The Trouble in Waiting [Concluded]

[Pinman]

Civplayah does not seem to scummy to me. I just read through the 5 pages, and I would say pinman seems the most scummy atm, with his switching vote this round. Also Pizza, but for now
Vote: Pinman

-Trying to catch mafia-

[Renata]

Vote: Renata

You accusation on me was an excellent deflection.

Deflection from what?

I know EXACTLY why AtPG is voting me. Superficially sensible, but wrong, Pizza.

[Renata]

On what grounds am I behaving scummily? Lurking? Check every game I've played, I'm never very vocal.

It could be the bandwagoning. Or the voting me fourth on said bandwagon with a clearly handwaved "for scummy behavior". Can you specify said scummy behavior?

Oh?

You seem to have developed psychic powers all of a sudden. Please, tell me why I am voting for you.

[Renata]

Oh?

Because of Diana. We had a conversation once about you always knowing if she's mafia or not. When she turned up dead and I saw your vote, that jumped into my head. It makes sense that I might kill her because of that if I were mafia.

Not just that. Killing Split and Diana removes two key people who would be unlikely to lynch me right away. It's quite ingenious actually... which makes me a whole lot easier to lynch.

So I look through the list of players I find most likely to try that kind of strategy, and the names come up: Renata, Beskar, and a couple others.

Essentially, you're correct. But the choice to kill Diana instead of me smacks of knowing to leave me alive as lynchbait, and again that leads to Renata and Beskar, imo.

[Romanic]

Oh, lynch Beskar already!

[Askthepizzaguy]

Oh, lynch Beskar already!

As you wish.

Unvote, vote: Beskar

However, I still say Renata is scummy for the same reasons.

[johnhughthom]

Oh, lynch Beskar already!

There's an echo in The Gameroom...

[Beskar]

Essentially, you're correct. But the choice to kill Diana instead of me smacks of knowing to leave me alive as lynchbait, and again that leads to Renata and Beskar, imo.

Wrong.

I prefer Diana to you, I would have killed you first and I definitely would never kill Diana to get at you.

[Askthepizzaguy]

Wrong.

I prefer Diana to you, I would have killed you first and I definitely would never kill Diana to get at you.

You have a history of saying things that you'd never do as mafia, while doing them.

[Renata]

I was just about to post that I never make it a practice to say I'd never do something.

vote: landlubber Civplayah's getting crap for lurking, but landlubber's worse. He hasn't posted since his vote on Pinman yesterday that came without any actual rationale.

[Beskar]

You have a history of saying things that you'd never do as mafia, while doing them.

When?

I know I said "I don't do that as a mafia", I get lynched or night killed, and I go "told you so".

[Beskar]

unvote; vote: Beskar

So mafia don't use me as a lynch target constantly, and I have to battle the hordes of bad arguments which will end up with us losing the game, because they cannot accept I am not guilty.

Chillax man, it is a vanilla game with a small number of people. It's not a personal slight when people vote for you... and I really don't know what kind of case you're expecting. I seriously do not. There's not like a detective is about to reveal stuff.

Well, if you really suspect me. Kill me now. Helps the town later.

I apologize, I've been a little busy lately.
Beskar's vote for himself seems very odd, especially in a vanilla game. So, I will Vote:Beskar.

[woad&fangs]

Vote: Beskar

1) Because I am still stuck on the idea that him and ArpeggiateTHIS were/are the mafia
2) For the reasons stated by Pizza against Beskar and Renata
3) For the self vote

[seireikhaan]

Ok, round is over. However, I am beat and need some z's. You can send orders to me starting now, but the writeup won't be posted for a few hours at least.

[seireikhaan]

It seemed two more disappearances had sapped the energy out of the group. Just about everyone got their bit into the discussion, but to describe it as "lively" would not exactly be accurate. When we were close to finishing up, it seemed that Beskar would be turned over to Jannette. Yet, unlike the others before him, he needn't be shoved up. The demented fellow practically sprinted to the front to be executed. "Beskar, reporting for duty!" he proclaimed.

"Alrighty then, ready?" Jannette asked.

