The Godfather, Part 3 [Concluded]

[Askthepizzaguy]

We can still discuss who is the most likely guilty party from the activity so far, the contributions so far, the voting patterns so far, and who else we think is likely chosen as a scumbag, if it turns out Lord Winter is truly scum.

Also, I doubt we will get unanimous consent from the town to use my idea, so, we will have people doing their own thing who we can suspect. I admit the idea isn't foolproof, but what I am saying is that I am willing to vote however way the dead suggest. I am curious to see who else would be, for various reasons.

Just posting the idea should generate discussion for you to dissect, and I will continue to be highly suspicious of the lurkers.

Day 4

Everyone was distracted while voting in the Gameroom Park, their attention focused on the large salt hut looming over them and the massive glare it created by reflecting the sun's bright light. Nevertheless, the monolith-like presence of the hut did not distract them from voting, which made the guy with the boombox, observing it all, very glad.

Voting from the start focused on two people: YLC, who seemed to be daring people to vote for him, and Sigurd, who apparently had this shifty look about him. Perhaps it was just the villagers of the Gameroom not being used to his scary black robes as opposed to his usual viking attire. Whatever the reason, Sigurd garnered a lot of votes.

At the end of the day, Chief of Police shlin28, who had been bathing in the pond for most of the day and being accompanied by three beautiful "aides" while doing so, exited the pond, had his "aides" dry him off, and then made his way over to the tally booth, where he read the votes and pointed over at Sigurd.

"You", he said, "get in the hut."

As Sigurd trudged over to the hut, muttering to himself that it was "too early to yell at people for being quiet", shlin skipped over to the forklift, climbing in and starting the engine.

"All right Sigurd," he yelled over the engine, "As previously described, I will now forklift this hut you're in and drop you in the pond. Now, eventually physics will take over and you will slowly be crushed by water and the dissolving salt. However, I am not a cruel overlor-er... Chief of Police," he said, catching himself. "If you manage to get out I will let you live another day... good luck with that, though."

shlin drove the forklift over to the hut, lifted it up, and dropped the whole thing in the pond. While all this was happening, Sigurd was thinking to himself.

"Wow," he said to himself, "I can't believe I have an out! If I can just get free of this hut, I'll live another day! Now, I can't simply swim downward and out, because I don't want to risk blacking out because of the increased pressure... I know! I'll lick my way through!"

And so, as shlin dropped the hut into the pond, Sigurd started licking like he never did before. For a while, it wasn't so bad. But eventually, his tongue got tired. And the salt mixing with water was not a very good combination. He fought through the pain, however, believing that anything was better than death.

As the salt hut around him gradually dissolved both to the natural solvent of the pond water as well as his licking, Sigurd felt a new kind of pain, one that wasn't physical so much as all throughout his body. Grimacing, gasping for air, Sigurd continued to fight. Despite everything, he was making significant progress. The town was all gathered around the pond, watching eagerly to see if he could pull it off.

Time passed. Sigurd, fighting through immense pain, continued licking. The salt hut was all but gone now.

"How much salt do you think he's consumed?" one person asked.

"Dunno, but it can't be healthy," another replied.

The conversation was quickly cut off as somebody gasped. The salt hut was gone. Sigurd was alive, surviving the pressure, and was beginning to swim to the edge of the pond! Sure, his strokes were slow and not really "flowy" at all... but still, he was about to survive a lynch! Despite this, shlin seemed unperturbed that his plan was being thwarted.

As Sigurd's hand reached the grass and gripped dry land, everybody cheered, forgetting that they had condemned him to die only a few hours earlier. The cheering only got louder as the second hand gripped dry land and as Sigurd pulled himself entirely out of the pond.

However, it was not to be. Sigurd stood up, staggered... and then collapsed, sliding back into the pond. This time there was no attempt to get out, and Sigurd floated, motionless, on the water's surface.

"High blood pressure from too much salt intake," shlin explained to the crowd, smirking. "I told him he would either die by physics or biology. He took the biology route. Good night, all."

No one cares about you attempts to prove your own innocence. That's not the job of a townie. Chill out and focus on finding mafia

Why did you post a green balloon?

Green balloons are pretty chill.

Green balloons are pretty chill.

Blue balloons are chillier

And a snowman even more

If you would have really wanted ATPG to chill, you would at least have posted a blue balloon. However, from an experienced player like you, I expected the snowman.

This clearly proves that you are scum and I think we should lynch you the next day.

Obviously, I am proven innocent now, because I detected a mafioso.

