@FAOT: Our mod has revealed something interesting about how voting works today. In particular, he confirmed that we have a "Reversed Lynch". It is only because of this that I have voted for you. As I am also confirmed town, I obviously wouldn't vote for another confirmed town without divine guidance.

by **weiyaoli** » Sat Nov 26, 2011 4:29 pm UTC

Why have we split our votes so much?

2 votes on webby and 2 on FAOT.

Why are we not voting for the clearly more suspicious mpolo/bantler? I'm finding bantler so suspicious right now. I'm also pretty sure mpolo is scum of some kind right now.

Sigh I guess I need to place a vote down:

Vote: webby

since FAOT is confirmed town.

Funnest Votals for Most Fun Peoples

mpolo 1(bantler)
GoP 1 (Silknor)
webby 3 (GoP, FAOT, weiy)
FAOT 2 (mpolo, webby)

Deadline is whenever La~~ck-of-fun~~taro said it is.

In a little over 5 hours.

Some people just can't handle time...

Webby is cool man. Mpolo and FAOT are scuzz'n up the joint.
It's not cool for you to try to kill webby. Town will lose if he gets lynched.
Maybe you're cool with that though...

unvote: mpolo
vote: FAOT

Under Protest.
Not my preferred order of scum lynch. Expect mpolo to make a last second swap.
We are playing against Apathy and Bastardy.

Something tells me bantler may have broke the rules, with regards to talking about the unfun game (on several occassions now).

I'd say you are all effectively doomed.

Especially you, GoP.

Tied at three each for webby and FAOT.

31 minutes til dead line.

edit: and some other votes that won't matter, too lazy to include them for a game I'm not modding though.

Day 3 is over.

Night 3 starts now.

Flavor when that bum gets on to make some.

Oh, yeah...

Webby is lynched.

by **roband** » Mon Nov 28, 2011 9:37 am UTC

Flavour is provided each 'morning', not at night. In this fun game, anyway!

by **roband** » Tue Nov 29, 2011 3:13 pm UTC

Bodies piling up now. Wind died down, almost complete quietness in the building.

webby was lynched, he was a cop, town. He was INSANE.

This was really getting tense. The bad guys knew that the depleted numbers meant there was a chance they'd be found out easier. The good guys - just in shock at all these cops dying.

mpoli is dead. He was the front desk clerk, town. He was SANE.

There's some irony as the shotgun is seen, still warm and the cartridges smoking, rested underneath the NO SMOKING signs adorning the station. Not that anyone was in the mood to make jokes about this situation.

5 players alive, so that's 3 to lynch. Get going

by **bantler** » Tue Nov 29, 2011 3:52 pm UTC

Scanned Silknor as scum. But webby is dead and should've been mafia, making me insane. Insanity is too good to double up so I’m pretty sure I’m crazy.
Nobody left but weiyaoli and Silknor and they’ve been arguing for mixed results the entire game. Too bad there’s nowhere left to hide.

Vote: Silknor

by **weiyaoli** » Tue Nov 29, 2011 5:36 pm UTC

Well I copped Silknor as scum, so that makes me paranoid for certain.

Vote will come when more people have posted, but not going to put someone at L-1 right now.

The other scum is probably bantler at this point

Crossing your fingers for a slippery hammer?
Webby's death confirms his scans of FAOT and GOP as innocent.

by **Gopher of Pern** » Tue Nov 29, 2011 10:17 pm UTC

Vote: bantler

Well played, you had me fooled.

So, I guess its a toss up between Silknor and weiyaoli. I still think Silknor, but we can wait til tomorrow to make the final decision.

Lynching me will be the final decision.

by **ForAllOfThis** » Wed Nov 30, 2011 1:18 am UTC

I guess we are looking at 4 different cops which makes bantler the best target for today. GoP, we should probably not rush into voting because I expect some sort of mechanic at work.

Mod: Any lynch mechanics we should know about for today?

by **Lataro** » Wed Nov 30, 2011 1:22 am UTC

Maybe

I've been pushing for 4 classic cops all game. Seems I pulled myself off the cliff.

by **Silknor** » Wed Nov 30, 2011 4:44 am UTC

I got a guilty result on weiyaoli, further increasing the probability that I'm paranoid (It's not guaranteed though, random is a possibility, though for whatever reason, it seems most here put little weight on the possibility of random, which seems like a dangerous assumption to make when the town is already ahead).

