Roleplay
Located on a lonely island stands the once majestic Castle Varen. The now decrepit Castle and untame landscape is a desired location for Historians and Thrill Seekers alike. With 42 deaths and 167 disappearances in the past 116 years, Castle Varen has built quite the reputation for itself: It's cursed. Everyone believes that the curse started after the disappearance of Lady Varen. Rumor has it that she's vanished from the island hours after having her portrait painted; some say that she was murdered by her Husband, her soul cursing the Island and the Portrait. Others, however, tell a story of how the Varen family is a Cult, converting and murderering their visitors.
Whatever the case may be, the descendants of Lady and Lord Varen held a contest, giving 17 winners an invitation to spend a night at the Castle.

The date came, and as the last lucky winner disembarked the Ferry, it left. All 17 of them were trapped on the Island until the next Ferry, tomorrow morning. Lady Varen greeted the winners and showed them inside.

"As you can see, we haven't had any visitors in a while", said Lady Varen as she attempted to explain the condition of the Castle. As dust covered everything, it was apparent no one had cleaned in several years. "I regret to inform you that Lord Varen is sick in his chamber, and will not be joining us this evening."

She showed everyone to their rooms, and let them unpack.

"Meet in the great hall at 8, and we will begin our tour." stated Lady Varen, as she retreated to her chambers.



The sound of the grandfather clock echoed throughout the Great Hall as it reached 8 o'clock. With Lady Varen no where to be seen, everyone used this time to introduce themselves.
"Why are there 21 of us?", someone asked. "I thought there were only 17 winners."
Everyone looked around, and realized it was true. No one was able to determine who wasn't on the ferry with them. Some faces seemed familiar to them, but they didn't recognize a majority of these people. With the sudden appearance of these new strangers, everyone was on edge.

"It's just a gimic! All of this is probably orchestrated for our entertainment. I wouldn't be surprised if actors were hired to hide among us!", someone proclaimed. "While we're waiting, we might as well look around."

Immediately after they started to look around, someone let out a scream. Behind the couch was the body of Captain François Dubonais. He appeared to have been strangled.

"What the hell! I was just talking to him 5 minutes ago! What the hell!! How is this possible?!" someone yelled from the crowd.
"Who would do this!?" shouted another.

After these words were shouted, people started accusing others of being the likely killer. It was obvious that it was someone who was in the room with them.

Most people felt like they couldn't trust anybody, while some were still assuming that it was all just a show.

With 20 people remaining, it only took 11 votes to lynch.



The panic caused by Captain François Dubonais' death subsided, and everyone decided to let things go for the time being.

"I have to get out of here." someone said "I know I can't leave this island, but at least I can still get the hell away from everyone."
"I think some of us should go look for Lady Varen, and make sure something hasn't happened to her.." said another.

No one replied.

They all looked at one another and realized that their lives were in jeopardy as long as the killer was still among them. One by one, the winners left the Great Hall on their own. Some had thoughts of using this time to organize their thoughts, while others decided to look deeper into the death of Captain François Dubonais.



Not long after everyone went their own way, a scream echoed through the castle once again. Silence fell over castle as everyone was trying to hear what was going on.

*BANG*

Gunshot rang through the corridors. Another scream. Everyone started running back to the Grand Hall in hopes to find others. Surprisingly, 18 of them returned.

"Was that a gun?! Is everyone OK?" someone asked.

"No.. We're not." explained an older man. "It's Laura.. Laura Vanderbooben. She's dead. We just found her with a bullet in her head.."

"Has.. Has anyone seen Ricky Spanish?" asked a girl. "I had been hoping he'd be here already."

"Ricky Spanish? The guy with the pony tail?" someone questioned, "Yea... Yea, I saw him in the Dining Hall. He was just.. sitting there. He just seemed to be frozen in that position. It was as if... as if he was scared to death. I don't want to be here anymore..."

"And we're the winners?"

With 18 people alive, it took 10 votes to lynch!



"So, what's the story with that guy?" someone asked, referencing Tom Yabo.
"No one really knows, we rarely ever see him talking to anybody. He just lurks in the corner." replied another.
"Well, I don't think it. It's weird." said Lestat de Lioncourt.

