Micro 770: Killer In The Penthouse Game Over

[northsidegal]

i hope everyone who's joined understands the optimal way to play assassin in the palace, or is at the least willing to do so

Vote Wolf

Just so everyone knows how this works:

No discussion is optimal. Discussion strongly favors the uninformed group in a game, in this case the assassin.

If someone votes the king, do not vote that player automatically in response. Doing so is the best way to lose the game.

If at any point someone has more then 1 vote, they are to be policy lynched as they more or less can NOT be the king.

If no one has more then 1 vote, vote anyone you want, and I mean anyone. That includes the king.

Also, don't be an idiot. Remember the following rule.

2) NO OUTRIGHT CLAIMS ABOUT THE KING. This includes, “NameofPlayer is the king!” or “Everyone claim who they think is king.” There are still grey areas, but not as many as if there were no rule in place. Instant modkill, end of conversation. Mod discretion here, so please don’t push it. I really don’t want this to be an issue, so please don’t make the focus of the game WIFOM relating to the identity of the king.

this person says one, really it's best at about two or three or so, as everyone else in that game eventually agreed.

that clarification at the end was referring to "if at any point someone has more than 1 vote", if it wasn't clear.

vote archwing

[northsidegal]

don't end the day before everyone has the chance to check in, if not to vote then at least to say whether or not they agree with the strategy. it's not about random speedlynching, it's about keeping your cards close to your chest.

[northsidegal]

unvote, vote guiltylion

[northsidegal]

unvote, vote hopkirk

[northsidegal]

you guys messed up. hopkirk has to die now. i hope you all understand why.

[northsidegal]

this person says one, really it's best at about two or three or so, as everyone else in that game eventually agreed.

the amount of people who need to die is rapidly growing.

[northsidegal]

again, it's not about being entirely random - if it were we could use dice tags.

[northsidegal]

everyone – stop talking.

[northsidegal]

vote sheep

[northsidegal]

unvote, vote snarky

[northsidegal]

well then. bystander effect? i expected at least one other person to protect wilky.

[northsidegal]

no, i'm making no pretense towards targeting anyone. perhaps this decision lied in arrogance or self-centeredness, but night two i thought that i was a likely candidate for being the king, and as such it was better that i try to survive. the first night i just forgot to submit an action, however, which i'm pretty ashamed of.

[northsidegal]

to clarify, i thought that my being alive for the assassin's dayshot was more important than protecting someone else to make the assassin think that that person was the king, and i also believed that i didn't need to protect wilky as someone else already would. i'll fully admit that i probably messed this game up.

[northsidegal]

Thanks all for a good game though! I was worried I was being way too "go with the flow... follow the strat... don't talk at all" and was gonna ping someone soon.

it was actually this that got me a false townread on you. i figured that the assassin would never silently accept a potential loss on page one, and the later vote on wilky just confirmed to me that you were a guard. i don't think i ever would have suspected you.

surprised to hear that your shot wasn't actually directed at redflavor, however – i thought that the way the wagon on you stopped after your vote in 13 was a sign to the assassin that red was the king and you had just confguarded yourself, hence people unvoting. that's why i thought the assassin might be guilty, because that seemed like the kind of thing he would pick up on.


just realized i never said this, so good game everyone.
