day 1 little birdies no more

Posted March 3, 2013 by Helius

Several notes were posted on the anonymous communication board. One of which was a concerned citizen named Helius who hadn’t a clue what was going on. It read:

Way up in the sky
The little birds fly
Way down in the nest
The little birds rest
With a wing on the left
And a wing on the right
The little birds sleep
All through the night

SHHH! (whispered)
They’re SLEEPING! (shouted)

The bright sun comes up
The dew falls away
Good morning, good morning
The little birds say
I open my eyes and roll out of bed
I open the window and found that bird dead

Uhhh… there was a note that said… little birdies aren’t going to talk anymore, and it was written in its own blood. I heard a gunshot and a dark figure that looked like he was up to no good… what’s going on guys? Why are they taking out the little birdies!?!? Someone answer me! ………please?

There was another note from the Governor errr…. Dictator? of the town, and it stated:

Good evening. Yes, I know it's morning here, but hey, it's 5 o'clock somewhere. Anyways, this is your omnibenevolent Governor here, and I just want you all to know that I'm on your side. You have any problems, you come straight to me. Granted, this is an anonymous letter, but look hard enough and you'll know where to find me. Or maybe not. Whatever. Not my problem. So let's kill some Mafia, shall we?

And our list:

1. `Roxas`
2. white lancer
3. White Thunder
4. Black Yoshi
5. MajorasMask9
6. Female Alpha Wolf
7. Count Dooku
8. Castrael
9. CtR Black
10. hezekiah
11. Jo Nathan
12. Feral
13. Redack
14. chiefsonny
15. Trever Leingod
16. Xhin
17. Vandy

You have 72 hours to decide the fate of the town.

Don’t forget the executioner! --- If someone gets the majority of votes at any point during the round, the executioner can choose to … ummm… eliminate that person. And that’ll be a big OUCH! The only one who can save you from this fate is the Governor…

Someone fucked up in the night, and it WASN'T our kind host!{:P}

Red said:

Also INB4 mafia kill me the first chance they get


To which Roxas replied:

No, Red, I think we need to get back to killing Xhin first.


Either that is the most destructive typo in the history of GT or Roxas just blindly confessed. Until he can prove his innosence...

Or, you know, it was a joke as to how Xhin would almost always be killed off by either side within the first two rounds?

I don't really think that makes Roxas look suspicious at all. He's just referencing the old tradition of Xhin dying first, townie lynch or not.

March 3, 2013
Edit
MajorasMask9

When I read it, I took it to me "we" as everyone in this game and future games rather than "we the mafia".

Personally I'm suspicious of Castrael. I don't have any evidence to throw against her yet. So I'll be keeping an eye on her.

Everyone else I'm unsure on, last time I played we didn't normally leave chatting open on Night 0 so it's hard to base too much on it.

March 3, 2013
Edit
Redack

I'm not terribly suspicious of anybody right now. However, if I have to vote for somebody to keep myself safe, then so be it.

It's worth noting that the Executioner kill will be available when somebody hits 6 votes.

March 3, 2013
Edit
`Roxas`

Nah, I'm not actually that suspicious. Just wanted to see how people would react to my calling out something obvious. Had a feeling it was just a badly timed reply.

March 3, 2013
Edit
Feral

Has night talk ever been on before? It hasn't since I started playing.

At least we're going into Day 1 with posts we can look through already. Usually we have nothing to go by until Day 2.

March 3, 2013
Edit
Jo Nathan

IIRC We used night talk once before. Really is an entirely different dynamic.

March 3, 2013
Edit
Feral

We used night talk once before


Yea and it was a pain in the butt and probably why we never used it again. We had people voting for lynching and lynching is a day action.

It's worth noting that the Executioner kill will be available when somebody hits 6 votes.


And they know who they are, so when one of use get's the required votes, he'll act if he's active. We need to hope the Governor is active.

Also since it looks like our Cop has no protection maybe he/she should only report when they have ID'd a Mafia member.

