Cultafia: Game over

[Yosarian2]

Bump.

TSS, anything else to say? Not long ago, you were all paniced and trying to get me to change my mind...and yet you haven't said anything since I explained why I'm suspicious of you.

Or how about you, sly? You have any logical argument that might convince me you're telling the truth and TSS are town?

Is everyone just lurking, waiting for DGB to come in, to see what she'll do?

[the silent speaker]

I don't really know what else to say. I've laid out a plausible roster for Skruffs to have targeted; if you don't believe me, you don't. No one yet has presented a roster for me to recruit. I still don't think you are scum. Possibly Skruffs could have gone after mnowax once and failed instead of getting a hit on beep or whoever -- that would be consistent with him saying how mnowax "would be the logical target last night" -- and with three failures, he

could

be a bare cult leader. But the bottom line is I know he is one, bare or not, and I have to hope you can be convinced before beep comes back. I expect mnowax to be reluctant to give his own cultosity away by joining me even though he needs Skruffs dead, so I'm focusing my hopes on you. If you say no, what's left for me to say?

Also waiting on Sly. I want my answers from him. I don't see how mnowax can be plausibly not cult at this time.

[Norinel]

Prodding everyone except Yos2 and tss, since Beep! is supposed to be back tomorrow.

[Skruffs]

I think that mnowax seemed to be a cult so early on that anyone else trying to recruit him would result in A) cults being exposed (Something that didn't happen until more than three days had passed, I think), and result in no net gain for the cultist who would be trying to recruit him, as monwax would die if both cults wind up targetting him.

What I think happened is:
n1- TSS was blocked so it doesn't matter who he targetted.
n2- aioqwe
n3- sly sly
n4- incinerated nabnab
n5- tried to incinerate me, thinking that mnowax may have actually vigged me once already.

n4 i the tricky one, though. If armlx incinerated nabnab, then TSS probably tried to recruit yosarian2 or beepbeep. I don't htink yosarian2 is in TSS's cult, though, or else he wouldn't be voting him. That leaves either he incinerated nab, or recruited beep. And we'll be finding out today which it is, won't we?

[Beep! Beep!]

I'm baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaack

[Beep! Beep!]

OK so I have to pick between Skruffs and TSS... mmmm...

[Skruffs]

Welcome back Beep! Beep!!
Please catch up and do whatever soon.

[Beep! Beep!]

I want to hammer TSS.

[Skruffs]

Well, if you want me lynched, you are going to have to convince Yosarian2 or Mnowax to unvote TSS, because TSS is at 3, and the person who gets to three first gets lynched at deadline.

If you are town or part of hte headless cult, then you should vote TSS. If you are part of TSS's cult and want to hedge your bets, you should vote him and hope to make a comeback later in the game after me and (possibly) mno are dead.

If you are part of TSS's cult and want to win, then you have to get me lynched, which means you should claim something that you aren't and try to convince Mno or Yos to unvote you.
The best way to try and convince them would be (I think) to claim a roleblocker; it would lead credence to TSS's "There are two vigs" theory because it would lead everyone to think that there might be TWO roles that there are more than one of.

You can also counterclaim SlySly as inquisitor (which is what I thought you were, yesterday), and push that SlySly is actually my recruit trying to badly fake claim to double bluff everyone into thinking he's TSS's recruit.

[Skruffs]

more simulposting!

[Beep! Beep!]

I still have a bit of reading to do but the more I read the heavier the TSS hammer...

[mnowax]

skruffs who are you goin to kill tonight please before beep hammers please

[the silent speaker]

I implore you. Don't do this. It's the last mistake you'll make.

[mnowax]

beep please dont hammer til he says swho he is going to kill

[Skruffs]

I will most likely kill sly sly, or nobody.

[Skruffs]

I'm not going to kill mnowax or yosarian2 because right now they are the least thread. It is possible that B!B! is in a cult too and is hedging her bets or she might be town. If MNOWAX is really a vig, then him shooting me tonight clears him, and it doesn't matter who I kill because I'm dead anyways. I'm a reformed sk for now.

[mnowax]

i am NOT shooting you. it is very possible that i am the only town player left here. and i NEED you to achieve a town win. if i am the only townie left here, which could be possible, i am willing to do a joint win. you shouldn't be like this, i am offering a joint win, and if i do shoot you, the town loses,because i will almost certainly be hanging tomorrow. if we kill two people that are cultists, we can force a no lynch, and effectively win tomorrow. dont you see? you will win with my plan! Anyone who is still town, should know this, and agree with it. i am a very trusting that you wont kill me, and it will be two nights before i can kill again so you will be safe.

[Skruffs]

Mno, you have to shoot me. We had a good run, but we don't have the ability to change our win conditions. You're going to have to put me down like old yeller, before I attack yer ma.

[Skruffs]

Actually, theoretically, in my situation, the optical situation is to keep yos alive as a presumed unrecruitable townie, and keep mno and sly sly alive as vying cults who will need me lynched tomorrow. So theoretically my ideal shot would be the unknown element of b!b!, who is probably town, for a 1:1:1:1 endgamed in which yos would get to decide which scumgroup he wanted to lose to.

That would be the 'ideal' strategy for me, but I would rather shoot the corrupt cop who tried to get me lynched over beep beep, so.

[Skruffs]

Mno: your vig would probably be more useful if you held onto it one more night.

[Beep! Beep!]

Hammer.

vote: TSS

[Norinel]

End of Day Vote Count:

the silent speaker- 4 (Skruffs, mnowax, Yosarian2, Beep! Beep!)
Skruffs- 2 (the silent speaker, SlySly)

4 to lynch

Day 5

The decision takes some time, as tensions build to a deadlock that can only be resolved by one who'd temporarily gone missing. When she returns, the silent speaker is chosen as a threat, and a threat he was: brilliant red robes in his house betray his allegiance.

the silent speaker (Fuschia Cult Leader) - lynched Day 5.

It is now Night 6, send choices. Deadline 96 hours from this post.

[Norinel]

stark replaces SlySly. Also, I was asked about my ruling on ties, so to clarify publicly:

My default rule on this (Which actually isn't in the first post rules since I'd trimmed them down for Newbie games) is two nights and two days with no deaths is draw by Happily Ever After unless there's some other game factor that would break the stalemate. (In this setup, the two cases that might make a difference are waiting for a vig to recharge and that a nonkilling cult with 50% of the town wins if they can't be killed) I might cut it off earlier if agreement is unanimous.

[Norinel]

Night 6

Another day finds another body, as the population dwindles further. Beep! Beep! is the victim this time; she also had the anti-cult resources that could have combatted their spread.

Beep! Beep! (Alarmist) - shot Night 6

It is now Day 6, 4 alive means 3 to lynch.

[Skruffs]

Allright.
Well, Beep! Beep! was a wild card, and turned out to be town. So, it's, I think, up to Yosarian2 to decide which faction should win.

Vote: SlySly

, though, I know how I'd prefer it to end.
