EBWOP: Hell, the shotgun was available day 1, why wait to choose an item with two powerful options?
One, didn't read rule 6, so thought I'd be able to hold onto it until I felt it necessary. Two, thought "couldn't use items" only applied to the starting ones. Three, I was being an idiot during N1.
Quote from Zionite »
I'm saying, can't the vial still be repaired and given to someone to use? That would be useful. Much more useful than shotguns...you people are always so quick to kill.
Were that possible, I'd repair something every day and pass it every night, which would be very vicious.
If they're so "less-than-compelling", why have you thus far failed to respond to even one of them? Seems you could easily defend yourself if my attacks are so shoddy, but you choose not to. How long do you think the "I'm confirmed so I don't have to do anything" mantra will hold out for you?
I'm not giving you what you want simply on principle. You should be able to get your head out of your ass on your own without me doing it for you. I don't need to answer your arguments because I'm clearly not scum, and everyone else sees that except you. I really hope you're pulling this stunt to get us both in a final 3 and turn around your opinion or some pro-town stunt like that.
I've always lived by that mantra. I'm so confirmed I can coast through the game; lurk if I want to.:rolleyes:
That's bull☺☺☺☺ and you know it. Read day 1 again. I was pressured to do something to prove I'm town(yet again, as in every game I ever play). So I serum'd you when you were pressing me even then. This confirmed me. YOU did that bud. So don't get all huffy and puffy at me over that. Just because you want me dead, or maybe need me dead?:cool2:

Oh, and can you keep passing around that virus? It doesn't duplicate does it? It seems a useful tool right now, even without the ability to prove or disprove anything on it's own.
Also zinda, would you be comfortable with me simply keeping the virus and pretending you don't think I'm scum? This way you'll be 100% sure I'm of no danger so we can actually get some work done as confirmed players are supposed to.
Things you won't be doing: Keeping the virus. Pass the hot potato around. Not only does passing the item take up your night action, but once my AWC is reached I'm outta here (also known as confirmed).
The new post on the blog has one hidden name beginning with "D". Oddly enough that corresponds with Guardman's claimed name. That in and of itself isn't enough to sway me to throw away another investigation result at this point while we still have other claimed Americans on the list.
Cyouni's tone during the overnight argument with Shibui struck me as a little too strident for a townie ahead of the game. (I'm the one who placed the anonymous vote, btw). Also, fixing the gun when the truth serum was available still strikes me wrong: Either will confirm a guy, but one nets a body, and the mafia have been behind from the get-go.
Zionite has been quick to point out that he confirmed a guy, but I'm giving him the benefit of the doubt for now. He seemed sincerely suspicious of Zindabad to me at the time, and he's often a bit abrasive regardless of his alignment. Plus, it's just as likely the mafiate chose no kill last night in part to set Zionite up (knowing he was receiving the virus). On a self-serving note, he's holding the virus, so if he's lynched it's probably going to slow down eliminating myself from anyone's suspect list if this game continues that long.
I'd like to see AI move his vote to Zindabad (to cover our bets and give us an idea of how reliable the Guardman investigation is, if necessary).
Vote: Cyouni
PPE: Hold the phone. Zionite, did you just suggest Zindabad might be scum?
That's bull☺☺☺☺ and you know it. Read day 1 again. I was pressured to do something to prove I'm town(yet again, as in every game I ever play). So I serum'd you when you were pressing me even then. This confirmed me. YOU did that bud. So don't get all huffy and puffy at me over that. Just because you want me dead, or maybe need me dead?
Maybe not scum. But some sort of motive for wanting me dead. Maybe he needed my name? I have no idea. But people who are confirmed don't just randomly attack the person who confirmed them. It doesn't follow at all. Something is up, and with all these alternate-win-cons and additional-win-cons and con-win-cons flying around I wouldn't be the least bit surprised if Zindabad had something of that nature. Probably a lyncher role where he needs me to be lynched to win. The fact that I confirmed him certainly threw a wrench in his plans, but that didn't stop him...
That's obviously stretching, but not hard to imagine. Zindabad has no reason to be attacking me when I have been so thoroughly examined and picked clean.
Also, I don't have to hold on to the virus. I couldn't care less. I'll pass it off to someone random then unless you want to vote on targets.

