Mid-Range Game 24: Baleful Eye

Yeah, OK, but if Arinian is right there was no Cabal kill last cycle.

And, Mark, how do you know all of that stuff about the factions? Sure, we knew there are 4 factions, and thanks for letting us know about all this stuff, but how do you know so much about them? Doesn't exactly make me suspicious, just wary. How did you find all that info out?

EDIT: Also, there was no vote manipulation on D2. Majestic was lynched, and since they were a Jester role the person with the second-most votes was lynched instead. Or that's what I think happened.

Just like I said I did. It's all there in the thread. 

Basically, 3 of the four factions are mentioned by name. The reckoners, the Cabal and the malcontents. Notice the wording " [Roadwalker] was a malcontent". So, we know malcontents is a faction. 

If what Elenion ( I think it was elenion) says is true, there's a faction called loyal citizens. I'm inclined to believe him because it sort of makes sense (I can't really put it into words). 

Now, note that whenever an epic died, their powers were revealed and whenever a reckoner died, their items were revealed. We've had two epics die, and each had two powers. We've seen a reckoner die, and they had exactly two items. So, I conjecture that each team member on both sides started with two abilities granted by power in case of the epics and item in case of the reckoners. 

Now, the malcontent dies with no items. 

Given that this is a faction game, I'd think the GMs would want to make it as equalised as possible. So, as the Reckoner analogue to the Loyal citizens, you have the malcontents who haven't spoken up due to the stigma against the reckoners since the start of this game. 

 

As a note to both factions, faction supporters and other neutrals, I would like to request you to not kill me sharing this info. I'm simply trying to generate discussion in thread. 

 

Re: Vote manip. 

Ah. I see. 

 

Edit: ninja'd twice.  

I'd forgotten that Ecth had said that.

Hm. Now I'm curious. There could be some interesting mechanics in place here.

EDIT: Also, Jon was a Reckoner informations expert or something.. Maybe a scanner role? So now the Reconers are just killing blindly.

I'm not accusing Mark of anything, Arinian. I'm just curious as to where he got that information. He seems to be pretty sure of it, having said that he's willing to share more info if we leave him alive.

I'm accusing you, though, of trying to pass off Flash's death as him being Mint's lover, which doesn't seem likely, seeing as his role wasn't "Lover" as it should be in this case, unless Mint's role had some differences from an ordinary lover role.

Why he should be called Lover? You have seen some rule about it or what or something else that I don't know? Or you know something about it that others don't know? Share with us why you so pretty sure in it. You can look LG35 where lovers role were named not Lovers(but something else, too lazy to check), of course  LG35 was not blackout game but that doesn't mean that in this game both Lovers should be called Lovers.

[Eternum he/him]

Well, I've only played ordinary Mafia before, but there, if a Lover role exists, both of them are called the same thing.

You did not learn anything from your previous game? Where was jester role elim(truthless) and secret role elim(Nale). This is blackout game we can have here anything.

Also, okay. Lets imagine if I really had tried to convince(and I'm not) people that Mint is Flash's lover... What I will get from that? No, really what? I can't see any profit from that, it's would just make me to look  bad if real Lover will reveal himself. Maybe I'm missing some profit from it, but really I don't see it.

So I don't understand in what you accusing me... it's like accusing someone that in RP he\she is Epic.

Also Jon was not information expert but:

1. Jon - Jondesu, amazing with computers but absolutely useless when it comes to talking to people Reckoners Demolitions Expert

And if I'm not wrong he only have had 1 item called explosives or something like that.

Oh god! Yes, I mixed up my notes. Yes, Jon had only one item. 

Which makes me slightly uneasy about my assumptions. 

I'm still fairly confident about the malcontents thing, but I'm not very sure about there being the same number of people in both teams now.

Eternum's explained himself (yay! generating discussion!) and Mark seems like he's a pretty useful source of information (I imagine you have a PM-making ability, as there are things you know that haven't been stated publicly?) I'll move my vote to Arin, but primarily for the former of Eternum's two reasons rather than the latter--his vote on Mint still seems pretty sus; solidifying bandwagons screams scum.

