Cerberus Tribe - Day 9

[insertnamehere]

@insertnamehere @Marmot whatcha gonna do with them votes?

Nothin', as I think both Boomslang and Wilgy are civilians. I ain't choosing to be complicit in this shit.

Even if it means our tribe fails to lynch yet again?

Especially. Hopefully the people on the other tribe have their shit together more than we do.

They do. They've had a much more productive thread than us. But for the sake of advancing the game, I want us to lynch somebody instead of them. It would provide them with information about the game which I think would be valuable to them.

The only information I feel like you're gonna get is who was willing to jump onto a half-assed bandwagon in order to mislynch a civilian. I don't want my name to be included in that.

I'm talking about the other tribe. They're having more success at reading each other than we are, but their thoughts about the game mechanics are way off base. If we manage to lynch somebody, it will give them information about how the game is structured. I'm looking out for them, they're my buddies. we really bonded last night.

Uh huh. Well, I guess I value not mislynching a civilian over helping the other tribe...what, know that we can lynch people? How exactly would that even influence them? In what way would them knowing that help the civilian cause more than a mislynch?

For the record, I am as opposed to the idea of lynching spacedaisy/me as you are to the idea of lynching boomslang/drwilgy. And we're not even talking about suspects right now, so this doesn't seem like an effective way to bridge the gap.

But, since you asked, the other tribe currently thinks that both tribes are lynching freely every day. They don't know that they are overriding our lynches. If we can push a lynch across, they'll have some idea what's going on, it will change the way they approach the game. There are civilians in that tribe who will benefit from this information.
In addition to this, any civilian we might mislynch here is not actually going to die. we all have two lives. If we lynch wilgy or boomslang, or me or daisy, that person will come back with one life to go. It's preferable to have two lives, yeah, but the penalty for a mislynch is not as severe as it is in normal games.

I don't want to lynch spacedaisy. I think that would be a bad idea. I have had lingering doubts about Boomslang. His recent posts have seemed genuine though. I am considering a move to wilgy, though he's been a town read for me most of the day.

[Sloonei]

Current status of my relationship with Sloonei:

Because it helps me catch bad guys and mediate inter-personal conflicts in an office setting.

[Sloonei]

I suspect Boomslang. Therefore I am campaigning to get Boomslang lynched. That is Mafia 101. I am not telling you that you have to vote for Boomslang.

[Jackofhearts2005]

I think Kyle's trying to tell us he wants to be a dolphin.

Dolphin is an HCRealms role where you aren’t actually playing but this isn’t revealed until you are nightkilled or lynched. You don’t count towards majority or have a vote or night action and death doesn’t shut you up.

[Sloonei]

hey jack i was just wondering who you're gonna vote for, don't know if you got my message. thanks bye

[Jackofhearts2005]

@Marmot has not made a single post that I can't see coming from a mafia member. That's not a very good look. I also don't really know where he stands on anything. He just keeps self-voting and making small observations here and there.

I mean, yeah. I could say the same thing about INH, LoRab, SpaceDaisy, Wilgy, and to a lesser extent Kyle.

Hey @Kylemii! Remember a few days ago when you were gung-ho about making ISOs for people in the immediate aftermath of your upchuck party? What happened to that?

I know you’re insanified for some reason and we’ve at least got GTH of people, but I’d really like to know what your strongest pull is.

Kyle's an odd case. He's had limitations in this game which are not his fault (first being real-life sick, now being in-game sick), but in the time that he has been here I've not seen anything that's overwhelmingly town from him. I wanted to spend a lot of today making him talk. But somebody interfered with that plan.

You don’t get to complain about plans getting messed up.

[Jackofhearts2005]

hey jack i was just wondering who you're gonna vote for, don't know if you got my message. thanks bye

Idk. I’ve been at the hospital all day. Townie effort promises are jinxing me.

[Jackofhearts2005]

Boomslang who is basically Sigging vs Wilgy who is basically Wilgying.

Is that the arguments I’m looking at?

[Jackofhearts2005]

Fire Emblem Dead Chatzy is less effort than this game. Don’t judge me, Jay.

[Sloonei]

we past the deadline. I don't know how the DJ feels about us just yet.

[Golden]

"That was a very educational trip for me" said Sloonei, returning from Pikachu beach "and of course, it's no real surprise we sent me. I didn't even have to lobby for it."

"Whose glasses are those?" asked Spacedaisy "I don't remember you having those before."

"They are my DJ glasses" said Sloonei "I'm here to bring all the greatest modern hits." Sloonei put an Abba LP on his turntable.

"But most importantly of all - lets lynch someone. We never do it, it's fun, and I'm sick of no-one ever letting me get my own way unless I don't ask." said Sloonei

"I love Dancing Queen" said Kyle.