Here's my current problem: You've claimed the serum was like super-effective. Meaning you would get an honest answer from the mods regardless of passive abilities of your target. This has been confirmed by another player. Correct me if I'm in error in that.
Assuming I am not incorrect, how could Zindabad be anything other than Pro-WTO?
Just like you can be anything other than Pro-WTO. You had a mission to spread a certain virus, did you not? But you are just as Pro-WTO as me right? So why can't Zindabad have a similar role that involves me getting lynched since day 1?

That would be a bit much for this game, and he would still be Pro-WTO.
Okay, you're not taking the tack that he's something to be lynched. That was my concern. Eyes on the prize.
In the event Cyouni comes up town, I'd like to see the Scoria Virus go to Guardman.

I'll upgrade when AI moves his vote someplace useful. I think Calvin had something to say before we finished today, as well.
I'll take your Virus vote into consideration, but it's not a guarantee. I don't particularly subscribe to the Guardman idea. If others do though please say so. I want this to go to the person most people want it to go to.
No, zindabad can't be lynched sadly. But whatever his motive is for triple voting me is not going to be fulfilled.
Cyouni's tone during the overnight argument with Shibui struck me as a little too strident for a townie ahead of the game. (I'm the one who placed the anonymous vote, btw).
I'm always that way when I feel people are being idiots. You're welcome to check.
Also, fixing the gun when the truth serum was available still strikes me wrong: Either will confirm a guy, but one nets a body, and the mafia have been behind from the get-go.
Does anyone around here remember that thing I said about Slandering and killing Cyan?
Because right now I am not with the town, I am psuedo town. If we lynch Zionite and he is town, tonight I will indoctrinate Cyouni and then we can lynch him.
I won't do anything and can't do anything as long as nobody sends me the virus.
The elderly man is indignant as you circle him, drawn by zindabad's angry barbs. "You think I would threaten this organization? I love my country, and this organization is important for it. I would do anything to help my people."
"Wonderful," Pale Mage responds with a grimace as he paints the wall with two bullets.
Arvanis steps inside, grimaces, and glances over at zindabad. "Clean up your mess before you guys leave, or the conference center people will be really angry," he says sardonically. He then steps back out, leaving the dwindling mob and the growing pile of bodies.

Other than being extremely pissed about it, and wanting you to come up with better reasoning, no.
I've given away all but one of my items which'll probably see actual use, and I'm starting to lose focus.
So if I'm lynched, the person casting the lynch-vote better take the Amphetamines and activate it, or I will be extremely annoyed on the blog.
I want that damn thing to see some actual use.
Enables night posting, remember.

And for the record, the D. person from the blog has a possible chance of being David, Alpha (Avery)'s son (four spaces left in the name, and would fit with how he's described), and is the Armani Suit guy. Might be a replacement role, given the flavour of the scenes. Especially given the death scene of joboman.
Calvin sits against a wall, with a crooked smile on his face, like he'd heard a terribly funny joke that couldn't leave no matter how much the proprietors of Calvin's mind would wish he's piss off. His eyes are locked on a bullet hole in the wall, through which a small bead of light breaks the darkness of the room, lighting on Calvin's red third eye, which beams with its two glassy compatriots.
Off to the side, Arvanis is crouched, staring at Calvin. The building is deathly quiet... the construction crews outside have abated, along with the crowds and any other sounds of Los Angeles, all washed away... the only sound in the room comes from Xavier's light footsteps behind him. "Have you seen my gu-" he asks, before spotting the body on the ground, enjoying its private humor. "Oh."
"No, I haven't."
"Seems like he knows something we don't," Xavier says grimly. Arvanis shifts slightly, suggesting a nod. Without another word, Xavier wanders off to rouse the rest of the sleepless forms, leaving Arvanis alone in the dark.

