Sorry for the double post:
That would mean Game Over if there could be a mafia kill tonight.
This is, of course, complete rubbish if there were only ever 3.5 mafia.
Everybody loves the papoola.Well, When I originally got the role, I assumed Dubya was screwing with me.
I've been unsure of what to say, because the information I've been given has been potentially useful, but I've wasted it. I'm rather embarassed about that.
I find this quite bizarre. Runtime voted on Page 2 of the game.
In his very first post.
Now, I forgot my role limitations in my first post as well, so I can't really blame him if that's what happened.
but it seems odd to me that Runtime, a normally pretty astute player, would waste a once-in-a-game decision on a first-post random-ish vote..
I asked runtime about this, and said he was just really shitted off about the whole thing and figured a random guess early on was as good as anything.
I think this is why he was happy to be replaced.
re. make-up of final 4:
I don't think we'd have 2 mafia left, to unbalanced with antacid's role as well.
I understand if I was mafia, my lack of vote could explain us continuining with 2 mafia, but i'm not mafia so I'm ruling that out.
Which means we must have an s.k.
I don't see any evidence for a serial killer at all.
Of course you'd say that ![]()
For everyone else though we have 2 extra kills and someone claiming vig, which is all well and good for an s.k to claim ![]()
but then, if you were a s.k, they usually have unlimited kills.... grr.
is it possible you are a vig, and we also have 1 mafia, and an s.k?
either way, i'm thinking thalasso is the mafia.
carmine's claim of the jury has been untested, but she may have been hoping it was entirely dubya's doing allowing her the free claim.
I was very suspicious of thalasso's quick vote of adapa at the end of the day, which he never really explained satisfactorily.
Can't really ask for a sig and then not have one now, can i?but then, if you were a s.k, they usually have unlimited kills.... grr.
Well, tbh, you only have my word for that too.
is it possible you are a vig, and we also have 1 mafia, and an s.k?
It's possible if the serial killer hasn't killed at all this game.
I don't buy that, really.
The town wouldn't be doing its job if it didn't consider the possibility that I was a SK masquerading as a Vigilante.
The problem is, I'm not sure what I can say that'd convince you I'm not.
I can't even say 'But look! I chased the mafia godfather!' because that's probably what a SK would do too ![]()
I don't really think a SK fits with the theme though.
Also, if you look at all the roles that have been uncovered so far, and at all the flavour text, there have been no hints whatsoever that any kind of SK is present.
Nor have there been any SK red herring characters, wheras there was a mafia red herring in the shape of Tryghul's Becky Harper.
As far as Thalasso is concerned, I'm pretty damned sure he's mafia.
His claim is one that is contrived to not clash with anyone else's.
If he was really a townie sitting on real info going into what could be the last day, he would've said it immediately.
He would have been anxious to prove his innocence because he'd want to win.
He didn't reveal his info quickly because he didn't even have it until my premature claim.
Being 'embarrassed about it' doesn't cover it.
The thing is, if you really believe me to be a SK, the last thing you should do is lynch him. ![]()
Right, because it's not possible for me to have basically ignored this game, played poorly, and having realized this, be feeling rather foolish that I've been playing this way.
Right, that's not possible at all.
Then again, another explanation is that I was too bloody lazy to open 4 seperate posts, copy the text, paraphase to avoid modquotes and then repost them, with my thoughts.
Especially if I didn't see any value in the damn scraps of information I'd been fed. They seemed useless to me, until after I'd read your post.
Anyways Tick, you want an answer why I voted like that? It seemed right. There was the thing with Carmine. Lynching Haug would have left plenty of questions, but lynching Adapa would have answered some.
They seemed useless to me...
If you are truly a townie, you would have realised that they were all you ever had to prove your innocence.
This is the most interesting one to me:
The fourth night, I was interview by Paranoia, but before the interview could finish, I heard a shotgun blast. Haug was splattered.
Haug's death desc. doesn't explicitly mention a shotgun.
Your 'information' tells you that Haug was killed by the same person as killed Mysteek which wasn't evident otherwise.
Perhaps that wouldn't strike a mafia player as so important.
It also has an interesting contradiction with Paranoia's role desc:
[Paranoia] could follow a player and see if they were out and about...
