Hot Potato Mafia - Game Over

[q21]

Well since its a method by which you may very well kill someone having a reason for your choice of target seems like a good idea.

@ssf - why would the mods give the same thing two different names?

[kuribo]

Because they're not the same thing.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yam_(vegetable)
The sweet potato (Ipomoea batatas) has traditionally been referred to as a "yam" in parts of the southern United States and Canada even though it is not part of the Dioscoreaceae family.


http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sweet_potato
The sweet potato is only distantly related to the potato (Solanum tuberosum). It is commonly called a yam in parts of North America, although they are only very distantly related to the other plant widely known as yams) (in the Dioscoreaceae family), which is native to Africa and Asia.


Also, pointing out that we clearly have duplicate potatoes in the game--- if the mods wanted another Sweet Potato, they'd... you know... CALL IT A SWEET POTATO.

Throw Baked Russet Potato TSS

someone give him the other potato, I wanna see him juggle all three

[Crazy]

Lol, this whole time I was thinking TSS exploded, not Luigi. So... that's why I was thinking that Kuribo wasn't likely scum.

Yeah, just to clarify since looking back my reasoning doesn't make much sense now.

Dropkick Yellow Potato to Wizardcat

It makes sense, you only have to switch the names of the characters around. TSS isn't likely to be scum, as things look right now.

I suspect the sweet potato yesterday (and possibly the yam today) was tied to an absolute timer and functioned like a deadline for the day (as opposed to the potato which blew up after being held by a particular person for three days).

Coheed, Flea, what the hell?

Riceball:

I have to have a reason now?

Yes, you do.

Judging by the fact that it blew up at the moment kuribo threw it... I doubt the timer idea. Unless its the first throw after X amount of time.

[Rally Vincent]

We should be careful with the Baked Russet Potato... will a "baked" (compared with a not "baked") Russet Potato hold out longer or shorter?

[M4yhem]

Longer, based on yesterday.

We don't really know of course.

Ricetailball- Yes, you need a reason. So much for getting you to play properly. Even with the potato, you don't try to play mafia.

Day Two Potato Tracking Count #3

the silent speaker had felt pretty good after seemingly killing a Godfather. He felt less good after exploding shortly thereafter.

the silent speaker, Spudsmith, Potato-Gunsmith, has been killed by a Baked Russet Potato on Monday, at 8:51 am CDT.

• Wizardcat is in possession of a Yellow Potato.

[somestrangeflea]

...

Where'd the Yam go!?

[Crazy]

That was the same time that Coheed threw it to him.

[Rally Vincent]

...

Where'd the Yam go!?

Baked Russet Potato went off after one (!) throw. It must have been the Yam that triggered it, considering that even the Insatnt Potato took two throws to explode.

[CoheedCambria09]

huh, so that sucks, because I thought it would take alot longer. Is a potato gun-smith a vig or something?

[M4yhem]

Sounds like one, yah.

[somestrangeflea]

A gunsmith is a type of "Flavor Cop", who determines whether or not their targets hold guns. Generally speaking, Mafia, Vigs and Cops have guns, whereas SKs wouldn't.

Maybe if you're holding more than one, they both blow up?

And why did you guys keep throwing stuff to TSS? I mean, the case for him being town was pretty clear.

[CoheedCambria09]

I'll be first to admit a mistake, I had forgotten he was the one who had killed LG.

[q21]

I do remember saying earlier that every time you throw a Potato you should be ready to kill the person you target. CC09 has just displayed how true that is.

[Korts]

CC09 seems pretty scummy right now. I'm not sure I buy his "I didn't realize" defense.

[kuribo]

Especially after there was a fair amount of discussion about his killing LG.

CC09, did you actually read anything or just start tossing potatoes?

[CoheedCambria09]

Ok guys, I'll repent for my sins. Real Vote (as in bold) and when a lynch has been reached hopefully I can make up for my actions.
