Mini 294 - Post Restriction (It's all over!)

[audacesiuvat]

If you have any questions regarding what I'm trying to accomplish here, please ask and I will be completely honest with you. I know it is unusual for the Serial Killer to claim on the second post of the game, but I'm trying to prove my usefulness to the town.

Why bother. By claiming now, the mafia will bump you off before you even find what you're looking for, if it's even out there.

I'd wish you luck, but it wouldn't help.

[audacesiuvat]

So, I notice Pooky isn't in this game. Interesting.

Pooky's the greatest player ever. We'd win for sure if he were around. Without his help, we're done for.

Vote: Neongrey

I once loved a mime. She left me at the altar, slowly. She was walking against an imaginary headwind the whole time. I never loved again.

[audacesiuvat]

Unvote

I wish I could understand what just happened, I'm just not that clever. I tried to learn, but they wouldn't let me near the Mime or Clown classes back in college. Not after the time I volunteered to participate in that one Clown Lab and caused a dozen students to weep into their banana cream pies.

[audacesiuvat]

A thought before we kill Quig, and our chances of winning the game with it.

Might our personalities play a part in our alignment, as well as the clues left by the death scenes? We found a scalpel at the scene of Thok's murder, which maybe does indeed point to Quig as evil. (Quack -> bad doctor -> scalpel?)

Yes, I know that it's a silly idea, and one the probably brought the IQ of the thread down a few notches. I'll return to hiding now.

[audacesiuvat]

This is highly unfortunate. We're never going to win if townies start jumping ship voluntarily.

[audacesiuvat]

Another anti-townie bandwagon. We're so going to lose.

Vote Twomz

Partially OMGUS, partially because you were on both Quig's and Logic's wagons.

[audacesiuvat]

Have we heard from Nightcow yet today?

Though I do understand if he wouldn't want to waste a post responding to me.

[audacesiuvat]

Am I that obvious? If so, then I'm a detriment to the town.

Yes, I was logic's mason buddy. He needed to be optimistic 5 times a day, I need to be pessimistic 5 times a day. I wasn't guaranteed his innocence, though, and he didn't claim, so I didn't step forward when the bandwagon drove him off the cliff.

Frankly, I'm surprised I survived the night, I normally spark homicidal rage in people who are around me for prolonged periods of time.

[audacesiuvat]

No talk = no good. Although we may be doomed to lose, we should still at least make another attempt at conversation.

And yes, I realize the irony of asking players to talk when one player is away, two players technically can't talk, one player is limited to the number of times he can talk, and the other two must talk in meter or, well, whatever the heck MoS is doing. What a motley bunch we are.

[audacesiuvat]

So far Twomz and Nightcow have claimed power roles. Nightcow is believable, Twomz slightly less so, but we must have a vig. Bethelmark didn't off himself. So,

unvote

.

Of the four left, MoS is the last remaining non-claimer. Let's put some pressure on him to come out and claim.

Vote: MoS

I have the distinct feeling that I just made a horrible mistake.

[audacesiuvat]

I still don't get it either.

Do you get a question answered every night?

Do you get random cryptic clues during night?

While these benefits sound cool, I doubt they'll help us that much.

[audacesiuvat]

Huh?

If you have no restriction, why make up one? Why not come clean when Nightcow called you out?

I'm so confused. And I feel cheated. I don't know if I'll be able to trust anyone ever again.

[audacesiuvat]

Good to see you back, MoS. I'm voting for you because you're the last player to not have claimed something. Claim, and I'll unvote.

At least, I'm thinking that I'm still voting for you. It's been so long since we had a

vote count

from our Mod. I wonder if my presence caused him to abandon the game. Wouldn't be the first time.

[audacesiuvat]

Unvote

, as promised.

Did I misunderstand you, MoS? You got a negative result on DG, right? Thus implying that DG has no night choice. But, I thought DG had a night choice of some sort - her fortune cookies? Or does she not choose who she gets info on?

I'm so confused. The longer this day goes on, the less sure I am that we're going to catch scum.

[audacesiuvat]

Couple of questions for the good pirate:

1. Did you kill Bethelmark last night?

2. Why do you think MoS is scum? You never really explicated your reasoning behind it. Just process of elimination?

[audacesiuvat]

Arrr...
1) i said earlier that i killed Bethelmark.

Sorry.

I swear, the last few days have sapped any intelligence that I could have laid claim to. I'm not operating at full power, and that can't be good for us.

Listen, between the ersatz post restriction and the unexplained teddy bear, there are too many questions swirling around D_M to be ignored.

Vote: draygn_mage

[audacesiuvat]

A mod suggesting to a townie that he should lie would be poor form. If that were the case, we'd be doomed to failure right from the start.

[audacesiuvat]

I still feel angry about D_M. We'll never win if townies brazenly lie!

Twomz is clear in my book. That leaves two out of DG, neongrey, and MoS as scum. And I think I know which two.

I would like to hear from DG and MoS regarding their nighttime actions before I cast my vote.

[audacesiuvat]

Actually, i be certain that MoS be mafia... I'm just tryin to figure if yee or DG be the last one Miss Grey.

I too agree with your assessment. Which of course means it must be wrong. I haven't been right about anything in years.

With DG gone this week, we may not find out her result for some time.

[audacesiuvat]

This clinches it for me.

Vote: MoS

Given that I and Twomz are more-or-less confirmed innocents, the only question was which of the other three living players were also an innocent. I was fairly sure look back on the voting patterns that Neongrey and MoS were scum. DG had voted for both of them, and both of them had voted for DG in the past. Neither had voted for each other.

Now the two of them are trying to silence DG before she has a chance to defend herself and reveal what she did during the night. I'm now convinced that MoS and neongrey are the scum.

Of course, with my luck, Twomz will have played me like a fiddle and cast the lynching vote to win the game. I can never win.

[audacesiuvat]

It's just as well. I'm going to be away this weekend leaving tomorrow and returning the 23rd myself.

I know that as soon as I leave, unrestrained jubilation will break out in this thread.

[audacesiuvat]

=

Well, crap.

Unvote

This isn't going to end well.

[audacesiuvat]

I agree with you, Twomz. Assuming that you and I are more-or-less confirmed innocent, DG's result makes no sense. I see that one of two conclusions must be correct: Either she's getting incorrect results, or she's scum.

Vote: DrippingGoofball

I just made a terrible mistake. I know it.

[audacesiuvat]

Arrr... i'm not sayin that what she said be wrong, I be sayin that she knows extra bout MoS's role cause she be his scumbuddy. MoS is the lynch for today. Time be telling if DG be the lynch fer tomorrow.

Yes, she could be correct. That would be really annoying, and make the endgame just about impossible for us to win. But it doesn't change the fact that I can now logically prove that she's scum. Since I can't prove beyond a shadow of a doubt that MoS is scum yet, I'd rather lynch DG today.

[audacesiuvat]

if we don't lynch MoS today, i'm vigging him tonight, Aye?

Can't say I'm in favor of that. If you're wrong, we lose. Anyway, we can always lynch MoS the next day.

I understand you're interest in taking decisions out of my hands - I don't often choose the correct answer. Still, I ask that you wait.

[audacesiuvat]

The other onlookers, the Mime

neongrey

and Negative Friend

audacesiuvat

cheered him on.

There's something about a mime and an eternal pessimist cheering that doesn't quite seem right.
