Hey Kark, I may have missed it, but did you add any time for those few hours GAF was down on Monday?

Oh? I didn't notice any downtime, so the thought didn't enter my mind. We'll still carry this one out to the expected ending time, though.


If anyone thinks the days should start/end around a different time of the day, feel free to let me know via PM. I would like people to be the most available around the time a day phase ends.

I've outlined why I think nin1000 is particularly suspect and I don't have anything to back up that last part other than a gut feeling; I'll accept being wrong if I'm wrong.
You are mate , you are :D if it comes that far of me being evicted you will see that i was town alligned and i just Drew suspicion on myself by playing Bad. Guess its time for the Rest of the folks to decide.

So I'm out? Well, best of luck guys!

Elected by the people. Voted out by the people. Democracy at play. :)

Yeah, sorry dude, I feared that HHA might sneak 2 votes at the last moment to force a tie, even with the excuse of not thinking hobo was bad and making it look like an accident.

Also, look at the bright side, you are a hobo for real now.

Today, the Village was rocked by a player with twice as much power as normal, crushing them with the weight of his iron vote.

How did someone so influential end up in our Village to begin with?

Nobody seems to remember when they even arrived; it's almost as if they've been here forever.

They ran him out of town, that poor old man....

HippieHobo, The Mayor, is gone for good

Welcome!

You are the Mayor!

You are aligned with the Town. You win when only Town-aligned players remain.

Somehow, nobody recognized you, or noticed you are supposed to be in charge here, Mayor! Maybe you don’t quite have the same pull that you used to in this Village...but you can still pull a string or two.

During the Day Phase, you have the option of making your vote count twice. You can enact this by using the command DOUBLEVOTE: <player> in the game thread (instead of the standard VOTE). This ability is not mandatory.

Feel free to PM me any questions about your role. The public game thread is here.

But all the things I did for this town, like the remodeled bridges, new jobs and tax breaks for all of you! Ugh. :p

It doesn't matter, whatever the town feels is best, I'm okay with. That's how democracy works after all.

Checking the Town Map again, you notice something's changed.

Say hello, everyone!

Because of SmokinGunZ1981's inactivity, he has been replaced by EzekelRAGE, who will assume the same role and position on the map.

EzekelRAGE will hopefully be caught up to speed by the start of Day 3.

If it's anything game-related, save it until we open back up on Day 3. There's no discussion allowed in the main thread during the Night phase.

Sorry to switch you in during an inactive phase, but that's just how it worked out!

Welcome back!

Clock bells chime in the distance

20 Villagers gather today.

Someone is passing around a letter; you get a look for yourself:

You're not sure what's worse; bad jokes, or innocent faces being disappeared in the middle of the night.

The bitter fact is that this letter came from someone in this crowd of 20...

RIP coppanuva :(

On that note, before we get to asking, I didn't hear anything in the night phase. That debunks any of those theories, I think. I also don't have anything new over the night phase, so I guess I'll take to expanding on whatever anyone else reports.

Although, I'm dropping my accusations of Haly, but I'm holding fast to nin1000 being HHA.

So long Coppanuva. Looks like HHA is continuing to pull from the middle of the group.

Good morning to everyone else. We've got some weed picking to do.
 
RIP Cop


After looking for a fresh start, EzekelRAGE eyes the town of Animal Crossing. He settled on a house he settled on a house in D5. But found out day before he was to move in, SmokingGunZ1981 moved into the house instead. Rage had given up hope of moving into the dream house, until the realtor Karkador called him back. He had good news that the house was available again, since Smoking bailed at the last minute. Without hesitation, Rage accepted the offer and moved into the house. In the days it took to move, Rage noticed something off about some of his new neighbors.

*Observations from reviewing the thread, could be reaching or w/e* Didnt cover everyone

I'll start off with the person that raises my suspicion the most, the ones after Razmos are in no particular order though and some are just stray observations(possibly over analyzing):

Razmos - Razmos hasnt used his ability again since night one, which timeasis backed up. He claims issues of being on holiday and limited wifi. This could be true, but this could also be the scenario:

Razmos and Timeasis are both mafia
- Raz could've made up the role. Using Timeasis to cover for him. I don't know how his ability works, but if he has to send a pm to Kark about letting him know who to setup in the gossip chat, then he could've at least done that and had another person (Darryl/Hobohodo) confirm his abilities at the least. Even with confirming ability, still doesnt mean he is town.

21GunShow - Seems to be lurky? Rarely posted but posted right after Kalor threw suspicion on him. Hasn't really posted much after that as well. Last post in this thread is 3 days ago.

Foshy - Basically the same thing as Razmos tbh. Except he has no one to claim his role works or says what his role is exactly. He says he can do somehting in the day and the person will find out that night, and be able to confirm the next day. So Day 3 he should be able to get confirmation on this ability by someone, unless they get killed. If someone does confirm Foshy, then it's the exact same situation as Razmos and raises the same question. Could Foshy and his confirmer both be HHA? Could Foshy still be HHA even if he has a confirmer? I don't think a reason was ever given to why he didn't target someone Day 1 either.

