Pine,
It is now Day 10 (the final Day). Deadline is Friday, November 25th, at 9:00 PM EDT. With 3 alive, it takes 2 to select a Kombatant.

@Bogre -
I don't understand why you expect us to come up with cases against each other. We are almost 4 months into this game. We are on Day freaking 10. Up until today, Oversoul was one of my biggest town reads (and based on his iso, I have been one of his), but considering your track result, I am left with Oversoul. Have I been his goat all game... probably. But my question is, why can't you come up with a decision yourself? Why are you going to base your final vote on who presents a better case? Shouldn't you have reads on both Oversoul and I by this point, and likely already have an opinion on where you would place your vote if you had to?
Reptile is a green garbed, human-like reptilian creature that embodies the archetype of the unhappy underling. Reptile is said to be physically hideous and repulsive,but he is renowned for his great stealth, impressive fighting skills andunquestioning loyalty. Unlike many other henchmen of the lords he has served, Reptile does not strive for power. Rather, he is caught in a delusional state of mind, an obsession about finding the last remaining member of his race, the Saurians, or freeing his homeworld from Outworld's grasp. Thus, he always remains loyal toShao Kahn, only obeying other masters to survive and reach his goal of returning Zaterra to its former glory.While well-meaning and sincere, this obsession is so important to him that it causes him temporary fits of insanity.
Tasty Meal: Reptile takes off his mask, revealing a reptilian face. He then opens his mouth and stretches out his long tongue, sticking it to his victim's head, then quickly retracts it,ripping off the head and eating it. Reptile then rubs his blood covered stomach, giving a satisfied "Mmmm..." noise. (MKII, MK:SM, MK 2011)
Mileena is a clone of Kitana, created by Shang Tsung's sorcery in his flesh pits for Shao Kahn, using Tarkatan physiology. Vicious and evil, she despises Kitana, and feels that it is her own right to rule Edenia as Princess in her place.Her fondest wish is to kill her "sister", and claim her existence for her own. Something of an opportunist,she will make use of any chance to seize power that comes within her hands.
Leaping Neckbite: Mileena leaps onto her opponent's chest and beginseating away their faceor neck. Also, if the opponent has a sai lodged in their neck before Mileena performs this move, she'll pull out the sai and stab them repeatedly. (MK 2011)

I don't get what you are saying here? You don't think I am scum, but you think it will be you and I in the ring? If you don't think I am scum, then it should go without saying that you think Bogre is scum. What mentality is it to put you and I in the Ring together if you think Bogre is scum?
And like hell my accusation was premeditated. If I lived to today, I was fully expecting Bogre to be the kill. Pine dying simply means that either Pine was seen as a bigger threat, or more confirmed via the Miller claim. My reaction was immediately that Pine was your biggest accuser yesterday because I wouldn't see Pine dying for any other reason.
Me being scum would mean that I not only confirmed Bogre as town (I had to point out that he and the last scum were not the same player), which means I removed him as a potential lynch, but I also kept him alive instead of Pine. I'd like to hear your explanation for that. Was that premeditated too?

Actually, it only takes one vote on someone else to make that person a kombatant as well since the rules state the two players with the highest amount of votes go against each other. Technically, the player getting the most votes will more than likely get to choose their opponent if all other votes are on him, which is why I think they get to talk during the Kombat phase (it allows the person with the most votes to build a case against his opponent).

Vote: Palisades
That should lock Palisades into the fight. I would prefer Springlullaby be the second fighter personally because I found her more scummy from the whole Miller shenanigans, but I'm wondering if there is some further strategy involved in making sure we get rid of the person we want to get rid of when a fight starts. If the majority of people want Palisades gone, then what's the point of sticking a Miller in the Pit with them? Why not put someone no one wants to get rid of in the Ring and make it a slam dunk "Flawless Victory"?

