NOTW LVI: The Demon Council [Game Thread]

[Winston Hughes]

Winston has family to look after, but not asked for a replacement.

To be clear, I did ask for a replacement in both games, and, in both games, was told no dice. I've never been autolynched/wogged before, and I'm not about to let that happen now, so I continue. But it's skim reading and gut votes only from here on.

vote: Sprig

 

[Sprig]

This is both nonsense and scummy opportunistic criticism. Your characterisations of the role both Visor and the network at large had, is missing the mark.

You demonstrated right away that you are not to be trusted with claims. And you expected me to tell you? Visor confirmed that you shouldn't be trusted either. And you make accusations based on visor not telling you something... Dear me. I don't know whether to praise Visors paranoia or curse it.

I have voiced my suspicion of Sprig before, his d1 vote is typical of mafia. He is the player I know the least about by far. He requested something odd in private based on very cryptic reasoning.

Wanting to be cleared is not odd. I can't do jack otherwise. It is frustrating.

Tell me Sprig, if you find the scan choices so far to be so utterly laughable (and how do you know them all?), who would you have chosen and why?

I only know what you have told me/ in thread. But I wouldn't be wasting scans on people that have been acting scummy. (aka. Robbiecon) That's what the lynch is for. The scan is for checking people that are avoiding making waves and not likely to be lynch candidates.

But hey, there has been no evidence that the seer isn't actually a scumbag in disguise and playing you for a fool.

You don't think it wise to actually test if he is legit and remove lynch bait in the process?

How exactly have I demonstrated I am not to be trusted with claims?

How are you so sure Visor wasn't telling me the truth about stuff he didn't know?

You think it was wrong to put forward an accusation on a claim that directly contradicted something a dead townie told me?

Dear me. I don't know whether to praise Visors paranoia or curse it.

Say something useful or hold your tongue. If this is your town play, I don't understand what you're trying to achieve.

Wanting to be cleared is not odd. I can't do jack otherwise. It is frustrating.

Your request exceeded a normal wish to be cleared. Why are you now changing your story? It's also weird that you interpretate the results as a full clearing. A full blown innocence scanner seems unlikely in a Zack game.

RIP my life.

Uh, okay, I'm really late to get back with any sort of serious reads and it maaaay be 3:30 am. So gah.

I could be fine with a Robbie lynch, purely because his power doesn't really HELP town in a meaningful way. I'm really not sure what to think of Sprig and...

Possibly ask for IF to claim in private to someone town.

 

[bladescape]

Actually wait, does anyone have a tally?

I can get one if no one does.

 

[bladescape]

Spoiler Tally :

Takhisis 3 (Snerk, Arakhor, Internet Flea)
Robbiecon 3 (Takhisis, bladescape, Sprig, Al Sipsclar)
Sprig 3 (bladescape, Winston Hughes)
Internet Flea 1 (Al Sipsclar)
Snerk 0 (InternetFlea)

I'm leaving it at a Tie right now because I know there's a claimed tie-breaker and I want to test them.

 

[Takhisis]

Actually, that would be

robbiecon: Takhisis; Sprig; Al Sipsclar
Takhisis: Snerk; Arakhor; Internet Flea
Sprig: bladescape; Winston Hughes​

Why do you want to test the lynch tie-break on… me?

 

[Arakhor]

Well, when it comes down to it, we're actually testing the ability on all three people. I think it's an excellent idea.

 

[Takhisis]

Well, now you're being dishonest, Arakhor. It's only a tie between me and robbiecon.

 

[Arakhor]

If you say so.

 

[Takhisis]

3 people voting me, 3 him, 2 Sprig.

 

[Arakhor]

I was under the impression that Winston was shown to be a double-voter as early as D1.

 

[Takhisis]

Well, here goes…

x-post edit: ah, how interesting. The point I was making is that bladescape's tally is wrong.
The timer, I see, has run out anyway.

 

[bladescape]

Winston is a double-voter. It's a 3way tie.

 

[Takhisis]

Yes, yes, but you had Al Sipsclar as voting twice.

Incidentally, it's odd that no scum faction tried to bump off Winston, that we know of.

 

[Takhisis]

Question: is the timer off wonky again? Day's supposed to have ended and Zack is neurotically punctual, usually.

 

[robbiecon]

Vote: Takhisis

 

[Zack]

Sorry, just got home. Update will be up before too long.

 

[Takhisis]

Really? Let's try the tied vote again, then. vote: Sprig
