[Council of Villains] A State of Corruption [Concluded]

[Chaotix]

Darkness. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=42u0KB6f5eU)

Silence.

In the deep depths of space, there is no light. There are no sounds. It is an eerie sort of quiet, a nothingness that chills to the bone and fills one with despair. An eternity could be spent in such a state without interaction with any other living being.

And it this feeling of emptiness, which the Hunter had been so accustomed to in short durations, that now occupied every fiber of her being. That is, until it began.

Suddenly, blinding light.

A surge of warmth. Power. Life. Existence.

But despite the surge of energy, the Hunter could not shake the feeling of a shadow, hovering over her mind and watching her thoughts. It was ever present, and seemed imposing until it was concentrated upon, after which it would dissipate and reform in another spot. But the Hunter did not mind the Presence, because the Presence told her not to mind it. The Presence was what gave her life, and strength, and the Hunter liked such familiar feelings, so long deprived of them.

The Hunter slowly opened her eyes, which glowed an unnatural red.

All was blurry at first, and she saw only a large silhouette against the bright light, towering over her.

“BWAHAHAHAHAR!”

Chaotix presents...


A STATE OF CORRUPTION

Note: All write-ups (including the one above) have music links embedded in the text. I encourage you to click them to make the experience more immersive.

Welcome, everyone. This is the third large game in my Council of Villains series, entitled “A State of Corruption”.

I’m not going to give too many details about the game; a large part of it is you figuring it out as you go along. You might think of this game as something of a cross between Sigurd’s Star Wars and TinCow’s Rubicon, but it’s more nuanced than that. I mention Sigurd’s Star Wars and not ATPG’s sequel to the game, because there is a power-up system, but it is much more simplified and nowhere near as complicated as Fall of the Order’s.

Basically, you can think of there being two towns, two mafias, and perhaps a few who don’t fit into any of those categories. And everyone will have the ability to gain powers both offensive and defensive- though it is never guaranteed.

As for the story, I won’t say a word on what’s come. It will all become clear in time. However, since the last Council of Villains game was so long ago, I’ve prepared a refresher in the form of a flowchart for the events of the past few games:

https://i709.photobucket.com/albums/ww93/Chaotix2732/A%20State%20of%20Corruption/CouncilofVillainsFlowchart-1.png

If you want the full story, I encourage you to take a look at the game threads themselves:

The Council of Villains (https://forums.totalwar.org/vb/showthread.php?116824-The-Council-of-Villains-Summary-Thread)
The Missing Link (https://forums.totalwar.org/vb/showthread.php?120550-Zelda-Mafia-The-Missing-Link-(Concluded))
The Koopa Troop (https://forums.totalwar.org/vb/showthread.php?123403-Council-of-Villains-Series-The-Koopa-Troop-(Concluded))

The rules are fairly simple; standard affair for mafia games.
-During the day, you vote for someone to be lynched, using the format Vote: Chaotix. If you want to change your vote, use Unvote: Chaotix first or else your original vote will be the one counted.
-You may NOT edit your vote out of a post. You may edit a post with a vote in it so long as the edit does not affect the vote.
-You may Vote: Abstain to show you are present but wish to refrain from voting.
-Vote: No Lynch is NOT allowed.
-Dead players can participate, but may NOT vote or reveal previous night actions or sensitive information they knew before their death.
-Private communications are allowed.
-Quicktopics, chatrooms, etc. are NOT allowed unless given express permission by the host.
-Dead players cannot communicate privately unless given express permission by the host.
-You may quote PMs from other players, as they can be forged. You may not post screenshots, chatlogs, etc.
-You may NOT quote PMs from the host or your role PM, unless given express permission by the host.
-You must PM all night actions to the host personally.
-If you have multiple defenses, you must choose one and PM that to the host; otherwise your defense will be chosen randomly.
-Clarifications to the rules will be posted by the host if perceived to be unclear. If you are unsure or think I might have missed something, please don’t be afraid to ask questions!

I am looking for at least 35 players to sign up. I would prefer to have 40 to 45 if possible. The game will most likely begin after the end of Star Wars: Fall of the Order. Let’s go!

“Did somebody page the king of awesome?”
-Bowser (“http://www.mariowiki.com/Bowser”)


Bowser

Gwahahahar! You are Bowser, the King of the Koopa, kidnapper of Princess Peach, konquerer of the Mushroom Kingdom, and krusher of the Mario Bros.

