The Golden Rule [Concluded]

[Yoyoma1910]

Alright. I'm not sure what anyone's role is, or the game dynamic.



But I have a theory that the only way for us to win this game is if we do not lynch or kill each other at this point.


What's the use of having a tanker full of gold if there is none to help you pilot it, or help you move it in a way which won't get you caught?


I haven't been a part of any night action thus far, and from the write up, I don't think Woad actually was either. I think that was a bluff on his part. I'm pretty sure the syringe was 'Khaan the quack, and not polonium.


And unlike what Woad also said, I had voted for 'Khaan two rounds ago, when no one else would.

Maybe one of you are the killers, I don't know?

I want to win this, but I don't see how we can, if we're just going to go and kill each other off.




The Golden Rule is:

Do unto others, as you would have them do unto you.


Louis 7 Fingers, aka. moi, is going to follow that rule.

Wow, I didn't see that coming.

Okay, the game hasn't ended yet because there is still probably someone scummy within us.

Lets say we don't lynch someone and said scum kills one of us off. Then, its just down to 2 people and the scum wins automatically.

You, of course, probably knew that and that it is the sure way to have us lose. Now why would an innocent man want us to lose? Vote:Yoyoma

Whats the use of a tanker full of gold if you are dead already?

Do unto others, as you would have them do unto you.

Again, that is the one way for us to lose: don't lynch the scummy one left today.

As for the Golden Rule, I would perfectly love for everyone to not die, yet the traitors/FBI agents/whatever secret roles there may be still keeps on trying to kill us.

They're trying to kill us so they would like the same for us to do to them, which is lynching

Sorry, I must go, and was hoping everything would be done by now. You all had a chance to post, it's your own fault day isnt over yet!



Be nice and follow the rules until I get back. I want to not miss the next Scourge vote, so perhaps less than 48 hours from now?

Well, we are now at the cusp point.

Since there are three of us, the timing of the votes is now important. As things stand, I am currently the swing vote, with Yoyoma and Tevash both having already voted. However, it's not that simple since they did not vote for each other.

Yoyoma has voted no lynch, citing the classic Golden Rule in the writeup. Tevash, calling this strategy flawed, has voted Yoyoma. Now, Yoyoma may or may not change his vote, but in the meantime I am operating under the assumption that it stays on no lynch.

- If I vote for Yoyoma, he's all but gone. If we made the right choice, yay. If not... game over.
- If I vote for no lynch, that buys us more time, but maybe not. Depending on how ATPG works things, the town may handicap itself and fall victim to the mafia. OTOH, if Yoyoma's hunch is right, abiding by "the Golden Rule" could win us the game.
- If I vote for Tevash, then either we have a wacky three-way tie (in which case No Lynch might still win out) or Yoyoma shifts his vote and Tevash is lynched. Then, the possibilities of Scenario #1 are invoked.

I'm not sure if voting No Lynch is wise at this stage, everything in me screams that it's not. However, ATPG's final line seems extraordinarily significant. In the meantime, I also need to go back and check up on the overall behavior of Tevash and Yoyoma.

Considering we still have plenty of time, I'm going to withhold my vote for now. Today I concentrated on Ephesus. Tomorrow it will be on this game.

Honestly, TevashSzat, I think you're the mafia. I've thought that you might be a member of that group for awhile.

But I don't think you can win this.

I don't think anyone will win it if we try to kill each other. I believe what will likely happen if we try to kill each other is that the write up tomorrow will have us all dead, and the navy finding a ship full of gold floating in the ocean with no one manning it.

I believe the only way to win this, for us, is if none of us kill each other. It will take some trust, but I think it's the only way any of us will win.




Read the write ups from yesterday and last night. Look at how 'Khaan became a sick psychopath, look at how Woad was seeking redemption.


We need to lay down our guns, and do this together, mafia and town. I really believe it's the only way any of us are going to win.






I really believe this is the only way.

I do agree that the golden rule seems somewhat significant. However, I do not believe ATPG would pull such a joke, but then who knows....

With what evidence?

I really believe this is the only way.

I am still not convinced, but like GH, I will think about it later and may change my vote.

@ATPG

I would appreciate it if you didn't end the day after GH votes tomorow until I get on and finalize my decision, which should be around 15:00 Eastern Time for me.
