And yet, I just want to lynch weemad because of his attitude.

I get the feeling weemad mightbend up being like Blarg and even Darryl himself. Every game people call for policy lynches when they generally are the best players to keep, just because their playstyles, when town, help far more then hurt.


Then watch weemad be scum and this post was all for naught.

 

[Darryl]

any miller or sleepwalker claims?

i'm the cop

For some fun. Me taking the first #gambit and being public about being the cop, my first attempt to discourage PR-based night kills. Making sure no one claims Miller later on, too.

Unfortunately, after that everyone kept reading me as town and I got worried I would be a lynch for being active and helpful. Time flies, what a world

 

[weemadarthur]

Don't tempt me to go full Blarg. You think I don't have the capability?

 

[Trigger]

There's no option but to lynch Darryl today. If he turns out scum, we need to examine his actions. The biggest question on my mind is: why did he "save" Seath? Is Seath actually Tinkerbell? We're going to have to look really hard at Seath if Darryl turns out to be scum.

I don't think Seath is a great lead. It's been stated before, but if scum has a name cop they could easily just have used Seath (or anything other townie) to set themselves up as cops. His behavior has been a little strange, but I don't doubt his claim of being town aligned now. Suspecting Seath could just be a scum trap.

 

[Freakinchair]

I need a quick reference card or something -

Darryl = SnowWhite/Huntsman and is Name Cop?
Seath = Tinkerbell and has no power?
Terrabyte + Septimus = Lovers (Anna/Elsa) and have a kill power?
AbsolutBro = Villager (Wendy) and has no power?
TheExodu5 = Ariel (Bullet Sponge?)
weemad = Tiana? Power = ??

Am I missing anything?

Why the tunnelling on Darryl when we lynched scum yesterday. Lots of voting patterns to glean from that.

 

[Terrabyte20xx]

Because he's scum?

Or did you actually mean what are we turboing?

Because he's scum.

 

[Fireblend]

I dunno why, but I have the nagging feeling Darryl's going to flip town. Then again I may just suck at reading him.

That said:

I got a message today stating that I sleptwalked, too.

I got a similar message after night 1. I guess this is as good a time as any to mention it, so I'm inclined to believe this part of Darryl's story. I don't think it changes anything though; he may just be sharing the information so someone will trust the rest of what he's saying.

 

[weemadarthur]

You're right.

I'm not experienced enough to analyze voting patterns.

Could you oblige with some reads? Terrabyte offered a list of bolded names to start with.

 

[Terrabyte20xx]

I dunno why, but I have the nagging feeling Darryl's going to flip town. Then again I may just suck at reading him.

I'm getting that too, but I feel it's because we haven't killed him yet. That's why I was saying this is a good strategy. To paraphrase what one of my good scum buddies from woof 2: "keep fighting, if you stay alive long enough, town will talk themselves out of lynching you.

So NOW do you see why I am advocating a turbo?

 

[Septimus Prime]

Ironically, we scum lost the game doing that in the very end, though. That was fun.

But in either case, that doesn't negate that that's a scum strategy.

 

[Trigger]

Sleepwalking is a mechanic that I could see existing. Sleeping Beauty is a classic Disney movie. No doubt one of the mafia members is the Evil Queen. I'm not too sure how that helps mafia though.

 

[Darryl]

At this point with the amount of votes and talk about me going on, my lynch has reached inevitability status and my own desire to see myself flip has taken front seat to survival. It's probably more distracting if I live too.

Someone needs to come up with evidence for me if we want to keep this act going

 

[Unmasked Ferret]

Basically the 4 non-CM votes on me, and Ferret who stayed voting for Freakinchair even as we had a three way tie towards the end of the day.

Sorry about this guys, after I made that last post I headed home ( I actually made that vote at a red light just outside of school) and it takes me about 40 minutes to get home from there. I planned on pulling over once I was off the highway so I could be around for the last 10 minutes, but it didn't really work out because of the lunch rush traffic.

Barry do you still want me to answer that question from Friday or is it irrelevant now?

