Imma be 100% honest though I completely forgot about the game till a customer bought mafia 2 a few minutes ago so we're all just lucky I'm here at all o_o

[Kryllian]

Unvote
Vote Catta

That should be 5 so unless someone switches off Catta or Lora comes in and votes for anyone other than Catta that should secure it at day end.

[Virothe]

Yay! We did it, and iiiiiiiiiiiiiiii helped!

Day 1 is officially over

As the members of the soiree talked about their alibis and locations during the time Mr. Boddy and Mr. Meadow-Brook were murdered one person's testimony never stood up. Poor Mr. Green kept on saying he was in the Library reading a book with Yvette. Unfortunately Yvette had gone missing and no one could find her. He kept on insisting "I didn't do it!" but it wasn't enough to convince the people. Someone knocked hit him on the head with the wrench knocking him unconscious. They then locked him in the study.

Shameless unrequested bump with hours until dawn totally not for subscribing to thread.

After locking Mr. Green in the study all the guests decided it would be wise to split up! Everyone split up into groups of 2 to look around for more clues. Shortly after everyone began to split up the lights suddenly turned off. What comes next is a piercing scream, a gun shot, and finally a loud thud. When the lights turn back on and everyone gathers at the main floor again and what is seen is shocking. Firstly the door to the study is open and Mr. Green was stabbed through the heart. Next people see the chandelier barely hanging on and then falling right behind Colonel Mustard scaring him to near death. Finally they see poor Lady Lavender having her had bashed in by what appears to be a blunt object.

dupti playing Lady Lavender - VT has been killed by a blunt weapon

You are Lady Lavender. You are the "local" herbalist in this group of people. Some believe you poisoned your late husband but you know it was a tragic accident that occurred. You felt honored to be invited to the soiree but you do wonder why since you usually avoid these type of things. But you could never refuse because that would just be ill mannered!

Role: Vanilla Townie

Action: Your vote is your only weapon.

Win Condition: You win when all threats to the town have been eliminated.

Day 2 deadline is December 7th at 4:30pm EST (9:30pm GMT)

With 8 players alive it takes 5 for a majority lynch.

[Xanjori]

FoS: Danner

He basically killed the cop yesterday, what better reasoning do you need to murd....lynch someone?

Also I was going to vote Danner, then I realised there is only about 3 people playing this game and scum could rush a majority.

[Largehorn]

then I realised there is only about 3 people playing this game and scum could rush a majority.

Thank god for Modded Majority...

Though that didn't seem to help with yesterday.

Kryllian, Virothe, and Danner are who finally decided to push it the lynch home. My problem though is we know that it wasn't to save a scum buddy...

I still think it would be really odd if between the five people on that wagon though at least 1 of them wasn't scum. But I agree with you. I'm going to hold off on my vote for now.

FOS Kryllian, Danner, and Virothe

I think these three have the higher chance of being scum but Graeham is still a definite possibility as well. Same with Xan but a D1 Catta vote from him... isn't alignment indicative. It's like a D1 Virothe vote from Robo, Robo vote from Virothe, or hell a Xan vote from Catta.

- - - Updated - - -

I wonder how much the RP matters. It would appear that the "lynch" target was also killed but that could really just be flavor.

The reason I mention it though is because "death signatures" are a big part of Clue. I just wonder if they are going to really matter.

For example, "blunt weapons" include the candlestick, wrench, and lead pipe (god I hope I'm not forgetting one) but there is only one "stabbing" weapon and one gun.

Though to be honest, I'm a little surprised we aren't stringing up the person who gets lynched with the rope.

[Kryllian]

You are completely correct to throw out a FOS on me. I started a post proposing that we go for a no-lynch due to the small size of the game but backed off on that idea because a no-lynch benefits scum as much as a bad lynch. I then panicked and did what I could to secure a lynch but this is the exact scenario I was afraid would happen with taking out a TPR and I do take blame for suggesting it.

At the same time I think we are getting more information from this bad lynch than we would have from a no-lynch. I also believe someone was just saying the games lately have been a "follow the cop" so I guess we are going to have to work for a town win harder than normal.

[Danner]

Well, that was a frickin' disaster.

I will agree I got the cop killed by taking initiative. No denying that.
But if you (Xanjori) want to imply this was some sort of nefarious plan, then you better rethink.

