Mini 277 - Webcomic Mafia - Game Over!

[Nemesis]

Because when they are lynched for the extremely scummy unvote without a good reason and found to be scum their scumbuddy will be lynched the next day...

[Pie_is_good]

when scum bandwagons scum they generally don't start a powerful wagon to get their partner lynched, they start a weaker one when the stronger one is going.

One scum "confirmed innocent" is more powerful than two normal scums. Especially early in the game.

Therefore, if what you are saying is true (that scum never tries to lynch their partner), it's in the scum's best interest to lynch their partners. Your argument proves itself wrong.

[Adele]

I recently played a game which scum won by attacking each other. I agree that it shouldn't be a successful tactic, but it was, and still could be. You guys are knee-deep in WIFOM, and I suggest you drop this argument.

Oh, by the way, Akonas still hasn't claimed. Little pet peeve of mine, things like that slipping under the radar.

[Akonas]

And I'm not going to claim. In this game, there's really no reason to, as it won't really gain the town anything.

FoS: Adele

. Why are you pushing for a tell so much?

A claim isn't going to be useful at this point

. And if scum are supposed to kill certain people, then wouldn't having people claim let them know who to nightkill for a win? Seems kind of scummy to me.

I wouldn't ask for a claim if I thought it was useless, let alone harmful, but to be honest, I requested one for

your

sake. You're pretty near to being lynched and it's fairly standard to give people that opportunity. You don't want to take it? Okay.

vote: Akonas

[Aelyn]

The now-familiar box shifts once more...

Vote Count:

Bertrand - 1 (Fuldu)
Akonas - 5 (TSAGod, Vitamin R, Nemesis, Pie is Good, Adele)
TSAGod - 2 (Thok, Akonas)

Not voting:

Bertrand, Diedraphoenix, Tyfo, StevieT92

As always, with 12 alive it is 7 to lynch.

[bertrand]

Sorry if I'm wrong, but don't I have 1 and Arkonas 5?

[Aelyn]

Sorry if I'm wrong, but don't I have 1 and Arkonas 5?

What are you talking about?

All I've been doing that makes any of you think me scummy at all is throwing my vote around to generate conversation. And it certainly seems to have worked. Even if I get lynched, it certainly generates some material for the rest of you to go back and look at, and since I'm basically a lame-o townie...

[VitaminR]

How is putting on bandwagon votes generating conversation? Following other people's reasoning and suspicions is not generating conversation.

[VitaminR]

Oh.. and could you claim rolename, please?

[StevieT92]

Your absolute refusal to claim makes me pretty sure you are scum.

Unvote, Vote: Akonas

. So, if you don't claim soon, I will assume you are scum trying to buy time.

Note:

NO ONE ELSE VOTE FOR HIM

That would be a lynch.

[Thok]

Feh. Akonas is clearly a safe lynch by now, (he's either scum or not a power role) so there's no real reason to stall. I'm willing to vote him to end the day and see what happens.

Unvote TSAGod, vote Akonas

[Adele]

grr... you should have at least given him a chance

You know...

another

one...

because he

might

have changed his mind... oh well

[TSAGod]

I'm basically a lame-o townie...

That's all the claim we were getting.

[Adele]

Yeah, I know

[bertrand]

Unvote TSAGod, vote Akonas

FoS Thok and StevieT92: Please let him claim before lenching. It's too late now. I've got my eye on you. If you're right though, good job.

[Adele]

FoS Thok and StevieT92: Please let him claim before lynching.

To be fair, he had every chance, and seemed to have made his mind up pretty irrevocably...

And

I'm not going to claim

. In this game, there's really no reason to, as it won't really gain the town anything.

[StevieT92]

I was just trying to make it clear that if he didn't claim we would lynch him, but I can't say I blame Thok for lynching him (hey I think he's scum too)

[Akonas]

Oh, well. I guess agression doesn't work.

*dies*

Go my win conditions!

[Tyfo]

He said, or at least the quote stated, that he was a "lame-o townie". It's always better to lynch a claimed townie if a better solution isn't available, as a power-role should not lie in the first place. It's presumeably "safer" to claim townie if you're a scum, as there is none to counter it; but more dangerous as it's "easier" to lynch a claimed townie - in the beginning at least.

So, I'll say we did the best thing at this point.

[bertrand]

Twilight?

[Adele]

Yep. I've let the mod know.

[Aelyn]

Apologies for the delay - I'm in a play and the rehearsal schedule has been strict to say the least (I should be in one now ) which has restricted my time online.

The caption shifts one more time...

Bertrand - 1 (Fuldu)
Akonas - 7 (TSAGod, Vitamin R, Nemesis, Pie is Good, Adele, StevieT92, Thok)
TSAGod - 1 (Akonas)

Not voting: Bertrand, Diedraphoenix, Tyfo

An erasor descends from the heavens, but it doesn't seem to work on the computer-generated Akonas. However, he accepts his fate and throw off his cape, revealing a rather fetching female form beneath.

"I can't believe you all attacked me like this! Why do all the so-called good guys keep doing this? But since you have all decided upon my fate, I must be honourable and accept it."

She kneels down, draws her wakizashi, and silently commits seppeku for her sins to the town...

Akonas, Miko Miyazaki
