None Shall Pass 2 [Game Thread - Concluded]

(by the way, bandwagons suck)

I can only guess the purpose of winstons late accusal. It is just reckless though, expecially for how we view his faction teammate/s. It never was that I wanted Winston over Count Dingdong but simply that I couldn't abide by the poor and absent arguements. If he wants to pretend that I trying to manipulate the lynch so be it.

The funny thing is that i belived him for a while when he said he wasn't anti-town, the irony being that is was one of the jedi council who kinda unintentially convinced me. Basically a Jedi told me that Winston was part of the 'Empire Faction'. The Jedi said that his own faction VC was to elimate the Morgoth and Empire factions. I took that as it being possible that Empire was just a faction that mirrored The Jedi Council and therefor similar but counter goals. The Jedi also suggested that Empire recuirt "evil' aligned Starwars to their cause, hence the need for alignment scanning.

I thought that was nether here nor there but Winstons actions about telling just half truths like not talking about alignment, pretending he couldn't win, just didn't sit comfotably with me. Then his actions about going after me didn't signify Morgoth hunting, it was just Jedi Council hunting. He was thought i was one and was simply trying to caust doubt on me to help his teamates. Well tough luck winston. It hurt your teammates instead because now i doubt your faction could have won with town at all.

"Alright, looks like Winston Hughes is the clear favorite today. Any last words?"

"First off, I need to put on some music."

"Boombox is over there." Zack points to the side.

Winston pulls out a CD and slides it in (warning: explicit language).

"Martin had a dream, Martin had a dream, Wilhuff have a dream!"

"Oh, Christ."

"All my life I want money and power, respect my mind or die from Death Star."

"Get to the damn point."

"Fine. No one has any respect for performers anymore."

Zack rolls his eyes.

"I have a dream. A dream of a world ruled not by petty ethnic conflict, but by firm - but fair - government led by capable administrators. Free from religious zealots and narrow-minded attitude. We must strive to work for-"

Winston's passionate speech is interrupted by Zaccino's loud snores. The crowd is likewise ignoring him. Winston sighs.

"Oh **** it. Just kill me."

"Fine by me."

pew pew

Spoiler :

Winston Hughes was Grand Moff Tarkin!

Spoiler :

He was a member of the Empire!

I was hoping another person was going to die as well
Where is the carnage?

Why were you expecting someone else to die?

Not expecting, hopeing

Well, that was interesting. Blue is not typically used as a Mafia colour, so Winston seems to have been telling the truth about not being scum.

It also implies there are more Imperials, so I imagine he did have a partner like someone else mentioned.

Which explains why he wouldn't give up precise details about his goals when everything else failed to gainsway the lynch.

Here was his claim to me earlier in the day, for what it is worth.

Now would be a good time to come clean. Entirely clean.

I am not ready to hang you out to dry quite yet.

Ah what the hell, I'm doomed anyway...

I'm Grand Moff Tarkin.

The Jedi Council want me dead as part of their VC (given how easily that could occur, I'm assuming there are others they need rid of as well). For a major win, I need to see them eliminated. For a major or minor win, I also need to survive and see the Morgoth faction eliminated. At first it looked like a town win would suffice for the minor victory - there was no mention of survival in the description - hence Zack's clarification.

As well as having my scan ability, I can use the Death Star to make day kills, but only on odd numbered days (not including day one). My PG is to kill someone who would survive a nightkill, which is why I'd like a day to at least have a shot at it.

So Winston was a dodgy flog? Still reckon Dingdong needs to die tomorrow unless we've got a smoking gun on some other flog.

Flog, as in sell, or do you mean a poor choice?

You what mate?

No, YOU what mate?

Unless you're making an electionary reference, I'm voting you tomorrow.

Right. I'm heavily inclined to believe Visor because this is a Zack game, and Zack loves making weird roles (which is why I love his games). It also says "The bad guys could be anyone. Similarly, anyone can be good or neutral" in the freaking rules.

The Visor worded his VCs makes it look like he can win with the Sith (who were the SW mafia last time and probably are again) or either town. Zack probably created a role that would win with those factions and then decided Tarkin would be the guy for the job. I imagine there's also a seemingly anti-town but probably just anti-Sith character in the LOTR universe. I would probably have guessed Denethor but he went and died already, so I dunno. Gollum? He'd probably just want the One Ring. Guess we'll see Visor's alignment when he dies and then I can compare it to Jarhead's.

Who's 'Jarhead'?

Do you really think I'm that clever? And yes, I am aware that it wasn't very clever.

God no. But the alternative to Visor's spelling mistakes being caused by a phone is just too horrible to consider.

Haven't had a chance to learn it.

Apropos of nothing in particular, it's notable how, when we find someone's actions difficult to understand, we nearly always assume that the fault lies with them.

Erm, you were scum, Winston. Tough luck, you mere human.
