The Demon and the Magus: (50 years after the events of Swords and D20's 2)

“HURRY!” The Imp skittered up the dirt road, sneering backwards at the black robed man slowly making his way behind him.
“Quiet you infernal creature! I am the one running things here! I will not be talked down by a demonic little wretch like yourself! I am the one who will release this demon, and I will set our pace!” The Sorcerer smashed his staff onto the ground to make his point before marching on. The imp flew to his shoulder, Looking contemptuously at the sorcerer.

The fool. He may be in charge for now…. But not for long….. The imp thought, smiling. Lilith knows what she is talking about.
They marched on, towards a particular town, one with an interesting center piece……


--------------------------------------------------------


Balthazar slid an arrow from his quiver discreetly, watching the developing scene with deep interest. Three half Orcs stood in a triangle near his table, the one at the point screaming into the face of Balthazar’s master, high druid Orion. The Orc was obviously drunk, and was yelling for Orion and his group to get out of his seat. Balthazar looked to his side, at the third member of the table. Prawn kept his face unreadable, but to the perceptive elf he saw the subtle twitching of Prawns pointed ears, the whitening of his knuckles as his hands tightened on the table. The tension was palpable in the bar, but that was nothing new. The Town of Briarpatch had been facing the racial tension between its elf population and Orcs since its founding 35 years ago.
The town had started simply enough, a single chapel created by a man named Schism, who had long since died in a Ocish raid. People flocked to the area, as everyone knows money is to be made wherever a PC should flock. Much of the towns economy relied on selling average gear to PC’s for extravagant prices. But enough about Screwing with the PC’s. As one can imagine, the chapel was located near a stone statue, of a man who's tearing through a young mage. The town was young, and many knew of the old tale of gesunheit. But still, its specific were being lost to many, and none realized the evil locked into the stone.

The Orcs and the Elves Naturally hated one another, but both needed a place to live. The only place where they could make a living is Briarpatch, and so that was where they both settled. Balthazar had asked himself why they both lived there more than once, but he chocked it up to the expected demographics chart in the Dungeons masters’ guide. The two races hardly could go a day without riots in the streets and bar fights.

Thus the situation they were in was nothing new. The arrow he drew slowly moved up the rangers sleeve, hidden and ready If this fight escalated.

Orion raised his hands “Alright, alright, you win. We shall leave.” He nodded to his friends and all three left the bar, the orcs laughing at them.

Prawn ground his teeth “Those :daisy: orcs. We should have run them out of town years ago.”
Orion shook his head “no my friend, as long as we can live side by side without killing each other, that is progress. Our races must adapt. Times are changing.”

Balthazar shrugged “If you say so master, but we must be cautious. Something has them even more antsy then usual….. As if they are planning something.”


-------------------------------------------------------------------------------



It was a fight without a victory. A endless war swirling around and around, a battle in the center of these two beings mind. Reenkis and Gesundheit may have been physically bound totally in the stone composing themselves, but their souls and minds lingered in the stone, and their rage lingered as well.
First contact had been Reenkis’s, for the demon was skilled in mental magic, while Gesundheit was not. The mage had fought for a time, but for naught. His mind was overwhelmed and conquered, and for a time Reenkis lorded there, content. That changed after about a year. Sheer boredom drove the demon to leave the mages mind, and after a time Gesundheit put together the pieces. And then the fight began again. Reenkis held the advantage for some time, slipping in to shatter Gesundheits mind again and again, but every time gave up and allowed the mage to regain his strength. It became a game, and Gesundheit learned quickly. He built his mind into a fortress finding any trick he could to break Reenkis’s attacks, and after 30 years of this fighting he had become as shrewd and skilled as the demon. The game reached a stalemate, and both fought with no gains or victories.
That is the life that the two lived, one of constant combat and readiness. Neither knew how long it would last…. Perhaps forever. For a time Gesundheit hoped his party would come to his rescue, but after the 40th year he lost a great deal of hope, resigning himself to his new life.

Thus when the fighting finally ended and both were returned to their own flesh, Both Reenkis and Gesunheit were surprised, to say the least.

Gesundheit gasped for the first time in 50 years and fell to his knees, blood pouring from the wound in his chest, caused years ago, but still fresh.

Reenkis blinked and stumbled slightly, not really understanding what had happened. A sorcerer grinned before him his robes billowing out in the night breeze. The demon did a double take, seeing that he appeared to be in the square of a town, houses popping up all around him and shops as well.

