NOTW XLIV: Only The Strong Game Thread [concluded]

[Takhisis]

So?

 

[Visorslash]

Civcube will fight Verarde

Verarde on the *with reread* attempted distancing from Optical. Civcube because of my deceased advisor's thoughts.

 

[Visorslash]

We've killed off three scum in our ranks Doviello, and you have lost none. Disgusting.

Classical Hero or BSmith are other options I would also consider.

 

[Visorslash]

Speaking of scum, Dreadnought/Topsecret also apear scummy. One at a time however, and we'll take it as it comes. Verarde, you're reading the thread, your defence?

 

[Verarde]

Aye, I be reading the thread. Um. Could you explain what you meant by distancing? I voted for him, because I felt that he would be stronger than whoever I voted to face him.

 

[Dreadnought]

I'm not scum.

Voting for your mafia partner when it is unlikely he will be lynched. IIRC he was lynched that day or the day after, both of which makes you look townie, which is suspicious in my eyes.

And makes me perfectly willing to send you against CivCube.

I'm not scum.

Enlightening.

 

[Dreadnought]

Starting a wild goose chase, eh?

I'm not scum. I've done nothing to hinder the town or help the scum. I haven't hit bandwagons, nor been involved in the murders of the innocents.

Well, that's too bad. Maybe I voted for him because of the reason I thought above, and because there wasn't much else to go on. Might as well have someone who looks strong representing the Clan, eh?

 

[CivCube]

CivCube against Verarde. I can take him.

This is a terrible and scummy as hell defence.

I'm almost prepared to swap you for Verarde.

However, Verarde's reasoning is also pretty terrible so either one will do.

You know, whenever you want to end this pissing match and try to find some scum, be my guest. Putting unnecessary and unfounded pressure on others is, in my experience, the last gasp of a threatened scum -- feeling too much pressure.

The best advice I can give you is to think long and hard about what I've said concerning my role in the game, and realize "Oh, wait, that can't be a scum role, it's way too town-oriented."

Keep up this chase and you're obvious scum. If you're truly innocent, you'd realize that your "lead" is misguided, and you need to start thinking about other "tells".

By the way, you still haven't told me what evidence you have against me.

None of this is personal BTW: all in character.

OOC: Hey, Auto, could you fix the links to the updates in post 2? They all link to the same post. It would also be helpful if you could indicate which of the dead people are Doviello and which of them are Clan.

At least I'm suggesting targets. You're reacting to my accusations and trying to stay alive. Which I can understand, but don't particularly like. In regards to your role, we will see in regards to today's lynch.

I said you were scummy, never went and provided evidence. I'm not interested in your lynch today, I'm interested in Verarde and CivCube.

A note to Vigilantes of any kind, there are most likely scum amongst the Doviello. If you are a Doviello, I know it may seem unwise to target your own members, but you have a much higher chance of catching scum if you do so. Especially because you have found none so far. There are probably at least 3 more scum to find. (At least two RoZ and one MoM).

Anyone who has a role that may be useful in harming the scum, please contact me, I may have a job for you.

 

[NinjaCow64]

Civcube because of my deceased advisor's thoughts.

Interesting...

Civcube because of that and Verarde as a placeholder.

 

[topsecret]

I already was lynched. (Sort-of.)
Except for the random vote, I don't think I appear scummy.

Also:
My grandmother died today, so I might become inactive for a while.

 

[topsecret]

Here's my votes:
Verarde is suspicious, for sure, and not many kills have been going on until Mat93 showed up.
I wonder what these do...
Topsecret
Choxorn
mythmonster

 

[BSmith1068]

The Demagogue does have a point about the slave Verarde. He has been acting rather suspiciously this game.

Spoiler thread analysis on Verarde :

I'm not sure I can trust Zack about Alsark, seeing as how he is a dirty Doviello pig. And so young too. They are corrupted from an early age over there.

If we're going to have our people fight, I suggest that we pit the one who seems to be our strongest, against one who seems to be their strongest. Optical seems like a good choice to represent our Clan. And he should face someone of equal reputation amongst his or her own. Their Bison Rider, topsecret. Both ride difficult animals to tame. Who has more control over their beast?

@Mergle Both JoanK and Alsark are new to CFC mafia, and NOTW as well. Perhaps their bandwagoning is due to their newness?

and guys, lessee a little more roleplay. that's what makes NOTW fun!

This post has two scummy tracks to explore: Verarde is willing to put Optical on the block, likely not Rise of the Zombies. However: Optical votes for himself this round (post 97) as well. Perhaps he wanted to be in the fight this round and Verarde is helping him do that. Optical’s post 116 confirms that he was expecting a different result from that fight.

This is also an attempt to direct attention away from Alsark. Possible indicator of Mind over Matter alignment

That Doviello Tinker, JoanK...he seems quite desperate to survive. A little suspicious, I would say. Ah, but what would I know? I'm just a Slave. Still, I can't stand those accursed Doviellos.

Keeps the pressure on the anti-Alsark choice.

Ah, it is interesting how the Berserker so quickly, ah, took away his support of his soon to be chieftain and me for battle, ah. Ah, perhaps someone took him aside in private and whispered a few words of dicsouragement, hmm, ah?

This is in response to me changing off of Verarde and onto Alsark. He is exactly right as Zack did tell me privately why he thought Alsark was scum. Kind of ballsy, but there was not a lot of pressure on Verarde at this time, but my vote change was another nail in the coffin of Alsark. Yet another anti-Alsark-Lynch post here.

A Doviello is willing to do battle? Then by all means, let JoanK fight.

Well, well, well. So he even admits to it, the scum. How dare he betray our clan. Alsark, you shall face judgment now.

This is after Alsark confesses publicly. Verarde piles on the wasteful JoanK lynch and finally busses his partner. He does respond to me stating again that the JoanK lynch is a waste and unvotes him. But then claims he doesn’t know who to vote for as he hasn’t really been following the thread.

I also think that our dear leader Choxorn should say some things in his own defense. He is our leader, yet has not done much leading. He also came late to the Mat93 vote, and put him in the lead for the kill. This is either an honest vote (I did it too) or he was trying to save one of Takhisis or johnhughthom (topsecret also had a vote against him, but apparently it was his own vote. He certainly wasn’t saving me as I wouldn’t be bringing this up if he was).

 

[BSmith1068]

Just realized that Takhisis died last night. If Choxorn is indeed scum, I’d look at johnhughthom next.

Also all of these liquids will be in safe hands with me. If you feel you have a good use for them, then let me know.