What, do you really need me to tell you about yourself? This whole GAME is about YOU. Here’s a brief history of what you’ve done in the past month or so. It all started when Dr. Eggman warped you to his world. Once there, you went through a tough trial where you had to kill all of the traitor villains and the heroes in disguise, including the brother of your arch-nemesis: Luigi. Once that was done, you gained ultimate power using the Super Vague Weapon of Ambiguously Decided Doom- this power came in a small package called the Plot Device Star. You used this power in a not-completely-predictable manner by capturing Princess Peach and forcing Mario and his followers into hiding. Now, however, you’ve got intruders in your castle, and you suspect Mario is among them. In order to keep yourself safe, you’ve disguised yourself as one of your minions.

Your alignment is Koopa. (Town)

Victory Conditions:

Major- Nothing is acceptable except for your complete victory. After all, you deserve nothing less. In order to win, you must survive until the end, keep possession of the Plot Device Star, and kill Mario, as well as anyone else in your castle that is out to get you.

Minor- If, in the worst case scenario, you are killed by Mario (which will totally never happen), you can still hope for your minions to pull through and defeat all the infiltrators for you. If that happens, at least your children will be able to hold the kingdom together.

Abilities:

Disguise- In order to keep yourself safe, (even though you have nothing to be afraid of) you have disguised yourself as one of your minions, Tubba Blubba. When you are not making public announcements, you will take on this disguise and vote as if you were a normal minion. Here is the complete disguise:




“Uh… Five more minutes, mom.”
-Tubba Blubba (“http://www.mariowiki.com/Tubba_Blubba”)

Tubba Blubba

You are Tubba Blubba, a massive and powerful Clubba with a fine taste for Boos.

You were also the one Bowser entrusted to protect the third Star Spirit, Skolar. Bowser made you completely invincible by cutting out your heart and placing it under a windmill- unfortunately, Mario and his Boo friends managed to find said windmill, beat up your heart, and then beat you up after it hopped back in your body. You’re not so invincible any more, but you’re still a loyal member of Bowser’s Koopa Troop.

Your alignment is Koopa. (Town)

Victory Conditions:

Major- Defeat all of the intruders to the castle and keep Bowser from being killed by them as well. Additionally, keep the Plot Device Star in the hands of the Koopa Troop where it belongs.

Minor- If Bowser dies, all is not lost. If you can drive off all of the intruders from the castle, then perhaps the Koopa Troop will survive.



Guards- You have assigned 3 of your most trusted underlings to guard your room during the night. They know your identity and you know theirs, and as long as they live, any attack on your life will fail. These three minions are Boom-Boom (Tratorix), Reznor (Greyblades), and Goomboss (rhawn).

Plot Device Star- The Plot Device Star is currently in your possession. To avoid drawing attention, you will not use its power, but you must end the game in control of it to win. Beware: if you are killed, your killer will take it, and if your true identity becomes known, it will be able to be stolen as well.

I can't find the amazing Bowser's castle theme remix or some such, so this'll have to do

I wasn't around for any of the previous iterations of your games, but I did read the Koopa Troop one; I saw some very interesting concepts and it seemed as though it was lots of fun for all involved.

I've actually just become unemployed (six-month contract, major annoyance) and I have oodles of free time on my hands while I throw my CV out to any and all who'll take it, so I'd definitely be willing to break my hiatus and accept your invitation to fill the void.

Just curious, though; are you expecting to start as soon as you've got all the signups you want (and once Pizza's game concludes), or will you be postponing things until the holiday season ends?

Great to see you back, Secura. Hope things turn out better for you soon.

Now that ATPG's game is lasting longer than expected, I imagine I will not start until December 27, or so. I would also probably make New Years' Eve/Day and the day after a single long phase to account for inactivity. But I don't want to wait too long to start it.

[Csargo]

I'll play.

[Yaropolk]

I'm in

[PershsNhpios]

I think the last one of these I was involved with was your first Council of Villains, in which we were all meant to roleplay and I was a dragon with seven heads... But player commitment died away fast, partly because the Treehouse of Horror was played parallel to that.

Well, if a series resulted, there must be some very good reasons why!