“BEHOLD FOUL DEMON! I have released you from your bonds, and now I order you to serve your new master!” A imp on his shoulder laughed maniacally, and drove his spiked tail into the sorcerers throat. He sputtered and collapsed, dead from the imps deadly toxin.

The imp flew to the ground and bowed deeply, groveling on the cobbled floor. “Greetings master Reenkis! I have released you from your prison.”

The Greater demon smirked, and rubbed his chin. He saw his hand was decidedly too human and remembered his was still in his old disguise. He dropped it, and took his demonic form. The imp continued cowering, obviously terrified.
“who told you I was here?” Reenkis said.

“Lilith showed me your tomb, and asked that I lead the mage here to free you. She wishes to speak with you…… Lilith that is.”
“Then let us not waste any time here. Take me to this ‘Lilith’”

Reenkis spared a glance to Gesundheit, who was gasping and slowly bleeding from his chest wound.
“And there you have it Gesundheit. I win in the end after all.” Reenkis laughed and turned to leave, the imp leading the way.

(you may be asking why Schism and the others were not able to rescue him if this average sorcerer was. Its because a wizard did it)

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Steve awoke, feeling some kind of disturbance in the for….. I mean magic, yeah magic is what I was going to say. He left his small cloister in the chapel, walking to the porch to the towns square. And he saw a dying man sitting there, a huge hole in his chest.

“ahhh. That’s new.” He rushed to the man, and began chanting his healing spells, closing the chest wound and healing him. The

young man coughed, and opened his eyes
“I thank you sir. If not for you I fear that more than just my own life would be forfeit.”

Steve the cleric raised an eyebrow. “I am sorry young man? Whats going on?”

“it will be a long story, would you mind if I went inside and told you? For now just know this entire town is in terrible danger.”

Night 0

The town all gathered at dawn, the 2 corpses laid side by side in the streets. The Sorcerer was mostly untouched, his only wound a small poke in the neck, but the elf beside him...... Totally butchered.

Balthazar and the other elves stood off to the side, shocked and lost. A few snide comments came from the orcs, but on the whole they remained silent.... In fact for a long time Silence seemed to be the only thing in the town......

Finally Steve stood, face down cast.


"we have a problem everyone...... Demons have come to town. They killed this elf obviously, and we have to....."

Steve was cut off by Prawn " Bull :daisy: this was a demon! We all know who killed Matheas!" Prawn's face contorted in rage, and from the rest of the elves came a murmured assent.


Steve looked flustered "calm down everyone.... We have to deal with this in a orderly fashion! A new friend of mine has a suggestion..... We need to find these demons. So each day we will all vote for one of us to be killed, thus rooting out the demons among us!"


Ragnar Laughed "excuse plot!"

Steve slapped his palm over his face.... "IS NOT! Just get voting!"

If we all just vote no-lynch off the bat we wind up twiddling our thumbs until Sunday night. Might as well be a night start. So vote: askthepizzaguy for promoting a policy that would waste an entire phase. Plus, anecdote is a favorite refuge of the mafia -- can't argue based on your ideas for this game, since they're not the same as the town's, so you refer to previous games that seem to support your point.

I hate no lynch, despite there being times when it might be a useful option. I also hate relying on power roles to do our work for us.

If I ever run another game I'll probably allow no-lynch for every day BUT the first, just to be perverse.

Okay, personal preferences aside though, on later rounds there's usually more to work with than just random votes. On later rounds you have fewer suspects and more information, and your lynches are better. No Lynch is usually a terrible idea later on. Practically the only situation where No Lynch even works as a viable strategy is on round one, because it forces the mafia to do most of the killing, instead of helping them along with a bad first day lynch of our own.

As for not relying on power roles, that would be a welcome change. But that isn't the entire point; the point is, with No Lynch we guarantee that the detective, if any, is out there doing his or her job. The defender, if any, is out there doing his or her job. The roleblocker, if any, is out there doing his or her job. AND, there's a maximum number of potential candidates out there for them to hide in. In order for the mafia to make any progress here, they are the ones who must guess correctly. If they don't hit a detective or blocker or such, they've reduced the number of total suspects for them to hide in, and the town as a whole has gained much information.

Presuming the power roles can get that information out there before they die, they provide advantages where basic townies cannot. The No Lynch strategy puts maximum pressure on the mafia.

