That challenge should've ended the whole game tbh.

I see that everyone else is stunned silent by our accomplishment with that 10-minute challenge. No, we are not immortal, just committed.

Re: [DAY 12] Turf Wars: Battle of the Hosts
So to be clear, you think that Sloonei is the don because, even though his vote did not stay on Gleam by the end of Day 1, the fact that he voted for him at all triggered the defection? The Traitor role descritpion does seem to suggest this possibility.Prisoner 509378 wrote:I'll help the prisoners understand why they don't need to worry about Sloonei and Turnip Head in ways that those two cannot.
We know for sure that both dons are still alive. They cannot be arrested, and no lynches have resulted in a don flip.
Sloonei mechanically must be a don. agleaminranks the traitor was triggered to switch sides after Day 1. This means his don voted for him on Day 1. The following people voted for agleam on Day 1:
S~V~S - can't be don, was arrested
Golden - can't be don, was arrested
DDL - can't be don, was lynched and flipped Sockface
Epignosis - can't be don, was lynched and flipped Warden
Sloonei - alive and the don
Turnip Head is 98% likely to be the other don. An attempt to lynch him already failed, and a clear consigliere candidate is visible in thellama73.
I cannot be a cop because only one had been arrested when I was paroled (RadicalFuzz), and he was already modkilled.
This is why our focus is completely on chaindeath, Elohcin/Serge, and Soneji.

Prisoner 509378 wrote:I have a little time before I am absorbed into mass transit, so I'll do some work. Why might each of the suspects have killed Nero? I'll theorize:
chaindeath
Throughout the game he has been stating a cop read on Nero (and Nero very often stated a cop read on chaindeath). On Night 11 however, chaindeath changed his mind:
Prior to this moment, Nero only had two significant enemies left in this thread -- chaindeath himself and me. Soneji and Sloonei have been more positive in their reads on Nero lately. So with chaindeath changing his mind like this, Nero's chance of being lynched immediately dropped by quite a bit. I can't lynch him by myself after all (and it's a good thing he was removed or I might have tried. ). This might be an example of chaindeath projecting his own kill inadvertently by justifying it with a newly developed town read. With that read in the thread, suddenly a highly questionable arrest choice makes at least a little more sense.chaindeath wrote:Chaindeath is fine with Sloonei being warden. Soneji and Elo are likely the cops that are remaining. And to preemptively stop the OMG he changed his mind on Nero. It happens. In light of Epi's flip as a cop and some of the conversation leading up to and in the time between days chaindeath has an idea. Epi kept pushing for the two of us to be lynched and if Nero was his teammate that probably wouldn't be a smart thing to do. What would happen if the town rallied to chaindeath's side and we ended up lynching him and loosing the game from it. He'll be keeping an eye on Nero but for the moment he seems like he could be town.
Moreover, I think the Nero kill was strategically dubious -- he was a legitimate candidate to be a cop and he didn't have to be arrested. I fully expected to be arrested myself, because I'm never getting lynched on Day 12 and my vote can contribute to the lynch of an actual cop. chaindeath is the newest player remaining in this field, and this might have simply been a newbie mistake. I mean no offense chaindeath, we've all had moments like that.
Elohcin
Epignosis frequently asserted that Eloh just isn't reading this thread at all. He might have been with the cops, but I still believe him on that point. I don't think she is paying attention to this game beyond the necessity to meet voting requirements. That might be enough to explain a dubious arrest choice like Nerolunar.
Soneji
If he's a cop, he has to arrest someone -- and among the standard townies he has no options except for people that could be lynched (anyone not including Sloonei or Turnip Head). The only question to be asked for Soneji would be: "Why wouldn't he arrest Prisoner 509378 instead of Nerolunar???" If there's any reason to be stated, it'd be the cop win condition -- all members of the crime families must be eliminated. If Soneji has reason to doubt that I count among them, then removing me is not necessary to meeting that win condition regardless of my strategic position in the game currently.
These are all excellent observations, 509. I am going to go back now to read through from Day 10 onward. If I have time, I will ISO the three suspects.Prisoner 509378 wrote:Part of me wonders if Epi specifically convinced his wife to fill in for his team mate (Serge) when the need arose for a replacement.