If prior story knowledge and understanding isn't essential, I would like to be in please!

Glad to have you back, Glenn. It's not necessary by any stretch to have read the last few games. For a quick refresher, I suggest you check out the flowchart in the opening post, though. :2thumbsup:

Yeah, so am I, this is great!

[Askthepizzaguy]

I'm not surprised at all, Chaotix; after the previous games you've hosted you've built a reputation for fabulous hosting ability. You've also obviously done the legwork and did some serious personal inviting; that is really the only truly effective means of recruitment that I've seen other than opening a sign-up sheet.

If anything, I wonder why we're still missing some of our favorite veteran players. :whip: Come on then, don't be shy.

[Ironside]

Might as well. In

[pevergreen]

Reenk may join.

If you haven't, maybe throw him an invite.

Oh how the new players would tremble in fear at the mere sound of our name.

Thanks for the kind words, ATPG. As for the invitations, there just happened to be a long list with 67 names on it lying around in the Gameroom...

[Askthepizzaguy]

Oh how the new players would tremble in fear at the mere sound of our name.

That said I can't remember a game where the mighty legendary hybrid "Reenkus peverroinkus" actually curb-stomped everyone. Did I miss something? :clown:

Its like the old rule involving CR, its no fun if its an instant win.

How did Pirate Ship go? peverreenk dictated the course of that game. :tongue:

Its not often that we actually are both in the same game, Reenk is a busy, busy, sexy man.

[Motep]

I would like to join

[PershsNhpios]

I've just returned to the flowchart for the second time and finally made some sense of it all.

Congratulations Chaotix on such a dedicated and continuous plot! Mafia has really developed since I last played!

This means that characters should be handled much more reverently with a view to future games...

Is roleplaying still encouraged or enforced? (Is this the wrong place to ask?)

It's never enforced.

I would say that, for this game, it may be more prudent for players to conceal their identities than to reveal and roleplay, though you are certainly welcome to do so.

[Askthepizzaguy]

You can also do what I do which is roleplay as a character that you are not.

That way you conceal your identity while also being able to have fun.

[pevergreen]

Metroid characters don't have that much flavour compared to such extreme ones as Mario universe ones.

No, I didn't make that. It harkens back unto the day when the legion of pevers was around.

[Askthepizzaguy]

I really dodged a bullet on that one. No way I'm giving up my zombie avatar.

I have chat logs saying you were seriously considering it. :beam:

were there...peverreds?

I don't think so. There was peverblue, peveryellow, peverbrown, and pevermauve, but I don't think we had a peverred.

Also, getting slightly off-topic in here. :laugh4:

[woad&fangs]

Winter break.

[Kagemusha]

In.:bow: On second thought i will be on holiday trip with very limited internet access until 10th of january and if the game will launch on 27th maybe i should be just a replacement.

I don't think so. There was peverblue, peveryellow, peverbrown, and pevermauve, but I don't think we had a peverred.

Yeah, I am a bit peeved about all this talk.

[Reenk Roink]

Ok, :bow:

[Renata]

I won't ask to be a sub, because I'll have a few minutes most days, but am just noting now before the game starts that I'll be very pressed for time until about mid-January. So don't lynch me for it. (please)

[Ignoramus]

Sorry, Chaotix, but I'll have to pass on this one. I won't be able to have internet access over the next 3 weeks. All the best.

[a completely inoffensive name]

You can also do what I do which is roleplay as a character that you are not.

He could also do what I do, and not know what he is doing until he starts typing.

[Chaotix]

Sorry about the delay, guys; I had to shovel myself out of a snowstorm this morning (the one in Northeast US if you're wondering).

Sign-ups are closed, and I will start the game as soon as I have finished all of the role PMs and the opening write-up.

[Double A]

I have snow too.

6in deep. In North Carolina.

Freaking crazy.

[Chaotix]

Over 2 feet in NY. I win. :clown:

I'm still working on role PMs and such unfortunately, it's taking longer than expected due to an oversight on my part.

[thefluffyone93]

Gar. My back is still hurting from the 4 ft of snow and ice I had to shovel. Durned snow plows.

[Choxorn]

I have no snow right now, despite living a bit farther North than both AA and Chaotix.

[Renata]

You must live very close to me; not much of New York got that much snow. We're still not done clearing the walks.

