fools!

Re: #2 scumread - Seriously? I was voting for you for a week, and happy as I am that it was a good lynch, I switched to Kitty because it was the best option at deadline, not because you had dropped back to #2.

I missed your vote for me while reading through.

What do you make of Chamber not wanting to lynch me? (or at least I read the intent as he wouldn't vote me to save himself)

I don't make too much of it really. Its consistent with what little opinion he's given about you all game, but that's it.

[Fishythefish]

Not keen on the possibility of a last minute KK lynch. Might not get on again before deadline. A chamber lynch will do.
VOTE: chamber

[Katsuki]

Also why do you still think I'm more likely town than scum rhinox?

[Katsuki]

Well I doubt you'll see this before deadline aynways.

Vote: Chamber

[DeathRowKitty]

Sorry, got lazy the past couple of days and didn't really check MS much. Kind of forgot deadline was sneaking up on us or I might have posted something the past couple of days, though I don't think anything I would have done would have made anything turn out differently today anyway.

Katsuki, if you're still here, teach me about this game. I feel like I'm missing something in my worldview. What is it?

[chamber]

I think I'm lynched and I was definitely town.

[Kublai Khan]

If you're town, then why are you consistently voting me?

[chamber]

You say really dumb things. I can't help myself.

With loud shrieks the muslim cavalry dived through the gap between its own infantry lines, flanking the Romans right wing. A shared effort between the infantry line and this cavalry charge was enough to send Vahan back for another day, this plan wouldn't work either.

Chamber, Constantine III, Roman prince and vanilla town was lynched day 3.

It is now day 4. With 6 alive it is 4 to lynch. Deadline is on the 23rd

[Fishythefish]

Boo.

VOTE: Katsuki

Kat cruised through Day 3, not doing anything because neither he nor his scumpartner was the number 1 lynch choice. He provided no content until I called him on it (and, to be fair, his exams ended). Then he made odd little prods at mith, and asked about townreads on him. Unlike anyone else in the game, as far as you can tell from the thread he hasn't even

noticed

that we lynched scum. This guy is not playing like a townie.

We're lynching Kat today. I'm not moving my vote. Spare yourselves two weeks of us not really doing anything and vote him with me now.

[Rhinox]

Well I've thought kats was town because I seem to remember kats lurking more and just vote hopping as town, but trying harder to make cases as scum. Kats play this game has fit how I expected town-kats to play. If I'm wrong it wouldn't be the first time I've read kats incorrectly. First thing that had me doubting my read is when kats didn't vote kitty on D2. I know the chamber lynch was coming up on deadline anyways but now there are 2 examples of kats not hesitating to hammer town, as well as an example of kats not hammering scum, in 3 similar situations.

So I think I'm OK with a kats lynch.

[Fishythefish]

Have you got links for that meta? Would be good to see if you think it's significant.

[Katsuki]

Yeah I'm probably going to be a giant distraction staying alive at this point.

Regarding the Chamber lynch, it was beyond saving so.

Vote: Katsuki

I was busy for the 3 weeks leading up to the finals. I can see why my lurking makes me look like scum, but it was out of my control.

[Rhinox]

Not many links, and probably not recent enough to where I should have given it as much consideration as I did, but I'll dig them up for you.

There was Team Mafia Almost Normal, which had the added meta benefit that kats and I also shared a QT. Kats scum here.
I also looked at Purified Mafia - kats town
and
Mafia Behind the Maiden - kats town

Before kats became less active in this game, I thought his play resembled the town examples more than the scum example.

[Katsuki]

I would've been far more manipulative this game if I were scum.

[Katsuki]

Anyways I would say it's worth looking into KK tomorrow. I'm sure Chamber had his reasons for suspecting KK.

[mith]

Grr, there is very little in Mafia that I hate more than WIFOMing myself over a self-vote.

Rhinox, I'd like your thoughts on DRK's posting at the end of day 3. (And then I'd like Fishy's, but Rhinox first.)