March 3, 2013

chiefsonny
 

Redack, you're always suspicious of me! lawls. When I haven't even done anything wrong.

I was typically referring to everyone else in the game.

Also, I really think we should be suspicious of that cop. He/she sounds creepy.

There's nothing to prove that the insane role is the cop at this point... I'm almost sure in one game there were two insane roles and one was a mafia.

Obviously if the insane role is the cop they should not bother using their ability until they're cured because any results they get could be wrong (as Helius explained in Night 0, the insane role's results from their actions would be random... So if it is the cop they may get the right result or the wrong, they won't know).

Redack, you're always suspicious of me!


No, I'm not... Add on to that we've barely ever played this game together due to be becoming less active when you started playing.

Well, maybe not in Mafia, but in other things. :P I lied, of course. Just being silly.

Maybe you're the other insane one? :o I'm only making suggestions. xD I'm not voting randomly again.

So, the cop could be anyone at this point?

Okay, does anyone else here see something strange about Cas's posts so far? It seems like she's trying too hard to cover her tracks...

Not voting yet; awating input from the rest of y'all before I cast a vote.

Oh, and Helius, I assume vote locking is off as well?

Now that you mention it, Yoshi, it does seem a bit strange, but I'm not going to jump on anybody unless I'm more than 75% certain of their guilt.

Yeah, I'm going to play it safe after my major mishap last game. No suspicions so far.

March 4, 2013

White Thunder

I agree with you, Thunder. Anyone could be any role, like Chief said.

Also, I'd be careful of what others say. Right, Yoshi? What I mean to say is, the game has already started and we shouldn't assume right away.

Just FYI, I'll be traveling (AGAIN {>:(} ) tomorrow and Tuesday so my participation will be limited. However, I should be able to sign on in the evenings.

Edit
MajorasMask9

I don't know -- I'm almost tempted to No Vote/No Kill this round, even though we have night talk enabled this game and we have about twice as much to go on as we usually would. I just haven't seen anyone really stick out in my mind.

Then again, I'm equally tempted to follow my suspicions...

March 4, 2013
Edit
Black Yoshi

Maybe it would be more noteworthy starting next round, but so far we've yet to hear from lancer, CtR and Xhin.

Those three and Cas so far are standing out to me. Although I'll admit my ability to read Cas anyone is questionable at best.

March 4, 2013
Edit
Jo Nathan

I'm curious to what happens if I do this.

March 4, 2013
Edit
Redack

Xhin hasn't been active around the site in general for the last week or so. Nothing suspicious about him. CtR has always been an "under-the-radar" player.

Now Lancer, on the other hand...

I will be without my DS for the next week, so I will be on when I can.

March 4, 2013
Edit
Feral

I'm willing to trust that lancer's absence is legit because he's not shown up for aliens this round and I've not see him around the site.

Doesn't mean he's not mafia, but I not think he's hiding I think he's legitly not here.

March 4, 2013
Edit
Redack

I don't see how I'm suspicious of anything. I'm always attacked for something. ><

I say we have a look at Vandy for a sec here. He's been a bit insane.

Now a word from your Journalist who apparently has taken up haiku instead of lengthy articles:

Sweet miss Castrael

Left her house during the night

Mafia? or town

March 4, 2013
Edit
Helius

OOOOOOOOOOOOOO~ How juicy.
I wonder if we can guess who the journalist is so we can narrow this list down a bit to find out who we should be looking at.

March 4, 2013
Edit
Female Alpha Wolf

Well since the journalist confirmed Castrael has a night action I don't feel bad about saying that I think she's the insane cop. I assumed she was either intentionally or unintentionally hinting at it earlier in a few posts:

Also, I really think we should be suspicious of that cop. He/she sounds creepy.


Was the first thing that stuck out. How would Castrael know something was up with the cop of she wasn't the cop? You could say that it's because of an insane role, but there's nothing that indicates it's the cop that's insane, and only the insane person knows they're insane.