It's a bland as all heck strategy, but the reason it is employed at all in games is because there ARE certain situations where it is the superior strategy. Kind of like when there's one mafia remaining but there's 4 people in the game. You don't lynch, because your odds just became 1/2 of guessing correctly on the final lynch instead of 1/3. That's another situation where No Lynch makes any sense whatsoever.

This is why I don't argue against first-day no-lynches all that strongly despite my preferences. There are advantages to it. What I do object to is going for no-lynch as policy, right off the bat, without apparently any intention to try to put the slightest amount of pressure on anyone.


Presuming the power roles can get that information out there before they die, they provide advantages where basic townies cannot. The No Lynch strategy puts maximum pressure on the mafia.

And this is just false. Mafia face no pressure whatsoever with an off-the-bat no-lynch promotion. They're not forced to defend their opinions, they don't have to decide whether to defend or back up or ignore accusations against their teammates, they don't have to do anything. They chuck in a no-lynch vote of their own at some point and spend the rest of the time plotting in their Quicktopic. It's the opposite of pressure. I don't think a marginally reduced likelihood of the mafia making a good kill outweighs that -- that's my bias in favor of public discussion and argument showing, right there.

And really that's the heart of my objection to your post, ATPG. Not so much the voting no-lynch on day one, because despite my preferences I think the advantages and disadvantages are probably too close to call. It's not that big a deal. But doing so right at the start of a 3-day phase, backing up and giving credence to someone who had already done so previously, and hence greatly increasing the probability that the rest of the players would follow right along -- that I don't like.

Renata has a really strong point here; I don't advocate a misinformed lynch, because we could lose a vital pro-town role before they've had chance to do anything. However, at the same time I don't feel we're getting the most out of such a long day phase if our voting decision is defined by an arbitrary no lynch vote because it's the first day phase.

There are advantages and disadvantages to no lynch, and they warrant some discussion, at the very least.

The only pressure a mafioso would feel on round one is false pressure. There is no detective result, and if you get randomly lynched you get randomly lynched. There is no counter-argument to stop it. No one is really obligated to protest, because there's no case being made and nothing to say except "you're wrong". So other than putting on a pouty face (on my side of the monitor) there is no reaction to see. There is no "twitch". What exactly are you looking for?

You will either randomly lynch a mafia (kudos on that when you do) or you will pressure a pro-town role to reveal, which renders them useless and an early target. You're banking on the odds of actually hitting a scum as opposed to hitting a random townie who may not protest, or a pro-town role who might panic and early reveal. The scum on the other hand won't do that, because they have nothing to reveal and if they were to claim something that someone else knows is false, they'd still get lynched only with greater enthusiasm. The pressure you speak of only makes sense when there's a remote possibility of there being investigative results, roleblocker deductions, or defender's positive results, or at least a voting history to compare. You could accuse a mafia and bandwagon them all day on round one and get no reaction.

Well, I suppose that's assuming they are decent players. That might work against newbies.




And this is just false. Mafia face no pressure whatsoever with an off-the-bat no-lynch promotion.

You're speaking of a different kind of pressure. We're arguing past each other.

The pressure I refer to is not psychological; it is real. It is the fact that all the pro-town roles are intact going into the night phase of round one, plus 100% of the innocent basic roles.

Sure you could put false psychological pressure on someone, by all means. However, the odds are that after you do that, people would rather choose a candidate than actually revert back to voting No Lynch. And so the No Lynch option, which you regard as a viable strategy, and in my opinion is the best one here, is tossed out the window in lieu of betting that you'll guess correctly or the mafia will flinch. In my experience even when you vote the right person, they just accept it and die, and the odds are greatest against that scenario right now.


They're not forced to defend their opinions, they don't have to decide whether to defend or back up or ignore accusations against their teammates, they don't have to do anything.

They still don't have to do anything. At this point everyone has the exact same credibility. You can accuse them based on nothing, and they can accuse someone else based on nothing. There is no justification for it except the position that lynch is better than no lynch, which is very debateable. I simply disagree with you that the psychological pressure of a random bandwagon has any merit in a situation where no one could legitimately be asked to defend their reasons for voting someone.


They chuck in a no-lynch vote of their own at some point and spend the rest of the time plotting in their Quicktopic. It's the opposite of pressure. I don't think a marginally reduced likelihood of the mafia making a good kill outweighs that -- that's my bias in favor of public discussion and argument showing, right there.

