We won.

bah

what gave me away?

Sorry, Sarnath'd for 15th time today.

Either way... My odd statement about the plague was a breadcrumb.

Woot yay town!

Thanks for playing everybody.

Sorry if it was frustrating, but it was hilarious to watch. I really thought Fiasco was gathering enough information to be able to try a suicide attack on D1!

What was the plague breadcrumb meaning?

DragonsofSummer · Post Post #133 (ISO) » Wed Mar 28, 2007 9:11 am

Yeah and I can't believe you lynched the only one who responded to it in any way.

That's what gave you away. I can't figure out why, but it just seemed so scummy...

mojo's vote on you day 1 made you already dead in my opinion because mojo was guard and unlikely to distance.

your breadcrumbing comment absolutely reeked to me because of the pointlessness of the whole excercise, why BC information that you CAN'T reveal?

you unvoted to get mojo to keep talking, at that point he was confirmed guard to you because of the votes on him, you basically lengthened his time of existence to pump him for more information. in this game time works against the town, once some1 is being brought to the guillotine, it's best to just kill them rather than to let them blab too much.

Also in my point of view, Mojo had cleared both you and I of being the king with his day one votes as a confirmed guard, if Jdodge was the assassin, then he should have already won.

Wow I'm a moron.
In post 32 Fiasco says he breadcrumb the king's name in one of his posts. I then go back and see post 23.

And I think, "Well, he obviously knows who the king is".

The crumb was very, very slight.

you actually BCed? O.O

Yep. There was a reason I said my plague comment has very important meaning.

Fiasco · Post Post #141 (ISO) » Wed Mar 28, 2007 9:18 am

Pooky: I unvoted because I thought that would look pro-town, actually.

Also in my point of view, Mojo had cleared both you and I of being the king with his day one votes as a confirmed guard, if Jdodge was the assassin, then he should have already won.

I don't understand -- there's no reason why guards can't sometimes vote for the King, right?

Mojo, haha, that was purely a coincidence.

JDodge, I wouldn't have caught that as town, either.

Fiasco · Post Post #142 (ISO) » Wed Mar 28, 2007 9:19 am

For a while I suspected Pooky because people reacted so strongly to Mojo voting him. Then when JDodge voted Pooky later on, JDodge and OTU/MM were my strongest King suspects, in that order.

JDodge · Post Post #143 (ISO) » Wed Mar 28, 2007 9:19 am

I know... I didn't want to make it obvious, though. That would defeat the purpose.

That being said, I think this setup is more random than anything.

PookyTheMagicalBear · Post Post #144 (ISO) » Wed Mar 28, 2007 9:20 am

the town can vote for the King, it's just that I thought mojo was highly unlikely to open with a vote on the king to distance.

Like during the entire game, noone voted for Jdodge or OverTheUnder, which is why they ended up standing out like sore thumbs for you to make a decision between.

Kelly Chen · Post Post #145 (ISO) » Wed Mar 28, 2007 9:22 am

Yeah I don't think this game is random at all, I just think it's incredibly easy for the town to drop the ball and keep on dropping it.

PookyTheMagicalBear · Post Post #146 (ISO) » Wed Mar 28, 2007 9:24 am

bloody deceptively easy at that....

It's also probably an extremely difficult setup for the assassin to win, due to the fact that slip-ups in this game should result in an immediate lynch. If we assume randomness, it might be fairly balanced. Info is it's downfall.

DragonsofSummer · Post Post #148 (ISO) » Wed Mar 28, 2007 9:26 am

This game is extremely entertaining to watch once you are dead thats for sure.

PookyTheMagicalBear · Post Post #149 (ISO) » Wed Mar 28, 2007 9:26 am

I actually think this game might be biased towards the assassin at least a little bit.
