day 5 our guests are feeling unwelcome

Posted April 1, 2013 by Count Dooku

During the night, Chiefsonny headed into his basement. The Overlord demanded an update.

"XJFIOWHJIOFWH!!!" Screeched Chiefsonny, groveling before the imposing visage of the Overlord.

"SHAHIOFWH! AJLKWJLKAJLJKLVU!!!" Replied the Overlord, clearly displeased.

Alas, their conversation was to be a short one. Emerging from the shadows, the Godfather took hold of Chiefsonny by his skinny neck. Powerless to stop the scene before him, and having seen the broadcasts of 'The Godfather', the Overlord did the only thing it could.

It screamed. A long, high pitched, girly scream of utter terror from lightyears away as it watched the Godfather strangle Chiefsonny.

His work finished, the Godfather made a mock pistol with his finger, pointed it at the Overlord, and left.

The screaming persisted for some time after, silenced only when Chiefsonny's house spontaneously exploded, leaving a small crater behind.

Chiefsonny, the Alien, was dead.

Round End Conditions (Clarification):

TO PREMATURELY END THE ROUND:

Day 3 will end when 24 hours have passed AND a minimum vote threshold of 8 (2/3 of 13 players) has been reached.

If 8 votes are reached before the end of the original 24 hours, but votes are then changed, the town must confirm their choice by reaching 8 votes for the same option again. ((Basically, if you reach 8 votes during the first 24 hours just don't change your vote!))

---

Otherwise:

Once 72 hours elapses, the option with the most votes is carried out.

Wtf is the Overlord and why did it take you people so long to do the night round. Seriously, there were only 5 people who had to do things. How long does it take for 2 aliens to say "let's poke that person's butt", 2 mafia to say "let's kill that person", and a UFO hunter to say "is that an alien? lol"?

Anyways, RIP chief.

Now that that looooooong weekend is over, I can say something {:P}

The only slight (and I mean slight suspicion that I have is of Frustro. I know he didn't want to play the game in the first place but... he's been too quiet. I know that hiding isn't his typical game plan, Mafia or Townie, but I just feel that it might be something to think about.

I think it would be a good time for the UFO Hunter to step forward regardless of the guilty verdict and share results. I mean... we are down to 1 Alien. There's 8 Townies, and 2 Mafia. Soooo basically 8 against 3 which isn't bad odds.

This is just my opinion, of course.

Is that why you posted in a Pointless thread at 10:37 PM EST and then the Day 5 thread was posted 9 minutes later at 10:46 PM EST? I wonder why that is... No one else had been posting, we were all waiting for our lethargic remaining special roles to fulfill their nighttime activities... How convenient that Day 5 came so soon after your latest reply, almost as if you had also posted your choice in your specialized Mafia thread... Admit it, you killed chiefsonny!! Damn you, damn you for what you've done!! He was too young... He didn't deserve any of this... Oh, God, why... Why is life so cruel... TELL ME WHY, GOD.

Uhhh.... Chief was an Alien which suggests that you might know who the last one is...

And I have no control over when and if a round gets over. That's up to Dooku.

I'm going to take a long shot and say that Speed Bike Pro or Hindy are the last remaining Aliens.

Mayhap if we do another Mafia game involving Aliens like this one, we can involve the Overlord and have him be like the Alien Godfather, wherein the UFO Hunter would get an Innocent verdict...and then if we kill the Overlord, all of the Aliens die with him/her?

Anyway, there went all of my suspicions from the last couple of rounds (except Roxas -- had no idea he was Mafia). I thought something was off about Chiefsonny from the very start, and when Trever pointed out his aversion to killing off Xhin, it raised some red flags within me. Now he's gone...I don't know who to suspect at this point. Let's see how this round develops.

One thing niggles at me, though, and that is what if the UFO Hunter has already been probed?

IIRC, the first day or two, there were mentions in the Day threads of someone being probed, but there hasn't been any mention of that in the threads since then. Which would lead me to believe the UFO Hunter took one up the pooper. But... IDK, there hasn't been anything noticeable. Maybe they enter a catatonic state?

Yeah, if UFO Hunter has guilty verdict reveal now because after the aliens are gone he's no different from a townie. Other than that it's back to just chasing the suspicious.

April 1, 2013
Edit
White Thunder

...unless he's already been probed and that results in silence for the rest of the game, in which case we're screwed.

