minigame 1 night 4 an expected death

Posted May 7, 2014 by MajorasMask9

The passengers of the Gigantic were enjoying a relaxing day at the pool party. Until out of nowhere, Count Dooku swam up to Xhin and smacked him in the head with a pool noodle. And just like that, Xhin's body went limp. He was dead.

"Alright everybody, out of the pool!" Sailor Apollo Justice yelled to the passengers. The Sailor and Helmsman pulled Xhin out of the water. They found a soggy note clenched in his hands.

I knew this was coming... I foresaw this! I knew today would be the day.

The day that I died.

I won't give you the satisfaction of murdering me. I'm taking my own life. By the time you read this, I will have taken cyanide pills, and will already be dead. What a shame... all I wanted to do... was live a little longer...


It was obvious to the crew and passengers that Xhin was the Prophet.

Helmsman Majora dragged the body away from the pool, while Sailor Apollo addressed the rest of the passengers:

"Well, that sure was a shame! But hey, pool party's still on!!" Apollo whipped out a portable stereo and hit the play button.




The party went on for hours, and the passengers went along with it...

Yeah I agree nice cop!

Rapunzel

Woohoo! Looks like we are finally getting somewhere. ^_^

Well, good luck Vig. I hope you hit the Mafia Scum.

Doctor, I'd say flip a coin on protecting me VS protecting yourself.

Count Dooku

You should certainly feel free to provide any perspective that you have, Dooku, in case you don't make it through the night. Since you're a power role and all.

I don't have much really {:?} Folks have been a bit less active than I'd like. Also the whole 'no kill' thing made it really easy for the Mafia to just bandwagon along.

One thing I will say - when the doctor and vig reveal tomorrow they need to reveal who they protected/targetted.

We can 'cross reference' to figure out definitively who the Mafia targets were, if they're still alive. This may allow us to verify an innocent player or two.

Also, any suggestions/requests on the investigate target? I fully expect another visit from the hooker, if not being targeted for death, so it may be a moot point.

Count Dooku

Of the people still alive, you found Kyon innocent by your cop report (though there is a godfather). I would just say looking at the people who I haven't seen/heard much from you could check Bubba or Hindenburg (though there is a hooker). ¬_¬

Well, I'm not super confident about any of my suspicions (clearly I was wrong about Flare), but I will say that I'm a little wary of Lightvayne. Bubba's still a potential to me as well, and it also might be nice to get a verdict on Rapunzel since otherwise I wouldn't want to vote her out anytime soon. But really those are players that stick out just a little bit above the rest in my mind rather than an all-out suspicion.

Also, I think nutmeg is an interesting one. I was leaning towards him being innocent at first because he seems to be working at figuring out the game, but at the same time I'm getting a strong sense that this isn't his first Mafia rodeo so he could certainly be crafty enough to fake it. I'm not ruling him out entirely, but I can't get a good read on him.

Might be a good idea to target the new players. Tougher to read.

May 7, 2014
Bubba

I don't have a problem with that, though everyone is new to me hahaha •?•
Also: we are mass claiming on day 5 correct?

May 7, 2014
Rapunzel

Oh my smiley face didn't work ?~(????)

Just to check, is it considered against the rules or bad etiquette to role claim during the night round?

May 7, 2014
nutmeg94

As long as Night Talk is on, there should be no problem with roleclaiming during the Night round. Might not be the best idea, though (depending on what role you are), since ideally we wouldn't want to give the Mafia more information on which to base their kill.

May 7, 2014

Role claiming in the night round is just going to give the mafia the chance to kill off power roles tonight. Plus I'd rather everyone claim in the same thread. Round could end soon and cut off some players.

May 7, 2014
Bubba

Yeah I'm against a roleclaim during the night.

I did get a whisper at some point (this night round, I believe), and it was sent to another player as well.

All it said was "Hi".

[''W]hen the doctor and vig reveal tomorrow they need to reveal who they protected/targetted.

We can 'cross reference' to figure out definitively who the Mafia targets were, if they're still alive. This may allow us to verify an innocent player or two.


I'm not sure that I like the idea of the Doctor sharing his saves with the class. It seems like that'd be of only marginal benefit to the town (if any), since right now only the Doctor and Bulletproof Townie / Lovers know if they still have their vests. Keeping this from the mafia seems like it could only help us. The Vigilante talking about his past targets, however, seems to me to be less dangerous.

May 7, 2014

Doctor and Lovers must stay hidden for the Town to win. Chances are the Vigilante will hit a Town-sided role tonight, and if the Mafia takes out one of the Lovers tomorrow night, and then we mislynch tomorrow, the Mafia wins.

Black Yoshi

I don't think the doctor/lovers can stay hidden successfully if we roleclaim.

Without a roleclaim, chance of Mafia hitting the doctor/lovers is 3/8 (since I'm essentially verified, they know I'm not the doctor for targeting purposes)

If the doctor and lovers roleclaim townie, then that narrows it down to 5 townies, 3 of which are the doctor and lovers. Then the mafia just have to get lucky (which they have, repeatedly, this game).

We either roleclaim or we don't. But a limited roleclaim is useless as far as I'm concerned. You won't protect any power roles.

As for the whole bulletproof vest thing... hadn't considered that. I still think the benefit of knowing exactly who the doctor protected outweighs the risks.

The point of the mass roleclaim, vig info, and doctor info is to give the town a bunch of information to use against the mafia. We're only hurting ourselves by hiding it - once the vig or doctor die that information is beyond our reach.

May 7, 2014
Count Dooku

However, before anyone starts claiming anything we need to run the math again based on whatever happens tonight.

May 7, 2014
Count Dooku

It might be wise to start our roleclaim with what would amount to two buckets: power roles (Cop, Doctor, Vigilante, Whisperer) and non-power roles (Townie, Lover). Of course, that'd leave the Prosecutor (BY?) to be himself, but that's not really an issue.

With the "power role" bucket, basically everything there is verifiable. If there are any extra claimants in that group, we should have only minimal trouble narrowing it down.

With the "not power" bucket, it's basically a way to try and hide our Lovers if we can help it. It'd almost surely require more precise reveals down the road, but it's a place to start.

Obviously, the problem with any roleclaim is the completely unacceptable levels of inactivity we experience.

Also, I'd suggest that the Vigilante could target Black Yoshi for a night kill if he's not reasonably sure of a mafia, because at least that avoids us hitting one of our own.

May 7, 2014

I think it's definitely in our best interests to do a quick reevaluation once the night round ends. Knowing which roles are alive (as well as seeing any prevented kills) may give us a much better idea of what reveals will be most helpful.

May 7, 2014

I feel like a mass roleclaim when the lovers are still in play would be a big shitter, but w/e. The doctor and vigilante info would be pretty nice for people who are actually willing to do any thinking about it though. (not me LOL)