Re: [DAY 2] Turf Wars: Battle of the Hosts
I was actually doing a full read through of soneji's posts with an eye on mentions of ika and the seemer. Here's what I found:
ika was one of soneji's first suspects, stated on Day 2:He then backs off of ika somewhat for a couple of days after we lynched Fuzz. Everyone did this. He jumps back on ika after ika suggests that Sloonei is the Don and he's the reason a nightkill failed. A few people were at ika's throat calling this a scum slip, but Soneji's case was a bit more nuanced than that, which I like. He first mentions it in this large post, and explains it in more detail later on in this post (Day 6, pre-ika lynch):
So it's definitely established that Soneji suspected ika for much of the game, and his reasons not only check out, but are different from the popular reasons that people were holding against ika. I like this (and I like a lot of Soneji's ISO when I read through it again. He's been on a number of people's cases for reasons that go against the grain, and it's starting to look like he was right about a lot of it. That would be an unusually high volume of unnecessary bussing if he's bad). But what I'm really looking for here is evidence that Soneji has known ika was the undercover cop since the moment he flipped. And there is some. I'll highlight a couple of posts that caught my eye, both from Night 9, before we knew the seemer had to be dead/arrested:
The second one in particular resonates strongly with me. It is the kind of twisty, convoluted, yet sensible logic that I would associate with a player who knows something to be true, but can't outright state it in the thread because it would get him modkilled. It seems to me like Soneji is implying that if ika was the stool pigeon, he would have been more conscious of the possibility that a night arrested failed because of that role, but ika suggested it was a Don that made the kill fail, implying his mind was only on that role. Or I'm misinterpreting Soneji's post, but either way I think these couple of posts provide some feasible bread crumbs.
One point against the theory, though, is this post here from Day 8 (post-ika lynch)
But then one more point that I just remembered but forgot to highlight earlier in this post. On Day 7 I asked him a couple of things, including what he thought about the speculation that DDL was the seemer. At the time we had the greatest consensus on this choice. Ika's name had come up as a possible seemer, but no more than everyone else's had. When I asked soneji what he thought of the possibility that DDL was the seemer, he completely ignored the question:He responded to the rest of my post in full, which makes me feel like his lack of a response to the particular question about DDL was deliberate. He had no thoughts on DDL being the seemer because he knew it wasn't the case.
When reading through Soneji's posts I can get at least a faint sense that he knew ika was the seemer, but that he didn't want to/couldn't just come out and say this, so he tried to take a tight-lipped approach to drop hints here and there when he couldn't outright say the things he wanted to say.
Plus his post history in general continues to look excellent. He was on Mongoose and Epi for ages. The episode where Prisoner 509378 provided a "fake" case against Epi at Epi's request, and then Soneji jumped on board with that case, as was highlighted earlier, reads as a genuine scum hunting effort on Soneji's part. If Epi had coordinated that behind the scenes, it's unlikely one of his teammates would have jumped on it like that. Plus he was one of the only people to bring up Mongoose/Draconus prior to process of elimination leading the rest of us to Dom. He also made a big case against Serge (Elohcin) earlier in the game that no one ever followed up on (I remember liking this post when I first read it, but then I could never find it again afterwards and forgot who made it).
Every time I look at Soneji's posts he becomes more of a town read, and since we know that 2 out of the 3 of him, Elohcin, and chaindeath have to be the final 2 cops, I feel pretty good about our chances.

Re: [DAY 12] Turf Wars: Battle of the Hosts
So maybe we should lynch chaindeath and just hope Elohcin isn't paying attention and misses the night phase? Or go for Elohcin since we think she is the Chief, thereby eliminating the prospect of a double arrest?

Re: [DAY 12] Turf Wars: Battle of the Hosts
I would prefer to try to eliminate the chief first. I am inclined to believe that is Elohcin. If it is her, she is at least paying enough attention to submit a nightly kill.Prisoner 813142 wrote:So maybe we should lynch chaindeath and just hope Elohcin isn't paying attention and misses the night phase? Or go for Elohcin since we think she is the Chief, thereby eliminating the prospect of a double arrest?
However I'd say I'm more confident about chaindeath being a cop, simply because he's provided more content this game.

