Day 2
Nov 6, 2009 15:18:25 GMT -5
Post by CatInASuit on Nov 6, 2009 15:18:25 GMT -5
It had been a quiet Night and the thoughts and actions of the previous Day weighed heavily on the minds of those remaining.
Some lingered in the bar, some wandered around the ship, some remained and discussed what had happened.
And slowly people drifted away to their cabins to try and get a good Night's sleep in the hope that, come morning, they would find inspiration and make a better choice.
As they gathered together in the morning, those left behind realised that two of their number were missing.
Although no-one had noticed him much on Day 1, his absence was still noticed. Found hidden under a stairwell, a broken neck the possible cause of death, but several other breaks were noticeable.
The second was found in her quarters. The bump to her head may not have helped but the wires when attached to the ships power supply and her body had left her a charred mess.
GuyIncognito was noticed one last time. Sister Coyote has been electrocuted
The details of the two victims were fed into the ship's computer and hopes that some analysis could be done on their remains.
But it would take time....
Day 2 begins now. It will end on Wednesday 11th November at 20:00 GMT

<BillMc's claim. The initial claim was in D01.232. The relevant portion of the post (it's right down the bottom). <font style="font-size: 12px;">I'm the Passenger Vigilante.
The interesting thing about my PM, is that it says I'll find out in the morning whether I was successful, and what the role of the person I've killed was - which kinda leads me to believe that there may be a janitor about, or some other obfuscation/delay of death info. That does not read to me that there is anything odd going on. The Vig's action is a Night action. Would you really expect the Mod to tell the Vig his results privately, before the Night ended? I wouldn't. Maybe with the Dawn, but not before it. In which case, the results are also publically available in the Dawn post. This seems like a weak attempt at discrediting my claim, but I think the lack of death info proves my claim and this point. I killed Guy - good old fashioned vig strategy of taking out a lurker. Guy was a 3rd party survivor, and the barman

I killed Guy - good old fashioned vig strategy of taking out a lurker. Guy was a 3rd party survivor, and the barman Good call, if you're telling the truth. And assuming their roles get revealed eventually, I don't doubt you are. You're still not confirmed, but as argued YesterDay, a false Vig claim is typically a quick way to die. So I think it's wise to keep you around. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ The Sister kill is apparently the scum kill? Unless the scum were blocked/protected and the alien got her. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ I will restate my case from YesterDay. vote pedescribe1) For voting for me despite admitting I did something pro-Town, because he didn't like my tone. 2) For complaining that I announced my intentions and reasons. We gain information and insight by being open with our thoughts and actions. Being closed-lipped only helps scum. 3) For suggesting we wait to do anything. Yes, we had a week plus, but why should we wait? To have anything meaningful to work with in a week, we need players to do things now. 4) For defensive paranoia concerning my general statements about players not voting. This is the weakest reason, since it amounts to hunch (rather than the blatant anti-Towniness of the others), but it's there.

It is in the scum's interest to say pro-town things, but they will have trouble avoiding a scummy tone. Why do you disparage that? Also, I got blocked.

Bill's claim to learn the details of his victim's alignment and role make more sense in the light of the non-reveal in the Dawn post. The flavour behind the reveal in the Dusk post was that it was a computer-generated report on the individual placed in stasis; clearly Pirate victims, Vig kills and deaths by other mechanisms don't get immediate results because the victims weren't placed in stasis.
It appears that we may get some reports on the alignment and/or role of the deceased - the possibility is hinted at in the closing paragraphs of the Dawn post. This will give us some idea of Bill's truthfulness in reporting on Guy's alignment and role.
Yesterday I was assuming some sort of revelation would take place in the Dawn post, and my Day 1 analysis of Bill's claim was made with that in mind. I didn't think of the possibility of no Dawn reveals until after Dusk had fallen.

I am temporarily suspending my case on BillMC until we find out what Guy was, since that makes him at least partially conformable.
Also, Pleo: while tone is subjective to a certain extent, that does not render it unusable: if the person making the accusation can elaborate on specific tonal phrases that sound scummy, it is a reasonable tactic. And it has been used successfully in previous games. I acknowledge that my specific attack on you had no teeth, which is why I backed off.

The intro PM does not specify pirates, Merestil Haye. It says we were attacked by them, but only describes our current problem as being an "infiltration team". That said -- why would Pirates kill Sister Coyote? Either the infiltration team is connected to the alien she was hunting in some way (and hence may not be pirates at all); or the alien had (or still has) the ability to kill independent of the pirates, and to all appearances we are short one death.

