Yo yo, i am here. this took some time as well. Ill post it now. Maybe some grammar check needed but another time. >.>
<hr noshade size="1">
I see walls. @_@ I’ll try and keep this short.
I didn’t meant to be melodramatic in the last post, it was just too late to post this. But in any case, the information I am speaking about is not that we recruited a detective or something. The information we got was firstly from our own initiative and it secondly was damn time consuming. >.< Ill start now in anycase.
What we (masons) did in our night phase was principally one thing. Watching. We spent all our time simply watching the movements of players immediately after the night phase. Some background before I start to those who won’t immediately understand. MH as a forum has a function regular members can use. That function is, “invisibility”. Some understand the advantage of being invisible in this game. What invisibility does it eliminates the person’s movements from public view. Any user who is not invisible, by just checking their user profile you see the last time they came online. More importantly if they are not invisible and they are online, you can see what thread they are viewing or what they are currently doing by looking at their user profile. Now a lot of people already know this and its why some are invisible to protect themselves against that happening. But as far as I am aware nobody has actively tried to observe all the members activity during the night simultaneously.
I began doing this from game 7. That game is more easily remember as the yakuza and triad game. If you remember I as a member of the yakuza along with Cblitz. The first thing I mentioned to Cblitz when night phase started was simply “go invisible and observe everyone, we will find out the triads or masons like that”. He promptly went invisible and we began to look at players user profiles. Our aim was simple; anyone who was private messaging more than once was an enemy. We found a couple who were. Mainly though, there were three. Ustegius, pirulito and digitaldude. The first two were the most suspicious; they were not only private messaging they were private messaging in a specific pattern. They never private messaged at the same time. It was always one of them pms then the other pms, repeat, repeat. To cut a long story short, we decided to kill Pirulito. He was a triad. His death then confirmed one thing for us; Ustegius was almost definitely a triad. Because of a variety of different reasons and simple chance, ustegius lived longer than we wanted. Cblitz can confirm what I am saying.
Because I am a bit of a drama queen, I couldn’t help but gloat in the end, even though I was also killed.
tldr: I am awesome.
In any case, because of its success I wanted to use the same method again in the next game but that was cut short. So we ended up at game 9 the next time I was able to use it. Now let me make this clear, you need two things to observe people effectively this firstly, a) Patience b) no life, I have both in abundance
.
What we essentially did was open a separate tab for every single online player and refresh their page every half or full minute. And if they pm’d, we wrote down their name and the time. We did from the exact second the night phase began, too, give or take a couple of hours afterwards (See, I did mean painstaking!). The logs of the masons conversation are interesting in that all they really consisted of were essentially “ooh that persons pming”, “omg so is that person” “oooh they’re pming again!” etc etc
It was a long process and you have to bear in mind, there are two types who we did not get to observe. Those that are invisible (scav, good_boy, dark lord, hystzen etc) and those that were not online at the time (zeltrax etc), but we did get a good look at a little more than half the players. We saw those who sent one quick pm, to those who sent loads.
Now before I begin the results, they are two things to note. The reason we looked specifically for pm’s.
A person who sends 1 pms during the night phase can potentially be any role. E.g. The detective sending a pm to evil3ye. Or someone asking a question . We observed some people do something similar. More than 2, especially more than 3 mean two things. They are either have a role in the game which requires conversation or the pm is about something unrelated. However the reason I disregard the second point is because of the time period in which we observed, it would be too much of a coincidence for someone to start receiving pms and replying to them just right after the night phase start and it still be about something completely unrelated. A person who sends more than 2, can only have two roles. Those two roles are the only two roles in which a person is allowed to hold a conversation. They are Mason and Mafia. No one else will need to send more than 1/2 pms max. We know who are members of the mason, which only leaves one thing. Mafia.
Now I wont mention those who pmd once, to keep their probably pro-townie roles secret. There were two people however who pm not one, not twice, not even three times. But much much more than that. The first is Pirulito.
(all times in GMT)
Night phase began at 17:57 for me. Pirulito’s log:
18:07 - Viewing user profile
18:08 - Private messaging
18:13 – Finished private messaging
He left it there, and that was one. Suddenly Xadyu began pming and then he pmed again
18:26 – Private messaging
18:30 - Private messaging
(During this time we were distracted by the Xadyu who began pming frantically…we suspect we missed more pms from piru)
18:40 Private messaging
The second person was Xadyu. He pmd I think we counted a total of 6 times.
He made a short one at 18:25 and then sent a pm something like every couple of minutes up until 18:45.
I have to thank scav and orgz because they made this post much shorter. They layed the case against pirulito quite well and succinctly. The case to lay against Xadyu is harder, he vote BBB banana and for all appearances seems to be acting townie. The only thing I can say for him is that he is not suspicious. And
because of that, I think he is suspicious. For someone who gets kicks out of confusing people to not try and even subtly troll says much much more than a few random statements.
@
Daytime vigilante - Right now, the mafia is down one and could be potentially down two. This is the single most important phase in this game. A single townie has not died, the mafia have lost a member and this is why I am going to ask the
daytime vigilante to think carefully and use his one shot power and eliminate one of these two members.
The consequences of getting this right are vast and this is the best time to use your ability. We can paralyse the mafia here and now without the death of a
single townie. It will also mean that the method I used work and the lilkiehood of the second person being mafia is much higher.
Simply put, if you choose someone and he is mafia, and we lynch the second person and he is mafia we have essentially destroyed the mafia in a matter of two phases. Something unheard of. Think about it.
tldr: Xad and Piru are mafia. Daytime vigilante, kill one of them. We lynch the other,

PROFIT
