By the by, hiplop, that is why I changed my mind and decided to jail you :P only way to clear me since I can't be tracked and Ank's result takes a day to appear, and having the Jailkeeper cleared is generally pretty useful.

I'm not good at setup spec stuff.

Why does dav jailing hippy clear dav? Why can't dav do more than one thing in a night? I've been following this game loosely and had ISOed a few people before I replaced in. massive is clear because ank, right? I agree hippy is clear if dav jailed him.

can someone explain stuff to me in simple english?

i'm gonna make coffee and try to wake up.

Massive is clear because on Night 1 he was investigated by Hecatia. Her investigation comes up positive if the person she inspected has a kill that they have not used yet. Hecatia got a negative result on N1. Massive was also tracked by hiplop, who saw that Massive targeted no-one N1. With the Mafia Ninja dead, it means that Massive could not have performed the kill N1, so they have no kill, ergo they are town.

Hiplop is town because he was jailed (by me) last night and a kill happened.

I am town because hiplop knows that I jailed him last night as he got "No Result" on his track, and as
In post 2, Antihero wrote:Mafia members may not perform the factional kill and an active ability on the same night.
it means I could have not performed the kill last night.

oh, okay. thanks for explaining that. setup spec is like a foreign language to me. i just can't approach a game that way at all yet.

I'd already pretty much cleared hiplop through my own analysis. I feel kind of silly having done all that work if there's literally only one person it could be.

Spoiler: pistachi0n's iso

The intersection of these two made hiplop look like the most likely partner but hiplop's own ISO disproved that:

So, translating
Pistachi0n's
interactions with Nacho into words first:

Her first mention of Nacho's slot is in == where she posts a readslist. This was back when Nacho was The Bulge. She writes "Where are you????? Why hasn't he been prodded, he hasn't posted in over a week." This is a bit over the top.

Next mention is after Nacho replaced in =.
Vedith
had asked her why she was scumreading me instead of The Bulge and she said I was underwhelming and because The Bulge only had a few posts before he was replaced.

That's all she says about me on day 1.

On day 2, she votes nacho kind of out of nowhere in v. Notably she isn't voting her counterwagon, cataphant, at this time, even though the votes against them are tied. She claimed that his reasons for voting
LyingCat
were suspect. She may have been bussing here to look good for VCA purposes in the future (it's clear she was already hoping to be cleared on "not voting her counterwagon") and it kind of reminds me of wgeurts' inexplicable massive tunnel in our last game together.

She tries to get Nacho to engage with the thread in =.

She asks massive a meaningless filler question about nacho in =.

She ISOs nacho in - but her post doesn't really make sense. She claims to have been townreading him during his catchup but this is the first we're hearing about it. She lists some really basic things as being good or bad, such as not explaining why he doesn't like somebody's posts (bad) or following up with more examples (Good). She lists a bunch of things about him that aren't really scumtells? I think newer players tend to do that to their more experienced partners; they know they're scum so they see little things that aren't really a big deal and assign scum motivation to them, whereas if they'd just leave it alone town wouldn't pick up on them or would recognise them as being null.

Her next mention is in - where she's ISOing cataphant and she says she can understand why people are voting cataphant but still thinks nacho is a better target. I think she knows she's probably going down today and knows that an aborted bus is scummy so she's doubling down on her scumread on her buddy for the "why would she do that" wifom.

She pushes nacho some more for reserving his spot on the
LyingCat
wagon in -.

- is an interesting post from the perspective that they're both scum. Nacho points out that the
LyingCat
wagon had 3 votes on it and Pistachi0n also had 3 votes on it at the time. He asks her why he didn't vote her instead and asks her what the scum motivation for voting
Lying Cat
instead of
pistachi0n
is. In hindsight this was a pretty cheeky thing to say and I approve of it. :] Pistachi0n's response is that perhaps
LyingCat
was more of a threat to Nacho which was true regardless of Pistachi0n's alignment.

Her last mention of Nacho is in - where she's suddenly waffling a bit in response ot Vedith bussing her. She's probably worried about taking Nacho down after her.

Can we unvote me though while we talk this through because I've only been mislynched once before and I like being able to say that I've only been mislynched once in 11 games. I know we pretty much have this won but getting mislynched in 8.3% of my town games makes me feel like less of a VI than getting mislynched in 16.7% of my towngames.

Vedith's
interactions with Nacho:

Vedith's
first (and only day 1) mention of Nacho is in -? where he wants to know why she's scumreading me and not nacho.

His next mention is in + where he's wanting to know why
Concrete Angels
think all the scum are in {
pistachi0n
, cataphant, nacho,
thor
}. He wants to know why {Nacho/
Thor
} and why not {
Ank
, Me}. He wants to add two town to the mislynch pool and remove his stronger buddy from it.

He wants to talk with them more about Nacho/
Thor
especially +. Even if I didn't already know the answer I'd think this was unlikely to be an all town list.

Vedith
is taking the opposite approach in + that
Pistachi0n
takes towards Nacho which is something that i see a lot that one person will scumread their buddy and the other will hard townread them. His towncase for Nacho isn't that compelling because Nacho is more than capable of doing those thiings as scum

And then out of nowhere, just four posts later, he positions himself to go back on that Nacho read if he needs to. What? -

A few pages later nacho is no longer town but is instead "not scum" ==.