But no-one else was listening. They were standing around, fighting amongst themselves. Finally, insertnamehere emerged.

"Sloonei" said inh "we have been talking together, and we agree that.."

*BOOM*

Insertnamehere exploded.

After a short period of time, insertnamehere emerged from the woods.

"Sloonei" said inh "we have been talking together, and we agree that we cannot agree. Let's let Pikachu lynch today."

Day 4 has ended. Long Con has been lynched. He was:

11: Commander Shepard (Mass Effect). Your vote value begins at one, and will be determined based on a karmic system. Each day where you vote for a member of the mafia, the worth of your vote will increase by one. Each day where you vote for a civilian, the worth of your vote will decrease by one. Changes to the worth of your vote will take effect from the following day. Your vote is capped at a maximum of 4 and a minimum of -4. You are unable to evolve.

It is now night 4. It will last for 24 hours, meaning you have 22 hours to get your PMs in

[Jackofhearts2005]

Fuckaduck. Whatever. I wasnt gonna tie it up cause screw ties. You don’t need to know who I was gonna vote for cause I’m town.

I guess *unofficial vote Boomslang* if you must.

[Jackofhearts2005]

INH is secretly Long Con

[Jackofhearts2005]

Sloonei, tell me about Pikachu. Why was LC lynched?

[Sloonei]

Sloonei, tell me about Pikachu. Why was LC lynched?

I saw some people accusing him of faulty logic in earlier phases, I think. I don't recall who was saying these things though. I never read LC well, and he wasn't the most prominent name in any of the discussions that I read. He would not have been my preferred lynch over there.

[Scotty]

Sloonei, tell me about Pikachu. Why was LC lynched?

I can answer that.

Because he probably had at least 6 bloody votes on him

I’m mad. That role is most definitely civ/indie at worst

[Scotty]

@insertnamehere @Marmot whatcha gonna do with them votes?

Nothin', as I think both Boomslang and Wilgy are civilians. I ain't choosing to be complicit in this shit.

Even if it means our tribe fails to lynch yet again?

Why are you so fixated on this? If people haven't achieved reliable consensus, why force their hand, especially when the other tribe seems to be chugging along just fine? If we go into the merge with most of our tribe, we have that entire background of play to inform our choices in later game.

Yeah, they’re hitting targets over there, just not the right ones.

We missed LoRab’s vote and jack’s vote.

Jack, your nonvote is the one that rubs me the wrong way the most. You were here. You were engaged. Your nonvote for Boom means nothing.

[Scotty]

I fully expect to die tonight.

[Scotty]

Hey Jeff, let’s do another challenge so I can throw it next time!! That way I can literally MAKE THE TRIBE LYNCH SOMEONE

[Scotty]

K, I’m done ranting. See y’all later or not

[Marmot]

We're getting better, but whatever.

[Marmot]

I fully expect to die tonight.

Why do you say this?

[Marmot]

If the tribes merge and anyone from Pikachu asks, I was lynched and my role was flipped on Day 2.

[Jackofhearts2005]

Sloonei, tell me about Pikachu. Why was LC lynched?

I can answer that.

Because he probably had at least 6 bloody votes on him

I’m mad. That role is most definitely civ/indie at worst

It can’t possibly be that easy. I don’t think powers are alignment indicative.

[Jackofhearts2005]

[mention]Scotty[/mention]

You are mean for saying that and you should feel bad.

[Jackofhearts2005]

Pikachu town is being dumb for not double lynching. Of course, we aren’t lynching at all...

[Jackofhearts2005]

Lynching Player A and then lynching Player B is like hot potatoing to no lynch.

[DrWilgy]

Why did y'all try to kill me while I was in court?

[LoRab]

Ugh. I hate my schedule right now. Work stuff got quirky at end of day and I had to deal with things. I would have probably voted Wilgy, mainly because I still don't think Boomslang is bad.

What do we think "You are unable to evolve" means in LC's role?

I am also in the camp of not assuming alignment based on role--any role can be good or bad. And I think, especially in a game like this, it is dangerous to assume which roles are which.

Aight guys, I looked closer at LoRab. Guess what? I still think she’s a frog.

DAY 1:

Ugh. I have no idea where to vote. I don't actually suspect anyone

I have to vote somewhere.

It would be a tremendously gracious showing on your part if you were to join Daisy and I in solidarity against Boomslang, friend.

Sorry, friend.

Okokokok so she proceeds to vote Sloonei because he’s grasping at straws even though she says repeatedly that she doesn’t have any ideas. Boom had at least 2 votes on him at the time. But she wouldn’t go along with someone giving her an option because of “peer pressure”?? Woah nelly. That sounds like a cop out 130%.

If Boomslang is bad, which wouldn’t surprise me at this point, then LoRab is his Mike Pence.