The same thought was ran through all their heads. They all grabbed Tom Yabo, and held him down. Lestat de Lioncourt grabbed a candlestick and repeatedly struck Tom Yabo in the head until he no longer struggled. Tom Yabo was dead. They searched his body and found a pair a hand cuffs. He was an Interrogator.

Everyone needed time to process the murder of Tom Yabo.
"We will meet back here if any happens." said someone. "Don't be gone for too long."
Some people went off alone, while others went off in pairs.



It was only about twenty minutes before a man's scream was heard, followed by a gunshot on the other side of the castle.

"That scream sounded like it was just down the hall!" said a Thrill Seeker to another.

The two ran towards the noise, and found Rashid sitting in the corner of his bedroom. He had his arms propped up, shielding his face. Rigor mortis had already mysteriously set in.

"This is just like Ricky Spanish. It looks like he was scared to death." the Thrill Seeker pointed out. "Search him, maybe he has something useful."

They started sifting through his pockets, and pulled out his wallet.

"What is this? An FBI badge? What's the FBI doing here?" questioned one.
"I don't know, but a dead Fed just makes me feel worse about this whole situation.." the other replied.

They gathered their belongings, and started heading back to the Great Hall.


The others had already arrived, heading straight there after hearing the scream.

"15? Where's Rashid and Tommy Calhoun?" someone asked.
"We found Rashid. He was all messed up, just like Ricky Spanish. We found out he was in the FBI.." replied the Thrill Seeker.
"And Tommy Calhoun?" he asked.
"No idea. We didn't see him."

The group then notices a girl weeping in the corner.

"Hey, You!" shouted the Thrill Seeker.
The girl looked up.
"Yea. Why are you crying? Did you see what happened to Tommy Calhoun?"
The girl swallowed hard, and tried to get the words out. "They.. They took him. They said if I followed they'd kill me, too. They shot him.. They shot him right in the head. There was nothing I could do..."
" 'They'? " he replied.

The group members looked around at each other, and felt more uneasy with each passing minute. They all knew that they needed to find out who was responsible for all this, and finally put a stop to them.



"Why are you always around when people mysteriously die?!" shouted someone at Roland Chang, pushing him into the fireplace mantle.

"It's not me, you got the wrong guy!" shouted Roland Chang.

And at that moment, Roland Chang quickly reached for the fire poker. Smoke erupted from his hand once he had made contact with the iron fire poker. He immediately released it, and collapsed to the ground in pain.

"Please don't hurt me! Please! I wasn't in control of my own body!" pleaded Roland Chang as he cowered on the ground.

"I don't buy this shit." Max Jets said to the rest of the group. "We need to end this before he kills us."

He picked up the fire poker and jabbed it into Roland Chang's chest. Roland Chang blacked out and didn't wake up. He was dead. Roland's last words had shaken up the group. Was Roland Chang really possessed by a Ghost?



After everyone parted ways, someone followed Sgt. Pepper into the library and hid behind a wall. Sgt. Pepper pulled on a book, revealing a secret staircase. The mysterious person hurried down the steps after him.

"What the hell are you doing down here? How'd you find this place!?" the man questioned Sgt. Pepper.
"What? Who? I swear, I just stumbled across this place. I'm trying to help you!" replied Sgt. Pepper.
"Just shut up. You've been keeping secrets from all of us, and you expect me to believe you now?" he replied.

He pulled out a gun and pointed it at Sgt. Pepper.

"Surprise asshole." he said, as he pulled back the trigger.

*BANG*

Sgt. Pepper crumbled to the ground. He was dead.

Everyone started their way back to the Grand Hall. On his way back, Lestat de Lioncourt heard a click; it sounded as if lock on the room he was walking by unlocked. He slowly opened the door into the dark room. He stood in the doorway and thought he could make out a figure standing in the darkness. He started feeling a cold, numbing sensation run through his body. Lestat de Lioncourt let out a loud scream, but he was dead before it had finished.

Everyone raced back to the Grand Hall after hearing the gunshot, but the door was closed. They tried to push it open, but something was blocking it. They group managed to ram the door open with enough force, and Charles Bronson slide out from behind it. He was already dead.



