Just a reminder. The King Pro Tempore is NOT an official role. As indicated in the first paragraph of my post it is one that is created by me.

I have a new strategy for catching mobbies. I'm confident this one will work. Sure my quiz two games ago was a complete failure, and sure my strategy of pming everyone last game was also a complete failure, but all things must obey the third time is the charm rule!

There will be Elections for a King Pro Tempore!

Here's how this will work:
1) During the night phase everyone needs to cast their vote for who they want to be the King Pro Tempore.  Use the following format. You may vote for yourself.

I vote to make Primo the King Pro Tempore.

2) At the end of this night phase the person with the most votes will get the title of King Pro Tempore.
3)  The King Pro Tempore will get two lynch votes during the day. During the day phase whoever the King Pro Tempore votes for I will also vote for. The only exception is if the King Pro Tempore decides to be a jerk and vote for me. In that case I will vote to lynch the King Pro Tempore until they change their vote to someone else.
4) The elected King Pro Tempore will retain their powers until they are killed by the mafia/sk or lynched. When that happens there will be new elections during the following night phase to determine the new King Pro Tempore.
5) In case there is a draw a random number generator will be used to determine the new King Pro Tempore.

This will give us an extra chance to catch mobbies by watching who votes for who.

==============The Voting for the King Pro Tempore Ends when night phase ends================
Vote!

Quick! Come watch my 4D TV. There is breaking news on GNN.

--------------------------
"Now for a breaking update from The Galactic News Network. The most trusted news source according to a poll of our interns. I'm tonights' anchor the lovely Debbie Donuthin and you're watching the midday update. Back to you Michael Mybich."

"What do you mean 'Back to you'? I haven't said anything yet."

"JUST TALK AND MAKE ME A SANDWICH!"

"Yes yes of course my dear. I'm sorry don't hit me... onto tonights' news.

The Galactic Overseers Military has announced that it has settled negotiations with the United Droids Foundation ending the nine week long strike. The UDF calls it a major advancement towards droid equality. Under the new contracts droids will get a 10% increase in pay and will only have to pay 125% of their salaries in union dues. Trixy is live out in the field tonight with more details. Trixy?"

"Thank you Michael. I'm here at the GO Military Headquarters and you can just feel the excitement. Lets talk to one of the combat droids. Excuse me Mr Droid. How does this make you feel?"

"01001001 01010111010010010100110001001100 010011010101010101010010010001000100010101010010 010110010100111101010101 010000010100110001001100!"

"I don't know what you said, but the piston in your hydraulic pump must be fluttering with excitement. As I'm sure our viewers can see they are very happy about this historic advancement in droids' rights. Back to you Michael."

"Thank you for that touching insight Trixie. I'm sure this day is a dream come true for robotic slaves everywhere. In other news the GO has announced new rules of engagement for intra family attacks. Morale loss from attacking inactive or rogue family members will be increased from 10% of regular loss to 35%. This change should take effect tomorrow at 04:00 Galactic Mean Time.

Ms Donuthin would you like to wrap this up?"

"SANDWICH NOW!"

"Yes yes my dear, I'm sorry. That's it for todays news update. Tune in tonight at 10 where we'll have an exclusive interview with a space cat that survived an interplanetary portal accident and now has rainbows shooting out its ass. Until then I'm Michael Herbich for the Galactic News Network. Good day Milky Way."
--------------------------

For those of you who didn't put on your 4D headphones in time the amount of morale lost in intrafamily attacks against inactives and rogues will be increased from 10% of normal loss to 35%. The maximum loss will remain 10 morale. This is the only change. Droid upkeep will not be increasing.

Facts:
1: Iluvatar is the GF
2: Keeping Iluvatar alive is in the best interest of the town. We can roll block him every other night. Investigations that turn up townie can be trusted.
3: Nolio is an experience mafia player. He has played many games.
4: Nolio has used the "Keep the GF alive" strategy in past games
5: Nolio claims to not understand this basic strategy

<Nolio> lol
<Nolio> I don't get this plan at all =p

6: On the first day there was an early bandwagon to lynch Nolio

8: Iluvatar was a part of that late bandwagon and pleaded to save Nolio
Iluvatar Wrote:

seriously :\ dont vote nolio. Its a bandwagon kill and if he turns out to be townie, we'll lose a very strong player icon8

I change my vote to Delex. No idea who he is, and if he is mob or town, but i rather have a useless townie dead then a nolio townie dead!

Who I suspect the remaining mafia members could be:

1: Iluvatar
2: Nolio
3: Genesis
4: KT
5: Unlikely but still on this list as an extra: Elrohir

Summary:
I change my vote to Nolio

We can roll block Iluvatar every other night (mob kills cut in half). Investigations can be trusted now that we know he's the GF (all townie investigations are definitely townie). For the sake of the town keep the GF alive.

I am voting Ps

Quiz results are in!
Sort of

As many of you know I have been quizzing people about their role with a short quiz on my website. I wrote a script to gather statistics and answers from that quiz.

The results page has three useful sections
1: Raw answer data. Who answered what and how long did it take them. (Pretty graphs in this section)
2: Total time information. Shows how long each person took to take the quiz.
3: Voting similarities. Shows who people voted similar to. (More pretty graphs)

Now for the disappointing part! I won't tell you which answers I think are mobby: you have to decide. However, that's not the most interesting info. The most interesting info is the voting similarities and the time taken.

Here is the results page: http://www.petrolstone.com/quiz/results.php

I vote Iluvatar for because he doesn't claim to know what he's talking about. Last mafia I read through every post from 4 previous mafia games. One thing mobsters consistently do that townies don't is include doubts in their posts. Townies don't doubt.