As for the RP, this is very likely from this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uIUCcORbMvg&t=12s

Not really sure why dupti was NK'ed though. We now know he was town, but had he been alive and unflipped I would certainly have tried to get him lynched for being the alternative train - way more so than any of us causing catta's lynch. If dupti had flipped scum there would obviously be scum on the last minute catta lynch, and I would happily have lynched either kryllian or virothe here (and I suspect they would also want to lynch me). The kill kinda killed that angle of suspicion - and I do not see why scum would want to do that. Killing dupti removed some perfectly good suspicion. I have no reason to suspect Virothe or Kryllian are scum right now. In fact, this kill kinda stinks for that reason.

IMO: Either the kill was done by someone completely oblivious to this line of reasoning. Or someone was trying to set someone else up by killing dupti. I'm honestly leaning towards the latter.

[Xanjori]

No no Danner, let's not mess around here, your number's up, the games done, your cover's blown, you're up a creek without a paddle, you won't be back, insert more catch phrases here.

[Graeham]

I'm tired but haven't slept yet so I'll be brief. Apologies in advance if I don't make much sense. I don't understand why Dupti was such a target of interest for much of yesterday - let alone why he was killed last night. I can only assume somebody had it out for him...but then again maybe it's just a matter of people not really being engaged in the game. We're only on the third page and even D1 didn't have much in the way of fluff or discussion.

Ideally Catta should have claimed yesterday in an effort to save himself...or at least hinted that he was a valuable TPR. We shouldn't be losing a Cop on D1 to a lynch - and he should have had the sense to realise that he was at risk of being lynched due to his inactivity. With that said, however, Lora served as a viable alternative yet ended up cruising along relatively unscathed.

I'm not entirely sure what to make of that - but I can't say I like it. Hopefully Lora will show up today though. If not it's going to be a major issue moving forward.

[Crackleslap]

Lmao Cop dead. We're not guchi. Who's trail was dupti on.

[Danner]

No no Danner, let's not mess around here, your number's up, the games done, your cover's blown, you're up a creek without a paddle, you won't be back, insert more catch phrases here.

Not sure if serious.png

[Graeham]

Vote: Lora

Perhaps a vote will serve to draw him out. As it stands I'm not keen on lynching anyone who is actually here given how quiet the game actually is. I'm willing to consider other targets but for now I'll stick my vote here.

[Danner]

I'll join you on that, Graeham. To make something happen.

vote: Lora

[Largehorn]

Alright... finally out of that stupid surprise morning meeting >.>

Not a lot has happened since I last posted.

Danner, I'm not sure I can agree with treating Virothe and Kryllian as town because Dupti flipped town as well. Here of late nothing says "free" town points than making sure a lynch goes through on D1. As such one of the three of you is pretty likely to be scum.

Which is why though I can agree with wanting to make sure the game stays interesting (and therefore lynching somone who hasn't posted), I can't help but think we're just kicking the can down the road. It seems like a bit of a wasted day. So as long as we are only pushing on @Lora to make sure he shows up eventually, I guess I can be okay with it. This had just better not turn into who we actually lynch.

Since we have at least 3 more informative targets we could be going after.

[Danner]

Danner, I'm not sure I can agree with treating Virothe and Kryllian as town because Dupti flipped town as well. Here of late nothing says "free" town points than making sure a lynch goes through on D1. As such one of the three of you is pretty likely to be scum.

In any group of three, there is likely to be a scum given our rule of 1/3. It's not telling much.
I'm not treating either as town. I just won't read them as possible scum for lynching Catta. Big difference.

Now, had dupti been alive and un-flipped, I would most certainly been thinking in those angles. That one or both are scum, and protecting against the lynch on scum-dupti. I would have pushed for a lynch on dupti to make sure of that.

Which is why the NK on dupti is so weird. It gave us information that this was not the right angle of thinking, by flipping the person at least I wanted to know the role of the most. I don't see how that move would benefit a scumteam.

Both Kryllian and Virothe can be scum for other reasons though. I mean - since a scumteam would know that neither Catta nor Dupti were on their team, their best interest was to lynch either, rather than nobody. I just can't separate that desire from the generic "let's not idle to a loss" desire that should govern everyone's play. As such, I cannot use the actions of Kryllian or Virothe for any reads.

What I can use for reads is the dupti kill. That kill is as I said - weird. I postulate that it is done either by a scumteam that didn't consider it much - probably due to not paying much attention. Or by someone trying to set up someone. I'm not sure who exactly, but I have a stronger feeling this is the right answer.

In the meantime - I'm joining the train on Lora. Yes, it is kicking the can of whether Kryllian or Virothe are scum down the road. But I do not think a Lora lynch is worthless.
