Night 8: The Lion Labyrinth

Elohcin has been lynched. She was Zelda.

The eighth labyrinth is the Lion Temple. It sprawls outward like a kingly mane.

The Old Man of the Lion Labyrinth speaks:

“Before this ancient place was built, one hundred lions dwelled here. These lions were logical beasts. They ate plants that used to grow here, but what they really wanted was gazelle.

“However, in this place, there is was only one gazelle, and it was a magical one. The lions knew that if any one of them should eat the gazelle, the partaker would itself transform into a magical gazelle, who might in turn be hunted by members of its pride.

“One day, one of the lions was close to the gazelle, and the opportunity to consume the graceful beast was within its grasp. But it knew that if it transformed into a gazelle, it would not be able to escape another lion that decided to eat it.

“What happened? Ten rupees to anyone who PMs the logical answer, and a bonus four rupees if you can explain your answer.”

It is now Night 8. You have 23 hours to send in your PMs.

[thellama73]

Oh yeah.

[Snow Dog]

Thank fuck for that!

Well played Elo but you should have gone a while ago.

[Marmot]

He should answer.

Thank you Snowy.

Checking in to see the result. Good result. RIP Eloh.

I forgot to say so, but I thought he should have answered your question, and still can.

[Russtifinko]

Finally. Geez. That was well-played, Elo.

[Epignosis]

If you selected "Lion" on Day 0, you may receive a hint.

[Elohcin]

bye all! t'was fun.

[nijuukyugou]

Bye bye, Princess Eloh!

[Made]

<3 Eloh

[Made]

Also, I never switched my vote back apparently. my bad.

[Snow Dog]

MetalMarsh, Made or Russti?

[Snow Dog]

Almighty Host.

Would you put the question "Who killed Zeek and Bass?" as a lynch poll question if no one in that poll had done it( or as part of a team)?

[Snow Dog]

In other words would the question remain the same with no mafia in the poll.

[Epignosis]

The question is just filler and therefore meaningless, so yes.

[Snow Dog]

OK. Thanks.

So everyone forget my MM, made or Russ remark above.

[Snow Dog]

Well, don't disregard it completely. Depends on what we think are the chances that someone from Hyrule did enter the competition for the Triforce piece.

[Snow Dog]

Does anyone think that little altercation that elo had with Made was set up? Was it distancing?

[thellama73]

I've been confused by Made's behavior all game. It wouldn't surprise me.

I've been looking for clues in the polls thread but unfortunately it hasn't been updated by our genial host for a while.

I think Russti is in the clear though.

[Epignosis]

Sorry that I neglected to post the Day 7 poll. I was in a hurry and deleted the poll before I copied and pasted it.

[Marmot]

I've been confused by Made's behavior all game. It wouldn't surprise me.

The fact that she also quit Monopoly Mafia makes me think otherwise.

[Marmot]

I'm definitely voting for llama tomorrow though based on Eloh's read of him.

I doubt that Made is Hyrulian. I'm a bit torn between ninja and Snow Dog from trying to sort out Eloh's thoughts. My own read has been civ on Snow Dog, which would leave ninja as the other option. Thoughts Russti?

Okay, so I did my usual speed game read through. Here you go...

Dom - At first he was contrary in a playful way. Next was talked about not having much time/zeal for Mafia right now. Ten he gives SD the stink eye for talking about posting puzzle answers in the thread. He throws out suspicions here and there, but doesn't say anything to back up his suspicions. His voting record: no votes to the civs who have been lynched.

Fingersplints - She's been helpful to other players. She has explaind her suspicions. Nothing pings me about her.

Made - Replaced in, of course. He's invested, talkative which is good, but I feel he's been a bit cocky in feeling like he is completely trusted b/c he was replaced. He is one of my top suspects for this behavior alone.

Metalmarsh - seems level-headed, active and helpful.

Mr Rearranger - I'm not sure what to think after rereading him. He's hard to read...could be affiliated with either IMO.

Niju - She doesn't post much, but her posts seems to be meaningful/helpful. She is hard to read too.

Russ - He seems to have a lot of helpful things to say. He seems to be trying and coming up with suspicions, however I am not sure that his suspicions have much weight. So, I am pinged by that.

Snow Dog - Just overall seems like he is playing a pretty civ game.

Llama - I remember reading that some thought he wasn't posting as much as usual. May be true, but the page numbers seem to suggest he is about average for this game. He had four pages of posts like several other players. Anyway...his posts are helpful and he voices suspicions.

Nothing else to say, unfortunately. Rereading each player didn't really bring about any new pings, but there you go. Maybe you will be encouraged to do your own read through and post on everyone. I know many of us are getting discouraged by lynch results.

[Marmot]

Oops, I meant to post this first.


I've returned to my previous opinion on Russti. I'm confident he is civ. Eloh voted him on consecutive days, including during the tie between Dom and Russti. Considering that Eloh (presumably) didn't know what would happen in a tie, he must be civ.

[Snow Dog]

OK. That's fair enough. Thanks for that info. Did she quit due to Made or another player?

This is why I said Russti is in the clear.

I am surprised you doubt me as civ though. Who are we lynching tomorrow?

I was just about to ask this. Made suggested Russ, Russ suggested nijuu. I haven't decided which one I feel worse about yet.

It doesn't make sense for Russ to be bad imo. I think most will suggest you.

[thellama73]

I think most will suggest you.

