Pirate Ship Mafia III [Concluded]

[Montmorency]

NOW you don't want to vote Andres?

empirical > circumstantial

I have explained already why Andres cannot be OS. Check the earlier posts from today.

We're both relying on circumstantial evidence, mind.

[Visor]

Unvote; Vote: Ituralde

[Visor]

We can still have andres vigged by a five man team tonight.

[Montmorency]

Spaceman did try to kill andres - but perhaps they knew he wouldn't die immediately at end of phase.

There was the lynch, then he urged for vig on N2, then he supported Andres lynch D3, then again urged for vig N3.

[Golden1Knight]

Since at least half of you want to see me dead, if I survive the day I will abandon the ship. It was an honor to travel and loot with you, but this old pirate still prefers to leave this ship alive.

In the case of my death, I left BSmith as my sole beneficiary. Don't waste it all, young Anne. (OOC: A small thank, for showing me such an interesting game :) )

[Montmorency]

*sigh*

Very well.

Golden, abandon the ship.

Visor, block Andres.

Zack, Auto, Myrd, Monty will kill Andres.

[Csargo]

Csargo, Ituralde, and Montmorency.

All unaccounted for Night 1. ATPG was town and Gaius is dead.

Gaius could be the frenchman of course but eh.

I was in the same group as atpg. It's like people don't pay attention at all. All 4 of us confirmed that.

[Visor]

Not in the writeup - I should clarify.

[Visor]

So by getting rid of Andres and Ituralde we can basically guarantee we have the frenchman dead.

Leaving perhaps just the maven operative alive.

[Zack]

Yarr, now that's more like it lads. This old salt talks like a true pirate. Besides I don't even know who this Jim fellow is... or isn't, for that matter

Aye, I to am in need of gold mates, and I'll vote for ye if ye give me some (Likewise if someone bids higher, I'll vote for them).

Elect: Kagemusha (entering vote to make sure I have a legal one before the deadline. I'll change it if not bribed adequately compensated!)

Elects Kagemusha who made Andres an officer

vote: Mutiny and vote: Anders



Telling other people to vote, but not voting for anyone yourself? unvote: Anders. vote El Barto

Why can't I lynch both of you?

immediately unvotes andres so he's not in any real danger

Andres: 7
Landlubber: 5
Ironside: 3

One more vote on Andres to clinch.

unvote: vote: Anders

The landlubber wagon is bad, as is the Ironside one frankly

Jumped on when Andres seemed to be running away, typical bussing spot

Agreed.

vote: kill

and if Anders survives today, I'd be up for vigging him

Spare was way in the lead at this point, and it wasn't really ever close. Easily persuaded to not vig andres that night (see qt m257)

Ok, I have a lot to sift through, and I have to say I'm rather confused.

I think enough has been said about the perils of rounding. Moral of the story: don't do it.

Xiahou if you got some of your gold from a will why didn't you say so immediately? The initial charge was that you had more gold than a townie reasonably could at this stage. Was that adressed and burried under all the spam? Or did you just ignore it?



Ok this explains how two groups of people could "include" Csargo, but clearly he couldn't be in two places at once. Csargo, care to elaborate?




Also, why have all of us forgotten about Andres? Here he is, making unsubstantiated and unproductive votes, contributing nothing to the discussion, etc.



Well we know that now, but a lot of people seemed to believe that things like protection are much more verifiable than they actually are so Xiahou could have assumed claiming inactivity was the safer option


Can we have a tally please? I'm totally lost. Keeping my vote on Xiahou becuase I don't like the Monty lynch and because several things about his behavior, especially him jumping haphazardly from vote to vote, strike me as suspicious


WTF is with El Barto (aka Tak) switching votes continuously?




How is Andres in any way town?

rants against andres without actually voting him, voting for xiahou instead

He doesn't mention Andres again in the thread, despite earlier statement that he was not "in any way town". He was on the vig attempt on Andres during the night of the storm, and I assume the Frenchman has nightkill resistance anyways (he did in the last game when he wasn't even mafia).

I think it's weird how insistent Monty is being that the above somehow PROVES andres/spaceman are not affiliated. It seems like standard distancing/bussing to me. spaceman never really pushed that strongly to eliminate andres - suggested it, sure, but never pushed in the way others this game have pushed to eliminate some. If Andres isn't the Frenchman, I'd like to hear who could be, because no one else could have done both blocks and the conversion.

[Zack]

LYNCH ANDRES

ELECT BSMITH

[Zack]

I was in the same group as atpg. It's like people don't pay attention at all. All 4 of us confirmed that.

Did you even look at the spreadsheet? ATPG was in a different group protecting zacl.

[Visor]

Unvote; Vote: Andres

yes m;lord

[Montmorency]

OK. Fine. Given analysis of N5 actions, the only possibilities for a BSmith block:

Andres
JHT
Gaius

The last two are dead. Very well, we kill Andres tonight.

[Montmorency]

Visor, do you want Golden lynched, or what? Wise up. Finish Ituralde and let us see how much Zack wants Andres dead.

[Zack]

OK. Fine. Given analysis of N5 actions, the only possibilities for a BSmith block:

Andres
JHT
Gaius

The last two are dead. Very well, we kill Andres tonight.

Why so insistent on killing Andres instead of lynching him? Because you're the french recruit and you know andres is resistant to nightkills? HMMMM

[Visor]

Unvote; Vote: Ituralde


yes m'lord

[Visor]

what is even the tally?

does day end in a few minutes

[Zack]

To take me as a suspect for not being in the N1 writeup, you would have to accept that I am accounted for N5, yet BSmith was blocked, and I was accounted for N6, yet the Frenchman converted a player.

