def Posted March 23, 2013 Posted March 23, 2013 DAY THREE On the playground, the kids surround Li'l Scouty. "Yer scummy! Explain that!" Li'l Scouty is perplexed. "What? I answered every question you had, then you asked more. You asked me to nominate people, I did, then you called me erratic." He sighs a weary, Charlie Brown sigh. "I give up, and you call me a poor sport. So I defend myself, and you call it a scum flail. Screw you all. If I could punch you all in the sack right now, I would. I would like to punch each and every one of you square in the sack. Sack you all. My knuckles, smacking your li'l lima beans like a punching bag. Those li'l enflamed lima beans flapping like a flag in the wind. Back and forth, flippity floppity. The reverberation of fist on sack, echoing far off into the distance. Sackity sack sack sack. Pom! Pom pom pom! I can visualise it, as if the skin of my outer hand were colliding with your little green peas right now. Comic-like squiggly lines and stars emanating from your groins. Man, I'd jus--" The whole gang, except for Li'l Pally pile on the poor beaver. Li'l Pally explains, "Nah, I wouldn't feel good about this, I voted for Li'l Nightshroud." He turns and walks away from the distasteful gang on beaver action. "Ooooh...." The class comes inside for the morning bell. "Good morning class!" "Good morning Mr. def!" "Ah, now this is a more manageable class size. It's very hard to provide a good education with one teacher to 20 students." He looks them up and down. "Wait a moment! Let me do a headcount! If Li'l Scouty and Li'l Corny are dead, then there should be 17 of you, and I only see 16. Is one of you missing?" The students look around the room. "Sir, I think there's something under the table!" Li'l Hinck says, opening his pie hole. A small pool of blood has begun to congeal from under the table. The kids lift it up. "Gah!" moans Li'l Walty at the sight of the bloody Li'l Foog. Li'l Hinck comes closer to his body. "Sir, he's still breathing!" Li'l Foog breathily states his parting words... "Hey ... I know...he... who... k-killed m-me... ha...it was... Xeno's Thetans.... I will live... on..." Coughing blood, he sputters, "Sh-show me... the... moneeeeeeee..." With that, Li'l Foog's candle is snuffed. "Well, that is certainly an interesting way to start the day. And, before any of you speak, no, I'm quite sure Li'l Foogie was killed by one of you, and not by that new age sci-fi mumbo jumbo nonsense he was spouting when he died, so don't waste time theorising what it meant... Or do so if you need to, but it's a waste of time." "Oh, and congratulations on your Townie hat trick last night, you got three! Now, if you were the statistical type, that means there are now 16 of you. Of those, at least four are scum, and, should they have recruited perfectly, potentially six could be scum. Look around you, consider that well." "And of course, please vote to replace your deceased mayor." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Day three has started. Again a little early. I have decided to end days at 11 pm instead of midnight, as it fits much better with my schedule, meaning days end will be about an hour and a half from this post, for the remainder of the game. The Host Mr. def (def) - the teacher The Players Li'l Boy Wonder (Boy Wonder) - sleeps a lot Li'l Callmepie (CallMePie) - cranky Li'l Capt. Redblade (Capt. Redblade) - foppy hair Li'l Cecilie (Cecilie) - gung ho Li'l Chrome Knight (Chromeknight) - roo Li'l Endgame (Endgame) - hit puberty early Li'l Hinckley (Hinckley) - Jesus Solo Li'l Kieldaman (Kieldaman) - cosplay fanatic Li'l Nightshroud (Nightshroud) - poindexter Li'l Palathadric (Palathadric) - ninja boy Li'l Pandora (Pandora) - stickler Li'l Peanuts (Peanuts) - soft head Li'l Pirate Dave (PirateDave) - piratier than Li'l Big Cam Li'l Rick (Rick) - tolerating Li'l Walter Kovacs (Walter Kovacs) - bandaged Li'l Zepher (Zepher) - not an alien The Dead Li'l Big Cam (Big Cam) - Died day one, butt blew up Li'l TrumpetKing (TrumpetKing) - Lynched day one - his enthusiasm was erratic Town Li'l DannyLongLegs (DannyLongLegs) - killed night one - swinging in Hell Scum Li'l Scouty (Scouty) - lynched on day two - piled on Townie Li'l Cornelius Murdock (Cornelius Murdock) - killed night two - Townie mayor of nothing Li'l Fugazi (Fugazi) - killed night two - Townie flew into the danger zone Rules (deviations from the normal EB rules are struck-through) 1. Each player will be given a character to play, who will be aligned with either the Town or the Scum. To win the game, the Town must kill off all the Scum, while the Scum needs to (knowingly) outnumber the Town. Third-party (neutral) characters have their own win conditions as outlined in their roles. 2. Each day you will be able to vote to lynch a player. Voting will be done in the following format; Vote: Player. Similarly, unvoting is to be done in the format;Unvote: Player. No other format will be accepted. A majority vote is required to lynch a player. The player with the most votes will be lynched. In the case of a tie, the mayor will decide the lynch, through their vote, or by PM if necessary. Voting is mandatory. Failure to vote will incur a vote penalty the following game day. 2.5. A mayor will be elected in the first 24 hours of the game day one. Voting for the mayor will be done in the following format:Mayor: Player. Unvoting for the mayor will not be allowed. One may vote for themselves. In the case of a tie, the first person to achieve that number will win. In the case that the mayor loses their life, a new mayor will be elected in the first 24 hours of the following game day. The mayors single duty will be that of tiebreaker. 