Quick Fix Game 7: Living (and Dying) Rough

[Araris Valerian he/him]

Ok, with the way this lynch works, we don't have much chance of avoiding one this cycle. So I'll start everything off by voting for Jain . I take great offense in that my character was listed as short on our attendance sheet, and if that panda really was a doctor then he would have spoken up over such a blatant misdiagnosis.

[Mailliw73 he/him]

So, was the write up posted twenty minutes after 9 GMT?

With this vote, I think I'm going to auction mine off.

[Wyrmhero he/him]

The write-up was indeed posted at that time. If you auction your vote off, can you please do so in a different colour? Not red or green, of course, too confusing. But needs to be eye-catching.

Edit: Actually... I don't know, since we've changed clocks recently. At the very least, it was 9:20 here when I posted it.

[Mailliw73 he/him]

Okay, so that's 2pm Mountain Time for those in the U.S.

Officially, I hereby auction my vote off.

[ostrichofevil he/him]

I'll Sell my vote too.  If no one buys it, do I still get money?

[Wyrmhero he/him]

If you auction your vote and no one buys, then you lose your change to vote and you don't get any money. Remember that you cannot retract a sold vote. Purchasing is done in private and is first-come, first-served when differentiating between the highest bidders.

[Mailliw73 he/him]

So, Ostrich is that official? I used orange, so I think that's an easy way to differentiate between votes and sold votes.

And not everyone should be selling their votes, that takes away the point.

[Feligon he/him]

Hmm...  now, here's the thing.  I have no idea who is really guilty, so I'll just shoot randomly, normally this works.  The doctor with the axe.  There, that wasn't so hard.  He is suspicious because he cleaned his axe recently.  Was it dull from cutting into people's homes?  That, I don't know but he sounds like he has a frog in his mouth.  Therefore, only he could be responsible for the acts of axe (try saying that five times, fast).  What does this mean?  He has amphibian breath, much worse than lizard breath, if you ask me.  That's why I randomly voted for Downax.  I would have thought this was obvious.

[Lightsworn Panda he/him]

A poke vote on Joe for some discussion and for my money.

[Haelbarde he/him]

Dr Rab Heatherlocke would like to point out that while he is a doctor (he has a badge, so it must be true), he neither carries a stethoscope, nor does he have a white coat. I mean, surely you all can see that, right? The fact I've been wearing this lovely canary yellow jacket the whole time?

 

So, I guess at this point, we just want to get some discussion going, so I'm going to poke Lord Pifferdoo.

 

EDIT:

Wyrm, a question if I may. for the lynch votes, will we be getting a tally at the beginning of the next cycle? If so, how do Auctioned votes appear? As in, Mailliw has auctioned of his vote this round (and he can't retract that). Will his name appear in a list of voters should someone purchase his vote and use it on someone?

 

Also, slightly concerned about how the mechanics seem to favour the Lawmen this game. Of course, I'm new, and could be misreading things

[Wonko the Sane he/him]

"Doctor Wintre, is that true? How is it that we've never gotten together to discuss our work? No matter; we're here now. My name is Nowko Lestibournes; I specialize in the study of bronzepulses. It's a fascinating area, not least of which because it is just so poorly understood -- I would argue that of the sixteen metals, bronze is the most mysterious, Allomantically speaking." Nowko paused for effect, taking the opportunity to push his glasses back up his nose.

 

"Take this: the histories say that the Warrior Ascendant could feel the Well of Ascension calling to her across the world with her bronze. But how is this possible? Surely the Well was not burning metals at the time! And this is just the tip of the iceberg! If you'll just excuse me, I must go and fetch my notes..." The short, wiry man bustled off, seeming almost to have forgotten that he was involved in a conversation.

 

 

 

A vote on The Doctor (ostrichofevil), that will be rescinded as soon as he joins the Doctors' Guild. Come, my friend, you belong there if anyone does!

A vote for Dr Rab Heatherlocke (Haelbarde) on account of his voting for Lord Pifferdoo.

 

*fades back into the background hopefully unnoticed*

[Haelbarde he/him]

@Emerald: awwww. Does that mean that if I switch my vote, you'll move yours?

 

Now, Dr Rab Heatherlocke would also like to add to his previous comments that he is upset with the perpetrator of the murder of Warn for marring the good name of doctor by his actions as a lawman.

[Haelbarde he/him]

I think the rule which gives us money to vote, plus the fact we have no info yet, is more the reason for the random voting.

 

Also, for the record, be careful about auctioning of your votes. I think it's a dangerous practice.

[Clanky he/him]

Dowanx. I don't even think you are a real doctor! Where are you credentials?!

 

I think that for at least today it will be completely random voting. If there is only one vote per person then it will just be a random person dying which may be the best for the first round.

I vote for Araris. I would revenge-vote Feligon, but I'd rather kill someone who started a random kill than do a random kill or a irrational-vengeance kill.

