SirPrimalform: I can't stress enough how important it is that we don't try and influence Baz's choices. His power is more than just doc-blocking, he has the ability to mess with mafia's head. What you might think would be an obvious target for night killing might not be because of the chance it might be protected.
Just to point out that I have a one shot protect one shouldn't forget ;) Although I believe we should agree upon who I target with it.

Also on another note (in regards to SPF's posts about desired targets): I don't recommend protection of other persons than nmillar. I guess maybe also Baz - I could protect him for example?
While on the subject I don't believe I can protect myself with my ability unlike Baz -> So I need a target for it, unless I serve as a tracker?

bazilisek: Either we draw up a precise plan of who does what, like Zchinque did, or just jump in and hope for the best. Otherwise we can keep trying to second-guess each other ad infinitum.
Thanks Baz. at least someone understands that saying "jefe kills [whomever]" isn't a plan (and certainly not a cunning one).

Okay then, since many of you seem to have decided that I am scum, apparently mostly because "omg! plan will kill townies! oh noes!", here's a new plan.
Or rather, a revision of the old one, to make it more palatable to the logically challenged.

Today:
I hammer SPF

then:
If game is over, game is over. yay.
If I am scum and game is not over, you do whatever you wish.
If I am town and game is not over, you all act according to the following plan, and stick to it to a T.

Jefe kills R_B
R_B protects Jefe
Baz blocks nmillar
NFY cops Damnation or nmillar
Damnation and nmillar do nothing.

Then, if the game isn't over:

If 4 players come out alive:
nmillar is cleared due to being blocked on a night with two kills. Jefe is cleared for killing on yet another night where the mafia also kills. The other players will be two of (1)Damnation, (2)NFY, (3)Baz. Jefe and nmillar teams up with the player with the highest number alive among the three, and lynch the one with the lowest number.
If the game isn't over after that lynch, Jefe nightkills the remaining player of the three.

If 5 players come out alive:
Lynch nmillar. If the game still isn't over, Jefe kills Damnation, Baz Doc-blocks NFY. If the sun rises once more, lynch NFY.

And to go over all the possible scenarios once more:

I am scum
I die when hammering SPF.

SPF is scum
SPF dies when I hammer him.

nmillar is scum
He is blocked at night by Baz, and prevented from killing. He is then lynched the next morning.

R_B is scum
He is killed at night by Jefe. Who he kills does not matter.

Damnation is scum
Since nmillar and Jefe are protected, and R_B is already assigned to be killed by Jefe, he has three options: 1) Kill Baz 2) Kill NFY 3) Kill no one.
1) You wake up with four players left. There being two nightkills confirms nmillar as town, since he was blocked by Baz. nmillar, NFY, and Jefe Lynch Damnation.
2) You wake up with four players left. There being two nightkills confirms nmillar as town, since he was blocked by Baz. nmillar, Baz, and Jefe lynch Damnation.
3) You wake up with five players left. The lack of a non-Jefe nightkill points the finger squarely at nmillar, and he is promptly lynched. The game then goes to night with four players left, and Damnation is killed by Jefe.

NFY is scum
Since nmillar and Jefe are protected, and R_B is already assigned to be killed by Jefe, he has three options: 1) Kill Baz 2) Kill Damnation 3) Kill no one.
1) You wake up with four players left. There being two nightkills confirms nmillar as town, since he was blocked by Baz. nmillar, NFY, and Jefe lynch Damnation. Once night falls, Jefe kills NFY, and NFY kills whomever. The next day dawns with 1 townie alive.
2) You wake up with four players left. There being two nightkills confirms nmillar as town, since he was blocked by Baz. nmillar, Baz, and Jefe lynch NFY.
3) You wake up with five players left. The lack of a non-Jefe nightkill points the finger squarely at nmillar, and he is promptly lynched. The game then goes to night with four players left, and NFY is blocked by Baz. Once day rolls around, Baz and Jefe lynch NFY.

So, once I die you will see that I am town, and as such have no ill intent with this plan. I have already pointed out why it doesn't matter whether I'm town or not, but whatevs.

"But Zchinque," I hear you ask, "why didn't you suggest this iteration of the plan in the first place then?"
Two reasons:
I have already shown that it doesn't matter if I'm scum or town for the plan to succeed.
And frankly, there are several among you that I don't trust to stick to the plan, if I'm not there to pester you. As such I would have preferred being alive tomorrow.

