Gone Postal Mafia - Game Over - Scum Win

[RedNihilist]

I mean, if you're town I'm sorry for your death and everything, but it's not like that those last posts you made could help in any way.

[Jack]

I know. Although Ham's case on me didn't really prove anything, it was pretty much impossible to counter.
I'm not sure why LMD didn't die today. He was the closest we had to confirmed scum.
Cursed pride dies tonight, without me to stop the kill. Listen to what he has to say.
LMD is the lynch tomorrow, and probably iso after that.
I doubt ham is scum. Looking back, while getting me to cloak him and then having him do nothing did help scum, I doubt he would have made that play early in the game if he was mafia.
I'm split on Wraith. If he fucks up big, yeah, lynch him.
Red is town.

[Iso]

why does everyone want to lynch me on a later Day
why aren't we lynching LMD

[Stardust]

Votecount!

Wraith223 (1): Lord_Mcdonalds
Lord_Mcdonalds (2): Jack, Iso
Jack (5): hamfactorial, RedNihilist, Wraith223, Dechs Kaison, Cursed_Pride

Not voting: ...

That's a lynch!




As the work day progresses, all eyes eventually turn to Jack...

"He claims he owns a dog... but isn't he a mailman?"
"Just look at the guy, he's dressed like a fuckin' hobo!"
"But, but, the American dream!!"

The votes are split, with one certain pony still unsure about Jack. "I don't think it's very nice to kill someone," says Cursed_Pride. "But he is dirtier than the rest of us... Umm... Umm... Umm... YOU ARE SPOILING MY PERFECT WORLD!!!!"

You all
look on in astonishment as Cursed_Pride flips the fuck out, trampling Jack to death with laser eyes for some reason. A quick search of his body reveals the following note...

Jack's Role PM

---

Jack, you are The Postman, Untargetable-Granter.
Let’s be honest here – that pony was probably a better actor than you. But that doesn’t change the fact that you’re a beacon of hope and inspiration to post-apocalyptic survivors everywhere. A true patriot aspiring towards the American dream, despite being nothing more than a homeless bum. No matter. The Postal Service is back up and running now, and it’s up to you to keep it that way. Seeing as how your pony was eaten, maybe your new guard dog can help out instead.
[i:
yx60o6et]You win when all threats to the Postal Service have been eliminated.[/i]
Abilities: During the day, you may vote.
Guard Dog (active) – Once each Night, you may target another player. That player will be untargetable this Night (including mail).

Another day gone, another noble mailman lost. Perhaps tomorrow you'll have better luck. You'd better.

It is now Night 3. No posting! Day 4 will begin in 72 hours.

[Stardust]

The sun has not yet risen as you roll out of bed, make yourself a poptart and head in to the office. Of course, as expected, one of you is missing. Also as expected, Cursed_Pride says, "Maybe Iso is just... sick?" She pauses as everyone glares at her. "Okay, okay, but maybe... aliens?" Everyone gives a strange look and briefly considers punching themselves in the face to rid their brains of this stupidity, but then you get back to business instead.

"This is seriously getting old. I haven't had my morning coffee break in almost 3 days!"
"Maybe you should call the union?"
"Damn right! Just as soon as we kill these fuckin' traitors!"

Iso's Role PM

---

Iso, you are Agent K, First-Class Mailer.
You were once one of the Men in Black’s best agents, working to protect the Earth for over 35 years. Of course, you don’t remember any of that since Jay buzzed you with a neuralizer. Now you’re just Kevin Brown, a divorced, lonely postal worker who takes himself too seriously and works with a bunch of freaks. Whatever. You’ll do your job and mail those first-class parcels ‘til the space cows come home.
You win when all threats to the Postal Service have been eliminated.
Abilities: During the day, you may vote.
First Class (static) – Mail you send can’t be tampered with or blocked.
Upgrade (active) – Once each Night, you may target another player. Mail that player sends can’t be tampered with or blocked this Night.[/spoiler:

It is now Day 4. With 6 alive it is 4 to lynch.

[hamfactorial]

Yesterday was a clusterfuck beyond all expectations.