Paranoia followed people, he didn't interview people.
Right, because it's not possible for me to have basically ignored this game...
Oh, that's entirely possible.
But if you'd been ignoring a game you voluntarily signed up for then you would deserve to be lynched simply for being a twat.
The thing is, you haven't been ignoring the game (see the 'odd ideas forming the sides of my brain.' post and others), you've been lurking.
Everybody loves the papoola.Hm, I've just thought of something that, for me, punches a hole through Thalasso. Araltaln said that he knew I was in all night on night 1, but I had no clue how he'd gathered this information (presumably by lurking outside my house). But Thalasso's bizarre information gathering implies that the information that his role gathered was about Haug, and the information that he was given as a result of Araltaln/Paranoia's role was that he was interviewed. So... I'm becoming more and more convinced that Thalasso is the remaining scum.
I don't really have time to post all this at the moment, but Daegul's comment here made me angry.
And finally, Carmine, who was all so ready to lynch Adapa when it looked like he'd been fingered.
But the next day, when it looked like he might wriggle out of it, she was mighty reluctant to vote, even after everyone had posted.
I was extremely ready to lynch Adapa (remember, for me, Antacid's information was confirmable via what he'd revealed about me) on that day. However, the next day, you are forgetting that it only required <i>three</i> votes, so of course I was extremely reluctant to vote until we'd talked it out properly. With probably at least two bad guys left, it seemed ridiculous to do otherwise. Extremely reluctant to vote? Yes, when a misplaced vote could've lost us the game ![]()
And don't forget that I was the one that had the case posted to the thread in the first place. Read it. Doesn't it sound like me and my writing style? Do you really think that it's a mod-created set-piece? Because IMO that would be ridiculously unbalanced ![]()
Carmine was also very eager to suggest the 'lynch a townie' idea before we'd even established the presence of a serial killer.
I was very eager because the mind-games (that I outlined earlier) sprang to mind: the bad guys trying to convince us to lynch them, but not to actually go through with it. And the reason I sounded eager was that everyone else flat out ignored the maths I was presenting ![]()
I am wildly swinging between the idea that Daegul as SK and Daegul as Vigilante.
Bah, so much for "not enough time to post". *back to work*
Hi Colonic: In a game run by Carmine, with 9 people, how many killing groups would you expect there to be? Mono: 10you are forgetting that it only required <i>three</i> votes, so of course I was extremely reluctant to vote until we'd talked it out properly.
Actually, yes, I had completely forgotten that it only required three on the next day.
I was somewhat blinded by the combination of being sure Adapa was evil and being incredibly stubborn.
I really didn't want the mod-kills to give Adapa breathing room and my stubborn head was searching for reasons why anyone would be reluctant to lynch him :wink:
Right now, the only right choice for me is to vote Thalasso.
I'm a spent, two-shot vigilante but I guess it's up to Carmine and Tick to decide whether they believe me or not.
Well, I had planned to log in this morning and Vote Daegul on the grounds that he was being way too agressive.
However, I had to catch my bus and ended up just scraping the post.
I know I'm a townie, but I'm not sure how to convince other people of this fact. Getting mad at Daegul probably won't help, since he's likely being agressive because he's a townie who feels guilty for managing to kill the wrong people. Justifiably angry perhaps.
Perhaps the smart move would be to vote for Tick, because to some degree, Carmine is somewhat cleared, and assuming Daegul isn't lying, then he's cleared also. Makes sense, to some degree.
I can't think of a way to prove myself as a townie, so I'm not sure how to proceed.
I'm also really angry at myself for ranting about how Thalasso should've realised that his info could prove his claim when I hadn't thought that I'd need something to prove I'm not a serial killer. ![]()
God only knows what would've achieved that though. :?
Everybody loves the papoola.Perhaps the smart move would be to vote for Tick, because to some degree, Carmine is somewhat cleared, and assuming Daegul isn't lying, then he's cleared also. Makes sense, to some degree.
This is one of the dodgiest statements i've ever seen.
Carmine has claimed an action that no-one has questioned, given, but that says nothing abuot her allignment ( puttnig adapa up does go a bit towards it though)
that said, carmine is the only one I am happy to accept is a townie.
