A Tale of One City [Game Thread]

[Zack]

Tell you what. I'll give you the benefit of the doubt as well, at least for now.

[/b]unvote; vote: landlubber[/b]

Unvote, Vote: landlubber

He's the strongest candidate. And, almost as important, he's my candidate.

Might as well go ahead and lynch me, though, I'll probably just hang over everyone's heads like a loudmouthed piñata. I've already said most of the important stuff I had to say, anyways.

And you're not doing that?

Not at all, go ahead and lynch me. It'll be pointless and a waste of a day, but feel free to go through with it! Two scums have already been eliminated, what's losing a vanilla townie when there are still so many players left?

No, I'm just letting you know this whole case and bandwagon is dumb, as it's predicated on the belief that I play dumb when I'm mafia, which I'd like to believe is a false notion.

 

[Zack]

Lookie here choxorn, I even made a poster for the campaign.

 

[landlubber]

Despite the fact that I voted for Zack earlier, Bsmith is a stronger candidate in my eyes at this moment in time. At least Zack is making meaningful contributions.
Vote:BSmith.

 

[Verarde]

I don't think Zack is scum.

 

[JohannaK]

I don't know what to think

 

[Zack]

On second thought, the case on lubber's a little weak.

The case on BSmith has some strong things going for it, and some strong things going against it.

Unvote, Vote: Jarrema

I don't think Zack is scum.

I don't know what to think

 

[Kennigit]

Did Darth Caesar's brilliant logic and persuasive reasoning convince you?

Or was it BSmith's hubris? ATPG's nervous "please lynch that guy not me!!!" plea?

nah unvoted due to nobody's willingness to follow up on landlubber initially (people continued to go zack)

Despite the fact that I voted for Zack earlier, Bsmith is a stronger candidate in my eyes at this moment in time. At least Zack is making meaningful contributions.
Vote:BSmith.

but due this little gem I have to go back to unvote; vote landlubber

srsly landlubber? did you forget which game this is?

 

[Zack]

nah unvoted due to nobody's willingness to follow up on landlubber initially (people continued to go zack)

But didn't you say yesterday that you didn't want to be the umpteenth vote on BigTin, so you voted for someone else? Are you going back on that reasoning now, or what?

 

[Kennigit]

yes, essentially. But the logic is more applicable to proving innocence (I said, or at least meant to say, it wouldn't prove my innocence to add Xth vote on bigtin while trying to offer a future case might).

it's also good practice to may as well stack as many votes as possible on a well-leading lynchee in case of any "mafia needs X vote to be lynched" mechanic. In theory I should have switched my vote to bigtin at the end, but I didn't.

There shouldn't be anything in this game like that as all 4 adams should be equivalent, but it's good practice.

 

[Askthepizzaguy]

Oh you gotta be kidding me. Zack is panicking like a monkey that's had his banana taken away.

Just euthanize the lad so we can end this game.

Like I said:

If you are really so sure I'm mafia, then look at yourself. Do you think you're scum, too? You've done everything you've accused me of, and more.

 

[Zack]

And if you truly do think that I was trying to swing the lynch from BigTin onto landlubber, then why do you still list landlubber as a suspect? Hmm?

 

[Kennigit]

I believe that will be game unless the mafia are four in number.

Yeah!! Another one bites the dust...next lynch should be either landlubber, Zack, or Pizza. I think 1 or 2 of them are mafia (depends if there are 3 or 4 mafia total).

This game has alignment reveals on death, and the mafia have only one nightkill. Thus, the standard number of mafia (2) for a vanilla game this size would be unfair to the mafia. So, I'm guessing there's probably 3 mafia. The statistical probability of lynching two mafia - or, in other words/numbers, two-thirds of the mafia team - within the first three days is extremely, extremely low. There are 22 players alive, and let's for the sake of argument assume that 2 of them are mafia.

9.1% (2/22) * 13% (3/23) = ~1.2%

Just euthanize the lad so we can end this game.

anyways we need to stop these kind of silly things. There are 4 adams who are mafia. Considering atpg randomly had his little metagame thing about Diana today and has consistently been talking about "Ending the game" that's like +12 scum points in my book (not talking about the game set up).

Now that also should help people who are trying to read to find partners. I really think we should go landlubber full steam as he has...
1) done scummy things in past (previously elaborated)
2) ridiculous vote today
3) Zack is voting landlubber, so they wouldn't be the last two mafia (zack wouldn't call attention to landlubber if he had some weird I-won't-be-lynched-until-other-adams-are-dead

also, by same reasoning I talked about yesterday for atpg/classical hero/my responses to ninjacow, zack did have this day one:

Vote: Zack

Trying to plant ideas you are a townie on day 1 and switched your vote. That is two no-nos in my book.

bolded for emphasis

I'd like to think mafia don't call attention to their partners so early on. It's too silly of a gambit, at least one I don't think they would do so early for no reason. It's more townie points if people stepped in on when mafia slip up (such as BSmith catching ninja with a nice FoS).


ninja-edit- I fixed the quote for zack (bolded).

 

[Mergle]

Oh you gotta be kidding me. Zack is panicking like a monkey that's had his banana taken away.

Just euthanize the lad so we can end this game.

I can't believe I'm saying this after the complete nonsense ATPG has been talking all game, but I agree. vote:Zack. But if he flips innocent, it's last orders at PizzaHut.

 

[Kennigit]

eh worded a thing wrong, but not really supposed to edit due to game rules. It's "read to find partners [with the intention of looking for possible mafia partners]" instead of "trying to read.......to find partners".

 

[Askthepizzaguy]

If you are really so sure I'm mafia, then look at yourself. Do you think you're scum, too? You've done everything you've accused me of, and more.

Do.... I... think... I'm scum?

If you're town, then may I please quote Jack Nicholson as the Joker, when he said...


Maybe you're trying to pull off an askthepizzaguy impersonation just so you can ask that uselessly rhetorical question. Hypocrisy is the worst attack someone can use in mafia. "You lynched townies too!", "You defended scum too!".

Yeah? But if one of us drew the scum card, I happen to know that only one of us did. And I checked really, really thoroughly... I looked very carefully, and as it turns out, I'm just a townie. But I readily admit that given my behavior this past round defending BigTin, I gotta die.

It's just that, well, I happen to know lynching me won't cure the town of the mafia disease, so I'm being ever so kind as to point the finger at youuuuuuuu

 

[BSmith1068]

Despite the fact that I voted for Zack earlier, Bsmith is a stronger candidate in my eyes at this moment in time. At least Zack is making meaningful contributions.
Vote:BSmith.

Double down on landlubber guys!

Seriously, I think the next three lynches should be landlubber, pizza and Zack. I don't know that I really care which order that happens in, but barring some new revelation this is our best case. Good thing is we have the time to make this work.

Landlubber just rose to the top of the list in my mind though.

 

[Verarde]

I'll follow with vote: landlubber.

Again, I don't think Zack is scum.

 

[Zack]

Unvote, Vote: landlubber

Trying to kiss up to me now, too?

 

[Verarde]

Trying to kiss up to me now, too?

Are you talking to me? If so, no. I just don't think you're scum. If not, ignore.