[Mcdonalds]

Received mail from ham

Sent mail to nihilist and c_p

vote wraith

[hamfactorial]

I'd like to hear from C_P since he's the only player I can trust anymore.

[hamfactorial]

Got mail from DK, sent mail to LMD.

[RedNihilist]

Received no mail. watched LMD receive mail from ham.

[RedNihilist]

ham why didn't you try your ability?

[hamfactorial]

I tried, Stardust said I didn't have a bomb to attach to my message.

[Cursed_Pride]

I received no mail.

-The Iso kill was certainly unexpected. -I will have to re-evaluate.

[Mcdonalds]

Apparently you can roleblock mail somehow

[hamfactorial]

Wraith has a roleblock ability.

Killing Iso seems ridiculous to me, he was called out specifically yesterday as a scum suspect. Why wouldn't they kill you, C_P? Leaving you alive makes it easier to find scum.

BRB WIFOM head exploding.

[Mcdonalds]

CPs reads are wrong then, he identified iso, jack and I as being the remaining scum candidates, iso/jack were town

Make of that what you will

[Cursed_Pride]

-I plan on looking at Lord_McDonalds, Dechs Kaison, and RedNihilist over some more. -hamfactorial and Wraith are behaviorally cleared in my mind.

I admit I have not been playing as well as I should be, and it's the reason why the scum have kept me alive. Apologies.

[Mcdonalds]

Why not reevaluate everyone, the group is small enough to where that is manageable?

Specifically wraith, there is no way the town had both a cloaked and a roleblocker

[Cursed_Pride]

Wraith's behavior re: replacing out and Iso yesterday was very genuine. -hamfactorial's vig claim and his genuine scumhunting efforts yesterday make me sure that he's town.

-I would be very surprised if either were scum.

[hamfactorial]

It's MyLo at this point, so we need to get this right. At worst, if C_P just randomly selected one of the 5, he'd have a 40% chance of hitting scum and getting to day 5.

Naturally I agree with your assessment of me. I'm town, but I clearly tunneled Jack too hard and got punished by it. I still don't know about Wraith being cleared, but I'm willing to give your opinion more weight since you're confirmed town.

My frustration with lurky players is that after my horrible wagon on Jack, I still have very little to look at from LMD. It was nice of scum to kill Iso, the other black box enigma, so that's upside.

I'd like to hear from DK and to ask if he'd like me to share his mail to me.

C_P: can you go over your reasoning why Wraith is cleared? I felt that his replace tantrum was genuine, too, but I still struggle to explain my failed vig without a bulletproof mafia boss or a mafia roleblocker.

[Cursed_Pride]

-Yeah, I think actually going through Wraith's posts will help me solidify my read on him, and make sure that I'm not confirmation biasing the read up.

There are two scum, and ultimately all of you have something that "clears" you, hence us making it to mylo. I'm assuming I wasn't killed because I'd help push mislynches and yeah.

-Can all of you give me links to your last completed town and scum games? That might help me assuage my paranoia.

I plan on doing work now that we're in mylo. -I'm still somewhat surprised that Jack flipped scum, but ultimately mislynches are built into the game, and any mislynch is fine if it helps us figure things out.

[Mcdonalds]

Yeah there is no way jack and wraith were on the same team

[Cursed_Pride]

Why not reevaluate everyone, the group is small enough to where that is manageable?

Specifically wraith, there is no way the town had both a cloaked and a roleblocker

-I think I actually need to do this. I don't want to leave anything unturned.

Please unvote. We have tons of time, and we need to approach this slowly. I don't want to make a rash decision and lose.

[Mcdonalds]

Last scum game was on ms, it was over a year ago though and was my second game ever, you can try and gleam information from it but I doubt you will (same username and was the only game I played there on that account so find it if you want

Last town game was here though, in fact barring one game were I was a serial killer, I've been town in all of them

[Mcdonalds]

unvote

[hamfactorial]

DTR Mafia (scum)
Theros Mafia (scum)
Ragnarok Mafia (town)
Peddle Mafia (meth kingpin)

[Mcdonalds]

Oh yeah I was in peddle mafia too, not sure what to make of that one

[hamfactorial]

I considered not mentioning Peddle since nothing happened in 2 months worth of game time.