# Researchers have also found that green can improve reading ability. Some students may find that laying a transparent sheet of green paper over reading material increases reading speed and comprehension.

# Green has long been a symbol of fertility and was once the preferred color choice for wedding gowns in the 15th-century. Even today, green M & M's (an American chocolate candy) are said to send a sexual message.

# Green is often used in decorating for its calming effect. For example, guests waiting to appear on television programs often wait in a “green room” to relax.

# Green is thought to relieve stress and help heal. Those who have a green work environment experience fewer stomachaches.

# Blue can create feelings of sadness or aloofness.

# Blue is one of the most popular colors, but it is one of the least appetizing. Some weight loss plans even recommend eating your food off of a blue plate. Blue rarely occurs naturally in food aside from blueberries and some plums. Also, humans are geared to avoid foods that are poisonous and blue coloring in food is often a sign of spoilage or poison.

# Consider how blue is used in language: blue moon, blue Monday, blue blood, the blues, and blue ribbon.

This entire website is clearly fabricated beforehand as "proof" of your innocence.

I for one am not buying this fake website filled with lies.

Blue = cold. Cold = chillier.

Besides, you deliberatly ignored

[Sasaki Kojiro]

I like the analysis although I think you mark off too many people as townie for convenience sake. There are several who I think are capable--even if they showed scummy behavior in the other games you analyzed--of appearing townie up to this point. I'm also very familiar with the "I have it all figured out" epiphany (and have a tradition of pm'ing GH my later-revealed-to-be-ridiculous suspicions ), and it can often blind you to the truth.

I wouldn't put reenk in the guilty pile. He could be mafia for sure, but he always plays the game his own way as town or as mafia. Setting himself up as "defender of beefy" fits right in. I don't object to his lynch but it's something to keep in mind.

Tevash was someone I was going to take a look at come daytime.

Ignoramus always lurks and has been WoG'd countless times.

Oh, and shlin is someone I used to keep around to get lynched in the endgame when I was mafia

I'm pretty optimistic for this game, we have a huge number of lynch rounds if the mafia are indeed at one kill. Although something tells me none of the "suspects" will be killed anytime soon.

[Quintus.JC]

Looks like Lord Winter could of been one of the scums after all....

Vote: Tevash

[TinCow]

As far as I can tell, this write-up is original. Searches of the Org and TWC do not show anything that matches the above. I'm not going to attempt to do further writing style analysis, as the mafioso would surely be extraordinarily careful at this point, probably working with their Godfather as an 'editor.' I simply mention this as the decision to abandon the plagiarism is itself interesting, though I can't put any significance on it.

[Thermal]

look posts 291# - 303 for ATPG worringly similiar behavior as to this game by the way, if you want to look.

Tevash had tweaked me, but on reread there isn't much there. Given my thoughts on reenk already.

When Lord Winter was on the block, atpg made a huge case on Curio which was filled with poor logic and is now abandoned.

I think his game analysis is off. Don't agree with the conclusions.

It's interesting to consider him as a scumpartner with YLC. I can see them deciding that LW was a goner and lynching him--it's what I would do as mafia given that being dropped to one kill reveals (sort of) the guilt of the person last lynched. I don't like the way YLC went from what I would describe as having given up early yesterday to mafia-philosopher road when it appeared sigurd getting lynched was a real possibility. The timing of atpg's huge game analysis could be an effort to get suspicion away from YLC.

atpg says that YLC is "lynch later if necessary":

YLC 32 (ATPG townie judgment call) Lynch later if necessary.

Despite being sure he's townie:

YLC- He's being precisely the way he always is, and it always gets him killed. You underestimate him, seriously. I know he annoys you sometimes but he's more talented than you realize. And he might have helped kill a mafia, Lord Winter. Although he's really due to be mafia, he's lynchbait and therefore a poor choice for a grunt.

This doesn't match the decisiveness of the other analysis on players. YLC is listed in green while other players who he's going to recheck are in blue.

There are other people who could be mafia--and it's possible that only one of these guys is, but at this point no one else has done anything particularly suspicious and the link these two have with each and the circumstances of Lord Winters lynch makes them impossible to pass up.

Haven't decided which one to vote yet.

[LittleGrizzly]

Jumped on my write-up profile early and has held on for dear life, even after everyone else has moved on to other evidence. Also a decent pick for a grunt.

It wasn't just the write up... it was the response and retalitory vote and just a general gut feeling... if i had a better suspect i would happily vote for them...
