Seven Man Scrimmage 2: The Jester's Game [Concluded]

[Cultured Drizzt fan]

what makes you think he is a townie?

Because he has chosen to state that we will only win by lynching other townies.

Tone just seems in line with a townie. Just like your vote for yourself makes me wonder.

[Subotan]

I love the smell of burning townie in the morning. It smells like...victory.

Unvote; Vote: Renata

[Renata]

This is oddly disturbing.

[Sprig]

This is oddly disturbing.

Lynch the townie

[atheotes]

Look for weirdness in the vote results that can't be accounted for by claimed power roles; if that fails, worry about the claimed power roles; if there are no claimed power roles at any given time, analyze behavior and past votes.

It's weird because the safest thing to do if you're not a jester is to vote yourself.

Renata has not voted...not even for herself. And you guys have already decided she is a townie?

Hey committing suicide doesn't make you innocent.

Lets spread it out, though not massive beneficial to me.

unvote
vote: splitpersonality

[Centurion1]

VOTE FOR ME!!!!!!!!

i am the voteless townie. my vote means nothing. when he tallies up votes mine doesnt stand for anything. i know i have deceived some of you lately, in particular atpg. (yes it is one of my greatest accomplishments that i was the lie upon which was based an entire strategy).

so seriously vote me!!!!

im not lying in any way shape or form.

Vote: centurion1

it doesnt even mean annything at this point, and i think atheotes is a jester by voting for himself.

[Splitpersonality]

Hey guys, sorry for not posting so far, I had school.

I'm wondering if we can reveal... If we can I might just be a power role

[Renata]

Centurion's role claim is about the safest one a jester could make.

vote: Renata

[Beskar]

Obviously not atheotes, he is always the mafia and there are not Mafia in the game.

[atheotes]

this game is going to end in the first round

[Thermal]

unvote
vote: thermal mercury

Renata isn't going to put herself into this lead

[Renata]

No WAY, atheotes.

If you are that concerned about me, then you should have voted for Centurion1. You didn't do it.

CDF is reading townie to me right now. His argument about voting Thermal Mercury feels sincere to me. I'd vote him before anyone else save myself.

If TM is town and thinks I might be the jester, then his self-vote makes sense. If he's the jester, then with two votes on me he'd have put himself into an apparent tie, actual (barring power roles) second place. A slightly risky move, random.org notwithstanding.

[Thermal]

Jesters break ties I think, so well, ummm ,feel free to vote for me

It sounds like a shady request but if Renata is the Jester (she voted herself into the lead, which is suspicious) then I'll need another vote.

[Renata]

Actually I didn't realize I'd voted myself into the lead at the time I did it, though I obviously can't prove that. I hadn't noticed the vote on split was a vote change and thought I was putting the third vote on myself against Centurion's claimed 1 (possible 1.5), not the second. Not that it really matters; my aim was in any case the same.

You are wrong about the Jester's vote function, that's why I asked for clarification before the game started. The Jester is a negative tie-breaker, vote worth 1/2 rather than 1 full vote. If you believed that the Jester was a traditional tie-break and you believed I might be the jester, then why did you put the second vote on yourself without a request for more right then? Why only in a separate post some 45 minutes later?

[Thermal]

I put a vote on myself because I didn't think about the tie-breaker thing until I re-read over the rules it hadn't occurred to me. So it seems we've both made a few mix-ups.

I see it is negative, so I don't need more votes, good.

Here is an idea. What if we all simply voted for ourselves over and over again? A random TOWNIE gets lynched, but the jester stays alive.

[Subotan]

Or, Renata is the jester.

[Cultured Drizzt fan]

Or, Renata is the jester.

Are you willing to bet the entire game on that?

This is taken into consideration and there is at least one game mechanic that could obstruct it.

And it's boring as hell

ahhh. worth a shot.

[Renata]

Did you just try to break the game, CDF? Bad CDF. *smack*

Centurion would trump the jester in the not-getting-lynched sweepstakes if he's telling the truth; that might be the mechanism DE is referring to or it might be something(s) else, but I'm not betting the farm on it.

vote: CDF based on my impression from last phase.

[atheotes]

very good points from CDF and Renata... but i still think Renata is suspicious along with another person who i would like watch a bit more.
Vote: CDF... if you are the jester...you did well.

The thing is I am NOT the jester. It is a very bad Idea to lynch me for reasons I don't want too disclose.....

Unless you're not allowed to I think it would be a good idea to disclose, unless you're someone toxic to the town...

[Cultured Drizzt fan]

Ok, I am a 1 shot vigilante. I have one chance to kill the jester, but after that I am done.

I have a hunch that many people are "one shot" roles, as I am a one shot lynch stopper.


If I think we're lynching the jester, I'll throw my ability out there and stop him from being lynched, in a pinch... I could also use this to stop the lynch of a pro-town role, such as you CDF, or others...

[Renata]

unvote.

CDF -- claimed one-shot vig
split -- claimed one-shot lynch stopper
Centurion -- claimed nonvoter

Split, are you claiming you can stop any lynch?

[Cultured Drizzt fan]

Maybe Cent is the jester?
