Quick Fix Game 7: Living (and Dying) Rough

[Haelbarde he/him]

I guess the difference here is that anyone can pay to be a Rioter. It's dangerous in that it's votes that villagers scoundrels (sorry in advance if I keep using the wrong terminology) don't get to make, but also potentially useful for someone if they had information. For instance, if there is a scoundrel seeker, it gives them a way to influence the lynch vote without revealing themselves as target.

 

There is probably some information to be gained from the way auction votes are used, I get the feeling that we're going to need everything we get, so there's that. I wouldn't want there to be more than 2-3 votes available to buy though, unless everyone's voting. Even 3 is enough to swing a vote.

[Araris Valerian he/him]

I just hope I sent in my bid before anyone else And just in case there is some emotimancy, I'm gonna vote for Phatt. There have really been 3 decisions made by people in this game, and thus only really 4 people that should be voted for. There is myslef, who voted first and started this whole mess. There are Mailliw and Ostrich, who sold their votes, and thus did something public that can be analyzed, and then there is Phatt, who voted for the guy that started the entire productive discussion for the whole game. So I suggest that people take theri pick from that list of 4 people and vote wisely.

...What?

 

What are you saying that too?

 

On those four, you're not suspicious in that matter at all, since somebody needed to start it, if you hadn't I would have. Mailliw and Ostrich are probably just playing the long game, gathering coins so that they can control more votes in the late game. That could be taken either way. Spiked and Villagers alike would do that. Phattemer was simply acting on the little information he had, and came to a shaky conclusion. Any of those four could be spiked or not. I don't know. I'll leave my vote on Wonko, since he's still trying to Shanghai people into his guild.

[Mailliw73 he/him]

He was saying it to Fel's comment and I'd like to echo it. What??

[Jo and the Bush all/any]

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.

 

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

 

Huh. Not sure how I missed that. Dowanx isn't the doctor with the axe... Feligon, are youtrying to vote for Dowanx or Phattemer? And either way, it looks like another random vote to me. Just baddly worded.

[Wonko the Sane he/him]

Yeah. Ordinarily I wouldn't say something without context like that, but I thought it would be fine, since my post directly followed his.

 

And my vote on The Doctor was never meant to last through the cycle, whether he succumbed to the pressure or not; It was just a viral marketing campaign. I may be an unscrupulous recruiter, but I'm not that cruel. Nor would I give up my final vote just to recruit one member.

[Jo and the Bush all/any]

Then I'll retract my vote on Wonko and Vote for Panda, since he's still voting for me, and I've given him plenty of discussion.

Out of curiosity, how many of you actively check for white text?  Please respond in White text, don't tell the people who don't know.

[Mailliw73 he/him]

How should we decide the gun target? We should decide that soon so that we don't have as many random deaths. Joe, I get email notifications. No need to search.

Currently suggesting Fel for the kill, partly because I have no idea what the heck his last post means.

[Clanky he/him]

I'm not too sure but I think Feligon may be talking about LG11 when phat attempted to steal someones powers with a spike. Maybe?

[Lightsworn Panda he/him]

Then I'll retract my vote on Wonko and Vote for Panda, since he's still voting for me, and I've given him plenty of discussion.

Out of curiosity, how many of you actively check for white text?  Please respond in White text, don't tell the people who don't know.

 

Don't think you can get away with this, Joe! I'll have me cash back!

 

Mailliw, because you don't have a vote on you, and a retracted vote doesn't give you money. I had to move my vote off Joe to get his off me.

 

Edit: Changed vote to Surgebound Rainspren, since I'll probably get the same response from Mailliw, and Rainspren hasn't turned up yet.

White text saves lives.

Karlin looked up from his book to gaze at the spectacle unfolding before him. It seemed the thought of there being traitors among them had thrown them into a fit of finger-pointing. He sighed, shaking his head, and returned to his book. "At least the Lawmen will be found quickly" He thought "even if we lynch off our own ranks to do it".

 

Before we get to crazy with voting can we agree on something.

This game is an Isolated incident (for want of a better term). Players alignments in other games don't effect the alignment of those players in this game. Furthermore using voting to punish players is ridiculous, don't vote for people because they didn't understand the rules.

retract araris. will make green later. vote.. is now for joe. we do NOT shanghai.

