jimmynick Posted August 30, 2013 Posted August 30, 2013 Oh come of it. Donny was not an unusual choice for a kill. If he was Malone it was a blatant meta game kill. That's funny. I think I read a book in which the mayor of a mining town was killed on the first night of a coyote invasion, and a herpetological lawyer called Boris Wheeler suggested it was because of some "meta" reason. Tam, can you imagine the headline? "Deja vu All Over Again!"
TheBoyWonder Posted August 30, 2013 Posted August 30, 2013 Look, Donny is experienced in games of life. It wouldn't be too much of a longshot that it was based on meta. He was hardly the most prominent member yesterday.
Capt. Redblade Posted August 30, 2013 Posted August 30, 2013 So, would you have prefered a policy lynch over the no-lynch that we ended up with or not? Not sure what to think about Donny's death. I don't know if the Ferraris would have the coglioni to kill someone in broad Daylight, and Donny wasn't too active on the first night. He did make a good metagame kill, though, and a good SK kill as well. I guess we'll have to wait for his allegiance and until more kills come in. Quite honestly, even a policy lynch gives us more to go on than a no-lynch, so yeah. Lesser of two evils and all dat. A scum lynch would have been the best case scenario, but dat obviously didn't happen. If I had to make the choice, a lynch is better than no lynch, whether it be policy or not. Let's hope the PRs are havin' better luck.

Cecilie Posted August 30, 2013 Posted August 30, 2013 Yet it is implied in the rules that there is a third party or parties, so will these third parties be likely to be devoted pacifists? True, but isn't it always laid out like that in the rules? I figure it's just to keep us on our toes and looking over our shoulders. But if we don't have a vig, I guess an SK is probable. What I really should have said is it's unlikely (though I'm not writing anything off as impossible at this point) we have 3 killers, or that at least if we have 3 killers some or all of them come with some modifiers making them unable to kill every night. But now I'm just wildly speculating. We'll know more as things progress and we see how many people turn up dead...
Pandora Posted August 30, 2013 Posted August 30, 2013 True, but isn't it always laid out like that in the rules? These rules seem specifically tailored to our current predicament. Careful examination of the rules themselves would reveal that to any interested reader. The potential third parties have been given their own colour scheme and everything. Plus, I find it interesting to note that there is no mention of conversions, where often one might expect some mention of conversions and one's behaviour should one be converted. As a result, I'm inclined to believe that we do indeed have at least one third party member to deal with in addition to the Ferraris, and I doubt that that third party will have a role that does not require them to kill. Whether a third party was responsible for Donny's death remains to be seen.
Bob Posted August 30, 2013 Posted August 30, 2013 We can't count out the theory that Donny was our vigilante and that the scum killer just took him out randomly. It wouldn't be the first time that it's happened in these games...of life. What was Donny doing up on the billboard? The tapes say he said "I can see anything I want from up here, and I blend in." or something to that effect. Could it be that he himself was looking for a target to kill? Who knows? I don't know. I'm not discounting that there's a third party, I'm just saying that we have to look at all the options before we rush to judgement. There's a few reasons as to why there was one kill today. A killer was blocked, the target was protected, or the killer that didn't kill didn't go out. It's all speculation at this point. Also, if Donny was a Ferrari, there's a chance that he was the scum killer or at least a scum power role, but I don't think we'd get so lucky right off the bat.
Pandora Posted August 30, 2013 Posted August 30, 2013 We can't count out the theory that Donny was our vigilante and that the scum killer just took him out randomly. There are lots and lots of things we can't discount, but that would be remarkably lucky for the scum, and there's absolutely nothing to indicate that that's the case, Byr-Byr. What was Donny doing up on the billboard? The tapes say he said "I can see anything I want from up here, and I blend in." or something to that effect. Could it be that he himself was looking for a target to kill? Who knows? I don't know. I thought the blending in bit was because his outfit matched the billboard background.
Captain Nemo Posted August 30, 2013 Posted August 30, 2013 Well that's enough napping for today--staying up all night working makes me sleepy. Anyways, there are more important things to look at besides my makeup treatment. A day kill is strange (Though not in this game of life I suppose), especially on Donny. He wasn't too vocal or outstanding during the night, though I guess most people were not (Including myself). I am content with my no vote last night though; I didn't have any good leads whatsoever, and I suppose most people didn't either--however at just a glance this day seems to be lacking any leads too. But that's last night; and we've got a warm body on the pavement. I'm not sure yet if it's a kill by the cars or by a possible SK; and it's hard to tell when only one person has died (In the sense that different types of killers often kill in different ways, sometimes indicating their "type").