Yay for Lataro's fun answer! :/

There shouldn't be any ulterior motives today. You two just need to reach a consensus.

heh. thank god for preview I nearly lost twenty dollars and my self respect

by **ForAllOfThis** » Thu Dec 01, 2011 8:16 pm UTC

Vote: Bantler

by **Gopher of Pern** » Thu Dec 01, 2011 9:24 pm UTC

I know. I voted for Webby when I should have voted for you!

Still leaning on Silknor over Weiy as scum.

Silknor seems to think that town is ahead at this moment, when 1 mislynch will cause us to lose. Sure, we have a confirmed scum in bantler, but it still comes down to 50/50.

The only thing confirmed is that only one of us is sane. Roband spiked the punch to deter mass-claim.

You're a cop. You want those mafia bastards dead, whatever the cost. At the end of each hour, you can choose one player to investigate. You overheard a psychologist talking earlier in the week about how only 1/4 cops is actually sane, but that can't be true, you're sane... right?
Your win condition is to eliminate the scum faction.

Notice that wei was the first to speculate and "test" the lynch off of Silknor.

weiyaoli wrote:I think our main concern right now (since we've narrowed the scum down pretty much already) is the lynch bastardry that is unknown today. We've had common lynch and normal so reversed maybe?

To test:

Vote: BoomFrog

And again with the false "pretty much won" like Silknor.

by **weiyaoli** » Sun Dec 04, 2011 8:11 pm UTC

Well, there really seems to be zero point in having the day continue on since no-one except scum is commenting.

Vote: bantler

by **Lataro** » Tue Dec 06, 2011 3:00 pm UTC

No one has been lynched by my Kingmaker, Silknor.

You are all boring, that was a virtually non-existent day, post wise.

Be quick with stuff.

by **roband** » Wed Dec 07, 2011 6:25 pm UTC

Get your night actions in ASAP or risk being modkilled. That means YOU!

by **roband** » Thu Dec 08, 2011 3:24 pm UTC

No-one was lynched.
This unusual night was just getting weirder. As if being stuck in this police station wasn't enough, the shotgun appeared to have magical properties and would not act as commanded.

FAOT has been killed. He was the Ex-Confidential Informant, town. He was PARANOID.
Good reason to be paranoid too, still on the system as a bad guy, it didn't matter now he was missing half of his face.

4 people left now.
This can't be good for the cops, right? Whatever's going to go down, it's all up in the air...

by **Silknor** » Thu Dec 08, 2011 3:50 pm UTC

Now I feel bad. I'm still pretty sure GOP is scum, but kept putting off voting because it looked like everything was already locked in for the day so it didn't seem worthwhile to post. Irony's bite is cruel indeed.

Anyway, I investigated myself and got guilty.

I'm not going to make that same mistake again though! GOP has been trying to drive the discussion towards a particular endgame for the entirety of the game. He makes unwarranted assumptions, admitting he makes those only upon direct questioning. His analysis covers a small swath of possibilities, but he's only willing to go into the ones that "prove" he's town, and of course he waits to make any mention of this until all other results are in so he can pick the right result. Town does not do this. Town doesn't hide behind hand-waving and parlor games. Scum does.

Here's to hoping this is on a day where voting is normal enough for this to matter...

Vote: GOP

by **weiyaoli** » Thu Dec 08, 2011 4:08 pm UTC

Well GoP, I think it's obvious now beyond all doubt who the scum are.

No, cops can not investigate themselves.

Let's hope we can still win due to the lynch bastardry (somehow but I doubt it, since it would require both tied lynches to go our way)

Vote: Silknor

by **bantler** » Thu Dec 08, 2011 4:08 pm UTC

I’d written this game off after my horrific railroading yesterday. Small consolation in being half-right with my scumdar. But I’ll take it. There isn’t much meat on the bones of this thread.

Dead Webby is confirmed insane, and he scanned GOP as scum. But, there is a bad-cop:

You're a cop. But you're smarter than these other schmucks. You saw, early on in your career, that it was better to work with the mafia than against them. If investigated, you'll show up as town (you're good enough at being a dirty cop that you still look like a cop), to a sane cop at least.
Your win condition is to have your scum faction outnumber the town group.

This skewed Webby’s results as a double negative.
With a little bastardry we might still wrap this up.

If you would've night-killed Silknor you'd have this game tied up. Now it's a brawl.

by **Gopher of Pern** » Fri Dec 09, 2011 8:15 pm UTC

Silknor blatantly lied, and you still wanna go for me? Plus, why would scum kill anyone but FAOT, as they were the last totally absolutely confirmed town?

Not that it matters. I'm arguing against scum.

Silknor had to slip the lynch so many days he probably just sent his action and logged off until morning. He's likely neutered now, but you may still have something "up your sleeve".
The tiff isn’t fooling me.
