In addition, the black knight must be something. The Knights who say "Ni" as well...they both seem like kind of evil roles to me, but that sure makes for a lot of evil.My guesses so far:
French = Mafia Family A
3 headed giant = Either Mafia Family B or SK
Giant Rabbit? = SK
I'llRandom Vote: God

I think Macros was talking about the process of coutning the votes, not the votes themselves, but I'm not sure.
Wacky, 6 out of 19 alive non-me players already had votes. That's a 1 in 3 three chance of my random vote landing on someone who already had one. I actually thought about re-rolling because I thought someone would make your exact argument, but I mean come on...1 in 3...

I think it probably only feels that way because you've heard it so many times in all your games. I think it's a psychological trap that less inexperienced players can find themselves easily falling into as mafia. But personally, I think it applies more to mini games...I hate the "third/fourth on a bandwagon" argument. Don't you think by now the mafia are learning to avoid it???

I think that's a good theory, Night Stalker, especially about the bunny. We'll have to keep that in mind. I also wonder if the bunny's lack of kill was not because of a doc protection, but because of something extra the bunny has to do to complete the kill or something. Oh, and what about that monster in the cave behind the bunny? Did it have a name?

Hey, now that you mention it, so did I, but re-reading, it sounds to me like it was almost certainly the aforementioned Legendary Black Beast of Aaaauuugh!!! Right? He could barely get the scream off....fast and terrifying... Who's with me? The bunny didn't rip people's heads off...it gnawed them. And it didn't terrify anyone! (At least, not at first). I think we've found an SK.Macros wrote:Happy that his taunting had acheived the desired effect Quagmire turned for home, only to be assualted by some so fast and terifying, he barely had time to scream before his head was ripped off!

Yeah, I mean it sounds very much like he had to BS a role, and it's too early to tell what roles are in the game, so he picked someone extremely obscure so as to minimize the chance that someone could come out and contradict him. Unfortunately for him, I don't think he did a very good job coming up with a role claim to fit the role.
Wait, that's not God! It'sEl Diablo!

Really? I kind of liked this idea...
Think about it. They just found out who each other were, and as bane221 points out, they might be forced (by their role PM) to start arguing. DS and the other head get told this, and they realize they won't be able to vote all day. DS also realizes that he will be noticed if they don't vote today, so he claims he has no idea why he can't vote, leading us to believe that it's some kind of role-blocker.bane221 wrote:2) The heads of the three-header? Such as when they get confused and start arguing with each other.
Fortunately, there's a way to test my theory. Everyone simply vote and unvote someone. Do it at random if you want, and you don't actually have to unvote if you're voting for someone you find suspicious. We just want to verify that everyone has the ability to vote. If everyone but DS does have the ability to vote, he's probably truthful in saying he doesn't know why he can't vote. If there are precisely two people who can't or refuse to vote, we can rest fairly assured that these are the remaining two heads.
Note we're not losing anything by pursuing this plan. If DS is telling the truth and someone out there is a vote-blocker, there's no point in coming out. This plan is simple and essentially foolproof, so there's no point exposing unless we're about to lynch someone you know to be innocent.
Vote: Dragon Slayer
Unvote: Dragon Slayer

I think I actually addressed this point in the original post. The argument was that if youHowever, one thing I have to say is: why would I come out and say that I can't vote. If I was pressured to vote later on then maybe I'd say that, but that wasn't the case.areevil, it'd be much more devastating if we discovered that you couldn't vote rather than you just telling us.

This may be jumping the gun slightly, but we could just lynch Polotet.
Case A: The theory that Dragon Slayer and Polotet are the two remaining heads of the three-headed knight is true, and we find that out when we lynch Polotet, and go after DS tomorrow.
Case B: The theory is not true, but we've still shown DS to be cleared of this charge, and we've lynched a non-poster. I don't find anyone else particularly suspicious, so lynching Polotet sure seems like a better thing to do than pick a random active player and go after them.
In either case, I think this game's interesting, and would hate to see it die because people lost interest because we waited too long.
Unvote, Vote: Polotet

Awww...poor DS...did we hurt your feelings?DS wrote:No offense, but I doubt someone would come out with that today after what I was "put" through for it yesterday.
No offense taken, DS, but we really didn't "put you through" much, right? And someone coming out saying the couldn't vote today would make it all the more likely that there was a role causing this rather than it being a by-product of being a bad guy.
Oh, and you're not off the hook yet. Only two people were unwilling/unable/unsomething to forth a vote yesterday. One was evil, one is you.
I almost want to suggest weeding out by voting and unvoting everyone again, but that was such a pain in the ass yesterday that maybe it's just not even worth it.

Get annoyed with Bane all you want, Fishbulb, but Werebear was making a very valid point. Even if it wasn't addressed to him, all he was saying was that an improved list would be:
Evil:
Three-headed Knight
French Guards
Harmless Bunny
Almost Certainly Good Because There's No More Room Left For Evil People:
Black Knight
Knights of the Round Table (King Arther, Sir Lancelot, Sir Robin, Sir Gallahad, Sir Bedevere, Sir Not-Appearing-In-This-Film)
Concorde
Patsy
Sir Robin's Minstrels
Prince Herbert
Tim (the Enchanter)Brother Maynard
Narrator
Bridge Keeper
Knights Who Say "Ni!"
Castle Anthrax (Zoot, Dingo)
Dennis
Witch
Roger (the Shrubber)

Fine, but Werebear's point had a larger context. People have been implying all game that other groups are possibly evil, while all along Werebear has making arguments to the contrary. It was not specifically a response to your last post, but rather a point simply worth emphasizing. Maybe he misunderstood what you were getting at with your post (i.e. targeting Bane), but there's no over-emphasizing good points.

Sure, but that's going to happen anyway. It's just as easy for a mafia to do the same thing hoping to get some bonus goodie points for doing so. It's certainly possible that, as you claim, you were simply unfamiliar with the chracters and thought the 3-headed giant might be good. But even if this is true doesn't mean you're not mafia.Andthere's the chance that you're lying.
I remain unconvinced, and I also lack anyone better to go after.

How odd...you don't want to put the 4th vote on Night Stalker, but you'll put the 5th? Basically, you'll continue the bandwagon only if it's inevitable? If Night Stalker's evil, I'm going to be looking pretty hard in your direction. Oh, and in DS's. Good thing I have two eyes.But like I said I'll change my vote to Nightstalker if he gets another vote

I'm ver surprised by all this. The whole game we've been listing people who we thought would be evil, and the black knight was among them. And then someone comes out and says "Yes, I'm the Black Knight. But I'm good" and we're all like "Oh, how surprising. The black knight is good. Okay," rather than "Die, you fiendous murdering scum!" Yes, not acting as an SK until the endwouldbe an awesome play, wouldn't it?
And maybe he gets a bonus for not killing. We all know he's a horrible fighter. Maybe he's in training or something. Maybe he can store up kills. And now that he knows we're on to him, he could unleash them all tonight. I definitely agree it'spossiblehe's good, but anything's possible. Isn't leaving him alive a huge risk to take for very little possible gain? Plus, it's not like we have any better leads.
Evil in this game is those who opposed King Arthur's quest. The Black Knight opposed King Arthur's quest. You can draw your own conclusions, I guess.
My vote (as you may have guessed), stands.
