That was unexpected. Saitsu, if you’re lurking I’ll offer you the same advice that I offered Roman in my first game. Being unapologetic in your approach to lynching can lead to these mistakes happening. I was genuinely convinced that you were Mafia.
Instead, when approaching an interrogation like you did with GR try and stay impartial. Or at least, approach it in a way that won’t make you look suspicious to others. Other than that, thanks for playing an active and spirited game.
staying quiet in Night Phase
Hmm… I wonder who Saitsu’s talking about? I also have a number of guesses: Synonym, DarkGeneral, and myself. Both Synonym and DarkGeneral have been generally strong contributors, with a couple of questionable posts. Note that this isn’t necessarily cause for suspicion… when you make lots of posts and can’t edit them, it’s unreasonable to expect people to be 100% spot on.
As far as me, I try to be as open as possible to contribute as much as I can, while avoiding suspicion. I’m encouraging everyone to research and think independently, because I think it’s the best way to reflect that strategy. Good mafia play is about posting distracting, misleading, and inaccurate information in the thread and doing so in a non-obvious way. Getting everyone to think critically, and doing my own part in research and analysis, is what I see as the opposite of that and therefore the best civ tactics.
Wonder who the Medic should protect this night phase. Without the Pyro to spy check, it’ll be hard to know who is who and the Medic can accidentally save a Spy.
Pie. You know what? your name sounds delicious. I like your AV with your name, also. It’s like that dude is Homer Simpson’ing over some good ass pie.
Sorry, off topic there. Yeah, that last gasp. Who knows who he could have been talking about. We’ll just have to wait? :tup:
This tension…

Oh shit, son! Dem shots fired! Get on yo shit, Mafia! 
Night 2: Socialized Healthcare
The **Sniper **sat antsy in his bunk. He hadn’t fired his gun in days, and he was feeling mighty impatient. He snuck out of his bunk – trying to ignore the demoman furiously taming his own cyclops beneath the sheets – and stepped out down the hallways of 2Fort. He stopped momentarily, to gaze out the window. It was quiet out there – too quiet. He focused on, trying to find any sign of movement across the way.
“Did ze find anything?” said the Medic, walking down the hallway as well.
“No, nothing…” said the sniper, who suddenly paused. “What are you doing out of your bed this late, Medic?”
“Looking for you, az a matter of fact” said the Medic. “I think Saxton Hale is going to try to kill you tonight. So I’m here to help.”
The **sniper **raised an eyebrow. “I don’t believe you, mate” he said. “Why me?”
“It’s obvious, you’re our leader now. Losing you would be a big setback. So I’m here for your protection.” The **Medic **stepped closer. As he did, the **Sniper **grabbed his knife, and pushed him up against the wall, the blade at his throat. “Very clever, Spy. Unfortunately, I’m not falling for your tricks tonight.”
“Tricks? What Tricks?” The **Medic **Gulped. “Please, you’re making a big mistake. Let me protect you!”
“From what? An imaginary Saxton Hale?” sneered the Sniper. “Listen, Bloke, there’s nobody coming after me tonight, except you.”
“Oh, I don’t know about that” said Saxton Hale, emerging in the doorway behind the two men. He looked over, and saw the Medic. “What are you doing here?”
The Sniper looked backwards momentarily, before realizing the truth. He removed the knife from the **Medic’s **neck. “Sorry, Mate. Never can be too careful.”
The **Medic **rubbed his neck, bleeding a bit from the Snipers cut. “This is going to leave a scar, you fuhrer.” He looked up to Hale, brandishing his medigun.
“I’m here to protect against you, actually” said the Medic. “I knew you would come.”
**Saxton Hale **smirked. “Even with your precious Uber, you can’t stop my Australium wrench!” He raised a bright, golden wrench above his head.
“We’ll see about that! Medic, hit me, now!” The Sniper posed in a battle ready position, his outback blade ready to taste Saxton Hale’s blood.
The **Medic ** nodded, and hit **Synonym **right in the back. Only, not with his medigun… with a switchblade. **Synonym **closed his eyes in defeat.
“Of course… I’m a bloody Drongo.” He dropped to his knees, and fell to the ground. His vision started to fade, as he could hear the spy and Saxton Hale laughing, and congratulating each other on the kill.
He drifted off to darkness, a comforting place with no more worries. Standing before him was his dad.
“Father?” said the Sniper, “What are you doing here?”
“I’ve come to tell you, I accept who you are. I’m sorry I called you a crazed gunman. I know better now.”
“Dad… that’s all I’ve ever wanted from you…”
As he moved in for a hug, he felt himself yanked backwards, out of the peaceful scene, and into a more harsh reality.
As the red lights faded from around him, he noticed another in the room. The BLU sniper. He sighed.
“Hale?” said the Sniper.
“Yeah, Hale” replied the other Sniper.
Synonym has 12 hours to submit a last gasp
It is now Day 3. Day 3 will last 36 hours. Votes are due at 9:00 AM PST on friday, the 20th
Yeah… probably our best player. Figures. I await last gasp.
Well, fuck… #pleassbasedSynonym give us something to work with.
There goes the person I can have banters with.
Synonym, include a pep talk in your last gasp, 'tis not necessary though.
It’s Day 3 now, and we’re two wrong lynches from losing, if that’s not obvious yet.
And no, I’m not taking in the potential medic saves, I’m in a pessimistic mood today.
If there was anyone I’m hoping our medic was protecting, it was Synonym and his wall of texts.
Well, I suppose stepping it up is the proper phrase for my future actions.
That said, the current roster on the first page is quite amusing,
[details=Spoiler]Current Game RED Roster
Azure (Night 1 Kill: Red Scount) AUSSIE PUNCHED!

Synonym (Night 2 Mafia Kill: BLU Sniper)[/details]
I placed it in a spoiler just so you guys don’t read too much into it.
*…I’am extremely tight right now. In my opinion Synonym was our best Civ. Even in the event that he was mafia he was contributing more to the civ cause than anybody else, myself included. If we have any chance of winning the civs that we have left need to step up and contribute to fill the hole that Syn is leaving. Particularly @Mobius who seemed to contribute modestly on day 1 then his production curtailed.
I’m hoping that Syn’s last gasp will give us some leads, or strong reads. @Synonym don’t hold back in your last gasp. Even though you won’t be able to help as in life, you can surely help us in death.

*"If we have any chance of winning, the civs that we have left need to step up and contribute to fill the hole that Syn is leaving. "
A little extra grammar for clarification.*
Yep, losing Synonym sucks. Even worse, it’s going to be difficult to get a read on this day phase with so many wallflowers and potential threats. I still have on the top of my suspect list:
@Mobius indeed has slowed down in his contributions.
@GodotsRevenge is somewhere in the middle, and he and @DarkGeneral could be taking advantage of the multitude of wallflowers to fly under the radar if they are mafia.
This lynch has to count, and it sucks because it’s going to be so difficult. Some of you are hoping Syn’s last gasp will be some sort of revelation… I’m sure it will be insightful, but we can’t rely on it. Read for yourself, figure out what’s going on in this thread, and contribute.
My top two suspects are Manx and Neesa. We can still post a list of top suspects if you guys want… thoughts?
As a matter of fact, let’s turn up the heat right now.
Lynch: Manx.
I’m sure that they haven’t changed much, but if people have drastic changes in their lists, they should.
Synonym’s last gasp
I also fixed the mistake of listing him as BLU Sniper in the first post : P
