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

[Askthepizzaguy]

Now, let's up Tincow's little code system so he can't get communications back from his minions.

Hi, I am Tyrannosaurus Flex, and this here would be mah buddy Rubber Ducky. Obviously we're far from loyal minions if I'm revealing our code to you.

Enjoy, it's actually a work of art. Kudos to Tincow. Shame he trusted me for even one whole round.

This is the code I will use to send a message to you in the thread, if I feel the need to do so. Your messages will be indicated as they will be addressed to Agent Tyrannosaurus Flex. I will speak plainly in the thread, but all names will be replaced by numbers. The numbers were generated by running the entire participant list (including replacements) through random.org. This is the list:

This list is unique to you. All others receiving similar codes will have different random.org lists, so they will not be able to understand the information I am giving you, and vice versa. If you wish to communicate with me, begin a post a post with a VOWEL as the first letter, and make it LOWERCASE. In that post, any name you list in the third line should be a GF-aligned person or someone else you think we need to kill. If you want to give more information than that, I will pay very close attention to what you write in line two. Figure out a way to put that information in there, and I will do my best to interpret your meaning. Remember, I will only look for encoded information from you in a post that begins with a lower case vowel. Do not use a lower case vowel at the start if you do not wish to communicate with me.

I know you are preparing a different code. Feel free to do so. If I like it better, I may use it, but will not decide until I see it.

This is the code I will use to send a message to you in the thread, if I feel the need to do so. Your messages will be indicated as they will be addressed to Agent Rubber Ducky.

This list is unique to you. All others receiving similar codes will have different random.org lists, so they will not be able to understand the information I am giving you, and vice versa. If you wish to communicate with me, put a smilie somewhere in the MIDDLE of the second sentence of your post. In that post, any name you list in the last line should be a GF-aligned person or someone else you think we need to kill. If you want to give more information than that, I will pay very close attention to what you write in the second to last line. Figure out a way to put that information in there, and I will do my best to interpret your meaning. Remember, I will only look for encoded information from you in a post that where there is a smilie somewhere in the MIDDLE of the second sentence. Do not put a smilie in the middle of the second sentence if you do not wish to communicate with me.

If you do not claim to have any active abilities, do not expect to receive much information from me as it would generally be pointless. If you currently have no abilities but later gain the ability to vig kill or investigate, it will be important for you to communicate that to me. As such, if you gain the ability to vig kill, when you make a coded post to me, FOS one (and only one) person. The FOS will mean nothing to me, but will tell me you can now vig. Similarly, if you gain the ability to investigate, do the same thing but FOS two people instead. Remember, only do this in a post with the proper code indicating I should pay attention to it.

So I am guessing mister Tincow, in his infinite wisdom, did indeed alter the code slightly for each person. You can probably find similar code-like behavior embedded in people's posts. Anyone with a lot of time on his hands (HI!!! MY NAME IS PIZZAGUY) will look for any such secretive communications.

Sorry mister cow, but it's still a cookiecutter pattern and you'll need to send out new codes now.





....What's that?

You can't???

Awww.

I encourage everyone who has gotten such a code to reveal it publicly, so you can see the master's handiwork. Tincow's moves last round were genius, this time, I intend to show him that he got a wee bit too cocky.

Bad move, Tincrow. Very bad crow.

[Sasaki Kojiro]

It's a good plan. But one thing I remember from rubicon and capo is that most people can't be bothered to work with the mafia.

I suppose we should look for someone ending their post with a smilie.

Good luck with that! As is clear, I anticipated this exact scenario when I created the codes. Have fun reading until your eyes bleed.

It's worth it, mister crow. I promise you this much, I will have your whole team eating crow before the game ends, dead or not. You make Omega mad; smash, etc.

That code is only useful for one person, and Beskar knows who; they won't be sending any further such communications.

I doubt they ever intended to work with tincow to begin with if they told me their code immediately.

Please understand that I'm just playing a game here, I do not wish to cause personal animosity between us. I know I have been a bit cocky in my posts, but that's exactly how a dead mafioso needs to act IMHO. OOC, I am greatly impressed by the boldness of what you attempted here, any comment I have made that would make it seem otherwise is unintentional and the result of pure-IC bravado.

Oh heck yeah, Tincow. You actually just made this game far more interesting.

Truth be told, if I did my mission as I was probably expected to do, which is random kill until your Samus twins are dead, it would have simply been a game of who can randomly kill who the fastest.

Meh. Boring.

