I urge everyone to hold their votes untill we've extraced every last bit of information out of Paj before the day ends, this will make the situation much clearer. I want to go over all the previous nights with this info. Otherwise, I'll vote Paj first even before ReZ or others.

Yeah, I was going to vote "No lynch", but 10 people beat me to it.

Paj, we need everyone you targeted each night, and what you changed them into. Each and everyone of 'm.

Ok, so apparently they fixed the Mass Effect DLC, so while I'm downloading, I'll post this sooner than expected . Cube says he targeted Paj. I'm now pretty sure Paj is the shapeshifter. Jonnas seems to have a protective ability. So everyone decided to target Diageo at once.. First up is Ellmeister, who for reasons unknown fails his investigation. I wonder why? So our unknown neutral devil friend knows something about Diageo. As Moogle stated they only get tracking info on their own, which would mean, as Diageo says he targeted me, there would be someone who can verify this. I don't believe Dyson has mentioned what power he has.. Somebody tries to roleblock Diageo? But he got roleblocked himself, by an "innocent looking character". I'm assuming this innocent looking character isn't actually innocent. The thing is, I've already recorded 20 players in my notes, and even taking shapeshifters into account, this is character 21. So this must be a new appearance for somebody. I wonder why they'd target him twice, especially as these forced votes are already unconvincing. Like I said, surprised he survived the previous night to be honest, and unfortunate that he couldn't give away the long haired man. ReZ's ring again not appearing, I'm sure he has some elaborate explanation for that :P. However, I think I may shift my voting priorities. I believe Paj is the shapeshifter, having altered other people's appearances to cause confusion, but chose the wrong time to alter his own: while Cube was watching. I think he may have been the woman wearing green. I say get rid of him first, this will minimize the confusion in following nights. That said, I still want to hear what other people have to say, especially: - Paj's response - What everyone's got Diageo, although I think it's gotten irrelevant . - I want to know from the Fish what his exact role and abilities are. Or at the very least how he fits in the last write-up. - Coolness Bears response to his accusation

That's because I didn't target anyone. Geez, you sure got some attention. Ha ha, this probably isn't the case, but in case it turns out you're good.. That's 4 wasted abilities right there . Anyway, I got tired waiting for the Mass Effect DLC (:p), and I was about to go to bed.. I'll post my analysis tomorrow (or to be precise, later today :P). This night brings up new questions.. Although I doubt we'll get any new info, as everyone targeted Diageo :p. Inclined to vote ReZ, but I'll hold out for now, I want to see what others have to say first, in case there is new info. Oh, and to be honest I'm surprised Zell didn't get killed The night before, for giving us Mundi. But it's too bad he didn't get to post who the long haired man was before they finally did decide to kill him. Oh, I do wonder though Diageo, how are you so sure I don't appear in the write-up? Just curious..

It's been released on X-Box live a few hours ago already apparently, but the PC release is just up. Go download that (1,5 GB) shit! Edit: There seems to be something wrong with the PC download, hmm.

It could be, I believe in Smash Brothers it just damages right? But in Smash football, it reverses your moves. Still, I think it has some other effect than redirecting. Paj, you could still be the character wearing boots, that character wasn'tactually doing anything too, which coincides with your claim. That's why I'd love to hear from Peach, she can tell.

ell, Eenuh could be right. I'm not going to vote yet. At the very least we can verify who you are in the write-up.

This could be the situation: Tellyn was targeting ReZ, but got results from Paj. Peach targets Paj, but gets reflected because of ReZ's power - ReZ can confirm is his reflect also works on non-lethal targeted abilities? - Peach can come forward saying he/she targetd Paj, to confirm he's Fox and the character wearing boots, and the switched character. I'm inclined to vote for Paj, but I'll wait for more info from all the involved people.

I didn't think Jigglypuff is mafia, what I meant was, the actual effect of Jigglypuff's Sing ability "in this game of Mafia", is not shown, because of the protection, although it's safe to assume this is probably some kind of roleblock. Unlike ReZ, I'm not going to judge characters based on what they actually are in their games, so Bowser (if he's even in the game) may be good, and Jigglypuff may be evil. But I'll judge that based on their actions. The only thing I am sure of is that the character in green is evil, who may be either Luigi or Yoshi. Exactly what I was thinking. I haven't gone over all the claims being made in the meantime, with ReZ vs Tellyn, and Paj claiming ot be Fox, so I don't know yet how that all fits in, but I was thinking that indeed, the character in boots is a Starfox character (so either Fox, Falco or Wolf), and the blue haired guy, I thought Ike was more likely initially, but as other's have pointed out Diageo's avatar, is probably Marth then, and something has been switched between these 2 guys, probably because of the blue character, who I think is Lucario (perhaps some Pokémon fan can tell me if this looks similar to one of his actual Pokémon moves, because it certainly doesn't look like any of his Smash moves). What has been switched however, and how permanent this will be.. I'd love to know. Oh and thanks :p I don't think there will be items in the game. And what is an egg? It's a shell, with some goo inside (usually). But. I was thinking afterwards that it's possible and maybe more probably that this is Squirtle. Which leaves Yoshi still open to be the killer. Personally I think the stars are here for flavour, when somebody dies in Smash Brothers there's a big flash and some stars, and when you're smashed into the ceiling you turn into a star. That said, Kirby seems to me to be to cool to pass up as a character in a mafia game, but I see no hint of him in the write-up.. And now to go over all the stuff ReZ has said. Geez ReZ, when you claim something, you do it big, and run with it, do you?