Re: [DAY 12] Turf Wars: Battle of the Hosts
Really, eliminating the double arrest is a "no-brainer." That might also make sense why the the hosts didn't just let Serge's role wallow in unused oblivion. The police need that role active to keep the double-arrest alive. Did there seem to be tension or desperation at all at the time the hosts were looking for a replacement? It could help explain Elohcin's recruitment by Epi- "Please, honey, just fill in for the role. We need the help. You won't even have to post much. You keep the double-arrest chance alive and we'll take care of you."

Re: [DAY 2] Turf Wars: Battle of the Hosts
Here is Soneji's case against Serge (Elohcin), by the way. There has not been much content provided by either Serge or Elohcin since this time, so it can be read as a rather complete case, though it was made long before process of elimination had brought us to where we are now. This is probably as thorough as it's gonna get as far as actual content analysis goes for Serge or Elohcin:

Re: [DAY 12] Turf Wars: Battle of the Hosts
The hosts have been scrambling for replacements all game long (the existence of all you prisoners probably made it a little more difficult), but things seemed to have settled by the time Elohcin replaced Serge. That one kinda came out of nowhere too. Serge wasn't the most active player in the game, but it's not like he was a non-entity either. I could see it being the case that he was simply struggling to keep up with providing two kills each night. Elohcin certainly would have been easier for Epi to communicate with on that front.Prisoner 813142 wrote:Really, eliminating the double arrest is a "no-brainer."

Re: [DAY 12] Turf Wars: Battle of the Hosts
I am in the midst of reading Day 10 forward to now. I'm glad someone suggested it, it helps with the history of whats been happening. I also Iso'd Elohcin - it was so short it took no time at all. It appears she is not really interested in the game which would match with what 813 speculates Epi could have told her about playing (don't have to do much, just keep our double arrest alive). I realize it doesn't match what Epi said about her liking to have bts but maybe she's just is too busy to be into the game. I am leaning toward her currently in my re-read but I have several more 100 post pages to go. I could change my mind after I get through these additional pages.

Re: [DAY 8] Turf Wars: Battle of the Hosts
Also of note in the case against Elohcin is this series of events starting around the time she subbed in. Epi proposed a plan to "determine if she's bad or not" by having someone provide a fake read on him and see how she responds to it.
It's obvious now that this plan of Epi's was insincere, so it's reasonable to assume he was trying to frame Eloh in a particular light. As we have been at a crucial stage in the game where a single mislynch means town destruction, if Epi wanted to push for Eloh to be lynched, he could have. And if he didn't feel like resorting to a cheap tactic like that (I doubt he would want to win that way) he could have at least shrugged his shoulders at her and let the townies decide. But instead he chose to set up this entire elaborate plot to read her, and then elected to protect her and tell us all that she's town:Epignosis wrote:I agree with this.Spoiler: show
Based on this and all the other evidence at the moment, I feel like this was a deliberate attempt by Epi to protect his teammate Elohcin from being lynched.Epignosis wrote:Eloh not reading the thread means she doesn't have a team- no one she's going to disappoint. She said herself she was just going to add to the vote number, and I have no reason to doubt that.Prisoner 509378 wrote:Do you think Eloh not reading the thread reflects on her in any certain way?Epignosis wrote:One vote on sig is not enough for my liking.Sloonei wrote:5 votes on Boomslang is not enough for my liking, no sir

