Mini 530: Guitar Hero Mafia: It's Finally Over

[Gorrad]

Vote: Cole

for being the name of my avatar.

[Gorrad]

...I think I'm going to like this game.

[Gorrad]

Oh good, we're getting somewhere. Welcome Cole, you name-stealer.

Vote: ChaosOmega

because all the cool kids are doing it.

PS

Oh I know it's not uncommon to vote the rocker who just voted you... This is mafia.

Mafia? THIS IS SPARTA!

[Gorrad]

Doh, looks like I forgot to

Unvote, Vote: ChaosOmega

[Gorrad]

Vote: ChaosOmega

Not a sudden jump. I voted at the end of last page, but forgot to unvote.

[Gorrad]

Unvote

, my vote was just on a whim, not meant to be taken too seriously, mostly to see reaction to pressure. It obviously failed to do so, as so many haven't posted (myself included). Also, happy birthday, hasdgfas.

[Gorrad]

Gorrad: Your vote on ChaosOmega was just on whim? Or to place pressure? Or both. I see each as a separate reason... So was it just because you felt like it? Not based on his weird reaction to my random vote? Bleh. Nor his complete disappearance from this game? CO needs to post or be gone... I'm so impatient! Can you tell? The combination of being sick, lacking sleep, and wanting this semester to end is makin' me go crazy!

I saw his reaction, then, on a whim, decided to vote to see how he would respond to pressure.

[Gorrad]

Is there a jester in the house?

Goddammit, do not start this.

QFT. If there IS a jester, don't frikkin' worry about it. If he wins, then good for him, we got him out of the way early. But seriously, who takes a dive in Guitar Hero?

[Gorrad]

I am jester.

Ok, this is interresting. d3sisted, can you give us a role name and explanation as to why that role is a jester, please?

[Gorrad]

Since we seem to be out of the random phase, can random votes be removed please? For clarity's sake.

[Gorrad]

I'm in the same boat. Here, to get things moving:

Vote: d3sisted

. He doesn't scream scum to me, but we need to get things moving, and of everyone here I find him the scummiest.

[Gorrad]

I'm going to give this a reread this weekend. For now, I'm agreeing that d3s is most scummy.

[Gorrad]

I'm here, I'm here. There's just really been nothing for me to comment on.

[Gorrad]

I'm back from vacation. I'm really having NOTHING to say recently. Natude's looking strong pro-town to me, I support 197 and his list is well thought-out, but other than that I haven't had anything change in my eyes.

[Gorrad]

Heh, the players prodding the mod. I'm down with that, tell him to post or be replaced : D. In all seriousness, though, is there a backup mod with the setup? Or someone willing to take this over if we all forward our role PMs? I'd like to keep this party rocking.

On that note, clearly the Natude or d3sisted wagons can't both stay, I don't think it'd be possible for the day to end. Any Natude-haters want to switch? He's looking pretty bloody protown to me, I don't really see a case.

[Gorrad]

Good either way

[Gorrad]

Oh good, the game's going somewhere. /Welcomewarmly replacements

[Gorrad]

Hello SeraphicMirth. Really bad timing. Might want to claim.

[Gorrad]

My vote on d3sisted was mostly to make people converse, and it looks like that's finally happening.

Unvote

[Gorrad]

Same

[Gorrad]

I agree with TSN. Better lynch than most.

Vote: Deliciousgoldfish

[Gorrad]

I am jester.

Does anyone have ANY explanation for this? It happened right after I said

Is there a jester in the house?

Goddammit, do not start this.

QFT. If there IS a jester, don't frikkin' worry about it. If he wins, then good for him, we got him out of the way early. But seriously, who takes a dive in Guitar Hero?

Which makes me think that there actually IS a jester, since he'd be more likely to be lynched after what I said. However, he doesn't vote for himself...The only reason I can see is someone trying to stop votes on them by claiming a role that wins at loss.

Also, GJ yesterday.

