What happened to the regular scum-hunting tactics of discussion, lurker-voting and analysis? Sure, mathcam said we're on a deadline, but he also said it could be extended. It's hardly a good reason to bandwagon me.

Maybe we should use the method of the previous time travel mini and vote on whether we'd like to end the day?

As for armlx, I'm all for reviving him. The more confirmed townies the better. Still, I think we should look for a method to revive power roles that somehow excludes scum. Any ideas?

Unvote:NanookTheWolf

Vote: SapphireVerde

for not contributing to the discussion (and of course to offer another target than myself).

Likewise, it's smarter to save armlx now instead of later if you want to save fuel.

Mathcam already told us time fuel is limited. So I think it's clear the mafia won't be going back to night one too often like they did in the old games. I doubt they'd be able to travel more than any pro-town power role.

If they're smart the mafia already knew...

No. The key component to the time-travel mechanism is time-fuel, of which there is a limited quantity in this game. It is possible, however, in the case that everyone uses up all of their time fuel, that the game will turn in to a regular mini game.

And what exactly is the risk involved? They'd be saving a confirmed townie and use only one unit of time fuel versus the 2 units they'd tomorrow. If he's to be saved, it should be as soon as possible to save as much time fuel as possible.

I wonder if each mafia member has their own time fuel, or if they share their stash.

We could always save the guy who'll die this night.

Only if you know for certain who's going to die ahead of time, or am I missing something?

Doughnuts is the correct spelling, and is this hinting at a cop claim?

Spelling all depends on where you live. You can spell the word doughnut in a number of ways all equally valid.

I don't think anyone is gonna be surprised, but I'd like to

request a deadline extension

as well. I don't really like to die because of a random bandwagon and I doubt Sapphire would either.

But if you're killed you can vote for dead people on days they were still alive.

Mgm · Post Post #88 (isolation #12) » Tue Mar 22, 2005 11:55 pm

I'd have to agree with the plan that votes should only be on bandwagons when the day ends.

If I'm correct the votes are currently like this:
SapphireVerde - Electra, Mgm, Axelrod.
Mgm - SapphireVerde, Fuldu.
Electra - Mastermind of Sin.
Axelrod - Crola.

If we end with something similar, mafia could travel back to night 1 and kill SV. Then his vote on me wouldn't count, causing a three-way tie in lynch numbers on the new day 1.

Mgm · Post Post #93 (isolation #13) » Wed Mar 23, 2005 9:33 pm

In a three way tie, ony one person would die, as Mathcam stated earlier.
Also, the SV we're playing with is a female, you called her a "him." Just pointing that out.

Still, it would suck if a person died with just one vote because of time travelling scum. I wouldn't mind more than one bandwagon, at least than we'd know the potential people dying are put in that postition because the majority of the town wants them to be.

SV, sorry about calling you 'him'.

I'm all ears - ready to hear your confession.

I don't know where you live, but here Easter doesn't really take 9 days.

I would be willing to switch my vote to a lurker if it wouldn't mean putting my own ass on top of the vote count...

Oh wait, SV unvoted.

Unvote;
Vote: Electra

Yes, on night 1 I travelled to night 2 to kill Fuldu. It caused the chaos I hoped for. It was just unfortunate I was too dead to see it unfold.

I especially like this post by SubtleTactix

SubtleTactix wrote:I think a role-claim at this point will help shed some light on this subject. I am the vigilante, and here is an important statement:

*** I did NOT use my Night 2 action to travel to Night 1 and kill Mgm. ***

As a result, I am very confident that we have an SK on our hands. If that is correct, then probably both mafia and SK acted Night 1. But there was only one kill on Night 1 originally. So here are some possibilities:

A. Mafia and SK targeted armlx night one.
B. There will be an attempted future kill, by a scum group.
C. A doc protected somebody night one
D. A roleblocker stopped the SK night one.

D would be great, C would be good, B is not very likely. I worry most about A. Why? Because that means our doc may have spent time fuel last night to protect armlx, only to find that he is still dead (b/c he was targeted twice).

So, if the doc is still alive out there, cursing their luck, they could try to revive armlx AGAIN tonight, or they could try to revive Fuldu. A confirmed townie would definitely be an asset. I guess the positive side of this is that the doc could still very much be alive.

Notice that Mgm CANNOT be the SK: Suppose he were; then clearly he didn't go back in time to kill himself, so it must have been the mafia that did that. That means Mgm would have targeted Fuldu on night two -- except he wouldn't be alive to do it! So Mgm is not the serial killer. He COULD still be mafia.

<snip>

Just a few more assumption could've gotten me revived. I can't be mafia if the mafia killed me. And since you proclaimed me to be not the SK, that faulty logic could've cleared me if anyone had taken it further. Too bad no one did...

Was there any specific reason the mafia killed me?
