NOTW XLIV: The Root of All Evil GAME THREAD

[Zack]

For the umpteenth day in a row, Takhisis.

 

[Kennigit]

What we do have proof of is the inexistence of Mafia of any sort in this game.

??? I am actually confused by this????

there are sheiam and doviello spies trying to take the hoard afaik

 

[Zack]

What we do have proof of is the inexistence of Mafia of any sort in this game.

Lordnwahs6 being voted is just one straw I was pulling at. Why does everyone insist on pouncing on me instead of trying anyone else? The larger bandwagon makes it easier for the scum to hide.

incongruous

 

[Takhisis]

This is a NotW game! THERE ISN'T ANY MAFIA!

 

[Autolycus]

I'm not sure about Takhisis, but I don't like Verarde's bandwagoning.

 

[landlubber]

Round over, writeup coming.

End of Day Six​

The Champions were still feeling very triumphant and patriotic when they began marching home on the sixth day. However, because Champions were still disappearing at night, the Champions felt that they needed to continue to select lynch candidates, so that the Party would be completely safe on their journey home.
The popular choice today was Takhisis. Takhisis seemed to be frustrated that no one was listening to him, but, at the end of the day, he had the most votes by far. He was quickly killed. Once his possessions were searched, though, no Sheaim or Doviello trinkets were found, unlike the confirmed traitors that had been killed. The Party concluded that

Spoiler :

Takhisis was a loyal Grigori Champion!

Someone also noticed the body of Bad Player, still lying dead from where the Champions had killed him. Something was very different, however. He was covered in fur, had bloodshot eyes, and a face like a dog. "Werewolves can continue to transform after they are killed," someone recalled. The evidence was clear:

Spoiler :

Bad Player was really Baron Duin Halfmorn, the lycanthropic Doviello noble!

End of Night Six​

The man devoted to the Ashen Veil had but one thing on his mind: find the Dragon's Hoard and lead the Sheaim peoples to become the most powerful nation in the history of the world. Of course, he would have to find the Hoard first.
On this night, his lucky target was Kennigit. The man crept across the camp to Kennigit's tent, and poked his head in, looking for a chest filled with unfathomable riches. He did not find it.
The man's eyes filled with rage, and, just after entering Kennigit's tent, stabbed at his throat furiously. He then began to carve Kennigit's body into very small pieces of flesh. Within a few hours, the man wasn't even recognizable.

In the morning, the remaining Champions performed another quick examination of Kennigit's personal belongings and found nothing that would indicate guilt.

Spoiler :

Kennigit was a loyal Grigori Champion!

The Champions also noticed that another man was missing; CELTICEMPIRE, an unusually silent man who hadn't said anything for five days. It has been said that the Gods do not like silent men, so the only conclusion could be that he succumbed to the same fate as some of his earlier companions; death by the Gods. The Champions looked over his belongings as well and found that

Spoiler :

CELTICEMPIRE was a loyal Grigori Champion!

Dismayed, the Champions set off on their seventh day. It was only three more days and nights until they would reach Grigori lands, though many feared that the party would not last that long...

It is now Day Seven!
Day ends in 48 hours!

[Mergle]

Thanks autolycus. Most suspicious to me look like Daveshack, but he did go after badplayer on day 4 and Zack (went for takhisis, choxorn, two active now known proved innocents on little basis) . But theres not a lot in it that I can see.

 

[Autolycus]

Alright, now to try to do some analysis:
Loosely, we can divide into a few categories:
Inactives/uber-lurkers:
BigTin , LordNwahs, and Red_Spy (haven't voted since day 3, WOG-bait if they don't vote today)
No good reads due to inactivity, but WOG possibility means voting them doesn't make sense

Active major talkers
Zack
Early on the bandwagon the day Red Player died, so probably not werewolf
classical_hero
vote for bad Player day 3 makes me think he's not a werewolf

Intermediate Players
verarde
myself
Daveshack
mergle

Votes on Bad Player Day 4 don't count for much, since his mates might have known he'd survive.

I have some inclinations, but I'd like to see what other people have to say before I decide where to vote.

 

[Takhisis]

See? I was town.

 

[DaveShack]

Zack
Early on the bandwagon the day Red Player died, so probably not werewolf

Actually, I was thinking the opposite. If Zack were a wolf and knew Bad Player was going down (and that vote was pretty predictable from the previous day), it would be smart to get a quick vote in for the sole purpose of diverting suspicion later.

What's worrying me is that we probably have at least one more of each baddie type, perhaps even two each. We've got to get them all.

 

[Zack]

Really, DaveShack? You're voting me for no reason other than that I voted for a confirmed wolf? Your reasoning for voting me applies to practically everyone else, too.

Really, Mergle? Bad Player is the only baddie to be lynched, and I voted for him. Just like DaveShack, your reasoning that I've voted for innocents also applies to everyone else.

Personally, I vote for classical hero, for posting a lot, but never saying anything more than a one line explanation for jumping on a bandwagon.

 

[classical_hero]

Bad Player is a werewolf, but is a neutral character, most likely an SK. We have lost one sheaim spy, only due to inactivity. Considering we have 24 players i will say we have 3 traitors in our mist, so we need to get two people very soon. I think we have one lurker as a traitor, but which one, since three more should have been wogged by now. I don't think Daveshack's reasoning good, since I am certain the Bad Player is by himself as a loner, so I don't think it would be Zack. Verarde seems a good guess right now.

 

[Verarde]

DaveShack, your reasoning to vote Zack is too flawed. There is too much possible wine going around.
classical_hero, I think you do need to start providing more basis for your votes. Just a random "guess" is not sufficient.
Autolycus, thanks for the list.
Zack, I think you're right. My suspicion now lies upon DaveShack, Mergle, and classical_hero.

If Bad Player were solo, what good would be the one day delay on reveal? I think we had either a two and two or three and two setup, so we have one werewolf and one or two Sheaim left. bonefang wasn't wogged until he missed four votes in a row, which is what all three of them will be at if they don't vote today. I'm going to accuse Daveshack for the moment.

 

[Verarde]

Sorry for the random spam, but sign ups for The Wild Wild West: A Small Mafia Game are now open!

 

[Mergle]

Imph. Good reasoning by Zack - as I noted, I couldn't get too much out of the voting pattern but didn't want not to put my chips down. Good arguments against both CH and DaveShack. My prior suspicions against DaveShack (quick to jump on Takhisis, which I wasn't too suspicious of at the time as Takhisis looked dodgy to me, now responding to my vote for zack marginally over him by jumping on zack...) I'll go with DaveShack.