What Helius said. I'm certain Speed is innocent, but Hindy's proclivity for becoming extremely defensive whenever someone votes for him tells me he's Mafia or Alien. I'm tempted to vote him off (again) and hope to God he's Alien...

April 1, 2013
Edit
Black Yoshi

Sorry -- locked in the wrong person...

April 1, 2013
Edit
Black Yoshi

I'm 100% positive that Hinden is one of us. It's not like he actually voted to lynch hezekiah, he just entertained the possibility. Much like I did with Helius.

Also, maybe it's just because I'm new to this but I don't understand why everyone is so certain that I'm innocent. Not that I'm complaining, I actually find it quite nifty, heh... MM was certain of my innocence and look what happened to him...

Also also, gosh darn it but this damned April Fools Day revealed my secret alien name. Can we restart the game?

April 1, 2013
Edit
Speed Bike Pro
 

Also, I'm gonna go ahead and role claim since the Sensor is dead and my role is relatively useless without them. I am the infamous Outsider... But you can call me Patrick Swayze. (feral)

April 1, 2013
Edit
Speed Bike Pro
 

I knew chiefsonny was an alien. {:P}

So the Mafia did us all a favor, we're that much closer to eliminating the aliens. I agree with the others have said (Helius and White Thunder? Dunno, this Ap`ril 1st stuff is screwy), if the UFO hunter isn't probed yet he should certainly come forward, most especially if he knows who the last alien is.

If we keep with our instincts, we can have this game won in three days. We've only lost innocents so far due to the Mafia. Considering we lost the Cop and Sensor so early on, we're doing very well for ourselves and we'd probably be even better off if those two lived a bit longer.

Also, I am pretty sure the Night Round lasted so long because Dooku is probably still feeling under the weather and a lot of people were busy with Easter celebrations.

Throwing a team mate underneath the bus does not make one innocent. Ugh. -_- . If you're certain the team member is going to die, the best thing to do is to vote for them so it does exactly that... make you innocent.

I am very aware of this concept and I didn't deny the possibility, but I think it's unlikely. They easily could have swayed the votes another way, since both Xhin and Cas died by fairly few votes. The only person that stood no chance at escaping a lynch so far was Roxas.

Seriously, why hasn't anyone checked Speed's and Hindy's IPs? Isn't there a rule against signing up for this game with more than one account?

They're a hive mind of some sort, but not the same person. IP check confirms.

April 2, 2013
Edit
Count Dooku

Now that we're back from April Fools Day... I really think we should take a gamble and lynch someone we think is suspicious. I'm almost inclined to lynch Hindy just so I don't have to watch as Speed and Hindy post right after another.

The Hive mind thing only gets you so far. Technically, if we got down to a situation where it was Hindy and Speed with someone else stuck in the middle... They would undoubtedly vote for the other person.

Now, if one of them was a Mafia member and the other was an Alien, this would cause some issues. Aliens would win.

It's nice that Speed claimed Outsider; however, there is no way to verify this except through lynch.

-------------------------

Though I have stated in the past posts, that Aliens and Mafia have a win condition that just requires taking a back seat role. This may have changed since I've mentioned it because I've exposed that particular playing style.

That being said, I really don't have any suspicions. I'm just annoyed by the way Hindy & Speed are playing the game with each other and not voting for other people.... other than people who vote for them. Or people they believe will make them look innocent.

April 2, 2013
Edit
Helius

I'm inclined to vote Hindy just to get his ass out of here myself -- that, and if they don't change their votes, we'll lose another Townie.

April 2, 2013

that, and if they don't change their votes, we'll lose another Townie.

Or if we do change our votes and you don't, we also lose a Townie. We can settle this all peaceful like, ya hear... No one needs to die just yet...

Anyone else who'd like to claim it is free to do so.

Also, interesting how no one has gone back and reviewed the activities of Day 2 (iirc) when a select group of people voted on Xhin so we could get Sensor results... If it's true that I'm Outsider, I would have willingly revealed my guilt...

April 2, 2013
Edit
Speed Bike Pro
 

One of them also said the other was the Silencer in a previous round (if I recall correctly), and that turned out to be false. It's hard to say if they're just goofing around or trying to throw us off...

If it's true that I'm Outsider, I would have willingly revealed my guilt...


Not for nothing, anyone who was guilty that voted for Xhin could have tried pinning it on one of the other players.