[PershsNhpios]

What has snow got to do with when this game will finally start?!

Did you know that Australians must wait a day longer than everyone else?! It's the 28th already!

(Nevermind, I didn't see Chaotix' post! I will be patient!)

[Diamondeye]

I have snow too.

6in deep. In North Carolina.

Freaking crazy.

Some places in Denmark has been under 5 ft. of snow....! Luckily, the capital wasn't too awfully hit. Still, a couple of feet in total, I guess... 6 in. ain't nothing :tongue:

[Askthepizzaguy]

This weather discussion is off-topic and getting sort of prolonged. :bow:

[Sasaki Kojiro]

This weather discussion is off-topic and getting sort of prolonged. :bow:

Yes, the last thing I wanted after shoveling snow all day (we got 8 inches and it was about 25 degrees outside and cloudy) was to read about the weather here.

[Double A]

Gar. My back is still hurting from the 4 ft of snow and ice I had to shovel. Durned snow plows.

Get a flamethrower.

Night 0

The Galactic Federation (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o9vnc6kzhWY) Starship Olympus coasted through space at a leisurely pace. It was headed for a planet controlled by the Space Pirates, who had recently resurged, probably due to the Council of Villains event and the empowering of their leader, Ridley, that came with it. The spacecraft was not moving quickly, however, because the forces on board were still being trained.

The Inter-dimensional Federation of Heroes, or IDFH, had established something of an uneasy alliance with the GF Marines. With a common foe in Ridley, both sides saw the wisdom in an alliance, but so far it had not worked out especially well. The heroes viewed the GF forces as grunts and common troopers, and mostly useless in a fight- and the marines were offended that the heroes would dare to insult them on their own ship. In fact, all the IDFH forces in Dimension 003 Metroid were stationed on the GFS Olympus, except for two who had gone missing a few months previously. And then there was the matter of the GF hiring several bounty hunters to fight for them, many of them former criminals.

It was not the best of situations. And it would soon devolve into something far worse.

A dot appeared on the Olympus’s radar screen. It was a friendly dot, requesting permission to dock. The ship was scanned and immediately recognized as the renowned bounty hunter Samus’s Gunship. The Fleet Admiral Castor Dane was notified and it was granted permission to dock, as was usually the case.

Minutes later, there was chaos. A siren (https://www.youtube.com/user/M17C4#p/u/99/_ugR6WQhWP0) began blaring, red lights came up. A messenger ran immediately to Admiral Dane’s room, shouting:

“Sir! The docking bay is under assault! The entire sector has been wiped out!”

Dane looked concerned and shocked, but not fearful.


https://i709.photobucket.com/albums/ww93/Chaotix2732/A%20State%20of%20Corruption/AdmiralDane.jpg

“By whom? How is it possible we didn’t detect them coming?”

“I’m not sure, our cameras have been hacked and disabled by some sort of unknown technology. But we’ve received no word from Samus Aran since then, either. She could be harmed or even killed!”

“Perhaps… but there may be a more obvious explanation than that. Send a squad down to find any hostiles and search for survivors.”

“Yes, sir!”

The messenger hurried off, and Admiral Dane scratched his chin.

“So it begins…”

Not twenty minutes had passed before the messenger returned. Dane expected news of the docking bay attack, but this was not it.

“Sir! The medical wing has been breached!”

This time, Dane had more of a face that implied he was about to say “are you kidding me?” It only flashed for a moment, but he kept his cool.

“Details! What’s going on?”

“There are several survivors who managed to escape. They said that there wasn’t even a spacecraft. Just three shadowy figures, and they were all using… using…”

“Using what? Spit it out, man!”

“Phazon! They attacked us with Phazon!”

“That could only mean…”

“They think it’s the Dark Hunter!”

Dane looked worried now. He was about to dismiss the messenger, but was interrupted by Aurora Unit 242, the organic supercomputer that ran the ship.

“Admiral Dane, I believe you should be seeing this.”

A holo-screen stretched across the wall. On it, what appeared to be a large, metallic dragon was rocketing towards them through space. All of a sudden, a massive crash rocked the entire ship, and the lights dimmed for a moment.

“What’s going on, 242?”

"The cargo bay has been penetrated and the engines have been destroyed. The Olympus has been rendered incapable of moving."

