Return to “Mountain Mafia [END]”
Oh I see what you meant now Sloonei.Dragon D. Luffy wrote: ↑Fri Dec 15, 2017 2:42 pm It's hard to resist the temptation to chit-chat when you're hosting a game. I'm a huge culprit of that myself.
But yeah, a good rule of thumb is to only answer questions when the player adresses you directly in the thread, and not relay any more intormation that what was asked. This way you don't make it obvious whether they know it or not.
I respond to all questions in the location they are asked. I guess not everyone would know or assume that. But thats's what happens when we make assumptions I guess.Sloonei wrote: ↑Fri Dec 15, 2017 2:21 pm I don't want this to sound critical of Marmot in any way becauase it's not. Just an observation I made this game and a note about personal preference. The reason I felt confident Malakim was town was actually this post:It wasn't just that he was confused about the nightkill mechanics, but also that he got a response from the host in the thread. It suggested to me that malakim's ignorance of the nightkill mechanics was genuine and that he had no hand in carrying them out, or else Marmot wouldn't have been compelled to respond here. It's a tiny thing, but any host interaction has the potential to reveal information. This one gave me a hint about a player's role that I should not have had.Spoiler: show
It's here now.
Nope, he did not. Great effort on his part and many others in this game.

Description
Lynch Octopus, known in Japan as Lyncher Octopuld (リンチャー・オクトパルド, Rinchā Okutoparudo?), is an octopus-type Maverick in Mega Man X. She was a Maverick Hunter from the 6th Marine Unit under Sigma who followed his revolt. In Mega Man X5, she was revealed to be a friend and/or sister to Squid Adler, depending on the translation; her name is also written "Octopardo" here. She appears in Mega Man Maverick Hunter X in the same role as before, with a slightly effeminate personality.
Strategy
Her Homing Torpedo, though her main weapon is the least of the player's worries, as she can pull X toward her in a whirlpool and drain his energy, but if the player uses Boomerang Cutter against her three times, she loses her tentacles, and thus cannot use the ability. But his main weakness is the Rolling Shield, since it ruptures her internal buoyancy/pressure system.
In Mega Man Xtreme 2, her weakness is Tri-Thunder, the weapon wrested from Volt Catfish in said game, however hitting her with any version of another weapon Ray Claw just once will sever her tentacles. The weapon X gains from defeating Lynch Octopus is Marine Tornado, which is perhaps a nod to her whirlpool ability.
In Mountain Mafia, her weakness is Civilian Unity which can be gained by defeating Host Marmot on the Mountain Stage. She can also be defeated by being consecutively hit with 3 votes.

A lovely excerpt from K2 wrote:Dear Mountains,
What's that? The ghost of Red Beard! Listen: ''Coast Guard baffled as third freighter raided within a week. '' ''C. L. Magnus, owner of shipping line. . . . . . claims it's the ghost of Red Beard the pirate seeking revenge. '' Like, l'm sure glad he's not seeking my superduper sandwich! Yeah! Yeah! Lucky for him. He'd probably get indigestion. Paw please, Scooby. Now, that's what l call handy bite-size! Delicious! What happened? Poor Mr. Magnus! First he's going out of business, now this ghost pirate shows up. Why would a ghost pirate want revenge on a nice man like Mr. Magnus? l don't know. But maybe we can help him solve this mystery. Let's go see him! -This must be the apartment. -''Penthouse, C. L. Magnus. '' Yes? Excuse us, but we'd like to talk to Mr. Magnus. l'm afraid not. He's not to be disturbed. Well! That slams the door closed on this ghost mystery! lf Mr. Magnus knew we wanted to help, he'd see us. Maybe we still can. l've got an idea. -ls everybody all set? -Okay! Yes? Room service! -Breakfast is served! -At 11:00 at night? Sure, so you don't have to get up in the morning to eat! What's going on in here? Do you believe we're here to help? -Like Good Samaritan Joes! -Yeah, yeah! So, you see, it was over . . . that Red Beard the pirate was the terror of the seven seas. When my ancestors brought him to justice. . . . . . he vowed to return and avenge himself. Now