The group had reached a majority decision to eliminate Martin Sugar. As they started to approach him, he pulled a gun on them.

"Get the fuck away from me, or I'll put a hole in your head!" exclaimed Martin Sugar.

Max Jets quickly lept forward and disarmed Martin Sugar before he could realize what was happening. Max Jets took Martin's gun and pointed it at Martin Sugar while he sat on the ground, pleading for his life. Max Jets tightened his grip.

*BANG*

Martin Sugar laid on the ground, twitching. He was dead.



A wave of calmness fell over the remaining 10 Thrill Seekers following the death of the Art Collector. With him gone, most felt that they were likely to survive until the morning. Before anyone had a chance to fully enjoy this feeling, a laugh echoed through the castle.

"Was that... Lady Varen?" someone asked.

Max Jets began to run towards the direction of the noise, but he suddenly stopped in his tracks.

"What the.. I.. I can't move my legs! What the hell is this?" he shouted.

As the numb feeling moved from legs to his torso, Max Jets quickly drew a gun from his jacket. Everyone attempted to jump out of the way.

*BANG*

The room went silent. A Thrill Seeker peaked from behind the couch, and Max Jets was frozen in place with his gun still extended. They all stood up and regrouped, but Demitri Krotchlikmioff remained motionless on the ground. They both were dead.



Dr Jordan Edilstein revealed himself to be the Banshee, thinking that he was too powerful to be defeated.

"All your souls will soon belong to me..." said Dr Jordan Edilstein
"That voice.. It that Lady Varen?!"

Dr Jordan Edilstein let out a laugh and started dashing towards Elisha Wilkner. Elisha Wilkner found herself unable to run away.

"Someone, stop him!" shouted Elisha.

And just then, Professor Baxter swung the iron fire poker hard, crushing Dr Jordan Edilstein's skull. A dark smoke erupted from the wound, covering the floor. Dr Jordan Edilstein screamed until the smoke ceased, and then he fell limp to the floor. Dr Jordan Edilstein was dead.



The castle felt less threatening following the exorcism of the Banshee, and everyone felt safe enough to rest alone in their rooms. At least until blast from a nearby gunshot shook them all.

*BANG*

Everyone quickly ran to the hallway, and noticed that Ace Chapman was nowhere to be found. They all rushed into his room, noticing a pool of blood seeping out from under the closet door. They opened the closet door and found Ace Chapman. He was dead. In his hands he held an old book. To everyone's horror, the book was filled with symbols written in blood, and pictures of fire and monsters. Some names of fellow Thrill Seekers were written on some of the pages.

"It's probably best that he's dead..." someone said.

They all grabbed their stuff and headed back to the Great Hall.



The Thrill Seekers made it back to the Great Hall, and suspicion immediately fell onto Uncle Kappy. The argument quickly turned into aggression as Uncle Kappy snapped under the pressure.

"Get away from me." said Uncle Kappy, "I didn't do shit."

But it was too late. The group rushed Uncle Kappy and held him down as Professor Baxter retrieved the gun from Max Jets' cold hands. He pointed the gun at Uncle Kappy, and everyone looked away.

*BANG*

Professor Baxter had shot Uncle Kappy in the neck. Uncle Kappy spat up blood while trying to speak. He gripped his neck to try to prevent the bleeding, but it was too late. Uncle Kappy had bled to death.

Feeling that the horror was finally over, the Thrill Seekers began to move the bodies out of the Great Hall. Each going off on their own, carrying the dead with them.



The Thrill Seekers were working on moving the last body when the sound of gunfire rang throughout the castle. Everyone had expected that the violence had finally ended, but now they knew they would never be safe until the were off the island.

They all met up while running down the halls, checking everyone room along the way. However, Pete Pendelman never joined the troupe. Following a blood trail, Elisha Wilkner discovered Pete Pendelman's body stuffed into a kitchen cabinet. He had been shot in the head.

"I thought this shit was over.. Why is this still going on?" questioned Elisha Wilkner.

They all headed back to the Great Hall, all thinking that this would be the last discussion they would have.

Wait a second if we took a ferry here why did we need a captain? Obviously the ferry is going to be back tomorrow and we can leave. I just don't see why we need a dead captain since he obviously wasn't the one steering the ferry.

