The Scourge of Ephesus [Concluded]

[Askthepizzaguy]

If GH couldn't block us then it must be Lord Winter who is guilty. Easiest thing is to lynch both me and Lord Winter then.

Vote: Lord Winter

Uh, I dont think this host does double lynches.

And we should block a couple of people. You pick.... I don't want to even open my mouth after Chicago.


Edit: Stupido, me

[ULC]

A bit of info on our daemonic friend - it did not take long at all to find him.

Lix Tetrax is the demon of the wind, in the Testament of Solomon. Lix is a Greek term relating to the earth, while Tetrax refers to a four-season year. The name has been identified with the Ephesian name connected to the wind found on a tablet from Crete. It is the Howling Whirlwind Demon born of the Great One — causes fever and burning, but if it feels kindly toward you, will refresh you with cool breezes and lead you to refuge.

So Reenk, please feel kindly towards us .

Or is it GH?

Hmmm....

[Askthepizzaguy]

I trust you guys can finish this one without me. Get the final scumbags...

Make me a happy pizzaguy once more. Please...




Goes on a long dirt nap...

[Sigurd]

I am still sceptical to the Ibn case. You need to find the .44 shooter and lynch him.

[ULC]

Just because you are a a great daemonic spirit, does not mean you are inscrutable Reenk, so stop it .

[ULC]

I am still sceptical to the Ibn case. You need to find the .44 shooter and lynch him.

Please kindly wait until my analysis for the lynches is done to reserve your judgment Sigurd - I also have a Large game to start, a small game to do the day write up for, a diplomacy game to check on, a LotR PvP battle and story to do, a late AAR that needs done, My CA account to maintain, and an RP at another site to finish up. This does not include work and college, as well as doing the things such as getting my exercise, eating, cleaning the dishes, doing laundry, balancing my account, and helping finish the house I have moved into.

Whats your excuse for inactivity

Consistency with other games... or the fact I was lynched.

[TinCow]

Ibn has a role of some sort (as demonstrated by him faking a townie role PM) and doesn't seem inclined to convince us it's a pro-town role. I agree he can't be the .44 killer because he appears to have been blocked after GH was, ah, talked to. However, that still leaves the supernatural thing and Isabelle. The supernatural thing (hereinafter ST) might be neutral or pro-town, but Isabelle is definitely not.

Time for another summary of who can be what, assuming (*cough*) that GH is legit.

GeneralHankerchief - The Guide and cannot be ST, as he was 'attacked' by it on N9.

Glyphz - Cannot be ST or .44 Magnum killer, as he was blocked by GH on N7, when both appeared.

Seamus Fermanagh - Cannot be ST or .44 Magnum killer, as he was blocked by GH on N7, when both appeared.

Lord Winter - Cannot be .44 Magnum killer, as was blocked by GH on N9. Could be ST, as the nature of the N9 write-up and GH's PM from Andres make it plausible that the ST could have talked to GH despite being one of the blocked.

Ibn-Khaldun - Cannot be .44 Magnum killer, as was blocked by GH on N9. Could be ST, as the nature of the N9 write-up and GH's PM from Andres make it plausible that the ST could have talked to GH despite being one of the blocked.

boudica - Can be ST or .44 Magnum killer.

YLC - Can be ST or .44 Magnum killer.

So, our only options for the .44 are boudica and YLC.

Now, there is some other evidence to point towards. On Night 5, we had another one of these 'Mexican Standoffs'. Unlike the other one, the Night 5 write-up doesn't talk about a .44 Magnum. However, if we assume it was the same person, then that clears boudica of being the .44 Magnum killer, as she was blocked by GH that night. So, if you want to go with that assumption, by process of elimination YLC must be the .44 Magnum killer.

[GeneralHankerchief]

I still submit that my night actions were nullified tonight because of the ST paying me a visit. Witness the whole "hurry" thing, as similar to the night where I failed to block ATPG.

-edit- IK is definitely scum and should be lynched immediately. The next night I'll just block YLC and we can get him then.

[ULC]

If you guys lynch me, then good for you! I go happily to whatever death awaits me! Wheeeeeee!

Alright.. I can live with that strategy.

[ULC]

What the heck is the ST?

[GeneralHankerchief]

As we've now coined him, "Supernatural thing".

[Reenk Roink]

That should be by new custom user title.

Also congrats on the Assistant Moderator thing GH.

[ULC]

The "supernatural thing" is Lix Tetrax, if you bothered to pay attention to what I post.

[Sigurd]

That should be by new custom user title.

You know whom to not visit next, right Reenk? Let the old man do his job.

