minigame 1 lovers thread

Posted April 29, 2014 by MajorasMask9

Hey you two lovebirds, welcome to your own special room aboard the S.S. Gigantic ;). Reserved only for the Lovers hezekiah and EvilGuy0613, the two of you can do lovey-dovey things in here, like talk mafia strategy and theorize about the killers. Mmm... talk about romantic :$.

The two of you share one bulletproof vest. If either of you are targeted for a kill, the bulletproof vest will save you. You will then promptly throw it away. If either of you end up dying, the other will become so deeply saddened that they will kill themself...

Sigh... don't let that happen... I want to believe in love...

My bad guys, I made a bit of a mistake in the second paragraph. Each night, you have to choose which of you will wear the bulletproof vest. It still goes away after withstanding one shot.

Sigh... this thread brings back memories...

Hi Apollo, I'll remember you always.

Evil, I think it'd be wiser for you to wear the vest more than me, at least toward the start of the game here; since I was killed way at the start, I'm guessing I'll be less of a target.

How does the Hooker interact with the two of us?

Oh gosh, hezekiah, you make my face all red and my toes all tingly.

How does the Hooker interact with the two of us?


Meant to actually address this because Majora and I talked about it, I also figured the Role Priority list sort of indicated it but I know it wasn't too clear ^_^ You both are immune to the Hooker, so the use of the Bulletproof Vest won't be affected by whether or not the Hooker targets either one of you.

Oh my first the Hooker has the ability to "Role Block" then the hooker can't "Role Block" the lovers? Whoever created this set up is a genius haha.

Being serious now.

I suppose me wearing the vest is a good option. I don't think it matters too much but I'll wear it tonight just to be safe.

Good evening, Lovers, I hope I'm not interrupting anything... (:$)

You may now select who receives the bulletproof vest. Wasn't sure if you were referring to EvilGuy getting the vest for Night 0, but regardless, a reiteration of who will receive it tonight would be nice {:P}

Well I don't think I really said anything this day that would make mafia want to take me out. hezekiah, you on the other hand were on to something....well just a little bit. Just to be safe though I think you should wear the vest tonight.


What do you think?

EvilGuy0613

Yeah, I'll wear the vest tonight.

I don't think that Bandit's initial statement last round (quoted below for ease of reference) was very indicative of guilt, but I've said in the past that I dislike No Kills except in certain specific situations. I think Vandy's worth keeping an eye on, his questioning of my vote feels weirdly worded.

We have a lot of roles to give us information (especially the Vigilante), so I see absolutely no reason to try and play risky this game. If we have slight suspicions, I hope the Vig will follow through on them in the night. Otherwise, I'm happy No Killing until we get something concrete.

Well aren't you a bit of a lucky guy hezekiah, it seems the bulletproof vest you wore last night saved your life!

That said, the bulletproof vest is now gone for the duration of the game. Stay safe, and we hope you enjoy your time on the S.S. Gigantic :).

I find it more likely that the mafia tried to frame Bandit by killing me, than that the mafia wanted me dead for targeting one of their own.

I don't think we're in too good of a position at the moment but then again I could just be being paranoid. I forgot how many roles have bulletproof roles this game but if it's just us then people might have figured you're 1/2 of the Lovers hezekiah. (It seems like people think you were saved because of the bullet proof vest and not by the doctor.) Since we count as two kills it is likely we're on the mafia's kill list.


But maybe it's not all bad. If everyone does figure out your one of the lovers there's a possibility that the doctor can try and protect you this coming night or maybe we can convince the doctor.

EvilGuy0613

Well I forgot that we weren't the only role with a vest but I don't think that changes too much though.

SDYoshi is worth a look tomorrow.

Nutmeg's reply 1398993485 sounds like something the Doctor would say.

I'm guessing the new Nice Whisperer will be sending me a message tonight. It can't end up being too terribly helpful for us, but it'll be another confirmed innocent (well, unless he dies).

May 2, 2014
hezekiah

Ugh wasn't able to post at all. Internet has been being really poor lately.

Anyways, I agree that SDYoshi is worth a look at. He seems way to eager to get somebody killed. Also Bandit is acting really suspicious. He seems really extreme about not wanting to lynch. Still not wanting to lynch anyone on day two kind of seems unnatural to me.

If we do end up surviving the night we should possible try to vote him to get some kind of reaction.

..........well there goes both of my suspicions...

No reason not to trust Dooku here... but want to see what you have to say about this:

Assuming they still have their bulletproof vest, the lovers can tell the doctor which lover to protect, while the other uses their vest. But won't that guarantee we lose the doctor? Well, not if the doctor actually protects himself instead. Mafia will have to guess correctly who is unprotected.


Now, obviously the Doctor knows that I had a bulletproof vest back on Night 1. Therefore, he knows that whichever of us we claim will wear the vest will NOT be wearing the vest. However, I'm guessing the mafia would believe our claim since we wouldn't risk doubling up vest and Doctor protections on one of us.

Here's another idea: I (or you?) reveal as a Lover, but the other conceals as a Townie. This would afford us slightly more protection, as the mafia wouldn't want to risk taking out another Townie they could conceal themselves among.

Another concern: two mafia could claim to be the Lovers when we approach endgame, hoping to get the two of us lynched and possibly end the game immediately. I doubt that's very likely, given the high risk of it backfiring on them given the extent to which we have each been read as innocent by the town.

Regardless of if you decide to support my suggestion or not, I'd appreciate it if you made some mention of my idea that the Nice Whisperer should send me a message to confirm identity; that might lead some others to weigh in on it with their perspectives.

Hmm well if the Mafia's been paying attention they might have figured there's a 50/50 chance that you're 1/2 of the lovers do to the bullet proof vest but being that we've survived two days since the attack I'm guessing they may think you're the Bulletproof Townie instead.

If we're all 100% about this mass claim deal then I think it may be best if either you claimed to be Bulletproof Townie or Townie and I'll come out as the lover. It seems people think you were protected by a bullet proof vest in not the doctor so yeah. (Most believe your innocent as well.)

If the doctor ends up dying this coming night however, I not sure if we should go through with mass claim as it's a pretty risky situation.

(I'm wondering if the Nice Whisperer is even active, haven't heard any thing about them sending anything to anyone.)

Well, I just received the following from Majora through the notifications system: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/5049139/whisperer522925.txt

This message is sent to both hez and Count Dooku from the nice whisperer: Hi


May 7, 2014
hezekiah

I think it is better for you to be the one claiming Lover, if we end up having a full roleclaim. You'd essentially say that you're not saying the other, in order to protect the both of us. Obviously you'd refute anybody else who claimed to be a Lover, and ideally you'd be trusted over them. I'll avoid mentioning that at all, try to distance myself from the Lover role.
