Game rules:
You all receive the same standard townie role PM, unless you're a gangster. Therefore, quoting your role PM is pointless.
Screenshots are not allowed and also pointless.
Each Day cycle, you will discuss and vote, if you wish, by placing a wager, like so:
Wager: 10 chips on Askthepizzaguy
If you wish to remove your wager, you must FOLD, so please do so like this:
Fold: Askthepizzaguy
Only then may you place another wager. Otherwise, your new wager is illegal and won't be counted.
You may wager on only one lynch candidate at a time. The candidate with the most total chips wagered on them will be lynched.
In the event of a tie, I will personally ensure that a townie dies. You cannot lynch mobsters with tied votes, period.
Even if you happened to lynch two mobsters with a tied vote, I'd shoot a townie instead and both gangsters will live.
(So if you know what's good for you, DO NOT CREATE TIED VOTES. Note: This part isn't a rule, just sound advice.)
You will lose your wager if the candidate is not lynched.
You will lose your wager if the candidate is lynched and was a townie.
You will have your wager returned to you in full, if the lynchee was a mobster and you wagered on them to die.
Each round, there is a betting limit. Betting above that limit will not count.
It is legal to bluff when you are wagering, by placing wagers above the amount of chips that you have remaining. However, it should be noted that such wagers are completely null and void.
What that means is that, if you wager more than your total number of chips remaining, that wager is completely meaningless and has no actual effect whatsoever, not on the tally, and not on your personal finances at the end of the round. You have been warned.
You all begin with 100 chips and there is no way to gain more chips than the ones you begin with.
In the event any player has zero chips remaining at the end of a round, and have no chips returned to them, they die.
In the event that the remaining mobsters have more total chips than the remainder of the town side, they win. Doesn't matter how many of you are left. They can out-bet you every round and therefore, they can outvote you and prevent all lynches. That's GAME OVER.
If you fail to post during the game for two straight voting Days, you'll be replaced by Visorslash.
Day One begins now, and ends after everyone who signed up has posted at least once.
That makes the first round rather open-ended.
Enjoy your complimentary slice of pizza.

I haven't really thought about vote weighting strategy for this game, but hopefully I'll work things out as I go along. In the interim I think I'll hoard my chips.
Wager: 1 chip on Ferret
It occurs to me, though, that creating ties might actually be a really good idea, since it can give you information on the alignment of more than one person at once. For example, if a player were to survive a couple of tied votes he'd be rather suspicious. If you tie him in a third lynch and he still survived you could flat-out lynch him with a fair degree of confidence, whilst if a random third party died you know you've caught two scum. It would probably be a bit tricky logistically though, and later on bluff votes could throw a spanner in the works. Still, something to consider.

I could be a total jerk mod and insist upon Wager and Fold, but I know you're going to all forget no matter how many times I try to enforce the flavorful wording difference, so yes I will count Vote and Unvote as legal formats for wagering and folding.
I guess I'm feeling conciliatory due to recent muck-ups, but I wouldn't press your luck.

Your WIFOM confuses me. Wager 5 chips on Makrell Also Ishmael, tying is bad. If we put one person over the top, he will die, scum or not. We can still kill the other one next round. We have a 50 percent chance of lynching the scum (if one of them would actually be scum) If we don't push someone over the top we have a 0 percent chance of lynching the scum. The only way how I see ties can benefit town is if both tied persons are scum and someone else dies. I am sure though the scumbags will never let that happen; so tying is BAD. (hope this made sense :sweatdrop:)
wager: 1 chip on Darth Feather.

My argument is that in the case of a tie, the person who survives should be placed in another tied vote the next day. If they survive that, it's probably reasonable grounds to lynch them (or at least tie them for a third day to be sure). That said, the more I think about it the more I realise it would most likely be impossible to arrange consistently. Never mind.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but Europeans use the comma in the same way that Americans use the period, and vice-versa?

I'd suggest that - in accordance with the rules of the game - anyone not using their chips - ie. betting the limit - should be viewed with the highest suspicion.
It is like any other mafia game.
I think it is not good to abstain day one, as this prevents town from getting any information.
If GSC is lynched, I will probably lose chips I wagered on him. Just as I would waste my vote in vanilla mafia game.
Do not allow 'extra' rules about chips to fool you; that is mafia game, and we need to vote.