Re: [DAY 4] Turf Wars: Battle of the Hosts
Epi's first interaction with Soneji is a dismissal of his case against Mongoose (Dom, confirmed cop):
Then his 5 person scum team includes soneji along with chaindeath and 3 now-confirmed townies:
There's quite a bit more between Epi and Soneji from recent days if anyone wants to dig through it, but my mind is practically made up now. Soneji and Epi are not teammates. Elohcin and chaindeath are the two remaining cops. I'd still love to hear from anyone who disagrees with me on this. I am confident about these reads, but the game is not over yet.
Then he appears not to say much for a while, thought it's possible I'm missing something. Ctrl + F is not an exact science. When he does say something, it's much later in the game and he's making vague threats against Soneji about schooling him once sig flips bad. Epi obviously knew sig wouldn't flip bad, but whatever.Epignosis wrote:Have you ever met Mongoose before?Soneji wrote:I understood the context of how she was trying to come across(as naive of possible new habits), its just that the context in which the question was asked(as a prerequisite to a stated desire to vote lynch Ika) is rather scummy. If the question about voting people to get their attention came prior to a vote on Ika/stated desire to vote Ika, I likely wouldn't find the behavior suspicious. Lack of confidence in your own reads is also more indicative of scum, who don't want to be seen as going after the wrong people or having weak reasoning. If Ika's behavior was in any way normal in the community as it is now, people wouldn't have been suspecting him for it as much as they did D1, which should have clued Mongoose in. Even so, she felt the need to be sure that her reasoning was sound in the eyes of others.Dragon D. Luffy wrote:Somehow I managed to skip a large post by Soneji.
He makes a good point on Mongoose, though in the last quote, I have to say the fact she is asking about how mafia is played here is because she is back after a long hiatus, during which a lot of people from different communities came here and change the usual playstyle.
Spoiler: show
This is a much lengthier post in which he responds to Soneji's case against him. I think soneji's case itself looks sincere, but my tunnel vision is directing me toward labeling everything soneji does as town at this point. Epi's responses here also seem strained enough for this to be real case. He tries to casually dismiss a number of Soneji's points without really engaging anything, suggesting to me that the case is legitimate and Epi didn't have any real way to diffuse it, so he just tried to brush Soneji himself off as an accuser.Epignosis wrote:I'll participate.Prisoner 509378 wrote:Quin, you're not a lynch I would favor in the next day phase.

Soneji's plan is to throw Elochin under the bus, call out Ika as the seemer because he knows that is the case, and try to mislynch chaindeath for the win. Will you guys listen to me this time and lynch correctly?

Re: [DAY 12] Turf Wars: Battle of the Hosts
As a prisoner I cannot say who 126 is, but there are only two options. If it's the town option, then we need to hear him/her out.
Re: [DAY 12] Turf Wars: Battle of the Hosts
Again, I am waiting on the host's to let me know how much of my notes I can reveal (arrival times for instance). My notes show at least minimal participation in a couple of challenges, though I cannot speak to their participation in the Day 9 or Day 11 challenge, as they were not grouped with me.Sloonei wrote:I do not know 126's true identity and at the moment I'm not putting much stock in that post. What can you tell us about 126's behavior in prison?Prisoner 813142 wrote:So shall I halt my re-read if it's all settled? I'd be lying if I said I had plenty of time for it.
Linki: Do 126's assertions give anyone pause? He seems awfully sure of himself.
One thing I can say is that it may be worth going back to Day 5 to see which prisoners were in the initial prison break and which were not. I think 509 (and perhaps the rest of you) might have a little more confidence in those of us who were around for the first one. I am not sure if I can say any more on that without getting myself "modkilled."

Re: [DAY 12] Turf Wars: Battle of the Hosts
Silverwolf once said she knew ika was the seemer for "reasons". I thought this might indicate that she was the stool pigeon. She didn't initially jump on him being the seemer which would confuse me if she has his fake role -- but Soneji didn't either.

My first thought based on the tone and vocabulary of 126's posts is that they are Silverwolf.

I can't comment. We should be wary of Epi or even ika playing the actor, but not to the point of paranoia.Sloonei wrote:My first thought based on the tone and vocabulary of 126's posts is that they are Silverwolf.
If you're right that 126 is Silverwolf (I offer no opinion on that), then 126 must be taken seriously. If she was the stool pigeon, then Soneji is definitely a cop and all prior town reading is irrelevant.

Re: [DAY 12] Turf Wars: Battle of the Hosts
At the very least it greatly simplifies the matter of reading Soneji. There's no reason to care how town he "looks", because there can be no doubt he wanted to be viewed as the stool pigeon. If that's true, he's good. If Silverwolf was the stool pigeon, then there is no possible town explanation for Soneji's deception and he's a cop.