Concerning the setup, at first glance I would assume we have a number of Doctors and/or bodyguards. The reason I think this is that the only people who can be an investigative role are the Federal Agents, and there are only two of them. Which leads me to my first question for the host: Were the roles completely randomized? Cause if they were, discussing most likely roles is pointless, as the host did not select them.

On Lestat: I'm not really sure what he's up to. My first reaction is Jester, but I'm not 100 percent sure.

I'll answer

1. Neutral wise we will probably have a benign so I am guessing jester/amnesiac. I'm not sure if there is going to be an exec. I think we are going to end up having a cult just because the art collectors are going to have to be against someone major. Then probably a ritual killer for a neutral killing. Jester/Exec Cult LeaderRitual Killer Those are my thoughts on the neutrals atm.

2. I think it was just a troll post or he didn't care when he wrote it because it is late for some people and I'm sure most of the people won't post for a while still.

Right now I'll comment on the federal agents. I am sure that one of them is going to be a sheriff/invest/det/lookout because we need an investigative role. The other I can see being a killing role. If we end up having a blacksmith then maybe I can see the federals being both investigative roles since the blacksmith can hand out guns.

1: Thief (the mod really put effort in that rolecard, so there's a chance he wants someone to play it).
If there's a coroner, then there's a janitor (since this site is pretty strict with setups being standard).
Graverobber (see Thief).
Either Cult, Ritual Killer or Banshee.
A single journalist.
Some protectives.
Many vanillas and probably a blacksmith.

2: Trolls tend to be scum, so yeah. Scummy.

Ace Chapman
July 15th, 2013, 10:07 PM
East coast buddies 4evah! :D tl;dr means "Too long; didn't read". I'm unsure if he was saying this to the host's post about COM claiming to troll, or to the thread in general. He could just be trolling, but as I see it, that post seems very un-Townlike, as the day chat is the Town's most powerful tool. And I am assuming many Citizens as well, since the NK(s) can choose to appear as Citizen, and Godfather appears as Citizen as well, so there would have to be a lot of Citizens for them to hide with. But as the Angry Bird pointed out (Lol I love calling him that), if the host randomized roles, then setup-analysis is screwed. But I highly doubt it, as that could lead to a very imbalanced game.

I also agree with Sholanda's Federal Agent analysis, as it would make the most sense. Not sure about the Neutral analysis; I'll be going over that myself in a minute.

Thomas, why do you assume only 1 Journalist? And what do you think of Edilstein's possible Amnesiac soft-claim?

1) Godfather included, Consort/Consigliere because it's a solid scum role and able to CC strong Town roles, Thief because of setup/Rp, and for the last one, maybe Framer. Host believes Framer is a strong role and in this setup, it has additional abilities to deceive Lookouts/Detectives, instead of just Sheriffs/Invests.

Town is an orgy of possible roles. I would expect the Federal Agent roles to be 1 Killing and 1 Invest, rather than both of the same type. Thrill Seeker is at least 3 citizens for balance. I would be surprised to see less.

Neutral is probably contain a Witch. They're a common role and theres magic in this castle and shit. Exec/Jester/Amnesiac are another common set of roles for Neutrals, not too unbelievable. Last one is a tossup between SK/Arsonist for KPN. While Cult is possible (if it is, I'd say there's no Witch), I prefer to be optimistic and hope it isn't.

2) I get a Town read off of it, as Mafias tend to be more cautious in their posts, and I don't read disrespecting a host's post as cautious.

3) That's not a question.

Ace Chapman
July 15th, 2013, 10:11 PM
Also, there are 3 neutrals; Lord and Lady Varen, and their Groundskeeper. Just a little something to keep in mind when you analyze Neutrals(which I shall go do right now)

Also, what do you think of the possibility that the host included 1 or 2 Blacksmiths and made both Agents Investigative? Possible? Unlikely?

