Post by Pollux Oil on Oct 25, 2012 13:34:24 GMT -5
The sun rises over the horizon, filling the space station with daylight...until the inhabitants realize that they're in space, so the sun's always been there, so how the hell is it rising? Grumbling about weird Gastardness, they all stumble out of bed, hoping to get some good news.
They don't. They're still trapped on the space station, and once again Pollux is missing. A sticky-note on the screen says "This sticky note can do my job as well as me. Check to see if anyone's dead." Sadly, the sticky note speaks the truth, and the mafia players go about their routine morning head count. And as usual, someone is missing. Strangely enough, this person had gone missing before.
The group trudged over to peekercpa's room. The door was wide open. He was sliced cleanly in half, his lower half laying on the bed, soaking the sheets with blood. His upper half was lying face down on the floor, covered in gashes, cuts, and slices of someone who had obviously been very enthusiastic with a knife.
peekercpa, aka Deadpool (Third-Party Serial Annoyer) is dead. Again. Maybe this time it'll take?
The group was of two minds of the morning's death. On the one hand, it was obvious there were some serious psychopaths living with them. On the other hand, they wouldn't have to hear anything about the alphabet today.

Day Six begins now. Day Six ends Tuesday, October 30, at 2 PM EDT.
Mercenary bids for Night Six are now closed.

Well that's not what I expected on a variety of levels.
No icy blast. Inner, did you use your knives?
Another Night where the Merc was in Town hands and no melted brains on the breakfast menu.

Well, assuming Pizza was on the level yesterDay, he used the Merc to protect, not to kill. And he wouldn't have been able to change his order last Night, what with being dead and all. Yes, I realize the potential danger of assuming anything about Pizza, but we don't have much else to go on at this point...

Threat Assessment - The Mercenary will visit someone of your choice. If they attempt to leave their room (take a Night action) The Mercenary will knock them unconscious and prevent their Night action.
This is what I think happen to inner last night

Did we establish that a bidder does not need to be alive to use the merc? That it's a pre-emptive order?
Whether he had a standing order or not though is irrelevant. Either the merc protected as ATPG wanted or it did nothing at all. The correlation between a protective/inactive merc and no brain melting is looking pretty strong to me.

But does the merc steal shit, the sticky-fingered bastard or was I the target of two actions?

I'm not sure what you're saying here. Are you saying you think you were blocked by the Merc? I don't believe we have established what, if anything, happens if the person who wins the Merc dies before the Merc carries out their bidding. It seems reasonable that if Pizza won the bid at Dawn and gave an order before he was killed at Dusk then the order would sill be carried out after his death. But it's also plausible that the Merc would have been 'released from his contract' by Pizza's death.

OK, somehow I completely missed this sentence in your Post 9:
There are two other possibilities, though:
Pizza could have been lying to all of us about his intentions for the Merc. The Merc may have had 'free will' last Night because of Pizza's death
I think it's quite unlikely that Pizza would have sent the Merc to block Inner last Night, though.

Vote Dizzy[/color]
I don't know that I buy the hypothesis that Pizza would use the Merc to block Inner. Pizza had plenty of time to expound on reasons that Inner shouldn't be trusted or shouldn't kill, and he didn't really do that.
Perhaps SisterC can shed some light on what the plans were for the Merc, whether the Masons had any exchanges with the Pollux about the mechanics of the Merc when the winning bidder dies before any deeds get done. Can a Merc action be redirected? Which just digs up those pesky questions about how the Merc dynamis work if the Merc is a specific player on the player list as Storyteller testifies.

Burby: you ended Yesterday doubting the case against Dizzy but not making a vote. I think you need to bring more of a counter argument in light of the information we have about Night 1 and the various ramifications. How do you explain, with enough conviction to give Dizzy the benefit of the doubt, what Meeko said he saw that night coupled with the contents of Day 1 Dawn? The only angles, imho, where that benefit of the doubt is warranted involves either an unWatchable killer that night or Meeko being a liar. So why not Dizzy? We needed 4 more votes to keep Pizza out of the noose and yours was one of them.

vote: suburban plankton vote: dizzymisslizzy
I can confirm that a) I did not inherit the Merc on Pizza's death and b) I got no result notification of an action the merc might or might not have taken with regard to pizza's orders.
What I did get was notification that I have contracted a virus.

I doubt that Inner being blocked and his stun ray being taken is not due to the Mercenary. Sounds like someone else....
But why kill Peeker? Why not someone else, like Inner or even Meeko?

Meeko- I think, reading between the lines, that you act a bit like Mahaloth. If someone tries to kill you, you instead will be recruited to that side, with your powers intact. If you get recruited, you lose your powers when you switch sides...
Am I close to this?

I doubt that Inner being blocked and his stun ray being taken is not due to the Mercenary. Sounds like someone else.... But why kill Peeker? Why not someone else, like Inner or even Meeko? Hypothesis. Peeker's unadmitted wincon depends on his getting killed some number of times. In furtherance of this, peeker has a power to redirect killers onto himself that recharges at some frequency no longer than four Nights. One thing about this death; it will enable us to test peeker's veracity. He claimed that he would take one Day/Night cycle to return to the game, which means that if he returns at any time other than Dawn of Day 7, he's a liar. Speaking of liars, ATPGs death throws suspicion on JBG again. I found unlynchability a reasonable consequence of JBG's claimed role. However, she failed to stop ATPGs lynch. She's claimed she was roleblocked, a convenient result if she is in fact lying, but one that could still be true. If JBG is being truthful, there is a Day-acting roleblocker to worry about. I know we haven't retested JBG's unlynchable claim, but I was reluctant to, given the memories of Hr. Horrible Mafia, when we tried lynching Pleo, failed, and tried again the next Day - wasting two lynches and getting very little discussion in to boot. The failed protect introduces enough doubt that I think another look needs to be taken at JBG. I'm still suspicious of Meeko, primarily for being so reluctant to give up names of players who visited peeker on Night 1 (other than Dizzy). More later.

Now really what. She is town and is soft claimed mason. From my experience scum may possibly leave her alone. I need to bite people that are still in the game for me to WIN the game. Are you pouting cause I didn't bite you instead?

It might be someone else, but who? I know where I was last night. So does everyone else cause SisC tattled on me.

Are you pouting cause I didn't bite you instead? It depends. If she's lying, obviously scum will avoid her and if she's telling the truth scum will try to lynch her but if she's telling the truth and we won't lynch her then scum will kill her. The last thing they want is confirmed town. But you said you'd stay in your room. If you're not going to stay there, I'm not sure we can trust you not to be a win stealer.