The intro PM does not specify pirates, Merestil Haye. I beg to differ. Criminal forces have attempted to seize a ship for their own nefarious purposes. An attempt to seize a ship by force is attempted piracy, and that is committed by pirates. Until we get an official reveal of how the bad guys think of themselves, I will call them Pirates. I don't like using the word "scum." Why not? The Pirates are attempting to secure the ship by infiltration. The only qualification Sister C needed for death was that she wasn't one of the Pirates.

Really? She made a (presumably truthful) claim that she was no threat to Scum as traditionally assumed, but could find a different entity that might hurt them as much as Town. So Scum then bypassed a claimed "sort of" investigator, a claimed Vig, and a dozen or so juicy unknowns in favor of SisC? By what logic, if the Scum in this game is the generic group of killers we usually assume them to be? Your attitude that there's no mystery here is really baffling me.
And yes, pirates were mentioned, but the intro does not explicitly identify the Infiltration Team (our named threat) as pirates, and I'm trying not to make any assumptions.

Hey everyone, Well to comment so far on this: The intro PM does not specify pirates, Merestil Haye. It says we were attacked by them, but only describes our current problem as being an "infiltration team". That said -- why would Pirates kill Sister Coyote? Either the infiltration team is connected to the alien she was hunting in some way (and hence may not be pirates at all); or the alien had (or still has) the ability to kill independent of the pirates, and to all appearances we are short one death. I think if we look at Sister C's claim post: From this it implies there is some kind of "control" mechanism in place and infecting others, whether that be recriutment or pinning them like a mad bomber...I would assume that means he/she probably does not also have the ability to kill as well. After all, mad bomber or recriuter, some kind of control powers and kill? kinda seems almost too powerful of a role, or atleast for me anyways. Plus if she is supose to be this expert in tracking it, you would think when mentioning the infecting and controling part her PM would also say to her killing. So I assume her death were by the infiltrators/pirates. Why you ask Nphase? well your geuss is as good as mine, though to take a stab at why...maybe they are hoping for the alien to be a person they can get help from, or here is a thought maybe they are trying to use the alien as an escape goat for there killings..."oh we are not killing, the alien is." Who knows but the point is, looking at Sister C's discription of the alien, I personally would lean towards her being killed not by the alien. And as I said with an alien running around it does create a good cover for the infiltrators to try and hide behind. Maybe I am wrong but that is my thinking at the moment.

Well, the claimed investigator-of-sorts also said he was blocked, so that could explain why scum didn't kill him. As for Sister Coyote getting killed instead of Vigilante Bill, or any of the unknowns, it does seem odd--her claimed role didn't strike me as something particularly appealing for scum to target. As shaggy says, it's probably unlikely that the alien(s?) she was looking for killed her, as I also thought it sounded like a Mad Bomber role. Even so, if she wasn't killed by scum, it's possible the scum's kill target was actually protected (maybe they did try to hit Bill or pedescribe). If that's the case, then it suggests there's another killing role, be it the alien(s?) or something else. If scum did kill her, then maybe they didn't buy her claim and killed her in case she was a stronger town power. Or that she was actually the alien she claimed to be hunting. Or something. Idunno, that's all I got.

Admittedly I was rather surprised to be still alive Today, I can only assume that there is a nice Doc out there looking after me. Looking at SisC's claim again: "But I'm going to claim because Town needs to know that there is likely a third party among us.
My name is Lucy, and I am a specialist in alien life forms. There was a protean entity on the ship who I was trying to track down before we were attacked. It is possible, but unlikely, that this entity died in the attack. I have the ability to track them down, but it may take a few Nights.
Unfortunately, I have no way to prove my claim without dying or finding the alien. If I'm reading my role PM correctly, I, personally, am immune to being "controlled" by the alien.
I'm partially making this claim now to ask Scum not to kill me. You need me to find the parasitic alien as badly as Town does. I am Town, but both sides need me just at the moment. "Applying Rule#9 "Assume Nothing and Expect Everything." - we have a number of options: - She was killed by the infiltration team. Seems unlikely unless they didn't buy her claim.
- She was killed by the infiltration team because the infiltration team is Alien - the Alien was on board prior to the attack -- she assumed the Alien was a 3rd party - from her claim she wasn't certain it was a 3rd party.
- She was killed by the alien. We don't know whether the alien is some sort of mad bomber, or some sort of recruiting entity. It may be able to recruit or kill. SisC's use of the word "controlled" may imply recruitment.
- She was killed by a SK
- The alien had already recruited a SK on N0/D1 so was able to use the SK to kill SC

Another possibility: the alien did recruit Sis Coyote, and she'll be back toMorrow.