All these votes/wages piling on a bandwagon provide no information at all and by wasting my chips in the same way I am simply givin up voting power that the town might need later in the game...
Even if we were sure GSC is scum we should lynch him with as little an amount of chips as possible just in case he does end up being town and all these townies who piled on him lose all their chips (= voting power). Remember what Pizza said in the rules: It is entirely possible for the Mafia to win without even outnumbering the town. They just need to have more chips than us.

The whole point is simply that chips must be used tactically, where they can best influence the lynch for the lowest cost.
What that means is that each agent will be constantly correcting their wager to account for new information.
The game will be very lively.
In fact, every poster should have to post an updated tally with every new vote.

It's incredible how much scope for last-minute shenanigans there is in this one.
Everyone voting the leader should near the end lower their wagers, but then have to correct to keep him in the lead if he suddenly falls into second or third place.
People are going to be trying to force their co-voters to pay for their favored lynches.
Now this game is a true exercise in cutthroat cruelty and avaricious vigilance.
It's like a stripper balancing a coin between her breasts for as long as she can.
But the stripper always loses.
I recommend that Pizza make the round-ends unpredictable so as to really up the stakes. Boy, how we'll be scrambling for advantage...

The reason for my last post and the lowering of my wager on Curio is that Chaotix is in the lead to get lynched so my bet of 5 was irrelevant. The reason I'm sticking so hard on a day one vote is so that when GSC is lycnhed and flips SCUM, I can pat myself on the back and revel in the newfound respect that you will all have for my sixth sense.

If your desired lynch is falling slightly behind, Crow, then why not just wait? It's likely that someone could push him over again, no?
According to the theory (assuming constant day-phases), voters should not abandon a losing candidate until the end of the day-phase.
In that case, everyone should pile on the leader at the last-minute just in case he flips scum.
Of course, this would apply to future phases, but even so...

If I were to raise 10 and you were to raise 10, GSC would return to the lead 43-38 (Chaotix).
However, I'd need to know what's in it for me.

As I've outlined before it is prudent for the town to conserve it's voting power and not lose too many chips in the process of trying to lynch scum.
Curio is going to be lynched probably. I don't find him particularly scummy and it doesn't even need my chips on him so when he dies and flips town we have conserved some chips that would have been wasted on him or someone else who didn't get lynched.

Round One
On the first round of betting, many of the gamblers decided to wager as much as they could. But after seeing the cards they got, it looked like it may have been a mistake. In the end, the two card players left in the game were Chaotix and Gaius Scribonius Curio.
They kept raising one another, until Gaius had tossed his entire stack of chips on Chaotix man.
"Let me tell ya somethin, brother! You're going down, and you're going down hard, because the name's Curio, and it rhymes with Superior!"
Chaotix cocked an eyebrow.
Chaotix: "Actually, no, no that's pretty much not true. Superior does not rhyme with Curio. Also, I got a full house."
Curio: "Oh, oh, I got a 2, and a 4, and a 6, and an 8, and a 10. That's an even straight, right? Straight beats a full house."
Chaotix: "Once again, hate to correct you, but it appears you're mistaken. A full house beats a straight. And what you have right there is actually not a straight."
Curio: "It's not?"
Chaotix: "Nope."
Curio: "Well.... horsefeathers."
Don Pizzaguy arrived just in time to see the end of the hand. "What do we have here, gentlemen? It looks like Chaotix wins this hand. Say, how's about you start repaying your debt now? Thanks, I'll just confiscate the entire pot. Mister Curio, would you come with me please?"
Curio: "Sure thing, mister Pizzaguy."

Don Pizzaguy: "I understand you just lost a bunch of money, so you're probably a little shaken up about it. I would like to offer you some free pizza, compliments of Don Pizzaguy's Hotel, Casino, and Delivery/Dine-In/Take Out Pizzeria Emporium of Total Gaming Madness."
Curio: "Do you say the full name of it every time?"
Don Pizzaguy: "Yes, yes I do. And anyone who does not use the full and proper name is showing an intolerable level of disrespect. But let's not worry about that right now. Your pizza is right through this door."
Curio: "Oh goody.... hey, wait a minute. This door just leads to the dumpsters out back."
Don Pizzaguy: "Yes, yes it does. But, I am sure you'll be able to find some discarded pizzas in that very dumpster."
Curio: "I'm not going in some filthy dumpster."
Don Pizzaguy: "Oh please, I must insist."

