minigame 1 day 3 the pool of bloodshed

Posted May 3, 2014 by MajorasMask9

The time was 1:34am. Xhin, The Bandit, and SDYoshi--all unable to sleep--found themselves together at the S.S. Gigantic's outdoor pool for a late night swim.

"Hey... you guys nervous at all?" Xhin said to the other two. "You know... the scallywags that are apparently on board... Aren't you guys worried? What if it's one of us next?"

"Ha...! I'm not afraid of any scallywags!" The Bandit retorted.

"Yoshi!" SDYoshi said in agreement.

Xhin could sense a bit of doubt in their words. But he respected their unwavering air of certainty. That they weren't ready to show their fear or signs of weakness. As if to say, "if we want to triumph over the scallywags, we need to stand our ground and stay strong!"

"I mean, what are the odds any of us will be killed anyway?" The Bandit said.




Suddenly, a shot was fired toward the pool. Xhin and SDYoshi looked around frantically and saw that the bullet went straight through The Bandit's Townie skull. Blood dripped down and seeped into the pool water, creating what appeared to be a thick red cloud.

"Oh god! Oh god!!" Xhin yelled. "We've got to get out of here!"

"Yoshi!" SDYoshi said in agreement.

But it was then that yet another shot was heard.

"Yoshiiiiiiii!" SDYoshi yelled in agony. A bullet had passed straight through his chest. Blood spewed out of the Yoshi's Townie body, as did his life. His life spewed out of his body. SDYoshi was no more. The blood of both SDYoshi and The Bandit had turned the pool into... a pool of bloodshed...

Fear overcame Xhin. He ran off as fast as he could, and sought out Helmsman Majora and Sailor Apollo, alerting them of the incident.



The next morning, another spur of the moment meeting was called by Majora and Apollo to address this very serious series of events.

"We regret to inform you all that due to circumstances out of our control, the S.S. Gigantic's pool will be closed for the remainder of the day. We know many of you love swimming, and had a lot of fun in the pool for the first couple of days of the cruise, so we're deeply sorry about this inconvenience. But this is not the end of the pool, no. Not by any means. The pool will be opened again by tomorrow at the very latest. Do not give up hope. Together, we'll get through this. To celebrate the eventual re-opening of the pool, we invite you all to a pool party tomorrow afternoon! Think of it as our way of showing that we care about our passengers."

The Helmsman and Sailor gave a smile to the passengers and walked off, leaving them alone to discuss a plan of action. What will they do...

    Life's path is never straight.

    Maybe we should be asking why we have not heard from out Cop.

    And why we have some people that should have been Host Killed after Day Round 2 and were not?
    Maybe be one of them could be Mafia and are taking a low profile approach.

    And why we have some people that should have been Host Killed after Day Round 2 and were not?


    So far everyone playing has posted at least once since Day 1. While Apollo and I will be cracking down on inactivity, we're definitely going to be a bit more lenient due to the faster rounds. Host kills will only be issued if things get very bad.

    Was Bandit actually host killed, or...


    Killed by either the mafia or Impulsive Vigilante. Not host-killed.

    Are people host killed if they don't speak for how long? Another n00b question: Are we to be suspicious of people who don't speak or just kinda give them benefit of the doubt of not being online?

    Rapunzel

    Well, usually the rule we've been going by is "if you don't say anything for two day rounds you're eligible for a host kill." This game is a bit different because it's faster. We're still going to have some punishment for two rounds of inactivity, but it probably won't be a host kill unless it gets worse.

    As far as being suspicious of them for not talking, usually we hope that the host-kills prevent players from flying under the radar by just not talking. But I guess in the end it's up to you guys what to do to weed out people that aren't as active :/. Ideally that would never be a problem though :). Ideally...

    Rapunzel

    ...I think I can shed some light on the Mafia. I was Whispered to on Night 1, and the Whisper said:

    Hey darling, we know you's the prosecutor. Inconspicuously name your target, maybe we'll help.