I never shanghai'd, I counter Shanghai'd. And anyway, I'm not even voting for Wonko anymore. I retracted my vote on him.

 

I'm also retracting my vote for Panda. Voting for Emerald since no one's voted him yet.

I also don't think we should be spreading votes over everyone.  That leaves too much room for lawmen to manipulate the vote especially with vote buying mechanic.  

 

This is day one and because its day one I have no real suspicions like most of you.  That being said I am going to follow my gut and vote for Phat.

[phattemer]

Funny, I had a dream that I'd be lynched first cycle. Gut? What gut, I've done nothing. I really think you shouldn't do this, I'm not a lawman. it is not a good idea, why lynch someone random, it just helps the lawmen. I'll change my vote for now to DOWANX but I'll retract it if he retracts his.

"I think in my professional opinion that he is indeed dead." said Doctor McNinja as he stepped away from Warns corpse. "However cause of death is not so easy to ascertain."  

 

"Ummm Doc, he got shot in the head that's probably what did him in."

 

"Who are you to say that? Are you a Doctor? No, I didn't think so! Anyways based on my cursory examination most likely cause if death would be asphyxiation from being submerged in liquid."

 

"You mean drowning? There ain't nothing to drown in round here. We are trapped in this here cave and besides he was found in his room, dry and with a bullet in his head"

 

Doctor McNinja ignored the ridiculousness being spouted by his assistant. He wasn't even a doctor what could he know.

"Stop your babbling and take me to the other patient" 

[Lord Pifferdoo he/him]

I was the one, not Phatt. Araris. Piff. Why would the fact I was evil last game mean I'm evil this game?

 

Because logic. That's how.

[phattemer]

Excellent use of the 4 rules of the Fellowship of Fetid Fatal Physicians, Doctor McNinja. The Honorable... Seixa approves.

[Feligon he/him]

Axe Doctor.  Downax.

[Emerald101 he/him]

retracting my vote on haelbarde because he retracted off pifferdoo, and voting for Joe because he voted for me.

 

 

 

I'm also retracting my vote for Panda. Voting for Emerald since no one's voted him yet.

 

 

What kind of a reason is that?

 

Edit: on second thought, retracting off Joe and voting for Phatt to help prevent the lawmen from killing whoever they want with the votes they (probably) bought.

Yay!

[phattemer]

Thanks Feligon, you won't regret that. GAH! Emerald, why you do this? Killing someone random is... wait, you're right. Never mind, killing a random person is better than a definite non-lawmen. Color me embarrassed. But maybe not me, because I'm not a lawman, and to stop my dream from coming true?

Player Count

(Per Cycle)

Cycle 1: 17

Cycle 2: 14

Cycle 3: 11

Cycle 4: 8

Cycle 5: 5

Cycle 6: 2

 

I think that basically gives us Cycles 2-4 to work things out. The most annoying thing is that 17% of the player set will be dead before we gain any information.

 

Wyrmhero, what happens if the smoking gun targets person to get lynched? Because the Lynch target dies before the gun goes off, will it kill the holder, or no one? Also, how will voting results appear?

[Emerald101 he/him]

Shouldn't it be two deaths per cycle, one from the lawmen and one from the smoking gun?

 

Also, you can't forget abilities like the archivist and koloss-blooded.

 

Edit: wow, forgot lynching. I've been playing Mafia for years but i forget lynching. *facepalm*

We also have the Lynch vote, and the only way I see that failing is if no one at all votes. But that's never going to happen - Lawmen might as well just vote out who they don't like.

 

Also, you can't forget abilities like the archivist and koloss-blooded.

I had forgotten about those, true. I'd be surprised if there were any more than 2 Koloss-bloods though, and an archivist can only use their ability on one person per turn, and each player can only have their death prevent by an Archivist once also.

 

Oh, and that's something - Smoking Gun kill happens after Lawman kill, so if the Lawmen target the wielder of the smoking gun, then presumably the smoking gun won't go off that round.

 

So maybe things are as bad as I thought they were.
