Meh.

I think I'll put myself forward for this augmentation thing. Why not?

Banshee wrote:shit... what does this mean? so quicksilver wasn't targeted by magneto afterall? rip QS

Must do. But I guess if he hadn't thought of targeting one of his doomed teammates on an even night before, he probably has now. So that'll be fun.

I am glad we tried to move votes, and am sorry we did not move more.
Exactly my reaction! This sucks!! At least now those unwilling to move will be a bit more telling, I would think this means one of the candidates for switching has a good chance of being an actual baddie.

Ugh, this result sucks. I will stick with Sunfire and Phoenix as potential baddies, but I think it could also be interesting to look at those who kept their votes on Quicksilver, especially if they were around and had a chance to change when everything went crazy.

The maths should be fine, assuming we're right. And assuming there's no other manipulation. Which would probably be a bad assumption given we've been told to expect heavy manipulation. We'll see.

Well I placed my vote on Sunfire because I thought I read some others who were willing to but if you want to place your vote on Phoenix I will switch to that too because I both find them to have pinged me. Two different types, Sunfire who feels like he made a contradiction and unexplained vote and then Phoenix who feels like she has a guilty conscience and is defending herself before even being accused

I had felt suspicious of Phoenix, just a gut thing, but didn't feel I could justify it. You do have a point though. I think I'll keep my vote on Sunfire for now actually, if we all keep changing them every minute leading up to the lynch it's gonna get crazy.

Linki - as in the day following the night they are targeted I'd assume Cable.

If you cannot talk to me without disdain I might listen you act like I don't know what I am talking about.

The master of magnetism, Magneto targets one person at Night. On odd Nights, that person will receive the votes of two other selected targets the following Day. On even Nights, that person’s received votes may be halved and distributed evenly to two other selected targets.
Show me where it says its not the same person they target night 1.

They target 3 players night 1
(1 to get the votes 2 more to give votes to #1.)
They give their target 2 extra votes the following day
Then the same targets votes are halved the next day between 2 other people..

It says NOTHING about 2 different targets on odd/even nights.

I am staying with my vote and suspicion.

Because now you have to guess who the other two targets were that were picked.

Well what about when either the primary target dies from all the votes he got, or one of the secondary targets dies from their votes? That would be Magneto's aim, to control lynches and kill whoever he likes while protecting his team. I see where you're coming from but in my opinion it doesn't make sense for the power to work like that.

Changed my vote to Sunfire. His day 2 vote was really strange, acknowledging that people had reasons to be suspicious of QS but then voting for Hawkeye because he'd voted QS. Felt like he was trying to make a half-hearted defense that wouldn't lead to him looking like he'd tried to save QS by voting TBird. I dunno, it's not a strong ping but I'd rather be safe than sorry if Magneto is messing about with votes. I had a question about that actually: @Epig: What are the rules re: double targeting for Magneto? If he makes someone his primary target one night, can they be a secondary target the following night?

Cable wrote:I think you need to re-read the role.

I would be down for a spiral vote

Or perhaps you might:

The master of magnetism, Magneto targets one person at Night. On odd Nights, that person will receive the votes of two other selected targets the following Day. On even Nights, that person’s received votes may be halved and distributed evenly to two other selected targets.

Seems like his ability changes depending on the night. It never says his target has to stay the same both nights, that wouldn't make sense based on the secondary targets.

Cable wrote:Hi!

I am feeling soooo refreshed!

All this Magneto talk - we have to assume the baddies picked QS night 1 but that would have been before Scarlet started all the stuff about Quicksilver.So he had little to no suspicion onhim at the time.

I still think QS is bad. I think the case was made very nicely.Alot of QS"s answers were very wifom and a bit of appealing to emotion.

I believe I am allowed to vote so I am. Vote QS

No, they would have picked him on night 2. On odd nights Magneto's power works differently. I think I will change my vote just in case, though I'm not 100% sure who to change it to yet.

Linki - possibly Sunfire, thanks for reminding me of that one, Exodus!

Havok wrote: Glad to have your thoughts! I'm responding generally to all 3 of your posts, but I'm only quoting this one so as not to clog up the thread with a super long post. I quoted this particular post because I wanted to ask you about your last point there. Why exactly do you suspect that every player got a same gendered avatar?

