Not Voting:

With 13 alive, its 7 to lynch.

[Empking]

You noticed the quiet figure sitting in the corner. The quiet figure you have recently become to know as Chkflip. As you absent-mindedly looked ast him you noticed he had a gun.

"Holy ~#*?. He's got a gun!"

Chkflip was lynched. He was a Vigilante.

Night begins and will end in 48 hours.

[Empking]

Expanding for an addition 24 hours because of the Weekend.

[Empking]

Death. The stench of death. The stench of two deaths. Two deaths are surprisingly unsmelly compared to the stench of one death (That reminds you. You have to do something about Chkflip's rotting corpse.)

You identify those bodies as

Peregrines

and

Amruns

[Ironhead]

Can someone please explain to me why Peregrine was killed last night? Presumably he was targeted by scum, and Amrun was the SK target (as the SK has no compelling reason to kill the insane cop, right?); but wasn't Peregrine the obvious choice for the remaining bodyguard to protect? Either the scum ought to have avoided targeting him just because of the WIFOM risk that he was being protected, or they would have targeted him and killed the bodyguard instead.

I suspect that the scum killed the other bodyguard earlier, and thus knew they could target Peregrine without being deflected by the bodyguard.

...

In other news, I contend that yesterday's voting pattern gives us good reason to lynch vezokpiraka. So again,

VOTE: VEZOKPIRAKA

[The Mask]

Apologies for my limited access taking longer than the expected 3 days. And YO, I didn't get a PM about the new day so a mass daybreak prod may be in order.

Iron, I've been thinking about it. If Amrun wasn't scum, maybe she was a bodyguard? Maybe both the SK and mafia hit Peregrine, and one kill took out Amrun while the other got through to Peregrine?

MOD: If two killers AND a bodyguard target the same player, will both the killers only kill the bodyguard? Or will one kill the bodyguard and the other kill the intended target?

chkflip's craziness makes me think he killed one of the cops N1, and for whatever reason jumped to conclude that Peregrine was lying. It's a weird scene either way but I would have expected him to counterclaim insane cop, if anything.

What it do, earworm?

[vezokpiraka]

Wait what?

Let me check something.

[vezokpiraka]

Yep I checked something.

I bodyguarded amrun last night.

I have no idea why is she dead.

[Ironhead]

Yep I checked something.

I bodyguarded amrun last night.

I have no idea why is she dead.

I will try to put aside my incredulity and complete disbelief for one moment to ask: Why would the bodyguard protect Amrun, instead of: PeregrineV (claimed insane cop), earworm (claimed hider), or Ironhead (confirmed as town by claimed hider)?

[vezokpiraka]

Because of WIFOM. I have amrun as a confirmed town in my mind. The scum might anticipate me saving those so I tried to save amrun.
What's the point in saving the hider?

Anyway I still got blocked so it doesn't matter.

[Ironhead]

What's the point in saving the hider?

Because he hid with someone last night and can thus announce to us someone else who is confirmed town.

Anyway I still got blocked so it doesn't matter.

Wow. Are you saying that not only did you inexplicably protect Amrun (putting your life on the line for someone who is an unknown) instead of protecting the insane cop, hider, or confirmed-town; but also, for some odd reason the role-blocker chose to target you (another unknown) instead of role-blocking the insane cop or hider?

I don't think the case on you could get any stronger. I contend that it is now incumbent upon each player to weigh in on the case on you:

@everyone: do you think vezokpiraka is scummy? Why or why not? (any "no" answer must necessarily defend his ludicrous claim as well).

[Cobblerfone]

Because he hid with someone last night and can thus announce to us someone else who is confirmed town.

But if the bodyguard protects them then how do they confirm town?

Wow. Are you saying that not only did you inexplicably protect Amrun (putting your life on the line for someone who is an unknown) instead of protecting the insane cop, hider, or confirmed-town; but also, for some odd reason the role-blocker chose to target you (another unknown) instead of role-blocking the insane cop or hider?

It does sound like a stretch. Plus I don't really see the point in Vezok's claim. But if he were going to fakeclaim, wouldn't it be that he protected the insane cop? Unless Amrun was the bodyguard and Vezok killed her or something, that's the only explanation I can come up with. Ugh. Gambits.

VOTE: Mask for now. I have to think through this.

[sorasgoof]

Okay, yeah. VOTE: Vezok.

There's no way anything you're saying adds up whatsoever, sorry.

[Surye]

Ugh, Vezok is a force to be reckoned with, but he constantly surprises me with how insane he is. Cobbler, why are you stretching to defend Vezok, and not vote for him?

[Surye]

VOTE: Vezok

[Nocmen]

Vote: Vezok

, I don't think there's any reason or motivation for the SK/RB to block vezok. No scenario I can think of for that makes sense to me right now. Nor protecting someone other than a claimed cop.

Just for curiosity, who did you target previously, Vezok? What was your motivation to guard them?

[jilynne1991]

You guys...I am sooo sorry, but I really need to start cutting the crap out of my life, because I'm going to a math camp soon and then I'm trying to get into a boarding school, I'm sorry, but I'm going to have to leave mafiascum, sorry. I really wish I didn't have to leave everyone like this, but I really don't want to waste my summer. I know I should have thought of this earlier, and I'm sorry for the inconvenience it caused you guys.

I didn't guard anyone on night 1.

I had no strong leads and I like being alive.

Being 13, means that I don't have to work and that, yes, I do have time to sign up for 10+ games.

We do have these rules and guidelines for a reason...

Vezok, then why guard amrun? Seems counter to this day 1 knowledge, when you HAD a lead day 2.

[jilynne1991]

Sorry...I was planning to play through the summer, until I got a letter from a boarding academy, but since it's 40k a year, my parents are going to be mad at me if it's wasted and I really want to do well.

So why afraid to go still? Afraid of blocking a crosskill?

It's selfish to play to stay alive as long as you want to. That's why I'm voting you. Why wouldn't you sacrifice yourself for the good of the team?

[Cobblerfone]

Cobbler, why are you stretching to defend Vezok, and not vote for him?

It's just so surreal. Why would he do this as either scum faction? But then again, I've only played with him once where he was town.

@Vezok: If you're town you'll have to convince everyone that somebody would block you instead of Peregrine. Can you explain why or who?

[Surye]

Will be out of town till the 17th. I will be reading the game on my phone, and will reply, but will be limited on huge posts.

[Empking]

I think that tyhree week deadlines have been too long. If nobody objects, today's deadline will the 26th

[vezokpiraka]

The only one I could see blocking me is jily.

Others could've blocked me just because shit.

I think it's jily though.