"You bet, miss!" he beamed back. I manage to curtail my shock at the whole situation to a raised eyebrow. Jannette held her right hand out, open palmed. A large, blue, rifle lookin' thing materialized in her hand. She flipped it, cradled her other hand under the barrel while her main hand squeezed the trigger. A dark blue beam shot out, maybe a centimeter wide, straight into Beskar's forehead. The beam passed through completely, hit the marble wall, and continued undeterred to who knows where. With Beskar laying on the floor, Jannette chirped her customary goodbye as we were ushered back to our quarters for what seemed likely to be another night of madness.

Civplayah's getting crap for lurking

You've played with me a long time. You know that I'm never very vocal. But that doesn't mean that I'm not active. I do think a lot about possible mafioso and run scenarios in my head, I just don't post them publicly, or most often than not, I don't share my suspicions with anyone. But I don't usually post more than 1 or two times a phase.

[seireikhaan]

My apologies, but I'm going to have to delay the writeup until tomorrow morning.

[seireikhaan]

So truly, the end of the world was nigh. Those who had been deceased were dying once more. Secura wondered where they all truly were. Was this actually hell they were in? It made sense... hell as a facade of something else, only to be revealed in misery. Well, either way, wasn't much she could do about it now but wait, and do whatever possible if attacked. Upon finishing this thought, there was a pop, and someone materialized in front of her, with a knife in their right hand. Secura immediately startled up, and delivered a roundhouse kick in front of her. Another pop, and the person was gone. A harsh pain exploded in her right side. The intruder was now behind her, knife embedded in, tearing it across her back, up to her left shoulder. Another pop signaled the intruder's retreat. Secura collapsed, praying for whatever fate awaited her.


The finishing touches were just about done. "Its a good thing I was given all this time to prepare," Pinman thought to himself. A bright banner hung from the ceiling of his quarters, bidding welcome. Confetti lay strewn across the room, and streamers hung from the few possessions. Pinman figured that if he threw out the welcome wagon, if you will, that whoever was making people disappear might decide it better to have a cup of tea or coffee instead of slaying him. And, doesn't everyone wish to be welcomed? Even if they are murdering psychopaths, surely they'll appreciate a warm welcome. As if on cue, someone materialized in front of Pinman. They appeared a bit taken aback at first, and then more so when pinman pulled a string which triggered even more confetti to rain down upon the room. "Greetings, friend, welcome to my humble abode. Would you care for some coffee? Or perhaps tea?" the intruder roared at Pinman, rushing forward and ramming a knife into Pinman's chest and pinning him to a wall.

"I hate confetti," the intruder snarled. They let Pinman down, and, with a pop, were gone. Pinman was visibly in shock. Who could possibly hate confetti....?




Back to the grind, it seemed. My task of helping these folks figure out who was responsible seemed to be going really poorly. Two more disappeared last night. Jannette, of course, was having none of my somber mood, but I brushed off her chipper mood with a wave of my hand before I turned to the remaining assembled before me. "Its even more dire than before, people. We haven't got long. Please, please, we must apprehend whoever's responsible now! Come on!"

DAY FOUR HAS BEGUN! YOU HAVE 24 HOURS!

[Pinman]

It is my strong opinion that one of either Renata or Pizza should be lynched. Probably Pizza.

[woad&fangs]

Care to elaborate?

[Askthepizzaguy]

It is my strong opinion that one of either Renata or Pizza should be lynched. Probably Pizza.

If, for example:

Askthepizzaguy- lynch
CaptainBlackadder- murder
Civplayah- murder
Death is Yonder- lynch
God Emperor- murder
Landlubber- murder
Renata
woad&fang


Only 2 lynches remain. I am an incorrect lynch. But I agree on Renata.

If you're a townie, lynching me loses the game, woad, so reverse course.

If you're a mafia, lynching me wins you the game, and you're the better lynch of the two of us.

[woad&fangs]

This assumes that you are innocent. If you are mafia, then all you have to do is control the course of the discussion today and you win. I know that you are more than capable of doing this and there is a confirmed innocent claiming that you (or Renata) are likely behind the killings.

Yes, so of course you choose incorrectly. But at least the dead guy told you to do it.

I don't buy it, scum.

edit:
Waiting for some dead, confirmed innocent to suggest an incorrect lynch, at this stage of the game, is the most common (and most effective) way of getting another failed lynch and a victory for mafia.

What you just did is hugely scummy. I've been waiting for you to make a mistake, and this is it, woadsy.