So, the cop could be anyone at this point?


Again, maybe unintentionally drawing too much attention to the idea that she "doesn't know who the cop is."

Maybe you're the other insane one?


"Other"???

I don't know, either cop or psychiatrist make sense, but I don't think she's mafia.

March 4, 2013
Edit
MajorasMask9

I know who the journalist is by the grammar. Not sure if revealing my findings is a good idea, though, as there is no reason to make them a target.

March 4, 2013
Edit
Feral

I would recommend keeping it to yourself Feral. Make note of it in case someone different claims to be journalist but definitely keep it to yourself for now. We don't need the mafia killing off useful people this early :)

March 4, 2013
Edit
Redack

Well now I'm wondering if we're thinking of the same person Feral. {:P}

And that is a good find Majora. I thought about it when I read that first line of her's, but since I was working all weekend I just kinda skimmed through everything. I should probably go back and read through it (shifty)

March 4, 2013
Edit
Female Alpha Wolf

For all I know Dooks could be the Journalist, but I ain't taking that chance :3

Sweet miss Castrael. Left her house during the night. Mafia? or town


I mean, he's really the only one who says stuff like that, that I know of, at least.

I could very well be wrong.

March 4, 2013

Castrael

I have a feeling I know who the cop is and I'm confident it's not Castrael.

March 4, 2013
Edit
Redack

Who's the cop, Redders?

March 4, 2013
Edit
Castrael

MM's defense of Cas is a bit weird. I think she's most likely to be Mafia at this point, but I'm still contemplating No Kill today.

March 4, 2013
Edit
White Thunder

It goes without saying that as long as The Executioner is still in play we need to be careful with our lynch votes and keep it at least one below what it would take for him to lock in his kill. When that happens they will get 2 kills.

I think that number this round is 6.

Helius needs to post that number at the start of each day round as long as the Executioner is alive, so no one can use the excuse they didn't know.

So if we lynch, once one player get 5 votes then we need to spread the other votes around. We also need to keep our eye on the person that pushes a vote over the limit.

I have no concrete suspicions at this point and as much as I hate a NO KIll, well I'm going to go back and read the post again. Will vote later.

We really need for our Cop, if he/she is not nuts to play a smart game. And if they are, GET CURED

March 4, 2013
Edit
chiefsonny
 

I think that number this round is 6.


If that's not right, someone please correct it.

March 4, 2013
Edit
chiefsonny
 

I do believe the number for the executioner kill is 6.

I know there was some discussion in other games about the Mafia all ganging up on one person, but they had to have at least one other townie on board.

The other thing to consider as well... the executioner can technically kill more than one person if the votes are scattered. If there are two people who get 6 votes but it keeps flipping and flopping, I do believe the executioner can kill both of them.

March 4, 2013
Edit
Helius

I think what I was trying to say is if the number was 6

And the count was

5 player A
4 player B
3 player C
1 player D
2 No Vote
2 No Kill

Then the Executioner could not use his power right?

Now that sounds like a lot of watching the numbers, but like Helus say's, he can get 2 kills in a day round and they get another at night and we're down by 3 in one day round and one night round.

March 4, 2013
Edit
chiefsonny
 

And when you have a Mafia member with that much power and a un-protected Cop, the Town just might be up the creek without a paddle and then superior numbers won't mean crap.

March 4, 2013
Edit
chiefsonny
 

Helius, I have a question.

Do the mafia 'meet up' at night? As in, even if they're not using their actions (Night 0) they still 'travel' to the same room?

March 4, 2013
Edit
Count Dooku

Who's the cop, Redders?


Wouldn't you like to know missy ;)

Redack

Wouldn't you like to know missy ;)


Well, aren't you acting a bit insane? Could you be the cop? :o

March 4, 2013
Edit
Castrael

Well, I'm joking of course. You could be the Journalist for all I know xD

March 4, 2013
Edit
Castrael

I could be the cop... I could be mafia... I could be the journalist... I could be townie...

