Return to Ciretako - Night 4 - Duel

Spoiler :


Flip Hero's Log: "Oh no, oh no, I think I’m the only one left . . . that monstrous thing has wrecked the engine cores and it’s still not slowing down. . ."

The ship hadn't moved in a long time, that much was obvious. Floating around the depths of space, its secrets hidden from the world at large. Not that there was much left anyway. The Elite class robot was guarding the next room, the computer told me. It didn't have heavy firepower or armour plating, it was just a smarter soldier. No wonder it was in command of this base.

I charged in firing my laser. The elite responded calmly, dodging my shots and returning fire. This would be a battle of attrition, one that I could not afford to lose. I managed to corner the elite and fired a few shots, but his expel manoeuvre fired bullets in every direction forcing me to take cover. It was a powerful move, capable of decimating many smaller machines but damaged the user in return. The duel continued, each of us taking shots when it looked likely to hit, the other attempting to move out of the way and stay in a good position for the next salvo.

The Elite's blast hit me and I could feel my suit temperature rising. My right arm had stopped responding, I would have to fix that after this fight. If there was an after. I charged into the elite ramming it against the wall while it fired into my suit. Cold mechanical eyes stared back as I blasted a hole in its gun, it was now defenseless. The Elite began to shake and shudder. Fearful of its damage I began to retreat hoping to find cover. It exploded bullets flying around the room, but all of them missing.

It was a tough enemy, but it was eventually outlasted by my superior firepower. I made it to the next repair station and began to fix the damage before the smoke ruined any more circuits.

----------------------------------------------------------------------​

Legato Endless was not a powerful machine. Phazes were notorious for having weak defensive systems, but the tradeoff was their fast movement and ability to shift through walls. Legato chose wrongly this night as he warped into a room with no machines. His scanners couldn't detect any lifeforms, so he continued his exploration. The first shot missed, blasting a hole in the wall. Legato attempted to the way he came, but the walls were covered in flames, the room was on fire, but the structural elements were still holding. There was no way he could make it through that, so he turned to fight with what little weapons he had.

A roar followed as another explosion rocked the ship. Legato never reappeared for duty.

Statement: I could not help but notice the Verarde being has been replaced with the AskthePizzaGuy being for the same job duty. And now we have a second kill we have not seen since night two. This is a placeholder vote until we hear further:AskthePizzaGuy. Also specimens of interest include choxorn and Arakhor for making numerous statements that have contributed little, if anything, to the overall conversation. I'd love to hear more about your nighttime subroutines.

Statement: Upgrade to Me. I believe I know how to best utilize such a part.
 
There is still reason to examine Edse closer.
Upgrade can go to Winston Hughes and I want to be the mayor
 
I have not been following along, can someone give me a summary of all interesting happenings to date?

Jarrema claims to be part of a town network with at least a scanner and a blocker. The scanner had scanned KingMorgan as non-organic. The blocker blocked me on night one when there was only one kill and Cyosis the night before last when there also was a single kill (of a mafia).

At day one jht was lynched after Sprig broke the tie just before the end of the day. KaiserElectric posted before that but didn't vote.
 
Has the blocker blocked Coyosis or me a second time? If not, why?

I am waiting from information from this unit.
Vote can be changed if new data are obtained.
 
BSmith's posts seem to be piggybacking off other people's reasoning, asking simple questions or minor clarifications.

I want the upgrade and will assist others desiring the gun or the role of lieutenant if they can help me acquire it.
 
I have a long list of nights inactive, and thus no results to give you for my amazing scanning power which can determine whether or not someone can "use a gun". My guess is there is at least one enemy unit in the game which can. But probably allied units also can. So how useful this is, marginal perhaps. But I will report all the data I get.

I am a machine that looks like a commercial airliner from the side. Sort of. With a tooth on the nose of the plane.

As to Backwards Logic's point about a new kill being seen, it would appear to be incriminating. I don't have a defense, I would suggest looking into the roleblock pattern a bit and also considering if the proper target was roleblocked, immediately continuing with the kill the next night would be incriminating.

Further, on my own review of the game so far I have noted that "flip hero" and "mother" might have been vital or important members of team... what, "threat?". It may have taken that team some time to build in strength enough to perform a murder.

Have any strength boosting items been given out?

Scanning for intruders. Inquiry subject unit azzaman.

azzaman333 is best.

Backwards Logic should be terminated.

Azzaman unit seeks command subroutine, termination of unit with malfunctioning logic circuits.

Seeks to terminate active unit.

Objectively I am a superior machine.

Azzaman unit uses human terminology. "Objectively" does not compute. Implies subject has human perspective and a subjective way of processing.

Azzaman unit communicates with Takhisis unit, a destroyed machine unit.

