I will take one last stab at figuring out what's going on. I don't have anything to lose at this point.

Actually no, this is too compromising on neutrality no matter what I do. So you may issue joke challenges but they never will be accepted. You also can't vote for me. I'm the freakin priest king!

Ok, well in that case I will refrain from posting my theory that the mafia are trying to kill Reenk Roink, not the town. being the usurpers, that would make sense. But if the host is saying categorically that you cannot challenge him, and cannot vote for him, then you probably cannot murder him.

The circle around the fire contracted as settlers slowly made there way to their own shantys and shacks. Some had been shaken when the beast of the oceans had attacked, others had simply been talking for days on end with no sleep, but all were tired and the wine was running low*


*A casket of the finest vintage 'Wifom' had been cracked open in celebration of a successful landfall from the cellar of one of the most noble of 'good'** men. The wine was heady and fruity and got it's name, ironically, from the tongue of the common peasantry: 'Wifom' stood for 'Wife or mother', due to the fact that the sleep of those who drank it was said to be akin to nestling at the breast of whichever provided solace to all men, in their dreams

**Or 'Jerks' as the 'ladies' of the night called them

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.

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.

After some time, Reenk Roink entered the hall, flanked by his retinue of Bronze Companions and some priests. He began to address the crowd: "Settlers, our preliminary investigation has led us to some conclusions. The events on the ship with the sea creature and the attempt on my life last night are related in some way having to do with the god Vode. We do not know why Vode is displeased with us but the guy has always been somewhat of a prick so it is not completely unexpected."

The priest king continued: "The priests have interpreted the signs of the gods and..."

At this point someone in the crowd abruptly interrupted: "lol gods!" However, his insolence went unpunished as he blended away in the mob.

Reenk Roink, after pausing for a few moments, carried on: "The priests have interpreted the signs of the gods and have come to the conclusion that there are usurpers among us who are following the dictates of Vode. Their goal does not stop at taking my life. They want this entire settlement to be destroyed."

"As of now, we have not identified who exactly these usurpers, but I assure you, I will oversee a thorough investigation of everyone's dwellings as well as consult the priests for info..."

The priest king was interrupted yet again, this time by a visible well dressed man: "Now just wait a minute! You agreed that us settlers would have a say in policy, and we want a say in this!"

Reenk Roink replied: "Yes, but we already have gathered much information and are close to unmask..."

An ordinary dressed man interjected: "Yes, it is us who will oversee the investigation. Every day we will gather the evidence and discuss it, and then vote for who we think is the usurper. Then we will execute that man!"

To this suggestion the settlers cheered in unison while the priest king looked at them incredulously. Soon his expression turned to one of disgust and he stormed out of the hall.

Shlin.....would you accept my challenge to a duel if I gave one?

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...

Reply
Askthepizzaguy 23:04 12/03/09
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.

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.

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...