This check out with my PM. My miller status is indeed indicated as a passive ability. Although my role is called Reformed Black Dragon Leader.
The fact that our roles seem to be checking out with each other make me think that we are both town and that mod just decided to have fun.
This make me wonder about the following:

May I inquire as to how you know this? Not asking for a claim.
I have a passive that states my affiliation, which I know the entire town cannot also share (because there are not enough members of this affiliation), and that it describes I am aligned with town.
↑ Toogeloo wrote:See, I think Spring didn't read the thread and just thought she could get a Miller claim out there. Since then she has been trying to figure out how to make it passable. She first retracted it, almost as if she was going to take back the Miller thing like she hadn't read her PM thoroughly. Then she tried to fish the Miller condition out of BL, which ended up failing. I think she was hoping for BL to state what makes Millers scan the way they do, and instead BL came out with "Former Evil Slave," which made Spring have to come up with a way to make them look like they could still be Millers, and she just came up with the "Reformed" thing.

Why would he think your scum if he got a innocent on you?
He isnt so stupid.
If he got a guilty on Amrun, he would have voted Amrun first thing of the day. He voted Palisades.
In fact, he said he thought Amrun was WLC's partner, which would make Amrun a Black Dragon, not an Earthrealm Invader.
I believe Reck was stating he thought Muffin was probably Scum, and of the opposite faction of Amrun. Metaing a tad, and I'm not sure if this should even be taken into account, but Reck gave 4 Bah's when he died, and Muffin is the 4th name on the list... I could be reaching a bit, but not sure if that is coincidence, or even if he was (or should) be talking in code, so I probably will drop it at that. But kiwi is wrong about Reck stating he had a guilty on Amrun, that much I am sure.
↑ Toogeloo wrote:Mastermind of Sin wrote:Toogeloo wrote:I think Reck was stating that Muffin was the one trying to paint him as scummy, not Amrun.
PEdit: Reck DID vote Palisades out the gate Day 2, after voting for him Day 1 as well. Wouldn't he have scanned Pali Night 1, just to be sure?
We're not lynching Amrun because of Reck AT ALL. I've been trying to put Amrun up for death since Day 1, until Kise wrecked it, and then Day 2 we had a slam dunk so we couldn't kill Amrun yet. We've got another slam dunk today, but we might as well keep putting Amrun in the ring every day until we get a chance to actually finish the job.
Why are you trying to kill Amrun? He's not a Black Dragon, and the case on him yesterday was that he was trying to protect WLC, who was a Black Dragon.

