Day 5 - herp derp

[spoit]

So, like I posted in the thread 7 people left. Probably 2 who are mafia. And who knows if there is even a ringo to get killed by Alegis via Darian.

Worst case scenario, we kill a villager with the vote, and the mafia hit the other 2 villagers, leaving it 2 v 2, probably a mafia auto-win, depending on tie resolution mechanics (and self guard mechanics).

If they do have a reliable 2 kills, even with Alegis dead. Infidel, what do you think the odds are that they'd go fishing with one of them on you, now that indfidel is dead?

I personally think the odds are pretty high, and if they do target both of us, I personally think keeping you alive might be give the village a better chance given how suspicious I am. In that scenario, hopefully we'd block a kill, leaving it at 3 v 2, worst case...which would be a mafia win, even if you peg both of them

But speaking in terms of less gloomy possibilities, say we hit a mafia tonight. Then, at worst, it's 3v1, which is still distinctly winnable, in which case, your superior reasoning skills and not being suspicious would be more valuable than my self guard?

Hmm, how silly an idea would it be to have you giving a post vote close (or given how inactive this game is, and how quickly rend posts narrations, close to day end) reveal that I was seered as a guard? To (hopefully) keep me from being wagoned if it comes down to another day.

EDIT: actually, that might not be a bad gambit, if we can get them to try to target me and waste a kill. Maybe if we claim I'm some other other role that would prevent a straight out mafia victory, like a vote manipulator or something?

Also, rend clarified that ties are resolved by the first to reach the tied number

Vagrant_winds!

derp herp?

WHEEEEE

(right before vote close)

maybe someone from reserves is now secretly in? That would be pretty crazy though. Maybe someone's role is that they get multiple roles? I love wild speculation!

Love

Hokey religions and ancient weapons are no match for a good blaster at your side, !38thDoe

Great, kid. Don't get cocky.

Uh, we had a slight weapons malfunction, but uh... everything's perfectly all right now. We're fine. We're all fine here now, thank you. How are you?

And the inactivity question? If zellpher is mafia and able to deflect attention by being invisible, I'm going to be...unhappy

Watch the wisecracks, kid, or you're gonna find yourself floating home! I'm nobody's straight-man, not on my own ship... We'll be safe enough once we make the jump to hyperspace.

So...pretty obvious he's hinting that he's han solo, but that may be a ruse. Has he done that before?

Tayrun's posts:

What is this I don't even !38thDoe you are not helping my bafflement!

38thDoe I take it all back, Zandracon's avatar is really the worst possible thing for comprehension. Worst. Possible. Thing.

Yeah why not 38thDoe.

A vote for Spoit's avatar is always tempting, I agree. I very nearly did. Then Zand's avatar was my avatar.

Not on, Zandracon. Not on. Just not cricket, old chap.

Yeah, no. I'm not getting on a Infidel's latest bandwagon after nothing more than the waving of his hands.

Spoit, sorry, I'm not totally convinced by Langly's argument but it's the best one presented so far. Plus every time I scroll past your avatar it distracts me.

[spoit]

Langly's posts:

Alegis that avatar is awesome.

!Phyphor

His box spells Ringo's doom

when life gives you lemons, take those lemons and burn the guys' house down

with the lemons

I know there was a problem with ringo, funnily enough, where it was seeing ringo instead of another person's name, or maybe the other way around?

I am confused

usually when I am confused, I vote Ringo, but that won't really work here. I'll vote !Spoit instead.

I just found out what 38thdoe's name means, it makes so much more sense now.

Alegis killed by alegis is so great.

So if bond was our secret agent, I wonder who the mafia secret agent was?

what mafia secret agent

well villagers are being killed by a secret agent, I am assuming that it is a mafia dude

I have only Ringo's best interests at heart! Assuming Alegis wouldn't kill innocents is my only crime!

!Balefuego for a spurious accusation.

I am illiterate

Ok, just a few people did not vote for zand, I would say that we look at them.

but you were the one who diverted from the zand vote once it rolled. And Zandracon voted for me on page six, after someone else voted for me.

So uh !Spoit

Bale's vote was the second of the night, and was directed at me because of a stupid question I asked. Your vote was after a four deep vote for Zand had started rolling, but soon enough to try and steer it away.