    I know I just roleclaimed in stating this, but I urge you to remember that I'm third-party, and whether I'm alive at the end or not doesn't matter when it comes down to it. I will not, however, state who my target is.

    That said, I think this sheds searchlights on at least one Mafia member. I've only know a few people to ever use the word "Darling" in a game of Mafia, but something about that message screams Rapunzel to me (that's Rapunzel the player, not the fairytale). I cannot rule anyone else out (see what happened last game when Bubba the Journalist tried to fool us into thinking that the Journalist was actually one of the new-folks-to-GTx0 by misleadingly referring to Apollo as a "he"; the Mafia could be doing something like that this time around), but seeing as a) we have far shorter rounds and b) the odds are stacked higher against the Town than on a Vegas blackjack table, I feel I must...

    I don't think I've used the word darling at all this game? But no I'm not the naughty whisperer; plus while I could possibly have written "darling" (though I don't think I have?) I would never use the word "inconspicuously" if you notice how I talk haha

    Thoughts:

    1. hezekiah is town-sided, and I have a strong hunch he is the doctor
    2. Jo Nathan was voted for by SDYoshi last day round and didn't defend himself, so he looks suspicious in my eyes
    3. ^The same can be said for Bubba, who was also voted for by the town-sided hezekiah
    4. Lady Flare is behaving suspiciously. She closely followed The Bandit's footsteps in terms of voting last round right before he was revealed to be townie. Perhaps this was an effort to appear innocent
    5. Even though he may have given us valuable information, Black Yoshi has to go soon. I can't think of any good reason a town-sided player would claim Prosecutor, so he is either mafia-sided or actually the Prosecutor, a role that ultimately complicates the situation for town-sided voters
    6. If Black Yoshi is Prosecutor, then Rapunzel is most likely his target

    This feels like a weak argument to me, admittedly I've not had much chance to study how Rapunzel talks but it does seem like you're jumping to conclusions a bit...

    Then again that's kind of how I play, get a gut feeling and just go with it so I guess I can't criticize this too much. I guess I just didn't expect it from you. Although I do believe you're being honest about the quote and your role, and if you're lying then you deserve bonus points for such a risky move when this game is over.

    These fast rounds really don't sit too well with my usual style, but I agree a no kill at this stage is dangerous (we usually say that by round 3 anyway) so I'll issue a vote for someone before the round is over.

    We need to start getting our ducks in a row here. We have 4 votes for 4 different people.

    hez, you seem the most innocent right now because of what happened Night 1. Do you have any leads you would like to share? And to the Cop: if you roleclaim, the Doctor can protect you.

    With these short rounds, a lot of people seem to be trying to fly under the radar. Grrr. I'm going to pull my vote for now and I'll try to be back before the round ends to make a final one.

    Considering that Black Yoshi is the prosecutor we should vote off a maf sided person first. That being said, I agree with Lady Flare and Hez is the only semi innocent person here and I would like to hear his thoughts. And yea there is a hooker which does suck so it's up to the cop what to do.

    2. Jo Nathan was voted for by SDYoshi last day round and didn't defend himself, so he looks suspicious in my eyes


    I mentioned this previously, but I'd again like to point out that he offered no sort of explanation or reason for voting for me. I can't provide a defense when no evidence is presented. Besides, he changed his vote so there was no reason to defend myself anyway.

    EvilGuy is doing the same thing now. It's like all the new guys dislike me or something... (cry)

    Extra details, we're aiming for a 7pm ET round update.

    Edit
    MajorasMask9

    I completely missed that there was a Hooker in this game...okay, since that's the case, the Cop should probably not reveal just yet unless they have an actual Guilty verdict. I would like to point out that we have only 4 vanilla Townies at this point so a roleclaim is not entirely out of the question as a good strategy. Certainly I think we should roleclaim if we get our backs against the wall next round...it's an option this round, but with a couple of Bulletproof roles as well as a Doctor there may be too much of a possible upside of preventing a Mafia kill tonight.