Since I have been spending the day getting ready for vacation and playing mafia at the same time, I got a little exhausted and forgot which site uses which tags.
I will just claim now though if this is going to get out of hand, because I am leaving in a few hours and won't have any time to defend myself further than this .
↑ Toogeloo wrote:ABR was killed by a Shuriken Shower AND a Heart Rip. That sounds like Reiko and Kano by my research, and I think that is one from each side (Earthrealm Invader and Black Dragon). Burned to death sounds like Scorpion, so I imagine that is Vig since I don't think Scorp falls in either category. Head Devoured is either Mileena or Reptile; I think Reptile makes more sense, since isn't Mileena allied with Kitana (thus making her a town member)?
I missed most of the Day yesterday, but I did read through Oversoul's "gambit."
Why in the hell would you try to claim Masons with a claimed Vanilla, Oversoul? Even if you managed to get that worked out perfectly, you can't honestly expect anyone to have bought it, right? With me leaving for Yellowstone for a week just after my claim, I'm pretty sure I would have claimed Mason and may or may not have named my partner, just to ensure I wouldn't have had to worry about it while I was gone, not Vanilla.
↑ Toogeloo wrote:
I only researched Fatalities and was just going off what I remembered from MK II, MKIII, and the original MK movie (Kitana was good there). I thought they were like Sisters or something, but clones makes sense.
In every game I've played with Masons, Masons aren't killed until closer to Do or Die. While they are confirmed town, they are also mostly harmless. Scum would more than likely take shots at other people they think are Power instead. In this game we still had claimed power alive in CooLDoG, so I imagine he still presented a more lucrative target over "Masons" simple because he was at least half confirming people to be not scum, and Kano is still out there for sure with the Heart Rip. I still maintain no one would have believed you with my Vanilla claim previously though.
↑ zMuffinMan wrote:I actually agree with this. Prior to today, I was working off the assumption that there are two different scum factions (you know, 2 specific millers 2 specific cops, etc), but this game makes a lot more sense if we assume there's only one scum faction in this game (a combination of black dragon invaders).
I'm still kind of operating off the assumption there are two teams. CooLDoG may have hit one Black Dragon already, but he was also half confirming several people as well. With a lack of claimed power out at the moment, the Invaders may have felt he was too dangerous to their own alignment as well as players were getting narrowed down.
Going over T-Bone's ISO, I think either he never used his power, or he used it on BL/Ludi early.
He has a ton of Snake hate in his ISO, especially with:↑ T-Bone wrote:Vote: SnakeComing in, and not reading the thread, only to contribute to the two vote hammer on Amrun yesterday that the majority of us specifically asked NOT to happen, killing all discussion we had going on.I wanna put Snake and the second person in the pit today. (That'd be Cooldog, and Muffinman with the late hammer, but sigh one is confirmed town)Definitely Snake because Snake needs to die, regardless of who else we throw in the pit.
..But Snake never posted more than a single line that could be asked if it would be truth or lie. So I think that is just T-Bone acting on his gut.
However over the course of his ISO, he states he thinks Ludi is town, and he brings up question about spring's Miller status and it's strength (but the way he asks it, sounds like he possibly lie detected Bunny because of the comparison question).
↑ Toogeloo wrote:↑ Magister Ludi wrote:Toog, thats a rather big post with not much relevance.
There is a lot of relevance to the post for my own scum hunting. For one, I am trying to determine Oversoul's reactions to my questions to truly determine whether or not he is scum. At the moment, I am going with my original gut (and reason I didn't vote him to death yesterday) that he is town who made a stupid mistake. Vibe I am getting is that he wouldn't [as scum] try to claim a Masonry with a claimed Vanilla. I just don't see how people would believe it, and honestly, him screwing up the delivery is probably the most promising reason to believe it.
Determining whether or not two teams exist will help us as well. It will be less likely scum will bus scum if there is one team if they can avoid it, especially after 2 scan lynches to their team. But if there is two teams, they may be more inclined to fight each other to continue to look better. Muffin makes a good point though that the only kill that could indicate a second team is the ABR kill, as the other two deaths may be more likely to be Even Night Vigings.
By my opinion, my ISO of T Bone would also suggest that attempting to scum hunt based on his flip is likely not going to tell us anything, since the only person he had a hard on for lynching didn't give enough posts for T Bone's ability to work.
↑ Magister Ludi wrote:Who are the top three people you think are anti-town, and why?
Right now, my thoughts are leaning to kiwi for some odd posts, including posting that spring is more likely to be scum since bunny was Miller, and claiming that T-Bone was aggressive towards Snake.
My other two choices would be Booger and Darox (inb4omgus), both for the same reason. Neither is really doing anything but going with the flow of the game and egging other players on as if they were watching from the peanut gallery. They've had a little content now and again, but for the most part, they have just laid a few votes, had a few fluff posts, and let everyone else do heavy lifting.
Town-wise, I've felt the Timeater slot and you have been pretty town. Amrun and spring get some town credit as well due to scans and flips, though I do hate that spring has had all of one post since Day 1.
I'm in no interest to throw a vote down at the moment, since for all intents and purposes, I lost an entire day of discussion that I am still analyzing, and the other days were freebies from scans and modkilling. I do think kiwi will end up with my vote at this current pace though. I think the Oversoul voters are looking a bit opportunistic at his fail of yesterday, so I am trying to get a better read on those slots as well.
↑ Toogeloo wrote:Sorry I haven't posted since my V/LA ended. I have a kidney stone, it came on suddenly, and I have been on percocet and had little energy to do anything yet alone worry about a mafia game.
We have just a little over 4 days to come to a consensus on who we want in the ring, otherwise the top two with the most votes are going in.
Your list does not mention Ludi. What does this statement make you think of Ludi's alignment?
Disagree. I do think Oversoul is town regardless, but if Nero does flip scum, I don't think that clears CSL at all. Scum can attack other scum, especially if one or both of them look bad. If CSL gets lynched and flips scum, it would make Nero look better, and vice versa, but it doesn't clear either of them from not being scum.↑ zMuffinMan wrote:btw, when Nero flips scum, and people begin to realise that there actually is only one scum team, CSL and Oversoul are 100% town.
@Amrun:
You and I have both been cleared to be NOT Black Dragon, but we have not been cleared as being NOT Invaders (Reck's scanning). One team or two, people can't just dismiss as confirmed since that possibility would still exist in their minds. This is why people are arguing you aren't confirmed town.
May you guys never suffer from a kidney stone... my god, worst pain I have ever gone through.
↑ Toogeloo wrote:Unvote;
Vote: CSL
...just to ensure Oversoul isn't going into the ring, and CSL makes a good back-up to MoS since he isn't getting attention today it seems. I am fine with CSL v. Nero in a fight to the death. Had a town read on Nero earlier, and a scum read on CSL, but I have town reads on *most* of the people on Nero, so their judgment is worth noting as well. Their arguments in the ring will be my deciding factor though.
I'm a little concerned of the exodus off of IS, and forsee a constant problem with IS v. Ludi tomorrow, especially given today was dominated by that discussion. But I very much would like to discuss the anti-town/floaters and get them sorted out as well.
Passed my stone last night btw, thanks to everyone for their wishes.
↑ Toogeloo wrote:muffin, I think you have Nero wrong, and I like part of Nero's idea that Ludi wasn't the only scum on Stranger, however, with the Mafia death last night, I don't think that absolves anyone of innocence. IS is more than likely not a Black Dragon at the very least, but he could be Serial Killer (or second mafia if that idea is still being toyed with).
One thing in particular that started to bug me on reread was Amrun's continued insistence that she is Town based on a non-Black Dragon scan. It seems she is pushing a bit too hard on my reread, and that she is either Invader or SK trying to constantly show innocence.
I'd also very much prefer we don't let these idle town lie around. Not a big fan of the players who are not lifting a finger to do anything and riding other people's wagons.
As far as speculation of the teams and Night Kills...
Fate was killed Night 1 (as per ABR's watch). The only person he stated killed Fate was Ghost. Ghost was Strongman though, so I suppose Bunny might have protected Fate (or another target) and only Ghost's kill got through, assuming two kills went out that night and one was protected against.
I still believe that Reiko and Scorpion are the killers (less sure about Scorpion). Lore wise, both seem to have their own personal agendas. It might be that there are two Serial Killers in the game, one even night and one odd night. Aligned SKs could make sense, but not from what I can see flavor-wise.
As for today, I very much want less dawdling from Darox, Bogre, and Kiwi. Oversoul needs to step up as well.
For now...
Vote: Amrun
...on gut.