3. A game day will last a maximum of 72 hours. You may not vote in the first 24 hours. The day will end when a majority vote has been reached after 72 hours. In the case of a unanimous vote, the day may end 24 hours early. After the day has been concluded, a night stage will commence, which will last 24 hours (or 48 hours if an emergency comes up). Night actions must be sent to the host in the first 24 20 hours of the night stage. 3.5. Players may not target the same player two nights in a row, and may not target themselves. 4. The alignment of lynched players, as well as any that died during the night, will be revealed at the beginning of the next day. 5. You may not quote or pretend to quote anything sent to you by the host via PM. That includes all the details of your character and role, as well as any night action results. Role claims and reporting of night action results are acceptable, but in your own words only. Do not attempt to use the structure of your role PM to your advantage. 5.5 Do not use the wording of the host to publicly back up your claims. Statements about the game made before the game started are fair game, but those made in game should not be considered either way in strategising. 6. Do not play the game outside the thread. Similarly, do not post out of character inside the thread. Game tactics and roles may only be discussed in the game thread or via PM with other players. Private discussion is done at your own risk and should be treated as part of the game. 7. If you are dead, you may not post in thread or discuss the game with any of the players. Any information you had becomes void, and may not be passed on. 8. You may not edit your posts. 9. You must post in every day thread. 10. If you encounter a problem or have a question, please contact the host via PM. Do not spam the hosts's PM box. 11. Violation of the above rules may result in a 5 vote penalty vote penalty per every 4 living players against you, and death upon further offense.
Nightshroud99 Posted March 23, 2013 Posted March 23, 2013 Scientologists... But what a crappy night; two kills and I'm guessing our vig is alive because of the other one. That's good news, at least, in an otherwise bleak day 3. I feel pretty bad about Scouty now, but he just seemed really scummy so what can be done. He did say he was vanilla though, so at least the scum can't convert him now.
Rick Posted March 23, 2013 Posted March 23, 2013 I guess li'l Foog was killed because of his odd statements at the end of the day yesterday. Too bad he didn't get a chance to explain his words as he said he would try to do. I'd say it most likely was the work of the vigilante, but maybe the scum killers interpreted his words as an obvious attempt to lure them into contacting him. But if it's the latter, I don't see why they wouldn't just let him live and perhaps let us waste a lynch on him. The reasons for killing li'l Corny are less clear to me. Maybe the scum thought that as a mayor he'd be in the best position to unite the town and they held off on killing him on night one out of fear of being watched. I can't really see this being the work of the vigilante, unless they noticed a change in behaviour from day one, and thought he was converted. But what a crappy night; two kills and I'm guessing our vig is alive because of the other one. It proves the vigilante was alive yesterday, but they could have died last night. So, until tomorrow, the only thing we can be sure of is that it wasn't li'l Trumpet. He did say he was vanilla though, so at least the scum can't convert him now. How many times does it have to be pointed out that he had the same chance of being convertible as any other townie?
Cecilie Posted March 23, 2013 Posted March 23, 2013 Well crap. I hope the masons are getting some good leads behind the scenes, because it seems we're doing shitty on our own here. As Li'l Rick points out, it looks like the vig may have latched onto Li'l Foog's odd behaviour yesterday, I don't see any good reason for the vig to kill our dearly departed mayor at this point, so it seems the most likely theory. Probably the scum felt Li'l Corny was a safe kill after the first night's blunder in killing one of their own.
Peanuts Posted March 23, 2013 Posted March 23, 2013 Well, that's not good at all. I guess those of you who thought the mayor was about to have a short life were right. So, who wants to be his successor? I guess we can agree that the vig took out Li'l Foog, while the scum killed our late mayor . I find it somewhat strange that Li'l Sandy seems convinced that Li'l Danny was offed by the scum. I thought we had agreed that we couldn't be sure, or am I missing something? I find it somewhat strange that Li'l Sandy seems convinced that Li'l Danny was offed by the scum. I thought we had agreed that we couldn't be sure, or am I missing something? I meant Li'l Cecilie, of course...
TheBoyWonder Posted March 23, 2013 Posted March 23, 2013 I'm puzzled. Lil' Socuty was town? Oh god. If 6 people are scum, then we may have problems. It would also mean the scum have been extremely lucky in their targets. If that is the case, the most likely scum ratio is 3:3. 3 in the killers would be bad, but as would 3 in the recruiters. Either way, we may soon have problems.
Cecilie Posted March 23, 2013 Posted March 23, 2013 I find it somewhat strange that Li'l Sandy seems convinced that Li'l Danny was offed by the scum. I thought we had agreed that we couldn't be sure, or am I missing something? I meant Li'l Cecilie, of course... I'm not convinced, but I made that assumption in my theory of why scum chose to kill Li'l Corny last night, assuming that's what happened. I could add in a lot of ifs and maybes if that makes you feel any better. It just seems likely to me. Assuming they killed one of their own on night 1, wouldn't it make sense for them to pick someone they were fairly certain to be town so as not to mess up twice in a row?