Fair enough. I never said your viewpoint was illegitimate. This isn't an exact science. In my calculation, the odds of victory increase when we have pro-town roles and we don't lynch round one. This would be an illogical position if they did not exist, because there is no chance of moving in the correct direction in the night phase after not moving at all in the day phase. The only real option in a basic game on day one is to lynch, but in CDF's games it doesn't work that way.


And really that's the heart of my objection to your post, ATPG. Not so much the voting no-lynch on day one, because despite my preferences I think the advantages and disadvantages are probably too close to call. It's not that big a deal. But doing so right at the start of a 3-day phase, backing up and giving credence to someone who had already done so previously, and hence greatly increasing the probability that the rest of the players would follow right along -- that I don't like.

I understand your argument fully. I don't take it personally that you've made such an assessment. But I don't agree with your assessment and I'm confident that my choice is the correct one. That said I don't mind the debate about policy, because it rightly generates discussion, which is the only downside to the No Lynch option. You're only helping make the strategy work more effectively here, so kudos.

If Renata was mafia, this would be a very, very foolish and risky play, don't you think? Advocating a lynch when the general consensus has been established for the first phase and we're drifting towards no lynch at all?

That's terrible. If you're telling the truth, Centurion1, not only are you intentionally risking your own head, but you've removed all effectiveness your role could have possibly had this game, in addition to acting in such a nervous way as to possibly indicate guilt.

I've said it before, and so I will say it again: WHY, in situations such as these, do you not (at the VERY least) lower the risk of your role becoming useless and a night target by contacting one or two of the people in question who are voting for you and then tell them to give you the benefit of the doubt for a round or two. Then, they can lynch you in a couple days, or roleblock you, or investigate you, and see if your claim holds up, and then you can at least attempt to be useful during the game.

This reminds me of the Riftwar game where someone got accused early on and immediately revealed. That didn't end well. Don't do that.

Your probably right, it was just a vote based on what I saw, I certainly didn't see Renata to be under a large amount of pressure so it couldn't harm to apply some. It probably looks like I was sticking up for centurion a little to much (I don't want this to bite me later in the game) so just to clarify, I don't stick up for his suicide vote, if he is innocent hes being a bad townie right now.

You act as though those who have voted for you have no claim to do so though, Cent; you role-claimed in the very first round of the game, surely you see the fallacy in that? However you look at it, be you mafia or pro-town, it's a move that was only likely to end in suspicion.

Being new to the forums, and thus not knowing you very well, I would actually believe that had I not seen the extent to which you had people duped in Noblesse Oblige.

I actually had CDf PM me during that game maintaining that you were actually an anti-Kira hacker who had been working alongside CDf for a large portion of the game; he was absolutely convinced that you were pro-town, and entirely stunned when he realised who your character truly was. It was an impressive feat, to be sure, but it raises one point; if you can convince a close friend that you're not scum, what about people that don't know you?

Day 1 End

The Day was a long one, With a general trend being that many thought lynching no one would be a good idea. However, The acts of one Centurion caused everyone to pause….. His responses made him the number one suspect of everyone in town, who slowly but surely closed in around him, like a circle of Goblins around a rabbit…..

Uriel was sweating up a storm, his voice starting to fumble, running together into one big blob as he frantically preached his innocence.
“Please. comeoncomeon, don’tkill me! I have’nt done anythingwrong! I am tryingtobe good! Iam turning a newleaf! I Can’tgoto the abyss! I don’t wanttoend up a dretch!” The big Fighter started crying to himself, curling into the fetal position.

“Dude, hes SOOOO scum.” Beskar was lounging on the sofa, laughing at the description.
Cent sighed “when the heck did he get here? And No Beskar, I am completely innocent.”

“if you were innocent you would not be such a wussy!” Double A cut in, nodding.

Askthepizzaguy shook his head “no, its completely possible and quite likely that CDF would throw in some interesting character quirks into his roles, thus making them easier to characterize and differentiate.”

Beskar nodded “yeah, but he is still totally scum.”
Cent facepalmed, shaking his head.
Cultured Drizzt fan raised a quizzical eyebrow at Beskar “ehh, why exactly ARE you here?”

Beksar shrugged “I got bored, Came to visit. Hey, do you have Call of duty?”

CDF shook his head “uhhhh, no, no I don’t.”
Beksar sighed “fine then, I will do whatever you guys are doing. Cut me in or whatever you call it.”

