Ja Mata, Tosa.
The poorest man may in his cottage bid defiance to all the forces of the Crown. It may be frail; its roof may shake; the wind may blow through it; the storm may enter; the rain may enter; but the King of England cannot enter – all his force dares not cross the threshold of the ruined tenement! - William Pitt the Elder
Roles are assigned randomly. Do I think ATPG could possibly pull it off? Yeah, he's a very good player. But there are maybe two other people in this game who wouldn't immediately crash and burn with an objective like that. It just doesn't seem like a good game mechanic, it's illogical.
Perhaps. I personally think it is at least more convincing to be truthful than to lie through my teeth about my role when at least 7 or 8 other players know the opposite is true. By being truthful, I show I've got nothing to lose. At this point, I have no doubt that I will not survive this game.
EDIT: Additionally, if you want a little back-up: CR is most probably mafia scum (has he been confirmed yet?). CR's case on Xehh II was no less valid because he was scum.

Why do people insist on trying to get ATPG killed? Why do they want him dead in the first place? These and many other questions ran through Sasaki's head.

I've been given roles in games that seem illogical.
Roles in games in which I am one against organized teams of people, I may have my small advantages but overall it's still me vs everyone.
I'm not saying it's easy odds to win it, but I'm also not saying that the planets need to align for someone with this role to win.
It's possible that many people would've crashed and burned, but that shouldn't invalidate a role.

Plus, he's lied about his 'guarantees'. If he kept his word he'd have lynched himself by now becuase Beefy was innocent.

Another thing to consider is that we now have more doctors than we started with.
They can defend each other. How do I defeat them, again? Just checking. Why would I want to make more of them, if my objective is to eliminate townies? Just curious. And why didn't I hand them all to the mafia to have the mafia wipe them out? Oh yeah, that would make more sense...
I sincerely hope no one is buying this garbage.
But I have to admit, they sure put up a fight when you correctly accuse them.
What happened with woad&fangs, by the way? Wasn't he ANOTHER "townie" that I evilly destroyed? That was the charge. Along with "falsely" accusing LittleGrizzly. At least this time Chaotix admits he's not a townie.

I can concede this point to ATPG, with our doctors at their current power, if the mafia is eliminated, if there are any left even, the doctors can just perform a protection ring.Originally Posted by ATPG
Instant stalemate, except for voting phases.

And the rest - the mafia killing - was just to gain the trust of the town, so you could order the doctors as you liked while your kill squad keeps on killing at night, finding ever more suspicious people to target.

I fail to see how killing people who are "suspicious", with often good results, makes anyone a bad person.
EDIT
I cannot spell for beans :/

Your statements about ATPG's goals sound like desperate propaganda and do not mesh with what I have observed of his actions. If ATPG has to destroy the entire town, the game has a LONG way to go yet and it will become obvious very quickly.
ATPG: Do me a favor and at least PM me with info on YLC's triggers. I would be very irked if I died in that manner at this point in the game.
If possible, everyone should probably know YLC's triggers. No need for more people to get bumped off because of him. And wasn't it shown that when Beefy was lynched, ATPG was trrying to convince people to vote for Ichigo, who was, y'know, mafia? Why does everyone keep bringing it up as a valid point?Originally Posted by TinCow
Fair enough Atpg, but then what about El Diablo?
Also, it's a bit disingenuous to say that 1) scum are the only ones criticizing you. Was Kommodus scum? He was part of the most critical group early on that rushed the town to a great start, his criticisms of you are what most every new criticism of you is based on (not much new to say, just different ways to say it).
Also, again, I bring up 3 points:
1) The lynches you have directed are based in large part because of the information you gather from the investigations of various detectives. Now, I argue that given that incredible source of information, your record should be a lot better than what it is, especially now in the game. After all, Kommodus's group was most likely much smaller than yours and had much less info but got near perfect results. Also, you dying would not resutl in the sudden loss of that info. And it would give the opportunity for a fresh set of eyes to actually make decisions on it.
2) You yourself are not a critical role alive to a town victory, am I correct? We still have Prole and slashandburn around to check for communists if people are worried about that, and the other detectives give the actual criminal and innocent and what not. Granted, you can get more info on second investigations, but so can they, and we have several of them.
3) You can continue in your managerial position while dead, with much less scrutiny, leading to much less distraction for the town.
Fair points?![]()

Why don't we just...IDK....vote him for director where he CAN'T, do anything anyway?![]()
The argument for that would be "He can still control his roaming kill groups," I believe.
Aside from that, I want to be director darnit :(
I never get to do write-ups haha.

Wow, that role must have been awesome to play YLC.

You yourself admitted that detective results aren't ironclad. You're expecting too much from me.1) The lynches you have directed are based in large part because of the information you gather from the investigations of various detectives. Now, I argue that given that incredible source of information, your record should be a lot better than what it is, especially now in the game.
I would ask why it is expected that I get 100% of my suspects correct, instead of 90-95%.
I'm giving out all that info very soon. Based on support, I've decided that the beginning of next round is the appropriate time. I will not knock Kommodus' efforts, if he were still with us, he would most assuredly have nailed most of the scums.After all, Kommodus's group was most likely much smaller than yours and had much less info but got near perfect results. Also, you dying would not resutl in the sudden loss of that info. And it would give the opportunity for a fresh set of eyes to actually make decisions on it.
The role has never been, but my connections to the detectives have been, and having someone doing organization is essential.2) You yourself are not a critical role alive to a town victory, am I correct?
No, most players are loyal to America right now. There's only 3? I think with questionable results. And I can vouch for one of those.We still have Prole and slashandburn around to check for communists if people are worried about that
Agreed.and the other detectives give the actual criminal and innocent and what not. Granted, you can get more info on second investigations, but so can they, and we have several of them.
I agreed to die in two rounds. But I am afraid that I feel my vote is still valuable to the town, I am sorry, I disagree with the decision before that time.3) You can continue in your managerial position while dead, with much less scrutiny, leading to much less distraction for the town.
This is the best I can offer.

Lynch ATPG.
No one should hold power for this long, not unless they are given it as their role (eg: king/high priest/ruler of in game land etc)
You agreed to do something. Do it.
Or do you have no honour?
What happens in another two rounds?
"Oh no we don't have enough townies left, I can't die! Town will lose." - ATPG on the final stretch to a complete win.
