Mini 485: Formula One (Game Over)

[Oman]

Okay, I feel like I need to fall down one side or the other here, as a deadline lynch is less usefull info wise.

Sir Wario, if scum, clears shanba (more or less). Sir Wario, if town, implicates Shanba (more or less).

Vote Sir Wario

[JDodge]

Vote Count:

SirWario - 3 (Shanba, pulsewidth, Oman)

pulsewidth - 2 (SirWario, KaleiÐoscøpe)

Not voting (1): Zindaras

6 alive, 4 to lynch, 3 to lynch at deadline.

[Zindaras]

Hmm...pulsewidth/Oman or Wario/Scope? I need to think about this one.

[KaleiÐoscøpe]

I'm not changing my vote.

[Zindaras]

Really, really big post upcoming. Please don't vote until then.

[Oman]

/bait breath

[SirWario]

Ok, I'm positive both scum are voting me right now. I'm pretty set as Pulse as one of the scum. I think the other is Oman. If you're town and on the wagon, then please rethink your vote. If I'm killed, then we lose.

I'm sure that Zindaras is town. He could have hammered and won already. I can only await his big post.

[Oman]

On that thought by SirWario:

I'm sure that Zindaras is town. He could have hammered and won already. I can only await his big post.

That is only true assuming you yourself are town. But, on the likelyhood that Zindie is town

Unvote

I await the post until I go further.

[KaleiÐoscøpe]

Ditto. Curious, but still certain pulse is scum.

[JDodge]

Less than 24 hours until deadline. At the moment, nobody will be lynched at deadline.

[Zindaras]

If SirWario and Scope are both scum, then we pretty much have a powerless town. Only a Cop and a Doc (and some silly teammate stuff), against SK and Mafia with Roleblocker (and who knows what else?). I don't see this as very likely.

Oman is the player who has been harping about teammates the most, and pulsewidth claimed to have a teammate, as a townie. Coincidence? I think not. If all townies really did have teammates, as Oman suggested, then pulsewidth would obviously claim to be the teammate of a dead power role, as he would have to claim teammate (since he's claiming townie) and claiming to be the teammate of a dead townie would be extremely dangerous (since there are three people claiming after him, any of them could be the teammate of a dead townie and counterclaim him).

Add to that the fact that Wario blocked pulsewidth Night One, which could explain why we missed one kill there, and I think that pulsewidth/Oman is a lot likelier than Scope/Wario.

Looking at pulse's behaviour throughout the game, there's an extremely vote-hoppy Day One, ending in a vote on SPAG. He FoSes Roach twice, but in endgame, he FoSes Shanba/Wario/Scope. Roach is now Oman. I see this as distancing. Also, since he just FoSed half the game, he's basically just trying to get any lynch: he can't possibly be right about all of them.

I've already FoSed deadscilent and Roach multiple times over the course of the game. Oman then spent most of his posts pushing the craphole theory of Scumdaras with the whole teammate stuff. He ended up on Wario, saying the following:

[quote="Oman"]Sir Wario, if scum, clears shanba (more or less). Sir Wario, if town, implicates Shanba (more or less).[/quote]

If SirWario is town, we just lost the game. This is bad logic.

The main problems I have with Scope and Wario are the tenuous accusations they made against me. I don't understand how Scope could possibly subscribe to the teammate theory if he's been actively following the sport. I think this post is a possible blocker breadcrumb.

Shanba/pulsewidth, Zindaras/SirWario are technically still possibilities , but I simply do not see the first as viable, and, well, for me, the second one is a waste of time. I guess it is also possible for Shanba, pulse or Oman to be bussing,

Now, out of this, the one that interests me the most is the Dissy lynch. It consisted of Wario, Scope...and ChaosOmega. Now, I ask myself, why would Wario/Scope possibly want to kill Omega? He was on the same wagon as they were. If they would get flak for lynching Dissy, they'd be able to share it with Omega. Add to that the fact that Omega wanted to kill Roach:

[quote="ChaosOmega"]I'm about in the same position as Xdaamno, in that I'd rather have DA lynched over no one. I'd rather have Roach lynched, though.[/quote]

And I think that Oman/pulse does have a motivation for killing Omega (getting rid of someone who joined in the Dissy lynch to weaken their position the next day and to kill someone who was suspicious of them).

I also went and took a look at IH's posts. And I found that, after his analysis in 225, he voted pulsewidth.

Coincidence? I think not. Both IH and Omega were suspicious of Oman or pulse, yet not vocal about it (so they weren't the easiest links to make).

Vote: pulsewidth

I think that's it. I hope I made the right decision.