“Cut you in??? This is not Poker…..” CDF rubbed his temple, already feeling the migraines. “But yeah, I could use another Player, BanditDog has been decidedly silent all game.”

CDF pointed to a broom with a shirt on it. “Yeah…… BanditDog lost internet access about a day after the game started……. Haven’t been sure what to do with him.”

“alright then, I am in the game! Does my vote for Cent still count??”

“uhhh, NO” CDF grimaced.

“:daisy:” Beskar said.
CDF coughed, and returned to his narrative.


However, the votes were finally read, and it looked like Cent had escaped Death once again! He was tearing up he was so happy (tearing up more than he had been that is)

But then Xena popped out of nowhere. No, I am not making this up, Xena showed up:

http://www.rankopedia.com/CandidatePix/25046.gif

She walked over to Captain Blackadder, Sitting in his lap.

“baby, why are you voting no Lynch? We both know that Cent has to be guilty!” She kissed the man on the cheek, and he started stuttering.

“ohhh, well! Uhhh Yeah, he must be guilty. I change my Vote to Centurion!” He moved in to kiss the woman back, but she simply put her fingers on his lips, smiling at Cent. “drop the act now honey, we both know you’re a Demon!”

Cent sputtered “NO I am not!”
The rest of the town shrugged “too late, you gotta die now.” An Orc moved in with his axe, slashing one of the Mans arms off. A elf fired an arrow at his throat, and Steve smashed him in the face with his mace. In moments the fight was over, and Uriels spirit departed, fearing beyond all else his fate in the planes beyond.

You have all Lynched Uriel, A mugger gone straight (Centurion1)

(Beskar has Replaced BanditDog, who can not continue with the game)

In any case, one actual good thing that came out of that is that we've been alerted to a vote-switcher in the game, and likely not a town-friendly one, because it's not very likely a town vote-switcher reveals his existence to the mafia for the lynch of an unknown. Not even a scummy-seeming unknown.

Also, I am nowhere near as awesome as Lucy Lawless. If I were, Cent would've been a demon.

TW games are very different from regular strategy games. It's kind of like Civ's campaign map with real time battles.

And the AI never invades islands unless the vikings and the Muslims are drinking beer together, on a blue moon, when the cow people of Uranus have descended from the stars.

Auto-resolve is where your army fights another army, and you are either too unskilled, lazy, or in a hurry to fight it yourself. It's like an Excel spreadsheet fight that takes place in a loading screen.

And the AI never invades islands unless the vikings and the Muslims are drinking beer together, on a blue moon, when the cow people of Uranus have descended from the stars.

The last strategy games I played were Battle For Middle-Earth II (I'm a sucker for a good licensed game) and Red Alert 3 (not bad, except for the fact all the cutscenes are fanservice for male gamers :sweatdrop:).

When playing on levels with major amounts of water and little landmass, I would have the AI sending naval/amphibious units at me constantly, even at lower difficulty levels. The harder difficulties would end up with me losing pretty quickly, and players... well I'd be rushed in the middle of building my base. D:

I prefer video games where I can enjoy what I'm doing and not worry too much about being utterly dominated by people who're far, far better than I am; shooters, fighting games and strategy are generally out the question as a result. Co-Op or single-player are my preference. :3

Night 1 End

Balthazar readied his bow, The Enchanted arrow sizzling and crackling on the bow string.
Revenge was going to be the elves! Was Balthzar’s only thought. He raised the bow towards the Bar, Waiting in silence for the orc party he had watch enter leave. A figure stepped out from around the bar, heading from the town cemetery. Balthazar was perplexed, and moved his bow to point towards this new target. The figure moved quickly, obvious intent on returning somewhere.

Well, this orc is not going anywhere! The elf thought grimly For only a bloodthirsty orc would be about at this time of night. (Irrational thinking FTW!) He held his breath, and aimed just above the targets head. The arrow whistled towards the target, the 60ft disappearing in an instant. It slammed into the Figured throat, causing him to howl in pain.

But Balthazar had a look of terror on his face. When the arrow had hit, the figures cloak had raised…… Balthazar then knew his folly. Even in the dark He could recognize the face of his master, Orion. He ran towards the downed figure, Tears swelling in his eyes as he threw down his bow and arrows.

Orion was near death, the arrow having blasted and then seared a hole into his windpipe. He wheezed, obviously in extreme agony. Balthazar held his masters head, pleading that he was so sorry, and that Orion could not die.