Negative. My capabilities exceed yours, thus making me superior. Your failure to process this logic presents as a potential indicator for humanity.

Unit processes machine target Takhisis as human intruder in error.

I agree with this, except all votes for Zack to lieutenant should be replaced with votes for me.

Unit concern level with command function exceeding standard capacity.

I am me and I support his cause because it will achieve our objective.

Danger: logic circuits malfunctioning. Reasoning is circular, overload in progress.

Azzaman unit communicates with Zack unit, a destroyed machine unit.

It appears the meatbag threat is capable of discarding the emotional response of revenge. Perhaps they're capable of camouflaging themselves amongst machine. We may need to devise an algorithm to trick them into exposing their soft squishy underbellies so we can extract their juices.

Query: What are juices and what purpose would it serve to collect them?

Azzaman unit communicates with Sprig unit, a destroyed machine unit.

I guess because he voted for jht.

Azzaman unit communicates with Zack unit, a destroyed machine unit.

Let's see what Coyosis has to say about yesterday.

Also, azzaman333

Seeks to terminate active unit.

Don't like this response. If you're happy with his response, why not unvote? Seems like a fluff post. Also the "I'm going to be away don't pressure me" part.

Possibly seeks to terminate active unit.

Autolycus

Looks like it's going to end up Auto v Kaiser and I don't think the Kaiser case holds much water nor do I particularly want to associate with those voting for him.

Unit presents no logic contrary to Kaiser destruction, or in agreement with Auto destruction, is still advocate for Auto destruction.

Auto is a terminated machine unit.

No, I thought that those on Kaiser were a more suspicious group than those on Auto, therefore making that wagon more suspicious.

Logical error.

Going back and rereading the night 1 update, it looks like Takhisis and Zack were both killed by fear/terror, while Sprig was killed by Flip.

New information not detected.

choxorn has been strangely quiet.

Seeks to terminate active unit.

Flip Hero's team is the scum team. Not sure if you're genuinely ignorant or just playing dumb.

New information not detected.

If this is going to be your sole contribution for the day then your termination is of no loss regardless of alignment.

Seeks to terminate unit which has auto destruct engaged.

unvote; vote: edse

Seeks to terminate active unit.

unvote; vote: KaiserElectric

Seeks to terminate unit which has auto destruct engaged.

vote: Winston Hughes

Seeks to terminate active unit.

Winston was instrumental in Double A acquiring the gun.

Response 01
Taken in isolation, that might look a little incriminating. However, when you consider that I was also instrumental in getting Flip Hero lynched (it was my vote which pushed him into the tie-break), you're then working on the assumption that I got a team mate killed solely for the sake of distancing and then, the very next day, made a blatant connection with another team mate.

Response 02
I think your play to get jht lynched is plausible as scum. Particularly when you consider that Double A was also voting for jht day 1. I could see it as being a coordinated bus for deep cover for the two of you.

Unless there's a scanner or something out there with something incriminating, I think this is the best lead we've got today.

Logic circuits overheating. Engaging cooldown protocols.

Seems a high risk strategy, putting the gun in the hand of someone with a private knowledge base. But then again, anyone's going to be a risk. I dunno. Jarrema wants the upgrade, so I'd rather give him that than the gun. Don't want to give him both though.

Logic not present.

unvote; vote: edse

If we're lynching someone who was role blocked, I'd rather edse for now.

Seeks to terminate active unit.

BSmith's posts seem to be piggybacking off other people's reasoning, asking simple questions or minor clarifications.

I want the upgrade and will assist others desiring the gun or the role of lieutenant if they can help me acquire it.

Seeks to terminate active unit.

Unit continues to process in organic fashion. Azzaman unit focus on self unit continues to exceed capacity.

Inquiry 01 complete.
Subject: Azzaman unit
Organic thought process: 07 instances detected.
Focus destroyed machine: exceeding probability
Focus destroying active unit: exceeding probability
Focus self unit: exceeding probability

Intruder likelihood: 63.074

Engaging termination process.
 
Has the blocker blocked Coyosis or me a second time? If not, why?

I have no active night ability so the claimed block didn't do anything.

Vote: Coyosis if she really was blocked two nights ago.

Unit edse monofocus is illogical. Purge programming, process again. Any block of this unit would be pointless. Unit programming provided in prior communication.

Unit Jarrema would also be accepted as target for termination.

Azzaman unit identified. Termination protocols engaged.

Azzaman unit acknowledged as tertiary target.

Unit Askthepizzaguy for the gun.

Unit coyosis for the upgrade.

Unit coyosis for lieutenant.
 
So what do you hope to do with the upgrade then?
To upgrade my passive ability.


Unit edse monofocus is illogical. Purge programming, process again. Any block of this unit would be pointless. Unit programming provided in prior communication.

But a second block would help us prove that we weren't blocked killers.
