jluck Posted January 30, 2015 Posted January 30, 2015 OK. I have something to say to all you trees out there. I am the Town Miller. This means that if I am investigated, I will appear as a Maple I've claimed my role to someone in PM and they advised me to claim it out loud. I'm choosing to claim it now because I feel I am likely to be the investigator's target tonight and I wouldn't want them to waste their investigation on me and get the wrong result. There are no real benefits to me staying silent as at some point I will probably be investigated and claiming it after an investigation report would make me look like caught scum trying to escape. Believe my claim if you like. Investigator, just remember that whether I am lying or not, I am guaranteed to appear as a Maple to your investigation so there is no point in checking me tonight. Millers should always claim day 1, you're right to do so. With a bit more experience, you'll notice millers always claim, usually in their first post. While it's risky, it's necessary. The alternative would be an investigation and guaranteed lynch.
Zepher Posted January 30, 2015 Posted January 30, 2015 If he is maple, there are also likely maple on the bandwagon! Both of the possibilities will be useful in later days, in accordance on how the lovely trees vote later on!
Dragonfire Posted January 30, 2015 Posted January 30, 2015 Claiming on day 1, any role, is risky business; what led you to think it was safe to do so? This being said, your move is the townie thing to do so I'm inclined to believe it for now. I weighed up the possible benefits/drawbacks, and decided that there were more benefits to claiming. As I said, it would avoid the investigator wasting an investigation and then a day's lynch on me. I wouldn't have claimed had I had any other role, but in this case I decided that it was optimal to claim. I doubt there would be more than one Miller, so if anyone can refute Berty's claim, I think it would behoove us to hear it. Behoove? Since when is that word in my vocabulary? I would laugh if the Maples tried to counter-claim me, but I doubt they will because it is a very risky move. Any counter-claiming Maple would die very quickly- it would make it 50/50 between us.
Hinckley Posted January 30, 2015 Posted January 30, 2015 I would laugh if the Maples tried to counter-claim me, but I doubt they will because it is a very risky move. Any counter-claiming Maple would die very quickly- it would make it 50/50 between us. Correct. And a counter-claiming Oak would make you a Maple.
Dragonfire Posted January 30, 2015 Posted January 30, 2015 I'm quite flattered you added me there. And what information will we even get out of it if he turns up as an Oak? That we killed one off? That's some nice information that'll be put into good use. If Alastair turns out to be an Oak, we can analyse his interactions with others and deduce whether they are likely to be a townie or a Maple. We can also look at his bandwagon and find scum on it. There are a lot of people who jumped on his bandwagon around the 7-8 vote mark in a very suspicious way. If Alastair is town, there is definitely scum on his wagon. Not much, but it's something. Yeah, I was thinking that too. Even if he isn't town, there are likely to be scum on his wagon. However, if Alastair does turn up to be a Maple, then we should look at the late voters on his bandwagon and those who voted for Bruce (the secondary wagon to Alastair).
Yzalirk Posted January 30, 2015 Posted January 30, 2015 There are a lot of people who jumped on his bandwagon around the 7-8 vote mark in a very suspicious way. If Alastair is town, there is definitely scum on his wagon. Not much, but it's something. You are right about that but it doesn't really help considering there are quite a lot of people who voted for him. And how do we know that all scum voted for Alastair and didn't "scatter" their votes? That's what concerns me. Nonetheless, if Alastair turns up as an Oak tomorrow, I think we should look at who started the bandwagon against him and who jumped on it without having a strong conviction against him.
Walter Kovacs Posted January 30, 2015 Author Posted January 30, 2015 Day 1 has ended. With 15 votes, Alastair Pear (Brickelodeon) is the first to be lynched. Alden Alder passes the information on to the logger's camp. "Boys," Mr Big Chief bellows, "Pack up our gear! We have a date with a Pear tree tonight!" You have 24 Hours to turn in your night actions.
