Wow I come back from a full day war & board gaming and find this! I am shocked.
BTW not to influence peoples votes in future but that's why I took no part in the recent flurry.
Hmmm... The fear is setting in across the board! This is a dark day, friends turning against each other. -Shudders- By the gods!
Aye dear sir. I was speaking to my French friend yesterday who has played Werewolf frequently and he was implying after a few games the speculation is easier and more care-free. 'I have been killer last 2 games, not again.' 'Hang him, if I am wrong, hang me next.'
I think it could be useful in the next game to have a scenario for the players to interact with, maybe a secondary type mission. Ie an ambassadors' ball and everyone is trying to ensure trade agreements. As even if we have no actual stats/mission it provides a framework for creative posts. As 5-9 people in an airship we have just been hanging around the lounge drinking, which is fun. But sometimes I have been a bit hard pressed of what to type next.
I think we just need to get MORE creative. Lets try something new with the next Stage shall we?
I'm baffled?!?
I pegged The Duke as being an assassin...
This has been an interesting day...
I'm leaning toward JDF, but it's more of a gut feeling. Everyone's been playing their cards close to their chest, and I haven't noticed anything obvious enough that I could give a reason for it. I guess everything will be made clear in a week or so...
unfortunately, Alessandra and robert showing up to vote together seals it. Now by wowbagger voting for alessandra, that triggers a robert vote for me. He tries to convince james knowing he doesn't need to convince anyone else because alessandra is already with him. can't get any better evidence of collusion than that.
Hmm... coming on a little strong, Wowbagger, aren't you?
Perhaps a defense hmmm?
Well, we get to start a new one now at least.
Figuring it out does no good of no one believes you.
If an aristocrat is lynched it is autowin for assassins.
Well winning in two rounds or losing in one -- I always like to lose fast :-)
:) Well that's the spirit?
I believe I have figured it out. If this round pans out how I believe it will, I will know for sure!
If a non assassin is lynched, it is game over - correct? I think we will know soon anyway.
I guess advertising your findings as the investigator is a quick route to being assassinated.
If an assassin is lynched, the game will continue. If not, we'll be starting my next game: WEREWOLVES!
And no, Duke Leto, I'm afraid they'll have to decide this themselves.
If a non-assassin, non-Silver Fox is lynched then the Aristocrats could Stalemate but it would be very slow going, relying upon luck. As the Slver Fox could stop the assassinations with 3/1 or 4/1 probablity each day. Of course if the Silver Fox is lynched then it is definitely over. And if we lynch an assassin then it tips in the Aristicrats favour.
a 2-2 stalemate vote would mean no lynching of assassins from then on.
Yep, but if the Silver Fox got Extremely lucky then he could prevent the assassinations.
but not indefinitely.
Not indefinetly indeed. It would be two against two at that point and the votes would naturally be stacked, so IF the Silver Fox (Almost called him the Grey Fox. Aaaah Oblivion...) saw two people voting against him, then they would obviously be Assassins.
Yep, my initial calcs were wrong. Yes we need to catch a assassin this time.
So, no offense to the Fox, his move is somewhat academic.
If an assassin is lynched, the game will continue. If not, we'll be starting my next game: WEREWOLVES!
Would you consider opening up the recruitment thread right away for Werewolves? Since it looks as though this could be over in about the same time it would take to recruit the next game, we could segue right into it.
That's probably a good idea. I'll throw up a thread in a bit.
Please post a link when you do.
Thanks.
Paging the good Dr. Lugwaude, please show up and talk to Sir James, I think he needs to hear from a Terran. Else we will be using the new thread post haste.
Wowbagger you slippery devil... Still believe this mask hides roses do you?
I know my status and you know yours.
I do indeed!
This turn will see it true!
I had to guess Alessandra's status, how did you know?
Well if it works out how I think it will, I will answer that!
Rather than say 'I told you so', I'll get it out of the way now.
