Hot Potato Mafia - Game Over

PJosarian2 · Post Post #661 (ISO) » Thu Aug 07, 2008 1:37 pm

After all that blood and gore, everyone decides, quite reasonably, to take a nap right there in the factory, where they can keep an eye on everyone else. Or, where they would have been able to keep an eye on everyone else, if they hadn't all been sleeping. Ok, so it wasn't a perfect plan.

One of the members of the town does not wake up. Several people yesterday had been killed by potatoes, so you wouldn't think anything would surprise you anymore, but as it turns out, you were wrong. Battle Mage died silently in his sleep, victim to what appears to be one old, stale french fry, which was somehow stabbed through his chest and into his heart. Well, they always said those things would kill you.

As you systematically loot his belongings (because, hey, what are co-workers for?) you discover that this man, who had worked side by side with many of you for years, had apparently been pilfering potatoes from the factory all along! Gasp! That being said, there's no reason to suspect him of murder, and you quickly come to the conclusion that

Battle Mage(Butterfingers) was a pro-town potato thief.

Also, when you wake up, several members of the town suddenly discover that they are holding hot potatoes. Ouch! Those things are hot!

CoheedCambria09 is holding a Baked Russet potato.

kuribo is holding an Instant Potato.

Dripping Goofball is holding a Yellow Potato.

And M4yhem is holding a Yam.

It is now day 2.

What the? The four scummiest people (except armlx, maybe) are the first four killed and they were all town?

Baked Russet Potato... we had that yesterday, right?

Im guessing the instant potato might be a one toss kill?

Porochaz · Post Post #664 (ISO) » Thu Aug 07, 2008 2:06 pm

im guessing the yam is totally different... considering its not actually a potato

So I have a potato that we know(or really hope we know) kills on the eigth toss, so suggestions?

I say I should pick up where I left off yesterday.

Use a Trebuchet to toss the Instant Potato at TSS

Oo-wee, I have a potato!

Knuckle-ball yellow potato at TSS

Instant potato to Luigi

Yellow potato to Kuribo

DGB, I understand kuribo's OMGUS, but why you?

Luigi catches the instant potato. He gets ready to throw it to someone else, but the stuff seems stuck to his hands.

"Man, I hate this instant potato crap...wait...what's that sound..."

KA-BOOM!

Luigi Gangsta: Mafia Godfather

Well, that makes me feel pretty good about kuribo. (Yeah, yeah, WIFOM, whatever)

Can't see TSS nuking off his own Godfather, that'd just be stupid. Let's get some discussion outta this guy, though.

Slam dunk Yellow Potato on Wizardguy's head.

You wouldn't happen to mean Wizardcat would you?

I scanned Luigi Gangsta's posts for possible connections, but all I've got is a potato throw to DBE, which makes me think DBE has a slightly smaller chance of being LG's partner (although it's still in the early stages of potato tossing, when explosion isn't to be expected).

Then there's this, after Skruffs' death:

Luigi Gangsta wrote:I'm not sure we should be counting that potato kill as a scum tell

Maybe trying to defend the player who threw the potato to Skruffs (q21).

the silent speaker wrote:Riceballtail and Luigi Gangsta are kuribo's scum partners. This should be obvious to anyone with eyes.
I think this is a rather strong allegation so early in the game, and with no supporting evidence? What are you getting at? Do you actually believe that?

And this reaction makes me think that TSS was right on at least one part, meaning that I think either RBT or kuribo is partners with LG.

Everything else is just noise or game theory.

TSS was the first one to openly build a case against kuribo. That seriously implies that they weren't scum together.

I'm pretty certain that the only way you could reach the conclusion of TSS and I being scum together is if you live IN THE BIZARRO WORLD.

Or if you play on a site where bussing happens often.

QFT.

I dont like the implications Kurbio made saying he couldn't possibly be TSS's partner.

WIFOM!

I didn't say "couldn't possibly,"

As I've stated in many other games on this site, I don't like the mentality that "just because it DOES happen, one should assume it is ALWAYS THE CASE." Nor do I like the meta that "The opposite of how things appear to be are always the way it is."

DarlaBlueEyes · Post Post #684 (ISO) » Fri Aug 08, 2008 7:39 am

Still WIFOM.

the WIFOM will make you crazy it will.

kuribo · Post Post #685 (ISO) » Fri Aug 08, 2008 7:42 am

Everytime someone calls out "WIFOM" out of context, baby Jesus dies.