April 2, 2013
Edit
Jo Nathan

One of them also said the other was the Silencer in a previous round (if I recall correctly)

You do recall correctly, and that was obviously done in jest. Threatening to reveal someone's Mafia identity is hardly the same as revealing my own Townie identity. But I have learned since then that GTX0 Mafia is SRS BUSINESS GRR PLAY SRSLY OR DIE so I have cut down on those kinds of remarks.

Regardless, I am the Outsider and I am convinced that Hindenburg is not only a fellow Townie, but also not me playing with another account. To address this comment:

I'm just annoyed by the way Hindy & Speed are playing the game with each other and not voting for other people.... other than people who vote for them.

When I vote for someone in retaliation (which has only happened twice including this thread's Black Yoshi incident), it is only to make them back down from their vote so as to think it through further. When I retaliated against Helius (iirc), I did not know that Hindenburg would have also voted similarly. That was not a guarantee. As much as everyone would like to think there is a "hive mind", I am not guaranteed that and neither is Hindenburg.

However, in the case of Black Yoshi, I could safely assume Hindenburg would defend himself and so I also voted in his favor to increase the leverage against Black Yoshi. I don't want Black Yoshi to die, though, just like I didn't want Helius to die. We still have, what, two IRL days left in this round? I just think we should think this through a bit more before rushing to any decisions... Mrrhhhh...

Ya dig?

Huh. Well unless someone wants to counterclaim the outsider role, I have no reason to suspect you're lying about that.

April 2, 2013
Edit
Jo Nathan

^ What JN said. As for lynching today, we don't really need to because the ratio is pretty favorable at this point. However, we're not going to get much more information from the night, if any at all, so No Killing and waiting doesn't accomplish a whole lot either. The only thing we should make sure to do is not rush into a kill, because those always end up badly.

Edit
White Thunder

The only thing we should make sure to do is not rush into a kill, because those always end up badly.

Haven't ended so bad this game; however, Xhin turned out being an Alien, Cas a Mafia member...

Of course, it could be just a string of lucky breaks.

I did not know that Hindenburg would have also voted similarly.

But if you're convinced that Hindy is a fellow Townie, then you would know that Hindy would vote the same way. There is no reason not too even if Hindy is Mafia or Alien. There is just no way to tell.

Mafia is a game of deception, skill, and intrigue. Some play it one way, others play it another... I'm not saying what you're doing is wrong, but it does lead to conflicting results.

Has the UFO Hunter discovered the last alien yet? The sooner we take care of that the sooner we can go after the Mafia without distraction. Or maybe we'll get lucky again and let the Mafia take care of that for us... {:P}

I am a little concerned about Roxas trying to drag me down with him and I would appreciate if the hunter would validate me if s/he hasn't already.

I guess we must address this. Maybe he was lying, maybe he wasn't- are you a townie?

April 2, 2013
Edit
White Thunder

Yes. I'm not sure what Roxas had planned, but if I had to guess, I'd say he targeted an alien thinking s/he was a townie, and decided to throw someone else under the bus to throw the trail off and keep us busy. But he's put me in an awkward position and I'd like to nip it in the bud if I can.

In regards to Jo Nathan, I see two possibilities: Roxas either said that to throw us off, or he told the truth after attempting to kill Jo for being a regular townie but failed due to guessing his role wrong... meaning he could be the last alien, the double voter, the Outsider, or the UFO hunter (highly doubting the last one, if he was he would have just role-claimed to save his skin).

I think half of the participants have forgotten that we're still playing this game.

I think the April Fool's thing threw them off actually, annoyed them. It never seems to fail that the site suffers a drop in activity after April 1st.

meaning he could be the last alien, the double voter, the Outsider, or the UFO hunter (highly doubting the last one, if he was he would have just role-claimed to save his skin).

You can cross off UFO Hunter because of what you said and you can also cross off Outsider since that role has been claimed (no proof but I don't see a reason to lie). That leaves alien and Double Voter... I'm inclined to go with the latter.

Also:

Seriously considering rescinding my vote now -- I'm pretty positive now that the mere fact of Speed and Hindy speaking and voting nearly simultaneously was just a coincidence, like one saw that the other had been voted for and voted in retaliation. We have just about nine hours left, though, so we need to come to a consensus soon or we'll wind up No Voting and wasting a round.

That said, nine hours to go this round and we still haven't heard from Vany, Frustro, or FAW. It's possible they could be busy, but I do have another theory...