However, me being alive isn't necessary for the plan to function, so I offer you this version.

@people who are still going to scream about how we risk the life of some townies:
Yes, and? That's not a flaw in the plan. If you don't like the plan, poke some logical holes in it, rather than just stand there spouting nonsense.
@NFY: My apologies for again referring to you as "he". I noticed the error the last time, but forgot to correct it in this post, which was mostly copy/paste.

Zchinque: ...
Honestly? I can't find any flaws... If other smarter/more observant people don't find any flaws I'm prepared to go along with this. The main reason for my suspicion of you is how quickly you jumped on Baz's double lynch plan, but if you are scum I can't see you gaining anything this way.

SirPrimalform: The main reason for my suspicion of you is how quickly you jumped on Baz's double lynch plan, but if you are scum I can't see you gaining anything this way.
As far as I read it, I agree with you. The only way he can gain something from this plan if he is scum (or has some scummy intend, no clue what that would be), is if there was two mafias. But in that case: If he turns scum I doubt his plan would be followed.

So yes, I like the revised version. Just one thing: I would like you Zchinque to post the scene for the remaining people not considered in he is scum thing. I consider them very unlikely candidates, but for all sake we need to be certain. Those remaining being: Jef and Baz.

Other than that I have no trouble with the plan. To prove it -> vote Zchinque (although I believe you more town now ;) Though still less town than Damnation).

Oh and if the remaining mafia somehow wins this.. I say well played indeed.

I hadn't actually gone through the scenarios for them being scum, I just assumed that would mean an auto-loss for the town. Not quite so, as it turns out.
The possible scenarios are much more complex than if any of the other six players are mafia. Going through them has been a very interesting, but also mentally very draining, challenge.

If Baz is scum
I won't actually go through the possible lines of play if Baz is scum. The reason for this is simple - If Baz is scum and makes all the right decisions, there is no way he can lose. If he makes a wrong decision at some point, there is a chance the town can nail him. As such, in the unlikely event that Baz is mafia, I don't want to hand him the win - I'd rather give the town a sliver of a fighting chance. All I can say is that you should stick to the plan as it is laid out, until you notice something is off. If you do, kill Baz. However, make very, very sure that you know what you're doing. If you think something is off, analyze the situation, go through all the possibilities. Only if it doesn't add up should you kill Baz.
That said, if Baz is scum, all the info he needs is out in the open, so I would expect him to win.

Jefe is scum
If Jefe is scum, he is a Serial Killer. In that case there is one mafia and one serial killer left against the town. So all the above scenario are possible permutations.
However! If at any time a dead scum shows up and the game doesn't end. Immediately lynch Jefe. If the scum turns up dead to a lynch, Baz should block Jefe the following night. As long as the last mafa isn't among the last three players alive, SK-Jefe can't win. Actually, let's go through all the permutations to make sure my point comes across.

I am mafia
I die today when I hammer SPF. It's unlikely that you will then follow this plan, but I'll still list it for posterity.
Baz should immediately switch from the proposed plan, and block Jefe. Then the town lynch Jefe next morning for a town win.

SPF is mafia
He dies when I hammer him. Baz switches targets and blocks Jefe. You lynch Jefe in the morning for a town win.

R_B is mafia
R_B is killed at night by Jefe. Since the game isn't over, you lynch Jefe in the morning for a town win.

nmillar is mafia
Nmillar is blocked by Baz, and lynched in the morning. Once he turns up scum and the game isn't over, Baz blocks Jefe the following night. Jefe is then lynched in the morning for a scum win.

Damnation is mafia
Since nmillar and Jefe are protected, and R_B is already assigned to be killed by Jefe, he has three options: 1) Kill Baz 2) Kill NFY 3) Kill no one.
1) You wake up with four players left. There being two nightkills confirms nmillar as town, since he was blocked by Baz. nmillar, NFY, and Jefe Lynch Damnation. Once he flips mafia and the game isn't over, the town is screwed since Baz is dead. Jefe picks off either nmillar or NFY for a SK win.
2) You wake up with four players left. There being two nightkills confirms nmillar as town, since he was blocked by Baz. nmillar, Baz, and Jefe lynch Damnation. Once he flips mafia and the game isn't over, Baz blocks Jefe at night. There will be no nightkill. nmillar and Baz lynch Jefe in the morning for a town win.
3) You wake up with five players left. The lack of a non-Jefe nightkill points the finger squarely at nmillar, and he is promptly lynched. The game then goes to night with four players left, and Damnation is killed by Jefe. In this case, Damnation's choice for a kill has meaningful implications. He can kill either 3a) Jefe or 3b) Baz (NFY is protected by Baz, see "NFY is scum scenario")
3a) Both SK-Jefe and mafia-Damnation show up dead in the morning. Town win.
3b) Mafia-Damnation and Baz show up dead in the morning. SK-Jefe wins a two-man endgame vs. NFY.