“We’re stranded… out in Pirate Space.”


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

Role PMs are being sent. Please stand by and wait for the next part of the write-up.

[Chaotix]

Dane had called for everyone still living on board the ship to meet in the main assembly room (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g9my4utzidc).

The numbers of the GF forces and the IDFH forces were about equal, and neither group seemed happy about the other’s presence. Captain Falcon, in charge of the IDFH forces on board the Olympus, was at the center. Dane was not present.


https://i709.photobucket.com/albums/ww93/Chaotix2732/A%20State%20of%20Corruption/CaptainFalcon.jpg

“Now listen up! As you have probably guessed, there are some among us who are not as they seem! They are intruders on this vessel, and they are almost certainly villains. They’re here to kill us all, and we need to find them before they do that.”

A voice shouted from the group of GF marines:

“They’re only here to kill you! Why should we have to be subject to this treatment? If you weren’t on our ship, this never would have happened!”

“I do not believe that the intruders are only here for the IDFH. Word has it that Dark Samus is on board. She has never been on good terms with the Galactic Federation. Further, we have word that Samus, who is both a GF bounty hunter and an IDFH hero, is on board and has gone missing. The GF most certainly has a reason to be involved here.”

For the most part, both groups were quieted. Falcon continued.

“We need to vote on who we believe is most likely to be an intruder. Then the only method to know for sure if they are… is death. I will tally the votes.”

The marines were in an uproar.

“What’s to say you won’t skew the tally in the IDFH ‘s favor, huh? Out to protect your own, I’m sure!”

The IDFH were now starting to take offense. It seemed a fight would begin if Falcon didn’t do something.

“Fine! Admiral Dane will tally the votes today. I will take care of it tomorrow. We will switch off every day. That way, it will be fair. Is that acceptable?”

Both sides seemed to come to an uneasy agreement, for now.

“Good. Then it’s time to vote. Show me your moves!”

And so began the first day of A State of Corruption.

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

The role PMs for all mafia and other essential characters have been sent out. I am still working on the rest and will have those out as soon as possible.

That said, everyone who doesn't have a role PM yet is a basic townie.

I am starting the first round. Anybody can vote, even if you don't have your role PM yet. I will only start counting the 24 hours when I have sent out the last role PM, though.

An important note:

Since I've received a message from a player, I've realized something that I can do very simply.

If your around and would like to know your exact role and alignment before your PM is done, just send me a PM asking for it and I'll let you know. I will continue to try and get these done ASAP.

Thank you for answering Double A, but surely you knew that you were making a bandwagon on another player - I doubt you are mafia, but I doubt you voted randomly.

If ATPG is being bandwagoned because of his High Profile (see glossary), please remember that strong pro-town roles are easily and stupidly wasted this way...

Otherwise I agree with those couple who were dubious of 'day 1' logic.

Also to the one who said something along the lines of "Most active on day 1 will be most likely major roles because townie PMs are sent out later" - good point but remember Chaotix' post which stated that anyone could attain their basic role from him early by sending him a message. So anyone interested in the game could justifiably be active early.

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

It looks like "Random.org" is 'randomly' attempting to keep the tie.

EDIT: Looking at the post count, I am going to Unvote; Vote: AKWC88 in direct obedience to a primary rule; Lynch the lurkers; since AKWC has been active since the game started but hasn't yet made an effort.
Come on round Warman and I will remove my vote.

[autolycus]

I don't think Atpg should be in our first day tie. The man just finished running an absolutely epic game for us, the least we can do is let him play beyond the first day in the next game. Personal preference in who I like to play with in the list of people with more than one vote on them leads me to say unvote: Nictel, vote:AntiKingWarmanCake88

[Askthepizzaguy]

For what it's worth as they say, I believe Double A to innocent.

What are you basing that on?


Also please note; tie in name only. Double A has the advantage over me in that regard, since he has a free vote.



I don't think Atpg should be in our first day tie. The man just finished running an absolutely epic game for us, the least we can do is let him play beyond the first day in the next game

This still smells like metagaming to me. It won't break my heart to sit out a big game once in a while.

[PershsNhpios]

I base that on my opinion his behaviour only. It isn't much, but it's more than I can say for the other candidates for lynch.

I also wouldn't like to see Double A lynched because I don't think it's possible to prove anyone guilty on day 1; I disapprove of randomly lynching someone since this directly favours the mafia; and I would prefer to see deliberate lurkers lynched.

Difficult to base an analysis on round one behavior. Only time I saw behavior-based voting on round one was the ATPG mafia. I believe Sasaki went after Jolt because of the way he reacted to pressure. I do not believe any significant pressure has been applied to anyone yet. I think such analysis will be flawed. Random has the advantage of not being biased and will utterly ignore deceptive tactics.

I'm not sold on Double A; the only reason I am voting him is because that is the best option available to me due to the votes on myself. I would prefer to lynch a candidate which I chose based on nothing in particular; voting someone because of pressure on me is a bad choice. My other options are to ignore it, which I know will leave zero pressure on any actual mafia, or to withdraw my defense and simply accept being the D1 lynch, which I've done in the past and typically adds more to the bandwagon on myself. After lecturing others on the pointlessness of big wagons in the last game, I am loathe to put one on myself round 1 based on old habits.

Instincts tell me odds of lynching scum are lower in the current vote setup where one of the two tied parties can break the tie in his favor. There's just no way that's tactically advantageous to the town. Not much I can do about it here either, except point it out.

[Double A]

Well, Chaotix doesn't allow no lynch. I will keep my vote off of Pizzaguy for now.

[Askthepizzaguy]

Well, Chaotix doesn't allow no lynch. I will keep my vote off of Pizzaguy for now.

Voting Warman or YLC instead of you still has the problem of I am only voting for them because they aren't me.

I'd much prefer to just vote for the person I legitimately picked out of a hat, and accept the consequences.

unvote, vote: Johnhughthom

[PershsNhpios]

Thank you for your thoughts ATPG, I admit some of my attitudes have probably rubbed from Sasaki, since he applied the same method to me in my first game of Capo II, when I was very new, impatient and antagonistic.

I agree with what you wrote, no one can disagree with someone who wants to survive, since that is the objective.

I put my vote on the candidate who is a best at mafioso trying to avoid gaining a profile and at least utterly useless to the town.

---

Questions for the host: Will alignment be revealed on death; what is the result of a tie vote?

[Askthepizzaguy]

I put my vote on the candidate who is a best at mafioso trying to avoid gaining a profile and at least utterly useless to the town.


I find Double A to be useful when he's not abandoning mafia to play video games. :tongue2:

But that doesn't really have much to do with his likeliness of being guilty or not. I've grown tired of punishing lurkers for being lurkers, and lynching certain people early because "at least we won't miss them as much". That's a great way to kill off players who might have lucked out and finally gotten a good, valuable pro-town role, and then they die immediately. That's tons of fun, and also wins tons of games.

If we're going to lynch anyone it should be random or based on in-game behavior, not past game behavior.

[ULC]

Unvote:, Vote:Seon

I don't like abstainers. Also - see previous reasoning.

[PershsNhpios]

Again good points, perhaps you misunderstand my vote on Warman - it is because he is active on the forums and not here in-game, which I see as counter-productive, which is the most anti-town behaviour so far displayed. Everyone else has voted or is absent altogether from the org.

It's not personal, and the vote will be removed when he joins in.

I remain against a random vote because there is naturally a greater chance of lynching a townie than a mafioso.

I'm off for a while now, time for someone else to make waves. Thanks ATPG.

Questions for the host: Will alignment be revealed on death; what is the result of a tie vote?

Alignments are revealed on death, yes.

As for tie votes: you'll have to get one and find out. :evil:

To make things more equal...
unvote, vote: abstain

Voting abstain in this game is the same as voting present in others. In other words, it has no effect other than saving you from an early WoG.

It could also serve as a method of waiting. I use it as a temporary solution, it is more aestethic IMO than only unvoting

You cannot possibly know the aestethicity of an action without an aestethiscope.

This is true. I apologize for my terrible taste in food. In my defense, I am American however. I will understand if you wish to keep your vote on me and if your vote and Rebel Jeb's combined with bad luck make me the first lynch I accept full consequences due to my poor eating habits.

Also, Unvote; Vote: YLC I'm not going to be 'that guy' who puts his vote on the person he is tied with so that he doesn't get killed. I'm going to be 'that guy' who makes another person tied to the lynch and has to sweat over it as well. More lulz that way imo.

