Large Normal 132: Desert Mafia (Over!)

[gorilla]

I am fine with voting silver today, even if he is town he is a potential liability in lylo especially if hiraki is also town

I really don't believe scott's claim at all, though

actually no fuck it, i just woke up at 4:30 AM to post this because scott's claim doesn't make sense

copping sky n1? what?

not using a watcher power on ranmaru n1?

a joat with a commuter ability, really?

i am not buying this.

VOTE: scott

[Skyquiem]

Oddly enough I got home from a party quite drunk last night and was someone convinced that Scott was confirmed mafia, I thought he claimed that no one visited Ran the night that he died but checked to find out I was incorrect. His last claimed ability being commuter makes no sense at all because I fail to see how such move would ever be considered to be useful however at the same time I'm having trouble seeing Scott fake such an ability.

I was expecting his last power to be governor because I noted roughly a 12 hour delay between the first few lynches occuring, the thread being locked and the flip coming up which baffles me because I don't see a mafia governor not using his power and then proceeding to not claim the role at all. The only possibility would be that they were planning on saving the ability to win on lylo, due to this we should attempt to consider today being a lylo position and refrain from voting until we're sure.

I still fail to see any possible way that Hiraki can be mafia considering his actions and attitude towards RisingPhoenix and Khan nor do I see any realistic way that Slaxx's gambit day one was fake. Pines replace in post and attack against Khan makes minimal sense as scum as does him shooting towards Mastin but at the same time I fail to make sense of that shot no matter who's mafia. The only thing that makes an ounce of sense is that it was a no-kill designed to have someone inside the pool of actions handed to DK framed and subsequently lynched however there's no logic in mafia doing so if their whole team were in that list which continues to confuse me.

I have to head of to another party, running shit late because this took me longer than expected to type but I need to read into interactions occuring between Gorilla, Scott and Silver at some later point. On a sidenote I haven't managed to catch my hydra partner online for quite some time and badly need a chance to have a conversation with him so H1 can you attempt to state what time you can guarentee yourself to be online and I'll do my best to be online at that time as well.

[Skyquiem]

Oh, and incase it isn't obvious via my previous message I'm leaning slightly towards Scott being legitimate due to the amount of power roles in the setup and the fact that his check on me N1 adds up with his suspicon of me on day one and it being compeltely dropped on day two with him going as far to say that I was 'certaintly looking town'.

[Slaxx]

Oh wow.

Scottm why did you not use a watcher power on the claimed BG?

[Scott Brosius]

I figured one of BG or JK was going to be killed. Rather than waste the watch on what I felt was a 50/50 shot, I figured one of them would die, and I could watch the living PR of those two the next night.

/post

[Slaxx]

oh god

no you have to DO something

[Slaxx]

Wait it could still be silver+Scott

lol wtf am I thinking

Alright we're good guys, I was still right from yesterday.

[Slaxx]

Grilla, look at Kahn's post on Silver and tell me it doesn't scream "LOL HIDIN MY PARTNER BEHIND DA WEAK TOWN META"

[gorilla]

Okay fine, silver isn't doing shit anyway and we have a few days to deadline BUT SCOTT IS SCUM

UNVOTE:

VOTE: Silver

[Slaxx]

Very possible sir.

[Silver1337]

I'm VT. Hurr.

[Slaxx]

Who's scum silver?

[Silver1337]

IDK. -_-
Probably Hiraki though. I have a chip on both of my shoulders.

[Hiraki]

See? This lurking thing is bullshit. You're refusing to read the game, and it's pissing me the fuck off.

[Skyquiem]

I'm really leaning towards it being Gorilla + Silver right now so I'll bite.

Vote: Silver

[Untrod Tripod]

Silver is lynched!


He was...

A vanilla townie. Night choices are due in 72 hours.

“Most of my wandering in the desert I’ve done alone. Not so much from choice as from necessity—I generally prefer to go into places where no one else wants to go. I find that in contemplating the natural world my pleasure is greater if there are not too many others contemplating it with me, at the same time. However, there are special hazards in traveling alone. Your chances of dying, in case of sickness or accident, are much improved, simply because there is no one around to go for help.”
-Edward Abbey

Slaxx was killed last night. He was a vanilla townie. With five alive it's three to lynch. Deadline is on 7/20

[Hiraki]

I don't believe we've mass claimed.

There's a really good chance this is LYLO.

I can't see 3 scum in a 15 player game.

I'm VT.

Skyquiem next please.

[gorilla]

We did mass claim yesterday. I'm going to assume it's lylo. This is probably my first real time at lylo as town in a forum game (not counting the hydra games, regfan), so I'm nervous, going to take it slow.

I will however state my immediate concern: as I said yesterday, I find scott's claim to be suspect. This is further reinforced by the idea that if I am to believe his claim, I have to accept a pine-hiraki scumteam, which right now I do not see as being particularly likely.

[Hiraki]

Scott, what were you results anyway?

[gorilla]

I am JOAT. I have three abilities, I have only used two. It does not make sense for me to use the third one until I claimed. That is all I will say about my last power.

I did nothing N0.

N1 I copped Sky and got an innocent result.

N2 I watched DK, nobody visited him.

I'm still torn on Silver. I highly doubt scum claims VT unprovoked D1. It just doesn't feel right.

Slaxx and Sky are 99.9% town. That leaves probably 2 scum in gorilla, Pine, Hiraki, silver. I need to reread these four.

Slaxx: I was never on the IHSB wagon. I'm not sure where you are getting that from.

for your convenience

[Hiraki]

I can't see that being true after the dead list.

[gorilla]

also, his supposed last power is a commuter ability, which sort of smacks of 'scum looking for an easy out as to why they're alive'

I basically just want to make sure you're not scum with Pine