    I agree with lynching someone today although I'm not ready to cast a vote just yet...I need to actually go through and re-read previous rounds to see if anything jumps out at me. The nice thing about this scenario is that previously, if we ms-lynched we would have a chance of simply being dead after the Night round (if one of the Mafia/Vig hit the Lovers and the other hit an innocent). Now, however, I think that if we mis-lynch it would be better for the Vig to play it safe and hit Black Yoshi. I'm always wary about the Prosecutor in close games because there's usually a lot of upside to them siding with the Mafia in that situation rather than the Town. I agree that Rapunzel is likely his target (like nutmeg, I don't see much of a reason for a Town-sided player to false claim Prosecutor), but she's still an okay lynch target just because there's no reason the Prosecutor's target can't also be Mafia. I'm not thrilled with the idea, though, unless I find her suspicious myself when I go back to re-read.

    I also agree that the cop shouldn't claim until they have a guilty verdict, although with the Prophet in play the Mafia have potential role detection so they need to be wary of that as we get further in the game.

    Xhin Changed his vote to Redack


    After what happened last game, when a couple of mafia voted for me as a joke and then I ended up dead by the end of Day 1, these kinds of "random" votes just annoy me.

    Edit
    Lady Flare

    eh, I feel like a town-sided power role could claim Prosecutor if he were feeling saucy. It gives the mafia reason to look elsewhere at killin' time, granting said power role more time to...do power role stuff. Even better if it prompted the Naughty Whisperer to get in contact and potentially spill something incriminating. The Prosecutor isn't affected all that much by someone falsely claiming his role, so there's not really much incentive to out them as a liar if that happens...unless his target is the offender in question. I'd think he would sooner concern himself with not revealing his own identity, though, as all that does is make it harder for him to push for a lynch of his target.

    in any case, I wouldn't lynch hezekiah or Black Yoshi at this point. The former because he's the closest we have to a confirmed innocent, and the latter because I think it's more likely he's telling the truth - which would mean his death brings us no closer to a victory. Possibly useful as a neutral Vigilante target if fear of hitting an innocent is high, but not a lynch target.

    Speed Bike Pro Mafia? Or Townie. He tends to get bored of the game if he’s a Townie.

    Xhin Mafia? I‘ve only played a game once with Xhin and he was fairly inactive. So the fact he is taking more interest could mean is Mafia or he has more free time IRL right now.

    chiefsonny Mafia? Again I don’t know. He tends not to post too much. But he wanted some of the inactive players host killed. I see that as bad for the Town especially if they are Townies. I’m starting to worry about the ratio.


    Kyon Mafia? He’s more active, but he hasn’t said a whole of anything useful. I know he’s a jokester but…

    Vandy Mafia? He hasn’t been very active. I’m not really for killing inactive players (see what I said about chief) but this strikes me as odd.


    white lancer Not sure. He’s trying to be helpful. But we saw how that worked for Majora last game. But he wanted the Cop to reveal last round. And he’s a very good player and would know that the Hooker could effectively block the Cop even if the Doctor could save him.

    Jo Nathan I was leaning toward Mafia with Jo, But the Mafia tend to be really on top of things and he had forgotten about the Lovers being in play. So maybe not.

    Moonray The fact that it’s Day 3 and he’s still alive is always worrying. But that doesn’t make him Mafia either. He hasn’t tried to throw anyone under the bus point a finger at anyone yet so I don’t know.

    nutmeg94 Not sure. I’ve never played again him before. But I would put him in the suspicious circle just because.

    Lightvayne Not sure.

    Rapunzel Not sure.

    Bubba Townie He’s not showing too much interest in the game. I know he flies under the radar a lot in the early game. But he didn’t try to defend himself when he had votes against him last round. Usually Mafia try a little harder to escape the noose.

    EvilGuy0613 Townie A guess. We almost didn’t hear from him last game when he was Mafia. This game he is making his presence known a little more.

    Count Dooku Townie Again he wasn’t on top of things last round so I’m leaning toward Town.

    Pirate_Ninja sort of inactive because of RL stuff but I’m guessing Townie. His posts seem like they do when He’s Town sided If that makes sense.