Ace Chapman
July 15th, 2013, 10:12 PM
OH, and on the note of Framer confusing Detectives/Lookouts, and host's belief about Framers, I wouldn't think it unlikely for our Investigative Agent to be one of these roles. (Okay, I'm done. Proceeding with Neutral analysis)

Sholanda Dykes
July 15th, 2013, 10:13 PM
Ok for the mercenaries I believe they will have a consig/consort.
Everyone says thief and it seems very probable the way the set up is made.
I don't think it will be a framer though. I think it might actually be a tailor if we have a grave robber as a neutral.

Tailor makes a citizen look like a vigilante lets just say.
Graverobber robs the corpse. Graverobber is useless for a night. I think janitor/tailor is going to be in game if we have a grave robber as neutral. If grave robber as neutral then I am guessing Amnesiac/Jester then grave robber and then a ritual killer.

Considering we are going to only know for sure we will have 1 invest role, but I think that we are going to have 2 and a blacksmith a framer isn't that helpful in a set up like this. It is very unlikely for them to actually hit a framed target when you have so little invests in the game.

Tommy Calhoun
July 15th, 2013, 10:16 PM
Thomas, why do you assume only 1 Journalist? And what do you think of Edilstein's possible Amnesiac soft-claim?
I was considering a late game with two journalist (either claims or found by invest) and a sheriff; if the sheriff checks one, the other would likely be in the opposite faction, effectively getting one scum while clearing a player.

About the Amnesiac, I'm not sure. Any non-killing/non-cult neutral (besides the Executioner, who is forced to be anti-town) has an equal ammount of power to turn the table as he/she pleases.

Sholanda Dykes
July 15th, 2013, 10:19 PM
Also if anyone is wondering why I think ritual killer here is my reasoning. In a game where we only know for sure we have 1 investigative role then I don't think that we are going to have a banshee who can keep on killing everyone. The 1 confirmed invest role we have needs time to actually get solid leads on the art collectors. The ritual killer gets stronger the longer this goes on, but it helps the invest too since it is less likely he will get hit right away too.

I still think we are going to have a blacksmith over 1 invest and 1 killing. 1 invest role seems very unlikely.

There's definitely a Banshee/Arson as KPN will be way too low without them, imo.


[snip]a framer isn't that helpful in a set up like this. It is very unlikely for them to actually hit a framed target when you have so little invests in the game.

Agreed. So, the general consensus seems to be:

Mafia:
Art Collector
Consort/Consig
Thief/Janitor
Tailor



Town:
Invest/Det/Look/Sher
Invest/Killing(based on presence of Blacksmith in-game)
11 Townies(Largely vanilla, with probably at least 1 blacksmith and 1 Journalist)


Neutral:
Benign(Amnes,Jest,Exe,)
Evil(Witch,Cult,CJ,Graverobber,Ghost)
Killing(RK, Banshee)


Imo, if there isn't a Thief, there'll be a Graverobber and vice versa. If there's only 1 Investigative, I'm thinking RK, as Banshee can pierce all healing under correct circumstances, which would be disastrous for us. If 2 Investigatives, then probability for Banshee increases, although I still doubt it. Ritual Killer seems more likely, as I think Host would want a longer, more satisfying game than Banshee would allow.

(Quick question for host: Assume Art Collector kills a Blacksmith whose LW states who he gave stuff to. Janitor cleans Blacksmith's role and LW. Tailor dresses Blacksmith as Vigilante. Are we notified that the Smith's LW is missing in this scenario? Are we notified of LW missing if Janitor cleans and there is no Tailor? )

And with that, I bid you all adieu, for I must go to bed now :( Good night all.

If there's only 1 Investigative, I'm thinking RK, as Banshee can pierce all healing under correct circumstances, which would be disastrous for us. If 2 Investigatives, then probability for Banshee increases, although I still doubt it. Ritual Killer seems more likely, as I think Host would want a longer, more satisfying game than Banshee would allow.

(Quick question for host: Assume Art Collector kills a Blacksmith whose LW states who he gave stuff to. Janitor cleans Blacksmith's role and LW. Tailor dresses Blacksmith as Vigilante. Are we notified that the Smith's LW is missing in this scenario? Are we notified of LW missing if Janitor cleans and there is no Tailor? )

And with that, I bid you all adieu, for I must go to bed now :( Good night all.

Howdy y'all, just checking in before I leave to go eat.

