Post by Pollux Oil on Oct 2, 2012 12:26:41 GMT -5
The Day ends. There's a moment's pause before Pollux appears on the large screen again, in the middle of eating a Twinkie. As he notices the camera is on, he quickly stuffs the rest of the Twinkie in his mouth."
"Oh, dayth's orghver halready?" He swallows. "Sorry, sorry, I was just enjoying my meal for the next 24 hours. No, no need to cry for me. A Twinkie a day keeps the doctor away, right? Right? Okay, I'm pretty sure nobody's said that, so let's get to the recap." He looks down at his notes. "Pleonast, Pleonast, Pleonast, seems like that's all anybody wants to talk about. Oh! Seems like you guys voted to kill him. That's nice. There was also some kerfuffle about poking lurkers and what-not, yadda yadda. Wait, so you guys are upset about lurking but you vote for the guy claiming to be the Anti-Lurker? You guys are weeeeeird."
Pollux taps the camera. "Pleonast, I'm sorry, but your the chosen one today. Good luck and godspeed." The screen blinks off as the crowd shoves Pleonast to the forefront. Unlike the previous day's candidate, Pleonast stands there calmly, not afraid of what's about to come.
The crowd hesitates and waits for the entrance of the big man. Sure enough, out of nowhere the hooded executioner appears and stomps through the crowd, making a beeline towards Pleonast. The large, bulky, hooded man looks down at Pleonast, who simply looks back up at him.
"You're making a big mistake," Pleonast says to nobody in particular.
"I don't make mistakes," responds the big man. With ease he picks up Pleonast and carries him under his arm. Some of the crowd has already gathered by the airlock, but this time the hooded man takes a different turn and the bloodythirsty group of mafia players hurries to find out where he's going. The executioner stops in front of what seems to be a large incinerator. "Variety is the spice of life," muses the large, hooded man. Nobody seems willing to disagree with him.
Opening the grate, the executioner hefts Pleonast up. "Any last words?" The hooded man asks. Pleonast simply stares back, and with a shrug, he is tossed into the flames. The screams are brief as Pleonast is burned alive, and with a loud puff three items of his fly back out of the incinerator.
The crowd gathers to identify the items: boxer shorts with eyeholes cut into them, a homemade sign that reads "NO LURKERS", and a magnifying glass.
Before anyone can make sense of the articles, there's a scream. The crowd disperses as guiri staggers forward, coughing up blood onto other players. They step back away from him, worried, as he shoots off small fireballs in every direction before collapsing onto the floor, a large sword sticking out of his back. Someone had taken the opportunity to stab poor guiri in the back while everyone was paying attention to the lynch, and the crowd immediately began to cast accusatory glances.
One glance in particular elicited another scream. Standing among the crowd, a big smile on his face, was peekercpa, alive and well. He looked around at the other players. "Hey guys! What'd I miss?!"
---
Pleonast, aka The Anti-Lurker (Town Investigator) will no longer be playing superhero.
guiri, aka Tim the Enchanter (Town Doctor) got stabbed in the back when he least expected it.
peekercpa, aka Deadpool, is alive again!
Night Two begins now.
Bidding for the Mercenary for Night Three is open!
Night Two will end Thursday, at 1 PM EST/EDT/whatever.

Yeah, that was kind of exceptional, wasn't it? And a Day kill, yet.
Or a poisoning that took place at Dusk.
Or something.

Way too much happened in the last 45 minutes of the Day out of game and in as well I see Pleo was Town but claimed 3rd party NH- so Scum would leave him be? hmm and a rogue DayKill appears to have taken our Doc ? also really,really, really Dead is not forever dead it seems

So did Pleonast give a mostly truthful claim, except that he chose to say he was Third Party instead of Town?
Or was he Third-Party to begin the game, but recruited to Town on Night 1?
Given that we're talking about Pleo here, I couldn't say which was more likely...

Or a poisoning that took place at Dusk. Only if the poison took the form of a very large sword sticking out of his back. But in a world where "really, really, really, certainly dead" is only temporary, who knows...

Did we ever have a Princess Bride Mafia?
Because it seems that peeker was only mostly dead. There's a big difference between mostly dead and all dead. Mostly dead is slightly alive. With all dead, well, with all dead there's usually only one thing you can do.

And also, in Conspiracy games I believe there is a role that allows resurrection of dead players?
And wasn't the Chia Bingo Manager mentioned -- seem to recall that was a power, too, to bring one player back.

