Vote: khaan
I'd like to hear more from the horsey man. And less from Pizza and Visorslash.
Grar... I told you, I've been getting my hat handed to me by my summer courses. Vote:Askthepizzaguy Because you being alive now means you'll never die, and I don't want to take that risk.
Of course you wouldn't, scum.Quote:

Not to worry, I will do everything I can to make sure you die. Maybe not today, maybe not tomorrow.... well hopefully today or tomorrow.
Is that your only reason?Quote:

Day 6
Seven souls sat around a campfire, arguing back and forth. It had come down to this; ten had died, and there were enough people left for them to share a smaller amount of space. The soggy campground in Clinton looked larger and more ominous than ever. And while the campers banded closer together more on human instinct than anything else, their now-daily discussion and arguments were no less heated, their paranoia no less intense. They drew closer to each other, but they still trusted no one.
Two of their number were silent for the day - Scienter and TheLastDays. Instead of participating in the voting, you see, Scienter decided to take a day off and jog as well as rack her brains for cooking recipes that would be able to be used under the current conditions as an intellectual exercise. She eventually came up with nothing (there wasn't much you could do with grass and tree bark), but at least she got some jogging in. After all, assuming she survived this, she would still need to be in shape for the road ahead.
All in all, however, this proved to be quite unfortunate for Scienter as she ultimately ended up receiving the most votes. This wasn't by a very large margin - the voting went 2-1-1-1 - but by the unspoken rules that the campers had been adhering to since the very first day, it was enough. A very chagrined Scienter slowly and deliberately walked up to the campfire... and kept running. All of her jogging would at least be able to give her an advantage in this, at least. She had no idea where she would run to - the road was still far too flooded, and the woods were thick - but anything was better than this-
All thoughts, both of escape and otherwise, went out of Scienter's head as she tripped over the large flaming log. She knew immediately as she went down that her ankle had been twisted. Scienter would do no more running today, and tried to look as noble and impassive as possible as someone picked up the log she had just tripped over and brought it down on her head.
Day 6 tally:
Scienter: 2 (Visorslash, ATPG) :skull:
Visorslash: 1 (Csargo)
Askthepizzaguy: 1 (khaan)
Yaseikhaan: 1 (JHT)

Errr... Sorry for not being active today. I'm not at home atm and my posting opportunities where I am are scarce... I'll be back to normal Tomorrow though, late afternoon/evening (my time, which is GMT+1)
So to the case: I usually try to vote who I feel is the best suspect out of those who seem to have a serious "chance" of being lynched... I do feel myself at a slight disadvantage, not knowing you guys' playing style since I'm rather new around here...
What I did get is that Khaan and Csargo obviously have the reputation of lurking as scum and the killing of Chaotix, further dividing the more "active" players, looks like lurker tactic to me... Esp effective as Chaotix himself, now proven innocent, has taken the stand against his alleged murderer ATPG, which is the best thing that can happen to lurker scum As of course they couldn't point us at it themselves As that would undermine their own strategy...
I wished I could have been more active Today but right now Csargo or Khaan are my top suspects
Good luck, town! :grin:
:brood:
I don't see how you can call me a lurker when I've been far more active than you have.Quote:

There you go.
Alternatively, TheLastDays is scum.
Either way, Csargo seems genuinely innocent. Can't say for anyone else.
:laugh4: Indeed.Quote:

Noap. You get to keep living in this awful, terrible existence. That's your punishment.Quote:

Guys, guys, calm down. We should all be focusing on the true enemy here, which is TheLastDays.
I'd really like to know how I evolved to the true enemy here. I mean, I know I am innocent but I'd still like to see the case.
Concerning your argument on yourself being more active than me and thus not lurking: Yes, you've been more active over the last 2-3 days, right after Renata first mentioned you and Khaan as typical lurker scum.
I did mention you only for that, if you read my post correctly, as I myself have no idea about you guys and your typical style of playing.
I think Khaan is the more likely suspect right now as he's still sitting back, I'm not sure though
So the only reason you're going after khaan and me is because Renata said?Quote:

I didn't say I went after you because Renata said so, I said I stated you as "lurker scum" because Renata and others (ATPG for example iirc) mentioned that that's what you usually do as scum...
Of course JHT or Visor are other options that I can't quite "fit in"... I hope someone comes up with a really convincing argument against someone...
As I said, right now I'm just stating my suspicions or ideas if you will and see what comes from the others
That's it. ATPG and TheLastDays are scum. It is abundantly clear.Quote:

TheLastDays is totally my scum partner. :bow:
Since we have no chance of winning, I might as well admit it now. It was me.
I killed you Chaotix. I did it because I was intimidated by your awesomeness.
And tonight, I shall kill the player among you who I am deeply, deeply concerned might have a more handsome and impressive-looking physique. That's why I went after Renata, and Reenk Roink. I just couldn't stand being around such beautiful people. I figured my only chance to get with Scienter was to knock off all the competition.
I did it because I'm insecure, okay? I mean, I'm not exactly packing. I have a very small knife. Visorslash says I should get a bigger one, but suuuuure, I mean he's Visorslash. He wants everyone to look at him while he's slashing people to death, he's not at all concerned about size. It's easy for him to just go get a bigger one, he doesn't have to deal with customers who don't tip. I'm fed up with that stuff.
And TheLastDays, he's the only one who truly understands me. We've only just met, but there's a connection between us that's greater than anything you people could possibly understand. He is also insecure about the size of his murder weapon. And from that link the unbreakable chain was forged, and now, it's too late... you cannot stop us! WE WILL RULE THIS CAMP SITE LIKE TWO KINGS WHO ARE JUST FRIENDS!
Watever you say, buddy, whatever you say...
Csargo is one of the most underestimated mafia players ever. Follow his lead.
Scum!Quote:

Tomorrow should be fun.
Clinton, Iowa
Night 6
It was the end, then.
Visorslash had gone off wandering at night, quite far. Very far, as a matter of fact. Far enough to discover a completely different section of the campground that, as far as his knowledge went, nobody had ever been at before. This section of the campground was still as soggy and ill-provisioned as the part that everybody was familiar with, but it did have something quite unique and possibly the key to surviving the killings for the night:
A castle.
Granted, it wasn't actually a medieval-style fortress complete with a moat and towers and turrets and several layers of wall, but it was still a castle. It did offer some protection. And Visorslash decided to make the most of it, entering the castle and ascending to the top. Here he would hold this castle until morning! Here he would wait, throwing back all potential aspirants! Here he would make his stand against those who would do him harm!
It had been a very long road for Visorslash, driving his long-forgotten car some eight years ago now away from his home for the final time, pulling out onto the highway with "Backstreets" by Bruce Springsteen blaring in his stereo, and he had seen and lived through quite a lot, even more than most of the other like-minded campers here. A true veteran, Visorslash had worked a hundred different odd jobs over the years, slept in a thousand different beds, and made contact with various people from all walks of life too numerous to count. If anyone had truly experienced enough to fully understand America, it would be Visorslash.
However, this experience of the country and the people, while truly grand and life-enhancing, came at the expense of something critical: modern military strategy. For, yes, while Visorslash did hold the top of a small and insignificant castle, the person who had tracked him there had a far more potent advantage. Had this been the year 1168, Visorslash might have held out until morning. However, this was 2011, and his killer had a laser-guided sniper rifle with him.
Visorslash's body crumpled and his lifeless corpse fell off the castle, the momentum of the bullet knocking him off the edge., all of his beautiful experiences over the years for naught.
That morning, one mood truly took hold in the campground: panic. They were now down to an extremely paltry five. Everyone looked even more nervy as usual while tending to the fire, someone's hands shaking too much to successfully tend to anything.

Andres, I know you didn't ask me but the only reason I haven't voted Chaotix or ATPG (yet) is that I'm not sure who of the two to lynch... I think they both have a point in their "feud" against each other, although apparently one of them is the scum. I just can't make out who it is yet...
He's the best lynch in my opinion right now.
Where's Fluffy when you need him?Quote:

Sorry, but this "I'm scum" act that has been going on for several rounds now, is starting to be a very annoying distraction. Apart from the fact that, imo, Pizza does sound off and a bit scummy in this game, it would be good if he died now so that we don't lose focus in the last round and make the right choice then.
Also, the unwritten rule that you can't claim mafia in vanilla games, even if you are mafia, should become a ruthlessly enforced written rule.
I should die this round, so that silly rule will never be enforced ever.Quote:

Nevertheless, unvote, vote: Yaseikhaan
Gosh that's tempting. And yet, for no reason whatsoever, I will decline your lovely invitation.
It's Pizza.
Indeed it is. You're all fools for not seeing it sooner. :evil:Quote:

