Mid-Range Game 24: Baleful Eye

[Megasif he/him]

Ok so I won't be too active this game. And I can only check from phone so...

I don't mind either a random kill or Lynch but currently don't have any suspicions.

BOOM! And impulse disappeared with a gust of wind, off to visit the gun tycoon. 

The bird frowned, staring at the gun. He picked it up with one clawed foot. His scaly toes, unfortunately, could not reach the trigger. He frowned again, then hung it on the wall inside the shop. Now, where was he? Oh yes. Lizard cocktails had apparently failed as a business venture. He needed something bigger, flashier. Lizard rifles, duh. He nabbed a lizard and stuck it on the end of an assault rifle. Nope. That didn't work. Maybe he would just stick to guns. He retrieved his walkie talkie from under his wing, and radioed his team. Within twenty minutes, they arrived with his portable base. They started setting up. Within another fifteen minutes, it was all set up and they were shipping food and personal items in.

How many lizards are in this city anyway 

I'm going to RP some more once the next cycle comes up. I think I'll try to intersect with all the rest of y'all RP'ers.

I know. I'm just poking you back. Also, it's only a few hours before the rollover. The more votes that we have still on makes it easier for vote manipulators to chose the lynch. I'd rather have a decisive vote on one person instead of leaving it to chance. Votes like these make me anxious. 

So I guess I'll make the chance a bit more simple. This isn't anything personal, Jon, but I'm really not up for vote manipulators having free reign. Random chance is one thing. 

How do you even know there are vote manipulators?

There might not be, but it's a pretty common role across a variety of games. 

But this is blackout. You can't know for sure....

 

What if there are vote manipulator manipulators? 

[Majestic he/him]

Just now, winter devotion said:

Then I guess we'll find out next cycle. 

That's just manipulation. 

Why next cycle? They might not choose to manipulate....?

 

You, Winter, smell of manipulation to me.

Of am I just manipulating you?

[Steeldancer he/him]

Just now, winter devotion said:

I'm guessing! 
Gah.

This is so IKYK it hurts my brain. 

[Majestic he/him]

You'll never know whether I'm a manipulator role, manipulating you, or pretending to be a manipulator 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

My head hurts.

[Sparkrunner he/him]

Ok. Majestic. What I believe just happened was winter slipped, so majestic comes in smoothly with a distraction.

Haha, last time I checked I wasn't smooth, but thanks for the compliment though!

What I see here is Road trying to pin somebody suspicious down, and I was bait because I was messing around.

I've said before I'm neutral, but hey, lynch me!

Umm, that seems like a really weird way to do it.  I get that I already have one other vote, but any vote manip is going to be able to swing the vote to anyone with at least one vote without any problem.

Honestly?  I can believe that.  I'd be fine lynching winter as well, but I'll buy into the theory and switch my vote for now from Elith to Majestic.  Partially for self-preservation, but it did have the feel of winter and Majestic having discussed this in a doc and then coming here to give the idea, not realizing how similar their posts would sound.

EDIT:

Just now, winter devotion said:

hfiehfruiet;etaierht agah what the heck is going on and why are people even assuming there's an evil faction anyway. 

Because there's almost always an evil faction.

[Majestic he/him]

Really Jon? I was messing around and having fun when BOOM two people vote for me. That's what I get I guess for not being serious.

 

I'll get on a computer in a bit and actually vote.

[Majestic he/him]

Uhh last I checked I've been serious for the past two posts and you're last was gibberish AND (may I add) kinda suspicious because there can't really be a Town vs Elim game without Elim...

[Majestic he/him]

Just now, winter devotion said:

Yeah, one person claimed they're a "Loyal Citizen" and everyone assumes they're being honest. I might as well admit I'm neutral as well, because I'm waiting for someone else to back that up. 

EDIT: and I'm waiting, not because I'm waiting.

I wouldn't doubt that claim to be honest...

It's not necessarily town Vs elim. We don't know that yet. Sure, there may be various factions, but none of them may be The Elims^TM.

It's all ambiguous right now.

Figured out the superscript bbcode. :D

[Majestic he/him]

Just now, winter devotion said:

And you've claimed neutral too so how do you know? It wasn't in either of our PMs. 

Because, like you've said, "I might as well admit I'm nuetral", and there's no proof to the contrary, so why would I call you out on that? I'll only get lynched, which is what looks like will happen.

Does anybody have a lynch tally on them?

[Majestic he/him]

You know what, I'm going to just take a bit of a break to count to 10 and other frustration management techniques because I'm getting too emotionally involved in this game. 

I'm sorry because I've obviously offended you.

 

I am very frustrating and it's a bad trait I have to work on...

 

Edit: I'm on a PC now so Jon.

My alternate idea is a contribution crusade. But it's day 2 and that's an awful idea as our first lynch on every level. 

But that won't stop me from poke votes. @Paranoid King pk where you at? 

Nomming on chocolate while looking over the city.

No wait, that was last cycle.

 

Relick touched a cinderblock and activated his power.

Half-brick. Sarcophagi. Ritual king stick. Flintlock rifle.

He picked it up with care. It was time to enter the fray.

Relick burst into the nearest building, leering at the civilians inside. "It's time for a taste of EPICNESS!"

The civilians huddled back into a corner. Relick aimed at the most helpless-looking one, and pulled the trigger.

Blast. Out of bullets. They really needed to arm their museum pieces better.

"You haven't seen the last of me!" He leapt out of the window and ran off cackling.

 

Soooo. Voting. C1 voting.

Rebecca, King Cole, Lemonelon, and Majestic are all new. And Eternum sort of is, too.

Up for the vote, I think we have Jon (1), PK (1), and Majestic (2). I'd rather not vote Majestic.

So, Drake.

Any specific reason?

The only reason I could back Flash up is because I think we are the same role based on his comment

No, I mean, did he randomly pick Drake or is there reason behind that choice?

Oh right.

Could be a poke vote.

[Mark IV he/him]

Possibly. 

But, it's a vote in the last hour. A poke vote makes no sense. 

IMO, votes in the last part of a cycle should be backed by some reason. But, that's just my opinion.

Semi-randomly. (I ruled out the inexperienced players and flash, because I always try to kill flash C1)

I'm just giving an alternative to Jon and Majestic.