Truth be told I'm a townie, but even if I was something else I think it's fairly obvious to say I wouldn't admit to it at this stage in the game.

Also, I generally act a little insane in this game and self incriminate myself ever so slightly by doing so. It makes me difficult to read for both mafia and townies thus making it an ideal strategy regardless of what side I end up on :)

March 5, 2013
Edit
Redack

I'll keep that in mind then {:P}

I have no suspicions at this point. I'm being careful, after all of the games I've messed up on <<

March 5, 2013
Edit
Castrael

I'm going to go out on a limb and say that doing a no kill is the best option for this round.

We really don't have much suspicious to go on, that's just the rub of it right now.

I'd rather no kill this day round, lose one person this night round to the mafia, ask the FBI agent to hold off, and give our cop the chance to get his head on straight.

We'll get another journalist article, hopefully as good as Castrael's, and we'll only be down a single person.

Alternatively, we mislynch (the odds aren't for us hitting a mafia) today, the FBI agent jails the wrong person (odds are they'd hit a town aligned role), and the mafia picks someone off.

Its a fairly simple choice to me, starting next round down three people or down one.

March 5, 2013
Edit
Count Dooku

You know who I'd like to hear from...

Lancer...

Or maybe Xhin...

They both haven't said much... Well nothing actually.

March 5, 2013
Edit
Redack

Then the Executioner could not use his power right?

That would be correct. Under that scenario the executioner could not use his/her power because there isn’t 6 votes per se for any one option.

Do the mafia 'meet up' at night? As in, even if they're not using their actions (Night 0) they still 'travel' to the same room?

Mafia 'meet up' at night. The Journalist, the FBI agent, Cop and the Psychiatrist will all be out at Night because they have Night actions.

On Night 0, the FBI agent wasn't allowed to arrest anyone because there wasn't anything for the FBI agent to work off of. I guess I could have left the FBI agent arrest someone since Night Talk was on, but decided against it.

I consulted with Yeano real quick on how to answer this. Technically, the Towns people were up and about, but they were on a "Skype" date and not going to people's houses. So the only people who were out of their houses were those people I mentioned earlier. Otherwise, it would defeat the purpose of the Journalist

March 5, 2013
Edit
Helius

Lancer hasn't said much during Alien's game has he?

Id like to hear something from CTR Black, Trever, and Hezy themselves.

I am on board for a No Kill. Not eager to roast any pigs(sorry, Cop) at this point.

March 5, 2013
Edit
Feral

Id like to hear something from CTR Black, Trever, and Hezy themselves.

Cas is either mafia cop or the psych.

So here's a few scenarios.

If she isn't mafia, there's a fifty percent chance she's the cop. So mafia kills her.

She is mafia, so she doesn't die.

Mafia acknowledge that we know theres a chance she could be mafia, so they leave us to lynch her (less likely).

4:2 chance she's mafia. However I saw we leave it to the mafia to decide what we do with her

March 5, 2013
Edit
CtR Black

It seems that the Town is shooting for No Kill. I have this niggling feeling that that's a big mistake, but that's just me. My suspicions stand, but they're not really strong enough for me to cast a vote for anyone.

March 5, 2013
Edit
Black Yoshi

I vote for no kill as well. I have nothing against anyone.

March 5, 2013

Castrael

Really the only person I have my eyes on is Cas. After Red and FAW voice that they have suspicions of the Journalist's identity, she instantly names Dooku, jokingly or not.

March 5, 2013
Edit
`Roxas`

Dooku was definitely a joke. As far as the Journalist goes, I'm a hundred percent confident now that it ain't Dooku. I mean, when Feral stated who the Journalist was and Redack instantly stopped, kinda makes me wonder.