First Intermission
One of the gamblers got up to get a glass of water. "Man, the service here in this casino is pretty craptastic. I have to stop gambling just to get my own drink of water." the gambler muttered.
"Sir, can I help you?"
"Yes, miss, I'm familiar with more of a Vegas kinda deal, where I get all the drinks and food I want delivered right to my table, so I can keep gambling. I wish to lodge a complaint with the service."
"Oh, it's not like that here, sir, but follow me, and I'll get you that drink of water."
"Why are we taking the service elevator?"
"......."
"Miss?"
".......here we are, sir. Top floor. It's where we keep all our best water."
"Oooooo..... kay...."
A large burly man in an exquisite Italian suit approached the patron.
"Welcome to the rooftop bar, Mister Ironside. Please, have a seat."
"I'm just here to get a glass of water, and I'll be on my way."
"I am trying to show you courtesy and respect, Mister Ironside. Please, have a seat."
"....alrighty then."
"How are you enjoying your stay here at Don Pizzaguy's Hotel, Casino, and Delivery/Dine-In/Take Out Pizzeria Emporium of Total Gaming Madness?"
"It's uh.... fine?"
"Well, that's not what I heard. It has come to my attention that you've in fact referred to the service here as.... 'craptastic'. This, displeases me. I wish to find out the root cause of your dissatisfaction. Do you know that we are the highest rated Hotel, Casino, and Delivery/Dine-In/Take Out Pizzeria Emporium in the tri-state area? We maintain that level of satisfaction from our guests because of one very important reason. All our guests, upon leaving this Hotel, Casino, and Delivery/Dine-In/Take Out Pizzeria Emporium fill out a comment card indicating how much they've enjoyed their stay, and they always give us excellent marks on our quality service. Would you like to fill out a survey right now, to indicate your feelings on the matter, as our valued guest?"
"I'm cool."
"I take pride in maintaining a 100% guest satisfaction rating. Please, if you are in any way dissatisfied, I urge you to fill out this comment card."
"I'll just be going now."
A pair of heavy hands pushed him back down onto the bar stool.
"Just a moment of your time, please. The comment card. Fill it out."
.....
"Okay, look, see? I gave you five stars. Excellent service. May I go now?"
"Why, certainly, Mister Ironside. That's all I really wanted. You're free to leave. This gentleman here will escort you out."
"Thank you."
......
"I hope you've enjoyed your stay at Don Pizzaguy's Hotel, Casino, and Delivery/Dine-In/Take Out Pizzeria Emporium of Total Gaming Madness."
"Huh?"
"Here's that drink you were looking for."
The burly gentleman hurled Ironside off of the roof. 15 floors later, Ironside landed on the magnificent fountain right in front of the casino. Unfortunately, the only splashing sound was the sound of metal impaling Ironside through the stomach, as he landed on the exact center of the fountain, where stood a large angelic statue pouring water into the fountain.
"Hey Dewey, it would have been a lot funnier if he landed in the water. Work on your aim, would ya?"
"I was going for wordplay. Iron. Side. Get it now?"
"That's stupid, Dewey."
"YOU'RE stupid."
_____________________
"Hey, hey, hey! Watch the suit, watch the suit!"
"Welcome to the rooftop bar, Mister rickinator.... uh..... 9? That's a very unusual name you have there. I understand you've been very disrespectful toward our cocktail waitresses. It seems you've been slapping them on the behind. I'm not sure who taught you manners, but this is a very impolite thing that you have been doing."
"Not as impolite as what I've been doing to your mother."
"Oh, a wiseguy. Very nice. I appreciate that disrespectful comment, and I wish to introduce you to some other wiseguys. Come and escort this guy out of my sight."
"Hey Don Pizzaguy. I spent all your money on hookers and booze. You'll never see a dime from me! Hahahaha!"
"I appreciate your refreshing honesty. I'm sorry to hear you won't be paying your bills, though. Say good night, rickinator9."
"I REGRET NOTHING!!!!"
The burly gentleman hurled rickinator9 off of the roof. 15 floors later, he landed on the exact center of the fountain, forming a sort of Ironside/rickinator9 sandwich.
"Hey Dewey. Couldn't you be a little more creative?"
"Sorry. I guess I'm just too stupid to come up with something better. What do you suggest?"
"Shootin' em in the back, like always."
"You're right. That is more creative."
"Shut up, Dewey."