I can't tell you how annoying that continues to be. I've already said I can sometimes use my phone's internet to read it, but the browser won't let me type.
Cyouni is pro-WTO, and I am no longer in Guardman's 'group.'
I'm open to suggestions for this vote, but for now I'll Vote: Penguin of Death.

Lies! -I'm Buffy Summers, town tracker. I used my ability on you and saw that you didn't use any abilities before the game started. My flavor is I was sucked through a mysterious space-time portal and I'm here to kill all the vampires, and my tracking ability is a combination of my Slayer and Native American skills.
I still think we have a godfather. I still trust mmod's info. And even though I did indoctrinate Cyouni, I am thinking that he is most likely scum, since it is down to him, me, and Alpha, for who killed mmod.
AlphaInsidious - Claimed investigation role; says Guardman and Cyouni are town. Claimed Italian after MMoD's reveal.
Cyouni - Investigated as town. One of the few remaining Americans.
Guardman - Investigated as town. American.
Niv - Doesn't have any other abilities.
Pale Mage - Neutral that wins with WTO after dropping the virus off a few times.
Penguin of Death - Claimed doc, currently being investigated, roleblocked a night a NK took place.
Syrenz - Don't remember his abilities, I think he only has passive ones.
zindabad - Truth syrum says he's town, and I buy it.
**I don't know why the red text is like that, I just copy pasted the player list in Xyre's last post and it won't go away.
I would like to know what everyone did last night, and I'm completely shocked Cyouni investigated as town.

You need to clarify this. I can't sort anything else out other than you asking AI to explain his vote that nets him an investigation.
I don't know if anyone plans to listen to anything I say anymore, but I remind you that I have made the argument multiple times that the continuing survival of AI indicates either that he is scum (unlikely for reasons I discussed) or the scum do not fear him, in other words, the remaining scum is a godfather.

PoD was roleblocked by DM the night MMoD was killed IIRC. If she's scum, she had/has a special kill or has a buddy.

I'd like to hear about PM's action last night.
I shipped the Virus to Niv. Still having a hard time with the idea of a scum Guardman. Cyouni was being investigated, and I'd rather not block AI.
sorry, didn't realise that his vote allows him to investigate me.
Yesterday, Cyouni said that he passed the shot of adrenaline to someone, and that he would only reveal who if that person wanted to. That person was me. I used the adrenaline last night on myself, allowing me two extra night actions.
Why not the Watcher, though?
@Cyouni - Why did you give a valuable item to the doctor?
The first I used to protect AI, as I thought that a investigating role could be a likely NK target. The second I used to get my final point to acquire my second Emergency supplies (which is the item that supplies me with a doc protect).
@Cyouni - Why did you give a valuable item to the doctor?
Two reasons. One - the drawback (cannot be protected against NKs) would probably not affect her. Two - I thought an additional NK-protection would be useful.
Giving it to the Watcher wouldn't have been of any use if he were to die before he coul Oh. I see what you mean. Blog.
PM, you never answered me. What did Xyre tell you about the virus's ability to block night kills, if anything? Also, you should be getting ready to vanish if I've counted correctly. After Niv passes off the virus, that should be game over for you, yes?
Syrenz, your unlynchable ability is multi-shot, right? How many times? Mind if we test it again today just to be sure?
shibui, is it possible to summarize for us anything that's been happening on the PDA board?
Niv, could you tell us anything else about your flavor? You're sure you're El Salvadorian and not American? Because Mara Salvatrucha originated in L.A.
Cyouni, could you explain to me what the big deal about posting during night is? I really don't see much value in a game that has the blog available.
AI, do you think there is a godfather?
Guardman, could you describe your flavor a little more thoroughly, and also do you have any idea why you have a Belgian/Dutch name but you're an American?
Guardman, could you describe your flavor a little more thoroughly, and also do you have any idea why you have a Belgian/Dutch name but you're an American?
I am not sure what I can say about my flavor more than I have. What exactly are you looking for.
And no I don't know why I have a Dutch name, but am America. My only thought is that I am American, and America is a melting pot.
Cyouni, could you explain to me what the big deal about posting during night is? I really don't see much value in a game that has the blog available.
Firstly, not sure how many people still read the blog. Certainly all the people still in the game don't post on it, whereas there's a higher chance of continuing discussion in this thread.
Secondly, also blocks off any anonymous posting. Everything someone says is linked to them. And since the dead people aren't posting, that's not a drawback.
Third, quotes and other formatting. Also no max character limit.
@shibui: I did. I tried to activate the Amphetamines.
I have somewhat conflicting feelings on it. On the one hand, I'm running out of people who I think could be the last scum, and that makes me question some of my results re: godfather ability.
BUT, a quick sweep just now of previous Xyre games reveal basically no precedent for that ability in the mafia. Actually, as in this game, there was some form of investigation immunity/misleading for the SK/neutrals instead.
I'm starting to think I've just been incredibly unlucky in my choices, or someone is playing us all very well.