[Gorrad]

Right, I phrased that badly. Ok, here's my thoughts put better:

Protown: He said it because he was a desperate idiot.

Scum: He said it because he was a desperate idiot. More likely than town, unless it's a power role, because it's a terrible gambit.

Jester: He said it right after my quote, which would normally make me suspect him.

However, the fact that he didn't vote for himself makes me think scum is more likely.

If anyone has any other ideas as to why he would claim jester, I'm willing to hear them.

Vote: SeraphicMirth

. I reread, and while your posts have been generally good, d3sisted's frankly sucked. So please, take no offense, you just replaced someone very bad at being scum.

[Gorrad]

Take a closer look, TSN

Jester: He said it right after my quote, which would normally make me suspect him.

However, the fact that he didn't vote for himself makes me think scum is more likely.

[Gorrad]

Post 303 is one of the worst posts I've ever seen. Read it a couple times, and hopefully you'll see the two major things that made me vote for Gorrad.

I've read and reread. I don't get it. Please explain so I can do so in return.

[Gorrad]

You didn't quote the whole sentence.

I do not think there's a Jester!

It made me think there was,

BUT

I then went on to say that the fact that he didn't vote himself made me think scum was far more likely.

Also, yeah, we did our job. We did it well. Hence why I was pleased.

[Gorrad]

Take a closer look, TSN

Jester: He said it right after my quote, which would normally make me suspect him.

However, the fact that he didn't vote for himself makes me think scum is more likely.

[Gorrad]

And, for good measure, here's this too.

Scum: He said it because he was a desperate idiot. More likely than town, unless it's a power role, because it's a terrible gambit.

Vote: SeraphicMirth

. I reread, and while your posts have been generally good, d3sisted's frankly sucked. So please, take no offense, you just replaced someone very bad at being scum.

[Gorrad]

But seriously, who takes a dive in Guitar Hero?

That's what this was meant to say. I don't think there's a jester. There could be, but then again there could just as easily be a cannibal, psychopath, mime with brain disease, or Captain Thelonious McAwesome. It goes against the theme, no one seems to be acting especially like one, and frankly, I don't usually expect one in any mini theme.

[Gorrad]

I don't think there's a jester. I DIDN'T think there's a jester. Frankly, I don't think I'll EVER think there's a jester in this game. I was NOT bringing up if SM's a jester or not. I was asking if anyone had an explanation for why d3sisted would claim as such other than as scum.

[Gorrad]

Hey, more people should totally vote SM. As d1 d3sisted shows, completely scum.

[Gorrad]

You're basing a D2 vote off of 'GJ'? As compared to d3sisted's D1 play? Houston, we have a scumpartner.

[Gorrad]

That's about the long and short of it, yeah.

[Gorrad]

Certain? No. I'm FAR from certain. I just have this air of confidence, hard to shake it. Right now, I think SM and, likely, Fhwqwgads, are scum. I'd also estimate that there are more than three, but that's just my gut speaking.

[Gorrad]

Hmm, true, I had forgotten about the second NK. Well then, yeah, 3 sounds about right.

[Gorrad]

That's about the long and short of it, yeah.

I'm calling OMGUS on this because you only seem to think I'm mafia based on the fact that I want to lynch you more than her. If there's another reason, I'd love to hear it.

You're close, but there's one point you're forgetting. I think you're scum because you want to vote me over a GJ more than her with d3sisted's astoundingly scummy d1 performance. If, say, TSN had said GJ instead of me and you were jumping on him, I'd still have the same thoughts as I do now.

[Gorrad]

That's L-1. Please no hammer until claim.

[Gorrad]

I don't know the song myself, personally. but yeah. *shrug*

Go listen to it. It completely rocks.

Also, I too have difficulty believing it to be vanilla town. More for the song itself than the difficulty, but still...

[Gorrad]

If i were scum, I think I would have made up something more tame sounding!!

That is a surprisingly good point. Thoughts?

[Gorrad]

That is a surprisingly good point. Thoughts?