An element of danger, and being forced to work with the town, just makes me feel like Capo all over again. I promise you, if they'll let me, I will deliver a nice pile of dead mafiosi to the town, just to put an emphasis on how much I appreciate being revealed.

You might have just handed me the tools I need to get the job done, so thanks.

[Greyblades]

Gotta say, its allways interesting when an anti town gets screwed over and wants revenge.

[Yaropolk]

Unvote; Vote:Renata per above accusation from ATPG

[Sasaki Kojiro]

Pizza should be lynched today.

We'll wagon renata tomorrow and see what she has to say.

[DELETE_THIS]

So ATPG, not only have you been working with tincow, you have an ally as well? I don't know any innocent roles that would have someone they can trust this early on. My vote stands. I suspect you were trying to, as a third party, use the mafia for your benefit. Now with tincow's reveal the whole thing has blown up in your face. I will not turn a blind eye this time. My vote stands and I suggest others to vote for ATPG as well. He IS a third party, he WILL try to win this game for himself and we can NOT trust him or his suggestions. Sure some of them may be mafia to give him credit, but in the end all we will find is a dagger in our backs.

[Beskar]

If anyone was curious, I will say my side of the whole ATPG thing.

If you remember, I posted something which made me heavily suspect Pizza. Basically, Pizza and TinCow were using some very similar phrases and arguments, and something in particular made link between them I couldn't deny. So I contacted Pizza for more information. Anyway, after a while, especially after a certain post of mine (about factions), Pizza realized I was incorruptible. This means I cannot be recruited by either Samus or Dark Samus. This was also confirmed separately by another claimed 'Hero' in a PM to me stating that I have been checked for corruptibility and I was found to be incorruptible.

Anyway, Pizza full-revealed to me. He said that he has two abilities, a scan and a kill ability. His role is to kill both Samus and Dark Samus, if he succeeds, he can win with the town. If they are alive, he is classed as SK and needs to be killed (I assume this is for maifa /w town faction victories). I lied in thread about him being cleared, to have him hang around, as he assured me that he will say who he was killing in advance, and since we both share the same objective in killing Samus and Dark Samus mafias, I saw no reason for us not to give him some space to do his work, afterall, I could just post in thread with "Lynch him" if required.

If you was also curious, since it was brought up about the 'investigator', they have claimed a GF role, similar to YLC's. Assuming that this investigator is a possible mafia, this gives the implication for a statement I made in thread about team Samus having GF cover-roles and team Dark Samus having IDFH cover-roles. This investigator is also in a situation if I do end up randomly targeted, I can reveal them (in a way within the rules) who they are, so the town can lynch them, or Dark Samus to night kill. So either way, I covered my back incase they are a mafia, however, I am willing to work with this person, even if the results do end up some what one-sided, as it will assist in getting rid of mafia, and allowing me to have a greater picture of who is actually who in the game.

Ultimately so far, the town seems to be in a strong position. If we want to have a real chance of taking down the mafia, there needs to be some element of trust from people. Feel free to reveal some information about yourself to me and I will use it with confidence in whacking another mafia.

For the record Beskar, I don't like your play. Many wrong conclusions can be made about Pizza being falsely confirmed townie, and about you being caught lying. I think that you didn't have to lie, that you didn't have to spread false information in order to protect someone who's not Town aligned. Working with him, fine, maybe, if you trust him, if the plan is good, if we get something out of it, but you shouldn't be lying to keep him alive.

It just doesn't help. You're the top Townie in my book, I'm very inclined to believe what you say.... well, I was. Now you're forcing me to second guess, and I'll have to wonder if you aren't trying to pull one of your moves. *sigh*

Well, my moves resulted us in getting Dark Samus. By me confronting Pizza privately, and covering his back, he fully revealed to me and felt we could work together. This resulted in us collaborating and getting Renata on the cards when Seon revealed his investigation result.

This move made TinCow come out to defend Renata and attack ATPG. This was the clincher which made Renata suspect number 1, and got her lynched. Thus with us having the fabulous write-up today.

You might disagree with my methods, but you are definitely not disagreeing with my results.


Edit: I was never caught lying, I confessed to lying, and in hindsight, I made the right choose, because it was my lying which got TinCow to come out the woodwork.

Not sure which part lying about Pizza being Town played in all of this, not sure if you could have done without it, but yeah, I like the result even if I don't agree with how you achieved it.

Edit to your edit:

That's so you.

You were caught lying, TinCow revealed ATPG's role before you admitted, and Pizza also confirmed it before. That's being caught lying to me. Either way, semantics.