I need a quick reference card or something -

Darryl = SnowWhite/Huntsman and is Name Cop?
Seath = Tinkerbell and has no power?
Terrabyte + Septimus = Lovers (Anna/Elsa) and have a kill power?
AbsolutBro = Villager (Wendy) and has no power?
TheExodu5 = Ariel (Bullet Sponge?)
weemad = Tiana? Power = ??

Am I missing anything?

Ultron claimed Giselle and Enker claimed to be a lion or something.

I'll be back later.

 

[weemadarthur]

You left a vote on AB despite Darryl retracting his Wendy claim. Got a comment?

 

[Enker]

I don't consider Enker town enough to be able to corroborate exodus' role claim. I have personal reasons for not believing exodus' role claim.

To be fair, the only way to me to prove the alleged perma-commuter would be to continually visit him. I merely proved that I got a response for someone that wasn’t him, so his story of being un-targetable seems true for at least N1. What his actual role is, I have no idea.

I am not a fan of you or Exodus seemingly knowing you’ve been targeted somehow, but last night took him off my radar somewhat.

 

[weemadarthur]

Enker, since you're here....what do you think of Terrabyte's short list from last vote?

 

[weemadarthur]

I mean, at the end of the day I'm still voting for Darryl, but I'm just entertaining thoughts of "what if". Because nothing in this game has gone normally so far.

At least you didn't wait.

VOTE: Christina Mackenzie[/highligh]

Seeing no changes to the vote counts of AB and Darryl is interesting.

But since we're approaching one hour left and I may not be around at the end (plus I don't see any other bandwagons taking off), I'm going to change my vote to AbsolutBro. If it comes down to him or Darryl, I'd rather see AB lynched for now.

VOTE: AbsolutBro[/highligh]

This vote pattern, for instance, is pretty darned interesting.

VOTE: Lone_Prodigy

 

[Lone_Prodigy]

What's interesting about it? I wasn't around for the CM bandwagon so left my vote on one of the two frontrunners.

[Unmasked Ferret]

If we're talking other leads:

Bold would be as good a place to start as any.

There's a lot of bold so where do you specifically think we should start? What stands out the most to you?

Well we did just have octopus last evening.

Really though anything in particular lead to this?

 

[Lone_Prodigy]

Barry and Fire broke the tie yesterday. Ultron tried to take the lynch bomb.

Scum wouldn't bus such a close vote.

You never acknowledged the fact that Darryl recanted. He was your early choice, apparently, but you didn't vote for the one who proved to be mafia, or the self admitted liar. What exactly did AB do that was more suspicious in your eyes? You haven't offered any reasoning the whole game...just fluff.

I think it's possible to bold votes, but the bold tags have to be outside the highlight tags so this is correct:

[B ][HIGHLIGHT ]VOTE: Ty4on[/B]

And this is wrong:

[HIGHLIGHT ][B ]VOTE: Ty4on[/B]

Flush could correct me if I'm wrong, but I think I remember him saying that in an earlier game.
In the last example the vote tool will think the person I'm voting for is "Ty4on[/B]".

[TheExodu5]

Somethings bugging me.

Weemadarthur nonchalantly says he was targeted night 1, but with no further explanation.

1) why would he be targeted when he was under a fair bit of suspicion day 1?
2) what kind of role protects you from dying and notified you that you were targeted?
3) why divulge this information at this point? The only reason I can tell is to discredit my commuter claim.

 

[TheExodu5]

If scum can't kill me at night, it makes sense that they'd target me during the day. And I believe that is what weemadarthur is doing at this point.

We should lynch Darryl today, but I believe weemadarthur is scum. He's painting himself as town by going up against Darryl. Besides that, his theories have been all over the map and have served nothing more than to confuse town.

The only scenario in which Darryl flips town and weemad is scum is if the scum team had a switcher, correctly guessed Darryl would look into weemad and switched him with the actual Tania. If so, they hit jackpot because it's going to be hard to prove.

It's ridiculously unlikely but is an alternative I'm willing to entertain due to how weemad's been playing. At least it's not as unlikely as the recruiting narrative wee's been trying to push.

Darryl, could your sleepwalking have caused the "get name" action to redirect or something? Or are you convinced weemad's playing some crazy gambit right now?

 

[Trigger]

Well, he'd be notified if he had some form of limited night kill immunity and used up his shot. It's an easy lie to make, I suppose. It's not impossible. Only scum could answer the first question and only he can answer the last one.