In = he's surprised that Nacho didn't know he was jailed. He probably doesn't want to give away that he knows Nacho didn't do the kill that night.

He defends Nacho against pistachi0n in +.

He's hard townreading Nacho in + and doesn't understand why nacho has as many votes as
Pistachi0n
and Cataphant. I can imagine the scumteam was pretty worried with having two members tied in the vote counts. He hastily votes the scumbuddy he'd mind losing the least.

His last day 2 mention of Nacho is in = where he replies to nacho saying that he thinks pistachi0n and cataphant are both scum. This is in reply to Nacho being upset that Vedith voted pistachi0n instead of Cataphant.

That's where I had stopped with doing numbers on Vedith's ISO because I get the most out of comparing when all the scumteam are alive, but I'll keep going and look for how he interacts with his buddy now that they're down to two.


+ asks
Thor
to remind him why Nacho is being voted.

He's against the Nacho wagon in + which makes sense since
Vedith
was less likely to win as last surviving scum than Nacho.

In + he says that other people have been anti town, not nacho which is pretty lame because if anti town always meant scum then mafia would be a lot easier than it is.

In + he says that the Nacho wagon is bad and the
Thor
wagon is good. He can't make a compelling towncase for nacho, though.

He busses Nacho in -v but I'm not really sure why. Something about claims that i don't understand.

Wants clarification from nacho about his role in =.

He's satisfied with nacho's answer because he unvotes Nacho in u+ and votes for no lynch instead.

He corrects nacho about whether hiplop has claimed or not in =.

Nacho asks him what he's saying and he replies in = that he's not lying.

He maintains until the end that + Nacho is a mislynch.



I'm going to make lunch and then read Nacho/The Bulge.

Yeh, sorry about that. It's kinda a naff situation to be put in the game in a night where killing anyone but two players leaves enough conftown players that you will be lynched.

Anyway, woo! Good game. I feel like that was one of my better towngames, despite lacking early on.

Mark Halliday: Yes, I usually put myself in the criminal's shoes and then I keep asking myself, uh, what do I do next?

Mark Halliday: Mmm, yes, absolutely. On paper, that is. And I think I could, uh, plan one better than most people; but I doubt if I could carry it out.
Tony Wendice: Oh? Why not?
Mark Halliday: Well, because in stories things usually turn out the way the author wants them to; and in real life they don't... always.
Tony Wendice: Hmm.
Mark Halliday: No, I'm afraid my murders would be something like my bridge: I'd make some stupid mistake and never realize it until I found everybody was looking at me.

They know I can't move a finger, and I won't. I'll just sit here and be quiet, just in case they do... suspect me. They're probably watching me. Well, let them. Let them see what kind of a person I am. I'm not even going to swat that fly. I hope they are watching... they'll see.

Mrs. Danvers: [just as the second Mrs. de Winter reaches for the door] You wouldn't think she'd been gone so long, would you? Sometimes, when I walk along the corridor, I fancy I hear her just behind me. That quick light step, I couldn't mistake it anywhere. It's not only in this room, it's in all the rooms in the house. I can almost hear it now.
[turns to the petrified second Mrs. de Winter]
Mrs. Danvers: Do you think the dead come back and watch the living?
The Second Mrs. de Winter: [sobbing] N-no, I don't believe it.
Mrs. Danvers: Sometimes, I wonder if she doesn't come back here to Manderley, to watch you and Mr. de Winter together. You look tired. Why don't you stay here a while and rest, and listen to the sea? It's so soothing. Listen to it.
[turning away towards the window as the second Mrs. de Winter slips out the door]
Mrs. Danvers: Listen. Listen to the sea.

Constance Petersen: I think the greatest harm done the human race has been done by the poets
Anthony Edwardes: Oh, poets are dull boys, most of them, but not especially fiendish.
Constance Petersen: They keep filling people's heads with delusions about love... writing about it as if it were a symphony orchestra or a flight of angels.
Anthony Edwardes: Which is isn't, eh?
Constance Petersen: Of course not. People fall in love, as they put it, because they respond to a certain hair coloring or vocal tones or mannerisms that remind them of their parents.
Anthony Edwardes: Or... or... sometimes for no reason at all.
Constance Petersen: That's not the point. The point is that people read about love as one thing and experience it as another. Well, they expect kisses to be like lyrical poems and embraces to be like Shakespearean dramas.
Anthony Edwardes: And when they find out differently, then they get sick and have to be analyzed, eh?
Constance Petersen: Yes, very often.
Anthony Edwardes: Professor, you're suffering from "mogo on the gogo"
Constance Petersen: I beg your pardon!

Melanie Daniels: Oh yes, there are.
Mitch Brenner: Well, uh, these are for my sister, for her birthday, see, and uh, as she's only gonna be eleven, I, I wouldn't want a pair of birds that were... too demonstrative.

Four people are sitting around a table talking about baseball or whatever you like. Five minutes of it. Very dull. Suddenly, a bomb goes off. Blows the people to smithereens. What does the audience have? Ten seconds of shock. Now take the same scene and tell the audience there is a bomb under that table and will go off in five minutes. The whole emotion of the audience is totally different because you've given them that information. In five minutes time that bomb will go off. Now the conversation about baseball becomes very vital. Because they're saying to you, "Don't be ridiculous. Stop talking about baseball. There's a bomb under there." You've got the audience working.
