[Forum Game] [Mafia] Stable Conundrum

[TyrannisUmbra]

Something sophos said yesterday struck me as important. He asserted that there was a sheriff looking for the culprits. Very emphatically, in fact. It makes me inclined to think that maybe, if he's so sure there is one, that he is the sheriff? And if he is, then to prove so, he should tell us what he's found so far.

[sophos]

sophos looked over a shoulder at TyrannisUmbra. *sigh* "I'm really not, and I'd advise whoever is keep silent until they have hard evidence. At this point, we have a 33.3% chance to vote out a Scumbag, slightly better if we consider SourCerry's innocence, but we still have virually the double the chance to vote an innocent. And a 33.3% chance to vote out the guard or sheriff, SourCherry could possibly be the sheriff though she's definately not the guard so... slightly better chance of running out the guard but worse chance to vote out the Sheriff-" sophos shook his head. "My point is: it's a toss up right now. If the sheriff has evidence, great, if not... Well, I just hope we don't vote them out; or the Guard. Maybe if we could find a pattern to the attacks..." Sits down and scratches his mane.

(virtually double the*)

[Schorcht]

Please Sophos. How does it make no sense to you? Should I put into points for you? 1. You had two people vote against you. Myself and Palm. Enough for you to get kicked out. 2. You changed your vote to spare your own life and claimed to be doing me some sort of justice. Now if you start to put things together, killing Palm was the smart choice. Since now I am again most likely going to be pointed at this day. While if had I died Palm would probably not be. So in a single swift move, you've gotten rid of both of the people who acted against you without having anyone else bat an eye in your direction. And do not take my choice to be swift to act as hostile, it is necessary since we are just sitting around while everyone around us dies, that in point is doing the Steel Rangers a favor.

sophos ran a hoof over his forehead, eyes, then muzzle. "Schorcht that is the exact conclusion any half-wit would come to, that is why it's way too obvious. The problem is I can't tell whether you really are one, or just playing dumb. And the bit about saving both our lives, was because nopony had yet mentioned how draws worked." sophos adressed the others. "Does everyone realize that if we vote out another innocent, which is most likely, there will be an 80% chance we will lose; if we vote out the Guard, we lose period. I've been crunching the numbers and looking for patterns and all I've found is that we suck at voting. I voted Schorcht because I do suspect him, for likely the same reasons he suspects me; because chances are, from my perspective, we are both innocent. To any of you it's 50-50; except SourCherry, to her chances are we're both innocent. I don't really have any better reason to trust me than he does. The best I've got is that every victim so far has been next to him on the roster; and honestly, I wouldn't accept that as evidence so I don't expect you to. That, and that Scum have every reason to vote ponies out during the day. Right now we have a draw, and if that's fine with y'all it's fine with me. At the very least, it would guarantee us another day. And tomorrow, we could only the same chance or better to find a culprit."

[sophos]

(reason for you to trust me*)

[Schorcht]

Yes please. Let us wait till another pony dies. Great choice of action. Wait till it fits your calculations, cause everyone who has died so far is just a number to you.

[TyrannisUmbra]

Scorcht seems to be behaving very hostile right now, from my viewpoint. A lot more than can be explained from just simple accusation.

[TyrannisUmbra]

To elaborate, it's more than just your desire for action, it's also demeanor and the relentless targeting you're doing.

[SourCherry]

I agree with Sophos on that the sheriff or whoever is guarding us stays quiet about it until he/she finds actual evidence of the scum in charge of this, mostly because if he/she speaks now, he/she will be eliminated by those Steel Ranger fuckers before we get to know at least one of their identities.

Schorcht, you are acting in a very hostile and targeting mostly just Sophos in your arguments. We have no actual evidence unless the sheriff reveals some important information as in the identities of the Steel Rangers, so no matter who we pick to leave, it'll be a shot in the dark (no puns of any kind intended). I have equal amount of suspect for both of you, as is for anyone else.