I find it hilarious that we had 3 separate people post on their main accounts all on day one XD. You think they'd be more careful.

Comments on setup:

I wouldn't be surprised if both fed agents were investigative, one being a sheriff/invest and the other a lookout/detective. After all, the RP has them here to find the Cult and Ritual Killer, not to kill them. This would also make logical room for a Framer in the mercenaries, and a blacksmith among the thrill seekers. There's probably either a janitor or a tailor among the mercenaries, but not both. I'm thinking tailor. Last mercenary could be a thief, or maybe interrogator or consort.

For the neutrals, well, I'm guessing the groundskeeper is a killing, either a Ritual Killer or a Banshee. Lord Varen is probably a Cult Leader, and Lady Varen a Witch.
Actually, that's probably too much power in the neutrals. Perhaps either the groundskeeper or the Lord Varen is some more benign type of neutral instead.

For the thrill seekers: Likely a token protective role or two, doctor/bg. Probably a coroner to counter the janitor/tailor. Already mentioned a blacksmith. At least 4 citizens, perhaps one of which is a "bulletproof". Probably an architect or journalist, not likely but not impossible that there's both.

I'ma go eat now.

15% chance of him being a neutral.
If he's a neutral, there's an 8.3% chance that he's a jester.
So... there's less than 1% chance of he actually being the jester he's playing.

Anywho, onto the analysis.

I think that we have the numbers to have every unique role among the thrill seekers, though I do admit it would be unlikely. Personally I think Journalist is the least likely to have arrived, though I can't tell if the arrivals are randomised.
For the neutrals, thematically it would make sense for Lord and Lady Varen to be roles that aren't conflicting, but again, I can't say about any random element.
For the mercenaries...well now, that one is a more difficult one. There are several roles that could work here, and I'm hesitant to speculate without further information.

Not that I disagree with your list, but what makes you think the only investigative a detective. I just feel like with only a detective as the invest and a Banshee + the art collector the game is going to go by very fast by the time he can actually guess right and get a solid lead. I would substitute the jailor for an investigative role and keep the blacksmith on there. Most likely if there is a jailing role it will be an interrogator.

Only the federal agents can be investigative roles and i think at least 1 of them is a killing role. the lack of investigative roles makes me think that the town has a journalist, architect or both. The detective could be switched out for a sheriff or another investigative role but i only think the town will have a sheriff if the mafia has a framer.

That is an updated look at what I think is more probable.

Thief and Graverobber will probably clash too much so either one or the other. We need a neutral in this setup that can win by other means than just getting to the town to die. Thief and Interrogator are too strong together because they can both end up killing someone by their own means and that could easily screw the town. Tailor versus Janitor and I think tailor is more likely if we have a graverobber in the setup. Consigliere can stay since they either have a consig or a consort for their base mafia role.

Well I see what you mean, but the blacksmith could potentially be the killing role in the set up if they end up being both investigative roles.

No, if the target is cleaned, the town will only be notified that no last will was found.

That's retarded and everyone that thinks it will help is stupid. After night 1 we will have feedback to actually make a decision on some level.

I'm gonna slot you as a bad player for thinking early voting is bad, that my vote was fully random, and that it didn't contribute. I was wasted last night so my posts were very inefficient, but I've come down now so lets realize I am now focused. Sgt. Pepper came back Super Mafia too me last night. I am Mega Sheriff.

I have to agree with Charles on this one. We've milked the roles list for all we can at this stage, and we have a vague idea of what roles are most likely to be in the game. Now's the time to shift our focus onto actual people and continue role speculation tomorrow with more feedback. So with that, I'm gonna go with Charles' pressure vote, as there's no one that particularly strikes me as scum (Other than that Roland Chang character, but we should focus on one suspect at a time)

Baxter seemed to have read through the thread, as he gave an opinion on the roles list that seems to be influenced by the thoughts of other posters. Elisha seems to be one of those "I don't give a crap" people(Proved in above post), and Pete seemed to just pop in to say "I like this post". Not getting a lot off of them at the moment, unless you see something I don't. Only one that I would consider looking into (on the basis of the not commenting on the early vote) would be Baxter, as he seems somewhat intelligent (no offense to Elisha or Pete intended)

Elisha, it isn't necessarily a scum tell, but it lessens communication and prevents maximum knowledge. It is more advantageous to scum.

