Open 54 - Basic 12 Player (over) before 529

[Ether]

3 Crub (IH, Glork, Shanba)
1 Patrick (Crub)
1 Shanba (Thestatusquo)
1 Thestatusquo (Bookitty)

2 Unvote (Andycyca, Patrick)

8 alive; 5 to lynch.

[Andycyca]

Problems solved. Honestly, I don't know what conclusions I can draw right now from Kitty/TSQ's discussion. I'm rereading them very carefully and will post right when I'm done.

[Andycyca]

Well, From their debate, both TSQ and Kitty look more protown to me. As for scumpairs, I still think Shanba/Crub is our best bet... so

Vote: Crub

[Crub]

I guess we just have to wait for patrick to come and hammer now.

[IH]

I dislike you.

no offense.

[IH]

EBWOP:sorry I used the fake spelling for a minute

Offence

[Crub]

That happens when someone points out you're wrong.

[Patrick]

Waves hi.

TSQ, you going to post anything at all?

[Crub]

oh lots of lulz in this game.

unvote; vote shanba

75% chance my odds are improving.

[Patrick]

@Patrick:

A "reread" implies that TSQ has read the thread in the first place. As of two days ago, he stated he had not read the thread the first time. As in, at all. Which is a significant part of my reasons for voting him. This lack of curiosity and helpfulness during LYLO seems scummier to me even than what Crub has done. I was not aware that he had agreed to read the thread, but I might have missed that.

I meant read instead of reread, used the wrong word. The bit where TSQ said he'd read the game was In this post. I've been curious to know what he thinks of Crub especially, though just some general commentary of everyone wouldn't be bad.

If Crub is town then we're pretty much screwed at this point because a scumbag will be able to hammer him, but I think the chances of that are very slim. If it is happening though, don't keep us in suspense.

[Shanba]

Is there any point to this or are you just posting for the sake of posting?

[Crub]

He's proving his innocence, when I turn up town and in the off chance the doc is lucky.

[Shanba]

He had already done that here:

Waves hi.

TSQ, you going to post anything at all?

Besides, you are scum with him, so it changes nothing.

[Crub]

Also can I point out here, in the small chance it helps my cause, at least when I put the 3rd vote on Andy it was consistent with my views on who I thought was scum.

Shanba's vote is different to his expressed views, not only from the start of today, but also from directly after I made my 3rd vote on Andy.

All of the scum are in this list : Shanba, Andy, TSQ, Kitty.

[Shanba]

bullshit.

Hrm.

My big problem with the quicklynch theory is it means that we can't have a Crub-Andy pairing. I like a Crub-Andy pairing. It makes sense. But eh. That post...
it's kinda hard to describe my reaction. My first thought was not that he was priming for a quicklynch. I've seen the argument he used used before, and in that case it was correct. It actually didn't cross my mind that it could be that.

That said... I see where IH and Glork are coming from. Thinking back to my second game where I was scum with Glork, day 2 we needed a mislynch to win (newbie game). One of the townies had voted for the cop and I only needed Glork to log in and we had won. At that point I got very antsy, including making a post simply to bump the thread. Eventually Glork logged on and we won. So I see why the post might be a scum primer, and indeed, given the timestamps that seems the most likely explanation.

In which case, who is the third scum? It can't be Andy, or he wouldn't be trying to set up a mislynch. The connection with Patrick is weakened - the big connection I felt there was Andy-Patrick, not Crub Patrick. Still, I think Patrick is scummy individually. Tsq or Bookitty then for the final scumbuddy. Ugh. If I had to pick, I'd pick TSQ. Bookitty's recent posts read town to me.

TSQ-Crub-Patrick? Even that doesn't feel quite right. Bleh.

You'd have to stretch quite hard to not realise that this means I am suspicious of you.

[Patrick]

Ugh. Now I'm tempted to hammer now just to find out straight away whether Crub's scum or not.

Shanba's vote is different to his expressed views, not only from the start of today, but also from directly after I made my 3rd vote on Andy.

It doesn't seem that inconsistent, since he said he believes the scumgroup is probably Crub/Patrick/TSQ.

That said Shanba, I hate it when people use rhetoric against me

[Crub]

Oh well I give up.

I suck at this game.

I'm still town though. GG Shanba and co.