If someone posts something discussion-worthy while using the Amphetamines, the only place for everyone else to discuss it is on the blog, so it may as well have been posted there in the first place.

Nobody's going to take any anonymous post seriously anyway, and #3 is irrelevant. I don't think this is a major point, I just couldn't get my head around why you were treating the Amphetamines like it was power.
Further question:
You appear to be the #1 lynch target today based on PoE. So far you have only reported on your item activities. Who do you think is scum and why?

Frankly, I'm not sure. Thinking on it...
AI, can you describe the flavour of your investigations? Also, wouldn't mind your investigation on Niv. Just in case.

By the way, did we ever figure out who "Jack Thompson" was from end of Day 1?
Niv, could you tell us anything else about your flavor? You're sure you're El Salvadorian and not American? Because Mara Salvatrucha originated in L.A.
My PM clearly states my country is El Salvador.
in other news, I don't know how I could be more disinterested right now. this game has dissolved into AI sends in target, we lynch someone, AI picks new target.
ATM, I really feel the whole Guardman Absorbs AI and we go from there, As I'm having a hard time believing that AI is this unlucky, ans this Not Dead yet.
Would have been nice had Zinda not pulled out Shades of Tilde from nowhere. NOTE: confirmed town should never have massive multi votes, Ever, in fact, no one should have massive multi votes, ever.

AI is no longer indoctrinated. My glorious overlords will not take his soul if lynched today and I will not gain his ability. If we want to go with my plan, I suggest we lynch Cyouni today, I indoctrinate him tonight and we can lynch him tomorrow.
Were that possible, I'd repair something every day and pass it every night, which would be very vicious.
The ability was One-Shot.
I'm not giving you what you want simply on principle. You should be able to get your head out of your ass on your own without me doing it for you. I don't need to answer your arguments because I'm clearly not scum, and everyone else sees that except you. I really hope you're pulling this stunt to get us both in a final 3 and turn around your opinion or some pro-town stunt like that.

This confirmed me. YOU did that bud. So don't get all huffy and puffy at me over that. Just because you want me dead, or maybe need me dead?:cool2:
Thanks for clearing that up, I didn't realize repairing was one shot.
I love you zindabad. I just wanted to tell you that. We're buddies right?
Let's get a lynch going. I'm severely bored.
Nonsense.
The main thing keeping my vote off of you is AI's investigation.
Things you won't be doing: Keeping the virus. Pass the hot potato around. Not only does passing the item take up your night action, but once my AWC is reached I'm outta here (also known as confirmed).
The new post on the blog has one hidden name beginning with "D". Oddly enough that corresponds with Guardman's claimed name. That in and of itself isn't enough to sway me to throw away another investigation result at this point while we still have other claimed Americans on the list.
Cyouni's tone during the overnight argument with Shibui struck me as a little too strident for a townie ahead of the game. (I'm the one who placed the anonymous vote, btw).

^^^ That bolded bit...serious?
That's obviously stretching, but not hard to imagine. Zindabad has no reason to be attacking me when I have been so thoroughly examined and picked clean.
Also, I don't have to hold on to the virus. I couldn't care less. I'll pass it off to someone random then unless you want to vote on targets.