I think someone's either ignoring my posts or having reading comprehension... I have given you ample reasons as to why RVS voting is good at this stage. No scum would even think about bringing our target to l-1 or even l-2 or 3, because it would be like screaming "HEY GUYS I'M SCUM COME KILL ME!!!" Only thing I agree with you on is the pointlessness of voting someone who isn't here to respond.

Hello, Charles. Care to give thoughts on the recent conversation?

Charles Bronson
July 16th, 2013, 10:22 AM
Well. While Elisha is likely correct that nothing might happen, I note her unwillingness to try to make something happen. Also in relation to Pepper who I find scummy for his post I quoted.

I am ok with changing pressure at this time since Pepper isn't here, but I would enjoy having him walk in flustered at the votes. It is easily the time to draw weak defenses.

Would you consider Elisha's unwillingness a town or scum tell? I have an opinion but don't want to alter your's or anyone else's opinion by stating mine prematurely.

I wish Pepper would get on so we could change to a better target (I'm in agreement with Kappy about Baxter. Very unwilling to vote anyone even when his argument is countered, and vanishes the moment I try to engage him directly)

Uncle Kappy
July 16th, 2013, 10:32 AM
i'm just confused as to why you want everyone to pressure the same person who isn't even here.. do we want to take a chance when scum can so easily swoop in and hammer if you got him to L-1.

You aren't listening. My goal is to pressure vote someone, and to pressure vote someone they need to be voted on a a lot (but still the minority) of people. As stated again, I don't want to go past L-2/L-3, if someone were to hammer that would make them scum.

Also, I'm not pressuring someone who isn't here, you seem to be here right now.

It's eerie how much Kappy, Bronson and I are echoing each other o.0 I'm starting to think if I didn't post, you guys would post what I would have posted XD Also, I think Baxter is offline. He appeared in members list last time he was on, so unless he suddenly turned invisible mode on (Which I would consider scummy due to the timing of it) he is offline.

:O What if there is a Vent and your the Ventriloquist :O LYNCH THE CP9 SCUM (jkjk, logical thought processes are logical)

Host should have turned invisible mode on, I have a terrrible habit of leaving sc2mafia running when I'm not at my computer.

Ace Chapman
July 16th, 2013, 10:42 AM
Now you're scaring me XD I do the same thing. I like to know the moment something happens, so I stay online even though I'm off doing other things. And yes.. I AM THE VENTRILOQUIST! Fear me! I shall make all of you talk like my clones! :P

*Seriousmodeon* I agree with the Elisha as Town sentiment, although at first I read it as scum (until she explained exactly why she didn't want to vote.) But I disagree with Invisible Mode. As Bronson has stated, it only limits the Town in knowing who is on and what potential information we might have because of it.

Also, I'd like to see more posts from Laura.

Charles Bronson
July 16th, 2013, 11:01 AM
I would take Elisha as a scum at the moment. She dodges Pepper, and says we shouldn't pressure since scum could hammer. However, all this does is let other players vote instead of her. I also find her refusal to turn off invisible, and seeming comfort with letting today go to waste to be atleast a negative, if not full scum.

Charles Bronson
July 16th, 2013, 11:03 AM
The actions seemingly draw attention without being full heartedly menacing. This somewhat confuses me and makes me consider the possibility of a Jester. But I doubt one would push it this early. I'm not entirely sure what to think at this time.

Charles Bronson
July 16th, 2013, 11:05 AM
Elisha might not be scum, but I do not trust her.

Ace Chapman
July 16th, 2013, 11:06 AM
I have to disagree there. Not once did she say she feared a scum hammer (unless you can find a quote for me), which supports her saying that she personally did not find Pepper scummy and as such did not want to vote him. I'd like to continue watching her before saying she's scum. Imo she's just a Town with a personality that can appear scummy.

And please turn off Invisible Mode guys. It's annoying more than anything else.

Charles Bronson

Why do you agree with the pressure?

Charles Bronson
July 16th, 2013, 11:10 AM
Because you are voting based on so few posts while scum can just watch the votes pile on someone and join the train because it's expected of them

This would be where I felt she was saying they'd hammer, but I suppose just joining the train isn't quite a hammer.


