[Council of Villains] A State of Corruption [Concluded]

[pevergreen]

Alright then.

Vote: Csargo

[Skooma Addict]

Vote: Csargo

I attempted to block him but the attack on me caused it to fail. I suspect it's because the blockee can still attack the blocker.

[Choxorn]

It kind of looks like Madeline attacked Pikachu with her ice gun.

Madeline, whoever you are, did you attack someone with an ice gun? If so, they're probably Pikachu.
EDIT: Well, Skooma just answered my question.

[Skooma Addict]

To avoid editing the above vote post...

My block wasn't unsuccessful due to defenses as some of my others have been (ie: Ironside), this one just flat out failed specifically because I was attacked. It had to be mister Csargo. Lets lynch this furball and give Ash his manhood back.

[Seon]

Yeah, let's end this.

[Seon]

Oh man. Is it actually possible? Town victory?

[pevergreen]

Oh man. Is it actually possible? Town victory?

I don't see how to lose!

[a completely inoffensive name]

So Csargo is the last guy we need to kill? (I have just given up on participating at this point. You can expect me to actually participate in the New Vegas mafia game.)

[Askthepizzaguy]

Oh man. Is it actually possible? Town victory?

It is unavoidable. It is your destiny.

[Sasaki Kojiro]

Skooma targetted csargo, and is seen targetting pikachu in the write up? Cut and dry right?

I don't understand

[Sasaki Kojiro]

Also, YOU MOCKED ME, CSARGO:

While I'm not sure about the Renata lynch in itself, I am sure that the reason we're lynching her is a bad one. I'm putting my vote back on Unvote:, Vote:ATPG for now.

HMM.

Csargo is pikachu I think. Vote:Csargo

Yes, you have caught me. Me being pikachu and vote:Csargo, it's all true. I feel so dirty.

[Sasaki Kojiro]

But now you will get your comeuppance!

Vote ability gamma: Csargo (+1000 votes)

[Reenk Roink]

I hate when the town can win on brute attrition. I wish this was the last lynch. I'm with you 100% of the way Csargo! Do you have any day kill abilities to help Pikachu out before you go?

[pevergreen]

I don't understand

Were you being sincere or sarcastic is basically what I was asking.

[classical_hero]

It is so much fun watching things go bad for the town.

[Reenk Roink]

OK, in my great desire to see Csargo live even another second, I have even appealed to what I deem to be low and vile, merely in order to appeal to the target audience. I have made an analytical case based on commonly held methodological presuppositions that a majority of players hold. Obviously, doing this for too long will corrupt my mind, so it is quite brief, you can go back to where I refer to check my interpretation of events and not only will they be vindicated, but more evidence will come to the front which I have omitted.

The thesis: There is quite a lot of good evidence that Csargo is not Pikachu.

Exhibit A: The TinCow lynch is probably the best place to look for other members of Phazon. As TinCow was the first Phazon member to be flagged and in threat of dying, it would make sense that the Phazon try either:

1) Save him, as it was so early in the game and delaying his lynch as long as possible would be preferable to having him die so early, even at the expense of the partial credibility gained by being on the lynch of him, and there was a feasible counterwagon going that allowed just this.

1) Lynch him to gain a degree of credibilty as roles are revealed at death.

Both of these approaches seem a lot more likely as a Phazon course of action than say, showing aloofness to the matter. Csargo, on the other hand, did just that. Not only did he abstain from voting that whole round, but this was his only post (without even an explicit abstain vote):

grabs some popcorn

I like where this is headed. Don't mind me, I'll be in the corner.

This indifference seems unlikely for a Phazon to show.

Exhibit B: Examine very carefully what Diamondeye said about Csargo before and as he revealed as Dooplis, especially his statements on or after the round round of his lynch. There seems to be a very strong intimation that Csargo is not Phazon at all. In fact, one reading of it has Csargo as a potential Bowser team member in some sense.

The purported case on Csargo seems to be the fact that Skooma Addict's night action ON Csargo was blocked because he was attacked. However, an invisible inference is being casually made (perhaps in some cases with complete ignorance to the fact it is being made at all) that Csargo was the one who attacked him. This inference is unjustifiable, as any attack from any person should block the night action.

Another reason (in fact the only other major reason I can think of) that may be brought up is that during the Renata vote, Csargo voted Atpg in lieu of Renata. His action may perhaps be seen as an attempt to save Renata. While this is a somewhat plausible reading of this action, given the broader context, it seems an anomaly. Also one can point out that Csargo voted Atpg early on, when the vote between Atpg and Renata was not close, and it seemed that Renata would almost certainly be killed. Indeed, one could make the case that a plausible act for the last remaining Phazon would be to put his/her vote on Renata for credibility. Especially if that wasn't done for TinCow (which in Csargo's case, it wasn't).

One final point of consideration is inactivity. Pikachu did not make an appearance in the night writeup for one night 5. One may be tempted to argue that this implies inactivity, which it most certainly does not, at least not solely, and attempt to make a case that Csargo is known for periods of inactivity and not sending orders in. However, the case can be turned around on this premise. One could argue that Csargo would be expected to be much more inactive than missing just one kill round (and that one missed kill does not necessarily imply inactivity in the first place).

I really hope you consider my words carefully, and realize the manifest error you are in. Unvote Csargo, and please lynch someone else. Skooma Addict seems like the best bet so far. We are not 100% sure that the Hero faction can be trusted. Perhaps they have goals of their own. And Skooma Addict is Hero with much more certainty at this point than anyone else is anything else. I suggest he die to cover the town's bases. After all, the town can afford to win by attrition.

The last thing I will try is something I haven't done in a very long time, because the audience has changed, and it likely will not work (the previous audiences were so much cooler in many ways than the current audience, and I really long for them back ). However, given the graveness of the situtation, it is worth a shot:

Please, please, please, PLEASE, for my sake do not lynch Csargo. For my sake. Please.

That is all.

It is so much fun watching things go bad for the town.

Seeing as there is no way you would know who is the last mafia still alive seeing as he's on the phazon not bowser team I think I speak for all of us when I say: shut it.

Well that is just rude.

[pevergreen]

Well that is just rude.

Not the thing I thought you would say, more likely: "I was gunna say that"

I can't refuse Reenk. I hope we avenged you Reenk! Unvote: Csargo

You make me out to be a juvenile wanting the world to hear his barbaric yawp.

Oh right, the new avatar has completely changed you.

lol, I'm just not being typical ACIN here due to my late entry and no clue of who is what. So no stupid spam posts and no crudeness in here for me. Although, next game I do wish to legitimately participate as well.

That is all I am going too say to that post. My work here is done. Since we cannot win we might as well cheer for the last remaining scum.

I do know of two people still playing, but my I could suggest a possible lynch but no one would ever listen to me anyway.

I would listen. I wouldn't really do anything, but my ears are open.

If thats the correct berry to cure that, and you knew it off the top of your head, my respect for you just went down a bit.
