night 3

Posted January 25, 2015 by Female Alpha Wolf

The coal was quickly running low and it seemed the train was getting slower by the day. Ghowilo stepped out from his car to find Xhin and The Bandit playing an intense game of “Go Fish.” It seemed strange that everything appeared so calm and peaceful when they were getting picked off left and right.

A scream was heard throughout the train and it came from Pirate_Ninja's car. All of the passengers rushed in to find Lady Flare holding herself against the door, pointing at the still body. Speed Bike Pro cursed under his breath while white lancer checked his pockets. A few coins, a paper clip, and lint were the only objects of interest in the first pocket. As he reached into the other pocket however, he froze. Slowly taking out the piece of paper, he read the word aloud. ”... ”Passenger.

You know what amazes me is that the first post from Ghowilo is a kill post. We have 72 hours to get to do this.

Seems to me a real townie would be concerned about other things first.

Like:

1. Why didn't our Doc protect PN?

2. Why are we not concerned about the inactivity of:

EvilGuy0613: 1 post since the game started

Kyon: 2 post since the game started.

And no votes by either.

Sounds like a Host kill to me and I don't care what side their on. If you sign up, you need to play the damn game.

My question is why chief is looking at the inactivity of guys who posted once and twice, yet completely ignored Chaos who has yet to post at all.

In all serious, I wish CtR had spend more energy defending himself and less targeting me and Ghow. He took that lynching WAY to easily.

Also, cheap shot killing PN. I can see why they did, but considering he did not get a chance to post even once, it was pretty mean.

BTW, why didn't the Silencer strike?

You're wrong about him never posting

Chaos Incarnate January 19th, 2015 -- 9:23pm

Maybe I'll get into this more later

Chaos Incarnate Voted for No Kill


yet completely ignored Chaos


That's not a true statement. Plain and simple I just forgot to put him on the list of inactivity.

I've read through the list of post in this game 4 times and my eyes are 30+ years older then yours and they get tired and the wine doesn't help.

So yes you're right Chaos should be on the list of people that have not been activite.

Just because I didn't post for one day round doesn't mean I'm inactive or not playing. I may not have been active last day round for reasons but I usually don't post much towards the beginning anyways as I usually don't have much to add.

Considering the large amount of activity that went on last day...I may possibly have something to add....hopefully.

January 25, 2015
Edit
EvilGuy0613

I'm kinda here. I just have little to add, or I'm busy/feeling too depressed to make an assessment and act on it. And there really isn't much for me to go on here either.

Chaos Incarnate

Unfortunately there's nothing too surprising here. It does seem a little odd that Ghowilo is pushing for a lynch so soon, even if Hidenburg isn't the worst choice. However, even though I do think that the Journalist's article was suspect, I'd still rather lynch Hidenburg over Ghowilo.

Sounds like a Host kill to me and I don't care what side their on. If you sign up, you need to play the damn game.

I strongly agree with this. Coming in and trying (and failing) to be funny is not the same thing as actually participating. Simply posting in the thread should not be the bare minimum to avoid a host kill. You don't have to write a novel or anything, but saying something that is actually game related would be nice.

January 25, 2015
Edit
The Bandit

Since the people have spoken...

Depending on how this round goes, I will consider a host kill next day round.

In his defense, Kyon has been at PAX this weekend. Not excusing anything prior to that however.

The problem I have with using Hindy as a litmus test for the Novelist is that, even if he IS mafia, there's nothing stopping the Novelist from being an epic memelord the rest of the game. Remember, their goal is to provoke lynches, not side with any one team (and any one who plays it that way is doing it incorrectly).

1. Why didn't our Doc protect PN?


Perhaps hezekiah was the Doc. Either that or they just wanted to protect someone they deemed a higher priority. There were a couple people bringing up the possibility of the mafia silencing one of their own, after all.

Let's read an excerpt from this new novel, shall we?

Chapter 2: Silence of the lamb

The next suspect on the list; Xhin, after all he was the owner of the train, why has he not been able to do anything about this robbery? How does the owner of this train not have the keys to access the engine room? Further investigation shows that Xhin was in massive debt . The train was also carrying valuable cargo in one of the compartments. Was he in on it?

PN, the passenger that had the crap scared out of him the day before, was found dead. Poor guy didn't even have a chance. Did he somehow find out that someone, maybe Xhin was part of this robbery? The detective only knew one thing for sure, Hinenburg sure has a bladder problem, he goes to the bathroom more than a fat person visits the all-you-can-eat bar.

If the journalist is trying to provoke lynches, they are doing a poor job of it. All we are getting is irrelevant information, pointless speculation, and subtle nonsense.

I can't even tell if the journalist watched Xhin or Hindy last night, because they commented on both.

So you're only playing this game to kill Hindenburg without knowing his role or the effect it would have on the town if his is a Townie?

Have I ever done anything to deserve this kind of treatment? Why do so many people want me dead like a bitch? Both Ghowilo and the journalist want me dead. Coincidence? Take a look at the back of a dollar bill if you want the answer. Hint: Illuminati, which sounds like illumination. Ghowilo, which sounds like someone saying "glow" with their mouth full. I'll let you people do the math.

What's so blatant about the information being said? What is it that they're saying that you know for a fact to be misinformation?

January 26, 2015
Edit
Ghowilo

I think Speed and Bandit bring up a good point. Ghow's loyalty to the obviously untrustworthy journalist is fishy, especially since he is so loyal he is willing to lynch a person over nothing but there concern for said journalist's integrity. Also odd that both seem to have an agenda against Hindenburg who has done nothing to be suspicious other then being named in a dangerous news article.