Though I don't see big benefit from it. We could just ask kindly for some insight instead of voting because most likely we won't lynch that person and the person knows it.

This post is my biggest issue. Elisha is flat out telling Town, and scum, to not try to get things done. Convincing the players to be passive and not pressure because 'I won't work' makes it not work.

It won't work as most imagine it because it simply doesn't on the first day. People aren't stupid enough to not answer which results in getting themselves lynched just through pressure, getting my point?

Also I'm not turning off invisibility mode because I have my browser open all day long even for long periods where I'm not actually on the computer. It's annoying if people think I am there even though I am actually away for like 50% of the time.

I too, have my browser open all day and will be more apparent in this fact once I am on more consistent wifi. All this does is bring people my way for discussion. Discussion is good, and if you plan on taking part people likely won't mind that you took a while.

Also, as far as the odds to get nothing done are high, an attitude that nothing can possibly be done makes the chances go from slim to 0.

You might be town, maybe, but you are heavily harming your cause if so.

Ace Chapman
July 16th, 2013, 11:48 AM
Also, I know you've said you don't want to turn invisible mode off, but I personally would greatly prefer knowing that a hidden member is you, someone I believe to be Town, and not some scum lurking around trying not to be seen.

Elisha Wilkner
July 16th, 2013, 11:54 AM
whatever, I'll turn the mode off

dunno, I haven't used my analytic side to look at you guys. from the looks of it I would say that you are a kind of newer player Ace, and Charles looks like he has a bit experience and I somehow feel a certain COM vibe from that player.

But you asked for a pressure target and I dunno about that really. I would take someone who hasn't been here yet because I'm not getting much from the people who have posted already.

Ace Chapman
July 16th, 2013, 12:05 PM

While it's true that that's a good way to gather information, I doubt we'll manage to achieve much with a couple of votes at this point.

It take 11 votes to lynch. As it's been pointed out, I doubt scum are dumb enough to try and pull a quickhammer d1. On the other hand, the voted player wouldn't start feeling pressured until... let's say L-3 or so, which might not happen until the day is almost over, and by then, we would've just lost a whole day with day while the scum had to do nothing but sit back, post a couple of random check-in posts and watch as we achieve nothing at all.

That said, I have no better suggestions at this point, other than trying to force the silent players (over 50% of the list) to say something.

So I went through the day and this is what I came up with (Wall of text inc)

page 1-4
All trolling except for Jordan's possible Amnesiac claim (Post #13) and Sidney's trollish vote on Ricky Spanish. Nothing of substance to examine. These posts not included in overall activity.

Page 5.5-8.5 Setup analyzation
Most active players:Sholanda, Tom Yabo, Charles Bronson
Moderately active: Tommy Calhoun, Lestat de Lioncourt
Least active: Rashid(Cited RP as reason for his role ideas), Sgt. Pepper(Gave basic opinions on setup), Max Jets(Noted that he did offer a roles list), Demitri, Pete Pendelman

Page 8.5-onward: Player analyzation/pressure vote discussion
Overall activity(in things of substance)

Most active: Charles, Elisha
Moderate activity:Kappy, Sholanda, Baxter
Least: Lestat(quickly moving up imo), Demitri, Thomas, Sidney, Rashid, Pepper, Max Jets, Pete

Players who have contributed in some meaningful way: Charles, Sholanda(helped greatly with roles list speculation), Tom Yabo(see Sholanda).

Players I think we should look into: Demitri, Rashid, Pepper, Pete, Baxter, Jordan, Sidney, Roland.



I agree with pressuring Sidney rather than Pepper Sidney Huffman

It depends on what grounds you vote.

We pressure Sidney to talk more because his posts consisted nothing of worth.

The votes on Pepper were because they saw his posts as scummy or something and I didn't agree with that at all.

Can noone here read anymore?

Also:

It won't work as most imagine it because it simply doesn't on the first day.
Most people expect something useful from pressuring like they did earlier on day one. Pressuring Pepper wouldn't have gained much.

By pressuring Sidney we will find out what kind of playstyle he is going to continue.l
