Oblique Strategies - an Eno Mafia [ENDGAME]

[insertnamehere]

Yessss, game!

So, from looking at the roles, it looks like there is a way for everyone to win.

What about this: We only lynch Animals. This would require that the Animals reveal their team. Blank Frank and Baby's on Fire refuse to use their NK. Then, after 6 days and nights, we are left with
6 Gals, who all instantly win, 6 Fellas, who all instantly win, and 6 dead Animals, who (due to the fact that members of their team can win while dead) instantly win also.

It's a win-win-win.

lets go to tiger mountain

[Snow Dog]

lets go to tiger mountain

That's the strategy.

[fingersplints]

tiger mountain!

[Marmot]

Let it be known that I'm strongly against the plan and will prevent it from succeeding at all costs [italics mine].

I don't think it will succeed but I like trying new things. Also I am a pacifist at heart.

1 - 10: all the cute furry things
11 - ?: the rest

i'm a pacifist butt i'm also pshyhchologilcally unstable

Who told you that?

I don't think he needs to be told that, it is readily apparent.

If he is pshychyclogogilcally unstable, would he realize it himself?

He's also said he's a pacifistic ass.

[nijuukyugou]

Tiger! Tiger! Tiger! Tiger!

Day 2

Moving on from Fire Island, the group, down one animal, but with full bellies at least, moved on to Tiger Mountain.
There, they climbed and they climbed. Oh, how they climbed. And when they got tired of climbing, they climbed some more. The main thing they noticed was that there were fewer tigers than advertised, but they did see quite a few camels roaming easily over the slopes.

"Look at that camel," said INH.

"Yes, peculiar," said S~V~S.

"I am tired of climbing this mountain," observed Black Rock.

But nobody cared about that, and they just kept climbing.

No one has died.
You have 24 hours to lynch someone.

Nobody died. What a surprise.

I self-voted because it's fun.

[Marmot]

Thanks for all the visits last night fellow players. We had a party in my tent on Tiger Mountain. Sorry you all couldn't make it.

I've told him lots of times.

[S~V~S]

Psychiatric help is expensive in Finalnd, k?

[triceratopzeuhl]

vomps is at least 5 years overdue on psychiatric help

[triceratopzeuhl]

are metalmarshes' self-votes an admission that they are an animal, or just an admission that they are trying to ruin the game for the rest of us? I would assume that only people interested in winning would want to play mafia (if they are sane unlike voopy), so one would only put themselves up for death if they could still win. Reasonable assumptions?

[Vompatti]

i'm too shy to psyhchhiatrist k

also i'm surprised nobody used their kill

Interesting observation there.

There's also a chance that I didn't even look at my role and am just being a complete nincompoop.

Oh, and I'm dense.

[Mongoose]

Today at work was brutal.

What are your favorite movies featuring animals?

Mine are:

1. Rikki-Tikki-Tavi
2. Bringing Up Baby
3. Fantastic Mr. Fox
4. The Thin Man
5. Ernest & Celestine
6. A Cat in Paris
7. Out of Africa
8. The Wizard of Oz
9. Harry Potter
10. The Muppets Movie

[Mongoose]

I'll go ahead and vote S~V~S.

Go Go Eno Go

[triceratopzeuhl]

Did SVS say she was an animal?

[insertnamehere]

OK, I think that "winning" by not sending in night actions and volunteering to be lynched is not really *winning*, or even playing, tbh. If i wanted to trust y'all, I would not be playing Mafia.

So I am gonna say I am an animal, and volunteer to be the next sacrifice.

I just realized how that sounds, I am not just saying i am an animal to say it, I really AM an animal

Yeppers.

[Marmot]

Ten favorite movies featuring animals?

In no particular order.

1) Lord of the Rings
2) Finding Nemo
3) The Green Mile
4) Spirited Away
5) Who Framed Roger Rabbit
6) Monty Python and the Holy Grail
7) Harry Potter
8) The Yellow Submarine
9) The Wind in the Willows
10) I don't know, something else

[Tangrowth]

vomps is at least 5 years overdue on psychiatric help

[S~V~S]

Did SVS say she was an animal?

OOOO eeeee oooooo ooooooo

Indeed I am an animal. I am OK volunteering to be lynched. Sorry Llama, I know you loved this game.

[Marmot]

I am OK volunteering to be lynched.

If only I wasn't roleblocked, you'd be dead alr... WAIT! That's not what I meant to say!!

[juliets]

This game is starting to make me feel bad. I don't want to ruin llamas game nor do I want SVS to feel like she doesn't want to play either. On the other hand, I can't think of any better strategy and i can't escape that if it works we all win. So, i will probably reluctantly vote for SVS tomorrow. I'm sorry SVS.

[S~V~S]

No worries JC. Maybe llama did hope this would happen, he made it easy to figure out and to implement it.

[Vompatti]

Can't all the animals who support this plan reveal themselves now so we can avoid voting for them?

[Mongoose]

Hey, remember that ode Michael Jackson did to Eno?

"Don't Stop Til You Get Eno"

You should start hunting for baddies then.

Wait, who are the baddies?

[Roxy]

I am sorry but I do not trust inh to have MY best interest in mind and this game is quite ho-hum imo.

I do not want to vote SVS
I do want to vote for inh so I have done so

[Snow Dog]

Votes SVS

[Vompatti]

Voted INH.

[S~V~S]

[Vompatti]

dogs have no hell

[juliets]

I'm voting SVS. And you're right MM, who are the baddies? Except for the people with the kills but at least one of them is good with the plan. Hopefully we'll see tonight that the other one is too.

[Marmot]

dogs have no hell

Dogs only go to heaven if you're Christian.

[Vompatti]

I would like to see your buttocks.

I don't like this plan tbh

[sabie12]

To the people that don't like the plan what don't you like about it?

[S~V~S]

It isn't really "playing", is it? I mean, I like to win, but I like to work for it, too. I am missing how this is "fun", you know? So by volunteering I am essentially quitting a game I sm not really enjoying, while (hopefully) helping those who want an easy, clean win achieve it. It isn't for me, but everyone is different.

[Roxy]

^^^ this
Plus I do not trust inh's motives.

[sabie12]

I can understand that it makes sense. Since a lot of people have gotten on board with it, I have found it difficult to really figure out how to play normally at this point.

[A Person]

There is still room for some trickery, but as long as only animals die there is no reason for anything else to happen that I can think of. Whether Llama intentionally did it or not, strictly following game rules The Strategy seems to be the most ideal way to play this game.

[fingersplints]

What has already been said sabie. Voting plans rarely actually work, and this one feels a lot like "cheating the system"... in the event that it actually does work.

And "animals revealing their team" feels a lot like outing. Idkk I don't like it at all and I don't plan on following it. Is the only pro for this that INH assures us that everyone will win?

I play to have fun, and if I win yea that's cool too, but I'd rather enjoy doing it and be challenged. Following this voting plan and winning isn't a win for me, I'm sorry.

[Vompatti]

I agree with the above.

Also I would find it highly amusing if it turned out SVS was a non-animal.

[A Person]

ture, it would be a good way to make sure the animals have almost no chance of winning, but you also hurt your own team by doing it. If you are a gal then there is no reason to do it at all because you don't win if your teammates do, so she's most likely an animal or a fella.

Perhaps for the sake of solidarity one member of each of the other teams should team claim with an animal each day, so that when we reach the last day we know no one is lying.
