who am i to argue with myself (and boogie). Kermit's right, better to have a lynch than none at all.


Unvote

Vote: Irina

[jimmydalad]

I’m happy to Vote Irina

[Grand Moff Hissa]

That's a lynch!

Unvote

And that's treason! Friend computer is watching you now!

Terminated for treason:
Irinia Ivanov, Hygiene Officer, TRAITOR

Votes:
Irina Ivanov: Fenris, Kermit, dmboogie, Cactus, Jimmydalad
Jimmydalad: VysePresident

Now the lights go out as the elevator moves. Nobody shoot anyone in the dark. That would be treason.

You get a bit over two and a half days to send any hypothetical actions. Countdown here!

[Grand Moff Hissa]

Remember to send your night actions!

Official deadline is in five hours but real talk I messed up the timezones and was aiming for 8 PM tonight and there's just about no way I'll be up when it hits. I also work tomorrow, so in all likelihood the results will be posted around 8-8:30 Pacific tomorrow night, but if something crazy happens and I get a chance sooner it is what it is. Any actions that sneak in before I post results will be counted, even if technically over the timer.

[Grand Moff Hissa]

With a shuddering grind, the elevator comes to a halt. The lights come up once more. Looking around, everyone is still present and accounted for. Well, one of you is dead, but that's still being present!

Lasered in the dark:
dmboogie, Loyalty Officer, TRAITOR

With six remaining, a lynch requires four votes. You have just under six days until the lights go out again.

Nobody commit any treason, you hear?

[dmboogie]

...and what will happen?

will I dream?

i'm too scared to close my eyes

[Fenris]

rip

my very hot take is that everyone is going to show up as a traitor and this all means nothing

[VysePresident]

What.

Like flat out lol.

Going to parse this in the same post instead of splitting it for effect, but I'd still like said reaction posted. If this game is Umineko Mafia 2, I want to say I called it.

That said, I'm going to assume it's a real game for a bit longer.

I'm getting the distinct impression these flips are not reliable.

Even in a Bastard game, two traitor flips makes no sense in a game this size - it makes t such that the game is almost literally unplayable for any non-scum faction. (This includes a secondary scum faction) Bastard games have a lot of BS, but I don't believe that Murder deliberately set it up to be unwinnable.

I was ready to eat crow for Irine somehow being a traitor in spite of the odds, but Boogie was acting pretty Town by the end of the phase - I'll go back and dissect if you guys really want, but there's no way this is legitimate.

And Ninja'd much more succinctly.

[Cactus]

we were warned that this game would be ramsay bolton levels of bastard, so that computes.

[Cactus]

... So now what? How do we know anything if the flips aren't reliable?

[Fenris]

everyone apparently being a traitor scans perfectly well with flavor. being a massive bastard game also scans with flavor.

i dunno what to say re: how we proceed, just that we're going to have to proceed blind. either of them might or might not be scum. we just cannot rely on looking at past voting patterns and such for scumhunting, which is unfortunate since it's one of the only tools we've got.

[Cactus]

So in looking into the flavour - it's stated that routinely every player in the game is a member of a secret society and that there are various objectives to complete, which usually go against one another.

So could everyone potentially be a traitor, each with a different win condition? Hence why everyone might scan as a traitor, since their win condition wouldn't match up with Friend Computer's goals? Could we be traitors without knowing it? Or could we automatically be assumed to be traitors because we're dead?

I'm spitballing, but that would be fairly bastard. Friend Computer was also particular about identifying Vyse as a team leader, so maybe his win condition is unique in that he's on the page with Friend Computer?

I don't know. I'm trying to think of what would make sense but be very un-mafia like but still keep the game winnable.

[Kermit]

LET'S KILL VYSE AND FIND OUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!

VOTE: Vyse

HAHA I WAS KERMIT FROGDANOVIC THE WHOLE TIME HAHA

[VysePresident]

Yeah no, I really don't want to lose my mislynch record just because I got run over the one game I can't go hyperactive.

I love how quickly this was spun based on flavor though. -_-
