Aether, were roles assigned randomly via a random number generator?

*has a conspiracy theory about an all-admin Mafia *

As per the second part of your post, I can't answer that.

All I can say is don't rely on meta-reasoning. That is, don't rely on information that isn't relevant to the in-game dynamics.

...so was it random or not? I don't understand.

I can't answer that now, because the answer directly validates or invalidates an in-game theory/strategy for voting.

Well now that we don't have confirmation... it's a possibility.

[Dove]

That was one of my ideas from the beginning. I never saw it possible. But now that Aether has basically said, "well yeah I can't tell you 'cause Trill is right," I think we should start leaning that way.

But I'm also suspicious of Pepper. She's too "oh please don't be a villager" when she votes someone, which is a maneuver I used when I was mafia. It makes you seem innocent, when you know the person who is being lynched is actually villager, thus making you seem inconspicuous when the said person is lynched.

^^Err does that make sense?


Still, Trill's conspiracy is something I've thought about for all the games. Wouldn't it just be so perfect to have all admins be mafia? Nobody is peeking over each other's shoulders in the office, they can openly discuss all thoughts and plans of action without having to communicate via Internet. If only I had shared this with someone before...

BTW, if my posting is sparse, I'm moving on Thursday. I will try to use wifi at the hotels, seeing as it's a four day drive from Pennsylvania to Arizona.

I vote alex.

Killing another of the admin team will basically confirm or deny the theory. If we can get on a vote soon enough, we'll be able to find out. I'm not certain by any stretch of the imagination, but I still want to find out.

[Dove]

I was almost certain he was mafia earlier on in the game. It was almost TOO great that it was all just brushed under the rug.

I also vote Alex both to confirm this theory and for previously stated examples.

Nah, you make sense. ^^ But I assure you, that's just my personality because I genuinely do hope people aren't villagers when they die. I guess it's my way of apologizing in case they do end up being innocent. =P

Alex.

[Dove]

I get it. It's a useful way to either A) Seem inconspicuous if you're in fact mafia or B) Just try to hope everyone thinks you're a villager when you are in fact a villager.

[Andrea]

I will vote for Alex as well to confirm or deny this theory.

We need two more votes.

[Trill]

Voting for Alex.

Due to the recent posts by Aether I wouldn't be surprised if Pat had selected Aether because he know he'd agree to an all-admin mafia.

Edit:

If this theory is right, I demand a signed Err Bear poster from PB.

In any normal game, the narrator can easily confirm that the roles were distributed randomly. Why is this not the case here? Either Aether is having a bit of fun with us or the roles weren't actually random.

Probably the latter, but eh, may as well find out.

Also, I think they should just upload the poster-size err bear so we can get our own posters. Or sell it for a few dollars or something. I'd buy that.

I might buy it too.

But before we get ahead of ourselves... we might want to wait to see if this theory is even right. lol

I told you before Phaelyn that I would trust you. But this is a very strange position for me. If Alex is mafia, then I'm going to look like mafia. And even though Dove just said people who say, "I hope you're not a villager" end up looking like mafia, Alex I really really hope, for my own sake, that you are a villager! And if you are, I'm sorry...

If Alex is mafia, I'll go after Ren next ;d

We'll keep Adam alive as long as possible. ^^