Well I never!

I said that Eloh's thoughts on you and bloops are equal in my mind. The difference was that my own read of you is civ.

Elo was bad. How can you trust her thoughts on anyone?

Read her Monopoly posts. No upset there so I have no idea what you are driving at.

Her thoughts should still be dissected, especially something like this. If she still has two teammates alive, we need to look through her interactions and reads on everyone, because that can support any theories we have already. For example, she gave a relatively lengthy analysis on llama without really actually saying much. Her read on ninja was very noncommital, but so was her read on you. She said Russti could be bad, which was mainly for consistency since she's suspected him before and voted him twice. I don't think he's bad, nor does anyone else to my knowledge.

Linki: I'm saying that I don't think she's distancing with Made in this game. Eloh would not 'fake' contacting a mod to make a teammate look more civ. I might be wrong, but I'm pretty sure Eloh had been pushing for a Made lynch since before we (except Made) decided she was bad.

[Made]

I doubt that Made is Hyrulian. I'm a bit torn between ninja and Snow Dog from trying to sort out Eloh's thoughts.

Ditto, As of recent i'm reading snow as more civvie, and Ninja as more off mafia-e. I think the best place to look would be to do further analysis on the night Liz died. It's the first time Ninja really stepped up, and everything about that lynch really pinged me. With MR as civvie, a BaddieBloops seems incredibly plausible more so than a snowie baddie at this point anyways...

So
1.Llama
2. Bloops
3. Snow
for me atm.

Death Mountain

By Day 9, Ganon’s forces were starving and exhausted. Until the day before, Hyrule had outwitted and outfought them. Having returned to Death Mountain to regroup, a strange feast surprised them: Set before them was succulent red meat. Giving into hunger, they began to devour the unexpected meal.

A flash of light in the shape of a sword shot forth and took Metalmarsh89 out of existence. His remaining supper fell to the ground.

“What are you doing fools?” cried Russtifinko. “We have work to do!”

“Care for a little music with your dinner, Snow Dog?” asked a voice.

Snow Dog looked behind him and saw thellama73 with a recorder.

“No!” Snow Dog cried, but as the music whistled through the air, he began to shrink until he was no more. Only a red prism remained.

“I’ll take that, Digdogger,” the Old Man said. “With the three Triforces in our possession, we can do this:”

The colors green, red, and blue swirled together and created a rift in the ground. Arising on a pedestal was a familiar Princess.

“It feels good to be back,” Elohcin said.

“Not you!” cried Made.

The magic of the Triforce did not bring Zelda back unarmed. With her silver bow, she pierced Made’s eye.

Then nijuukyugou stepped out of the shadows and addressed Russtifinko. “We know who you are, Ganon. Your reign of terror has ended!”

“Link!”

Game Over.

Hyrule has won!

Congratulations to nijuukyugou, Elohcin, and thellama73!

Secrets

If Link receives no vote during the Day, he can use his sword to fire at and eliminate an enemy at Night.

Zelda uses her wisdom to role check each Night.

If the Old Man is alive by Night 2, Link can kill freely if he has no more than 1 vote. If the Old Man is alive by Night 4, Link can kill freely if he has no more than 2 votes. And so on.

Zola has no use for rupees, so you may try to bribe someone to vote the way you want with the rupees you earn. Your target does not have to accept your bribe. If a bribe is accepted but not honored, Zola kills the target.
You win by eliminating Link and the Overworld minions and surviving.


The Triforce of Wisdom: Learn one secret.
The Triforce of Power: Force someone's vote the next Day.
The Triforce of Courage: Protect someone from death that Night (other than yourself).

[Made]

But I was Guardian?

[Marmot]

Good game everyone. Too little too late it seems.

That was fun though.

[Marmot]

I am confused, what was Snow Dog killed with?

[Made]

Probably my best performance yet, and because i switched me vote i still haven't voted to kill a mafia, GG All.

[Marmot]

But I was Guardian?

The first or second time?

[Made]

But I was Guardian?

The first or second time?

The second time, and so were you, and so was snow?

[nijuukyugou]

Oh yes

[Made]

Did baddie have a vote upgrade that would make the game unwinnable?

[Marmot]

llama, I applaud your efforts. I don't know if it was a difference-maker or not, but you were able to convince Snow Dog to switch his vote to MR on Day 7.

I still knew you were bad though.

[Made]

MM, MR. where your votes switched to vote for Liz?

[Elohcin]

Snow, I would have stayed alive if you hadn't made me vote myself

It was good fun guys!

[LizKeen]

Good job mafia! I was sure llama was good early on mostly because we thought alike. And I thought made was probably Zola. I'd have never figured it out.

[Marmot]

MM, MR. where your votes switched to vote for Liz?

Mine was never switched to my knowledge.

The night that I became Patra, Ganon's seventh guardian, was the night I realized Russti had to be civ. I don't know if he knew I was the one who was upgraded, but I was certain he was Ganon, or at least he was on his team somewhere. I'm surprised no one called me for backpedalling on that one.

Also, I rolechecked MR on Night 6, but for some reason it failed. Anyone know why?



Linki: I also thought Made was Zola but I realized there was no point lynching him with such low civvie numbers, so I left it alone.

[Marmot]

Snow, I would have stayed alive if you hadn't made me vote myself

It was good fun guys!

That's so awesome.

By the way, did you actually buy a bomb when I suspected you did or not?