That it's completely WIFOM. She could have that song and be scum, and then say that to make you believe she's not scum by claiming that. I'm willing to hammer, but it's not so much because of SeraphicMirth's play as it is of d3sisted's play Day 1. In addition to it being poor, d3sisted had some connections with DeliciousGoldfish, who turned out to be a mafia goon.

That's about where I was going too. SM's not stupid, she could easily be claiming for WIFOM. I've heard all I need to today.

[Gorrad]

Because I wasn't sure. It was a good point, but I had my suspicions about WIFOM. I wanyed to see if people shared them or if I was just being too Sicilian.

My claim is 100% true, and I think I've proven myself in my posts which are all pretty solid.

You haven't acted very scummy, SM, but d3sisted did. As much as you'd like to shake that, you just replaced really dumb scum.

[Gorrad]

HC, I brought it up again because I reread and it was the biggest thing that stuck out.

[Gorrad]

Why was there no night?

Vote: hasdgfas

for voting on flimsy reasons d2.

[Gorrad]

Ok then. Good point.

Unvote, Vote: Haschel

[Gorrad]

He doesn't have a song name. He, like myself, has a role that's a part of the game, not a song.

[Gorrad]

Roleclaim: Player 1

[Gorrad]

I figure a claim's in order. I seem to be pingin' pretty hard.

I am

Star Power

. I have two wonderful abilities:

1) I can protect someone, as star power brings someone out of the red

2) I can double someone's abilities, as star power doubles one's score

On N1, I protected Hasdgfas.

[Gorrad]

No, you misunderstand. They're unlimited, but I can only choose one per night. I'm a doc OR motivator. Sorry, didn't make that clear.

[Gorrad]

Gorrad...I might believe your claim, but the fact is...what the hell would you claim such a strong power role, especially considering you might be the only doc, when you've had no calls to claim and your still only pinging. VERY premature. And suspicious considering you just breadcrumbed it a second a go. A lot of possibilities, but no proof.

I'm doing it when I'm not under much pressure so people won't think I'm claiming falsely as a last-ditch escape measure.

[Gorrad]

Copied from V/LA:

Brawl. OMGWTFBBQAWESOME!

Distracted until Sunday. Expect daily reads but not much more.

[Gorrad]

Tommorow, kill Haschel. He's scum.

[Gorrad]

Yeah, but if I'm not lynched, I'll be NKd.

[Gorrad]

Ok, I got an idea. I'll motivate someone I think is town tonight. We've lost three vanillas, I would assume no more than one more. Good odd's I'll hit someone with a power role, they can confirm that I motivated them, and bada bing bada boom I'm confirmed. A scum motivator is just nuts.

[Gorrad]

CO, it means we get twice the power role as well. If I accidently hit scum or SK, then no one claims and I'm confirmed. If I hit investigative, we get twice the chances of outting scum. If it's protective, they shouldn't claim. I'm willing to be lynched over a doc getting NKd. If it's some other role, I dunno, but I'm hoping for investigative here.

[Gorrad]

The way my role works is that each night I tell the mod that I want to protect someone, or I want to motivate someone. Then that person is protected or motivated. If I hit a killing role, I'm confirmed because we have three kills and no one has to claim. I'm trying not to hit a killing role.

In other news, both TSN and HC are looking scummy to me. They should probably die.

[Gorrad]

I'd assume so. Otherwise they wouldn't know to pick a second target. If they don't have a night action, they probably wouldn't.

[Gorrad]

Ah, sorry. It's 10% OMGUS, 90% SM's arguments yesterday. We know SM to be town now, and she was adamant about your lynch. People should reread from the time she came in if they haven't already, it's a good read. TSN's trying to lynch me as a power role, already setting up his vote tommorow. Seriously, as OMGUSful as it is, is it that hard to believe my claim? Given Hasd's role, is another nonsong power role that surprising? Plus I can bloody well prove my role by motivating, and you're STILL suspicious. Motivator is NOT a scum role.