[Mcdonalds]

We made imopen a judge ....twice

[hamfactorial]

I got Stardust recruited and made him a judge, then he abandoned me on the first day that a lynch was available.

[Dechs Kaison]

Hey guys. I'm in Japan for work all through next week and most of the following. I'll still be able to post it just won't be at any normal hours.

Ham, sure, share my mail if you'd like. It's all the things I was going to say had I survived anyway.

This is my first game, CP, so you've got no meta on me. Lynch me if it makes you feel better, but if I do the math right, we need to lynch the correct guy today or we lose. I don't think anyone should be voting right now. All it takes is two wrong votes and the scum team can jump on that and win in a heartbeat. We need to be very sure of any votes cast.

Why Iso? We could WIFOM the hell out of that. CP's reads were wrong, so why kill him? It makes it too obvious, so they could be doing it just as a distraction. But maybe that's what they want us to think. I really haven't been playing long enough to make a guess at why this happened. I was afraid they'd kill Ham
because Ham suspected me and it would set me up as framed really well. But then I realized I could just WIFOM that away. If I was scum, it wouldn't make any sense for me to kill the guy that suspected me.

Notice that they didn't touch the wagon that lynched Jack! Killing anyone there would have narrowed down the wagon suspects (well, I guess CP doesn't count), so that means one of us on that wagon has to be scum.

LMD, I know you weren't on Jack's wagon, but this doesn't change my thoughts on you. Especially now that we know Ham doesn't have his bomb anymore.

Unless Ham's been lying about the vig thing all along. I wish I could say you've been scumhunting well, but we haven't actually found any scum since the first day that was super lucky.

Hey, now there's an idea! Who from day 1's successful wagon is still around? Then take that wagon and subtract off anyone that's been on the incorrect wagons of days 2 and 3. That should leave us with a list of real scum hunters and maybe clear a
few names as town.

[Mcdonalds]

What does me not being on jacks wagon have to with anything?

[Dechs Kaison]

I just said that at least one scum has to be on Jack's wagon. The fact that you weren't on Jack's wagon doesn't clear you.

[Dechs Kaison]

Ok, so here's what I'm putting together.

Day One Lynch:
rcwraspy (7): InflatablePie, Cursed_Pride, imopen2, RedNihilist, Jack, Wraith223, Mogadishu Jones

Day Two Lynch:
rezombad (6): InflatablePie, Jack, hamfactorial, Dechs Kaison, Lord_Mcdonalds, Wraith223

Day Three Lynch:
Jack (5): hamfactorial, RedNihilist, Wraith223, Dechs Kaison, Cursed_Pride

Hmm. Well, that didn't help much. No one on rcw's wagon didn't also vote and hang someone town.

[Dechs Kaison]

And, shit, that makes me look all manner of guilty because I was only on the town wagons.

[hamfactorial]

The message I received from DK -

Ham,
CP is probably dead already, but in the event that the scum team is dumb enough to kill me instead, I'd like to give you my final thoughts.
I still have no idea what's going on with my power and the three supposed Pie mails. None of the messages I've checked come back as anything other than who it says they are. Maybe someone will send some anon mail tonight to help me verify again. I'm left with the conclusion that Pie was lying or simply mistaken when he mentioned a third mail. If he was lying, I'm guessing he was hoping someone would call him out on it to verify an ability.
I stand by my earlier vote on LMD, especially now that we know Jack was telling the truth. You sent him a bomb and he didn't die. Someone protected him, and if that someone was a townie, he'd be claiming it. The only way LMD survives that bomb is if he's scum.
I know he has a scum buddy,
but I can't tell who that is. It's most likely Wraith or Iso, but it could just as easily be Red. If we want to hang the buddy, it's a coinflip at best to hang the right guy. We can't afford mistakes anymore, so we need to hang the only clear scum: LMD.
I take all that back if your bomb actually ends up going through tonight but that's the only way I'd believe your bomb didn't get to LMD. If that is the case, then I have no idea who the scum team really is.

[Mcdonalds]

So your saying lynch you?

[Dechs Kaison]

You're* saying. But no, I'm just commenting on how my little idea of detective work backfired. I think it's funny.