You make some great points about the Quicksilver lynch. I hadn't thought about it in that way. You are right that it doesn't make sense for the baddies to save Quicksilver just so that he could be lynched the following day unless they thought that T-Bird wouldn't have otherwise been lynched next if QS had gone first. Baddies voting to save Quicksilver (if QS is civvie) would be a very risky move..I would say just as risky as voting to save a team mate Quicksilver. I can agree here that baddies voting to lynch T-Bird over QS only really adds up if QS is their team mate.

Also, I agree with the suspicion of Spiral. It had actually slipped my mind a bit with all the attention on Quicksilver, but Spiral's post responding to Hawkeye saying, "Why the hell are you discussing the secrets of a civilian role?" when Hawkeye was not doing anything that would put Storm in any danger came off as instigating and not from a civvie point of view. I think it's also telling that Spiral has not responded to Hawkeye's recent post.
Thanks for reading, Havok. Irealize I posted a bunch of stuff all at once, there. My suspicion that we're all the genders of our avatars is mostly just a hunch. The genders match for all the players who I feel confident I can identify. I believe a lot of the female-avatar players were saying earlier that they were actually females as well, though I'd have to look this up. I doubt it's material to the discussion anymore, just wanted to say it while it was on my mind.

The one thing that doesn't add up to me about QS being bad is this: If his teammates all voted Tbird to save him, why would his BTSC-invented (as many suspect, anyway) story make Tbird's voters look bad? It seems to me like he'd be throwing teammates under the bus, and right after they risked themselves to save him, too.

That's my only problem with this lynch right now. I'd think if QS and Tbird's voters were on a team, he'd be saying he thought they were mistaken civs. Maybe it's distancing, I don't know. Anyone have thoughts on how to make this fit?

Not everyone is the gender of their avatar. Just gonna throw that out there...

The QS thing I think could just be a case of distancing, as you say. If he were to come out and say everyone who voted TBird was a civ, and then get revealed bad, it's gonna tell us he had teammates among the TBird voters. He's trying to protect them IMO.

Quicksilver wrote:What they did (The BrotherHood) and what I said is exactly what happened. In a game with 7, I needed to stay alive and they seized the opportunity to buy them another day and kill. Unfortunately for those 7, they didn't get to kill last night though. I honestly don't think all the people gunning to get me out ARE part of the Brotherhood today, but obviously they want to chime in and put a nail in my coffin. But, what are they going to do when I'm gone? They have no one knew to target and can hide for only so long. Why would I risk this early in the game being so ballsy and talking as much as I did? Some people are being very smart and realizing what I have been saying can be true, and it is.
Call me "phony" and whatever else you want, but these Alpha male players like Avalanche and Sunfire need to open their eyes. I appreciate Havok and Sebastian for at least considering when I post and not treating me like how some people have when I try to reason. But you can only defend so long until the people gunning for me realize they were wrong if I die. I hope Beast is on my side and does a Rez, I would really appreciate it so you guys don't lose a valuable player if I die tomorrow.

Don't the Brotherhood only kill on odd nights though? Looking at their roles I'm not seeing an even night killer. I don't see what you're suggesting having happened, I think it's far too complex of a plan for baddies to bother with. I've never seen it before tbh and I think the far more likely thing is that, on day 2, a couple of baddies latched on to a fairly weak case in order to try and protect a teammate. In all fairness, even if you're lynched and turn out to be a civ, I might still look to T-Bird voters because I really don't see how he ended up lynched.

I don't think Dazzler is half of what she is cracked up to be and find my vote possibly going in her direction today or Vision or Spiral. All 3 have been acting shady and pressing for me hard this whole game IMO. Those are 3 to be weary of.

What am I cracked up to be? Today is the first day I've really been active and not long ago I had a couple of people calling me bad for voting you last time. I don't think I'm cracked up to be much really. Also, as for 'this whole game', I'm pretty sure I'd never mentioned you up until day 2. For the NO U defense, as well as thinking you were saved by teammates yesterday, I'm gonna *Vote Quicksilver*.

It seems to be purely that he was quiet and voted White Queen without explaining why.

