Open Classic Mafia 1 - Game over

[Isha]

Action 1: Doctor protects cop.
Action 2: Killer kills cop.
Action 3: Doctor is preventing from protecting the cop.

So either you prevented me from protecting the cop, or you killed the cop. Either way, you are lying about not having a role. I suspect Arkan blocked me, thinking that I was perhaps the killer. And you killed Joolis.

[Isha]

I meant Doctor is prevented, not preventing. But I can't edit .

[Arkan]

I am a townie, proud and true. I only voted to lynch someone once because she seemed clearly guilty. She nominated someone to kill without even the slightest evidence. KILL SOMEONE. That's a big deal. Heck, it discolored my opinion of everyone who voted for that. And she had no remorse after. Read her posts again and she seems guilty. Once we found out she was innocent, I was at a loss.

[Arkan]

That sounds odd. I mean, there's only 1 mafia, and I cannot do anything. So the mafia had to prevent the doctor and kill joolis?

[Isha]

So...both of you claim that you can't do anything at night, yet I was roleblocked and Joolis was killed? That makes zero sense. I 100% protected Joolis and the only way he could have been killed is if I was roleblocked. I mean, obviously the killer is lying, but why would the person who roleblocked me lie? Unless you're both mafia? In which case, just get it over with .

I'm very confused right now.

[Brocas]

There is only 2 mafia, according to the rules Xoco posted.

I suspect that the roleblocker also has the ability to kill and most likely did 2 actions, which hopefully clears up the confusion.

So Arkan is not claiming to be doctor which means Isha is the doctor. This is what I was suspecting earlier and is now confirmed. This means that Arkan is the mafia/roleblocker.

I'm going to cast my vote now, but we can definitely discuss more Isha. It looks like you are going to be the deciding factor since you are the only 100% cleared player.

Vote: Arkan

[Isha]

Yeah, that's why I was holding off voting. If I vote wrong, then the person who is the mafia is obviously going to jump on that and the game is over. We need to discuss more so I can have a better idea. Now that both of you are claiming not to have a role, that really throws a wrench into things. Is it really possible that the last mafia player could have roleblocked me AND killed Joolis?

I do have my suspicions and I'll cast my vote before the deadline, but I don't feel comfortable doing it just yet.

[Isha]

There is, of course, a third option. It's possible that Joolis, as the cop, had the ability to either investigate or roleblock. Do you think it's possible that he suspected me and chose to roleblock me, thus canceling his own protection?? It seems a stretch that the cop would have two abilities, but it's not outside the realm of possibility that a cop would have the ability to jail (roleblock) someone.

Just some things I'm thinking about. I hope Arkan has more to say, or some theories. I need you guys to talk and discuss so I can hopefully figure out which of you is the liar! haha.

[Brocas]

Absolutely. Please don't cast your vote until you feel confident.

Here are the roles that will appear in the game, and their role PMs.

Scum:
1 Mafia Roleblocker
1 Mafia Goon

Town:
1 Doctor
1 Cop
5 Vanilla Townies

I do think that Arkan did both actions in the night. That really is the only explanation I see. I really do not think that Joolis could investigate AND roleblock. Seems to me the roleblocker is just a mafia ability.

[Isha]

Oh, I understand now.

There isn't one killer. They, as a unit, agree on who to kill. Then they each have an ability.

Now I just have to decide if you solved the mystery of the abilities because you are a townie, or because you're the mafia trying to throw Arkan under the bus