Prisoner 813142 wrote:Very well. You know the first three challenges, but I'll give the full recap:
Day 2: Everyone had to post at least five times but everyone had to post once before anyone could post a second time and so on. Victory
Day 3: Decoding the secret text with only 4 or 5 letters to guide us. Victory
Day 4: We had to match at least 10 of 15 quotes to the players who said them in the "game thread." Victory
Day 5: Either this or this depending on your musical preference.
Now for the ones you missed out on:
Day 6: Each time someone posted it reset a 30-minute timer. If 30 minutes went by without someone posting, we would fail. Victory
Day 7: Same concept as Day 6, except it was a 10-minute timer. The hosts expected us to concede but we refused to yield and managed to generate almost 2,000 posts in 48 hours, a feat which will not soon be forgotten by those of us who lost sleep over this one. Victory
Day 8: Every player had to post at least five times in a different language. No one could use the same language and English was prohibited. Thanks to two non-participating prisoners who have since been shanked, we lost this very winnable challenge. Failure
Day 9: The prison population was divided into two groups. Group 1 was asked one question at a time. Group 2 started with $500 and had to wager between $0 and $100 on how we thought Group 1 would answer. Purely guesswork and we came up short. Failure
Day 10: The shank poll had to be a unanimous decision and all prisoners had to vote in order to succeed. Prisoner 331347 was gracious enough to vote for himself another prisoner failed to show up and vote. We lost the challenge but 331347 was still shanked. Failure
Day 11: We were all split up into pairs and got to chit-chat for a day. During the night, one player in the pair was asked questions and the other had to guess their answers. The prison population had to average 20 out of 25 questions correct to win. I was pleasantly surprised to see us win that one, bringing us here today. Victory
Well done partner.
I wish I could have been more helpful for the high-posting challenges on Days 6 & 7, but I had extremely limited access.

I agree, that's why I was offering an alternate scenario for you.Prisoner 509378 wrote:If chaindeath is not a cop, then Elohcin and Soneji must be. It works in any order. If you think one possibility is more likely than the others, then by all means share your rationale.Prisoner 483934 wrote:Well if chaindeath is not a cop, then Elohcin or Soneji must be, right?Prisoner 509378 wrote:I understand you 413.

Who would we all prefer to lynch between Elohcin and chaindeath? Even if soneji is a cop, one of those other two has to also be a cop.

Re: [DAY 12] Turf Wars: Battle of the Hosts
I'm voting for Elohcin because y'all seem pretty positive.
I don't know much about Soneji, but I wouldn't mind lynching him.
I don't want to lynch Prisoner 509, because that seems fruitless.
I'd buy chaindeath a drink for making it to Day 12 alive in his first game back in 3 years.
I would make friends with Sloonei and Turnip Head because they are fun folks.

Re: [DAY 12] Turf Wars: Battle of the Hosts
With most players that would be a decent reason, but given their relationship I don't think it is, especially because she was so insistent about it. Silverwolf and ika have proven themselves to be extremely insistent defenders of each other in multiple games, and while you could (and they often have) make the argument that their experience with each other helps back up their defense, I think their love clouds their ability to be objective with reading each other. Not a slight to them whatsoever, I'm just saying that I would take their reads of each other (and this includes role speculation) with a grain of salt at best.Prisoner 509378 wrote:That alone is a decent reason.

If we're sure that Elohcin is police, I say we lynch her. Here's why:Sloonei wrote:Who would we all prefer to lynch between Elohcin and chaindeath? Even if soneji is a cop, one of those other two has to also be a cop.
At this point, the double-arrest is effectively off the table. If, as is speculated by some, that Turnip Head and Sloonei are the dons, then there would only be three players remaining after the lynch that can be arrested: chaindeath, Prisoner 509378, and Soneji. One of them is the cop, so pulling a double-arrest will single them out. Now, if they HAVE to put in the double-arrest request, then there's a chance you folks will catch a lucky break and have the final cop handed to you on a "silver platter." If the Chief does not HAVE to place a double-request, then they won't for that very reason.
If it's chaindeath of Soneji, then that means that Prisoner 509378 is the only candidate for their arrest tonight. Are there any protection powers or team kill powers believed to still be in existence to protect 509? If so, you'll all (excepting Elohcin) still be around tomorrow to continue on with this discussion.
