The Unknown Medallion he/him Posted January 9 Posted January 9 AN12 - Night Two: Goals Beyond <Callsign: Fuschia Ostrich> Bangs and clatters rang against the door, but it did not give in to the mob's attacks. Razer was glad she had moved into the captain’s quarters, which had reinforced doors. Desperately, Fuschia called for anyone who would come to her aid, first through the door, then the comms system. The mob laughed and jeered at her pleas. Who was she? They asked. Lieutenant to the dead captain, perhaps the one who had killed her. They demanded to see the one who had the most to gain from Vulture's death. Fuschia knew that giving in would mean her end. They would tear her apart before she even reached the airlock. Fuschia kept messaging everyone she thought might help her, but even her guards were scared of the wrath of the mob. Finally, someone responded. Not a guard, but a loyal crewmember all the same. [Player] was on their way. Razer watched anxiously as the pin on her tablet moved towards the mob and her room. She didn't know how one person could handle the mob, but they were her only hope, the door was noticeably strained. She listened intently as the dot arrived. The mob's yells changed. They quieted for a moment, then a new chorus of yells began. Razer heard them through the door. Traitor. Trying to save the traitor. Get the saboteur. “No, please, they're just trying to help,” Razer cried, but the mob wasn't listening. A vent popped open. Razer whipped around. Someone crawled out of the vent. They wore a mask. “How badly do you want to live?” “What? Who are you, how did you get in here?” Razer asked. It had gone eerily quiet outside. “We have our ways. But we need you alive. We had to sacrifice Iguana to get this opportunity with you.” “We? You're a saboteur!” The masked man chuckled. “There's so little you understand. This is so much bigger than one ship. But we don't have time for this. In a few moments, they'll realize Saffron Iguana is a Saboteur, and they'll only become more convinced that you're one of us. I'm your only way out of here alive,” the man said. He said it firmly, without emotion. It was simply how it was. Razer looked to the door, where the mob had resumed their attack, their shouts even louder. She looked back to the man. They had killed Vulture. And the only way she could make them pay for that was by going with this man. “Fine. But on one condition. You tell me who you are,” she demanded, trying to maintain some semblance of control. The man pulled off his mask. He was smirking. “They call me Capone. Tin Capone.” When the mob broke through the door, the room was empty, and their bloodlust only grew. *¤*.¸¸.·'¨»*«''»*«'¨'·.¸¸.*¤* Vote Count: Taupe Gecko (1): Salmon Meerkat Sunburst Toucan (4): Scarlet Octopus, Saffron Iguana, Quartz Zebra, Plum Rhinoceros Scarlet Octopus (4): Violet Axolotl, Sunburst Toucan, Sapphire Elephant, Indigo Weasel Saffron Iguana (6): Oxblood Beagle, Onyx Flamingo, Mint Heron, Melon Dingo, Magenta Albatross, Ivory Dragonfly Saffron Iguana was executed.

Taupe Gecko Posted January 9 Posted January 9 … WHAT THE HECKHDBELSYXBEKWIHDMD … I can’t believe this I can’t freaking believe this … Also btw to all the people who didn’t understand my PM (it seems everyone) it was supposed to be the ending of the story I was telling in my RP post
Scarlet Octopus Posted January 9 Posted January 9 (edited) I have never seen this before. Well, that's good. Edit: Do we know if the Kandra has eaten someone yet? Edited January 9 by Scarlet Octopus

Mint Heron Posted January 9 Posted January 9 Just now, Scarlet Octopus said: For which three people? You, Toucan, Iggy. Ig's obviously just E but I'm trying to figure what this says about Toucan. I am enough of a pragmatist that I'd rather we put kill suggestions in the thread and let you pick so we can openly see who is trying to influence you especially if they are asking for choices that turn out to be bad

Mint Heron Posted January 9 Posted January 9 (edited) 6 minutes ago, Oxblood Beagle said: Atm I'm thinking E/V/V Fair. Toucan voting on Ocho is curious to me, still looks opportunistic. But Iggers willing to vote Toucan def suggests alignment less likely. (I guess the worlds this fails are ones where Toucan has a role they value less.) Am reminded Rhino defended Ig earlier I think. Need to look at it. 3 minutes ago, Scarlet Octopus said: I'm also thinking E/V/V, but there is also a world where Toucan is a sabetour. Yeah. Ideally I just wanna decide how I feel about him. But also deadline. I snuck over while waiting for painkillers to work. Edited January 9 by Mint Heron
Plum Rhinoceros Posted January 9 Posted January 9 What even is this game lol 10 minutes ago, Scarlet Octopus said: Edit: Do we know if the Kandra has eaten someone yet? Someone mentioned Kandra flips as the role they ate so this one did not. Which would mean we've likely got a Seeker That brings the Saboteurs' composition to - Seeker, Rioter, Kandra ; Seeker does hint at good quantity and quality of village PRs. Kandra depends on the gen, but it is still quite powerful that I would not expect them to have 2 of it.