Ghow, you have some explaining to do here, because at this point, I'm more inclined to take you out over Hindy or Bandit. While I don't think you are Mafia, I DO think you are bad news and too dangerous to keep alive.

Let me rephrase that first line. I think HIndenberg and Bandit have a good point.

The Rogue Wolf

I never said I know anything for a fact. The article could be correct, I don't know, but I believe that the Journalist is just saying shit to try to get a lynch started. For Christ's sake, did you read the article?

For one, he tries to implicate Xhin with a bunch of bullshit that doesn't actually say anything game related. He doesn't even specifically say whether he checked Xhin or not. There's nothing in there that is relevant to any of us, but his tone is still trying to make Xhin seem suspicious. For two, his language about Hidenburg suggests that he actually knows Hidenburg left his house more than once:

The detective only knew one thing for sure, Hinenburg sure has a bladder problem, he goes to the bathroom more than a fat person visits the all-you-can-eat bar.

The Journalist doesn't know that, of course. There's no way he would know that.

Based on what he has said, I think Xhin didn't leave his house last night. Hidenburg is still up in the air. However, the way he's writing his articles makes me believe that, even if he was telling the truth about Hidenburg, I don't want trust him in future rounds.

January 26, 2015
Edit
The Bandit

I guess "further investigation" does imply that Xhin was the target, but there's still no specific line saying "Xhin stayed in his room" or "Xhin left his room." It's just nonsense.

January 26, 2015
Edit
The Bandit

I'm inclined to agree that the Journalist is likely not being honest. I thought the exact same thing as Bandit about what the Journalist said about Xhin--they're trying to make him look suspicious without actually saying anything about what he did.

I don't think it's at all strange that PN wasn't protected last night--as Feral pointed out yesterday, his innocence was far from certain. Definite bummer not actually getting to say anything the entire game--I've been there before, and it's not fun!

Interesting not seeing a Silenced target--FAW, does that mean that no one was silenced, or that you're not planning on telling us who was silenced anymore? We can probably conclude that Hezekiah was not the Watcher if the Silencer stayed home, since there's no real reason not to take your action. Or they could just be inactive...

You thinking I have any sort of allegiance with the journalist is actually quite funny. However, that's not the case I don't really give a shit about him. I also don't really care about any of you in particular, let's just say I'm here for the ride, doing my own thing. I'm not mafia, though I'll wager I'll get votes for posting this anyways, it's whatever. I do hope to make it to Vegas though, so we really should kill off the mafia if we can. As is though, I can't make heads or tails of whose who, so I'm just throwing some cards out there and seeing if anyone is willing to play.

I've been out of the loop for the past couple days so I'll have to catch up on this round and the end of round 2, but there definitely seems to be some funny business going on here.

For one thing, I find Ghowilo's behavior this round strikingly similar to his behavior in the last game when he was Mafia and voted off. Did he ever act like this previously when he was innocent? I'm having a hell of a time recollecting and I'm only in my 20s... {fp} Of course my previous suspicions of him might be affecting my judgement so idk.

I am about 90% sure that Ghowilo isn't Mafia. Although killing him may not hurt the Town, we have bigger fish to fry.

I have rereads the previous rounds and have a few suspicions. But one that was standing out to me was Lightvane. I need to go over them again.

Lady Flare

To the town: Lady Flares right and I applaud the fact that she managed to figure me out. Or at least I think she did, idk if she actally did but it seems like it. But yeah, I'm not a threat.

To the mafia: id like to ask yall to let me live for a while. I'm not a threat to you for real either. I suck at this whole figuring out who's who and have so far just thrown out random names with Wells accusations.

To the journalist: I may die tonight, so if you want to watch me and report on who visits me, that could help your influence with the town.

To the doctor: don't protect me, I'm not really useful to anyone but myself.

Ghowilo

Ghow, if you aren't Mafia, they would be incredibly stupid to kill you. It's Mafia-team101 that you don't kill the people the town is suspicious of. Keeps them off your team's back.

Also, Lady Flare may very well be your Mafia colleague trying to defend you.

Ghowilo

I...honestly don't know what to make of Ghowilo. He tends to play a bit out-of-the-box every game, whether he's Mafia or not. I would like to point out that, while I agree Ghow is unlikely to be killed tonight (if he's not Mafia, he's been a useful distraction for them thus far), it would be pretty pointless for the Watcher or Journalist to visit the person who gets Nightkilled anyway as long as Jesse James is alive.

Anyway, so far it's looking like either Lightvayne or Xhin are silenced this round, or no one. Everyone else has spoken. Although if Xhin were silenced, you'd think the Journalist would have given us something, at least.

January 27, 2015

Also, I think it would be better to vote for a less active player at this point. With the Silencer out there, we may get to a point where we need all the votes we can get, and I'm just not sure about Ghow. Worth noting that we're going to come up to mislynch-and-lose territory very soon.

It seemed the bickering would not end. On and on the passengers spoke, tossing fingers this way and that. Suddenly, all of them grew quiet. In unison, they turned their attention upon Chaos Incarnate. He saw that oh so familiar look in their eyes: they were thirsty for blood. More specifically his blood. (They were probably also just thirsty in general, I mean, they've been on this train for a while...)

As they took one step forward, Chaos Incarnate took two steps back. ”Hey, hey... Can't we just talk this out?”

But none of them listened. It was time to take out the trash... and clean the bathroom... and sweep the floor. As they tossed him from the train, one of the passengers pulled off his coat. Within the pocket, they found not a train ticket, but a wanted poster. At the very top in big letters read: WANTED: Butch Cassidy.
