[BabyJesus]

So we have -

2 Black Townies

Pie_is_good
BabyJesus

1 White Townie

Pooky

2 White Scum

Yaw + Fuldu

3 Black Scum

Lt. Origen + rolandofthewhite + Save The Dragons

Updated again, this should be accurate now....

[big_kahunia]

Final Day 6 Vote Count

6 Lt. Origen – (Fuldu, BabyJesus, Yaw, PookyTheMagicalBear, rolandofthewhite, Pie_is_good)
1 Yaw – (Lt. Origen)

Not voting (1):

Save the Dragons

With 8 alive, it’s 5 to lynch.

Day 6:
The eight of you gather for a hearty and lengthy discussion. BabyJesus accuses Yaw and Fuldu. “Why hasn’t Yaw been vigied?” Yaw replies, “Perhaps, because I ate my veggies?” Anyway, you all claim and most agree that to win the best way is to lynch the black mafia. The required five encircle Lt. Origen and string him up!!!!! Afterwards, you all (and the mod) have some nice strawberry sencha.

*yummy*

Lt. Origen, black knight – scum, lynched day 6. It is now night. SpeedyKQ will look after the game in my absence. I might open for day, but I’m not sure. I’ll set a tentative deadline for 26th of June at 9pm (est). Send choices to

both

myself and SpeedyKQ.

Away:
Pooky will be gone from the 25th through the 2nd of July.
I’ll be gone from the 24th through the afternoon of the 29th.

By the way... BEST. ENDGAME. EVER.
::applauds AndrewS and big_k::

Thank AndrewS, he designed the game, which indeed is having a fun endgame. But thank you nonetheless.

[SpeedyKQ]

Let's say that the deadline for 9:00 EST

tonight

* is not tentative, but official. Don't forget to send choices to both me and big_kahunia.

*Bah! I am stupid.

Deadline is tomorrow Sunday the 26th. Sorry. Bad backup mod.

[SpeedyKQ]

I'll keep the thread locked until the real deadline tomorrow. Anybody who has submitted choices may change their mind if they want.

[SpeedyKQ]

As the sun rises, three screams rise from the black ranks:

BabyJesus, black rook (roleblocker), has been killed.
Pie_is_good, black queen (vigilante/alignment cop), has been killed.
rolandofthewhite, black bishop (mafia/alignment cop), has been killed.

And one scream from the white ranks:

Fuldu, white bishop (mafia/alignment cop), has been killed.

3 players left. Two votes to lynch.

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

Oh Hey Guys


This is uh, Pooky, your super awesome magical bear.


At this point niether of you have the power to win the game outright.

However Pooky has been really nice to both of you through this game and has been kind of keeping you guys alive .

To recap in case you didn't know, both of you are scum from different sides, Yaw is white scum and STD is black scum and Pooky is the White King.

If you both decide to lynch me, you will kill each other at night and there will be no win for any1.

If we lynch STD, Yaw wins, if we lynch Yaw, STD wins.

I however propose a fourth option that gives satisfactory odds to all players involved(well sorta)

We nolynch, Yaw shoots STD, STD shoots Yaw and Pooky rolls a die.

1-2 He protects no1(White Town Wins)
3-4 He protects STD(STD Wins)
5-6 He protects Yaw(Yaw wins)

This would pretty much give us a fairly even distribution of winning, as opposed to forcing a draw.

The wind breezing through the sycamore trees is cool and damp, I am alone on the veranda sipping my tea. The mountain rises defiantly in all its splendor into the mists behind me. A mockingbird flies low above the ground, drinking the first of a sweet morning's dew. It sings a song of times good and bad, dreams old and new, and a life where we are all happy together.

Won't you come have some tea with me?

[Yaw]

Thank you, the tea is quite nice.

The problem I have with this plan is that in essence, you're asking both StD and I to trust that you'll actually roll the die, when you've set up the only possible situation in which you have the leverage to ensure you'll win. Unfortunately, IS had tainted such methods of chance for me.

From my perspective (and StD's), it's better to lynch today. Sure, if either of us gets lynched, we lose outright. But if we lynch the other scum, we win, and if we team up with each other to lynch town, we tie. Neither of these last two are bad outcomes from a scum perspective, and they give us some measure of control over our destinies.