Kuhl's late vote of the night wasn't going to change anything, but he also voted for me, which I think might mean he was trying to last ditch something off of Zand. In any case, I think your steering away from Zand is at least suspicious, if not damning.

Infidel doesn't really mean anything to me, this is my third phalla. I also missed the first Zand vote (turkson's) and thought it was 4-2, not 5-2. A 4-2 vote is much easier to switch, with three people left to vote, some people might even switch over!

edit: Oh but also yeah, I do think you would do that.

Not to undermine myself, but infidel did call the bandwagon on zand and he was right.

With a 5 to 2 vote, spoit may really have been not feeling the zand vote. Even if he did call me an idiot, that's no reason to kill a villager if we have another lead.

"do you think I'd be the kind of mafia who'd make a vote that stood out as conspicuously that even you could point it out?"

that is an insult, sir!

!Zellpher

I wouldn't mind going down to the vote, I'm a normal villager, but if I get voted out tonight, we'll lose from the majority loss, as long as the mafia gets to kill two people. At the moment, Zellpher's non presence makes him pretty suspicious to me, unless anyone has a better lead.

[spoit]

For completion's sake, peccavi:

You guys really think a mafia is going to jump on a day 1 bandwagon another mafia starts? Especially in a game this small? Come on now.

38thDoe

[/color][/QUOTE]

Yeah, it's not like Kime pushed the vote at all by changing it. Phyphor was already in the lead with 3 at that point, and B:L only had Bale's vote on him. If Bale is mafia, I'm not seeing any potential benefit for Kime to move his vote onto B:L at that point (not saying that Bale isn't mafia, just that that exchange is no evidence of anything).

!38thDoe[/QUOTE]

Honestly, I'm not really sure, but Infidel likes you as a target and nobody has counterclaimed against him, so I'm willing to put my faith in him for now.

Alright, I guess I'm not really sure about Infidel's choice. Best lead I've got is

B:L, for using terrible logic.

!Zandracon

I don't know at this point, kinda worried I'm just being led by the nose by the Mafia. I managed to figure out last night that 38thDoe was a vanillager, but that's the extent of my info.

Hmm... I wonder why Alegis didn't get a kill on day one. Maybe he didn't get a kill until Alegis got Alegis killed by Alegis?

Maybe a guard got lucky night 1? Not really sure.

Yeah, I really don't feel this Langly vote. But the good news is that Infidel helped start the Zandracon bandwagon, which pretty much cleared all my doubts.

!Spoit

!Cythraul, I guess. I'm a sheep.

!langly, for now.

Damn, Mafia still had 2 kills.

[spoit]

and kuhl:

Hmmm... slow first day. But it is the weekend. Whats up with those purple posts? Are people just being silly?

Irritation building. (You don't like reading phalla threads do you, even on slow days?)

Honestly, unless I'm missing something, I don't see anyone mentioning why they were voting in magenta. I see you asking why, and then a little bit later voting for ringo in magenta, even though an answer was never posted.

Thats much better. I was too busy being confused to have proper reading comprehension.

A+ for me then

Thank you Lemming for reminding me.
When life gives you lemons... you probably just found lemons.
(Or bought them at a store. Or stole them from someone else's tree.)

When life gives you lemons, just say fuck the lemons and bail

langly, because he's an arsonist.

Balefuego

Bah, hmmm... it's always infidel isn't it?

I'm gonna go with langly, just because Zand already has 50% of the votes, so I don't think that vote is going anywhere. Plus, langly is giving me suspicious vibes.

Well, I've seen Infidel operate like this before, and he is pretty exceptional.

Cythraul

[spoit]

So, for the record and anyone reading this after the game is over, guarded peccavi tonight. The mafia's MO seemed to be towards hitting random villagers, rather than infi, so we took a gamble. Something about how it would potentially confirm him too

[Infidel]

As I explained to Spoit, saving one of us blocks a kill but gives us no new info.

Blocking a kill on any random unknown provides us with game-winning information.

So we go for it because their kills don't really matter, we need to vote back to back mafia either way.

[Infidel]

You know what to doOoOoOoOoooOooo!