NFY is mafia
Since nmillar and Jefe are protected, and R_B is already assigned to be killed by Jefe, he has three options: 1) Kill Baz 2) Kill Damnation 3) Kill no one.
1) You wake up with four players left. There being two nightkills confirms nmillar as town, since he was blocked by Baz. nmillar, NFY, and Jefe lynch Damnation. Once night falls, Jefe kills NFY, and NFY kills either 1a) Jefe or 1b) nmillar
1a) SK-Jefe and Mafia-NFY both show up dead in the morning. Nmillar claims the win for the town.
1b) Mafia-NFY and nmillar both show up dead in the morning. Jefe claims the SK-win.
2) You wake up with four players left. There being two nightkills confirms nmillar as town, since he was blocked by Baz. nmillar, Baz, and Jefe lynch NFY. Once NFY flips mafia and the game isn't over, Baz blocks Jefe. nmillar and Baz lynch Jefe in the morning for a town win.
3) You wake up with five players left. The lack of a non-Jefe nightkill points the finger squarely at nmillar, and he is promptly lynched. The game then goes to night with four players left, and NFY is blocked by Baz. Once day rolls around, Baz and Jefe lynch NFY. Then the result is up to the mod. He can either declare the game a draw, as neither player can lynch the other, and Baz can block Jefe forever, or he can give Jefe the SK-win in a two-man endgame. Which option he chooses probably depends on the very exact wording of SK-Jefe's win condition.

[i]Baz is mafia
I won't go through the exact scenarios, for reasons stated above, but in the unlikely event that Baz is mafia and Jefe is SK, the town can't win. No way, no how.

So, if Jefe is SK:
If the last mafia is one of: Myself, SPF, R_B or nmillar -> The Town wins.
If the last mafia is: Baz -> The Town loses.
If the last mafia is: Damnation or NFY -> The mafia can't win, but get to play kingmaker and decide whether the Town wins, or Jefe wins.

NOTE!
I consider going through these scenarios as an intellectual challenge. They are not and should not be used as strong points to not follow the plan laid out.
I am virtually certain that Baz is town. If he isn't, frankly, he deserves the scum win.
I'm not as certain about Jefe being town, but almost. Him being SK seems very unlikely to me, due to game balance.

@Damnation & NFY: If you are mafia, you can't win if the town goes through with this plan. However, on the off-chance that Jefe is a Serial Killer, there is the possibility that you get to play kingmaker. It is then fully and completely up to you who wins. Make the right decision.
erg...I can't even begin to wrap my poor right-sided brain around that plan. Guess I'll just serve as a pawn for this one :P

Zchinque: nmillar is mafia
Nmillar is blocked by Baz, and lynched in the morning. Once he turns up scum and the game isn't over, Baz blocks Jefe the following night. Jefe is then lynched in the morning for a scum win.
This should of course read "Jefe is then lynched in the morning for a town win.

I blame lack of sleep and the exhaustion my poor brain went through working all them scenarios over.

Yeah, I saw that and I was like "wait...what?"
Thanks for the post Zchinque.

This makes a very interesting conclusion for me.. Because if I go solely by my own reads then I by now consider: Zchinque, SPF, Myself and nmillar town. Hence none of them is mafia.. This means that we have either the Baz win if scum scene or the Damnation/NFY scene. Since I also consider Damnation to be town, it comes down to NFY and Baz (still following the scenes from Zchinque).

That gives a 50/50 condition for town win -> With Jef being serial it is then a 33.33 to each outcome. So actually if I was to go by my own feelings in regards of these scenes I would lynch Baz :P Since that would ensure town win :P But sadly, I am not alone in this game and other people's opinion matter as well. Hence I believe we're moving forward with this plan. As I can agree to it, though I have a nagging feeling in the back of my head - of which I hope to be wrong :)

And as I failed my vote before: vote Zchinque (first time voting for someone I am rather certain is town, unless he just wants to make a final bluff :P)

Perhaps if they lynch you by accident I'll spontaneously combust out of sympathy.