I'm interested to hear what StD thinks about this. Also, I find it amusing that while I thought this game was hella broken over the past couple of days, we still end up here at a 3-person endgame in which three of the sides in this game all have a chance at winning. Shows what I know, I guess.

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

It's not a tie between your 2 scum families if u lynch me and shoot each other at night.

It would be basically everybody loses because we all died.

I think you can trust Pooky, he only kept your butt alive for the last 6 nights.

[Save The Dragons]

I'll have some tea, some sugar too, please.

Can't we just settle our differences and all win?

Yo, I hope you isn't dissin' my black homies.

Here's plan D (or whatever).

We lynch Pooky, and don't kill eachother at night, and see which one Andrew/B_K/Speedy said would trump the other in endgame. Although that would involve even more trust than Pooky's plan, so if we're considering that, we might as well go with Pooky's plan.

I dunno, I don't see Pooky sacrificing himself for the win of me or Yaw.

Plan E:

I vote Yaw, Yaw votes me, Pooky votes randomly. Pooky dies, so maybe that's not such a good one.

Errmm...there's got to be something fair...

[Yaw]

Sugar in strawberry sencha?

I don't think AndrewS would have given either of us precedence in the case of plan D, so that isn't likely to work.

I'm also not sure we're going to find anything that's fair and doesn't involve giving too much power to one person. This is sort of unique in that mafia isn't normally "fair", so we don't usually get a chance to sit and chat about what outcome for the game is most desirable. Although we can try...

Didn't this game end when the kings died? We've already checkmated one another.

[Mr. Flay]

Bah, I've been dead since N1...

[Save The Dragons]

I don't think AndrewS would have given either of us precedence in the case of plan D, so that isn't likely to work.

That was a more of a, "Let's screw with B_K and Speedy!"

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

I will vote against the first person to vote me.

So if you vote me, you are pretty much forfeiting the game.

Cmon guys, don't you seriously trust Pooky to be honest?

Please?

[Save The Dragons]

Oh damn. You're good.

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

Look, Pooky's been trying to keep this game balanced and keep the Black town from overwhelming us and winning the whole game.

I think you both can trust Pooky because Pooky is really awesome like that.
(Btw we had about 7 of these situations at Jeepfest already(not with a doc, just 2 different sided killers and one random town person))


The sunset really is beautiful.

won't you come watch with me?

[Save The Dragons]

Meh. I sure as hell know I don't deserve to win this.

Vote: Nolynch

There...have some trust. It goes great with the tea.

[Yaw]

Well, clearly we aren't lynching Pooky. That would be suicidal.

I still think it's better for StD and I to vote for each other. Increased odds of a scum win that way.

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

No because Pooky isn't stupid enough to vote for either of you.

Night night.

vote Nolynch

[Yaw]

Well, you would have had to if StD had seen things my way.

Guess we're stuck with Pooky's plan. At the very least, I'll take some consolation from that fact that if my paranoia is correct it will be the white side winning.

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

How would I have had to vote one of you?

Pooky can wait on his veranda with his tea forever.

The sunset's coming, let's see what the dice comes up with.

[SpeedyKQ]

Night falls with no lynch.

Send choices to big_kahunia. I'll leave it to him to report the final results when he gets back from jeepfest.

[big_kahunia]

White King to D4. White Knight to E7. Black Knight to F5.
What will the King do? Stay on D4, move to D5 or move out of the way? What should he do in his prisoner’s dilemma.
The King stays shrewdly hoping that the knights kill each other. The black knight, not wanting to lose to the white knight, lifts his javelin. The white knight does the same. The two speed toward each other. …

Yaw, white mafia, and Save The Dragons, black mafia, have each been javelined.
Pooky wins the game as does the White town.

Great exciting game everyone. Thank you to all who played and for our replacements. Thanks to SpeedyKQ for taking over for that stint and giving me the chance to close it.
Post comments welcomed!!!!!

[Mr. Flay]

*laugh* I don't believe it worked, Pooky! Despite having been Black Town, I commend you on your ability to wrap things up. I wish RPS had turned out as well...

[Thesp]

Amusing.

I'd love to see everyone's role PMs.
