The Inquisition [Concluded]

[Zack]

Hi Zack, nice of you to pop by
I was curious to see who you would save.

[Zack]

Pretty sure this won't count, but worth a shot:
Unvote. Vote: El Barto

So you wanted to save edse? You seem distraught at his demise.

[Nightbringer]

But isn't that sticking your neck way too far out as mafia. It looks like a desperate attempt at saving someone with no strong reason to think it would work. Its a pointless risk for mafia.

On the other hand, Zack and el Barto are a possible pair of mafia, especially since they are both on that unknown list I've made my way onto.

[Myrddraal]

Nice try Zack, but I was online when the extension was posted. I could have ended it instantly (I nearly did actually, stopped myself half-way through writing the quick reply). But I realised it would be much more interesting to watch the scum come out to play.

But of course, you would like us to think you're not scum. So perhaps you could explain why edse was a good vote. Please bear in mind the following points:

• The person claiming to have a scan on Edse backed down and said that their scan was not reliable
• Edse was confirmed as in the write-up protecting Visor last night
• Edse was one of a small religion of townies, and therefore a good target for the mafia.

[El Barto]

So if I tell the mafia my religion then I might be a target for night-killing? Better to not reveal then.

I have not followed this game near close enough to respond to your points. I saw ATPG/GH saying edse was a good lynch, and I followed them. There was no more thought put into it than that.

Deadline met. Writeups asap.

Askthepizzaguy was settling into his quarters for the night, preparing his evening dinner ritual. It was a time consuming tradition that dictated a fair degree of preparation, but some things simply had to be done. The universe had a natural order, and certain actions had to be taken, lest misfortune befall him. Three plates to the left, to hold the primary course. Two plates in front, appetizer. A bowl on the right, for soup. Upon finishing setting his silverware, he picked up a small mallet and gently rang the bell situated to his left three times. Finally, he could begin.

That is, if he had not been interrupted by a knock on the door. Composing himself in spite of the fact that he would have to repeat the ritual, he set his dining cloth down and made his way to the door. AS he reached for the handle, the door was blown back and he was sent flying backwards into the back wall. A man hovered in the doorway, long white hair flowing behind him as he made his way in. His eyes glowed a shining silver as he withdrew a long, curved blade from his waist.

"The hour of judgment is upon this world. You are not fit for this world, for my world. You sit here in your meager quarters upholding ritual but not understanding why. Such is this world now. The true natural order will remade, and all will know why." The blade was raised to a cowering Askthepizzaguy. "Begone, meager creature. Know that you die in the name of the most glorious cause - the purification of this world." A flicker of the blade sent a shining, silver wave into Askthepizzgauy, rending him in two from top to bottom. "Pathetic..."







"An outrage! I was sure we had made such progress!" Kavehir ranted as the remainder of the inquisition were gathered. "We had narrowed it down, we were on their trail! And yet, last night, another dead, and this time with nobody sure how? Ragh! Clearly, we must redouble our efforts! We must find the treacherous weasels who have gone to ground and evaded our attention!"

Got someone's attention.

[Visor]

[GeneralHankerchief]

Vote: autolycus

Inconsistency with sending in protection orders at night.

[Golden1Knight]

Vote: El Barto

The other mafioso was busy, or was him our departed edse?

[El Barto]

‘Other’ would imply that I was one of a group of two. I am not in any groups whatsoever.

vote:Myrddraal for trying to have me lynched yesterday. I'd've killed you if I had been capable of it after that, regardless of alignment and religion.

[Sooh]

Vote: autolycus

Inconsistency with sending in protection orders at night.

Yes, I noticed this too.

Vote: autolycus

Splainey pls.

[Myrddraal]

You would have killed me for putting you under pressure, in a game of Mafia, really? Of course it's nothing personal.

‘Other’ would imply that I was one of a group of two. I am not in any groups whatsoever.