Dude, we are all cleared if you assume we aren't lying... that is a ridiculous thing to say.
I realised today at work, that I probably could have voted yesterday. Dubya said something about other vote/posting restrictions being discounted for the day, I wish i'd thought more about it at the time.
I've also realised that with me being unable to vote, it is going to be hard to get a majority without me voting, perhaps dubya is willing to make an acception in this case, as the way I see it, it is impossible for the town to win unless I vote.
I'm awaiting confirmation from dubya on the matter.
Can't really ask for a sig and then not have one now, can i?Tick, what I meant is that I have minor confirmation of Daegul, based on the shotgun bit. Therefore, assuming he isn't a serial killer, you're the obvious choice to vote for.
Or have I missed something regarding Carmine & Adapa?
Any role related questions will be addressed in private.
dubya has pm'd me that yes I could indeed have voted yesterday, but as for today it is up to me to figure out.
screw you dubya.
carmine: what do you think?
Daegul may be an s.k, but he may have also been telling the truth about the 2-shot thing in that situation.
Whatever the case, i think he is the lesser of our concerns with thalasso being the last mafia, and so I think we should vote him.
I am willing to throw on the last vote and hope dubya
a: lets it count, we lynch thalasso, game over we win.
or
b: lets it count, but perhaps kills me as a result, game over we win.
and actually now that I think about it,
c: kills me as a result, the vote doesn't count, but the town now only has 3 people in it giving he majority of 2. thalasso dies, we win.
Why are people trying to lynch me? I'm a townie. I'm sewer worker, but I'm a townie just the same.
Thalasso, the answer to your question is all throughout the thread of this day.
I hate pressurised number-games like this.
If Daegul is a SK, then we should go no lynch or lynch a townie.
If Daegul is not a SK and Thalasso is the last remaining mafia, we should lynch him (either with Tick's vote, or by just Daegul and I voting and requesting a deadlined end of day?).
If Daegul is not a SK and Tick is the last remaining mafia, we should lynch him.
If Daegul is not a SK and I am the last remaining mafia, etc. etc.
I've just been back and read the thread with a "Thalasso is mafia" type idea in my head, and it fits much more than when I read with a "Runtime/Tick is mafia" (apart from my obvious assumption that Runtime is _always_ evil
). There's the dubious
I wonder if the reason behind Tryghul's murder was related to my arguement with him? An attempt to throw suspicion on me perhaps? or is that being a tad paranoid...?
Which even at the time caught some eyes as a bit "look at me! I must be innocent" even though nobody had noticed the argument. There was the hypersensitivity to getting "more than his share of bashing". There was the hopping from LP onto Adapa at an early sign of his teammate going down... And that's all before day 3.
Screw it. If Runtime/Tick's evil then so be it, well played. Vote: Thalasso.
Hi Colonic: In a game run by Carmine, with 9 people, how many killing groups would you expect there to be? Mono: 10ok time to risk it.
vote thalasso
Just checking in, really. Nothing new to say, except that I agree that if Runtime/Tick is indeed evil, he's done a fantastic job of hiding it.
I've just started a new job, so I'm a little tentative about using the internet.
I also have no internet connection to speak of from home either, so I'll next check in tomorrow lunchtime.
vote count
Thalasso 3 (Daegul, Carmine, tick)
3 to lynch
As the session commences today, the four of you stare at each other. You decided to just tell each other what you do, and hopefully figure which is the mafia. Everyone has their turn, but you all start when Thalasso mentions he digs sewers. What? A common pleb? Surely this can't be. Thalasso begs, saying he really is and even saw Haug one night, but you disbelieve. The three of you grab him and hang him from a tree. Lynched, just like the mafia scum he is.
Satisfied, you turn to retire for the evening when you hear a gun cock behind you. "Not so fast," says tick. "Now that there's only two of you, I want to let you know something. Thalasso was just a poor young man, a hard worker, the son of Irish immigrants. I, on the other hand, am mafia." He quickly shoots the two of you dead and calls the cops. The corrupt police clear away the bodies and never charge him. Why should they? The mafia always prevails in Chicago.