Second Intermission
TheLastDays noticed his name was in the writeup and bolded black. Being genre-savvy, he knew that eventually, there would be a pun related to his user name somewhere in this writeup. And then he would be dead.
Bolting from the gaming table with all of his cash, he headed for the exit as fast as his legs could carry him.
"Not gonna get me this time. I'm changing my name to ManyMoreDaysToCome. You'll never be able to poke fun at that, Don Pizzaguy."
But he ran into a dessert cart filled with banana creme pies, and stumbled to the ground.
Being deathly allergic to pie crusts, TheLastDays broke out in a terrible rash and swelled to the size of a small hippo, then exploded promptly.
Don Pizzaguy watched this unfold on the security monitors, and decided that this particular hit job was worth a pay raise.
And Howe.

They might get them returned if a townie is lynched rather than when a scumbag is.

You know, you could at least pretend to read the rules. Mafia chips operate on the same rules as everyone else.
Besides, why does that line of reasoning lead you to bet me, of all people? I've been trying to get people to conserve their chips all game, and I'm only betting 40 because multiple people are betting 40 against me.

Round Three
Zack was busy counting everyone's chips, and generally being a good townie- I mean, gambler. However, this round he would come up a little bit short. After losing another hand of cards, he was fresh out of chips.
"This is ridiculous. I would like to know who is stacking the deck. I've been counting everything so far, and I know this game is rigged at this point."
Don Pizzaguy was watching the proceedings carefully, and began gesturing toward Zack.
"You wouldn't happen to be counting cards, now would you Mister Zack?" said the Don.
Zack just shook his head. "I'm not cheating. But at this point I have to believe you have goons posing as gamblers who are ensuring we lose our chips. I mean, it's in our role PMs."
"Very clever reasoning, Mister Zack. Let me show you the way out. I have a special place for people like you who read the rules of the game and pay attention."
"Let me guess. The dumpsters out back?" said Zack.
Don Pizzaguy gave Zack a chilling wink, and they were gone.

Third Intermission
Ishmael sat staring at his empty martini glass, and his ever dwindling pile of chips. Luck just wasn't on his side.
He decided he wanted his final moments to be glorious. So, he grabbed the chips from the table and began to book it out of there, with Don Pizzaguy's goons in hot pursuit.
He stole a drink from the bar and began tossing tokens inside of the slot machines. One of them hit the jackpot, and he kept on running.
He got to the stage where there were scantily clad women doing high-kicks. He grabbed one of them and planted a big wet kiss on her lips.
Then, he ducked as a goon tried to tackle him.
He ran, and he ran, and he climbed up the stairs, with the goons following him. When he got to the roof, the goons opened fire.
Like Neo, he dodged the bullets and kept running..... almost to the edge of the roof....
And stopped.
He turned to the goons, who had reloaded.
With his best Al Pacino voice, he said.
"The last time you gonna see a bad guy like this again let me tell ya"
And they fired. He took 3 bullets to the chest.
Four.
Five....
He started laughing.
Blood poured from his many wounds, and he kept laughing.
12 bullets.
25 bullets.
Finally, he looked up at the heavens, and jumped backwards.
Down he fell.
Until he landed on the Ironside/rickinator9 sandwich.
Now it was a double-decker sandwich.
-----------------------------
Ferret stepped into the bathroom for a moment, to try to shake the feeling that he was about to lose all his chips.
He nervously took a leak, and then washed his hands.
He turned to the gigantic, industrial strength hand dryer, and admired its sheer size. It was four feet long and six feet high. Surely it would dry his hands rapidly.
He pushed the button, and was surprised by how little hot air was coming out of it.
On the side of the machine, was a button that said: "Caution: Do not engage turbo mode"
He pushed the button, and was quickly amazed by how much better it was blowing. His hands were nearly dry.
Curiously, there was another button on the side, a big red button. "Caution: Do not engage vac-dry mode"
Unable to help himself, he pushed the button.
The machine reversed, and sucked Ferret directly into the small mouth of the machine, ripping off his head as his body was sucked inside.
The wiseguy standing at the door of the bathroom burst out laughing. Don Pizzaguy applauded.
"Nobody can resist a shiny red button."

If my own poor judgment voting for GSC day one is a good enough reason for you to pile on me again, go ahead and do so. I shall do all I can to survive any such witch hunt.

