Mini 1572 - The Network [Scum Zone]

[The Rufflig]

Wonderful. There is a hider right next to you with a 50/50 shot of hitting you. Let's hope he never uses it. Any other outcome is disadvantageous to us.

I had no idea that cxinlee was a godfather. I'm guessing it was to possibly counter whatever RC hands out on that side of the board. Anyway, I'm a goon. There is little I can do to help.

These 1 node reach kills put us at a big disadvantage. We didn't need additional PR's popping up. I'm doubtful that 'all three observers are actually scum' is going to be a big enough wifom net.

[The Rufflig]

The pasch-scum case is weak. Sure it would explain why sns is alive, but it wouldn't explain porkens. At that point, the only other nodes on the left side would be Aegor and myself.

I can make a weak case for Saki or Snarky to be scum now. If the mafia do not have any powers to kill beyond one node then those are the only two nodes left that would have allowed the mafia to hit all the nodes. It's not good enough to push hard, but it is probably good enough to probe them. I really wouldn't expect it to be that easy as a townie though. At most, I'd think one of those two might be filled by scum. After all, killing cxinlee shouldn't break the game.

Anyhow, I suspect that Snarky will use his ability before we get to that point in the plan. At worst, Snarky will take a pasch lynch off the table. At best, it will end up as a choice between you and pasch as to who gets lynched first.

I take it that you are also a goon? Ugh.

I don't have any better plans, so let's go with yours for now.

[The Rufflig]

Grrr, that should have been Aegor not Saki.

[The Rufflig]

Heh, and Porkens did the same analysis of the network. It's a pity that I can't shoot Saki. Just one shot more than 1 node away from scum would soon discourage town from tracing shots and make our lives easier.

[The Rufflig]

Quick thought. With the ability to change the network confirmed, we might consider a killing. Specifically, Snarky. Either before he has time to pm the mod to hide today or before he has time to state results from hiding yesterday. It is a risky idea as it might derail a Saki lynch for today. So, no pressure. I'm fine with sticking to the plan.

One other kill possibility today is Porkens. With a great deal of luck on our part and an equal dose of stupidity on the town's, we may be able to frame RC for it. We don't know for sure that idk did not open such a link. Altering the game map might not be a visible effect. Hmmm.

@kunkstar7:

If someone did open a new link between nodes, would it be announced or shown on the network map?

Somehow, I don't expect to receive a straight answer to that question - which means the town isn't likely to get one either.

[The Rufflig]

Ouch! So much for that plan. I guess I didn't understand how idk's ability worked. I think I've got it, now.

The two halves of the map are identical, but rotated. Rotate them on top of each other and the masons are in the same position. The inventors are in the same position. Even the scum are in the same position. Only cxinlee didn't have a double. Mirror universe paranoia, strike at the town now! Both inventors can't be town - one of them must be scum.

Yes, let's continue on Saki. No need to disrupt the voting with another death, yet.

No announcement from Snarky, so he probably didn't use the hider ability yesterday.

[The Rufflig]

I'm going to take some heat for that. I should be able to handle it. If not, feel free to throw me to the wolves. I won't mind.

[The Rufflig]

Damn. Snarky hid behind you.

[The Rufflig]

New plan:

current town (7): 5 townies : 2 scum
daykill a mason leaving 4 townies : 2 scum (MYLO).
A mislynch (3:2) will give us an easy win with a daykill (2:2) tomorrow. Alternatively, a no lynch (4:2) means we force the issue by killing the other mason (3:2) - LYLO.

We need 1 more mislynch with this plan. I don't think we can hold out long enough with the old plan. Any thoughts?

---

Any objections?

[The Rufflig]

I'm not opposed, but are you sure you want porkens gone? He was up for a pasch lynch earlier.

[The Rufflig]

Aw, damn it. I forgot that you were the only one still connected to sns. While a ranged kill for a frame job would be a possibility for the town to think about ... no, you're right. It has to be me.

[The Rufflig]

Kill: Porkens

Sorry, Porkens. I would have loved to keep you around instead of sns, but you were on the wrong side of the map.

[The Rufflig]

Well, the suspicions are falling on me much like I expected it would after that kill. Luckily, the kill seemed designed to pull attention from the SC/Pasch debate and towards Aegor and me (especially me). It was just too blatant a frame job on me. Hopefully, the focus will go back to you and Pasch - we've got enough potential votes to win there. If it shifts to me, we're sunk.

Oh, I'm not mentioning mylo. If the town hasn't figured it out, then they deserve to lose unexpectedly.

This game is tough to beat as scum! If we pull it off, kunstar7 owes us both a stiff drink!

[The Rufflig]

I believe kunkstar7 does not show when he is online.

All the townies (except Pasch) are onboard with this lynch. It is unbelievable. I'm probably going to have to vote before Aegor or RC. I don't think they'll trust me to be a hammer at a time of my own choosing. They don't need me to hammer Pasch, anyhow - they can do it themselves.

I hate that this is going to turn into a F5 race. All 3 townies are going to try to vote for you before either of us can submit a kill on sns. I can't be around most weekdays until after work.

[The Rufflig]

Done!