Ultron - Hasn't really posted much other than to agree with Haly for voting for Hippie. States the reason for mafia not targeting apartments is because mafia probably assumed ppl protected it. Was first to vote no evict to get to first night on Day 1. Also seems be a bit lurky. After Kark posts 12 votes for No Evict (13 needed to end the day), he posts 6 minutes later to end the day. After Darryl posts about possibly evicting roomies, Ultron posts 7 mins later defending why mafia didn't attack roomies yet. Could be just a case of him not feeling his role, but who knows.

Franconp- Says he is town and can prove it. Day one he claimed to have a useful big role. But still is alive.

Kingkitty - KingKitty votes for Freakzilla just to do something different. Could be a situation where mafia votes for another mafia to throw suspension once majority already votes for townie. On the day Hippie was evicted, said he had no problem bandwagon voting Freak, but defended him on day one from getting evicted.

Salvapot
- Only voted for hippie because he didnt want to risk a tie, which also removed his vote from nin. What made Hippie stick out more than nin? Hippie at the time admitted he was a power role. Could be a situation where Salva and Nin are both Mafia, and Nin didn't want to be the final vote for a townie, so had Salva switch his vote.


Nin100 - The whole situation with freakzilla, and he went to bat hard for him. He also seems to be very receptive to other ppl's ideas. Agreeing with Haly when he called someone out. Agreeing with Salty about someone needing to go, just not Freakzilla. Had no problem voting for hobo even though he seemed more likely to be town than Freak ever seemed to be. Could just be easily swayed by Haly. When it was between him and hippie he didn' want to hammer the last vote on Hippie for w/e reason.

Haly - Went in hard on Hippiehobo, was a sort of logical argument I guess. But even after Hippiehobo did the double vote thing, he still went in hard on him. There was also a part where he said something about applying pressure to town and not needing HH's double vote to do so, which struck me as an odd comment to make. Maybe I read it wrong. As far as an ability not helping town, Ultron's ability could be seen as a way of hurting town more than HH's double vote ability. The latter's may not even help evict, while the former's can force two evictions.

Why would you need Hippiehobo's double voting to put pressure on a townie? Look back to all the pressuring around Day 1 and 2. Until attention fell on him, we were fine pressuring town by ourselves. We have an overwhelming majority, Hippiehobo getting two votes isn't going to swing anything while we have that majority.

Post about applying pressure to town
And as I've said previously, there is no point in lynching an almost confirmed HHA. It's much better to keep them around and wait for them to trip up. The HHA don't have any increased strength in numbers, I think. That is, two HHA voting for a killing is no different than one HHA voting for an eviction. They might have roles, sure, but unless their roles involve multiple evictions per night, it hardly matters if we evict francorp now or later.

Going back to this earlier post, he feels HH is a confirmed HHA, so he shouldnt really mind him staying especially since he feels his ability is completely useless at this stage of the game.

Looking at his post 581 most the reasons he knocks HH's ability can be used to knock Ultron's as well, but worse. Since it seems Ultron's ability forces 2 ppl out.



RobotNinjaHornets - Not much, was first to vote for HippieHobo.

Timeaisis - Not much, getting town vibes, but you can never be sure. Was trying to sway heat off of HippieHobo.

Darryl - Admitted to bandwagoning with his votes?

LaunchpadMcQ - His play for ppl to out themselves as townie or w/e?


Voting Observatons

Nin/Kingkitty/Nin try to defend Freak to varying degrees - Starts around post 462. All of these guys could be innocent townies, but something to look at nonetheless.
Nin - Was making about big stink of not voting Freak


Votes for HippieHobo
RNH, Darryle, Freak, Ultron, Kalor, Hobo, Salva
Votes for HippieHoob that changed - OB/Nin

Nin/Hodo/OB voted within 10min of eachother for hippie

Freak/Darryl voted Hippie close to each other


LMQ tries to defend Darryl? 481




This is just LMQ's list I think:
Claimed Townies:
LaunchpadMcQ
freakzilla149
Tamo
RobotNinja
SalvaPot

Claimed Power Roles
Mazres
Razmos - Gossip
Ultron - Troublemaker
Fran - Claims he can prove he is town
HippieHobo - Mayor
Kalo
Foshy - Ability Unknown - Similar limitations as Razmos

Of all the people who claimed power roles, only Hippie had concrete proof with the double vote. Razmos just had Timeasis as confirmation of his ability so far.

==================

With all that said, I think we should evict Razmos, Roomies, Freak, or Nin to see what shakes. Leaning a little towards Roomies, thinking it's unlikely both are town, but who knows. Ultron's ability of doing a double eviction plus having the double vote ability from hippie seems too good to be true, idk. Plus if both are town, why haven't the mafia targeted them yet? Mafia assuming roomies are protected 2 nights in a row seems iffy. A couple of ppl, Haly being one, seems to like making a point saying "unlikely mafia would start a vote on someone because it may come back to bite them when they are town." Could be something to look at.
 