[Araris Valerian he/him]

You want to kill the person that began the lynch discussion? I implore you dear fellow, look to they day 1 discussion of any game and you will see that players like Meta are almost always in favor of a day 1 lynch. It does seem as if Jain isn't going to show up. Now, the only person that makes sense for me to vote for is phatt, since he wants me dead and is disregarding the whole randomness factor. However, if I vote for somebody else then I could create a 2-way tie. I'll leave things as they are and see what happens. When does the cycle end?

[Lord Pifferdoo he/him]

I'm going to vote for Winter, for the sole reason that she was evil in the LG. 

That's right, I'm going Meta on this one.

 

Not you, Meta.

Not yet. 

 

By the way Haelbarde, if you don't vote for me, I'll make you a stethoscope that is coated in a deadly poison!

[Jo and the Bush all/any]

Dang, usually I'm lucky and the writeup is when I'm home. But this game I'll be 7 hours late to the party every cycle.

 

A poke vote on Joe for some discussion and for my money.

Your Money? I never took any of your money scoundrel! You take that back!

Yes, yes, i know you're talking about getting paid, but that's not what it sounds like.

 

A vote on The Doctor (ostrichofevil), that will be rescinded as soon as he joins the Doctors' Guild. Come, my friend, you belong there if anyone does!

I will vote for Wonko the Sane! to be retracted when he leaves the guild of doctors. MUAHAHAHA!!!

I think that for at least today it will be completely random voting. If there is only one vote per person then it will just be a random person dying which may be the best for the first round.

That will probably result in the spiked lynching a experienced player, especially since there are two auctioned off votes already, so we can't count on those being placed on people without votes. Actually, I don't think anyone should buy a vote today, since there's not enough info yet.

 

We also need a plan for the smoking Gun. Are we just going to leave it up to the player to decide who kills who? I say we use the votes to decide. If we can all agree to shoot whoever has the second most votes, then we might be able to get more information from the smoking gun kills if someone without enough votes is shot.

 

EDIT1:

 

A vote for Dr Rab Heatherlocke (Haelbarde) on account of his voting for Lord Pifferdoo.

 

*fades back into the background hopefully unnoticed*

Why are you so protective of Pifferdoo?

[Wonko the Sane he/him]

You fiend! I'll never give in! I am a doctor, even to the grave.

 

With the votes as spread as they are, are we sure there will even be a clear second place?

[Haelbarde he/him]

By the way Haelbarde, if you don't vote for me, I'll make you a stethoscope that is coated in a deadly poison!

To be clear, is that you'll kill me by poisoned stethoscope if I shift my vote, or you'll give me a stethoscope to kill people with as a reward for not voting. 'Cos I'm hoping its the latter. If the former, well, I'm dead either way... Regardless, I'll rescind my poke vote on Lord Pifferdoo, and keep it to myself for the time being.

 

Hope that lets you (re)move your vote from me, Emerald.

At this stage, that sounds like a good idea to me, though it does still allow the Lawmen some influence over who the villagers target. Some discussion on plans for the smoking gun would be good.

 

A query: What happens if the player with the smoking gun targets the person to be lynched. The Lynch happens before the gun goes off. Does it miss, kill someone random, or kill the owner?

 

I agree with The Only Joe - probably best to not buy votes this round. Another question though - Is 'No Vote' a valid vote option, and if so, can a vote bought at auction be allocated to 'No Vote'?

 

EDIT 1:

Bah, I hate to keep agree with the same person already, but he keeps saying things that I've been thinking. Gonna have to post them first next time.

This is a question I would like answered Emerald. Edited April 15, 2015 by Haelbarde

[Mailliw73 he/him]

Okay, a couple things. First off, let's not lynch the new guy. How rude of you to begin voting for Hael when this is his first game.

Second, I don't think auctioning off or buying votes is a bad thing. Obviously not too many people should auction off their vote, but it could be useful for us to see where the vote goes. I would suggest a max of two players auctioning per cycle. Buying votes isn't a bad thing. It allows us to have more control over the lynch. It's essentially a Riot, without the drawback of losing your own vote. No ones ever complained about the Rioters much before.

Joe' I like that idea about the gun. Whether or not we decide for it to be the second most voted for or not, I think we should definitely discuss who to use it on.

[Lord Pifferdoo he/him]

The deal is done! 

 

And sometimes people just protect me, for no reason whatsoever. 

So thank you Emerald, for your kind words that were actually accusatory towards someone else. 

[Feligon he/him]

Phatt, It's not my fault you got lynched.  Blame yourself and don't randomly kill people just for their powers.  An ally with those powers is more helpful than just the powers.  I'm saying powers a lot, but who cares?  Powers are awesome.  I'm powering up my power to empower the Scoundrel powers.  The powers lines are not out, so power to the people.  This post kinda got away from me.

 

My vote is there to stay, you all know my absolutely rational reasoning.