Scums got to enjoy a fun show, and town shoots itself in the foot, and lols were had by many.
The only thing that really matters is where I place my vote, but to illustrate my point:
Spoiler Alert, click show to read:
I know when it's time to be serious and when it's time to mess around. I place my vote and make cases when it's prudent to do so. I also like to have fun. Besides, wouldn't winning in spite of my joking "distractions" be an even bigger and more glorious achievement?
~:pimp:
If TheLastDays is guilty, I'm being a good townie. If he's not, well, :shrug: I gave it a shot.
Oh Man, I should have killed you last night...
Why did you switch to khaan now?Quote:

I have switched to Khaan because, just to state it one more time, I have voted you just to see reactions basically and I didn't think I'd get any more meaningful reactions from you, thus I went back to the suspect I stated before seemed more likely to me.
Examples for ATPGs bad townie behavior will have to come from somewhere else, as I have stated numerous times that I doubt him being Mafia...
I think it is somewhat likely that one of the scumbags has already been lynched. However, on the chance that they have not, this is the final round and certain voting dynamics become meaningful.Quote:

And yet, there's always a bigger chance that I'd be wrong on Khaan and another suspect should die. I expected I'd get a few options as to who to vote for today. So far, I've been given Csargo, Khaan, and TLD as options. Under pressure, TLD switches to Khaan.
Something about the whole scenario seems too convenient. If Khaan is guilty, he should have died 1-2 rounds ago when I first started suspecting him, especially last round when Scienter was the lynch and no one seemed to give a darn about it, Scienter included.
If someone is playing for a solid endgame, they put on their big boy pants by leaving me alive all this time if I was guessing correctly on Khaan. More likely is that others were considered a bigger threat. I feel more comfortable about choosing someone unexpected and rewarding ballsy play, rather than go with the obvious choice.
If this were any round but the possible endgame round, I'd be voting for Khaan. But it's probably time up, and I don't believe both Khaan and Csargo are guilty. Consequently, I'm voting with one of them, and the other (Khaan) has no other options today because he's the alternate lynch. Tactically speaking, I feel this is the stronger blind lynch, as it is more likely to be the right lynch if I'm wrong on Khaan.
Mafia tend to leave people alive who are pressured for death. There's really no reason why TheLastDays should still be alive, since he's been wagoning all game long (dangerous for mafia) and he's come under no pressure (dangerous for mafia).
:heart: You have a way with words I just don't have. :heart:
I feel Khaan has given his best effort under his current circumstances(school). His posts don't give me a scummy vibe either, even though there aren't many of them.
That said, Khaan rarely gives tells, he's like JHT in that regard. He's cool as ice, and his being busy IRL has no impact on whether or not he's scum.Quote:

The five remaining campers sat around the fire, all of them equidistant from each other. Were any of them so inclined, they could point out that they had formed a perfect pentagram. It might as well have been said, for there were certainly evil enough occurrences that had taken place over the past week to justify it.
For once, there had been some unanimity in the day's discussions. People suddenly realized that TheLastDays had still been hanging around despite not really saying much that required a commitment over the past week and not really coming under much pressure - as the escaped fugitives had mostly been targeting those who did not look to be in danger of being lynched, the fact that TLD had been generally untouched brought him even more suspicion.
Of course, the inverse of this was that most of his accusers had been under suspicion for pretty much the entire week, and had narrowly escaped being lynched themselves once or twice. So, the question was: were those who had just barely made it banding together because they wanted to put the hammer down on potential opposition once and for all, or because they honestly saw a possible way out of this, and, after a week's worth of miscues, were finally starting to put things together?
TheLastDays, for one, obviously believed that it was the former option, but he was eventually shot down 4-1. Taking a long look into the fire, TheLastDays realized that his last days had been full of regrets and missed opportunities. Once, he had a life full of promise, full of opportunities, but the years had been cruel to him, with one stretch of bad luck after another. Eventually, the worst of all had been this final one, the journey to this cursed campground, where as he waited for the access road to finally dry up, he watched his companions die one by one until the reaper finally called his number, tonight.
Deep in contemplation, TheLastDays gradually leaned over the fire more and more until he was finally whacked in, courtesy of a large flaming log. And then there were four.

And so, Khaan, it has come down to this. We never got our epic duel in the Pokeman game. I challenge you to a duel, my flaming log against yours.
At last, we shall see which of our logs is the strongest.
Look at ATPG...
SO certain both he and khaan are going to survive the night.
It's almost as if he's the one calling the shots...
Well of course I'm going to survive the night with everyone pointing fingers of suspicion on me. Thanks guys! :laugh4:Quote:
