Your Likeness Shall be Hung from the Wall (The Dead Thread)

[Admetus]

Also, if I were playing and you claimed Marines, the first thing I would ask is who did you kill, at which you'd be in trouble since you didn't kill anyone.

I think you missed my earlier point. DOM gave no indications of whether multiple teams killed the same person. That doesn't prove beyond reasonable doubt that you're lying, even if I know I ordered a hit on that person.

Quick counterpoint: if this happened, I'd have claimed Marine. Both PJ and I knew full well there was noone else who'd be able to counter-claim it.

Right, but Ryvvn knew the Marines were dead, right?

So you two claiming Marines would have exposed your masked accounts to Ryvvn.

Also, if you two claim Marine, then that means either both of you are part of the largest faction or neither of you are, which would be helpful in and of itself.

Oh hrm I did tell him that, didn't I.

You could have asked who I killed, and I would have said we didn't have a nightkill. Noone besides me and PJ knew what the Marines' power was.

This isn't a court of law-- you don't need to prove anything "beyond a reasonable doubt."

EDIT: If a player from a faction that hasn't appeared all game claimed kills that other teams also claimed, that would be enough to raise my suspicions of them and more confidently target them.

All you're trying to do is improve your odds of targeting a member of the largest faction, which I think public reveals by the smaller factions clearly would have done.

At which point I would have targeted you for a night kill, because ...

Noone besides me and PJ knew what the Marines' power was.

... I would have been willing to bet that a faction called "the Marines" had at least one kill shot.

Yeah, I'd have rather claimed to be survivors of the Chickens of Repute. I was pretty sure they were dead, but there was enough doubt that one slipped away, I'd have tried to use it.

Thankfully it didn't come to that.

I think the biggest reason nobody claimed is because if the game did continue, they'd already tipped their hand. And, being blind, it was hard to figure out what the other cults could do. I completely gave up trying to figure out how cult powers worked and just tried to start assuming '4 people can die every night' and go off of that.

Actually, I tried really hard to catch people making any assumptions about how cults worked in the day thread so I could call them on it. Almost did that to Cincinnatus, but decided it was ultimately a weak argument.

[That PJ]

Ryvvn to the rescue!

That PJ definitely jumped the gun-- should have waited until later in the day to vote.

Though it will be interesting to see if Aldax and Antipater side with Ryvvn, given that he initially voted for Cicero instead of Pompey.

Yeah, I definitely did jump the gun. I can't recall why it seemed important to post right around that time, but it did. Work pressure maybe? I dunno. But I do recall thinking that I needed to get him off of Cicero post-haste, because I definitely did not want to watch a train build on one of the lovers. A smarter call would've been to question Domitian/Ryvvn's logic in going after Cicero when we'd just revealed that Remus definitely wasn't working with Constantine. But ah well. Mistakes are constantly made.

And yes, I knew it was a tactically poor decision to recruit the other lover, but I believe in being a team player. And denying one of my teammates his win condition was not something I wanted to do. Also, I felt I needed dferrantino's cooperation, so yeah. I tried to play it straight, even if it weakened us. I stand by that decision. I'm just a little bummed we didn't keep them both in the Slaves through final day. But then, I'm also bummed that we were denied returning Spartacus to the flock. I mean, we won, but I am ever the romantic.

The lover revenge kill was a cool bonus I did not realize we were getting, though. Fortunately we didn't have to use it.

Thanks for the Game, CAD! I can't believe I lost 2 teammates in a single night

It's all Ravebomb's fault

I just want to point out that CAD's been planning this game for far too long:

I want some of you to die so I have less to do when I resolve each day. I hope I've put in enough killing roles. Actually scratch that, I've probably put too many in.

I'm going to try to put in Secrets and Thoughts for some of the roles later tonight. Its all written down on paper though, so I can't copy and paste it in easily.

Oh and there will be an excel table of night targets at the end of the game, for people that don't want to look at the monstrosity's that are the lists which I created to record this game.


Thoughts on the day so far: Ozy is reaching out to rekard and Ionitor. This could be excellent. I hope they form a triumvirate and crush the Republic. I see rekard more as the Julius Caesar type. Maybe Ozymandias is Pompey. Ionitor is not Crasus. Maybe Ionitor can be Cicero. That would make sense. Hopefully this will blow up in their faces and they'll die. I should run a Roman Republic theme'd TWG sometime. Wait, that would only be fun for me.

Emphasis mine - it was fun for all of us - thank you again.

More in a bit,