Don't set up a lynch on a confirmable role. It's not bloody well smart!

[Gorrad]

I read it. It doesn't change my opinion. I'm town, Hasd is pretty close to confirmed, and she stated clearly that you were next on her list.

Also, the whole 'made a DG-d3sisted connection' thing? D3sisted was a terrible player. You could have been bussing DG and setting up a d3sisted lynch, or you could have been expecting to lynch d3sisted and were going to use that to say that DG was less scummy. Either way, you pointed out a connection between a scum and a town. That's not a tally in your 'pro-town' spot.

[Gorrad]

Hullo, UROE. It'll be good to get a fresh perspective on this game.

[Gorrad]

And ANOTHER replacement! Huzzah and welcome!

[Gorrad]

Agreed.

[Gorrad]

Waiting on UROE and MSSK. Please post something.

[Gorrad]

.../facepalm

[Gorrad]

Mod:

Please replace the replacements with people who'll be somewhat active. Or very active. Or post at all. Seriously!

[Gorrad]

agreed

[Gorrad]

At the very least SSK

[Gorrad]

I've seen nothing to pursuade me from TSN and HC. Waiting for contet from CC09 with baited breath.

[Gorrad]

Yes, we are

[Gorrad]

It cannot possibly help scum, and it can help town a good deal

[Gorrad]

I'm good with that.

Unvote, Vote: TSN

[Gorrad]

Evidence against TSPN has been stated before, its seems a bit outrageous(not the word i wanted to use, but I couldn't think of the synonym i wanted) to have to keep repeating it over and over

I support this position, as it's one I often take myself.

[Gorrad]

Read since the last lynch, focusing on what I've said in regard to HC and TSPN.

[Gorrad]

However, DO be afraid to make long posts if you aren't going to have the courtesy of making multiple paragraphs.

[Gorrad]

Yeah Alabaska, I think the 'enter' key on your keyboard is broken or something.

[Gorrad]

Picking up prod. I support the TSN lynch, as can be seen.

[Gorrad]

The answer, then, is simple- one or both of the claimed townies are mafia.

[Gorrad]

unvote, vote TheSweatpantsNinja

With Haschel Cedricson as the last scum for wanting to lynch a claimed power role.

Dingdingding we haaaaave a winnar!!!!

[Gorrad]

Naturally, I'm very pleased with a TSPN lynch

[Gorrad]

Feel free.

[Gorrad]

I'm betting a lot on there being a pro-town power role besides myself who performs a night action. Otherwise, why would I even HAVE a motivator ability? It's possible I was given both abilities, one that only helps scum (motivator), one that only helps town (doc), but I don't thing it's likely.

[Gorrad]

After night, I made a quick calculation. We had seven alive. If there was a mafia of four and I targetted a killer, there was a chance of us losing. I protected Hasdgfas. That was more important than my being confirmed.

Vote: Haschel Cedricson

. Been pushing him for a while, think it's worthwhile to continue.

Mod:

Is it four to lynch or three?

[Gorrad]

Thanatos has been replaced in other games, I think he's left us.

[Gorrad]

I'm here. Waiting for roleclaims from both parties.

[Gorrad]

STILL here, STILL waiting for Thanatos.

[Gorrad]

All in favor?

AYE!

[Gorrad]

Gone to A-Kon until late Sunday/mid monday

[Gorrad]

Back. Glad TSQ's actually here ><.

[Gorrad]

Gods above!

Vote: TSQ

[Gorrad]

TSQ, please realise, we've been waiting for a MONTH for your claim. No exaggeration. It doesn't take that long to just post a claim and let us get on with the game while you read through. It doesn't matter what kind of elaborate trap you have, you're the long pole in the tent. You're holding everything up.

[Gorrad]

Hasn't been on the site since the 6th.

[Gorrad]

[Gorrad]

HC, I was pretty convinced you were scum. I'm glad I got frustrated.
