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'd vote for God for sending everyone on this stupid quest, but since he already has a couple of votes I will

Vote: Wacky

I'm betting the Knights who say Nee! are a mason group. Or maybe even a cult. We have at least 3 killing roles already (if the Black Knight is around - and how could he not be - he might be a killing role too). A second mafia is just pushing it...

I was just thinking the same thing, actually. The knights who say N(i/ee) are probably a mason group.

Do you suppose the "bring out your dead" guy is in this game? What role would he have? And what about the guy who guards the bridge? And the random guy that watches the knights get closer over and over again, then it cuts back, and they get closer, but they don't get closer? You know? That guy?

Okay, I'm done ranting.
Holy crap, I forgot this site existed.

I think we should probably try to figure out which evil killing roles there are before we do much of anything else.

So far we have:
French = Mafia Family A
3 Headed Giant = SK or Mafia Family B
Giant Rabbit = SK

with guesses about:
Knights of Ni = Mafia Family C or a Mason Group (I would bet that they are a mafia family if they exist, since they are pretty evil in the movie)
Black Knight = SK (SK because he always wants to kill people?)

23 People started the game, 1:4 is approximately the ratio for mafia:town, right? (Anyone with more experience can correct me if I'm wrong)

23/5 = 4.6, lets say 5 Mafia
So if there were a 3 Headed Giant that would be 3 people and leave 2 mafia for the french/others which doesnt make much sense.
Therefore, French = Mafia w/ 5 people? and 3HG and GR are SKs?

I don't know if much of this makes any sense to you, but there seem to be too many killing roles if the Knights of Ni and Black Knight are evil.

That does seem like a bit much, could the three-header be something else perhaps? Maybe less evil? I mean, they were, or almost were, kind of helpful in the movie...

Why all the banter about mafia group C and such? The deaths spoke for themselves. If there's more than 3 deaths night 2, we'll worry then.

French Ka-niggets - a mafia group
Killer Rabbit - SK
Three-Headed Knight - some sort of killers

That's enough for me to worry about. The knights of Ni never killed anyone, they'll just make you chop down the largest tree in the forest with a herring.

I actually hope that Zoot and the ladies of Castle Anthrax are in the game. I'm over here! Target me tonight! :) :) :)

Werebear makes a good point about the Knights Who Say Ni ... the same point can be applied to the Black Knight ("What are you going to do, bleed on me?") (actually, I guess he DOES kill the Green Knight at the beginning of that scene, but COME ON!)

Maybe the Knights who say Ni are mason + role blocker as well? I'm sure noone can really concentrate with people saying "ni" at them.

And I think the black night probably more likely to be a SK rather than a vigilante.

And
unvote cam


"bring out your dead" guy seems like a coroner or some other similar role.
...whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth.

I like the mason + role blocker idea for the Knights who say Ni, but I think given all the evil roles, the Blakc Knight's more likely to be a vigilante.

As for proceeding with the game, we've got a lot of random votes and I don't find anyone overtly suspicious yet. I'll leave my vote for now.

I'm 100% sure that if the ladies of Castle Anthrax are in the game (why wouldn't they be) that they will have a role-blocking choice.

maybe to balance the evil the Knights who say Ni are also role-blockers...

I'd bet money the knights of Ni aren't evil. And no, I'm not a Knight of Ni.

Well, speculation is important, but there's also a game to be played here. People not voting...what exactly are you waiting for? Someone to jump out and proclaim they're a baddie? It's not going to happen, so out with your suspicions and let's seem some attacks. Keep it clean,

*shrug* Kinda...

I'm not a big fan of random votes, but I guess the game has to get moving. Usually by now, someone has presented themselves in a suspicious enough manner to warrant a real vote, but seeing as I have yet to notice that anywhere, I am reduced to:
Random Vote: Leonidas


(I must note, the random was actually just on people who already had votes. We have to start somewhere...)

Hmm.
I am flattered to be promoted to the equal of God by your 'random' vote (2 votes), which conveniently draws attention away from you - since you had one yourself.

Let me therefore help you achieve deity status too.

Yes, quite conveniently. Here's a little "secret" information for you. I even left my name out of the random! How devious of me...

Well, I haven't found anyone overly suspicious yet, but we do have to start somewhere. If we don't vote, we'll all just sit around and wait for everyone else to post so...

Vote: God