Sounds like the prelude to a role reveal... *drumroll*

On another note, last round Monty successfully dodged far too much attention, seemly by voting for whoever the limelight fell on, however briefly, to get himself out of trouble.

Vote: Monty

[GeneralHankerchief]

Alright, two things.

First of all, I'm strongly considering getting a vig group together to take out our serial lurkers. Among others, this is johnhughthom, landlubber, and Golden1Knight (Zack's on it too, but he has at least repeatedly explained his absence in this and other threads). If your name is on this list: Kindly start posting here to explain why your life should be spared at this point in the game. Please note: "I'm innocent" and similar variations will not be accepted as valid excuses.

Second of all:

Unvote: autolycus
Vote: Sooh

Was hoping my bait would rope someone in. If a mafioso wants to hide in a group, there are far simpler ways to deceive people than excluding a name in a set of group orders.

Hard to do so without meta-gamey arguments, but I think my lackluster play this game has been in a particularly townie way. Look at my posts - I'm not being a "sneaky" lurker trying to fly under the radar.

Ugh, I hate this type of argument, I think it's really weak. "You've activated my trap card" in mafia is basically ret-conning your bad vote. Voting someone for using the exact same reasoning and accusation as you is just lame.

[GeneralHankerchief]

Well, in this case, there was another reason: the scanner got a guilty result on Sooh last night and I wanted things to play out somewhat naturally before we brought that information to bear.

[GeneralHankerchief]

BTW, let me highlight the truly relevant part of my above post:

[landlubber]

I don't particularly deserve to be alive.

Vote:Myrddraal.

[GeneralHankerchief]

No, folks, seriously, SOOH IS GUILTY, please put your votes on her.

[Nightbringer]

Vote: Monty

That sounds like a pretty petty excuse simply serving to justify an otherwise inexplicable vote, inexplicable unless you know something more that is. Care to share?

vote:Myrddraal

[Nightbringer]

As to sooh, do we know what her night action history is at all, since that could be useful for confirming this scan as not a ruse.

[GeneralHankerchief]

It's made by the same scanner who has claimed that both dcmort and edse were guilty. If the game continues (ASSUMING WE ACTUALLY LYNCH HER), then we know who to target next.

[GeneralHankerchief]

Seriously, Myrddraal is literally the worst person in the game to lynch right now. He's a Shahnak, so he can still do stuff at night, he's active and driving discussion, and he's also been a healthy skeptic. If you lynch him we're going to be left with the scum, a bunch of lurkers, and me, who will die IRL from an aneurysm from this turn of events.

A worse lynch than yourself or the scanner?

[Montmorency]

Well, GH, don't you find it a bit strange that I get 3 scans in a row pinging scum?

That everyone around Myrddraal and I has been coming up dead?

That you suggest Sooh as a scan target, and that you tell Pizza to have me scan Sooh, and she just happens to give up the same ho-hum kind of result that I got with edse? That sooh should just happen to be scum, though she certainly has nothing more against her than, say, you or Myrddraal? The same Myrddraal who's shown so much flexibility in his orientation toward his townie tools collaborators and PRs?

Vote: Myrddraal

And don't think I've forgotten that nice little episode early in the game, in which you nobly volunteered to be a vig-test, and everyone was onboard until Myrddraal redirected the target to the awful abstaining GoldenKnight.

Here's what's what, GH. Tonight, a large vig group will attack you under my command. There's no power in me or the fractionated townies to make the attack lethal, but at this point I think it's a better alternative than scanning under the impression that I'm not being led by the nose.

If you are scum, there will be a very interesting result, even though you will not be harmed. The nice thing is, it will be evident even if I do not remain alive to elaborate.

If you are not scum, then nothing informative will occur. A wasted night, but if you put so much assurance in Sooh being scum, with or without my scan result, her lynch should follow smoothly anyway.

[GeneralHankerchief]

Worse lynch than the scanner for sure. For me, probably 50-50, but Myrddraal seems a lot frustrated than me, so it's probably better he sticks around in the long term.