March 5, 2013
Edit
Castrael

*stopped him

March 5, 2013
Edit
Castrael

I'm here! Sorry, guys. I was out of town this weekend and wound up having less downtime than I expected. I'm flattered that the town is named after me, though. :P

I'll have to look over everything more closely, but it seems to me that the Journalist (assuming they're not insane) is actually the most powerful role. If all four Mafia members leave their homes every night and have no control over it, the Journalist's power is huge because they can detect every single member of the Mafia. I'd like a little clarification on the Journalist's abilities, though, Helius: do they get results if their target leaves their place, or if their target is visited? We've played with it being the latter before, but I'm guessing it's the former since no one else was mentioned.

If the Journalist gets results from someone who was visited (e.g. if they selected someone as their target and Castrael visited them), they should reveal who they targeted last night in their next message. Either way, though (assuming the Journalist isn't lying or insane), there's a 2/3 chance (4/6 power roles moving last night) that Cas is Mafia. I'm almost inclined to vote for her on that alone--we're probably not going to get better odds.

March 5, 2013
Edit
white lancer

The Journalist was getting information about strictly Cas' house. So if someone went to visit her or if she left...

Because if its revealed, then the Mafia will kill them, and then we have no extra info.... (shifty)

I think for now, I'm gonna go with this.

March 5, 2013
Edit
Female Alpha Wolf

Okay. I'm assuming that if Cas is Mafia, the other Mafia wouldn't be shown to visit her as that would just be overpowered.

The only thing that really makes me iffy about voting Cas today is that she could be the Cop or the Psychiatrist. It might be a good idea for the Psychiatrist to visit Cas tonight, although it could be a wasted move if the FBI Agent also decides to take a chance. Which...I wouldn't be overly upset with since the odds are good.

March 5, 2013
Edit
white lancer

I really don't see how I'm Mafia. I'm just as insane as Redack is, when it comes to games like these. I suspect, change my mind and suspect again. Then, I goof around and have some fun.

I mean, I like to question Trever though. I don't have any suspicions of Hezy at the moment, but I have a gut feeling there.

March 5, 2013
Edit
Castrael

*I would like

March 5, 2013
Edit
Castrael

Right now, I think the safest bet would be for the town/neutral-sided power roles to remain hidden. This is what I would do if I were in each of their positions:

FBI Agent arrests Cas in the Night
Governor stops all kills if more than 50% of the players (9 people) are uncertain of a person's guilt, so as to prevent as many unnecessary deaths as possible
Cop does investigating
Psychiatrist goes after who they think is most likely to be the Cop, so as to get a possible insanity case taken care of

March 5, 2013
Edit
`Roxas`

Cas, I think there's a way you can prove you're not Mafia. If you're a special role, you could simply not visit anyone tonight. The Journalist should visit Cas again tonight, and if she doesn't go anywhere, she's not Mafia. If she does, we can kill her tomorrow.

March 5, 2013
Edit
white lancer

That would make sense, yeah. And I'd do the same even if I didn't have a special role. I know for a fact that all odds are on me now tho. I'd take back my mistakes from previous games and from this game, and just learn from them.

And again,

{O:-)}

March 5, 2013
Edit
Castrael

Oh, and I've also decided it's probably best if the Psychiatrist doesn't visit Cas tonight. If Cas isn't the Psychiatrist, there's only a 1/5 chance that she's not Mafia, and since her role will be confirmed by next round anyway it's likely that the Mafia will take her out themselves if she's Town-sided. Better to use your power on someone else in case Cas is guilty.

March 5, 2013

white lancer

Sounds fair enough doing things that way. I just hope shit doesn't turn around and bite us in the ass.

Just a side note:

I'm not going to end the round early unless you confirm that you want me to do so with the vote that you are certain you want to make.

Cas, I think there's a way you can prove you're not Mafia. If you're a special role, you could simply not visit anyone tonight. The Journalist should visit Cas again tonight, and if she doesn't go anywhere, she's not Mafia. If she does, we can kill her tomorrow.


I dislike this for a few reason.