[SirWario]

^QFT

[Oman]

Was pulse's claimed teammate one we have already seen in the game at all?

WAIT...WHAT!?! THE GUY CLAIMED THE DOCTOR WAS HIS TEAMMATE!?!?! Our teammates are not in the game, they are not together. They are an abstract NPC.

Jesus,

Vote Pulsewidth

Thats rediculous.

God I hope Pulse isn't just an idiot townie.

The paperwork was filed...

The necessary info was on its way...

The drivers had come to a decision...

Their time had almost run out...

And so BMW Sauber was left without its drivers, due to the suspension of Nick Heidfeld,

townie

...

pulsewidth, Nick Heidfeld,

townie

, super license suspended at Indianapolis (D4)

It is now Night Four. Deadline is 10:01 PM EDT, October 5th.

[JDodge]

It was another fatal accident in France...

Something went wrong. Terribly wrong.

There's no reason for Giancarlo Fisichella's car to have done that. Just veered straight into the barrier at those speeds.

The only explanation was sabotage. But whom? I mean, poor Shanba, the

cop

was dead, leaving just 4 drivers to face the end.

Who would have the

experience

, the

knowledge

to do such a thing?

Not Fernando Alonso, AKA SirWario,

roleblocker

. He had an incident at the Nürburgring.

Not Felipe Massa, AKA Oman,

townie

. He had an incident in Turkey.

No, it was David Coulthard, AKA Zindaras, and Jarno Trulli, AKA KaleiÐoscøpe.

Fitting that in his last year, Coulthard would get that championship that eluded him for so long, with Trulli narrowly missing the title.

Of course, he would be the last F1 Driver's Champion, just as Toyota would be the last F1 Constructor's Champion.

All was silent. An era was over.

[Oman]

That teammate thing sucked.

This goes down as an unfun game.

I think this could very well be the best game as scum I've ever played. Apart from the crackpot teammate theory and the WIFOM-argument Wario put up, I pretty much had zero suspicion on me throughout the game.

We killed Paradox Night 1 because I felt he was the towniest and I had a bit of a hunch he was a good kill. We also blocked IH that Night. I thought that he would be the most likely powerrole to target me, and I was a bit afraid of him being SK. After the lone kill on Night 1, I was pretty sure IH was SK. During Day 2, I figured out Polter was Cop with a Town investigation on Dissy, which is why we blocked him after that. It also meant that we couldn't keep IH around (we were probably pretty high on any SK's hit list), so we killed him. The last night, the choice was Omega or Wario. We decided on Omega because Omega was a loose cannon. Wario thought I was Town, I didn't know what Omega thought. I also wanted to kill a less active person. I had the feeling that there was another power role (though I thought it was a Tracker, not a Roleblocker).

The last day was odd. First there was the teammate theory (which was complete bogus. I thought a bit about claiming Rubens Barrichello, Jenson Button's teammate, but I decided against it because I knew I didn't need it), which got me really worked up. Then Wario got to Lynch-1, and Scope and I both had the opportunity to hammah. But, for some reason, I decided not to. I don't really know why. I thought it would be a bit...anticlimactic. I wanted everyone to think I was town up till the last post, the big reveal by JDodge. So I started writing up the huge post. As I progressed, I became more and more unsure about my chosen path. But, luckily, Oman made it all easier for me by unvoting, which meant I basically had to post it.

[Zindaras]

That teammate thing sucked.

No, you simply focused on an entirely wrong thing. The town should've lynched on behaviour, not outguessing the mod regarding teammates.

This goes down as an unfun game.

I would disagree. I massively enjoyed myself.

[Oman]

Yeah, replacing roach hurt me to.

I would like to say that every comment I make on the game is my own, and you can form your own opinions.

[pulsewidth]

I can't believe we didn't even get at least one of the scum. Wow. Should've listened to Shanba and went after KScope, but I couldn't believe that the town would have two roleblockers, hence why I went after SW.

Oman, I don't understand your hammer vote. How did you come to the conclusion that the teammates weren't in the game? Just so you know, I was telling the truth; my role PM stated that Robert Kubica was, in fact, my teammate.

Yeah, sorry about that; somehow I subconciously inserted flavour that lead to the whole teammates thing, which was unfortunately escalated by the fact that the players with roles that did have teammates in the game were the only ones that mentioned teammates. My mistake.

EBWOP: Nevertheless, congrats to the scum for playing a good game.

[Oman]

Pulse, it was just weird that your team-mate was the doctor. A previous PC. For the rest of us teammaters the team mates were NPCs.

I got targeted for an investigation? *gasp*!