I'm an aristocrat! The only PM I've received relating to this game was from a player wheedling and dealing to try to get me to change my vote. *IF* Wowbagger is also an aristocrat, it looks like we'll be moving on to the werewolf game tomorrow...
Well, I will change to Red Robert to see if it helps things. I am more sure of him then you.
I too could give up the ghost and admit to my Role, but I choose to stew. Wowbagger, what proof do you have that I am an Assassin?
the quick vote of you and alessandra together at the end of the round is not conclusive proof, but quite suspicious. With no prior coordination at all that I could see. That is what is great about this game, second guessing second guesses. Reminds me a little of Vizzinni in Princess Bride, I know you want me to pick that, so I'll say this.
THE GREATEST PROOF IS LETO'S VOTE FOR YOU ROBERT
-Nods- Fair point. That would seem suspicious!
But I ask you, dear Wowbagger, who voted first? Was it I or the Lady Alessandra?
I did.
Now, we can all agree that the Assassins know eachother, it has had to have happened. So, if I was an Assassin, and I knew who the other Assassin was, then surely they too would have voted for my target, yes?
But, as the Professor is an Aristocrat, and the good Doctor still lives, then that would assume that the other Assassin voted for someone else, yes? So why would we divide our targets, this late in the game?
Aaah of course... To spread a wider net. -Nods- This could be the case. Perhaps, by provoking the Professor in to voting for him, the Doctor and I played a nice game of bait and switch. Perhaps I was hovering near the forum to change my vote, should it look like my accomplace, who we can now assume is the good Doctor, would be getting the boot. And by my voting for him, I secured the thought that there was no link between us.
Or, perhaps it meant nothing. Maybe the fact that myself and young James headed off together suggests we are in fact working together.
Or perhaps, dear Wowbagger, the fact that you are spearheading a vote for me, and I for you, perhaps this means we are Assassins, and we are baiting and switching again.
Hmm... Curiouser and curiouser!
we have the professors word she is an aristocrat, we have Leto's deathbed confession you are an assassin. I guess I give Leto more credence. I vote for you and hope all the aristocrats follow suit.
Leto never voted for me... Not that I can see!
correct, it was you who voted for him. not as suspicious. unless he let his badge show.
I did.
-Nods-
I suspected him at the start, but when the Doctor threw around the accusations, I changed to him.
So dear Wowbagger, where do you stand now?
still voting for you, but only on the word of Alessandra. I have to vote for one of you after the suspicious double vote at the end. She may be an aristocrat as she claims.
Sir James not voting last round makes him appear innocent. An assassin would have broken the tie and ended the game last round by getting rid of an aristocrat by voting and another one by assassination.
Dr. Lugwaude would have changed her vote to Alessandra at the end had she been an assassin with you. So if I believe you are guilty, I have to believe Dr. Lugwaude is innocent.
Hence, like Vizzini in princess bride, I drink this one.
I respect your conviction.
I was around shortly after Fridays update, but had to go out of town all weekend and this game has since exploded with posts. :/
I'll update an OOC speculation and make a few IC posts when I have the time tomorrow around lunch time for me here in CST.
So what the vote count is currently:
Wowbagger: 3 (Red Robert, Sir James, Prof. Alessandra)
Red Robert: 1 (Wowbagger)
Correct?
Interesting; I was half expecting this last round to turn out to be Dr. L vs. Prof. A part two electric boogaloo.
Much like Wowbagger I'm on board with the Alessandra/Red Robert theory, but I'm almost certain he's innocent in any case as he could have simply dropped his vote for me and won the game if he was guilty.
If somehow things become absurdly loony and we pull the game goes on for another cycle I'd recommend the SF protect themselves if possible.
Question: Can the SF protect (his/her)self?
Your count is right.
Alright, you convinced me. Lets see how this plays out...
I'm betting that the assassins are Sir James and The Red Robert.