Argh.
The only thing I can think of is that maybe Pleo started as Third Party but got recruited or got to choose sides based on some mechanic of his powers? Maybe?
Guiri's decision to bid that high was really not good, imho.
Are you really alive, Peeker? Was there a white light?

So we're looking at somewhere around 17 Third Party players at the beginning of the game, depending on whether or not the Scum have recruited anyone yet. peeker, would you care to claim an Alignment at this point?

Given that we're talking about Pleo here, I couldn't say which was more likely... It seems fairly obvious. He was recruited by the town. I hate to say I told you so, boys and girls, but I told you so. I said don't lynch Pleonast. And the last thing I said before I fell asleep was? Was? "I have an odd theory I want to share with you guys: 1) There's a lot more third parties in this game than standard. 2) Many of them can become town. 3) Many of them are hostile and cannot become town." Townies don't have reason to claim to be third party. Pleo began the game as third party and became a town investigator. Moral of the story: 1) Non-hostile third party means non-hostile 2) Third party are recruitable 3) Pizza is apparently not as crazy as he looks. And no, I didn't recruit anyone. I deduced it.

Red, you're saying that the game started with 7 town members out of 29 players? Really? And that confirms number one on pizza's wacky theories list. Hey! Folks! Should you ever become townie, you know, I'm probably going to be one of your few allies. Until someone can convert more of you. As such, if there's a town doctor, or even a third party doctor, cover my ass tonight. Since I'm sorta flapping in the breeze as one of the few admitted starting townies. Starting townie. Gosh that sounds important. How can you trust me, you might ask? Like this: "I will give pizza the benefit of the doubt for a couple rounds". There. And it's amazing what good you can accomplish from that.

Look, somebody talk to me like I'm the slow kid in class. What evidence exists that there were only seven Town players at the beginning of the game? Both Plankton and pizzaguy are now saying this as if it's a given. Did I miss something really critical?
Because Pleo pretending to be third party when he was really Town would be entirely consistent with Pleo being Pleo. Why assume he was recruited? If he had been, why would he not mention it sometime yesterDay?

I have an odd theory I want to share with you guys: 1) There's a lot more third parties in this game than standard. 2) Many of them can become town. 3) Many of them are hostile and cannot become town. 4) Someone is running around stubbing toes, infecting with viruses, and causing mental instability. 5) Of those, the one that is more likely to be a good thing for town, is actually.... ........(drumroll).....The mental instability. (!) Surprise? Here's the thing. I'm crazy as a loon, and as townie as they'll ever come. And I'm also not responsible for making other people crazy (in-game, not IRL... I bet IRL I'm driving you all nuts right now). My first thought was that crazy people would be more dangerous, less townie, etc.... but this is a very weird game, and I'm a perfectly townie, otherwise normal, completely crazy person. This game is going to be effing with your expectations a bit, is what I'm thinking. Pollux Oil took a bunch of crazy roles and this game is going to be a madhouse. But I'm thinking that the madhouse will be full of townies. If anyone has reason to believe (or know) this is wrong, tell me. I have reason to think that you are right about the number of 3rd party players. And suspect as much about the amount of recruitment. Why? I know how many town players there were walking into night 1. How do I know? Its says so right here in my magic bag... See it says it right there: 7. Also, sorry about the confusion with votes. All the posts begin to merge together after a while. unvote PizzaIt appears that Red Skeezix has a Magic 8-Ball that tells him things about the game's makeup. So far, he's announced The game had 7 Town at the end of Day 1 The game had 5 Scum at the end of Day 2

Assuming we can trust Red's information, of course. Also, in case we missed this: And for the record my investigation was: Your investigations into JustBeingGinger return their role name: Judge, Jury, and Executioner.

On the question of "Would Pleonast claim to be Third party if he was actually town?" If it were almost any other player, I would say "No way". But consider this: I don't know if Pleonast is Scum, Hostile Third-Party, or Nonhostile Third-Party. The only thing I'm pretty darn certain of is that he is not Town. Your gamut is too limited. In this game, where there's known to be non-hostile third-parties who are both mislynches and miskills, a town investigator could reasonably claim non-hostile third-party. They'd avoid both the lynch and the Night-kill, yet still be able to openly reveal their results. An excellent way to get info to their team with minimal risks. Because we are talking about Pleonast, I'd make it a 50/50 proposition at this point...
