Saffron Iguana Posted January 22, 2019 Report Share Posted January 22, 2019 I think lynching Weasel would give us the most information, but if I would imagine Weasel would be protected by Devotion again, unless they plan on sticking another person out there to draw attention away from Weasel. I just got online, but will try to go through the thread and such and try to decide who I think would be best to lynch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azure Mouse Posted January 22, 2019 Report Share Posted January 22, 2019 You know what? I think lynching Weasel is going nowhere at this point. Octopus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Azure Mouse Posted January 22, 2019 Report Share Posted January 22, 2019 I thought that the results weren't going to go anywhere. I think Octopus would be a target whose death might give us more information, especially, since they've been relatively quiet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why Octopus though? After a brief perusal of the thread, neither Swan nor Octopus have created much of a stir. The swing to Octopus seems engineered by Swan’s and Weasel’s factions to save their teammates, which is fine, but Weasel (Zebra) is still the best candidate, if only to confirm what he’s told us, and because he’s the only candidate of the three that’s helpful in advancing anything beyond a “restoration of balance” (which, by the way, we don’t know if Octopus is in one of the “weakened” factions or not). He could always be Returned later if we feel too guilty. (Or rather, if Endowment does.) Also, Weasel, Autonomy can’t help you, as they’re very nicely Shattered right now. Guess you’ll have to appeal to Ambition, or use your own Forger role, if you bothered to make it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm afraid I'm not seeing the connection here. In my mind, a talkative person would give us more information, because their death information could be cross-referenced with more events, rather than a quiet person, who would only give us a faction name and a role, with no other information to work with.

Indigo Weasel Posted January 22, 2019 Report Share Posted January 22, 2019 You guys keep having the same recurring misconception. I'm a worldhopper. My factionmate is Devotion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azure Mouse Posted January 22, 2019 Report Share Posted January 22, 2019 A quiet person gives us less information in the thread. Someone being quiet gives us the possibility of them hiding something, such as being a Shard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My factionmate is Devotion. Who thought you were Devotion? I was fairly certain you weren't. I kinda do feel bad about killing a talkative person though; that's the fatal flaw of this kind of reasoning. The quiet people don't get killed because no one knows about them, and no information would be gained from them, and the talkative people die. This continues until only the inactive remain. It's a brutal cycle, which is why I usually advocate inactive slaying. But that gets villages in trouble. Here, it's less of a bad thing, so I'm kind of reconsidering my view now... I'll have to think about it. Because we do have pinch-hitters. Are there any players who haven't posted yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ivory Dragonfly Posted January 22, 2019 Report Share Posted January 22, 2019 1 hour ago, Indigo Weasel said: The reason my alliances would die too is that the rest of my faction is not very interested in alliances, and so therefore they would probably crumble. So your faction doesn't really need the help of others to complete its win condition. Seems fair. 15 minutes ago, Indigo Weasel said: At this point, I have one more vote on me than Octopus. Octopus would almost certainly die if lynched, as they're not on Scadrial. The only way I see them surviving is if Octopus and Weasel are in the same faction, and Devotion protected Octopus last night. Meanwhile, your faction should have a Forger that can probably move a vote off you. Since your faction has Ruin, were they the one to kill Penguin?

I feel like a Ruin kill would have a bit more pomp and flair to it, you know? Although Penguin did write his own death scene. Idk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sapphire Elephant Posted January 22, 2019 Report Share Posted January 22, 2019 I do not like the idea of lynching Weasel, as I'm afraid that cultivation would protect him again, and he might survive and waste the lynch again... In favor of not wanting the lynch, I'll place my vote on Octopus.... Now how do I make that red on my phone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ivory Dragonfly Posted January 22, 2019 Report Share Posted January 22, 2019 (edited) Weasel(4): Falcon, Gecko, Dingo, ZebraOctopus(4): Swan, Weasel, Axolotl, Mouse Swan(1): Octopus Edit: (Why is the keyboard shortcut to post so easily to use accidentally) Here's the new vote tally, and since Weasel's faction has the forger role, it will likely be Octopus that dies. The interesting news from the Scadrial doc is that Weasel has claimed they would die if lynched. I do not know whether the potential ability to kill Weasel means we should, though. @A Joe in the Bush, if the lynch is tied, what happens?

A Joe in the Bush Posted January 22, 2019 Report Share Posted January 22, 2019 (edited) About 40ish minutes left in this turn. Please get in orders now, as I will not accept any votes or actions that are sent in past the end of the Hour. EDIT: Wow, 6,666 posts, and this is what I said? What a waste. @Ivory Dragonfly, PAFO, also, you could vote if you don't want to PAFO. Edited January 22, 2019 by A Joe in the Bush Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll vote for Octopus then. That should ensure that a lynch goes through. If Weasel and Octopus are factionmates, and their wincon is to save everyone in their faction from a lynch, good job.
