The Settlement [Concluded]

I am confused.

ATPG, why are you always so keen on getting yourself lynched? It doesn't help your team one bit, no matter which side you're on.

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

Well, this game, I wasn't keen on getting myself lynched. But when push came to shove, I had to play it off like I was ok with dying. However, in games like this with plenty of complex pro-town roles, I very much intend to be the first to go if I don't have a protown role, because we needn't lynch a pro-town on the first round, and there is almost no chance of catching mafia that round, with the mafia at full strength, and the town clueless and divided and paranoid and randomly voting.

It serves in town's best interest to get rid of someone who will not hurt the cause if they are dead, unless you want to in a complex game take the risky shot of killing a mafia round one instead of a valuable pro-town role or an unwilling innocent (much, much more likely) If you disagree with that tactic, that's cool. I think it is sound. But I wasn't going for it this game, because of a certain little secret I was trying to keep to myself.

Besides, it does help eliminate me as a suspect, and you townies simply CANNOT resist lynching me. I'd prefer you do it on a non-critical, early, "townies are divided and clueless" round rather than a late "make or break", "townies are informed and on their game" round, where it's now up to them to defeat the mafia.

If I am alive at that point, frankly, I don't trust you guys to avoid lynching me, because no matter what I do to prove my townie status, no matter how suicidal, no matter how risky my play, I am always a top suspect for you guys, even though the odds are just the same as yours that I am mafia or town. I know you guys. When I survive past the opening, I'm too tempting a target, and you get soooo paranoid that everything I am doing is just the next greatest riskiest strategy to win and pull the wool over your eyes and laugh in your face when I win, that you just cannot resist. There hasn't been a game yet where half the town wasn't tempted to vote for me.

And, I cannot turn myself into a lurker, because that would get me lynched as well. I tried to play it in the middle this game, and that made me a target for White_Eyes duel obsession.

No matter what I do, I am the next great scapegoat. Beefy187, you have been dethroned.

Does that make sense? Hidden in spoilers.

Step back...take a drink of water...chiiillll...it isn't even day one yet.

[shlin28]

*sigh* Do I really need to bring out this? *Brandishes super awsome blade of supreme doom!*

Stop arguing and get back to sleep, I need to guard this little "settlement" of yours in the day, so SHHHHH!

[White_eyes:D]

White_Eyes duel obsession

I have given up on duels....either
A) Town well lynch me for having one
B) or they well reject and ignore the challenge and leave me as murder-bait.....





looks bad....

[LittleGrizzly]

I have to say about the duels in Midgaard, they provide a good example of what can happen....

Not a single mafia was killed in a duel, the one time a mafia did fight (Sarathos) he concealed his ability and no one could tell there was a gap in duel scores... we killed off a few innocents some of which were suspects as well though, thats why i think the duelling system should be used carefully, if we really need to we can pressure suspects to fight just to remove a suspect....

In terms of actually killing the mafia i think its unlikely in a duel unless we know we have a good guy with a high duel score....

If anyone tells you they can detect mafia from dueling lynch them instantly.... and then TinCow just for good measure

Edit: ok didn't think i took that long, started before RR posted...

So have we actually discussed anything apart from Pizza being a mason and a spineless peasent, White eyes love for dueling and dueling itselfs... ohh and some commie propaganda...

so umm who to vote for...

[Askthepizzaguy]

If you believe me about my mason reveal, I'd accept information on your duelling strengths to help town determine who should fight later on, should you decide to.

Really dumb of me to ask, for my survival. Trust me or don't. I have to find a way to be useful now.

Vote: No Lynch

Give the pro-town roles a chance to do their thing and gather data, people.

Edit: Nevermind, that's not allowed this game.

Vote: Abstain.

[Reenk Roink]

Not day. You would see kills and such.

[Askthepizzaguy]

Edit; nevermind, it is night phase apparently.

[Askthepizzaguy]

I just confirmed it with Reenk, it is Night phase. Cease voting.

yatta yatta...

Notice how he hides the truth with the jibber of the common man. I have bolded to stress it.

ooc: this is why you get lynched old bean - people know you will come back from the dead to help the cause even if you aren't trying to pull the wool of some poor goat over our eyes.

[Gaius Scribonius Curio]

Alright have to run to work (friday/saturday is the low point of my activity cycle).

One point I'd like to make. At this early stage it makes no sense for people to be challenging anyone. Later on when there is more information available it might be more acceptable, but even then I'd recommend against it...

"lol gods!"

*Blends into crowd*

[Lord Winter]

I think this game might be a record for most information produced without anything useful coming out of it.

I think this game may even beat godfather 3 judging on everything that's gone on before day one.

[Captain Blackadder]

Now my fellow men we must remain together for as the good book of Renk says tis good men or men has no bearing for we all one in being men for we must stop the usurpers.

Lord Winter.....you just earned a SIG....