Now who has raised the stakes while preserving their own chips? That's the question you should ask ;)
I'm happy with that death. Thanks for the write-up, ATPG.
Now, my reasoning for BSmith, which I had planned to explain today alive or dead. My thinking goes that mafia want to preserve their chips, since it both lets them get out of sticky situations and, well, win. However, they also want to off townies with lots of chips, for pretty much the same reason (see Ironside, Darth Feather, myself). Although we're working from a small sample size, it seems so far that the mafia has killed one person with lots of chips remaining each night, along with somebody else so as to not be too blatant. Now it would seem a bit suspicious if one or two people with lots of chips remaining survived constantly, so it makes sense for the mafia to do what I called earlier 'middle of the road voting' - voting enough to use up some chips, whilst keeping the majority in reserve. There are probably a few people that fit the bill, but BSmith is the one that jumps out at me.

Be sure to check your chip levels. Have you been keeping track?
I haven't.
Before this round due to the betting limits, it was impossible for you to have spent all your chips.
However, with no bet limit and 10+20+40 chips potentially lost already, you have a minimum of 30 chips remaining.
Double check your chip totals before placing your final wagers if you intend for them to count.

You have been very good at influencing the betting with a large initial play, but then at the last minute retracting most everything to maximize your chips. Lots of influence, very little real stake. The perfect place for a scummer.

Round Four
After one particularly dramatic round, BSmith looked like he was losing his shirt. He shuffled his cards nervously in his hands, and watched as the other poker players stacked their chips high against his own.
Jarema had done the same, confident that his wager would succeed. But suddenly, BSmith seemed to have a glint in his eye about the entire thing, and the pot was stacked high.
Suddenly, Jarema folded, and many other players did as well. A few minutes later, BSmith emerged victorious with four of a kind.
Jarema lost his shirt, and then, most of the left side of his face, and the bulk of his brains, inside the dumpsters out back.
All placed wagers were lost today.

Fourth Intermission
LazyMcCrow and edse found themselves tied together, back to back, both with very sore lumps on their heads, which were covered with a black cloth bag and tied shut around the neck. Not only was it uncomfortable, but it was terrifying, and made it difficult to breathe.
They both felt something hard and smooth poking them in the back. It felt like a pipe or a cylinder of some kind. They also heard what sounded like a soft hissing and crackling noise.
"Lazy?" said edse.
"Edse?" said Lazy.
"What's that sound? Can you see what's happening?"
"Not at all. I can't move and I can't get this cloth bag off of my head."
"We need to get out of here. If we both sort of hop at the same time, we might be able to find help or a way of cutting our ropes."
"Our names are in bold in a Pizzaguy writeup. I'm pretty sure we're dead whether or not we try to escape."
"You don't want to try?"
"Fine. Let's get it over with. Let's hop our way toward some kind of escape."
Hop hop hop
"Which way?"
"That way."
"Which way is that?"
"Forward!"
"My forward or your forward?"
"It doesn't matter, I'll follow you."
The hissing noise continued, and still the cylinder was wedged firmly between them.
"What is that thing?"
"I dunno but the hissing feels like it's getting closer..."
Moments pass, as they hop around in the dark. They bump into walls but little else. The hissing gets louder and louder.
"Edse?"
"Yeah, Lazy?"
"I'm pretty sure that's a very large stick of dynamite."
"What's your evidence of that?"
"Well, mostly what's about to happen next."
"What's about to happen ne-"

I wouldn't pay much attention to it this early in the phase but every townie need to vote for the same person in order to save chips. A totally wasted wager of 30 chips is no good.

This is LYLO at best. Our only hope is that an isolated scum will only be able to kill one, rather than two.
We need to be very careful here. On one hand, the Mafia win for sure if they prevent us from lynching one of them. They could easily just throw in their entire loads and outvote us. It's not like they would need to worry about the sudden-death condition any longer.
On the other hand, if we lock in too much with our votes and they fold at the last second, they could just activate the sudden-death by the rule.
We need to be very careful here. Not only do we need to lynch the scum with the most chips, but we also need to do so with maximum efficiency.
Yet not even that would be enough. We would need to keep an eye out at the phase-end to thwart any last-minute changes to the balance by scum.
Yet not even that would be enough. Even if we were to survive to tomorrow and knew exactly who the remaining scum were, there's no guarantee that these same circumstances wouldn't play out in our disfavor.
Or even against the third and last scum...
To win might be impossible in every possible world, already. At best, it's much harder than, say, winning by D3 with random votes would have been.
Chaotix is scum. Riedquat is maybe-scum.
Let's at least give the bastards a bloody nose.