  • 1. She could be mafia, pretend she's a power role and claim she ignored this request.
  • 2. She could ignore this request.
  • 3. If she is a power role it is wasting two of our power roles.
  • 3A. Wasting her role's action.
  • 3B. Wasting the journalist's action.
  • 3C. If she's the psychiatrist then it's wasting a turn to cure someone PLUS potentially wasting the turn of whoever is insane.
    3D. Lots of wasted actions!
  • 4. She could be the journalist and attempted to mislead us by implicating herself (I doubt this but I got on a roll with flaws XD)

    On the whole I think it's a very flawed plan that relies on her telling the truth and sticking to the plan... Neither of which I trust her to do :)

    I disagree with Redack and think it's a good idea. Either Castrael is a town-sided power role or mafia. If she's not mafia, then she's a prime mafia target. If the Journalist watches Castrael tonight, they'd see anyone that tried to kill her. Additionally, if Castrael leaves her room, we have a reason to lynch her.

    If she's not mafia, then she's a prime mafia target.


    If the mafia knows that the journalist is watching Castrael then they won't kill her anyway and we get nothing from it, it also benefits them to leave her alive because she's attracting attention.

    Additionally, if Castrael leaves her room, we have a reason to lynch her.


    This relies on her sticking to the plan, if she's the cop and doesn't stick to the plan what do you do then? You kill the cop and blame her for making use to her role rather than yourselves for creating the situation.

    Of course that's all working under the assumption she's town sided, which I think you genuinely believe she will turn out to be. I'm fairly sure after Night 0 and what's been said so far that she's Mafia. Whilst I don't think Lancer is Mafia at this point, it wouldn't surprise me if he's attempting to waste the journalists' for us to only get the exact same result we already got...

    TL:DR = I think checking Castrael is a waste of the Journalist's turn and that he/she should try someone else in hopes of finding the mafia's target. Castrael is mafia, don't waste time trying to get more evidence.

    Don't the rounds usually say "You have 72 hours or ____ votes for the same option"

    What's the voting threshold? Seems fairly obvious we're going for a no lynch.

    9 is the threshold; however, I had vote locking off. :/

    There were a lot of accusations and hints thrown around, and so the little town of Lancerville decided that they weren't going to lynch anyone. Period.

    I think vote locking usually doesn't matter in the voting threshold, Helius. You can change your vote as often as you want, but once the magic number is hit that's the end of the round.

    At least, that's my understand. Feel free to correct me.

    March 5, 2013

    Count Dooku

    Vote locking means your first vote is the only one that counts.

    The normal way means you can swap.

    Both ways I'm pretty sure it's 72 hours OR X votes for the same thing.

    4. Journalist Check
    5. Mafia Kill

    I'd assume so, unless you have a night action, in which case your specific thread functions as your means of traveling through the town to complete your night action.

    "All is quiet. Too quiet. I feel as though someone's watching me, but can't be sure. This house is a bit drafty at night, after all. I sit here contemplating...trying to figure out who's who in this town. It feels more like Haven than Lancerville tonight...I feel as though whenever I think I know something, something else happens and it blows my assumptions out of the water. Whenever I think I've found someone who's Mafia, we lynch them and it turns out they're innocent. Whenever we think we know who's the Cop, that person disappears and we don't find out for months who they actually were. If it weren't for all the Goddamned bridges being out, I would've left this town years ago..."

    What? You? Never. :P

    Anyway, I think Red has a good point that the Journalist checking Cas *could* be a waste of the Journalist's power this night round, but I think it's worth it. It'll either confirm guilt and give us an easy lynch tomorrow, or it'll confirm innocence and remove Cas as a distraction for the Town. Yeah, Cas will probably get targeted by the Mafia if her innocence is confirmed, but not necessarily--they'll have to be careful about making the obvious choice because the Journalist could easily visit Cas again and catch one of them.

    Mostly I was thinking that if Cas is innocent, having the Journalist check her tonight could pay dividends. The fact that she hasn't claimed a power role makes me think she's more likely to be guilty, though.

    I think I know who one of the power roles is! I won't identify which role, though, because even that would put him/her in danger.