[GeneralHankerchief]

I was just about to post that, thanks.

GH is Mafia

[GeneralHankerchief]

Seven remain. Taking me out of the equation, there are six:

Glyphz
Seamus Fermanagh
Lord Winter
Ibn-Khaldun
boudica
YLC

Out of the six, I trust Seamus and glyphz totally. They should not be on anyone's lynch list. Before tonight I was a little concerned about Seamus, but now, considering ST's intentions are most likely pro-town, he's back to my 100% trust level. This leaves us with four:

Lord Winter
Ibn-Khaldun
boudica
YLC

I am pressing hard for an Ibn-Khaldun lynch today, with the intent of blocking two of the other three left at night. At first I was thinking of YLC and Lord Winter, although boudica's victory in Chicago Soiree has served as a wake-up call. She is perfectly capable of being mafia.

Eventually I will make my decision on who to block and publicly post it in the thread early on in the night phase. I implore Supernatural thing to perform its action on the one person I leave out. Working at cross-purposes skews my data and is detrimental to the town. Assuming ST functions as a roleblocker, we could essentially nullify any and all anti-town night actions.

[Seamus Fermanagh]

Vote: Boudica

Your participation is lacking, especially as we enter the final stages. Your participation in Chicago is, to date, somewhat of an excuse.

How do YOU explain the demon's call for us to take out the femme?

How do YOU explain your continuing lurker approach here. In Chicago you were voting at least...

[glyphz]

Based on the past night write-ups, it does look like YLC has the highest likelihood of being the magnum killer, who was targeted by mafia back in N7.
However, the bigger issue is Ibn-Khaldun's obvious attempt to fake/tamper his rolePM. There is simply no way the sender's name be misspelled. Ibn-K is obviously hiding something, and better deserving of my vote.

Thus, Vote: Ibn-Khaldun

Besides, we should stick to a plan revolving around GH's ability. I suggest town to follow suit.

edit: Based on the past weekends, it's likely participation will be less, unfortunately

Tally:

Ibn-Khaldun: 2 (GeneralHankerchief, glyphz)
Lord Winter: 1 (Ibn-Khaldun)
boudica: 1 (Seamus Fermanagh)

[GeneralHankerchief]

Actually, I have a better idea. We'll let the mafia do our work for us.

I'll block Seamus and glyphz, leaving only potential scum as the mafia's targets.

What do you guys think of this instead?

Never mind, forgot this strategy leaves me potentially vulnerable to attack. Better if we just eliminate any chance of any night-kills.

[ULC]

I would be against it - we are leaving ourselves to open if we do as you suggest above. Second, keep your strategy to yourself - talking about it at all might give the mafia a clue about what to do during the night.

[Beefy187]

Thank you town for not lynching me. GH is gone too, but we now have a chance. Let us not repeat the mistakes of Chicago.

After you lynch me and there still be a night phase then I will laugh at you. You blame me only because I spelled Andres' name wrongly because of writing too fast. This case against me is even worse than the one made against TC!

And just like I said - I only did a simple copy-paste of that PM and not doing reply>copy-pase. That's why I misspelled his name. But no one haven't explained that 'Ehpesus'. All townies should have got it. If I would've got another role and this 'Townie' PM would've been just an add-on then Andres most likely would've wrote it right.

Anyway.. this thing is getting me a headache and I only come back when this lynch is over and the game still continues.

Please, trust me when I say that I am not mafia. Is that too much to ask?

[shlin28]

Yeah about the townie PM... I looked at my PM from ages ago, and it says Ehpesus!

Methinks Ibn may not be so guilty after all...

[Ibn-Khaldun]

White eyes .. but can you explain why that 'pm' you posted have the same spelling error of Andrres just like in that pm I posted? I think you just did a quick copy-paste just to make me look more guilty. If there is a Townie pm posted before then could you give us a link to it??

And thanks shlin28 for confirming that.

I can only apologise for lack of contribution - I'd say my posting in both games have been roughly equal. The other game i was in (until some snake shot me in the gut) was 'You can't win' - given an unexpected RL schedule and clear understanding now that 3 simultaneous games of mafia is too much - you have your 'excuse'.

I'd say the 'demon's call is indeed a hope of ending this madness by lynching Isabelle. I am not Isabelle.

Thanking my fellow townies for their diligent investigation, I'd be happy to add my vote to either Ibn K or YLC this turn, but the magnum evidence seems more important to me than some fake pm mix-up. I'll vote: YLC


tally:
Ibn-Khaldun: 2 (GeneralHankerchief, glyphz)
