Princess Bride Mafia - Game Over

[MeMe]

Norinel replaces Darkblade effective immediately.

[Norinel]

Hello, I'm here, just tired and don't have time to read the whole thread.

[Werebear]

mathcam, see, I'd say the margin of error on publicly choosing a night action to block would be WAY to large for us to actually do it. Maybe I'm a pessimist about it... but I think there's too many factors to prove such.

[Norinel]

I sort of agree with Dourgrim about mlaker and Someone, because of factual inaccuracies and such. I don't particularly love mlaker's roleclaim, partially because even if it were real, he didn't explain it well. (Specifically, why his blocking is limited now that Buttercup's dead) That said, I'll stick with an

FOS: mlaker

to keep open the slight possibility that he makes some incredible proof of his innocence before the deadline.

[Werebear]

In the movie, the Booer existed to bring Buttercup back to her senses. I'm not exactly sure how that fits in with mlaker's role, though... *Scratches head*

[mathcam]

I essentially agree, Werebear, with your post three up. The counter-plus is that we still gain some information if we try to prove it...maybe not information that is immediately helpful. But in the long run, who knows? There's still something fishy about mlaker's role. I either don't understand what he's claiming the role does, or it just doesn't make sense. Does anyone else feel like they understand what mlaker is saying his role is? Maybe they could explain it better.

For what it's worth, I think the reason mlaker didn't explain his role well is because he's making it up as we go along here. It's inconsistent with the character in the movie, and he decided not to go look for Buttercup Night One because he'd rather have a role-block than be a Cop? No way... he's full of it.

[massive]

No way... he's full of it.

I agree, his role claim is as stinky as a halibut. It doesn't match with the movie at all. And with regular townspeople, using the Old Booer as a real role means that someone important would have had to be lost.

[jadesmar]

I didn't get the logic in this part:

using the Old Booer as a real role means that someone important would have had to be lost

but, I liked this part

unvote: jadesmar

[mathcam]

I think he's saying that there are so many

important

roles in the game that putting the Old Booer in as one means some other character would have to be left out. I think it's fairly believable that the Old Booer is in the game, but it would certailny be believeable that it wasn't, too.

[jadesmar]

Still, doesn't the existance of townie roles in this game show that anyone else that the mod wanted from the movie could be in it. The Old Booer, was much more prevalent in the movies than say... those stupid peasants surrounding her.

[mlaker]

I only had 1 boo too start with and didn't want to waste it night 1 when I would have a better chance night 2 or three.

[mole]

I, for one, do not believe the roleclaim. I don't like role-blockers much anyway (worse than townies, I say. At least the vigilante screws up the game in a fun way ;) and one with only one block just seems, well, far too weak to have any effect on the game at all. Especially if he's been given a specific target, and has only one shot at it...

[rite]

If mlaker is really the Old Booer (which I doubt), he's incredibly bad at role-claiming.

[Sugar]

If mlaker

isn't

the Old Booer, I'd have expected the real one to come forward by now. Well, maybe not, since it seems that if a final vote doesn't lynch him, the deadline will. It's just a role I'd expect to be in the game.
But he can't be telling the whole truth about it... the Old Booer was given one single "boo" with which to try to find his target Buttercup?! And if miraculously successful, would turn into a cop? It simply makes no sense.

[JereIC]

I don't feel at all good about this mlaker lynch. It's all started with a scum result from a cop with questionable insanity and a few off posts. His claim is wierd, but hasn't been disproven to my liking yet, and the real Old Booer hasn't come out yet to counter-claim. It just feels off, and I don't want to throw the last vote, even though his lynch looks certain.

On the off chance mlaker turns out to be scum, obviosly the next thing to do is look at Leo again.

FOS: Leonidas[/n]

[JereIC]

Grr, I meant

FOS: Leonidas

.

[massive]

jadesmar: What I meant was, with so few possible slots left for non-"normal"-townies in this game, it seems weird that the Old Booer would get a slot. I think I can count about 14 roles I'd put in the game BEFORE the Old Booer, and I think it's more likely that our illustrious moderator would have put regular townies in than put in roles where the role was REALLY stretching just to be included. Does that make better sense?

About Leonidas: I'm trying to think if there were any Mafia roles that might have been able to slip out of a lynching (the Mafia roles we determined earlier) ... I wish I had seen the movie recently.

Oh wait, it was just last week. Geez for my short-term memory.

[jadesmar]

14 roles before the old booer?

I think I would put old booer in before I would put Valerie in. And Valerie just recently died.

[jadesmar]

oh, and Grandfather, definitely would put Old Booer in before I would put in the Grandfather. so

[Dourgrim]

14 roles before the old booer?

I think I would put old booer in before I would put Valerie in. And Valerie just recently died.

Valerie was played by Carol Kane and is a major facet of one of the most memorable scenes of the movie, IMHO...

oh, and Grandfather, definitely would put Old Booer in before I would put in the Grandfather. so

... and Grandpa was not only the narrator but was played by

Columbo

, for God's sake! Both of those characters are important enough to the main story (and entertaining enough) to be very likely candidates for roles. The Old Booer was played by... um, who? Besides, the role's claimed abilities are very difficult to believe (at least for me). *shrug*

Now combine all of that with the fact that a Cop did indeed finger the guy. Even though the Cop's sanity is in question, at least this way we can put that question to bed once and for all. And we run the risk of losing a one-shot role-blocker... seems like a small price to pay for the chance to lynch someone I've been vocally suspicious of for quite awhile now.

“Boo! Boooooo! BOOOOOO!”

“Why do you do this?”

“Because you had love in your hands, and you gave it up.”

“But they would have killed Westley if I hadn't done it.”

“Oh yeah, I forgot about that. Alright, I’m going to come clean with you – I boo because I find that it’s kind of distracting.”

“Distracting? What need have you of distraction?”

“Well…the more I boo, the less people seem to notice my hands.”

The Brute Squad advances on

“Well, Roberts had grown so rich, he wanted to retire. So he took me to his cabin and told me his secret. ‘I am not the Dread Pirate Roberts,’ he said. ‘My name is JereIC.’ I inherited this ship from the previous Dread Pirate Roberts, just as you will inherit it from me. The man I inherited it from was not the real Dread Pirate Roberts, either. His name was Cummerbund. The real Roberts has been retired fifteen years and living like a king in Patagonia.’”

Though the

Dread Pirate Roberts III

had been the terror of the sea, he had been living peaceably on land – even willing to protect the country he now called home. Some thought of him as nearly indestructible…until that nasty gash on his leg took a turn for the worse. Roberts (

JereIC

, vigilante) can now be found only in Davy Jones’ Locker.

Fourteen awake…eight must agree before the sun will set.
