[Mafia] Scarlet Hand Finale

I didn't mean to have them "do my bidding". I was just thinking how nice it would be to have someone other than me know I was town after the last couple of fairly dispiriting days of watching Nictis scum read me over nothing and Rosen enthusiastically "yes and"ing all his reads.

Sorry if I offended.
You've already claimed to have a perfect way to prove that you are town tonight.

The fact you are trying to worm your way out of doing it is not helping me continue to believe you are town.

I'm not trying to worm out of it. I didn't say "instead of using my kill".

I am being scum read for hunting a potential serial killer, hammering scum, and now for inviting investigation.
 
For posterity's sake, here is what meso claimed:
It's a weird role. I'm [Vashek the Mad Alchemist] Basically I have a whole bunch of 1 shot powers. And on of them is vig. ( That's how I knew the color a town vig kill would be @Nictis). I had healing potion (one shot doc) I already used. I have a sleeping potion (one shot roleblock) another I want to keep under my hat. And I have a one shot kill that results in [Treacherously Poisoned] as the kill flavor.

(The color didn't come through when I copy pasted. If I picked the wrong one, it isn't alignment indicative. Let's not have another argument over colors).

I know I am dead either way, but I would rather cost scum a nightkill than town a Lynch. I screwed up one power already, and I may not get a chance to use the others, but I would like to not be an active detriment to town.

He also claimed Nictis's scum kill color was actually the town vig color despite ondine at least serving as an example of the opposite, and their flavor is "Treacherously Poisoned" which I would generally associate more with someone betraying Town than someone helping Town. I would also technically associate poison with a Poisoner, but that doesn't mean anything since Poisoner seems to be a fairly rare role.
 
I would imagine it is because they are one of the higher scum reads in the thread, to the point they are the current lynch vote. That said, you are correct that it is not a good play to publicly direct Town's role movements.
Thanks for the reminder.

Actually he was claiming that the ondine kill color was more likely to be an SK kill, he never claimed that my death was caused by Town.

I didn't know this was a standard role. That's a lot less arbitrary than I thought.

I don't think Nictis had a kill color. I tagged Nictis because he asked before why I assumed a vig would have a town kill color. This was why, because mine does. But apparently white is the ghost kill color.

Which, come to think of it, must mean ondine was killed by Nanook, right? Because the other ghosts are all still present.
If you do the kill then that would be a waste of a cop action. Surely you realize that?
Yes, I do. I shouldn't have posted it. I was just sort of amused at the idea of having someone mechanically confirm my role after bashing my head into a wall trying to dislodge scum reads from two experienced players that everyone else seemed happy to go along with.

Mysterious possible cop, do not investigate me, as it will be a waste of time.

(Now to see how long it takes before someone makes a scum read out of that.)

Apologies for misinterpreting your comment then.

Likely, though not confirmed seeing as our confirmed Town vig is one. I postulated a bit on it earlier
So we know that ondine's white kill made him disappear, and it's possible that Nanook might have disappeared from similar reasons if he was the cause of the trampling of ondine, so what would happen to Vanilla should they die? Would Vanilla have a timer or would they just disappear?

Are we not at EoD?

(Not that that would be good for me.)
Reread the kill. The Day was extended by 24 hours.

That is my current assumption, but I am not putting too much stock in it, as GMs can and do reuse colors to seed confusion at times.

Right now I'd like to ask @Nictis and @QTesseract if they have any particular angles they would like to pursue.

Otherwise I'll just go back to my previous low activity lynch.

[x] lynch UnderlingMaster

Might as well. @UnderlingMaster warning notification.

Day was extended 24 hours when Ondine killed Rosen. Fairly standard for day powers that change the board makeup like that.
 
No worries, we've got a full day. I'll be interested to see what you think though. Something feels off about him, but I felt the same about you so I'm ignoring that feeling.
 
I am up at 5am, sadly, so let's read the last several hours.

Rosen was one of my highest town reads, shows what I know

I'm somewhat concerned we have two scum souls that can jump on the bandwagon, we should do a non-official vote then form an overwhelming majority with the person we settle on.
 
I'm pretty tired at the moment, but I would like to look into Wiadi a good bit. Just easily distracted right now and might be taking a nap shortly.

That's only dangerous in Mylo or Lylo. Right now living outnumber scum 10-3 (probably). And its 12-5 if you include the present souls.

Yeah but if there's a close vote split at EoD, then the two Scum souls in particular could swing it one way or the other without looking any scummier than they obviously already do. Hence the argument that we should use an unofficial vote to decide our lynch for the day and then all vote that person to prevent Scum from having an opening to fuck things up.

Those scenarios are contradictory, though? One requires we be split enough in desire for them to tip it, while the other we have a majority.

Frankly this sounds like a way for scum to hide jumping into a lynch rather than the other way around.
 
The obvious answer is to just stay 3 votes away from the hammer, so the two known scum can't do it. Which we tend to do anyway to prevent mistakes.

...what?

Okay, let me lay this out with a specific example. Say we have, out of the 15 votes that aren't Scum Souls, 7 on player A and 8 on player B. At this point, the 2 Scum Souls can decide if they want Player A or Player B to die, and unlike with living Scum they have no real incentive to the contrary (since they're already revealed). In this scenario, there is a majority for Player B, so if we hold an unofficial vote in advance then we can just collectively agree to abide by its results and all vote Player B even if we were previously on the player A vote. At that point we hammer Player B and there's nothing the Scum Souls can do about it.

Does that clarify my point?

I understood the point. I'm saying that isn't gonna work. Because you still have a 7-8 split and are relying on the 7 not thinking the 8 are making a really bad decision and ignoring the majority. Consider the end of D2 when QT for example was willing to No Lynch against their better judgment just to keep Nictis alive.

The idea would be that we all precommit to respecting the outcome of the unofficial vote before knowing what it'll be. The only difference between the real vote and the unofficial one would be that the unofficial one (a) excludes Scum Souls and (b) effectively shortens the day length by whatever margin we deem necessary to enact the result. If one of the Town Souls wants to volunteer for it, we could have everyone proxy their votes to said Soul, who would then administer the final vote - thereby reducing time requirements and avoiding the problem of having people offline at EoD.

So like, I think shortening EoD by 15 minutes or whatever is worth locking conf!Scum out of influencing the vote.

We can't just all vote for ourselves like in other versions, since we can't expect scum souls to abide by that, so our omly option is a bw with more than two votes difference