Name one game where a mafioso switched their vote a lot on round one. Bonus points if it was a game I was in.

Name one game where a mafioso switched their vote a lot on round one. Bonus points if it was a game I was in.

So, you're claiming you're not a mafioso because you're acting in a way a mafioso would never act? Perhaps the question should "name one game where a mafioso used WIFOM in round one."

So, you're claiming you're not a mafioso because you're acting in a way a mafioso would never act? Perhaps the question should "name one game where a mafioso used WIFOM in round one."

No, I'm pointing out that his theory "No one changes their vote that often this early in the game, unless they are scum" doesn't have any basis in reality.

There's no attempt at WIFOM in my statement, Tincow, and I know you know that.

It would be WIFOM if I had said "No mafioso would ever do that, so I must be innocent". I never said any such thing. But if someone said "only a mafioso would abstain on round one" and used that as a reason to vote for someone who abstained, and someone pointed out that such reasoning has no leg to stand on, it would not be WIFOM to state such a fact.

[Askthepizzaguy]

With the current tally, you will not lynch any mafiosi.

There are 6 realistic candidates for the lynch, nine if you include those with two votes. I expressed my distaste with mass wagons in the previous game, but here there is the opposite tactical situation. Unless you're waiting for a flinch, the time has come to decide who dies, of those candidates, and put more votes on them so that the lynch cannot be overturned.

The only case against ACIN is that he doesn't play the way you'd like him to. It's not a case for being guilty, but cutting your losses. Double A could have put more pressure on me and did not, and as such I'm inclined to return the favor (this time). YLC is the same way. Case on warman is that he's been active elsewhere but isn't voting. Possible he's waiting until the last minute to spare himself but I find such a tactic unlikely from him. I could expect him to get lynched without noticing or saving himself, frankly. Case on me is nonexistent/random candidate.

Classical hero tossing suspicion on me without following up with a vote is inconsistent, and has an outside chance of being motivated by scummery.

As such, the only decent case I see is Hero.

unvote, vote: Classical_hero

[ULC]

I'll agree with ATPGs reasoning for now, although I suppose Warman another decent option in the "cut your losses" category.

Unvote:, Vote: classical_hero

Also, ATPG you should know by now that the threat of death is only a minor annoyance for me. In any case, JHT was a "if I have to pick someone" vote. To many people tied present problems in effectively lynching anyone, and thus reducing town effectiveness. It's day 1, I'd like not to set a trend.

:laugh4: I diagnose a severe case of casual scumminess, brought on by repeatedly getting away with it. The only cure is to lynch you until you start playing like a townie (or at least put some more effort into your scummy posting).

What is scummy about his post(s)? It bothers me when this characterization which is almost utterly meaningless is dropped as a way to justify a vote while not really justifying it at all. Better to just post a vote with nothing else, this makes it seem that you are trying too hard.

Yes, these attempts at actual serious votes on Day 1 are odd. What's the point of Day 1 if not to vote based on humor and metagaming?

[Motep]

Hmmm...to change or not to change....

My gut is telling me things, but my head is telling me things else. Should I listen to reason, or should I listen to feeling?

[Reenk Roink]

Yes, these attempts at actual serious votes on Day 1 are odd. What's the point of Day 1 if not to vote based on humor and metagaming?

Are you implying that the seriousness of the vote has anything to do with the ontological status of guilt of the person being voted for?

Or perhaps you are implying this current case on classical_hero should even be considered serious. I don't consider "he put suspicion on Atpg but didn't vote so he is inconsistent, now allow me to add a word a subset of which is 'scum' to further justify my actions"

I will indulge you and consider it serious if you believe so, and so my response to it will be that classical_hero is throwing suspicion based on someone's voting patterns. Not exactly my cup of tea but OK, I consider it better than endorsing an average restaurant like Outback Steakhouse which ACIN is doing (quality used to be better but now the food is worse and the waitresses are less pretty).

[Yaropolk]

Exactly. I am surprised at how serious we have suddenly gotten on the first day. My finger of suspicion on ATPG was a joking one, since it is impossible to know exactly who is who on the first day.

@Motep. If your gut is telling you something, could it be indigestion?

How does Jarema need to unvote? He was abstaining from voting with his vote, which to me is a non vote, so he does not need to unvote in my books.
