Mini 169 - Game Over

[Talitha]

Too many possibilities as to why no-one died.

*stretches*

VOTE: THE SHADOW

Ahhhhhh... that felt good.

[Talitha]

My metaphorical stretch was meant to imply that I've spent far too long not voting for The Shadow

That has been rectified!

[Talitha]

Oh here we go again...

Someone link Phoebus to the newbie game...

[Talitha]

Yeah I'm bummed I missed out on playing that one.

Phoebus, yes, lazy.

[Talitha]

I have the feeling you're being rude, but I think it went over my head

*Wonders how long before the Spam Police arrive...*

[Talitha]

*gasp!*

Don't use that name Lee, you'll get me in terrible trouble!!

[Talitha]

Does this mean we have to behave ourselves now?

I don't think Quail has checked in yet... does he know that game has started?

[Talitha]

Let's not worry about Phoebus. He's just finished his exams and he needs to let off steam. I'll be keeping an eye on him though. 8)

And maybe Quail needs a reminder about the game.

In the meantime I'll stick with my Shadow vote.

[Talitha]

Wow, firstly, Sapphire... you've claimed cop, we might as well hear the result.

Secondly, Quail struck me as a tad defensive.

Third, the bug raised my suspicion a little for being so quick to assume that Phoebus is town.

All very interesting.

[Talitha]

This game is going sooo fast. I need to have a careful read when I'm not all tired. I'll try do it tomorrow morning.

[Talitha]

My first instinct is that when you have 2 cops both claiming guilty investigations, you can only prove anything about sanity etc by lynching the investigated person/s.

[Talitha]

I'd just prefer not to go into day 2 not knowing any more about the cops than I do now.

I can see your point though.

[Talitha]

At the moment I am most dubious of Dmi's claim. It seems way too overpowered for a mini. Also it seems tailored to fit with the other revealed claims, ie. multiple of each role, and a slight variation on what the bug claimed.

I don't see any reason for a mod to put 2 hiders in a game, seems quite unusual.

If Dmi is scum, that could make LML sane (and Sapphire paranoid or insane.) So I'm a little uncomfortable at how fast this bandwagon on LML gathered momentum.

vote: Dmi

[Talitha]

Dmi: But you had to come up with something powerful, to avoid getting lynched after you were fingered. If you were expendable, the best play would be to lynch you and test the cop.

Bah, I though I unvoted shadow already.

unvote: shadow. vote: dmi

[Talitha]

Oh - damn.
I just remembered something important.
Damn I feel silly now. Heh.

[Talitha]

Obviously I can't vote for Dmi at this time.

[Talitha]

If, as I stated earlier, we are both telling the truth, then we have two. unkillable. confirmed. townies. This would be huge.

And this is exactly why I find it difficult to believe that you are both telling the truth. Also, you wouldn't be confirmed because you could be working together.

But fair enough, there's no reason to rush the lynch.

Why do you want to hear more about my role?

[Talitha]

I can understand the curiousity now that I've stupidly drawn attention to my role, but I'm not going to give out any unneccesary information about it. Scum will be able to take advantage of it. So yeah, if you wanna know more you'll have to try and lynch me, sorry

[Talitha]

So, it was part of your role that prevented you from unvoting, I take it? Because saying "no, my inability to unvote has nothing to do with my role" wouldn't really be giving away dangerous information. Interesting.

I actually can unvote. The mod sent me a PM saying he didn't count me as unvoting because my intention was to change my vote, not just to unvote. Anyway, you are correct, it's my role and not something that another player has done to me or anything.

[Talitha]

I'm confused as to why the bug is dead.

And I'd like to hear the cop results before going any further.

[Talitha]

I think the only way they could both be telling the truth is if there's a mafia framer or something similar in the mix. I got completely confused by cop results in my last regular mini because of a framer (incidentally, Stewie was in that game as well).

I don't think that is very likely in this case however. Too many coincidences.

I'm wondering if Sapphire coming out as a cop on day 1 could have been a pre-arranged thing decided by the scum the night before. Why would they do this though?

Even if I could vote, right now I don't know what I'd do.

[Talitha]

OK - I'm away until the middle of next week. So sorry to be an inconvenience. The mod may feel free to replace me if necessary.

I dunno who it is from, but I received a gift last night that enables me to vote today! Yay!

Just looking at the numbers... unless someone has some solid information, I think a no-lynch is the best way to go today.... to narrow down the field. I wish I could stick around and hear opinions on that, but I am literally about to walk out the door.

So,

vote: no lynch

- to test out if my vote really does work, and because I think it's the best play and I don't want to hold the game up.

[Talitha]

Hey I'm back. Too tired to think or even read what I missed, but we have 6 alive right? And most probably 2 mafia members left? And no solid information?

Do the math. Aren't we in a lynch-wrong-lose? We lynch a townie today, it's all over. We might as well make our odds better. Am I over-looking something completely obvious here? Or do the scum just not want to no-lynch...

FOS: Quailman

[Talitha]

I

have

thought about it.

Today we have 6 alive. 2 scum. We have a 2/6 chance of lynching correctly.
If we no-lynch, the scum kill overnight, we have 5 alive tomorrow. The same lynch-wrong-lose situation, except we have a 2/5 chance of lynching correctly.

[Talitha]

Fine. Let's lynch the scum today instead.

I'm obviously not going to get any support for the best course of play with you two muddying the waters.

I'm not sure whether Nanook is scum or if he's just being obtuse.

Quail on the other hand has been around long enough that I'm

sure

he knows what I am talking about.

unvote: No lynch, vote: Quailman

Claim?

[Talitha]

No posts in over 24 hours?

I have to say this is making me extremely comfortable with my Quailman vote.

If we are lynch wrong & lose, and Quail was town, the scum would've jumped on and finished him by now. Unless they were both voting for him already, but IIRC Pinky has been cleared by the bug earlier.

[Talitha]

unvote

uhmm.. How many to lynch? Vote count please.

[Talitha]

Nice job scum buddies! Thanks for the game everyone. Great modding Stewie!