Linki - That.
I voted for him because he voted early, a drive by vote - no reasons given, for someone who was silenced. It was obvious to everyone that White Queen was silenced and even if you voted for her early in the lynch day you should have changed your vote once that became obvious. TB did not say he was randomizing when he voted and frankly, I would have never guessed that since it was day 2. I asked him to respond as to why he voted for White Queen at 10:00 am and did not have a response by the time I voted at 5:27 pm. Instead, he waited until 6:30 - when the lynch ended at 6:32 - to come on and say he randomized. If I had been at my computer at that time I might have tried to change my vote after he said that but even if I had been here I don't know who I would have changed it to. I felt like my vote was a solid vote and didn't know it was a randomization until the lynch was closed.

Fair enough. You gave him a decent amount of time to reply to your question and he didn't. I guess I just never saw the case being any good. I mean what baddie comes on and votes like that, with no explanation and for someone he might have known was silenced? I really don't see why T-Bird ended up lynched based on that alone which really makes me think there were baddies among his voters trying to save a teammate.

Sunfire wrote: Quicksilver's response here doesn't sell right to me. And seeing some of the responses to it makes me quite uneasy about Havok and Sebastion. Also, why go after voters when we are unsure which of them are bad. Why not go straight for Quicksilver? *votes quicksilver*

Don't you have anything to say about the two posts directly before yours, in which Hawkeye and I discuss how your day two vote seems strange?

That vote for me aside, it appears it could have been any of the QS voters, the argument here seems pretty far-fetched.

Yeah. There's no 'I think Quicksilver voters are probably bad and here's why Hawkeye is most likely...'. It's pretty much a throwaway vote really, he admits there's reason to wonder about QS and then says baddies are using 'the situation' to their advantage but doesn't elaborate and then throws out what is essentially a random vote with no specific reason. I remember finding it a bit odd at the time that several people seemed to be slinging mud at Quicksilver voters without going into any great detail, as if they were trying to put people off voting for him or something.

If the assumption is "Quicksilver was saved by teammates" (which it is as far as I'm concerned) why would we lynch a T-Bird voter and take a chance when we can just vote Quicksilver?

Good point. Can't hurt to look at the over T voters though. They can't all be bad, so it'd help us to know which ones people think are most likely to be.

I can also see where Quicksilver is coming from, but doesn't his explanation strike you as something prefabricated and rehearsed at the last minute? Honestly, last time I ended up voting for him after reading his defense.

6
Exodus (6), Longshot (12), Quicksilver (13), Bastion (15), Phoenix (17), Scarlet Witch (18)

Well it's pretty blatantly obvious I haven't been around much, and the reason for that is that the past couple of days I've been really busy so haven't had time to be fully engaged with mafia. If I'm reading through late in the day and find something suspicious but others have already pursued as far as it'll probably go then there's not really much point in me saying much else is there? I felt like everything I wanted to ask Quicksilver had already been asked and his answers didn't change my thinking. I did read his posts and check facts. It's not like I just saw that one post and threw down my vote.

Bastion wrote:I really don't understand all these votes on quicksilver.

I voted him because he seems to place more priority on lynching indies than baddies. Of the indies, one we can't kill at all, one may not even be a threat, and a third may be civ-aligned for all we know (though if I were Omega Red I wouldn't put all my eggs in one alliance's basket). Just doesn't seem like a pro-civ way of acting to me. I don't have anything better to go on with anybody else so it was him or something even weaker.

Half an hour left and not even half the players have voted. I mean I know I haven't posted an awful lot but come on guys!

I'm also voting Quicksilver, based on the stuff in my last post. Something about his posts just feels off to me and I don't feel he's someone I can trust.

Linky - k but why do you HAVE to lynch and Indy TODAY?
I don't HAVE to do anything, I was trying to explain how dangerous they were. I like to read through roles to keep in mind different abilities. I want all 10 gone, any of them will do today. But, I was saying we need to pay attention to try to get the Indy out also. You are reading way too into it Scarlet. I'm Civ and trying to help, take a chill pill.