    Hindenburg (Townie I really try to look on the bright side when it comes to this guy. He’s actually trying to be helpful this time. So I’m inclined to think he might be trying to help the Town.

    hezekiah Probably innocent

    Lady Flare Townie I know this for sure!

    Black Yoshi Prosecutor?

    I’m going to keep my speculation as to who the Vigilante might be to myself. I don’t need to do the Mafia’s work for them.

    I have to go and probably won't be back before end of round. So here's my vote. And if you do decide to lynch me. I hope the Vigilante hits a Mafia tonight or it won't look good for the Town.

    I would like to apologize for any inactiveness on end. I'm going to be on a 10 day long vacation so any activity on my end will be pretty much done on my phone. Kinda hard to keep track of things that way. I'll read through the thread when I get a chance and hopefully have some good input on this

    May 4, 2014
    Edit
    Lightvayne

    Alright, I've glanced through the previous rounds and I *think* the better targets are Bubba and Lady Flare...Bubba hasn't really said much of note, but it is a little weird to me that his response today was 'I almost got lynched! Crazy!' and nothing else. I certainly think it's unlikely that he's a power role so we probably wouldn't be losing much even if he was Town-sided...but I'm still really hesitant on this one because Flare actually made a decent point--I remember him being fairly proactive in pretending to figure things out when he won as Mafia a while back. That was in the later rounds, though, and I'm pretty sure he was under the radar (as Dooku suggested) in the early game, so he's still on my suspect list.

    As for Lady Flare, I simply feel like some of the things she's said (or more accurately, the way she's said them) come off as trying a little too hard to sound innocent. I don't know, some of them just don't feel natural to me...however, the fact that she just went through all the players in the game makes me hesitate just a little bit. I feel like most Mafia players aren't willing to go through all the players like that because it's risky--if they get killed, people will go through everything they've said with a fine-toothed comb to get any possible information, and they might inadvertently out one or more of their teammates. I also agree with some of her analysis in the prior post, such as with Pirate_Ninja (for the record, I missed the Hooker because I was trying to rush catch up and contribute after being a bit too inactive :) ). But...why pick Lightvayne of all people to vote for if he's in you're 'not sure' category, when there are other players you seem to be more suspicious of?

    As for other players, Rapunzel is hard to read for me right now. Most of her posts have been joke posts or not particularly helpful, but there have been a lot of joke posts in general so hers only stick out because of Black Yoshi's claim. I'm a little hesitant to vote out a new player this early based on such tenuous evidence (and since I don't think Yoshi is that cutthroat, I think that adds even more credence to his Prosecutor claim). I'm not sure Xhin has made a serious post at all this game, even including the posts that say 'but seriously,' so I'm a little nervous there. I think chief and probably nutmeg are more likely innocent--haven't played with nutmeg before, but I liked his (?) analysis above. I didn't, however, think Jo Nathan was particularly suspicious for not addressing SD Yoshi's accusation since, well, there wasn't really anything to address.

    I would like to hear more from several players, particularly Redack. Also, Speed Bike Pro, Xhin, and Bubba.

    But she voted for him. And then said it was a guess and a hope that it would stir conversation.

    Speed Bike Pro Mafia? Or Townie. He tends to get bored of the game if he’s a Townie.


    Well since he has not posted in over 2 days, maybe he's bored.

    But she voted for him.

    A couple times in the past I have ignored what hezekiah has said about who was what and it came back to bit me in the butt. Going to follow his lead this time and hope it does not come back to haunt me and the rest town.

    Oh, I wasn't trying to imply you were playing the game wrong or anything like that, Rapunzel. Posts where you're just joking around are perfectly fine in Mafia, and it's certainly understandable to ask questions in your first game here! I'm just trying to get a read on you and making observations as they come to me, so don't take offense or anything. ^_^

    What makes you more suspicious of Bubba, Jo? I could see either or both being Mafia...or I could be completely wrong, so more opinions are always appreciated!

    Well, I for one am going to try to be more active next round, now that there's been a certain amount of talk. I'm not sold on Lady Flare being mafia.