[Patrick]

Meh. If Crub is town he's going to be hammered by scum soon because there's at least two protown players on him. Might as well find out now.

Vote: Crub

I know you're still there, so please just tell me what your role was.

[Patrick]

Sorry, forgot this.

When a player has the majority of the votes at a single point, it is dead and the game goes to twilight. No one may post in twilight.

[Ether]

5 Crub (IH, Glork, Shanba, Andycyca, Patrick)
2 Shanba (Thestatusquo, Crub)
1 Thestatusquo (Bookitty)

8 alive; 5 to lynch.

Ether's phone rings.

"Whatever you're selling, I don't--oh. That's different. This is Ether speaking. Day 3, eight alive. No, no, I mean in the metaphorical sense. I know not to kill anyone until after the trial.

"I'm really not seeing DNet as a crime lord. She's just a bit irrational; you'd be, too. I know it's difficult to obtain sleepy gas legally, but--

"Oh, wow. That does change things. The game's going into deadline shortly, but I could definitely bump it up for you. It's not like these guys have any way to tell what time it is in there, heh."

Glork gives her a funny look. She smiles and waves. At this point, Patrick moves his vote.

"Oh, even better! Yeah, we just need a bit of time for a night phase now."

Crub (Vanilla Townie) has been lynched. It is now Night 3.

Don't take more than 48 hours...but if the scum and doctor both send nontentative nightchoices to me and this ends the game, I'll open the thread early.

[Ether]

The lights are out for the night. Ether slips back into the corridor. She holds a flashlight in front of her face.

"You all break out of jail and decide to cross the woods to escape justice. You stop at IH's mom's house. She gives you fish paste to eat on your journey, and warns you that there are ghosts in the woods. But none of you listen.

"As soon as you're halfway through the woods, the clouds grow heavy--not that you can tell that through the foliage. Not until it's too late. Soon, the snow is too thick to keep walking. Andycyca finds an old abandoned cabin, and you all hide in it.

"A week later, you're out of fish paste and it's still snowing. You realize that you have to get more fish paste...or you'll die. But in the thick snow, no one wants to go outside. You agree to draw lots to kick someone out. Thestatusquo gets the shortest straw...but he refuses to bravely sacrifice himself.

"The next morning, he wakes up outside of the cabin with a note: '

Get food, jerk.

' He finds a rock and hits the frozen surface of a nearby stream until it cracks. A fish immediately jumps out and squirms helplessly on the ice. It is a fish of every color of the rainbow.

"'Spare my life!' it pleads in perfect English. 'I will transport you and your friends to safety!' Thestatusquo pauses, wondering if the fish is trustwor--"

The phone rings.

"So, um, the scum kill him and he's the doctor. Town loses." Ether spits a brief "Yes, yes, whatever" into the phone.

"Okay, town, you have like two hours to live and then it's the chair. Because Shanba, Andycyca and Patrick

betrayed

you. The filthy scum will be free to wander the streets, until next time. I hope Team SAP taught you a lesson."

As you're led off, the mafia stare after you through the open frame of the door. Then when they can't see you anymore, they stare at each other instead. Andycyca stares at the floor.

But Patrick catches the look in Shanba's eye. He nods.

Thestatusquo (Doctor) has been nightkilled. The scum (Andycyca, Patrick and Shanba) win!

[Ether]

Day 1:
JDodge (vanilla) lynched

Night 1:
Mafia (Andycyca, Patrick, Shanba) kill Elmo (vanilla)
Sikario8 (doctor) protects Shanba
IH (cop) investigates wank (not scum)

Day 2:
Ripley (vanilla) lynched

Night 2:
Mafia kill wank (vanilla)
Thestatusquo (doctor) protects Glork
IH investigates Glork (not scum)

Day 3:
Crub (vanilla) lynched

Night 3:
Mafia kill Thestatusquo (doctor)
All else is irrelevant

[Crub]

I didn't occur to me until after Patrick hammered, that we could have No Lynched yesterday for a free investigation.

Oh Well.

[Glork]

I didn't occur to me until after Patrick hammered, that we could have No Lynched yesterday for a free investigation.

Oh Well.

No Lynch is not allowed in this game. If the game goes to night due to a deadline, the person with the most votes will be lynched. If there is a tie at this point, I will flip a coin. Please don't tie. (Note that the mafia win condition ends the game at 50%.)
