NOTW XLIV: The Root of All Evil GAME THREAD

[sirtommygunn]

I'll vote seon, both to keep myself from being lynched and for previously mentioned suspicious behavior.

 

[Kennigit]

Yes, I criticise Seon's claim for its sheer ludicrousness. And also for OMGUSing me and trying to lynch me in his stead.

why is it so ludicrous though? Ludicrous is that you keep giving our little flock of kittens-for-slaughter the good milk, instead of us drinking that ourselves.

More metagaming: some games follow lore more closely than others; I know one game I was the rathus denmora (the sidar shade game) and that role very closely followed ffh wiki. We're dragon hunters and grigori medics are common (again, no idea if that translates to the game).

considering the existence of the hoard of gold which we'll have to defend, it makes very good sense to keep potential doctors alive. There will be fighting over the hoard, and the grigori victory is to protect it. That sounds like a lot of doctor usage to me.

This also gives some more (or poorer cover role) credence to bad player, as the best role to claim as to make townies be scared to lynch would relate to control of the hoard.

what does a 3 time scanner have to do with protecting the hoard? Worst case scenario is that he was a faulty scanner and we waste a day of a lynch over someone who would be relatively "useless" in the hoard control.

Now it's never good to lose a townie, but worst case scenario of sirtommygun -> bad player counter lynch is losing some townie (sirtommy) and then a useless false scanner. That's in contrast to you, ATPG, et al. leading a lynch against a potential doctor that we need to control the hoard.

 

[Kennigit]

that's another thing I don't particularly like about ATPG's little statements today: I want that hoard, and I want it in grigori hands. You (takhisis) and him are too much metagaming around other game designs, at least in my opinion.

I'll make my interests line up for me to get that hoard from old archy the dragon. I can be wildly wrong in my assumptions, but at least that's where I'm trying to base my gameplay around.

 

[Mergle]

Badplayer running from his scan result looks pretty scummy, so does Seon's "roleclaim". Aaargh. Sticking with the sirtommygun vote for the reasons sirtommygun gives. And I hope he's a mafia playing the totally-reasonable townie.

 

[Zack]

@ Bad Player -- Why did you scan sirtommygun on Night One? Why didn't you even vote him or say anything about it until the last possible second, then not really explain it that much? Why did you scan CELTICEMPIRE on Night Two?

It might be suspicious, but then again you're the same guy who protected Jabba every night instead of your fellow pro-town power roles (whom you knew the identity of)...

@ NinjaDude -- Why did you reveal Bad Player as a (supposed) scanner publicly?

@ Seon -- Why do you assume there are other doctors? More than one doctor in a game is extremely rare. Unless you wanted to lure the real doctor into revealing him/herself to you, so you can kill them...

Something is fishy here, and it's not just that disgusting anchovie pizza ATPG is carrying around.

 

[Red_Spy]

I for one vote Red Spy.

Round over, writeup coming.

End of Day Three​

With only one more day of travel until the party reaches Kaluge, tensions ran high among the members of the Guild. Several different suspects caught the attention of the Guild throughout the day, and the Champions remained unfocused and hesitant to stick with one candidate for the lynch. As the sun set, 4 Champions were calling for the death of Seon. While this is far from a majority of the Champions, Seon had enough dislike to be lynched for that day. Although many Champions had high hopes for today's lynch, a review of Seon's personal effects made it clear that

Spoiler :

Seon was a loyal Grigori Champion!

Seon: 4
Bad Player: 3
sirtommygun: 3
choxorn: 2
Red_Spy: 2
Takhisis: 2
Verarde: 1
askthepizzaguy: 1
(I'd like to ask you all to strike out old accusations when casting new ones. A lot of people didn't follow this standard, and, as a result, tallying was rather painstaking today.)

Night ends in 24 hours!
WoG's will occur at the "Day" update; if you were inactive for this phase and all previous day phases, you're at great risk. I'll only WoG one person per update.

End of Night Three​

Many Champions were fearful of going to sleep tonight. After all, not a single foreigner had been found. During the night, the two assassins again left their tents quietly. The Ashen Cultist again drew blood from his victim, NinjaCow64. The werewolf again
left his tent and descended upon askthepizzaguy with a ravenous hunger and tore him to shreds. It was quickly determined that

NinjaCow64 was a loyal Grigori Champion!

and

Spoiler :

askthepizzaguy was a loyal Grigori Champion!

Naturally, the Champions were horrified upon seeing two more dead companions.
One Champion asked about SouthernKing's whereabouts. The man was missing, yet, unlike the other two victims, his body was nowhere to be found. Most assumed that the foreigners were growing more powerful. After some Champions looked for the missing SouthernKing, they found some ashes scattered a ways from the tent. The party didn't have a very clear understanding of what happened to the poor man. It seems he was in an unfavorable position with the Gods for his overly silent nature, and he met his end by the wrath of a God. The party determined that

Spoiler :

SouthernKing was a loyal Grigori Champion!

Disturbing as this thought was, they had no choice but to begin marching yet again. This was the final day before the party would reach the outskirts of Kaluge.

Day ends in 48 hours!
So far, bonefang is the only WoG candidate, but players who haven't voted since Day One will also be at risk at the end of the day.

LordNwahs6, answer for what I said yesterday.

 

[Zack]

choxorn

 

[Askthepizzaguy]

LOL!!!

Oh, that was a cluster and a half.

 

[choxorn]

Well... I seem to be completely wrong about so many things in this game.

Bad Player, I find it far too convenient that the player you were supposed to use your last scan on is now dead. Everything you have said about the scan and everything about the way you have acted is highly suspicious, and I see absolutely no reason why we should allow you to live for another minute.

 

[Zack]

Have you voted for Bad Player at same point in every Day Phase?

 

[Kennigit]

well sirtommygun

 

[choxorn]

Have you voted for Bad Player at same point in every Day Phase?

No. I'm fairly certain I didn't vote for him on Day 1.

 

[Kennigit]

actually sirtommygun; unvote for the time being.

ashen went after ninja, a quite pro-sirtommy lyncher, and that'd be too obvious. anyone could have killed atpg though. don't want to waste another lynch, per se.

will wait to hear if anyone has anything good to say.

 

[Bad Player]

The scan of ATPG was only to work out whether I'm a true scanner or a false scanner because ATPG had a good case that he was innocent regardless. I think it's more probable that I'm a true scanner so I vote to lynch sirtommygun.

If I was mafia I would go after choxorn who keeps accusing me not Ninjacow64 or ATPG who weren't accusing me.

 

[choxorn]

So, you did nothing last night, then?

And why would you kill me if you were mafia? Nobody believes any of my random rambling rants/accusations, killing me would only give me credibility and make you look suspicious.
