[Mini] The Court

[spaceman98]

actually, come to think of it, its better to vote SK now: if he is active, he will kill one of the active players tomorrow, leaving us in a situation where there is a serious risk of town death by inactivity. If he is inactive, then we are in the same situation as today. If one of the active players is scum (which at this point is very unlikely), they wouldn't kill SK, since SK is the prime suspect.

As spaceman just stated, No Lynch is a horrible idea.

I do find SouthernKing to be suspicious, especially since despite that he's stated he's on vacation in Switzerland he's clearly checking in and has posted elsewhere, but he does this a lot.

I also find JoanK to be suspicious. He's also acted pretty derpy and didn't do much or even vote much until Jarrema came under fire, then he started posting weak defenses of him until the end of the day, when he suddenly pulled a 180 and voted for him. Seems too much like a bussing. And if JoanK is townie, it makes sense if what JoanK told us about dukedom is true, but that's a big if. Otherwise it just seems weird.

Plus, Jarrema was first to vote for the Duke spots on Day 1, and voted himself on JoanK. Surely a mafia wouldn't be so brazen as to pull that, but mafia have done weirder things.

Plus, I have an out-there theory that JoanK and Jarrema started out as town, then became mafia upon being voted the two dukes. I know it's crazy, but it just seems too plausible for me to discard it, and I actually think it's the most likely game setup if JoanK actually is mafia.

Half of my gut is saying it has to be SouthernKing, and the other half is saying it has to be JoanK. I'm 99% certain it's one of those two. If it's Darth Feather, I'm going to be kicking my self for falling for his fake lurker move, and if it's Nintz, then I simply have to give Nintz a round of applause for an excellently played game; I don't see how he could be anything but town at this point.

 

[Nintz]

Well...you guys want me to vote?

Who, SK, or Joan?

A mislynch = Mafia victory. Remember that.

 

[choxorn]

And a No Lynch is probably also a mafia victory, especially if the last mafia is JoanK.

Like I said, I'm not sure. SouthernKing being the mafia sounds like it makes more sense, but I just can't shake my theories about JoanK and Dukedom.

Voting SouthernKing probably is better than voting JoanK if SK and Darth Feather don't turn up again, because if you vote JoanK then he obviously won't vote for himself whether he's mafia or not and the vote will get tied and no lynch will happen. Basically, if JoanK is mafia and the other two don't turn up you're screwed regardless, but if SouthernKing is mafia and the other two don't turn up it doesn't matter. Alternatively, you could just wait and see if one of them shows up and votes.

What do you think, Nintz? You're the one with the vote.

 

[Nintz]

Well...SK in particular was very scummy early on, to the point of being less scummy and more derpy. That's why I never followed up on votes for him, as most Mafias from my understanding aren't nearly that brazen. Joan has by and large been non-scummy in my view, but the fact that he is the only other duke does make it rather suspicious and difficult to prove or disprove what he says. That in and of itself gives me doubt. Couples with the fact that he has been rather unproductive despite his common posting. Darth Feather seemed obvious lurkerscum, but maybe not. That could be too obvious.

I'm leaning Joan here...but only barely. I'm concerned however, as if we mislynch Mafia wins, and if we no lynch they will probably go after me to prevent it being obvious who the scum is, seeing as how I am the most obvious town.

 

[JohannaK]

He was my fellow Duke, I was reluctant. And I am generally useless in spite of my regular posting. But I understaand, you are free to suspect me. But I wont be letting you mislynch me.

 

[JohannaK]

Enough is enough. SK has time for NES orders but not for just showing up to cast a vote? Vote: SouthernKing

 

[spaceman98]

On JoanK being mafia:

when we lynched Jaremma, he could have tied the vote, in which case it would have been no lynch, 2 mafia and 4 townies. 3 vs. 2 after next night, so if the town lynched correctly (i.e. everyone arrived and voted), 3 vs. 1, then 2 vs. 1, then the town wins. Hence, it makes sense for JoanK to bus. hmm.

SK could also be mafia per previous arguments. Also, he did post that he had no time to update SK NES, so his vacation is probably genuine.

Oh no...

Well, sorry town, I screwed this up utterly...

 

[spaceman98]

so yeah, to continue my infinite indecision, I now think JoanK is mafia...

 

[JohannaK]

It is reasonable.

 

[Visorslash]

Sorry for the delay, my back was particularly bad, and I went to bed fairly early.

In any case, I've found a replacement for SouthernKing (Autolycus) and since Nintz voted no lynch, and Joan voted SouthernKing (after the deadline, not that it matters), that there will be no lynch today, and there will be one final night phase, which I will hopefully end in 12 hours or so if orders are in.

 

[Visorslash]

End Day 5

Nobody was lynched, because nobody could make up their minds. Also Autolycus assimilated into the vacant host of SouthernKing. Welcome Autolycus!
​

Night 5 will end 12 hours from this post at 9:30 PM GMT +10. (Hopefully)

Alive:
1. Nintz
5. Darth Feather
7. JoanK
8. SouthernKing Autolycus

Dead:
9. Spaceman98, vanilla townie.
3. MartinLuther, vanilla townie.
2. Buddhafish, vanilla townie.
4. Jarrema, mafia.
6. choxorn, vanilla townie.

 

[Autolycus]

So, I get to step in, do analysis, and decide the game. That is, if the scum doesn't kill me first

 

[choxorn]

Well, the last mafia is obviously either you or JoanK, and I'm now leaning very heavily towards it being JoanK.

Someone go fetch Darth Feather and get him to vote tomorrow.

 

[Visorslash]

End Night 5

Nintz was killed! The remaining townies looked at each in fear, this was their last chance!
​

Day 6 will end 46 hours from this post at 9:30 PM GMT +10. (Hopefully)

Alive:
5. Darth Feather
7. JoanK
8. SouthernKing Autolycus

Dead:
9. Spaceman98, vanilla townie.
3. MartinLuther, vanilla townie.
2. Buddhafish, vanilla townie.
4. Jarrema, mafia.
6. choxorn, vanilla townie.
1. Nintz, vanilla townie.

 

[JohannaK]

Why replaced? Why not WoGged or why couldn't he just let be? Is there perhaps a reason for it? Vote: Autolycus

Last chance.

 

[choxorn]

Vote for JoanK. And can someone please get Darth Feather to get his posterior over here and vote? (For JoanK)

 

[Autolycus]

Vote:JoanK
It looks like DF hasn't really shown up all game long, so unless he's pulling the ultimate lurker victory, Joan's the scum. Plus he's voting for me.

 

[spaceman98]

Wait, can I send PMs after death?

 

[JohannaK]

Vote:JoanK

I could say exactly the same thing. Which is highly amusing.