You seem overly concerned with the dangerousness of indies. More so than that of the baddies IMO. This doesn't make sense to me. With all the baddies still in play, of course we need to be concerned with our other enemies but our main priority should be reducing the baddie population then moving on to the indies. Thing is, I haven't read the indy win conditions in a while but if they can win with civs then why should we want them dead? That's only gonna make them want us dead in self defense. If an indy can win with the civs I welcome their help. The fact you've been asking people to infodump is also a concern to me...

It's seriously non-stop work for me right now. After tomorrow afternoon I should be a bit more free though.

Okay, I didn't realize it was in response to that. As for your points, I am not sure a baddie would risk that behavior (I feel it's suicidal), but I have seen it done before. Time will tell.

The bolded is exactly why I think a baddie probably would risk that behaviour. Nobody would expect it. However I still think Avalanche was just having a bit of fun on day 0, and there's not necessarily anything wrong with that is there?

How can you say that that question isn't civvie friendly? It sounds like you are saying that it could have only been a tie for civvie reasons? You should look over the role list. Wolverine is not the only role with vote manipulation.

I have to be honest, I also thought it was an odd question to ask. For a start, why would Epig even answer? It reads as if you might have been expecting a different result in my view and I'm not sure why you would've been.

I voted The Humanitarian Mutant because... well I kinda just felt like it! Think I need to catch up properly as well because I'm kinda surprised Deathlok got lynched, I hadn't seen anything especially wrong with anything he said. I sort of thought it might be Avalanche that went, though I don't think he's bad either.

I'm due to go out in a bit and I'm not sure if I'll get back before the deadline. Gonna throw my vote down on Domino for now - she showed up, voted for Asteroid M (Magneto's base!), then disappeared and hasn't been seen since. If I get a chance to change my vote later and have a reason to then I'll see but as of now that's what I'm doing.

Busy couple of days, need to catch up properly as I've only really skimmed. I think Avalanche was just seeking attention on day 0 with the whole Morlock thing, and in isolation I don't see it as particularly ping-worthy. There are lots of reasons to be an attention seeker. Regarding Polaris and anyone else who was called by the 'wrong' gender, it's just barely possible that it could've been a slip from knowing their true identity but it's far more likely in my opinion not to have been. Nine times out of ten when referring to an unfamiliar (or disguised) player whose gender is unknown people say he because it's one letter shorter than she and for some reason everyone is presumed male on the internet.

I'm quite curious about those who voted with no explanation, especially if it was their only or last post. Not saying that's where I'll definitely look for a vote, but it might be where I start.

Also maybe Polaris has a clearer view of what the ID thing means?

Longshot wrote:So in the X-Men media, what does it mean when the Danger Room acquires your ID? I at least know the 17 comes from the fact that Polaris's name is the 17th on the poll (if I counted right) but have no idea what the "acquired" means.

I counted the same, seems like a fair assumption. We'll have to see if other IDs match up the same way. I'm only fairly familiar with X-Men (interested, have read a few comics and seen some of the films, wouldn't say I know a huge amount about it) but I've never heard of the Danger Room acquiring someone's ID. I think that's just a game mechanic. It did once develop sentience and turn itself into a robot that tried to kill everyone, hopefully that doesn't happen now with us all inside!

This confused me as well. Why would we be going after baddies (albeit simulated ones) that aren't even in the game? If anyone wants to pick an option where we'll find people to fight wouldn't it be better to vote for somewhere we'd be likely to find the Brotherhood?

But then we could program that danger room to create another school and so on until we're in an infinite loop of danger rooms and that would mean... Well, it'd all be kinda silly. Seriously though, having thought a bit on it if we are in the DR already and planning like an order of where to go then I think the school is probably the safest location we have and so it'd mean we start out somewhere pretty benign maybe? That's how I'm gonna vote anyway.

does anyone know what these locations are?

The 2 positions part was there before the game filled up as like a countdown from whatever number of spots were free when Epig first wrote that post. I'm guessing after the last two signed up it was just kept in to look cool or something.

I'm not a particularly huge X-Men fan, I've followed stories every now and then but I can't say I'm familiar with most of the poll options so I'll look a few of them up before I vote but I do agree the Xavier Institute would seem like a pretty good starting point.

Also - Yay, new game!