There's also the possibility that Bill is part of the infiltration team, and he did kill Guy. But if that's true, then there's no town vigilante, since he would have claimed today when his attack didn't hit. So that's unlikely.

Bolding, mine in the above quote. This post bothers me a lot. For one thing SisterC never used the word infecting and yet Shaggy uses it twice above. His suggestion that the infiltrators are trying to use the alien as a scape goat or to hide behind makes no sense to me. How exactly is this supposed to benefit them Shaggy? Given SisterC's claim I think it's possible that the alien is some sort of bus-driver who can "control" who someone else targets.

She is quick to accuse MHaye of PIS when the assumption of pirates is a logical step. She attempts to connect the pirates to the alien, and then smudges Bill without actually saying it*. Worthy of a vote? Maybe. I'm looking back on her earlier posts. *If we're short one death, and Bill claimed to kill...that's the smudge.

And yes, pirates were mentioned, but the intro does not explicitly identify the Infiltration Team (our named threat) as pirates, and I'm trying not to make any assumptions. This is another point of suspicion, I think. Town doesn't really have the luxury to avoid assumptions. For good or for ill, the town tends to make assumptions about what roles are outlandish, how many scum there should be, the dispositions of the moderator, and so on. Sometimes it leads to our downfall (as in Lost), and sometimes it helps (I can't actually think of any examples off the top of my head), but the assumptions are always present, because there are just too many variables for townies early in the game. Scum, on the other hand, are free to not assume anything, because they already know a great deal. By deliberately presenting options that are false, they can put up lies and slander under the pretense of 'having an open mind' and 'questioning assumptions'. And they're good at it, because they know the truth.

Shaggy, my apologies. I only went back and looked at SisC's Day 1 posts 1. I also did not participate in or pay attention to either Alien Taste 2 game, so no deja vue for me. Shaggy: This on the other hand is a complete mischaracterization of what I said. I suggested that the Alien could be a bus-driver who happened to get lucky. How does that make us waste a day hunting down an Alien? Furthermore Sister C3 felt that the Alien was a threat to the passengers and so needs to be removed if our win-con is to be met. I'm actually hoping if the Alien is messing with the infiltrators' killings that they will find it and take it out for us. Why are you in such a big whodoo about not blaming the poor Alien for SisterC's death anyway? Are you claiming to know that the Alien means us no harm? He's only aboard for the pastries and Battlestar Galactica reruns? 1One of the reasons I hate games with night discussion is the necessity of going back thru the night threads as well as the day threads. 2I did read the books though. The wolf guys sure were hella dumb. But then again they had all that doggy DNA so what would you expect. 3This of course presumes that Sister C was who she said she was. We will hopefully find out at Dusk.

