Open 164 - Bird 7P (Over) before 836

[Far_Cry]

my schedule is sinking me again. I'm also dead tired.

I'll try and get a bliurry-eyed post up today.

Please, I would like reason for me to switch my vote.

[VP Baltar]

If hohum doesn't post tonight, he needs to die.

[brothernature]

Agreed. Reading back over the last couple pages has left me wanting to hear from hohum. He never replied to your case against him, Baltar. Just said "OMGUS" and left it. But I just really don't wanna lynch of over lurking. If we mislynch, we'll be at Lylo tomorrow, unless I get a successfull protection. And that would be rather hard with the cop claiming today. The obvious choice would to be to protect the cop. But the scum know that, so they would target someone else. But of course I know that they would know that so I wouldn't protect the cop. But of course they know that and and would target the cop and so on.

You had better not. Don't protect the cop. If you protect the cop the cop will die, it says so in the rules. Do not do it. Did you not read your pm?

[brothernature]

First, he won't die, he just won't accept the protection. He'll only die if the Mafia target and NK him. But ya, forgot about that for a sec. Got a lot on my mind lately. Having IRL issues at the moment.

[hiphop]

Oh yes he will. I guess your pm does not mention it, but the cop's does. Read this. Notice, how it says "You will go down" and where it says it. I bolded it for you.

1 player has received this PM:

Welcome to Bird 7P!
You think you know everything.

That’s right, you DO know everything. It just takes time to figure out what you know.

You, _____, are the macho cop, sworn to rid the town of the mafia infiltration.

However, should the doctor try to protect you, you won't accept it -

you will go down

, but the town will know, you are the MAN.

Each night you may send me the name of one player and I will tell you that player’s alignment.

You win and the town win when all mafia forces are eliminated from the town.
You cannot win with the mafia!

[brothernature]

Welcome to Bird 7P, ____!

Some call you insane. Others call you paranoid. You know you’re not either though; you’re a normal doctor!

Each night, you may send me the name of one player, and that player will not be affected by any night kill attempts.

Notes:

Your protection does not work on the cop; he won’t accept it.

You may not protect yourself.

You and the town win when all mafia forces are eliminated from the town.
You cannot win with the mafia!

Yeah. It just says that he won't accept it in mine.

[VP Baltar]

I don't know, standard macho cop simply can't be protected. I don't think there are any variations on that in an open setup. My guess is that line is just a flavor typing from the mod that can be interpreted incorrectly.

[hiphop]

Here I will ask him.

mod:will the cop die if the doc protects him?

[Sironigous]

The cop will not die if the doctor tries to protect him.
Simply, the doctor's protect DOES NOT work on the cop.

Where did you get that idea from?

Should have been interpreted - Oh no, the scum targeted me. I will not take the doctor's help. I WILL GO DOWN WITH PRIDE.

[hohum]

This is quite incorrect. The mod is obviously not familiar with the setup.

[hohum]

oh never mind. I posted my reaction based off the first sentence.

[hohum]

more to follow...

[VP Baltar]

Agreed. Reading back over the last couple pages has left me wanting to hear from hohum. He never replied to your case against him, Baltar. Just said "OMGUS" and left it. But I just really don't wanna lynch of over lurking. If we mislynch, we'll be at Lylo tomorrow, unless I get a successfull protection.

The reason I said that yesterday was because I noticed hohum has time to sign up for new games, but not to post in this thread. I wanted to give him some time to post his reply because I can understand being busy, but he has well exceeded the bounds of my patience.

I say someone throws the hammer.

If hohum flips town, tonight Far Cry investigates myself or hiphop and most likely bites the dust. Bn puts out a protection on one of us that doesn't do much of anything, and then we enter three player lylo tomorrow. I know I'm town, and I'm pretty sure bn knows it as well, but we can have whatever discussions are necessary to prove that tomorrow.

[hiphop]

vote:hohum

[Far_Cry]

vote:hohum

Interesting move. I would like to see what hohum flips up. He didn't provide any defense.

By the way, I'm gonna die tonight if hohum flips town, so I would like to say goodbye for now.

[hohum]

Good game town.

I was distracted all game long. I hardly played as well as I could, and baltar saw right through me.

good job on the flawless victory.

[VP Baltar]

Woot! I was probably lucky you weren't at full capacity hohum because I started the game off giving you too much leeway.

[hohum]

You did, and I saw an opportunity to shut you down when it became apparent that far_cry fucked up the investigation but I couldn't capitalize on it.

The reason I didn't kill brothernature on N1 was because I knew a well-placed cop investigation could sink me, and I was aiming for the cop.

[Far_Cry]

I hope this is true.

Anyways, I wouldn't call this my best game, but I was surprised that I was able to defend myself when I came under fire, something that I usually suck at.

I'm also surprised that I caught 2 scum

[hohum]

I was too obvscum to be effective this game... maybe next game

@Baltar: if you'd like to go for round 3 you should /in yourself for the upcoming Pie E7

[VP Baltar]

@hohum-I'll think about it. Trying to cut back on my number of games a little bit right now, but opens don't take that much time and effort.

What's the story on Last Man Standing? Is that a theme game?

@the mod-thanks for the game. good job overall and the vote counts were timely. I personally don't think you should have deleted the post where Zwet said that one of Far Cry and hiphop was his partner. In my opinion, that type of wifom is all a part of the game and shouldn't be interferred with by the moderator.

@PE-wish you could have lived longer. I figured it was going to be one of us that was going to get killed N1. I really like your style and look forward to playing with you again.

@bn-I think you were out front a bit too much early on with you being the doc. You should still scumhunt, but you have to make sure you do it in a careful way as a powerrole so you don't get outted too early. I think you do well after your early going.

@hiphop-I'm not really sure why everyone found you so scummy early on. Your late switching around was throwing me for a loop a little bit, but overall you seemed town enough. I think you maybe could spend a bit more time thinking about motivations behind actions to determine who is actually scummy.

@Far Cry-I think you did alright, but definitely shouldn't have investigated brothernature. That was a really bad move, even if you weren't sure you could believe him. Even if he was scum faking, the real doc would have claimed the next day. You came through later in day two and helped me out though, so good job.

@zwet-You're going to have to start changing your meta now.

[hohum]

Last Man Standing (for those interested) is going to be a wild-west themed closed-setup full reveal 12P mini. I can't really go into detail but it has some pretty interesting mechanics. I think it's going to be an enjoyable game.

[hohum]

Last Man Standing (I'm still tweaking the flavor so this is a rough draft)

Synopsis:

The year is 1879. The height of westward expansion has reached its peak. Some citizens have taken up residence in a little desert stop-over which bodes a high paying, fast-paced life style; however, where there's money there's also questionable morales! A ruthless gang of Cowboys is trying to take over all your businesses and worst of all your sheriff is in on it.

It's up to you to take back what's yours, even if by force! Just try not to kill everyone else in the process.

[VP Baltar]

When are you looking to run it?
