Cantr Mafia II - Game Thread (Day 8) Lynch: Tuesday 11pm

[Dee]

"I see we are on the same level thinking, Mr. Shy, I do not know how I failed to see it before" he nods "I apologize again."

[Phalynx]

It is not a matter of right.. or justice...fact or fiction. It is a matter of expediency as... are you blind do you not see... there are killers amongst us... they may hide as mild mannerd, or lunatic, vocal or quiet but they are nonetheless there and being carefull and considerate will not save us..

[saztronic]

Of course. The spies could be any one of us. But let's deal with priorities and probabilities, rather than blind guesses, shall we?

I've given you a reason to point a finger at someone. It's a good reason, one I don't put forward lightly. You offer no evidence for your accusation other than vague comments that anyone could be a spy and so, closing your eyes, you spun around and your finger arbitrarily landed on the papaya freak. I'd rather settle this based on truly suspicious, rather than simply bizarre, behavior.

He squats down on his haunches, nodding his head and thinking a moment, then looks up and says quietly

Unless you have some hidden motive for wanting to protect a more likely suspect? For diverting attention from someone who poses a real threat to your plan of action, because you don't sincerely believe in that plan?

[Phalynx]

You are altogether correct sir....

Unvote Kinyova

Vote saztronic

You are very verbal sir, and I think you hide much in your words...

[saztronic]

chuckles softly and shakes his head, looking around at the others

Seems I've struck quite a nerve with our hotheaded friend, here, haven't I.

grins, but with a steely glint in his eye...

The only thing hiding in my words is the truth, Phalynx. Mafia Salad's arguments threaten to bring us to nothing. No action, no fighting, no end to TBR's depradations -- which you claim so desperately to want.

What is it about this truth that frightens you so?

[Pie]

Phalynx, why must you over-think such things as words? I think that saztronic speaks truth in his words. At least, He tries his best to speak truth. I for one, would be more inclined to vote to lynch you, for trying to kill anything that tries to speak anything close to the truth. But... I won't, for I know nothing as of yet, for lack of being awake during current events.

[Phalynx]

Although I myself talk much my suspicion is aroused by such verbage... after all nobody knows anything of what people here do in the dark quiet times... why the talk of evidence and proof when there is none. If you believe, or have proof that someone here is innocent please say so, but do not pretend in any other situation that your votes are anything but random yet, and that your words of defence are either an indication of hidden alleigance or merely spitting in the rain...

[Pie]

hmm. True enough.

[saztronic]

I never brought up the words "evidence" and "proof". I go only by what people have said in the past day. Kinovya said she liked papayas. Mafia Salad said he thought we should just lie low, keep to ourselves, not rock the boat, one government is the same as any other.

He says this, when everyone else is advocating for action against TBR, to stamp out their breed of malicious evil once and for all.

he turns to the crowd

I ask all of you -- which behavior is more suspicious, which words more likely to lead to TBR being left alone, allowing them to strenghten their hold on the Forest and on the entire island? The answer is obvious.

[the_antisocial_hermit]

*turns towards Phalynx* Every vote, every person lynched will be lynched on only supposition as we go along, rather than on true evidence, Phalynx. There will be those that believe they have sure evidence, *shrugs and turns away* but there is no true evidence here. All of our insight on any one person comes from their words and actions, or lack of words and actions. Saztronic brings up a good point about Mafia's words and desired actions. However, I don't see your reasoning about saztronic's words. Not yet anyway. *searches each face with a steady, probing gaze* Who will pay the price for the freedom we believe we must secure? We all will, in one way or another. So let us not falsely believe that there are no logical ways of going about this, nor let us falsely believe that we have any truth of evidence for anyone.

[Debsy]

*he shakes his head after listening for a while, then looks at Saztronic* I do understand your thinking, sir...But for me the one who seems more suspicious to me would be Phalynx. He seems to be very insistent on picking out the odd ones. First he chose Kinvoya. Because why...? Because she was different. Then he changes his mind and picks you? Because you talk a lot? *he shakes his head* I'm not accusing anyone yet, but if I were to, it would most likely be Phalynx that I chose. But perhaps you are right. Let's let this Mafia salad character speak his opinion, first.

[Mafia Salad]

I'm sorry that you don't like the idea of lying low, maybe you should take it up with the half a dozen people here that are doing just that. It doesn't take a lot of work look around and see that there are more people here then the ones who are talking. I've made my position clear and I'm not going to go about picking people to kill because they have a shady look to them or are standing too close to the buffalo. I have no idea who's who and I'm not going to pretend I do.

I have other reasons for being here and they have nothing to do with TBR or Karnon or the De Dannon or the rest of your groups. I am trying to stay out of your little mess so I don't get caught in the crossfire, but you're pretty insistent on bringing this war to everyone now aren't you Saztronic.

[Nixit]

*he watches Saz very intently this whole time, and his ears perk up a little when he speaks*

"Muh - muh... Mafia Salad."

[the_antisocial_hermit]

Mafia Salad, you will never be able to stay out of the crossfire. No one on this island will. All will be dragged into it, forced to take sides just for survival. Sooner or later, you will be dragged into it, too. Right now it seems sooner so far, unfortunately. It is foolish for anyone to think that they can remain neutral and stay out of it all. It is too easy to make war and not nearly as easy to make peace.

[Spider]

Why I vote for Kinvoya? First off she attracts attention to herself but only enough to be known...I do love to look at her but once someone gets too close BAM! She goes crazy! Why? To scare you away, not allowing a chance for anyone know the real Kinvoya! What would a good spy do?! They wouldn't just stand in silence, that would be too easy...they would win the hearts of the people and get them to protect them so it doesn't look suspicious! She is the spy!