Edit: Flamingo voting Iggy to make it a 5/5 tie + that convo with Iggy... I think they're unpaired. Just the interaction with Flam not being aware Iggy already self-pres voted feels very natural rather than fabricated. (At EoD.) My apologies Flam I've come around to a v!Flam world. Edited January 9 by Mint Heron
Scarlet Octopus Posted January 9 Posted January 9 So we know that there is at least one more Kandra, who is likely village, and who has the seeker role (eaten from Kanga). 14 minutes ago, Taupe Gecko said: Wait how do we know the bad guys have a Kandra? HAD a Kandra, we exed them tonight. 11 minutes ago, Mint Heron said: Yeah I got a feeling given Iggy's role they were trying to harvest Ocho. Yeah, scary thought. I also feel that exing Iggy solved our deepwolf problem.
Mint Heron Posted January 9 Posted January 9 Just now, Scarlet Octopus said: So we know that there is at least one more Kandra, who is likely village, and who has the seeker role (eaten from Kanga). It does assume Iggy chose to fight for it but I think that's a reasonable assumption. I also would not totally ignore the assumption there are more kandra. One CS and 2-3 Lurchers on the OG immortality+overspill rules is very broken. Sure, Jo changed the rules, but I wouldn't be surprised if the Elim team is skewed to kill amd scavenge roles either. Just not enough info. (To be clear I'm thinking aloud.) It's hard to think of the balance dynamics because an Elim team that kills the CS and harvests the CS not only removes the Village PR but also gains it. Tldr; idk off-the-cuff. Would like people making kill votes to Ocho to do it like a day vote (red bold) and in thread please. I want us to avoid a world Ocho has to thunderdome someone + this can be analysed. ...Yeah ok double painkillers it is man this crem don't do jack

Ivory Dragonfly Posted January 9 Posted January 9 15 minutes ago, Mint Heron said: Yeah I got a feeling given Iggy's role they were trying to harvest Ocho. Yeah Quote solved our deepwolf problem Opal Lion, Pearl Chameleon Quote Saffron Iguana (6): Oxblood Beagle, Onyx Flamingo, Mint Heron, Melon Dingo, Magenta Albatross, Ivory Dragonfly Is likely village
Mint Heron Posted January 9 Posted January 9 2 minutes ago, Ivory Dragonfly said: Opal Lion, Pearl Chameleon They should be hitting the PH clock soon. If they're not replaced, they'll be filter-killed so at a stage like this I always wanna say they're kind of self-resolving for the moment. 3 minutes ago, Ivory Dragonfly said: Is likely village Do you believe the entire train is clean or an "at most one Elim" kind of scenario? I can see either but IDK I have a strong read on Albatross, that lean was weak af. 6 minutes ago, Taupe Gecko said: Wait what’s your suggestion about Octo? Ocho asked people to PM them with kill suggestions. I don't think that's wise because it means Ocho ends up having to sift through all the lobbying. Either way, it's Ocho's role - Ocho makes the kill decision, ideally through a Village consensus kill pool. But we have just come off a day where at least four players are convinced Ocho is Evil and where Weasel (I do think he is Village btw) has generated enough FUD to create uncertainty around Ocho. Say Ocho does take a suggestion and flips a Villager tomorrow. Pretend it's the new Village Seeker. We wanna know who suggested it, how Ocho arrived at that decision. Either Ocho says they shoot that person at night, in which case we kind of just gotta trust Ocho to do it, or we functionally get a thunderdome, which is Ocho's word versus that player's word. I agree it's not a great trade for the Elims at likely current numbers but it still sucks and is messy. I want us to do it publicly - treat it like a vote, so all lobbying should be done to fellow Villagers and to Ocho. Ocho still picks from the pool. That way we can all see who is campaigning for what, who is trying to ask for what, and with more flips in the future, there's things to go back to analyse. This also places less of an analysis burden on one (1) Ocho, since everyone can see what's happening. It allows us to track evolution in views too because it's the difference between relying on Ocho to notice that someone seems to have had a very opportunistic switch of views compared to it being there for everyone to see, which will help in solving. Truth to be told, we are probably with enough of a numbers advantage it doesn't matter, but I also played a game where the Village had the game more or less won down to the last two Elims and then lost to a variety of bad reasons including vanity play, people not using their roles, and so on, so I kinda never want to be complacent - if we can avoid that kind of messy situation and farm out the analysis work, why not just do it? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Even if a target is protected, we now know there is a protecc where it shouldn't be, and we know it's likely unfriendly. We also know that target can die tomorrow night because Lurchers can't double-protect anymore. Anyway no guarantees we get PMs tomorrow so.

Honestly, we're in a great position right now, but because we've got three dead elims and 0 villa deaths, the villa to elim ratio has got to be insane. Octo's shot will almost certainly take out an ally... so why take it? It's not like we're under any imminent pressure

I agree. I would like all kill requests to me made in Bolded blue text in thread. You can still PM me kill suggestions, but I will post them and who sent them in the thread. 2 minutes ago, Taupe Gecko said: What if we get Octo to just... not shoot? That is my initial plan, actually. I planned not to kill anyone tonight. But I think letting the village vote is better. If you don't want me to kill, write No Kill Edit: I wonder what the dead doc looks like right now Edited January 9 by Scarlet Octopus