How?
Also, it's your fault for choosing the worst possible target overnight.
If I told you how I would sabotage the town then you could stop it. I will keep how I can do that to myself right now.
Remember that Cyan isn't the only soul I've taken.
Be careful what you wish for.
Fixed.
"...a talisman against all evil, so long as you obey me."
You're planning on using scum abilities for your own gain, and you want us to help?
Though if we lynch AI today I will have my third soul and will become a good townie. Plus we will have an unkillable cop, sort of.
(6 to lynch)
Zionite - 6 (zindabad, zindabad, zindabad, zindabad, zindabad, Pale Mage)

Totally not making this easy for me.
Any problem being the lynch today?
Bring it. My kung fu is better than yours. And this isn't the first time you've seperated yourself from the town in your phrasing.
Oh, he was serious.
Well, then. Don't keep us in suspense.

I won't do anything and can't do anything as long as nobody sends me the virus.
"Wonderful," Pale Mage responds with a grimace as he paints the wall with two bullets.
Arvanis steps inside, grimaces, and glances over at zindabad. "Clean up your mess before you guys leave, or the conference center people will be really angry," he says sardonically. He then steps back out, leaving the dwindling mob and the growing pile of bodies.

Other than being extremely pissed about it, and wanting you to come up with better reasoning, no.
I've given away all but one of my items which'll probably see actual use, and I'm starting to lose focus.
So if I'm lynched, the person casting the lynch-vote better take the Amphetamines and activate it, or I will be extremely annoyed on the blog.
I want that damn thing to see some actual use.
Enables night posting, remember.

And for the record, the D. person from the blog has a possible chance of being David, Alpha (Avery)'s son (four spaces left in the name, and would fit with how he's described), and is the Armani Suit guy. Might be a replacement role, given the flavour of the scenes. Especially given the death scene of joboman.
Good luck town.
Off to the side, Arvanis is crouched, staring at Calvin. The building is deathly quiet... the construction crews outside have abated, along with the crowds and any other sounds of Los Angeles, all washed away... the only sound in the room comes from Xavier's light footsteps behind him. "Have you seen my gu-" he asks, before spotting the body on the ground, enjoying its private humor. "Oh."
"No, I haven't."
"Seems like he knows something we don't," Xavier says grimly. Arvanis shifts slightly, suggesting a nod. Without another word, Xavier wanders off to rouse the rest of the sleepless forms, leaving Arvanis alone in the dark.

Nine alive means five to lynch. Deadline is 20 May.