that he has, l'm afraid nothing can be done to stop him. l'm not so sure, Mr. Magnus. Ghosts are our specialty. And l have a plan that l think will work. lf Red Beard sticks to a schedule, he should strike tonight! Yeah! And we are going to be there first, and fool him. There's the Magnus freighter, right on schedule. Good. Now keep your eyes peeled for a mysterious fog bank! That's where we'll find Red Beard's ghost! You can stop looking, it's right ahead! -Let's put Operation Decoy to work! -l'll switch on the tape recorder. Now head into the fog bank, Shaggy. Let's hope that ghost thinks we're the freighter! lt sure is creepy in here. Like, the fog is so thick, you can cut it with a knife. Scooby-Doo! Wow! Look! The ghost ship! Our plan worked too well! lt's going to ram us! -Quick, full-speed reverse! -Like, double full-speed reverse! Start paddling! l'm paddling! But l'm not getting anywhere! -Me, neither! -Hang on! We've been cut in half. -Now what'll we do? -Sink! Oh, my hairdo! Scooby-Doo! Where are you? Hey! Come on, let's get out of this water. And there's only one place to go. The ghost ship! Ghost ship? Oh, boy! One more. . . . . . tug! Well, we're aboard this creaking, creepy craft. Like, let's hope the others made it too. l hope so. Do you see any ghosts? No, this spooky old ship looks deserted to me. lf l know Shag and Scoob, they're already aboard. Let's find them. Yeah, and maybe we can find some clues as well. This must be Red Beard's cabin, Scoob. And look at that kooky picture. That must be Red Beard, himself! Yipe! Help! Zoinks! lt's him! An unfriendly ghost sword! Zoinks! Yipe! That was close! Yeah! Now, let's figure how to. . . . . . get out of here! One, two, three ghosts! For a ghost ship, there sure aren't many ghosts. Maybe they're haunting for a new house. Or out with a couple of old ''ghoul friends. '' Our jokes weren't that funny, Freddy! -l didn't laugh! -Look! Red Beard! Come on, let's follow him, but not too close. -He's gone! -Maybe he went in that door. Let's go take a look. Come on! He's not in here, that's for sure. Thank goodness. This ghost ship is giving me chills! lt's not the ship that's giving you chills. lt's this dry ice. What's dry ice doing on a ghost ship? l don't know, but l think we've found a clue! The door! We're locked in! lt's him! Red Beard! Stop your sniveling, or l'll make you walk the plank! What are you gonna do with us, Your Ghostliness? But if you were good for anything, l'd spare you. -We're good cooks! -Huh? Good cooks, eh? Well, get up and fix me some dinner! And remember, it better be good, or. . . . Aye, aye, sir! Or. . . . Well, the seawater's boiling. l wonder what ghosts like in their stew, Scoob. Chains? Chains! Yeah! Ghosts like chains! And, oh, yeah, some ashes from the stove! -You know, this could be real good! -Yeah, yeah! Now, what else? Cobwebs? Cobwebs! Delightful! Why didn't l think of that? Wow! Now, did we forget anything? Soap! Soap? l hardly use it myself, but why not? l sure hope old Red Beard likes ghost pirate stew! Me too! Ghost pirate stew, eh? You eat it! But we aren't hungry. Eat it! Bubbles? Let's bubble our way out of here! Hey! Stop that! Come on, run! Here comes two of them. And we gotta lose them! And the only way to lose them is to fool them! -First, a paper pirate hat! -Pirate hat? And next, my super Shaggy imitation of Red Beard. They went thattaway! Get going, you swabs! They thought l was Red Beard! Yipes! lt's him again! -They'll never find us under here. -l hope! Only trouble is, l can't see where we're going! Going down! Oh, boy, off of one tub and into another. Shaggy! -Scooby, your voice has changed. -Up here! -Velma! -We're locked in! Don't worry, we'll save you, l think. Come on, Scoob! Follow that ghost ship! So this is where they've been hiding! A secret cove at Skull lsland. Why does a ghost ship need a secret cove? l don't know. This mystery gets more mysterious by the minute! There they go! Keep paddling, Scooby! Yipes! Keep paddling! Quit clowning around! Soon you shall join my crew! What did he mean by that? l guess he means we're going to be ghosts before he's done! l hate to spoil his fun, but we're gonna bust out of here! But how? The key for the lock is way over there! Like this. A pole from