All quotes are by nphase unless specified otherwise.
I got a lot of heat for commenting on this yesterDay, but I still think it's highly suspicious. The general sentiment is understandable--claims early Day 1 are bad--but the phrasing strikes more as a scum wanting to keep a bandwagon from being derailed. nphase specifically says that to even mention the possibility of claiming is bad. This...well, that's just wrong. The actual claim shouldn't happen too early, yes, but to mention it is good, as it gives the town opportunity to react, even if the person mentioning it is just going to claim vanilla. Yes, even then. And of course, at the end of it is the little slipping of the phrase "if you're town" which is fully unnecessary in the statement and just serves to remind people that Chucara was suspicous. I still think this statement is suspicious, and given the other things I've found so far, I'm voting.
Vote: nphase
Continuing.
This is also suspicious. Notice how, in the same post, nphase attacks Chucara but waffles on the point of voting. It looks like she's trying to avoid being trapped on the bandwagon.
This nonchalant attitude with regards to votes is troubling. If a bandwagon pops near the end of the Day, time and time again the town will almost always lynch an innocent who happened to act stupid somewhere along the line. When the townspeople do not give due thought to their votes, they don't usually land on scum. So why is nphase so causal about those types of votes?
More waffling! Notice, again, how she tries to remain unaccountable for her actions. Also, I find the mention of the detective odd. It's a complete non sequitor--whether or not to vote Chucara on Day 1 should not involve the actions of a hypothetical detective on Night 3!
Yet even more waffling. Also, the second part is just plain wrong. If suspicion shifted away from Chucara, he would have had a powerful enough role that the scum would probably have killed him rather quick. Just because a person is unconfirmed, that doesn't mean that the level of suspicion on them will remain constant. And if people reasonably believed Chucara was town, there would be no need to test him unless we had gotten into a no-loss situation anyway.
Yet again more waffling. Also, why wouldn't we be able to watch how chucara moves votes to see how it affects things? We most certainly could! That nphase dismisses that option is suspicious.
She says it a second time, but it's just as incorrect as the first time. Just because the abilities chucara could have used are less deadly wouldn't have made them less visible, and that would have allowed us to judge his actions.
This is a ridiculous defense. The idea that people shouldn't vote their suspicions because it might provoke claims is silly, on par with what nphase herself said about investigations.
Yet again even more waffling. This one is even more suspicious than the rest, since nphase has specifically said that he thought Chucara was scum and that outweighed the claim. So why is she hesitant now? Because of an aspect of his role claim? That makes no sense unless she's trying to wriggle out of being the prime driver of the chucara train.
And now she's wholehearted again. Back and forth.
So, yeah, I find nphase very suspicious on account of being a primary attacker of Chucara while simultaneously trying to look like she wasn't a primary attacker of Chucara, along with her attempts to box away possibilities toDay.

She made a (presumably truthful) claim that she was no threat to Scum as traditionally assumed, but could find a different entity that might hurt them as much as Town. So Scum then bypassed a claimed "sort of" investigator, a claimed Vig, and a dozen or so juicy unknowns in favor of SisC? By what logic, if the Scum in this game is the generic group of killers we usually assume them to be? Your attitude that there's no mystery here is really baffling me. And yes, pirates were mentioned, but the intro does not explicitly identify the Infiltration Team (our named threat) as pirates, and I'm trying not to make any assumptions. I am not trying to make a bug woodoo for not blaming the alien just to me this really screams like a "oh it must be logically not the infiltrators doing the kills or atleast this kill, it can only be the alien(s)." This is the funny thing here, is that it says " I make no assumptions." and yet really if you think about it...it does makes the assumption, just a differant one then Mhaye . Then by saying baffling the mind almost to me, seems like trying to push said assumption onto others. As I said now that I am on the other side of the fence, I think assuming one group is not the killers or atleast this night anyways and therefore I supose one could in a way say "less" harmfull is not good. As I said blame the one and hide behind him/her is the tactic we used in alien taste. Which worked great then for us but now I would hate to see it done again. And to me this really looks like an attempt at the same tactic. Since let's say for argument sake we assume it was the alien that killed and not the infultrators...Tomorow comes and let's say yet again only 2 dead...what do we naturally conclude? Well since we already assume the other kill last night was the alien, naturally I bet alot would assume this again, and again and, well you get the picture. So while last game I was all for this situation, this time I would hate for us to fall into the same trap again. Assumptions are never good and pushing an assumption to me is really not good. So I am by no means trying to say do not blame the alien for anything but assuming that it must logically not be the infiltration/intruders/pirates/scum what ever you want to call them...can lead down the wrong road like it did before. Something as I said now that i am on the other side of the fence i am trying to not have happen. If this coems across as sticking up or defendign the alien I am sorry, I am not trying to do so, just not wanting us to fall into a single train of thought that can eventually de-rail and take us all down. So as i said I am sorry for the wrong conclusion in regards to you.

GuyIncognito was noticed one last time. Sister Coyote has been electrocuted Guy dead isn't bad assuming BillMc is truthful and the no/delayed reveal of Night kills makes his power likely that. Sister Coyote kills seems odd - in addition to scenarios offered most likely to me seem that the alien has some redirect action (but require some luck in direct the kill) or the Infiltration Team feared she had more investigation power than she told perhaps. Or preemptively killing a semi-confirmed town in case the alien turned up confirming her role. Related, if pedescribe is truthful that he got blocked so he didn't have to be killed to be neutralized. Plus since he's under some suspicion, they left open that WIFOM. pedescribe, did you get a message telling you were blocked or sent in your investigation and just got no result? The scum kill failing is also possible, but I don't think it happened because BillMc was protected - extra kills help scum more now so I wouldn't kill a vigilante right away.