 

[Zatoth]

Okay, so as soon as night hit, I looked back at Darryl's posts, and he's definitely scum!

His Wendy claim was the he knew Seath was Tinkerbell, and that he felt it was too similar to Sept and my Lover roles, that combined with my vig ability seemed like too much to swallow. He then votes Septimus. Just one slight problem:

His cop claim completely contradicts that stance. Without that "one sided relationship" he vote on sept is empty, and a ploy. Combine this with the facts that Christina was scum, never voted Darryl (or vice versa I might add), and that he had the ability to "discover the name of another player" I think this is pretty cut and dry.

VOTE: Darryl

TL;DR: Darryl is scum, let's turbo this schmuck before he tries to talk himself out of being killed... AGAIN!

So how come there was no death last night?

I will confirm that we made no night action on our end.

So Terrabyte is sure that Darryl is scum, but for some reason you guys decide not kill him during the night? Yeah... not buying that.

 

[Zatoth]

As for Darryl. His story sounds even more desperate than my own cop claim in the first game.

He'd had no problem to sacrifice Ultron after his Wendy claim. Last minute role claim and some of you believe him? Really?

Hope no one already claimed Doctor should you decide to lynch me. I sure as hell will claim it in that case.

 

[TheExodu5]

So Terrabyte is sure that Darryl is scum, but for some reason you guys decide not kill him during the night? Yeah... not buying that.

1) They are lying
2) Their kill was a one-shot
3) Their kill has limited shots
4) They abstained from killing last night

I'm going with 2) as the most likely scenario.

 

[weemadarthur]

First point: right back atcha, scum. It hurts to have no kill yet I guess. Town can lynch me day four, but they have better lynch everyone trying to get rid of me by day kill, once I flip town.

Second point: game started post 94. I've been after Darryl since post 129. You think that's the gambit planned by a multi player scum team, before the game really even started? Immediately bus the experienced player in order to verify the noob? I guess I can't prove that's not what is happening while I'm still alive.
A confused town which follows nobody is way better than a town which blindly believes scum. At least players may need to justify their choices inside their own heads.

 

[ultron87]

Darryl, could your sleepwalking have caused the "get name" action to redirect or something? Or are you convinced weemad's playing some crazy gambit right now?

Interesting idea. Sleep Walking could be a role block variation where it randomizes your target instead of blocking you entirely.

 

[weemadarthur]

Did Mazre and StackpoleH get a chance to put a word in during day three?

Do people agree that ending early is acceptable? I'll switch my vote to Darryl if it seems like the day has run its course.

 

[Zatoth]

Do people agree that ending early is acceptable? I'll switch my vote to Darryl if it seems like the day has run its course.

The day has run its course? After not even 24h?

I am against ending the day early this early in the game.

 

[ultron87]

On re-reading CM's posts and how he went to bat against AbsolutBro to save Darryl I'm more and more fine with a Darryl lynch.

I do think there's some good stuff to get from those posts, so I definitely don't want to end the day till we can all have a nice look over it.

 

[weemadarthur]

The day has run its course? After not even 24h?

It's like déjà vu all over again. I said that very same thing yesterday.

But it's been hard to get discussion going that doesn't relate to Darryl. Perhaps you have comments on the various topics I've brought up?

 

[Fireblend]

Under no circumstance should we turbo (if anything because I like the schedule as it is, keeps my weekends free).

I went to re-read your post history. You made a big case against Darryl in post 308. I definitely think that earns you some trust, so I'll leave it be for now. It's not unusual for scum to go against other scum, but maybe not in such a strong way as you did. If Darryl flips scum, I'll give you a pass.

 

[TheExodu5]

Not ending the day is good and all, but we've pretty much committed to lynching Darryl, and I don't think anything should change that. As a result, I feel like prolonging the day is bad for town, as more townies might feel the need to role-claim. I don't see what more useful information we can get today.

 

[Fireblend]

Eh. It's not like I have the final word, there's nothing I can do to stop a turbo. I just don't like it, though I definitely see what you're saying about giving scum more info.

Not everyone has posted yet. Mazre for example (I think).

At least give everyone time to post before you end a day.
