[Werewolf] SMAC: Unity [Game ends!]

[Phonemelter]

Well said, Pizza.

Question: Why do you think the wolves, provided they are the ones who drove the Kronic lunch, did not end up going for you instead? Were they already on your wagon? If so, did they not vote Soot because he is their packie? Why kill Kronic when he could be a good scapegoat for tomorrow?

These are some questions I am asking myself, but wonder what you (and others) may think?

 

[Pharaoh Llandy]

Explained (twice) by Xardob previously as blackmail.

That was much later.

Actually, no.

Pizza has to vote Eli, and the reason is simple. If he doesn't he'll get both my vote and Soot's. Yes, I'm blackmailing him to get his vote.

Fine. I need to deliver my threat anyway. It won't do if people start thinking they are empty.

Unvote, Vote Pizza

Soot, Vieira, lynch him.

Here you see you have the time frame mixed up.

First Xardob threatened to vote for Pizza unless Pizza voted for Eli.

To which Pizza responded, lolno

~24 hours later, Xardob carried through with his threat and voted for Pizza. At this stage he made it about self-preservation; Pizza could either switch his vote to whom Xardob wanted to lynch, or risk being the lynch himself.

When Xardob saw me move my vote from Soot to Eli he abandoned his attempt at blackmailing Pizza and immediately switched back to his #1 suspect. At this stage, had Xardob wanted to lynch Pizza, all he had to do was to keep his vote on Pizza and attempt to coax the potential Pizza-voters on the Soot-wagon (Vieira, Frisian) into voting for Pizza.

Instead he supported a push on Eli. But it didn't have to go that way. It could have gone onto Pizza, because with my vote on Soot gone, a Soot lynch was one step back from being achievable, and those voting for Soot would have swung to Pizza just as easily as Eli.

And when Xardob had his vote on Eli and saw others moving that way, he didn't then start randomly switching his vote or continuing with further joking. He committed to a lynch.

This is personally what I call consistent playing. Had Xardob made a push for Pizza and successfully lynched him after stating for many days that Eli was his #1, then we'd very likely be having a different conversation right now.

Rest of your post will have to wait till Future, I'm tired and going to crash for an early night.

That post sounds almost as though you think Kronic flipping innocent is a foregone conclusion...

 

[Phonemelter]

That post sounds almost as though you think Kronic flipping innocent is a foregone conclusion...

That's because I do think it is. Too much easy suspicion. Too quick of a bandwagon. It's fishy how it ended up.

 

[Magorian Aximand]

I'm sensing some inconsistency, but I'll have to wait to get back to a computer to confirm.

 

[Phonemelter]

@Llandy:

I didn't mean his explanation came much later. I actually have no idea what I meant, as the reply was hastily written, but I'll see if I can remember. 

@Mag:

Inconsistency on what? Yeah, I did find Kronic suspicious, but I didn't really want to vote a lurker. I've also previously mentioned how the quick suspicion on Kronic and Hawk was worrisome, despite having similar feelings.

 

[Troll]

There was absolute nothing quick about the Kronic lynch. The reason why I was confident pushing this lynch for so long was exactly the fact that it was such a hellish effort to make happen.

 

[Phonemelter]

That's because most people were being stubborn and wanting to lynch their top targets, but nearly everyone was agreeing to lynch Kronic as a compromise, so when the time came, it quickly happened - 5 votes in less than 12 hours.

 

[Magorian Aximand]

Everyone was compromising with everyone, just in different orders of suspects. And none of that previous suspicion remains?

Sounds like an excuse for a slip.

 

[Phonemelter]

What?

 

[Magorian Aximand]

What what?

 

[Phonemelter]

I don't know what you are saying / think I am saying.

 

[Magorian Aximand]

I'm saying that your post to Pizza was suspicious, and the reason you gave sounds more like an excuse than prior reasoning.

 

[Phonemelter]

The reason of "because it happened too quickly" or what I was telling Soot?

 

[Magorian Aximand]

Listing Kronic as a popular compromise target when nearly all players were essentially willing to compromise within the top three choices, and then the assertion of unusual speed.

 

[Phonemelter]

So it's not strange that if nearly everyone was willing to compromise within the top three choices of Soot, Pizza, and Kronic, the player with the least amount of votes out of those three was the one to be lynched?

 

[Phonemelter]

Oh, I see what you are saying about the speed part, but in either case the way it fell does not feel right to me. And I asked those questions to Pizza (and everyone) because he was online and had not weighed-in with any thoughts for a while, so I wanted to pick his brain before the thread closed in case I would not be able to ask those questions tomorrow, whether it be because Pizza gets munched, I get munched, whatever. I don't see why you'd think I would ask those things as a wolf, because that could always wait till later.

