NOTW LIII - Return to Ciretako [Game Thread]

[spaceman98]

I do have to wonder though, Winston: Unless you and Jarrema are a team (which from today's post seems unlikely (though possible), why did Jarrema keep you alive for so long when he knew you were a roleblocker?

 

[Askthepizzaguy]

What has Jarrema done to make it seem so unlikely, though?

From his network, Sprig and KingMorgan got killed, and Double A turned out to be scum. I'm not saying he's a villain, but he's certainly not cleared, and there's a loose end I've been chasing that could link him to spaceman.

Two infiltrators in a network seems excessive, but if it happened organically, by someone contacting Double A and Jarrema and putting them all together, it would make more sense.

How did the network originally form, and how did each person get selected to join it?

Is that safe to discuss?

 

[Winston Hughes]

Jarrema put it together. He told them he'd scanned them 'non-organic'.

 

[azzaman333]

But, for all that, I'm going to stick my vote on azzaman, because he's had enough time to cook up a plausible cover story by now.

There is no cover story. Every single contribution I've made to this game has been done in this thread. I had not even sent a single PM all game until you rudely interrupted my recharging phase last night, nor access to a QT. So I recommend you look elsewhere if you wish to find the threats to the town, because I'm not one of them.

 

[Winston Hughes]

I do have to wonder though, Winston: Unless you and Jarrema are a team (which from today's post seems unlikely (though possible), why did Jarrema keep you alive for so long when he knew you were a roleblocker?

Perhaps because he didn't know I was being protected. Nor did I, for that matter, but someone's saying I was.

Here are the claimed protections:

N1: Sprig (only one kill this night)
N2: KingMorgan
N3: Winston (only one kill this night)
N4: No order submitted
N5: Winston (only one kill this night)

Now, Jarrema says KM claimed protector, and to have protected him a couple of times. This is why I asked if KM had claimed to anyone else, because I only have Jarrema's word for it.

So we're looking at two town protectors and two town roleblockers, or someone's telling porkies.

 

[Winston Hughes]

Has anyone other than spaceman and Jarrema used an upgrade?

 

[Jarrema]

How did the network originally form, and how did each person get selected to join it?

I scanned Sprig to be non-organic. Then he created non-organic quick topic. Later, I scanned KM and he joined us. He also claimed to me that he is a protector, and that he will protect me because I am a scanner. Then, Double A joined IIRC.
Then, qt died. I am in contact with scanned person outside of it.

 

[choxorn]

What, Double A just "joined?" Who let him in? Someone must have given him the QT link.

There's something incredibly fishy about your story, and you've been acting like a total lurkerscum for days now.

Vote: Jarrema, unless you can provide a more satisfying explanation of the QT and your behavior in-thread than that.

 

[Jarrema]

by 'joined' I meant I scanned him and invited

 

[azzaman333]

For what it's worth, the final PM that Backwards Logic sent to me last night (in which he correctly predicted his own demise) included a strong defence of BSmith, who he said had been acting very townie behind the scenes.

It's worth nothing. I could just as easily claim that the last PM Backwards Logic sent to me last night said BSmith was clear scum, and there'd be no way to verify it.

It's much easier to act townie as scum if you're only fooling a couple of people in private versus trying to fool everyone else in public.

Azzaman as a lynch is fine (his contributions have been lackluster)

How so? It's not like I can just invent having a scan to provide some reliable information. I'm doing what I can with what I've got.

 

[Askthepizzaguy]

I think we're running around in circles a bit.

Jarrema, or whoever we think is the most villagery, who is the top suspect? Make them do a leans list.

I insist that it would be helpful to us in reading their behavior all game as villagery or not. Make them demonstrate that they've been looking for suspects and clearing villagers.

Make them say why they think the way they do.

Force them to commit to a read.

 

[Askthepizzaguy]

Choxorn, leans list. Do your job as a villager. Show me that you're doing it.

 

[Askthepizzaguy]

wth choxorn said azzaman looked absolutely normal yesterday, today he's saying azzaman is a top 3 suspect, with nothing in between.

