I kept trying to drum up conversation to get things moving but with Meng totally MIA and Modem on to me, my options were really dwindling.

Thankfully Mose broke the deadlock. I was considering a vote on KrisN just to muddy the water.

I will not be able to play the "umm..how does this work" card next time which may have been my best weapon..lol

Kristopher posted : That's the catch. The longer a Lynch or Lose lasts, the easier it is to pinpoint the mafia. The votes that sat on modem (or vote, even with ekster's miscount), had me leaning towards him being town. Men's inactivity, coupled with the push on him, showed me he was most likely town. I was torn between you, KrisN, and Protus, but in the end, I figured you and KrisN. If it would have dragged on, or Men had more of an active role, I think one of the two of you would have been lynched. Most likely KrisN. Then you would have had to choose who to kill overnight (would have killed Modem, if I were you), and hope that you could convince the final party that Protus/Men was the other mafia.

As it turns out, you guys just flat out won. Men's inactivity, while beneficial for the town during the first 1/2 of the LoL, became quickly detrimental once Protus voted him.

This game seemed hard to play because of inactivity. I was going to be active no matter my role because it was my first game but as the game wore on, it did seem like it was getting obvious that I was mafia because KrisN and I were always trying to stir the pot.

Perceived strategy aside, I removed my vote based on your comments that activity can look suspicious. In the few games I lurked on, it seemed pretty universal that inactivity (as long as someone was getting lynched) was a good play for mafia since it kept them out of the spotlight.

With that in mind, when I had little else to go on, I looked for those that were totally MIA or very inactive and looked for anything I could find that was odd about them.

Modem's late game participation looks scummy to me based on how I'd probably play if I were in his shoes.

But, I am happy for now to sit and spin because I'd rather do nothing than lynch the wrong person and lose.

ekster missed my unvote before so:

A lone mafia in a lol won't just throw in a vote by himself if his partner is alive. Any pursuit of men is a distraction, as far as I'm concerned.

ProtusMose posted : Activity as an indicator of affiliation is hit or miss, but can be used in conjunction with anything from concrete evidence to a gut feeling to help form an opinion. When mafia are laying low, they won't be the first vote. They won't be the first to accuse someone of anything unless there's a blatant hole they can jump on. They vote on an L3 or L2 to avoid being the hammer. They wait until someone makes a point and then "Yeah, what about that!?" They still post occasionally to keep up pretenses, but you don't see their names 20 times on a page.

Modem's been lurking. He's not posting a lot, but he's still making appearances. That's sketchy at times. Men has been straight up absent. Completely dropping off the grid is conspicuous, so people don't normally do that.

Unvoting with only a little pressure on you is also conspicuous, but would be an odd move if it really was you and krisn. (Nice touch, drew.)

It just so happens it is you and dunga.

If it was you and modem, that'd be a horrible play and he'd never go along with it.

If it was you and men, he'd have given up the lay-low and hammered by now, unless you're waiting with baited breath for him to come out of whatever coma he's in and finish modem off.

The only other option are it's modem and men and modem's gotten really unlucky with an awol partner.

I am a noob at this and my be premature voting (I hope it does not turn out to be a recurring issue..LOL). Anyway. When I say confirms, I suppose it means it confirms that it is the best option I can find and with so little game experience, I am trying to find my way and root out the bad guys.

I might be contributing to the town downfall by acting too much on hunches but that is the only way for me to play with zero knowledge of tendencies of anyone.

I am a little concerned about you too with your bashing of me but I still think inactivity ~= scum. Maybe in later games I'll learn otherwise but that's how I am going to roll for now.

Excuse any typos or other crap a I am posting from my phone.

Vote Modem

Unfortunately it doesn't confirm anything, as our cop never (presumably) got any good investigations off before he was whacked. However, it's my best lead.

It all comes down to Meng--if he makes the wrong vote the game ends now. If he lynches the mafia, we'll be LoL again tomorrow.

I really can't get a good read on you since Drew doesn't have very strong meta signatures, and I'm not sure how much he's influencing you, but I am betting on the PM/Modem angle--one votes in each lynch, the other attempts to lurk through the game.

I mean, OOPS, I should have PM'd this since Dunga and I are clearly the mafia.