“Master….. No…. I couldn’t have. Please…. You can’t die.” His tears dripped down his long nose. Orion hacked a glob of blood His breath becoming shorter and shallower
“Don’t…… worry….. Balthazar…. It’s our way. Life…. ends in death. Keep fighting….” Orion died in Balthazar’s arms. The old elf went to his death smiling.

Orion the Elven Druid has been Killed (Double A)



Balthazar waited in the road cradling his master for some time. His eyes were distant, and he sobbed slightly. Broken, so broken that he did not notice the man walking up from behind.

“Silly little elf.” Reenkis laughed, licking a large claw on his left hand. “You need to be FAR more careful where you point your little bow. But hey, no worries. I am willing to put you out of your misery right here and now! But before I do, there’s one thing I want you to know first. I did not kill your other elf friend.” Reenkis Grinned widely “That was the orcs of this town. I have to admit. I respect them for that, Very conniving. But your squabbles mean little to me. I am here for one person above all. And he is not you.”

Reenkis Pulled a Trident from his spiked back, admiring the wicked things points. His Face beamed, his black scales shimmering in the moonlight. He punched out with the trident, and Balthazar did not even groan, simply smiling sadly. A single tear fell from his eye.

Reenkis glared at the elf “No screams? Fine, Ruin my fun.” He shimmered and dissapered, leaving the Trident lodged in the elfs back.

Balthazar knelt there, the wound turning black and charring as the trident worked its magic. Still he did not scream.

“Times are changing.” He said flatly, and The Trident sent a Black wave of flame blossoming from the wound, Burning Balthazar to nothingness.

I think I'll begin the day with a nice juicy vote on Thermal Mercury, whose vote for me in the midst of Centurion vs No-Lynch looks plausibly like avoidant behavior, and who replied with this when Secura questioned the vote (referring to me as either a brave townie or a stupid mafia, heh):


Your probably right, it was just a vote based on what I saw, I certainly didn't see Renata to be under a large amount of pressure so it couldn't harm to apply some. It probably looks like I was sticking up for centurion a little to much (I don't want this to bite me later in the game) so just to clarify, I don't stick up for his suicide vote, if he is innocent hes being a bad townie right now.

Why so concerned for what other people think of you later? And why ingratiate yourself with Secura without changing your vote accordingly?

Secura questioned the vote (referring to me as either a brave townie or a stupid mafia, heh)

Because only a foolish mafia would draw attention to themselves by deviating from no lynch; therefore, I guessed that you were a townie looking to stir up some more voting. I felt that someone voting for you didn't make sense, and thus took Thermal to task for doing so.

Renata didn't really need to be placed under any sort of pressure; to the contrary, anyone who voted for her would have stuck out like a sore thumb for leaping upon such an 'easy' target and fallen under pressure themselves.

I'm going to stick by my vote from the previous round, and thus I vote: Thermal Mercury.

I don't really have much to go on, but my suspicion is somewhat on Secura, because that was the last person centurion1 had suspicion of.

I think the last person he gave the finger of suspicion to was actually Renata, but it's swings and roundabouts, really. Barking entirely up the wrong tree.

His suspicion was essentially founded upon the fact that I voted for him after what appeared to be a scumtell; a mafia role-claiming to attempt to keep himself alive until the night phase. The other perspective was that he was simply a very foolish townsperson. Would you have taken the chance that he was simply a townie after such a public claim?

I chose not to, and while I regret that Cent was a townie, I do not regret the logic behind the vote on him, as I'm sure others would attest to also.


I have a "gut" feeling on AVSM...Vote:AVSM (Better to keep a BIG bandwagon on someone to make that vote-switcher not mess around and lynch someone else at the last minute:furious3:)

Mmmmhmmm. C'est intéressant.

I'm curious as to what this gut feeling of yours is based upon and why there should be a 'big bandwagon' on AVSM; there's much sounder reasoning behind the votes of Thermal Mercury, really.

"gut feelings" can't be explained.....but I am right almost 80% of the time:bounce:

TH is acting scummy:inquisitive:....but I would rather have two suspects up there then just one...it might make one of them "crack" and reveal:smoking:

That's weird. One would think that the different races would know the others of their kin. Either Yaro made a big mistake or we have a person with the ability to switch people in the game. :shrug:

Anyway, I support the pressure on TM, at least there is more to go on than W_E:D gut feeling, no offense. :grin:
So, Vote: Thermal Mercury.