This is choxorn's entire game.

Short name with a what? Do you have an error in your vocal processors, Takhisis?

Zack should lead us.

You just voted for me using Binary Numbers that convert into ASCII code for my name.... consider me impressed.

I also think that several of the reasons people give for voting KaiserElectric are a bit... odd. Something here isn't adding up.

Autolycus, my programming has determined from your post earlier about Kasier and Winston is very scummy, and that you should be terminated.

Why are you voting for him, azzaman?

Winston, your vote on john says nothing and you know that. You and john always vote each other on Day 1; it would be pretty suspicious if you didn't vote for him, regardless of your alignments. And you voted him about half-way through the day. Sure, they were tied at the time, but that hardly says you couldn't have done that anyway to distance and to keep up appearances.

A NOTW game with vanilla townies? Inconceivable!

My calculations have determined that Coyosis has the highest probability of trying to kill us all of all that remain, so we should lynch him first.

My apologies.

Correction: We should lynch her first.

I agree, this all looks pretty suspicious.

Vote: Arakhor

Scanning:
Unit Type: Azzaman
Designation: 333

Azzaman-333's behavior seems consistent with behavior normally expected of Azzaman units.


(OOC: Azzaman always acts like this and I don't find it to be terribly indicative of what his alignment is)

If only I could vote for all three of spaceman, azzaman, and Jarrema- they're probably all trying to kill us.

I don't have much time to think about which one to vote for at the moment, so I'll hold off for now.

What, Double A just "joined?" Who let him in? Someone must have given him the QT link.

There's something incredibly fishy about your story, and you've been acting like a total lurkerscum for days now.

Vote: Jarrema, unless you can provide a more satisfying explanation of the QT and your behavior in-thread than that.

 

[choxorn]

Well, I'm currently voting for Jarrema, so obviously leaning him. I'll be more convinced he's innocent if he can make the way his scan works more clear, and tell me how he's used it, because right now I'm a bit fuzzy on that timeline.

I mentioned already my leans towards azzaman and spaceman, pretty much for the same reasons other people have already said many times. More towards spaceman than azzaman, spaceman's behavior is a bit more inconsistent and I'm still not sure whether azzaman is being scummy or just being azzaman.

That being said, azzaman and I are currently the vote leaders, and if it's between him and me to die, I'll have to pick him.

 

[Askthepizzaguy]

Why did you reverse on azzaman?

Talk to me like you know for a fact I'm a loyal blue machine. I don't want a mislynch and your game looks objectively different.

See the multiquote, your game is short enough that I really want you to explain and go into detail about why you posted these, and why you voted these targets all game.

It won't even take long. Walk me through choxorn the villager, tell me what you're thinking on each step.

 

[Askthepizzaguy]

I replaced in yesterday and I'm top poster.

Seriously, where did everyone's talkativeness go this game? You'd think with two known dead hostiles people would be more energetic and enthusiastic.

 

[choxorn]

I'll freely admit it: I haven't been paying enough attention and I've been sheepishly following others for pretty much the entire game. Azzaman, like I said, is someone I'm really waffling on- sometimes I've thought he was town, sometimes not so much. My current read was based entirely off of things other people said today.

 

[Askthepizzaguy]

Not quite good enough but at least you're responding. All right let me limit it to these...

Why did you vote for Autolycus? Reason it out.

Why did you vote for Siscoy, or Coyosis, and then not follow up on that the next day?

I get why Arakhor, spaceman made a compelling case until Arakhor came up with a compelling-er claim.

Why is Jarrema your top suspect out of nowhere, when you find spaceman and azzaman also scummy?

 

[Askthepizzaguy]

choxorn/azzaman scum team looking likelier.

Either choxorn or azzaman, insert other name into the pairing. What do you have.

Jarrema/azzaman, choxorn? Why?

Azzaman, who is choxorn's partner? Spaceman? BSmith?

 

[choxorn]

Like I said: I've been just following other people and not paying enough attention. I can't even remember why I said some of the things I said.

I'm just a lazy lurker. That's all.
