End Game Contract Killer Mafia II - Contract Killer has Performed his Kill!!

[RUDI]

Pretty hard to get a read on @RUDI , although tbf he said he was gonna be a little reserved

Apologies, though times. Busy with strategies on cutbacks at work, starting with my staff. Really shitty position to be in tbh.

I am still actively reading here. AliB and Villain is my focus point at the moment.

Understand completely.

Pretty sure the Killer lynched MB, why would he not. These are the ones who lynched him, including me:
CK, Ashutosh, Rudi, AliB, Villain.

Ashutosh - He seemed fishy to me at the start, but the town will probably get it why he can’t be the Killer.

AliB - First one to lynch him, without any valid reason. He has not been active enough to have a good read on him. But I don’t think he’s the one.

Rudi - Not active enough, null read on him. He’s experienced enough to know if stays under the radar being a Killer he’d be gone.

CK - There’s no doubt he gave he his best, put in a lot of efforts to help the town but out of all these if feel he’s the one. I don’t know why but I just saw his post asking “can we start” it could well be an excitement to start the game but to me it sounds he has a PR.

For me it’s between CK and Rudi, and in the worst case scenario Alib. Leaning towards CK for now.

Care to elaborate on that? His vote was the hammer, so he should be the most suspicious based on that alone.

If I were a killer, I would hammer MB right there. But I didn't. He already had 4 lynches. But I posted this (quoted post) and waited for his reply.

Yes. May be you are the killer and you thought of claiming yourself as killer so that everyone thinks that the killer will never claim as killer and this will clear your name as bodyguard.

I hammered him when I saw that he didn't know the VIP.

I was simply excited to start the game, as this was an unusual setup. That is a very weird reason to suspect me. If i was the Killer, i would've been much quieter, looking for clues, instead of posting this much, and asking others to post.
Tbh, I don’t have any read on Rudi, but his frustration at MB gives Town vibes, but can’t clear him Town unless he posts more (if he can, of course)
AliB's "talk in code" suggestion can seem very suspicious, but there's a 50-50 chance in my mind that he was trying to help the BGs, rather than getting them to reveal the VIP. His posts after that have been a little enigmatic, but that's how he usually plays, whether Town or Mafia. So could be either way.

 

[Yash.]

You are seriously accusing someone who questioned your ridiculous claim to be the Killer?
Unlynch
Lynch : Master Bates

He said that because he was accusing me (whether as a joke or seriously, I don’t know) of being the Killer.
The "considering your role" was an effort on my part to make the Killer think that MB was the VIP, and waste the shot on him.

My suspicion on CK is starting to grow more and more.

At first, when MB claimed, he said that it was a stupid claim considering his role, to which he says that he wanted to confuse the KILLER that MB is a VIP. This meant that he was somewhat sure that MB was not the killer.

But then after his defence, he flipped the other way. What I think is, he saw that MB was being targeted, and would soon be lynched.

Also, for the activity part, as @Villain said for Rudi that he had the experience to know that staying low as a killer could get him lynched, same applies for CK too. He is also an experienced player, so he also knows that if he lays low, he would get lynched.

I cannot elaborate it, as I said previously the town will get it why he can’t be the one.

That’s fair enough, you’ve been hunting for the one, that ‘can we start’ was a gut feeling. Obviously no solid evidence to lynch you, the two others either. You’ve been very active too but the list is down to the three I mentioned:
CerealKiller
Rudi

Worst case scenario:
AliB

Asprin and Yash did not lynch MB. Master stroke if anyone of them is a killer. Highly unlikely though.

 

[RUDI]

Only strategy I can think of at the moment is to keep on digging, stay active.
We technically have two days before we have to lynch anyone, so stay calm keep digging, the killer will eventually slip up.

Lynch CerealKiller

The killer can go one of two ways: A) Remain silent B) be highly active and sow confusion

I think in this case it's B , MB did mess up we all know that. But pushing too hard with the kind of setup can easily get others to jump on the wagon.
@CerealKiller did you start the wagon on MB? And did you advocate for him to get lynched?

I was somewhat sure that MB wasn’t the Killer, because why would be claim to be? (Fake Passport did something similar in the last game, claiming to be VIP when he wasn’t)
So i tried to confuse the Killer that he was the VIP. I lynched him later because the Killer clearly didn’t fall for it, and i got frustrated after reading his posts.

@CerealKiller did you start the wagon on MB? And did you advocate for him to get lynched?

Actually, Villain and you lynched him before me. And curiously, you’re once again the second on the wagon.

The killer can go one of two ways: A) Remain silent B) be highly active and sow confusion

I think in this case it's B

When did i sow confusion? I have been questioning people, posting my reads and thoughts.
FOS : Rudi

Contradictory posts in a single post. Why lynch someone if you are sure?

And curiously, you’re once again the second on the wagon

Once again?
My lynch was purely a pressing lynch, the others lynched too quickly after me. By the time I got back online Ashutosh hammered him.[DOUBLEPOST=1586516064,1586515511][/DOUBLEPOST]

@PresidentEvil

Ashutosh is confirmed town IMO here. His eagerness to see if the lynch was successful on the killer confirms it.

 

[CerealKiller]

Not contradictory at all. I thought we were better off without a BG who played like that, so i lynched him, after reading his posts following his fake claim.

Once again?

You're the second to lynch me, and you were the second to lynch MB.

Ashutosh is confirmed town IMO here. His eagerness to see if the lynch was successful on the killer confirms it.

So you didn’t clear him after what Villain mentioned?

Ashutosh - He seemed fishy to me at the start, but the town will probably get it why he can’t be the Killer.

Got what I wanted from pressing CK