I still don't think Boomslang is bad. And I didn't want to vote on a bandwagon, because I didn't suspect the people with multiple votes on them. So, I gave a vote to a player that I had some suspicion of, knowing that they wouldn't likely be lynched with 1 vote. I'm not sure why you see that as suspicious. (other than the fact that you suspect Boomslang)

What was the basis of your suspicion of me, why have you not mentioned it elsewhere, and why was it preferable to cast a vote that was not going to result in anything happening?

I voted for you because I had day 1 level suspicion of you. My suspicion came from a few things: one is that you totally switcherooed on sig and accused him of being bad as soon as he mentioned suspicion of you. You also seemed to grasp at every straw that came into reach to make cases against people for, what seemed to me, to be little to no reason. That was more suspicious than anything else that anyone had done, in my view, so I voted for you.

Why does this behavior register as suspicious to you? That's certainly a fair representation of what I did on Day 1. But I don't know why you found it suspicious.

I generally vote for the player that I have the most suspicion of--in this case, a little bit of suspicion was more than I had of anyone else. And, as I've said before, I didn't want to jump on either of the bandwagons, as I didn't see those players as suspicious, so I didn't want to vote that way--especially not just because other people were doing it.

I haven't mentioned you since then because your posts since then have seemed civ and the low level, day 1, suspicion of you has faded.

But you also didn't mention me before the vote. You qualified your vote by saying you had no suspects. Your vote for me seemed to be an instantaneous decision in the heat of the moment. I didn't get the impression that you had actually suspected me. I'm mot saying that you didn't, but that's part of what i'm getting hung up on right now.

What do you think of Boomslang and niju so far?

I pointed out your switcheroo post when you made it--you even asked me about what I meant and I explained it. So that's just patently untrue that I didn't mention you. I also explained why I voted for you when I did--which you also asked me about and I answered.

And I still think Boomslang is civ (as I've said multiple times). I think he was civ to start with, in part because I don't think he would kill niju on night 1 (as I have said before) and he hasn't done or said anything that has made me suspect him.

And niju, as I said last night, I thought Daisy brought up a good point about, and so I have an eye on her.

In other news. I've been stuck as a juror for the past day and a half with this song stuck in my head the entire time.


This is pretty much my own personal hell

lol are you and LoRab at the same trial?

Is it a civil or criminal trial? If civil, im so sorry that’s boring as shit

LOL, that would have made jury duty so much more entertaining. As it was, I was not chosen for the jury (criminal trial), after filling out a 10 page questionaire and having to go back to be interviewed by the judge in front of all the lawyers--if I had been chosen, it would have been an estimated 11 week trial. I'm pretty happy with not having to do that.

[juliets]

Please note night ends today at 6:06 pm eastern standard time. Please send all night actions to me and Golden by 4:06 pm eastern standard time.

[Scotty]

I found and killed a little itty bitty mouse today in the kitchen by stomping on it repeatedly. It was by far one of the more traumatizing experiences I’ve had to go through. I could never enter combat with the military, man. I just couldn’t do it.

[Jackofhearts2005]

INH is secretly Long Con

I’m caught upish and I apologize to the mods for this post.

Also let’s lynch INH.

how about no

[Jackofhearts2005]

I’m caught upish and I apologize to the mods for this post.

Also let’s lynch INH.

Justified by what reasoning?

Cause it eliminates a player, revealing actual alignment.

Cause he seemingly wasn’t killed by the mafia.

Cause I still think his reason for almost getting me lynched Day 1 was dishonest. I backed off cause he was cursed but that’s not really a good reason.

[Golden]

The lynching of Long Con was barely over when the snow began to fall. Gently at first, but it built stronger, and it wasn't long before a full on blizzard was occurring. No-one could see anyone else, and it was all they could do to huddle in whatever sheltered spot they could find. No-one could explain such an event in Fiji... and they were in Fiji.... weren't they??

No-one has died. It is now day 5, which will last for 48 hours.

[Marmot]

RIP Scotty.

Wait what?

[Sloonei]

At this point I do not know what to do or how to react. We're two weeks into Day 1.

[Jackofhearts2005]

Horay! Vote INHeggplant

[Jackofhearts2005]

At this point I do not know what to do or how to react. We're two weeks into Day 1.

We lynch some people twice.

Currently, enemy nks are free (provided mafia isn’t killing themselves).

Let’s end that.

[Sloonei]

Horay! Vote INHeggplant

Why INH and not niju or Scotty? Or yourself. Sacrifice yourself. It's for the greater good.

I don't understand this statement. What do you mean that nks are free?

So, 1/3 random bloodlust, 1/3 suspicion of me dying weirdly (?), and 1/3 resentment over me voting for him when he didn't show up on Day 1 of the Game of friggin' Champions?


Yeah, this is BS.

Now that thread subject shows Day 5. What gives?