Would you mind sharing your win condition now?

What the reasons???? What I don't see ANY reasons? I already answered to all his "reasons". I voted on Mint cause I'm neutral  I don't want random lynches, or you counting as reason that I guessed that Flash is Lover? Two votes are bandwagon? I knew 100% that someone in this game have vote manip(I'm talking about Sedatives) and solidified lynch nothing else, I just wanted to avoid random lynch. And I was right when I've done what I've done cause winter retracted her vote and so if not I or Mark lynch would result in random.

Also damnation people I really should every time write IT'S JUST A GUESS when it's just a GUESS so no one would try to lynch me for that or what?

I'm damnation neutral, I'm not Epic. I can go inactive for rest of the game if you want so.

[Megasif he/him]

Hey everyone, just posting to let you know I'm still here. This is one of the most confusing games ever. Probably because I haven't been on too much.

Since everyone's claiming, I'm kinda like a neutral role as well. Though independent from the other neutrals I believe, since I don't have any teammates.

I see there are some votes this turn, thought I don't think I'm in position to vote as I've been out of touch and don't want to end up on a villager, since I'm with them in spirit.

Missed that.

After you will share your alignment, fair trade that would be.

 

[Elenion he/him]

After how helpful Mark just was to my understanding of the game state, I'm not really inclined to lynch him. Mark

Something I do want everyone to notice is that Epic powers on one side seem to be balanced by items on the other. And here Alv is claiming to have lost 2 items. That means he's very likely not an epic or Loyal Citizen (because I have no items), and therefore likely either a Malcontent or a Reckoner.

Edit: Road didn't have any items, so that makes it more likely that Alv is a Reckoner than a Malcontent.

Edit 2: Vote tally:

Arin (3): Ecth, Drake, Eternum

Mark (1): Alv

Alv (2): Len, Mark

@Drake Marshall @Eternum Would you consider switching your votes to Alv, a likely Reckoner? (Ecth is at work until after rollover)

Edited August 29, 2017 by Elenion

[Arinian]

Oh, almost forgot Alv. I honestly don't want to vote on Alv but for me I much more important then Alv . Usualy when I vote on Alv it results in my death or lynch... lets see how it goes this time.

The cycle didn't end?

Oh.

Ummm I'd consider switching my vote, but I don't really see the case against Alv.

I don't think possession of items is incriminating, since I started out with an (albeit pretty useless) item and I'm not evil

[Arinian]

Wow... that many deaths. And I'm voted on Alv and survived! First time! Hooray!

[King Cole he/him]

My god, so many people are dead now

[Ecthelion III he/him]

Mark survived an attack, did he? Well, methinks I found myself the person who stole my motion sensor. Mark IV, prepare for vengeance.

[Hemalurgic Headshot he/him]

So Asterion needed to kill the Penitent Murderer to achieve his win-con. And I think that the Informant had something to do with it?

Technically only two people have won so far.

 

There are two options why Eternum was Tachyon. ONE: He RP-ed as his role, because why not? TWO: Seonid named Eternum's Epic by request? Which means...

STONER!!!!!!!

 

Seriously, if there is a Stoner out there, PM me. I'll consider it my personal win-con to find you.

[Shqueeves]

So i was gone basically all last week. Anybody feel like catching me up on goings on?

To clarify: your motion sensor allows the owner to survive an attack?

@Mark IVWhat do you have to say about your survival?

[DrakeMarshall he/him]

Wow. That's a lot of dead people.

Anyway.

@Paranoid King I don't suppose you have a means to PM me? I think I can help you.

@King Cole I'd also be very interested in getting contact with you.

Peace out folks. I'll have more time for this later. I swear.

I... I....
*Cries*
I... Have no idea who saved me. THANK YOU! to whoever saved me.
I have no items that can protect me from an attack. So, thank you for saving me.

 

On a side note, I suspect that the SK theory was correct, seeing as that was the first time for a simultaneous third kill.

What do you guys think?

[King Cole he/him]

@Drake Marshall I'd be fine with that.
