Elbereth Posted May 14, 2020 Report Share Posted May 14, 2020 Well. I voted Megasif mainly to see what reactions there would be, and I don’t know what to make of the results. On the one hand, this: 11 hours ago, Zillah said: EDIT: Megasif's vote on me feels a lot like they were trying to hide behind Joe Bush's logic, so they could get a vote in without having to say something that might make them suspicious, so for that I'm going to vote on them this cycle. Feels like an elim hoping that Megasif might get lynched, especially with her being in danger as well. On the other, a train built up on Elk rather strongly - I doubt he’s evil, and I suspect there are eliminators in that vote, but I don’t know whether they’re trying to protect Megasif or Zillah or just didn’t think they could get away with lynching Megasif or what. 8 hours ago, Kidpen said: I don't like any of the lynches here. Elkanah has felt relatively neutral and zillah feels village. That being said between the two of them I prefer Elkanah and I want to make sure a tie doesn't happen. Plus, like, I really feel like Elkanah hasn't made many AI posts and that feels like it might be deliberate? This also reads evil to me, not sure I can explain why. So I think Zillah and Kidpen are my current suspects. I doubt it’ll make a difference at this point, but I’ll vote Kidpen (since I’d rather not lynch Zillah immediately after she came back, which is something that should be encouraged). More likely to vote Zillah next cycle though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kidpen Posted May 14, 2020 Report Share Posted May 14, 2020 Wait I'm actually awake before the cycle ends? And... unfortunately nothing has happened. I'm actually maybe a little bit more OK with lynching Elkanah if anything? These last few posts have given me a gut elim read. But now I'm second guessing myself, so idk. I definitely still think Elkanah is the best option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Man, I am really not doing very well this game and based on my track record you're probably village. So, sorry! Not a ton I can do about it now though, there's about 12 minutes left if I've counted correctly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Archivist Posted May 14, 2020 Report Share Posted May 14, 2020 Sorry for not doing that analysis I promised, I'll try to get it next cycle. Rollover comes around, and once again I have no Idea who to vote on. I think my problem is that I don't read enough into posts, and thus can't form suspicions. But I don't want there to be a tie again, so I guess I'll vote on Elkanah, even if it probably won't be a tie anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would have zero problems with switching to Karnage, who I have already voted for twice in a row, but yes I think there is a fair amount of information to be had with lynching Elkanah, and I didn't want to fight to switch the lynch from Elkanah to Karnage when Elkanah seems like an acceptable choice to me, certainly more so than some of the previous people who have been lynched in this game. 3 hours ago, Lord_Silberfarben said: I don't know why I don't like this Elkanah wagon. "The last I saw there were maybe 3 votes? When I checked out for the night. Enough to lynch someone but also enough time for people to mount a defense or alternate lynch targets they'd push if she'd been an elim" ^^^ Quote from Brightness Radiant^^^ it is something BR mentioned, with so many players voting Elkanah, it is very likely some of them are mutineers... So Elkanah is most probably village. These big bandwagons are usually on villagers, or elim that did something so suspicious even their teammates were forced to vote them. I might be wrong tho, i don't even remember why this vote was started EDIT: upon closer examination, i see that the votes are more tied than i thought, with megasif and Elkanah being the highest (i think. it is so hard to count the votes) does anyone have a vote tally?? Yeah so I've also been a little on the fence about the degree of opposition to the Elkanah lynch. It's part of why I am reassessing things at the end of the cycle. The vote is 6 - 4 between Elkanah and Megasif, so yeah I would not say the lynch has been too easy, because I don't think any one person had gotten more than 3 votes before this cycle and now the level of engagement with this vote is much higher. 7 minutes ago, Kidpen said: Wait I'm actually awake before the cycle ends? Oh, this is such a mood. 4 minutes ago, Elkanah said: Lord can stand by me in saying I'm not salty I take salt like a pro. Whatever comes of this lynch, you've been a good sport about it. I am sorry if I got this one wrong. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrakeMarshall Posted May 14, 2020 Report Share Posted May 14, 2020 Requiescat In Pace. Anyways the way I see it the village is officially losing the game at this point so lets that around yeah? Three Assumptions I am pretty sure a game with 22 players would have 5 eliminators. That means there are 4 eliminators left. There are a handful of people that I trust: God King - His response to Elbereth's accusation seemed genuine. Kidpen - Thought that the eliminator faction was shades, which I really don't think a mutineer would do. Archivist - Was active at the end of the first cycle but made no attempt to either save or bus Rae. Sart - Flipped the vote against Rae during the last hour of the first cycle. Megasif - Placed the second vote against Rae that made her a serious lynch candidate for the first time. DrakeMarshall - I get to see this guy's role PM. There are a handful of people I don't think could both be eliminators: CadCom has been going after Karnage for several cycles. Joe attempted to lead a lynch on Zillah. Aman tried to break the tied vote against CadCom at the last second. It has occurred to me that this could have been posted too late on purpose, but given the rushed nature of the post I'm inclined to give the benefit of the doubt. Silberfarben arguing with Elbereth about whether El's vote was a poke vote or not doesn't seem like an interaction between teammates. Implications I can do a bit of math to narrow down the suspects. I've calculated every possible eliminator team configuration that has 4 living players, does not include any of the players that I trust, and does not include pairs of players that I don't think could be on an eliminator team together. The possible eliminator teams are: Karnage, Silberfarben, Joe, Aman Karnage, Silberfarben, Zillah, Aman Karnage, Joe, Elbereth, Aman Karnage, Elbereth, Zillah, Aman So, wow. I was hoping this little exercise would let me shrink the pool of suspects but I didn't expect it would confirm both Karnage and Aman to be elims. Karnage I already suspected, but Aman not really. But I'm pretty confident about those 3 assumptions I made, and this conclusion necessarily follows from those assumptions. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair enough. I can walk you through the calculation I did, if that would help at all. I neglected to show my work for the sake of brevity, but despite taking up rather a lot of space the calculation is actually quite simple. But I'm also fine with things as they stand. I agree that if Karnage turns out to be innocent then obviously my reasoning was incorrect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And i am not diminishing the value of this, i just think it is slightly suspicious. Ooh fun okay lets do this It's totally fair to ask me to show my work; I probably should have anticipated it honestly. Here are my calculations: Spoiler I start with a list of the currently living players: Karnage The_God_King Lord_Silberfarben Kidpen A Joe in the Bush Elbereth The_Archivist Sart Zillah CadCom DrakeMarshall Amanuensis Megasif Then I use assumption #2. There are certain players whom I trust as villagers, so I am removing them from the suspect pool. The reduced suspect pool is: Karnage Lord_Silberfarben A Joe in the Bush Elbereth Zillah CadCom Amanuensis Then I use assumption #1. I think there are 4 surviving eliminators, so I will look at every possible choice of 4 players from this set of 7 suspects: Karnage, Silberfarben, Joe, Elbereth Karnage, Silberfarben, Joe, Zillah Karnage, Silberfarben, Joe, CadCom Karnage, Silberfarben, Joe, Amanuensis Karnage, Silberfarben, Elbereth, Zillah Karnage, Silberfarben, Elbereth, CadCom Karnage, Silberfarben, Elbereth, Amanuensis Karnage, Silberfarben, Zillah, CadCom Karnage, Silberfarben, Zillah, Amanuensis Karnage, Silberfarben, CadCom, Amanuensis Karnage, Joe, Elbereth, Zillah Karnage, Joe, Elbereth, CadCom Karnage, Joe, Elbereth, Amanuensis Karnage, Joe, Zillah, CadCom Karnage, Joe, Zillah, Amanuensis Karnage, Joe, CadCom, Amanuensis Karnage, Elbereth, Zillah, CadCom Karnage, Elbereth, Zillah, Amanuensis Karnage, Elbereth, CadCom, Amanuensis Karnage, Zillah, CadCom, Amanuensis Silberfarben, Joe, Elbereth, Zillah Silberfarben, Joe, Elbereth, CadCom Silberfarben, Joe, Elbereth, Amanuensis Silberfarben, Joe, Zillah, CadCom Silberfarben, Joe, Zillah, Amanuensis Silberfarben, Joe, CadCom, Amanuensis Silberfarben, Elbereth, Zillah, CadCom Silberfarben, Elbereth, Zillah, Amanuensis Silberfarben, Elbereth, CadCom, Amanuensis Silberfarben, Zillah, CadCom, Amanuensis Joe, Elbereth, Zillah, CadCom Joe, Elbereth, Zillah, Amanuensis Joe, Elbereth, CadCom, Amanuensis Joe, Zillah, CadCom, Amanuensis Elbereth, Zillah, CadCom, Amanuensis Since the order in which we choose them doesn't matter, there are 35 possible choices of eliminator team. Then I use assumption #3 and start throwing out possible teams that make two players into eliminator teammates who I don't think could possibly be eliminator teammates: Karnage, Silberfarben, Joe, Elbereth #Silberfarben + Elbereth Karnage, Silberfarben, Joe, Zillah #Joe + Zillah Karnage, Silberfarben, Joe, CadCom #Karnage + CadCom Karnage, Silberfarben, Joe, Amanuensis Karnage, Silberfarben, Elbereth, Zillah #Silberfarben + Elbereth Karnage, Silberfarben, Elbereth, CadCom #Silberfarben + Elbereth AND Karnage + CadCom Karnage, Silberfarben, Elbereth, Amanuensis #Silberfarben + Elbereth Karnage, Silberfarben, Zillah, CadCom #Karnage + CadCom Karnage, Silberfarben, Zillah, Amanuensis Karnage, Silberfarben, CadCom, Amanuensis #Karnage + CadCom AND CadCom + Aman Karnage, Joe, Elbereth, Zillah #Joe + Zillah Karnage, Joe, Elbereth, CadCom #Karnage + CadCom Karnage, Joe, Elbereth, Amanuensis Karnage, Joe, Zillah, CadCom #Karnage + CadCom AND Joe + Zillah Karnage, Joe, Zillah, Amanuensis #Joe + Zillah Karnage, Joe, CadCom, Amanuensis #Karnage + CadCom AND CadCom + Aman Karnage, Elbereth, Zillah, CadCom #Karnage + CadCom Karnage, Elbereth, Zillah, Amanuensis Karnage, Elbereth, CadCom, Amanuensis #Karnage + CadCom AND CadCom + Aman Karnage, Zillah, CadCom, Amanuensis #Karnage + CadCom AND CadCom + Aman Silberfarben, Joe, Elbereth, Zillah #Silberfarben + Elbereth AND Joe + Zillah Silberfarben, Joe, Elbereth, CadCom #Silberfarben + Elbereth Silberfarben, Joe, Elbereth, Amanuensis #Silberfarben + Elbereth Silberfarben, Joe, Zillah, CadCom #Joe + Zillah Silberfarben, Joe, Zillah, Amanuensis #Joe + Zillah Silberfarben, Joe, CadCom, Amanuensis #CadCom + Aman Silberfarben, Elbereth, Zillah, CadCom #Silberfarben + Elbereth Silberfarben, Elbereth, Zillah, Amanuensis #Silberfarben + Elbereth Silberfarben, Elbereth, CadCom, Amanuensis #Silberfarben + Elbereth AND CadCom + Aman Silberfarben, Zillah, CadCom, Amanuensis #CadCom + Aman Joe, Elbereth, Zillah, CadCom #Joe + Zillah Joe, Elbereth, Zillah, Amanuensis #Joe + Zillah Joe, Elbereth, CadCom, Amanuensis #CadCom + Aman Joe, Zillah, CadCom, Amanuensis #Joe + Zillah AND CadCom + Aman Elbereth, Zillah, CadCom, Amanuensis #CadCom + Aman That leaves me with a shortlist of possible eliminator teams: Karnage, Silberfarben, Joe, Amanuensis Karnage, Silberfarben, Zillah, Amanuensis Karnage, Joe, Elbereth, Amanuensis Karnage, Elbereth, Zillah, Amanuensis And that's it. It's kind of neat how the number of possibilities really shrinks down with just a few starting points to go off of. To be clear, I don't particularly mean to end discussion. You might not agree with some of my assumptions, and my conclusion isn't true unless all of the assumptions I listed are also true. I will own up to the fact that some of my assumptions probably even should be controversial (mainly one or two of my trust reads), and I am definitely not opposed to discussing them with people.

Indeed, Kidpen and Megasif were exactly the ones I had in mind. I stand by those reads but I don't think everyone would necessarily agree with them. And yes, the lack of any possible eliminator team including CadCom was one of the unexpected results I found from running through the possibilities I had basically no read whatsoever on CadCom themself, but somehow the interactions and movements of the people around CadCom prove them innocent.

Sart Posted May 15, 2020 Report Share Posted May 15, 2020 Drake, I disagree with your process of elimination. Let me break down your assumptions. 7 hours ago, DrakeMarshall said: 1. I am pretty sure a game with 22 players would have 5 eliminators. That means there are 4 eliminators left. I don't disagree here. Six would be too many, and four would be too few, especially with the shade roleblock. 7 hours ago, DrakeMarshall said: 3.

Silberfarben arguing with Elbereth about whether El's vote was a poke vote or not doesn't seem like an interaction between teammates. I also agree with these assumptions.

You've cleared half of the village based on your trust list. If we assume there are four living eliminators, your trust list most likely includes an eliminator. From a purely statistical standpoint, there's only a 3% chance that you've excluded the traitors. Even if we accept that you're making this in good faith, and that you are telling the truth about being a villager, that only brings the chances up to 7%. And while I agree with some of your trust list, specifically myself and Megasif, I'm not willing to bet that the other four are all good. Furthermore, the way you've presented it makes it seem like Karnage and Aman are guaranteed to be eliminators. Compared to last cycle, we only have two votes, and both are on Karnage. I'm worried that this is killing discussion. Rereading last cycle, I saw no resistance to the Elkanah vote, and I'm noticing the same thing here. This type of solution just feels too easy. Yes, it would be great if those four combinations were the only possible Elim teams, but I highly doubt that. I've had a strange gut read on you that I haven't been able to explain, and this is just adding to it. You've also been tunneling on Karnage like crazy, and honestly I'm starting to come around on him. For those reasons, I'm voting on you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can think it yourself, but as soon as you post it, it becomes an invalid argument for everyone else. I do agree though, and trust Sart, so I'm going to move my vote to CadCom. That should give 3 options for the lynch, and hopefully force more people to post and vote. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