this straw, and gum is going to get us the key! lt won't quite reach. One more piece of straw ought to do it. Got it! Let's get out of these creepy caves! You said it! That seagoing spook might show up any minute! -Four tunnels. Which one shall we take? -Mo! -Mo? -Sure! Eenie, meenie, minie, mo! Mo it is! Hi, Velma. Shaggy! Scooby! Hey, Shag, l see you found us! Yeah, now like, let's all get lost! First, get rid of that ridiculous pirate hat you're wearing. Hey! Wait a minute! Let me see that hat! This is a ship's manifest! l've heard of man-o-war, but l've never heard of man-o-fest! lt's a list of the cargo the ship was carrying. . . . . . and how much it was worth. ls that a clue? You bet! Look at the date! That ship won't sail until tomorrow! -How would a ghost get this? -Why would he want it? l have a hunch a little investigation will give us the answer. Come on! l was right! Truck tire tracks! Now we know the ghost drives a truck. Let's see where they go. -Okay, Scooby, follow the tire tracks. -Yeah, yeah! Well, lead on. -A pirate's chest! -lt must contain the truck. . . . . . because that's where the tracks end. lf so, this creepy cave is creepier than l thought! Come on, let's find out what's in the chest. Open it up! What's the password, you swabs? Zoinks! A talking pirate skull! Everybody relax, it's only a mini-microphone and speaker. -What's it mean by ''give the password''? -l don't know, let's give it a try. ''Sixteen men on a pirate's chest''? Let's see. ''Yo-ho-ho, blow the man down''? How about, ''Yum, yum, yum, and a liverwurst a la mode''? Wow! What a password! lt worked this voice-activated secret entrance! -The tire tracks go right inside! -And so are we. Come on! So this is where Red Beard stores his stolen cargo. And this is where Red Beard will keep his secret forever! Zoinks! lt's that goony ghost again! Let's get-- Lower the iron door, and after them! Quick! Behind the crates! Zoinks! lt's the gay blade of the ghost set again! Yoinks! lt's trying to shish kebab us, Scoob! Scooby snacks! Scooby snacks! Boxes of them! -Scooby-Doo! -Scooby-Doo! lf l only had a sword! This nightstick should do it! En garde! -Wow! lt's liverwurst! -Liverwurst! Delicious! Gangway! Behind that barrel! Down the hatch! l should have known! Oil! Make your shots count. l hope this works on ghosts! Bull's-eye! Two down! l mean up! And one Red Beard to go! Now l'll make a pirate's stew out of you! -Hands up and stand back, partner! -An eggbeater? Yeah, an eggbeater! Hey! Let's ride! He'll never catch us on this automatic pogo stick! Pogo stick? This is a jackhammer! -Shaggy! -Scooby! Look out! Look out! The tires! We did it, Scooby! Scooby-Doo! Nice going, kids. Uncovering these phonies and their ship is a job well done! Thanks. Now, let's see whose glowing phosphorous face Red Beard really is! Mr. Magnus! l thought like, the butler always did it! -But who are the other two? -Hired henchmen, l guess. Mr. Magnus was about to lose his business. . . . . . unless he came up with a lot of money! What easier way than to hijack your ships and sell the cargo? They had a neat ghost setup. Down to the ghost sword operated by wires. Where did that mysterious fog come from? -Simple! Like, dry ice! -Dry ice? Sure. All they did was drop dry ice over the side of the ship. And when dry ice mixes with water, it makes a real spooky fog. -Show them, Scooby. -Right! Scooby-Doo!

I won't describe situations where only one side can win, but I will end the game if such a situation arises.speedchuck wrote: ↑Mon Dec 11, 2017 3:52 pm I could agree that LC and Quin are very, very likely town from those posts.
BTW we have three lynches left in this game, so long as we have a kill every single night. Come to think of it, if Everest's extra role passes down continually... is it possible for us to lose this game? 1 on 1, town v scum, town will win with the doublevote every time, right?

I asked for one thing. One thing only. You all went and did the exact opposite thing of what that thing was. This role is basically useless if people figure out who I am so I took several precautions from the start to hide my identity. I didn't want you to absolve anyone from suspicion just because they might be me. I still don't. It's a bad habit to fall into.