Oh no I got rid of the mayor D:

I'm at a barbecue so this will be brief, but I feel like looking at the people who jumped on HH after that vote gained a bit of momentum is a good plan.

Also welcome Mr Rage, I hope you enjoy your stay!

Razmos - Razmos hasnt used his ability again since night one, which timeasis backed up. He claims issues of being on holiday and limited wifi. This could be true, but this could also be the scenario:

Even with confirming ability, still doesnt mean he is town.
I actually was telling the truth about being on holiday and having limited wifi (i only used it briefly each day), and since I made my post I DID use my power again, to invite Darryl to my private chat.

So that's another witness. Timeaisis already confirmed that I used my ability on him, and yes, it is just as you said. I have to PM Kark during the day to recruit a neighbour to the chat.

I have no other way of proving I'm town
 

Razmos claims to have a secondary ability as well, so keep that in mind. As for chatting with Timeasis, Razmos kind of put him on the spot and he could either confirm because he's a townie or confirm to avoid drawing attention to himself as an HHA.

Don't know what to make of 21GunShow.

Not sure if I missed it or forgot, but I'm not sure if someone can confirm Foshy's ability/role.

Agreed on Ultron. Suspect behavior.

I'm not sure kingkitty was doing anything crazy, freakzilla is suspicious as hell.

Salva/Nin theory holds some water. Maybe nin didn't change his vote because Salva was going to save his butt anyway and they discussed it on their private forum.

Nin1000 is my prime suspect right now. I've got that tunnel vision for him.

I can kinda see where Haly is coming from with his post. We've been more successful in pressuring players as a group than HH could have on his own, even with a double vote. I'm still a bit wary about Haly, but I've calmed down a bit since the last day phase. I think he's town.

Also, I wasn't trying to defend Darryl in that post, I was just saying that he'd been pushing for those players since the beginning of the game as additional evidence to him either being more suspicious or less suspicious.

Oh no I got rid of the mayor D:

I'm at a barbecue so this will be brief, but I feel like looking at the people who jumped on HH after that vote gained a bit of momentum is a good plan.

Also welcome Mr Rage, I hope you enjoy your stay!

I'm in agreement with this.

Yeah, I'll admit to lurking. I check the thread somewhat often at work but don't post much. I can read stuff but don't have time to gather my thought coherently enough to post. Also this last week I got way too into the weeds arguing about GoT in another thread, which took up my usual GAF time. This was a mistake, because it was arguing on the Internet.

Honestly my current goal is to just survive till later in the game. The beginning part of the game is almost entirely random guessing anyway. So as long as I prevent people from evicting me, the one move that I know is guaranteed to remove a villager, I'm improving the town's chances. This whole roommate situation puts me so far in the public eye that posting a ton doesn't seem like it is likely to help me out.
 
Also welcome Mr Rage, I hope you enjoy your stay!
Thanks, just happy to survive the night and post lol.


Yea, figured you were telling the truth about wifi etc, but figured HHA could use that as a reason as well. Darryl should clear half of what I posted up.

Razmos claims to have a secondary ability as well, so keep that in mind. As for chatting with Timeasis, Razmos kind of put him on the spot and he could either confirm because he's a townie or confirm to avoid drawing attention to himself as an HHA.

Yea, could just be me overthinking things. Situation where Raz/Time make up the role, then everyone around Raz dies so there can be no 2nd confirmation of his ability.

Not sure if I missed it or forgot, but I'm not sure if someone can confirm Foshy's ability/role.
Whoever I target will be notified by Karkador, and they'll be able to confirm what I'm telling you right now.
I didn't target anyone in the first day phase, but I did in this one. So by the next day we should have someone who can vouch for my innocence.

Huh ok, so it looks like I've ended up as the prime suspect while I was gone D: Well, can't say I can blame you guys.
Don't worry though, I'm a townie, and I should be able to prove it with my role. Not gonna disclose completely what it is right now, but I can target one of my immediate neighbors during the day phase and they'll be notified of what I did by night. So whoever it is I target should be able to vouch for my innocence in the next day phase.

My theory on Foshy, if the role is made up, relies on him having a HHA as a neighbor.

I'm not sure kingkitty was doing anything crazy, freakzilla is suspicious as hell.

True, I was just making a note of ppl who just defended him/other ppl (like you with Darryl).

I can kinda see where Haly is coming from with his post. We've been more successful in pressuring players as a group than HH could have on his own, even with a double vote. I'm still a bit wary about Haly, but I've calmed down a bit since the last day phase. I think he's town.
Yea, Haly couldve just given up on Ultron after the first day after no one wanted to vote them.

The mafia are still being careful in who they kill as they haven't really went for big claimed town roles yet. It makes you wonder if some of the more vocal people are mafia. Nin1000 looks like the best person to lynch today with the suspicion on them.
 
So we have Maz/Raz/Ult+Fran/Kalo/Foshy who have claimed power roles, yet Mafia goes after someone seemingly random. That seems a bit odd.

Not going for Razmos makes sense, with her not having a role that can out them.
