A Bridge Zhou Far - Three Stars Rising [Concluded]

[Captain Blackadder]

What is my case?

To be honest not much. I am not happy with any of the choices on offer for today. The people I believe to be KMT or Japanese are on the other side of the river. However as Our glorious leader said we loyal communists must choose someone to die for today and I belive that Sigurd is a poor choice indeed of all the choices given to us I believe Jolt to be the best. Also to Renata why do you believe Comrade Miotas is possibly a traitor?

Hm. Interesting. Again: What is my case?

[Renata]

Okay, even though people are voting him anyway, I'm looking at miotas' posts. So far what I see is a pattern of someone who has a very difficult time making real accusations.

Day One, Beefy reveals role, Azathoth gets lynched. Contradiction in my notes here that I don't care to go back and clarify: he voted YLC in a sort of role-playing vote (against the chairman) and may have unvoted at some point (shows up as having no vote at end of day)
Day Two, Beefy gets mega-lynched. Comment-free vote for Beefy mid-bandwagon.
Day Three, shlin bits it in a close vote: miotas first casts suspicion on wide-eyed wanderer for a silly reason -- it says "wide-eyed" in the write-up -- then votes him a few posts later. YLC calls him on it and so does Double A slightly. Tentative YLC and miotas not on same mafia team.
Day Four, niklas gets bandwagoned on Psychonaut's word -- no vote
Day Five, Pinman bandwagoned, "reveals" -- no vote

I'm too tired to continue this with the votes on him already, but you can see the pattern -- and today he wants other people to tell him who's suspicious. It's not participation in general that he's having difficulty with -- he posts every day -- it's not contribution per se either -- he elected GH; he voted in the incident vote that came during that period and even went on to make his own, different proposal; he made a post suggesting JHT might be the hairy killer (but without voting him for it, on the day that Niklas was lynched). It's actually voting for suspicious people that he has trouble with. The two times he suggests halfway real suspicion against someone (WEW and JHT), his vote is either delayed or does not come at all. His other votes are either role-playing (YLC), comment-free (Beefy round two), or non-existent. It's classic vote-paralysis.

Deadline reached, commencing write-up.

PEXDET was approaching the Wenti Bridge, albeit slowly. Bizzarely, the day had been twice as long as normal, and although some of the Communists tried to attribute this to not lynching a player before the set time, the Chairman dismissed this as fanciful nonsense. Although at first it appeared certain that Jolt would be lynched, with he himself voting for his own lynch, but the validity of the lynch was questioned. No-one could actually explain why Jolt was to be lynched, so, for lack of a better candidate, they turned on miotas. miotas expressed puzzlement at the decision to lynch him, sealed by Joooray, but he did not protest much.

"Do you have anything to say for yourself, or will you act like the others?" shouted the Chairman in miotas' face.

"No, I have nothing to say. Just kill me and be down with it" muttered miotas gloomily

GeneralHankerchief shrugged, and signalled for Yaseikhaan to pick miotas up by the scruff of his neck, and he duly did so. With a short toss of his wrist, he dropped miotas over the edge, into the foaming water a hundred feet below.


"Good, I like it when there's no weird behaviour." the Chairman said cheerily "The weird ones always freak me out... . But speaking about previous members of our detachment, I would like to inform you all that Secura was in fact a loyal Communist. OK sure, she was susceptible to the Imperial Japanese Army, buuuut, she never defected to their side whilst alive. So yeah... "

[GeneralHankerchief]

Gah, sorry miotas. But at least we didn't lynch Jolt, he's completely clean.

[miotas]

Aw, that sucks. At least it was me rather than someone important. On the bright side, now I can read the north side

[Joooray]

Sorry I sealed your fate, but I guess its better this way than to take a chance with a random lynch.

[Secura]

I would like to inform you all that Secura was in fact a loyal Communist. OK sure, she was susceptible to the Imperial Japanese Army, buuuut, she never defected to their side whilst alive.

And there we have it... the big reveal that I was, in fact, a bog-standard Comrade; isn't it great when the town start doing the mafia's jobs for them?

[Renata]

You mean like you encouraging a revolt along with known-mafia Pinman, suspect Romanic and suspect YLC? :p We all get things wrong, so be it.

[Joooray]

I'm sorry you got killed, Sec, but errors occur. I find it actually pretty astonishing we are not seeing the same level of vigilante-violence that Capo, Pirate Ship and Shadow Fort had.

[Secura]

You mean like you encouraging a revolt along with known-mafia Pinman, suspect Romanic and suspect YLC?

I was actually dead when I finally voiced my concerns about our current leadership and encouraged a revolt.
