game ix fisherman thread

Posted July 25, 2012 by Xhin

You are the fisherman. Once per night round, you may choose to "fish" for a certain item. If you catch it, you may use it at any time. Below are a list of items, the percentage chance of catching them, and what they do:

10% -- Syringe -- You may attempt to save one person from dying.
15% -- Magnifying Glass -- You may investigate someone's guilt or innocence.
20% -- Gun -- You may kill someone.
20% -- Bulletproof Vest -- This will keep you from dying by the hand of the mafia or the vigilante exactly once.
25% -- GPS -- If your target has a night action, this will tell you who they targeted.
25% -- Binoculars -- If your target was targeted by a night action, this will tell you who targeted them.

You may only have one of each item for the duration of the game; choosing to fish for it again after you've already caught it is an invalid move.

Wow...so, I'm like Petey Piranha in Mario Kart here -- I've got every single role in the game at once (albeit limited).

Also, I'm a fisherman but my name isn't John...

I think I'm going to try for the Bulletproof Vest right off the bat -- best to have protection whilst fishing for other items, especially since the chances are so slim.

Wtf, you actually got it. I ran a random number generator at between 1-5 and bet on 1, and that's what showed up.

Anyway, you now have a Bulletproof Vest. Would you like to wear it now?

Will it last until someone attempts to kill me? If not, can I save it for later?

July 27, 2012

Yes, all items last forever.

...until I use them, of course (or in the case of the Vest, until someone tries to kill me).

In that case, I may as well use the Vest now, seeing it will last until I'm shot at.

I think I'll fish for the Gun tonight, even if I don't use it right away -- I have my suspicions about #85, but I'll save the investigations for the Cop, and I'll have to see what the Sniper does tonight.

Alright then...let's go for the Magniying Glass this time around. Don't know who I'd use it on, but all the better to check the validity of our claimed Cop if need be.

Provided I can fish for the same item two nights in a row (so long as I didn't catch it on the first night), I'll try for the Magnifying Glass again.

Wow, you actually caught the magnifying glass. You must be the luckiest man on the planet.

Remember, you can use it at any time.

During the Night rounds, I assume, or can it be used during the day as well?

August 4, 2012
Edit
Black Yoshi

It can be used at any time. I have a way of checking this thread via the mafia panel directly, so I'll try to check it often.

August 4, 2012

Okay, then...mayhap I'll use the Magnifying Glass now to see if #85 is in fact our Cop...

Black Yoshi

Actually, can I take that back? On second thought, I'd prefer not to use that until tonight; perhaps I misunderstood what you meant by "anytime" -- you meant anytime during the night rounds, right? Or anytime during the game, day or night?

August 5, 2012
Edit
Black Yoshi

Anytime during the game, day or night. I'll rescind your magnifying glass usage (fortunately I wasn't here).

You may now choose to fish for a specific item you haven't caught yet (your luck so far is ridiculous).

You may also use the Magnifying Glass at any time to check someone's guilt or innocence.

Well then...it appears we've got everyone except the Godfather down for the count. Sort of makes the Magnifying Glass useless, as everyone would come up Innocent (right?).

In that case, let's fish for the Gun once more...

And yeah, consider that item worthless. I'm considering taking the cop thread down too.

You actually have a decent chance (1/7) of ending this game before anyone expects it to end. You'd be a hero for sure. Seems worth it, doesn't it?

Ain't that the truth. I've got a few suspects on my list, but since the gun is, well, a one-shot deal (pun intended), I'd like to think it over before making any decisions.

August 6, 2012

Black Yoshi

First up is Zanic. A few day-rounds ago, a lot of us were damned quick to jump on the Zanic-train after he said some things we found suspicious...but then we all turned on Hezekiah and look where it's landed us. With only the Godfather to find.

Second, CtR. Granted, he's been talking a lot more this game than the last couple of games when he was Mafia, but half the Town seems damned sure that his actions this game are a bit suspicious. Especially since he seems to have no idea what the hell's going on...is that because he's hardly on here, or because he's trying to play us into thinking he's an innocent, clueless Townie?

Lastly, 85. Both Dragon and Redack, whom both were Mafia, were adamant that so was 85; it's entirely possible that they were simply framing him in order to turn the Town against him, but I can't be too sure about that.

Honestly, I don't know which I find more suspicious, CtR's apparent cluelessness or the fact that 85 has practically led us into eliminating Townies the last two rounds...

You know what -- I think I'll fish for yonder GPS tonight...

for the GPS

August 6, 2012
Edit
Black Yoshi

You caught the GPS!

Honestly, I didn't expect you to continue to have good luck. Now everyone is going to think the Fisherman is a useful role >_<

Anyway um, the use of this item should be self-explanatory. Feel free to use it at any time. Same deal with the gun.

August 6, 2012

Fair enough. Let's use it on Zanic then...to use it on 85 would be foolish, since if he IS the cop, he already has a night role.