Assuming they killed one of their own on night 1, wouldn't it make sense for them to pick someone they were fairly certain to be town so as not to mess up twice in a row? Actually, no, it wouldn't. Whether they killed one of their own or not, it always makes sence to kill someone who they are farily certain is town. And Danny seems like an unlikely scum target to me. But I guess that's yesterday's topic.
Hinckley Posted March 23, 2013 Posted March 23, 2013 I would assume Li'l Cec was right. Unless the vig found some change in Cornelius's behavior, I would assume he or she went after Foog for those messed up statements he made at the end of yesterday. I didn't notice any change in Li'l Corn's behavior, so I assume the Scum saw him as a threat. So, why did Li'l Foog act so weird at the end of yesterday? A few people seemed to think he was trying to connect the Scum teams. Perhaps he was just setting himself up as a good fake decoy to draw them out. If so, he probably thought he had been just Scummy enough to start the plan and not attract the vig, but pushed it too hard. This concept can lead to all sorts of previously un-seen tactics. At the very least, we won't be distracted from dissecting all of his statements and can focus on finding a real threat. Or maybe Foog was a reverse death miller, Peanuts.
Pandora Posted March 23, 2013 Posted March 23, 2013 Well that's a crappy night. To me it seems like the scum killed Li'l Corny and the vig killed Li'l Foog. Li'l Foog, as a couple of people have said, made some very odd statements towards the end of yesterday, and was looking a bit scummy, whereas Li'l Corny was looking relatively townie. Unless the scum and the vig all all massive fans of reverse psychology (which I doubt), then that's what seems to have happened. The worrying thing for me, though, is that the scum killed Li'l Corny (assuming it was them). I understand that he might have been their best choice for a townie, and thus a kill, but wouldn't he have been a better choice for conversion? The mayor, who could potentially be useful to the scum later in the game? Thus I am left to wonder that maybe they tried to convert him, and failed, and decided to kill him instead. And for that to be the case, they would've had to have teamed up already. And that is very worrying.
Piratedave84 Posted March 23, 2013 Posted March 23, 2013 Well, I have to say I am a little suprised Scouty was not scum!!! Killing Foog makes sense if it was a Vig-kill; let's face it, his statements at the end of the day were quite unsual and seemed to imply that he was trying to reach out to the scum.