Not voting:  Kronic



With Democracy being held in high regard, it was decided that everyday someone would die, and this would be decided by reaching a majority vote. As the day progressed many votes were flung around and a core group established a hefty debate on who should be killed. Some people were less engaging and quickly distanced themselves from the group. That is not to say they weren't being contributory to the survival of the group, in fact it was these people that discovered that the locked down area is much bigger than initially presumed. They  found plenty of rooms to sleep in as well as a few recreational rooms and several vending machines. (Can you believe that there is a Pizza vending machine as well as one for alcoholic consumptions?) Whilst most people were quite happy to be informed of this. Some saw it as a reason to accuse them. "They distanced themselves to not be held responsible!" shouted one of these unhappy, "they already knew the layout because they knew this was going to happen!" shouted another.
"the lack of any attempt at debating by this man, some of you call Kronic,  is clearly the work of god. His evil and twisted tongue is being repressed by divine powers" said a woman feverishly. Soon other's started to suspect the poor man as well, even if he is not a drone, he is useless if he doesn't talk. Surely he doesn't have some special powers that could help, right?
Elisianthus knew he had ****ed up, he should have been more engaging, tried to pin down someone else in stead. Anyone but himself. Being unarmed his last option was to run and hide. Of course he couldn't just suddenly dart off, so instead he opted to just slowly reposition towards the nearest door and attempt to sneak out. Naturally, this plan was doomed to fail.
Noticing the panicked Elisianthus, and his attempt to back off, vieira knew it was his time to step forward. Revealing a small tachyon pistol, he declared the condemning vote on Eli and shot him down.
Phonemelter kneeled down and started patting down his body. He discovered a small notebook but before he could open it, the speakers chimed on, and the man with the Asian accent once again boomed across the rooms;
"You are all better at this than I expected, well done ! well done! Now go to bed and sleep safely, I will wake you in the morning"

as well as the owner of a name I have mistyped too many times.

It is now night, this night will last 3 days. Please PM me if you wish to use the Wall of Laments and if so what you would want to write on it. (1 or 2 sentences)
Additionally, nightly actions should be PMed to me.
Questions can also be direct to me in PM.

almost immediately after the speakers stopped sounding the voice, as the ship's systems switched to an artificial night cycle , the well lit halls and rooms turned dark, with only a shimmer of light here and there. The crew quickly dispersed into the small rooms and alcoves they found and designated as their private sleeping place. PhoneMelter had smuggled the little notebook to his room, curious by it's content, he held it up against a pale light and started to read. The night seemed long and for some it wasn't really great for sleeping. Only a few had beds or bunks or even sheets. Tomorrow they would have to search for either better rooms or new furniture and sheets and other handy things.
When morning came a bell rung, a bell similar to a factory announcing a change of shifts. It was long and obnoxiously loud. Within half an hour most of the crew had assembled. Only two people were absent. Xardob and Phonemelter.
The group hurried to their rooms, first up is phonemelter's. As they opened phonemelter's door, a terrible stench escaped and engulfed the party. Inside, they found the tattered remains of Phonemelter. Seemingly he had been beat up, then propped up agianst the far wall and subsequently used as target practice for a variety of objects. Wrenches, hammers and other tools not excluded. On the wall was written in blood "We must Dissent!".
Worried about Xardob, they left phonemelter's corpse. Upon arrival at Xardob's room, they discovered him bare chested, laying on his double bed with dozens of pillows.
"What's up guys? I am sorry I couldn't get up, the bed was so comfy" he proclaimed.

phone was a worker

it is now day time, wall of laments will come but I need to leave now and didnt want to keep you all waiting much longer. 5 to lynch. Good hunting!

Look to Judas and the faithful in their misery
A short drop and a sudden stop

There once was a man called Pizza, who was once quite delighted to meet ya;
He talked for a bit, then he had quite a fit, and he lamented one inactive creature.

When eminent biologist and author Lewis Thomas was asked what message he would choose to send from Earth into outer space in the Voyager spacecraft, he answered, "I would send the complete works of Johann Sebastian Bach." After a pause, he added, "But that would be boasting."

Two little wolves watched a packmate hang.
One tried to save him when he went mute.
The other sold him out at the last minute.

Empathy is key

You must find the jade monkey before the next full moon.

I was going to post a considerable message, but then I got high, oooh ooh. Wolves were gonna eat me tonight, but then they got high, oooh ooh ooooooh..."

 

[Pharaoh Llandy]

Uh, I guess this is my cue for "Oh no, we lost Phonemelter " but the lack of alignment reveal is puzzling. Was that on purpose, MaHuD, or an oversight?

Two more puzzling things:

1) Was it narrated that Melter picked up up Eli's book simply because he was the one who died, or was there possibly some role-related reason why Melter ended up with Eli's notebook?

2) Xardob getting comfy with pillows. What?

Will check back for wall of laments later, there's some rare sunshine outside that I have to go and enjoy. On the bright side, at least we got off to a good start with our Day 1 lynch. More on that later.