First of all, I own all the Smash Brothers games, but there's only a handful of characters I actually play with, or played with rather, haven't touched any of them for a long time. Not familiar with a lot of movesets.. I'm not kidding, Ellmeister, Jigglypuff is actually my second favourite character after Samus :p. I don't know, sounds like Lucario with some psychic ability to me, but I'm not familiar with Lucario's moveset. It's definitely not Sonic, but there are other candidates (?). I don't know anything about non-G1 Pokémon, that might make the next Pokemon mafia hard for me if I join in . Anyway, to be honest, which exact character it is isn't as import as the player behind it, and what ability is shown here. Noteworthy is the fact that it affects 2 players, although it doesn't mention anyhting else.. So probably not a redirector or somehting. Roleswitcher or something? meh, too early to tell. The woman is Peach, with some supportive ability. The other character.. Well there are various characters wearing boots. I wonder what's bothering him/her though. Perhaps the ability above? Hmm, there are various characters with varying degrees of red in their clothing, but Diddy Kong fits this description the most. The woman.. Some sort of magical teleport move, seems to suggest Zelda. Also some protective ability. Spikes is bit weird, but they probably describe Jigglypuff's ears, because Bowser certainly doesn't sing soothing lullabies. The mafia effect isn't revealed here, but looking at what Sing does in Smash Brothers, this can only be either a roleblock or silence ability, I'm guessing the former. Most definitely Samus using her charge move and Sonic. Ha ha, I think Diageo is taking a cue from his own character in the DIY one for this one.. Most likely a redirector, who failed because Samus isn't targeting at the moment.. Most definitely Wario, and probably Ike or Marth, I think Ike is more likely. I wonder what's up with him though, just like the character above, acting strangely. Perhaps these ARE the 2 targets of some psychic ability of Lucario? Someone has to help me out here. Hmm, no wait, I'm changing my mind here, the shell may actually Yoshi, I first assumed he was the killer. With some sort of shield ability to protect himself. The other must be Ganondorf. I wonder if plot means he has a seperate win condition? Probably not. Link dies, but he seems not only to be targeted by the mafia, but by probably Pikachu as well, probably the town roleblocker then I guess. First I though the killer was Yoshi like I said, but it's more likely Yoshi has something to do with the shell above, so that leaves us with Luigi. So, what info do we got? :p

No it's definitely Yoshi, makes complete sense, I love Yoshi, except in the Smash Brothers games, with is annoying junp-kick move thingy. I really hate that little fucker there. Anyway, hmm.. I'm not sure if being familiar with the theme will make this harder or easier. Breakdown in a minute.

Now if all people get their PM's in ASAP, we can continue where we left off :p.

<sigh> 0123456789

It's day 4 man :P.

Hmm, well it's my first game, so I have no base for comparison, but it did feel epic yeah. Somebody should novelize this.

No, I'm good, but my abilities haven't been really useful so far. Anyway, what worries me is we haven't heard from Zell. His profile showed he was active yesterday, but hasn't posted I believe? Perhaps there is another silencer at work? He should know who the long haired guy is, is ReZ checks out, he should be the next target to go for.

Thought as much. We need more PC gamers people! Free online, free DLC (well at least for L4D) and cheaper prices overall! What are you playing non-exclusive FPS games on the X-Box for?

That wouldn't matter at that pount, the fact would be that Moogle lied in that case.

Then I was wrong and I'll trust what ReZ says.

Funny though, this has been going on for 10 pages.

Now it's just waiting for Maddog to get this over with. Very curious as to what the result will be, but my bet is: Moogleviper is dead. He was God. His alignment is unknown. And that'll be it.

Reluctant to vote for Moogle, yes. I did vote, I voted for you. But obviously, is he's evil, I'll eat my words, and I apologize. I don't think he's evil though. But I fear, he will just show up as "unknown" just like jayseven, which means this won't be resolved for most people. Oh, and no, I'm not his partner though. I'll reveal who I am when it's needed, but I'm pretty harmless to any side so far.

Yeah, 9 votes. Sorry Moogle, assuming your good or neutral. My vote's still on ReZ, and I'll vote ReZ immediately next turn if he's wrong.