I am not a suspect for Frenchman.

I don't understand how you can use this defense and NOT vote to lynch andres here

[GeneralHankerchief]

Voting closed.

...can I get off the merry-go-round now?

[Zack]

damn it visor shower earlier

[Montmorency]

Zack, don't try to derail lynches in the last 10 minutes.

Andres will die, so long as you follow your orders.

[Zack]

Zack, don't try to derail lynches in the last 10 minutes.

Andres will die, so long as you follow your orders.

I am not your pet, stop trying to control my every move. You cannot plan out every single action every single person will take in every single phase, it will not work, the game is not played that way. I don't care about your perfect little plan you have mapped out for the rest of the game. I care about killing the french, and I apologize if that conflicts with your meticulously crafted, rigid schedule for how the game is supposed to play out.

Back off. I need some breathing room.

[Zack]

You need to talk with people. Explain your thought processes. Do not simply give commands and refuse to explain further, that's unacceptable. Stop avoiding questions and give some damn answers to them.

[Montmorency]

It's pretty simple.

We seem to agree that Andres is a good candidate for Frenchman now.

So we kill him.

That can happen through a vig, or through my administration.

I would prefer a vig.

BSmith, Ituralde, Andres, Golden, and my 3 - out. Who's left?

Csargo, Auto, Myrd, Double A (nominally) - and yourself. So do you want Andres dead or not?

[Zack]

Why not just blunderbuss or have the first mate get him? Why the insistence on an unreliable vig group

[Visor]

To ensure no chance for conversion.

People being in the writeup is very important at this stage.

[GeneralHankerchief]

Day 8

Anger at the continued situation and the perceived lack of progress aboard the Presence quickly turned to shock when Double A announced early on in the day that he was stepping down as Captain, effective immediately. The hopeful saw this as a chance to insert more active leadership aboard. The opportunistic saw this as a chance to increase their gold stashes a bit by gaining the position for themselves. The cynical were disappointed that Double A deprived them of a chance to mutiny and take his gold. Nonetheless, the voting went on, this time complicated by a new election for the Captaincy - the third in a week.

The election, unlike the previous ones, was not determined by who was going to be the most effective leader, or who handed out the most gold in bribes. Instead, it was determined by the person that the crew believed was least likely to be the Frenchman or in his pay. After some discussion and a minor challenge by BSmith, this person was determined to be Montmorency.

"Right then," said Montmorency, addressing the crew at sunset when his ascendancy had been confirmed. "We're going to be doing things a little differently aboard this time. I have, in my hands, a thoroughly crafted, 487-step plan entitled OPERATION BLENHEIM that, assuming proper implementation, is guaranteed to rid this good ship of all French influence once and for all! Now, let me carefully explain how this plan is to work. We are currently on step 6(f), which means that you, autolycus, are to take three steps to your left, while simultaneously Myrddraal is to take the helm in order to ensure that we stay on course. Now, as per Guideline R7, I need to be repeatedly jumping up and down while reading this next section..."

And Monty droned on and on, dcmort93 and Visorslash, who would be keeping their previous positions as First Mate and Quartermaster, respectively, took control of the proceedings, most notably reading the votes for execution. These had been splashed in a few different directions, most notably Golden1Knight and a very brief effort to take out Andres right before sunset, but at the end of the count Ituralde was in the clear lead.

"Oh come on!!!" Ituralde protested, upon hearing this. "I be giving a full account o' me actions time and time again! This is how I be repaid? First thrown in the brig, denied me treasure, and now being thrown off the ship? This be how you treat yer crewmen?"

"You can always appeal to the new Captain, if ye want," dcmort said, a smirk on his face. Ituralde looked up with the intent to do so, but Monty was now explaining the new dietary patterns the crew needed to follow if they were to stop the Frenchman. No luck there.

"Okay, now then, Step 23(j) requires Golden1Knight to close your eyes, turn around, walk four paces in a 45-degree angle to the left of his about-face, and then take his cutlass out and execute a wide diagonal slashing motion- Golden1Knight? Are you even paying attention? This is important!"

"Oh, uh, sorry boss. What be my instructions again?"

Sighing, Monty told him, and everybody watched as Golden closed his eyes, made an about-face, walked four paces in a 45-degree angle to the left of said turnaround, took his cutlass out, and executed a wide diagonal slashing motion... which caught Ituralde perfectly in the chest and had him staggering back in pain.

"What... but..." he murmured, and then toppled over the side of the ship from loss of blood. Everyone "ooh"ed and "ahh"d and starting applauding. Maybe this plan of Montmorency's would work out, after all.

Day 8 tally:
Ituralde: 6 (Montmorency, dcmort93, Golden1Knight, autolycus, BSmith, Visorslash)
Golden1Knight: 3 (Myrddraal, Csargo, Andres)
Csargo: 1 (Ituralde)
Double A: 1 (Double A)
Andres: 1 (Zack)

Captain election:
Montmorency: 6 (Visorslash, dcmort93, BSmith, Montmorency, Myrddraal, Golden1Knight)
BSmith: 3 (autolycus, Ituralde, Zack)
dcmort93: 1 (Double A)
Csargo: 1 (Csargo)
Andres: 1 (Andres)

It is now Night 8. Please send in your orders. Night 8 will conclude on Sunday, October 18th, at 11:00 US Eastern Time.

[BSmith]

@BSmith

can you confirm you were blocked?

Yes. I was blocked the night we tried to kill JHT.