I need all of you! What are you waiting for? Do it now! There's no time!
Fold; Wager 50: Chaotix
You have to bet over 176 to be sure he is lynched. But then you have to be sure he's mafia.
Montmorency
09-30-2013, 07:41
Some analysis, to help you along:
Though we townies forgot all about the reimbursement rule, I'm sure the Mafia would have been keeping it in mind at all times.
If Ried-Chaotix-Auto are the scum, then we lose by sudden-death if they do not expend any chips and if either Chaotix or auto are lynched today.
There is a strong WIFOM case for White_Eyes and BSmith being partners, as at this stage a bussing would not have given White Eyes a lasting WIFOM advantage, and it would have allowed Town to start this round with more chips, and the scum with fewer. Therefore, if the two are partners then saving BSmith would have been the better choice, especially assuming that WE is/was the middle member in terms of chip-count (thereby preserving the identity of the 3rd).
Here's the twist, though - to lynch Jarema WE needed only 27 chips, not 40. Also, if they were scum why not just have BSmith save himself with his own allotment - he had more than enough for it? All WE would have needed to do is to get in before BSmith, reduce his wager to some suitably low figure such as 5 or 10, and then allow BSmith to take the burden upon himself.
If BSmith is scum, and not WE, who are BSmith's partners?
If WE is scum, and not BSmith, then why did he put himself out there instead of just lowering his wager a bit and then hunkering down while everyone wasted their chips?
So the case against those two is not bulletproof.
Makrell and Visor, I'll assume to be clear.
Auto has been full-on lurking, but we'll take him into consideration.
That leaves Chaotix and Riedquat: the richest players left. Assuming a trifecta including auto, their's is the one and only sudden-death scenario involving the lynching of the middle-scum.
If that's the team, then lynching auto leaves us losing by 126 chips/115 chips. If Chaotix goes down, it's 118/115. So should we vote Riedquat and hope for the best? I dunno...
**************************************************************************************************** ********
Excluding myself from consideration, there are 35 possible scum-teams.
Further excluding Makrell and Visor:
WE-BSmith-Chaotix
WE-BSmith-Riedquat
WE-BSmith-auto
WE-auto-Chaotix
WE-auto-Riedquat
WE-Riedquat-Chaotix
BSmith-auto-Chaotix
BSmith-auto-Riedquat
BSmith-Riedquat-Chaotix
Riedquat-Chaotix-auto
It's a big assumption to make, but if we further eliminate WE and BSmith by taking that earlier observation that they can not likely be of different factions, and then decide that they can not both be scum:
Riedquat-Chaotix-auto
The most convincing argument against this conclusion is that Chaotix and auto would only have needed to cut their wagers on BSmith by about 40 or 45 cumulatively to win today by sudden-death, if Riedquat-Chaotix-auto were the case.
So let's say that Chaotix, BSmith, and WE or auto-BSmith-WE cannot be the case, and let's continue to affirm that WE and BSmith can at the least not be part of different factions:
WE-BSmith-Riedquat
Riedquat-Chaotix-auto
The glaring flaw is of course that I don't take Makrell or Visor into consideration, but we can try it with them:
Assumptions
*BSmith and WE must be together to be scum, if either of them is indeed scum
*Visor can not be with WE
*Makrell can not be with Riedquat
Makrell-Visor-auto
Makrell-Visor-Chaotix
Makrell-auto-Chaotix
Visor-auto-Chaotix
Visor-auto-Riedquat
Visor-Chaotix-Riedquat
WE-BSmith-Makrell
WE-BSmith-Visor
WE-BSmith-Riedquat
Riedquat-Chaotix-auto
You have to bet over 176 to be sure he is lynched. But then you have to be sure he's mafia.
Only in the R-C-A scenario, and if that's the case Riedquat is the one who must be lynched today.
I think my calculations show that at least one of Riedquat and Chaotix is almost certainly scum.
If and only if they are both scum, Riedquat is the one who must be lynched today.
At this point, whomever we vote, we must vote unanimously against. We can not afford to lose chips to side vendettas, and in such a case might well be outvoted by scum in the first case anyway.
Riedquat or Chaotix? We must decide, and soon. One of them needs all our chips.