Though to be fair, the fact that you were giving DrWilgy a free pass for no reason was exactly why I told you to stop speculating about K2's identity in the first place. Speculating on the topic caused him to be brought up again as a topic of discussion and ultimately lynched as a baddie so... Nice work.
Anyways, it's time to review everything that's happened already through a new window now that we know DrWilgy and Jay were both Small Mountains.
I'd recommend Eloh or Long Con. Eloh looks especially bad in the context that DrWilgy and Jay were bad. There's also a possibility of mafia DDL, but I think it's less likely than Eloh. Maybe both of them???
There's probably also a baddie between nijuukyugou and Sig. One but not both.
None of this is new information. I think we're all on the same page at this point.
At this point we can probably figure out who the mafia is through process of elimination, and I'm guessing the mafia are aware of that as well. Watch out for desperation tactics. It's definitely possible that a Small Mountain took this opportunity to bus Wilgy.
Multiple choice, K2's next post will contain which of the following:
A. a Fleetwood Mac song parody
B. Lord of the Rings spoilers
C. an hour long YouTube video of relaxing nature mountain sounds
D. just the solitary word "piss" and nothing else
We're on a roll now. Let's keep this murder train going. Let's do our best. Stay hydrated everyone. K2 loves you.

That's an accurate assumption. One of his checks will be true, one will be false.

Do not worry about trying to read all of this nonsense. This is already the biggest speed game in syndicate history. It'll be pointless and counterproductive to attempt a catch up. Just hop right in and start telling us who seems honest or dishonest.
K2 wrote:Dear Mountains,
Fuck.
I don't know, let's just fucking lynch Sig or something.
Who cares?
Love,
K2
Just kidding, K2 cares. K2 cares a lot.
cBob's loss was unfortunate, but there's a silver lining in the fact that we now know he was Elbrus. Now, some of his posts can be viewed in a different light.
cBob must have known he was going to die sooner than later. I'd bet real money that he'd spent his role check powers at some point before his death. In particular I think it would be a good idea to view Quin, DDL, and Doctor Wilgy with extra scrutiny, for now as they were his last three named suspects before his lynch. All three seem like they might have been likely candidates for a role check.
K2 has a very strong gut feeling that DDL is mafia. If DDL isn't mafia K2 will eat K2's own 8,611m tall hat. Please trust K2's gut.
I've been watching him all game and I'm about 90% sure LC is mafia. You can take that to the bank and smoke it.
Keep doing your best, Big Mountains. If you all believe in yourselves as much as I believe in you then there's no way we can lose! <3
Love,
K2
P.S. If all else fails we can just, you know, lynch Sig.
If the game gets to a state where there is only one possible outcome, the game will end immediately and the winner(s) declared.speedchuck wrote: ↑Wed Dec 06, 2017 11:39 amWell, in a sense, Everest itself has vanilla town value. When Everest dies, it's vote passes town to the next highest living mountain. So killing Everest is pointless. The vote will stay as long as town lives.
Which... raises some questions.
@Marmot
With town having an extra vote, will the game go to town if we get it down to 1 town 1 scum? Usually scum would overrun because they have a kill and the vote is deadlocked. But whatever townie is left would have 2 votes...
K2 wrote:Dear Mountains,
Alright, so we made a bad call. It happens sometimes. Let's take it slower this time and talk more before coming to decision. It's times like these where it's best to rethink what we've already taken for granted.
cBob, DDL, LC. Those are my top suspects.
cBob is probably the best option of those but I would appreciate if some townie mountains would look into LC and DDL today as well.
LC in particular has been laying back in a way that makes me uncomfortable. He doesn't have that hungry for justice civvie drive that I associate with a civvie LC. He's giving opinions on things but he's not personally taking ownership for anything, and that scares me. I would appreciate if others would keep him in consideration.
This may be wrong but I sensed some level of insincerity from DDL regarding his feelings about the Malikim lynch. After the flip, DDL posted that he had been worried that Malakim might flip civ because of his 'fuck you' outburst. DDL's earlier posts support this but it's strange that he wasn't more vocal about his concern, and it seems scummy that he felt the need to mention it.
Small mountains can hide under avalanches, so don't let this be another landslide vote. Discussion is our strongest weapon, let's use it.
Also, if K2 sees another player speculating in the thread about K2's identity, that player will be publicly shamed in the next K2 post, so cut that out.
Love,
K2