This is plausible, but IMO unlikely it would imply that the scum planned a contingency should the conversion fail; this is not impossible though but at this stage, spending 2 actions on one player seems like a loss of ressources.

You misunderstand me. I meant that either: i)they had already tried to convert him on night one and failed, then joined up, shared information and decided to kill him (as he was unconvertible), or ii)they didn't bother trying to convert him but joined up anyway and decided to kill him rather than convert him after discussing it between all of them. I am still open to the idea that they just had Li'l Corny as the best bet for killing a townie, rather than risk killing one of their own on the converting team. I'm not saying I think they've joined up, but the fact that they chose Li'l Corny as a kill is open to interpretation, and some of the conclusions are worrisome for us.
Capt. Redblade Posted March 23, 2013 Posted March 23, 2013 Sonofa... Looking back at some of Li'l Foog's statements at the end of yesterday, I can see how it makes sense that the vig would have targeted him. I agree with Li'l Hinck that he could have been acting as a decoy to draw out the Scum, but went too far in that direction. Li'l Corny would have been the best scum kill; he seemed the most likely one to form a town block and it's possible the scum didn't like that. Hopefully our masons are getting better results at night.
CMP Posted March 23, 2013 Posted March 23, 2013 Damn it. I was sure by the end of the day Scouty was scum. And Li'l Foog was my next best suspect, too. At least this proves our vig is still up and about, and has reasonable choice of target, it seems many thought his behavior odd yesterday. (Assuming it was our vig, which is extremely likely.) It's unfortunate that our mayor died as well. It doesn't surprise me he was killed, but like others, I'm kind of surprise he wasn't converted already. Maybe the talk about it on Day One scared them away from the thought?
Walter Kovacs Posted March 23, 2013 Posted March 23, 2013 Gahhh! What a terrible night. Not wanting to put words in the dead mayor's mouth, but his taunts on day one were likely to get a possible Watcher to, well, watch him on Night 1, essentially goading the scum into the kill. Either the Doctor protected him Night 1, or the scum didn't bother until Night 2, when Corny was less likely to be protected and/or watched. Note that I AM assuming Corny's killer was the scum team. It makes sense, as many or you posted above. I have no idea what Li'l Foog was attempting, but it obviously didn't work. It only managed to attract the town Vig, not a good situation. Scouty's flip is only a little surprising. I was prepared for him to flip either way. Regrettable, yes, but it was a Day 2 Lynch, with no PR evidence to support it. Now we need some solid leads to go with. Someone must know something, and be able to figure out a way to reveal it without getting him/her/itself killed in the process. Anyone?
Hinckley Posted March 23, 2013 Posted March 23, 2013 Now we need some solid leads to go with. Someone must know something, and be able to figure out a way to reveal it without getting him/her/itself killed in the process. Anyone? A word of caution: this concept requires great discretion with info. Big Cam meant well in EB I when he revealed his Actions in thread, but that's what verified the Scum teams to each other and lost it for the Town. Lets not forget that even if they outnumber us, they don't win unless they connect.
Palathadric Posted March 23, 2013 Posted March 23, 2013 This is so annoying. Why can't the bad guys just be good and the good guys become a little easier to live with. Vote: Palathadric since clearly I am the only one who knows how to steer clear from bandwagons, which must make me a good leader . That's right your band's wagon is too annoyingly noisy! (I didn't bold my vote on perpose, as it's just for fun). Three people who have been blipping my scumdar though, a bit are Cecilia, Zepher, and CallMePie. Can't really say why though, and looking back I was surprised to see that a lot things I had thought Cecilie had said were, in fact, not her, which again spreads things out frustratingly wide.

Lets not forget that even if they outnumber us, they don't win unless they connect. Nope, I haven't forgotten that. But we need someone to step up. Trying to locate the scum solely through scum-tells in thread are not doing so well (0-2), and voting patterns aren't going to get us anywhere, as both votes were done on very little information, and both were runaway bandwagons. What I meant is ths town needs to discuss more, behind the scenes. We need to somehow pool the knowledge of all the individuals, and I doubt we have the time to wait for the masons to get the complete picture. I think it's time for townies to make assumptions on whom they think are town for certain, and start working with those players. It might fail. Some town might be contacting scum. But at least we'd be trying to get ourselves organized. It's better than waiting for the scum to unite and pick us off one by one, while we lynch our own. On a completely unrelated note, does anyone want to be mayor? I haven't seen anyone step forward and volunteer.
Palathadric Posted March 24, 2013 Posted March 24, 2013 I don't think most people are thinking about a mayor right now. I don't mind being mayor but, as I've said, I really don't think it makes a difference in the end as it's very unlikely that there ever will be a tie vote anyway.

Sorry, but I can't see how Li'l Corny's death correlates with the scum team uniting at all. In fact, all I read there is: "Either they tried to convert him and teamed up or they didn't try to convert him and teamed up or they didn't team up at all". It's not very far-fetched to say that they killed him just because he seemed townie, as that's the logical thing for the scum to do. I think all combinations of conversion and uniting are possible, but there are no real signs that strongly indicate either. Trying to find some signs looks like reading tea leaves to me, you'll always get the result you were expecting to get. By the way, if nobody else wants to, I don't mind becoming the new Mayor. I don't want to see the role given to somebody at random.

I'd prefer a mayor who has the mental capacity to handle BB code. Wait, is that over? Should we not taunt him anymore? If you guys really want to be mayor, you can always vote for yourselves.

It's funny, if you asked me who seemed scummiest, your name would be on that list, along with PirateDave and Nightshroud. PirateDave is the least scummy to me right now.

Yesterday you said you were somewhat suspicious of me, and another person (I forget who) and now you have three new suspects and don't have any reason why you think they deserve scrutiny! You also said, yesterday, that you weren't very suspicious of me and the other person, but you still had to put our names out there to make it look like you're contributing. Honestly, you're wishy washy and scummy as heck imo. I have to go atm, but I will post your quotes that I'm referring to later. Unless, someone wants to do my work for me.

Did you attempt to vote for yourself? There are two problems with your format. That's also not great mental capacity for a mayor. I suppose there might be a couple people I could consider trusting if it came down to a tie vote. It's so hard to figure out what to reveal with this concept though. Pointing out a trustworthy Townie is either a death sentence or an invitation to conversion. This new concept is fun but can certainly be mentally exhausting at times.

Because I'm still town.