Vote: Captain Blackadder, that post so obviously contains a codeword for some evil demon related grouping.

This post.

The round had already been decided. 5 votes and 4 votes, IIRC... yet he's voting for someone he knows won't get lynched. With a silly reason, to boot.

Alright, I see, forgot about that.
I still think the pressure should stay on TM for now though, let's see how he explains himself. But it can only help if there is some pressure on other people as well.

Interesting, I am part of a townie group that used codewords to recognise each other. I was working on the assumption there were other townie groups and was trying to flush somebody out. The fact you seem to be unaware of the use of codewords makes me wonder if you are scum.

Vote: Atpg

Like the dwarves, especially that drunken oaf who roleblocked me by singing outside my room last night. I don't have any night abilities and your serenade was a wasted effort. Any chance this dwarf has the courage to come out and back me?

That sounds plausible, actually. I assume there are others who could verify that.

You recieved a PM stating that you were roleblocked, then? A curious thing to be informed as such if you have no night abilties. You may not have night abilities, but you could have an ability that works during the day, no?

Also, I have been in contact with the Dwarf you are referring to and they are unlikely to claim in public. That's like running across the 38th Parallel spouting anti-Korean expletives; they'd just be begging to get killed.

For what it's worth, I don't think you're guilty JHT.

You got roleblocked? How many roleblockers are in this game, if we are to take Centurion1 seriously, that's at least two so far.

I echo the "don't reveal" sentiment. It's not worth it folks.

03-02-2010, 14:17
Actually that's all I wanted Secura, for the Dwarf to contact a third party, wouldn't want a townie role compromised. I have actually heard the dwarf may have been protecting me, I assumed it was a roleblock from the pm.

I'd re-read that message. I have reason to believe the defender was defending someone else last night.

Secura
03-02-2010, 14:20
You were under their protection, yes.

Though the singing was an unfortunate by-product of having a stout Dwarf guard you; I hope you sleep more soundly in the future.

I'll also add that I, too, haven't heard anything about secret codes and such. Quite baffled by that notion, personally. :3

The dwarf was singing outside my room and checking on me every so often so it must have been a protection on me. Any idea why Secura, I would have thought the dwarves would have been protecting themselves?

The game doesn't need to be based upon race or creed; we're all working together to fight these demons.

john, usually in CDF's games when someone is roleblocked, whether they were trying to murder or commit an action or not, there's a paragraph or so of story stating that. I don't expect it would happen in a defender's case, though... it sort of ruins the whole point. He's not done that before.

I think you were defended.

Thermal
03-02-2010, 18:47
I think I'll begin the day with a nice juicy vote on Thermal Mercury, whose vote for me in the midst of Centurion vs No-Lynch looks plausibly like avoidant behavior, and who replied with this when Secura questioned the vote (referring to me as either a brave townie or a stupid mafia, heh):



Why so concerned for what other people think of you later? And why ingratiate yourself with Secura without changing your vote accordingly?

Hmm, convenient that your here to stir up trouble as soon as the night ends, very cunning of you, Renata. :bow:

It is also convenient that you only quoted the last paragraph of my reply to Secura, which didn't include your scummy vote:


unvote, vote Centurion1

Because I can.

Nor my reasoning.


Not giving any answer to centurion's thoughts of not lynching anyone, but rather just transferring her vote in OMGUS style.

As for not changing my vote, I didn't see any better candidates, no specifics made me think you were innocent and as so still happy to keep my vote onto you. What I do notice Renata is that you commit OMGUS styled votes at each point possible in this game which seems only to be a vendetta, because I voted for you last round, which overrides any decent reasoning you would otherwise of had (not that it took anyone here long to follow in your footsteps).

vote: joooray
FoS: Khazzar

Mindless swaying with the first piece of weak reasoning in sight, starting a bandwagon. (3rd vote is a bandwagon) at least Secura thought her vote out more.

It's probably BS.

TM, if you want to characterize my votes as OMGUS/vendetta that's your prerogative, but I really thought you knew me better than that. There was a close question of Centurion vs. no-lynch at the time you voted, and you chose "neither". Mafia do that sort of thing disproportionately. And you didn't address the defensive "I hope this doesn't bite me later"/"I know this looks like I'm defending Centurion" business.

well it's awfully silly to vote for atheotes when he's limp as a ragdoll and there's a berzillion (trademark 2010 Askthepizzaguy) votes on Thermal.