What does the Adrenaline do again? I would investigate it but it was picked up.
Cyouni is pro-WTO, and I am no longer in Guardman's 'group.'
I'm open to suggestions for this vote, but for now I'll Vote: Penguin of Death.
Vote Cyouni
AlphaInsidious - Claimed investigation role; says Guardman and Cyouni are town. Claimed Italian after MMoD's reveal.
Cyouni - Investigated as town. One of the few remaining Americans.
Guardman - Investigated as town. American.
Niv - Doesn't have any other abilities.
Pale Mage - Neutral that wins with WTO after dropping the virus off a few times.
Penguin of Death - Claimed doc, currently being investigated, roleblocked a night a NK took place.
Syrenz - Don't remember his abilities, I think he only has passive ones.
zindabad - Truth syrum says he's town, and I buy it.
**I don't know why the red text is like that, I just copy pasted the player list in Xyre's last post and it won't go away.
I would like to know what everyone did last night, and I'm completely shocked Cyouni investigated as town.
You need to clarify this. I can't sort anything else out other than you asking AI to explain his vote that nets him an investigation.
I don't know if anyone plans to listen to anything I say anymore, but I remind you that I have made the argument multiple times that the continuing survival of AI indicates either that he is scum (unlikely for reasons I discussed) or the scum do not fear him, in other words, the remaining scum is a godfather.
I'd like to hear about PM's action last night.
"...a talisman against all evil, so long as you obey me."
"...a talisman against all evil, so long as you obey me."
Passed Amphetamines last night. Again, will not say to who. Night-talk is good.
To the person I passed it to, please make sure to activate it.
PoD was roleblocked by DM the night MMoD was killed IIRC. If she's scum, she had/has a special kill or has a buddy.
I win with the WTO or by the Virus. Alternate, not additional.
I shipped the Virus to Niv. Still having a hard time with the idea of a scum Guardman. Cyouni was being investigated, and I'd rather not block AI.
Why not the Watcher, though?
@Cyouni - Why did you give a valuable item to the doctor?
Were you out of protections or something?
Two reasons. One - the drawback (cannot be protected against NKs) would probably not affect her. Two - I thought an additional NK-protection would be useful.
Giving it to the Watcher wouldn't have been of any use if he were to die before he coulOh. I see what you mean. Blog.Syrenz, your unlynchable ability is multi-shot, right? How many times? Mind if we test it again today just to be sure?
shibui, is it possible to summarize for us anything that's been happening on the PDA board?
Niv, could you tell us anything else about your flavor? You're sure you're El Salvadorian and not American? Because Mara Salvatrucha originated in L.A.
Cyouni, could you explain to me what the big deal about posting during night is? I really don't see much value in a game that has the blog available.
AI, do you think there is a godfather?
Guardman, could you describe your flavor a little more thoroughly, and also do you have any idea why you have a Belgian/Dutch name but you're an American?
"...a talisman against all evil, so long as you obey me."
I am not sure what I can say about my flavor more than I have. What exactly are you looking for.
And no I don't know why I have a Dutch name, but am America. My only thought is that I am American, and America is a melting pot.
@Cyouni: Why did you never try to use an item until picking up the shotgun?
@PM: I meant to put or in there.
@PoD: Why is tehre never Emergency supplies discarded?
Secondly, also blocks off any anonymous posting. Everything someone says is linked to them. And since the dead people aren't posting, that's not a drawback.
Third, quotes and other formatting. Also no max character limit.
@shibui: I did. I tried to activate the Amphetamines.
I have somewhat conflicting feelings on it. On the one hand, I'm running out of people who I think could be the last scum, and that makes me question some of my results re: godfather ability.
BUT, a quick sweep just now of previous Xyre games reveal basically no precedent for that ability in the mafia. Actually, as in this game, there was some form of investigation immunity/misleading for the SK/neutrals instead.
I'm starting to think I've just been incredibly unlucky in my choices, or someone is playing us all very well.
As many times as I want and I can use it today to confirm that.
Lair of the Cat (Mafia Stats)
If someone posts something discussion-worthy while using the Amphetamines, the only place for everyone else to discuss it is on the blog, so it may as well have been posted there in the first place.
Nobody's going to take any anonymous post seriously anyway, and #3 is irrelevant. I don't think this is a major point, I just couldn't get my head around why you were treating the Amphetamines like it was power.
Further question:
You appear to be the #1 lynch target today based on PoE. So far you have only reported on your item activities. Who do you think is scum and why?
"...a talisman against all evil, so long as you obey me."
Frankly, I'm not sure. Thinking on it...
AI, can you describe the flavour of your investigations? Also, wouldn't mind your investigation on Niv. Just in case.

By the way, did we ever figure out who "Jack Thompson" was from end of Day 1?
My PM clearly states my country is El Salvador.
in other news, I don't know how I could be more disinterested right now. this game has dissolved into AI sends in target, we lynch someone, AI picks new target.
ATM, I really feel the whole Guardman Absorbs AI and we go from there, As I'm having a hard time believing that AI is this unlucky, ans this Not Dead yet.
Would have been nice had Zinda not pulled out Shades of Tilde from nowhere. NOTE: confirmed town should never have massive multi votes, Ever, in fact, no one should have massive multi votes, ever.
Millionaires, I hear it's good Music (Disclaimer: lyrics not PG-13) Thanks, CC
AI is no longer indoctrinated. My glorious overlords will not take his soul if lynched today and I will not gain his ability. If we want to go with my plan, I suggest we lynch Cyouni today, I indoctrinate him tonight and we can lynch him tomorrow.
~Dog in the Hat
oh yah, Massive multi-votes that shouldn't exist......
Seriously.
BTW:
Since the scum know what Jobie's abilities were, mind telling the rest of us what abilities you got off of him?
