Mini Game: Vanilla Game 6 [Concluded]

[atheotes]

You know for a fact that everyone has magical powers?

[Montmorency]

That's the implication. The game's setup does not suffer vanilla.

[atheotes]

non-vanilla doesnt mean magical to me... you have a magical role and you are assuming everyone does?

[Montmorency]

Don't get in a semantic knot. Whether abilities are supposed to be literally magical or not is irrelevant. The point is that there are quite a few abilities/powers floating around, some more unusual than others.

[atheotes]

ok. You are voting for me because you think i am the communist. The way i see it, that is the only case against me.
Why do you think i am the communist?


Also, Salmon needs to be monitored. His vote on Monty - the possibility of the "God of Love" being scum are slim, but he could be the third party - and his support of me, can be something of a mafia tactic. The alignment reveal upon my death will show that i am a townie, which the mafia probably assume already. Salmon might come off as someone supporting a townie. Also consider that fact that his vote support of me is so late, that i am doomed anyway.

[Montmorency]

It is not by me unheard of, that a role may possess a clause whereby a successful No Lynch, if the role occupier contributes to it, will cause the random resurrection of a dead player.

[atheotes]

ok...so your contribution to the game was the Communist role. But you are barking at the wrong tree.

[Montmorency]

No! I said no such thing. I don't know what you're talking about.

[atheotes]

Is there no chance of me surviving the day? Monty, i hope you werent doing anything pro-town last night!

[SalmonSoil]

You mean like in that very post, wherein was quoted the very post that held the answer?

Please, take a look at who Nightbringer and Daveshack voted for yesterday. Take a loot at the content of my posts yesterday.

Usually at this point I would expect a player to declare they were the God of Love, instead of telling everyone to figure it out themselves. Nightbringer and Daveshack voted for you. Then they both got night killed and were revealed as lovers. At the same time you were posting mafia related lyrics about love. I'm assuming you made them lovers, then unlucky Daveshack got night killed and as a condition of being a lover Nightbringer died. Your assumption that Daveshack is cool means that possibly Nightbringers death bought him back to life, but that might not be true. You see how it would be easier if you just explained to us what happened? I for one have never encountered a God of Love in mafia before.

I see now that you can't reveal what you think Atheotes is because you believe he has the role you designed. From what I have gathered that role uses no lynches to fuel resurrections and from you statement on immortality possibly makes the player invulnerable to lynches and other deadly effects. These resurrected players are harmless themselves but are of some use to that role, perhaps fueling its immortality? Maybe they act as human shields for this role. This is why you are vague about it, and i can see why it would be a dangerous role in the hands of a communist and why we should suspect everyone who voted no lynch for having it.

Almost as if I had realized that I would need to cover for the fact that I didn't know about them?

When I wrote that post I thought you might have some sort of power giving you information on other players, then hinting heavily at a role that was about to be revealed would give you evidence to convince people to follow your lead in the future. This was because you being the God of Love didn't seem to explain your knowledge of Atheotes, I now see where that knowledge comes from.

I am, as Crow deduced, the God of Love. Not clear? As for atheotes, I am restrained to say. I can only be oblique.

Thanks for the reveal.

If that were the whole point, I should rightly be lynched as having already used my ability to its extent. In fact, however, Town's goal is to prevent hostiles from effecting their bone-melting potential.

What are your Fabulous Magic Powers, then?

Clearly its not the point, and I haven't acting according to that impulse. I'm just saying it is understandable that on day one you might be reluctant to destroy part of what I'm sure is a beautifully diverse range of powers.

At the time I wrote that it hadn't occurred to me you would be vague over Atheotes because the rules required you to, and that the only explanation for your campaign against him had to be some sort of power giving you knowledge of his role. Given this it seemed reasonable to demand you explain why you knew about him as well as Daveshack and Nightbringer. However I don't think everyone should be obliged to role reveal, it would be too easy for scum to just make up a role that seems non-threatening, and they can't be called out on it. Basically, I see no reason why I should reveal my role.

I'm would remove my vote from you, because I no longer think you are guilty, but at the moment Atheotes is pretty much lynched anyway, and to make sure you don't have to worry about me trying to resurrect anyone, I don't want to vote no lynch.

And I'm sure that either the host doesn't mind you indicating that you think a player has the role you invented, as long as you don't give any confirmation to other players if their guesses at the role are correct. You should maybe check that.

[Montmorency]

For the record, I never said anything about the role I submitted. This is merely a potential ability I have knowledge of; I can not of course comment on whether or not I included any such thing.

I merely realized that certain developments could be interpreted as a fulfillment of certain criteria...

[atheotes]

Monty, i hope you werent doing anything pro-town last night!

[Montmorency]

Why? Do you have clearance to explain?

I can't do anything anymore anyway.

[atheotes]

I dont know if i have clearance. I want to do my bit for the town befor i die. A simple yes/no might suffice.
Depending on your answer I may or may not change my mind.

[Montmorency]

I performed no action during N1.

[atheotes]

A shame then - i will have no impact on the game.

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

"Daykill: Self”.

[Montmorency]

No! With 10 players at start, there is a free kill before extra kills reduce the number of rounds.

[atheotes]

If you are so sure i am the Communist, why do you care?

[Montmorency]

OK.

The lynch will put paid to your threats and blandishments, creature.

[atheotes]

I am not going to be lynched!

[Montmorency]

Men, stop it quickly - it's transforming!

Send in everyone!

[BSmith]

unvote; vote: Monty. The lynch on atheotes looks like it will go forward, but just in case he is able to day kill himself then we need a second lynch option. Monty fits that bill for two reasons:

1. He has already stated his ability is pretty much done with, so he is essentially a vanilla townie (if he is indeed town). I’d rather lose a vanilla townie over a non-vanilla one.
2. If atheotes is indeed town, then this is a good secondary option since Monty was his main accuser.

[SalmonSoil]

If Atheotes is truly town he wont day kill himself unless he is certain of Monty's guilt.

[atheotes]

there are other reasons to day kill myself.

But you guys should lynch BSmith...he just wants to get rid of as many as possible.

[Visor]

Day Over, wasn't here when round was over, sorry.

[LazyMcCrow]

I agree. I don't agree that role-reveal is against the spirit of the game though - I initially asked for more details of your role because 1) You were accused based on role and that I felt you needed to do something pro-town to save yourself. I think you just got all curmudgeonly for being targeted. I also think that you are probably town. unvote: vote: BSmith

[LazyMcCrow]

NO!
face
palm

[LazyMcCrow]

meh. Unless there is some power role based on voting strength in play, I don't think my vote switch would have made any difference to the result. I think atheotes would still be in front by a nose

[Visor]

The town gathered around Monty and Atheotes. They argued and argued about which one to lynch. Eventually it was decided that Monty would die.

They beat the crap out of him until he was unrecognisable.

Atheotes killed himself.

Something of a blow...
