Yeah my macho cop was unprotectable grr. Thanks for the try though Quad :) And why were you Mafia trying to kill me day 1 as well as 2?? Meanies. Don't worry though, Typhoon also failed to send in a night action for us Mafia back in GM3. :P
@Vitek, and re: the breadcrumb, I figured it would get me caught, but as it was my first cop one I wanted to do one of the more common bresadcrumbs. Usually when an experienced player flips cop after D2 (ie they probably got at least one investigation off and got to talk about it), you go back and look for breadcrumbs in their posts, especially in their first few posts of D2. This was my breadcrumb, which may not be formatted well:
My first post of Day 2 (
#249):
jesskitten: Very interesting selection.
I wonder why they picked him.
Of all the townies to pick from, wasn't keeping him alive a huge case of wifom?
Looking back, one wonders if maybe they latched onto fexen's idea that he was fake-claiming miller to hide a stronger power role or something.
A jester wouldn't even have had a threat to them - it's not like they lose if he was a jester and gets lynched/wins, so if that was the main reason they picked him it would be rather selfish, so i doubt it.
That and counterproductive for them, because as a claimed miller, town would have had to lynch him sooner or later.
Or else lylo would be incredibly wifomy (and mafia of course would have to get to, and win, some form of lylo to win the game).
Robb being killed makes no sense to me, unless they thought he was hiding a pr, because even his vote at the end of the day was on fexen (where mine would have been too if i were around - sorry fexen! :
X)
I think my vote is going back where it was at the end of the last day, as re-reading it during night doesn't make him look any less scummy to me.
So: vote: orryyrro
Strange that two of the three major wagons yesterday are already dead, though.
Considering from a metagame sense if orry is scum, mafia just killed all the other competing wagons from near the end of the last day, so naturally he'd get a lot of attention at the start of this day.
Unlikely that really means anything as that makes him no less likely (or more likely) to be
Mafia, though, except they got rid of his 'buffer' (as well as a big headache for us town!).
Bolded letters -> ViolatorX is Scum
However be aware that breadcrumbs are dangerous for town, due to 2 things:
a) When you're known to do it, Mafia often look for it as well, so it can be dangerous because if it's too easily found, Mafia can detect a cop/doc and killed it. Apparently this was not the case here though, but still.. Sometimes breadcrumbs are just there so you can "prove" later in lylo that you did do it when you said you did it, but they're not meant to be easily findable.
b) Mafia do it sometimes too to start to set up fakeclaims. For example! Look at the post just before mine by Typhoon (
#248):
Typhoon45: Let's take a look at what happened:
Everyone "knew" that Robbeasy was a miller.
Then, someone suggested that he may have been a jester.
So now, we know that he was telling the truth, and that this jester crap is all a load.
Logically, we have to assume that this will be the same for
everyone in the game, not just Robbeasy, who claims.
You guys have to see how this is going to tear the town apart!
Now that one has gone, (NK'd), can we just drop it once and for all?
Can't we assume that the mafia panicked when they heard "jester" and went from there?
How would
you have reacted if you had heard it?
This is a very obvious outcome to a very illogical problem.
All of our work will have been for nothing if we can't band together and avoid this crap happening again.
Love they way they went for it, though - maybe we could use this to our advantage?
Even if they had a
real reason, it still came out this way.
Running to an age old idea to avoid a loss.
Of all of the things that have been suggested so far, I would agree with nMillar, and say that the Mafia is inexperienced.
There isn't really anything else to go on right now.
However, this could change at any opportunity, so let's keep an eye out.
Bolded letters -> Lets lynch Taleroth
Note he didn't bother with not putting capital letters in the middle of sentences or whatever too, same idea, slightly different technique. That was an awesome coincidence Typhoon. That + the fact that Taleroth later claimed to kill Robb after being pressed by Typhoon, had convinced me by the end of D2 that Typhoon was a tracker or watcher and caught Tale in action. Although I felt Tale was town anyway. I tried to start a first letter of each post conversation with him but he never picked up on it. :P (I think my next post spelled out "Are you cop too" or something.)
