    No, I didn't realize.

    I'd better Unvote; Vote: God Emperor.... because.... umm.... your name is strange.

    Sorry, what I was trying to say is that Romanic easily gives himself away if he's vanilla rather than mafia. Examples? Every game I've played with him where he's been town (you were in Beefdom, weren't you Pizza?) he's always taken the crystal-clear, honest townie strategy. I'd have liked to see whether this pans out during this game.

    Either way, that'll teach me to go on the Org after having a few drinks, heh.

    If you really mean this (and I hope it was just a passing comment), I'm more than happy to Unvote; Vote: Romanic rather than go with my previous decision to abstain.

    Sorry for the slight delay, round is over. Writeup posted soon.

    The time had finally ticked by, and the poor panicked folks didn't look like they had much of an idea. Accusation went to no less than half the entire group! This was hardly a consensus like I'd been hoping for, but when all was said, a man who I'd guess had been Italian, by the name of Romanic, had been declared most suspicious. He was jostled to the front by everyone else. Not harshly, but in a determined sort of manner. Romanic, for his part, did not look panicked, but quite calm. In a way, I thought, he was a victor in all this, assuming he wasn't at fault. He would be safe, even if in a cage.


    “Well hello, Romanic!” The lady chirped. A comically impressive frown overtook her face. “It looks like the folks here don't seem to like you all that much.” And just like that, the smile was back. “Well, no worries, everything will be just alright.” She reached into her jacket, and with the skill of an old west outlaw, whipped out an old colt revolver, took aim at Romanic's face, and blew a a giant, gaping hole in it. All in less than a second. My jaw dropped. An assortment of screams and gasps came from the crowd.


    “WHAT WAS THAT?! I THOUGHT WE WERE IMPRISONING THEM!”


    “Oh, silly John,” she answered in her sweet tone. “That was told to you so there wouldn't be immediate panic. You all are trapped in here, so there's actually no place to imprison anyone.” She took a look at the rest of the crowd and waved her right hand. “Aaaaaanywhos, have fun in transience everyone!” The crowd slowly backed away in a shuffle from her, and finally turned their backs once near the hallways. “Go on, John, otherwise you'll end up in transience out here and then you'd just be a sitting duck. And don't worry about this,” she motioned to Romanic. “I'll have it cleaned up in a jiffy. Have a good rest!”











    Its now night phase, I'm giving 24 hours to get me orders!


    Tally:


    Romanic 4 (Arp, Pinman, Civplayah, Askthepizzaguy)




    ATPG 2 (Secura, Romanic)
    landlubber 1 (Beskar)
    Captain Blackadder 1 (God Emperor)
    Skooma Addict 1 (Blackadder)
    Arpeg 1 (DiY)
    DiY 1 (Frozen in Ice)
    Renata 1 (W&F)
    Diana 1 (landlubber)
    Frozen In Ice 1 (Skooma)
    woad&fangs 1 (Split)
    Beskar 1 (Renata)
    God Emperor 1 (Pinman)
    ---
    not voting 1 (Diana)

    unvote, vote: Romanic

    Perhaps your vote for Pinman was a distancing tactic that has backfired. Let's find out.

    It's far too easy to gauge whether Romanic's innocent by looking at his mid-game posts. No investigation required - if he's bleating like a townie then he's vanilla. If he withdraws into himself, THEN set the dogs on him.

    Are you annoyed that I am putting your sweetheart in the lead?

    Very well, she isn't anymore.

    unvote: Diana; vote: ATPG

    I think my reaction to other people voting for Diana has been the same in almost every game: dead silence. She is just another player in this game. It would be like accusing me of caring if someone voted for Split or Beskar because they are friends of mine... that has no real bearing on the game.

    But back to the game itself: Both you and Pinman seemed quite disconcerted when I placed a second vote on him. I'm very interested by this. Then you removed your vote. I see you gave an excuse for voting for someone besides Pinman, in that he hadn't posted yet but then he did. If that is your basis for the vote, I find it interesting that you're voting for me. Kinda panicky and all over the map for a first round, if I were to characterize it. While it is a long shot you and Pinman flinched over one additional vote this early in the game, it is also not impossible. It also fits in with the usual distancing strategy.

    If you truly are innocent, then you will acknowledge that Pinman isn't your mafia partner. I'd like to see you place your vote where it was. Unless of course... that makes you uncomfortable somehow.

    Panicky, panicky... that's all you have for me these days? You're accusing me of being panicky in Zhou, and now here?

    I'm not panicky, I'm returning you the favor of putting you ahead of the tally, after you did the same to me. How do you like it?

    Changing my vote from Diana to you doesn't change the pîcture. I'm still tied at 2 with someone, except that this someone is now you, and not Diana. So where's the panic?

    Let's roll the dices, I'm not moving my vote back to Pinman just because you request it, and imply that he could be my partner. That would be plain stupid of me as it would leave me alone ahead of the tally, which is btw:

    2 Romanic (civplayah, ATPG)
    2 ATPG (Secura, Romanic)
    1 landlubber (Beskar)
    1 Captain Blackadder (God Emperor)
    1 Skooma Addict (Blackadder)
    1 Arpeg (DiY)
    1 DiY (Frozen in Ice)
    1 Renata (W&F)
    1 Diana (landlubber)
    1 Frozen In Ice (Skooma)
    1 woad&fangs (Split)
    1 Beskar (Renata)
    1 God Emperor (Pinman)
    ---
    1 abstain (Arpeg)
    1 not voting (Diana)


    You started this, let's finish it manly! You and me, random.org decides who goes down! Are you scared?