I would be upset as hell if I was alone and in my faction and could only kill every 2 lynches and multiple other night kills going off.
There has to be something else about the SK, either he has a partner, or he has another ability that function on Even Nights. I can't believe a gimp ass every other night SK exists by itself.
If Fonz is the EN SK and not Vig, are we giving him a free night to do another kill for their team? How do we test him, and as Stranger says, what do we do if Fonz makes it to end game?

I haven't got a clue who the Shuriken guy is to be honest, and I think claims might help a little on the meta front. Willing to put IS in, but I think we need to put our second guess in as well, or at least hear who IS thinks is the Shuriken guy, and maybe put the two of them in together.

This was the post that I got the vibe from Muffin that he knew who was scum. The *tiny* comment felt like a direct breadcrumb that he had some form of scanning power. I figured he knew IS was scum as well from the same side of it. When he later stated that he thought Fonz was the only power left, I thought I had been over-reading the exchange.↑ zMuffinMan wrote:nero wrote:The only person that has a case on me is Muffin and he only thinks I'm scum b/c I'm attacking lurkerscum OS.
There's a *tiny* bit more to it than that...
I haven't wavered from my Town Oversoul opinion the entire game until today. I just didn't see any reason you would gambit like that as scum, nor any of your other comments like trying to hara-kiri in mortal kombat. The track is very hard to dismiss, but Head Devour did happen every even night (except last night) and scum did have an odd-night power, plus the even night vigilante and odd night serial killer. Obviously every other night powers seems to be a recurring theme. In Lylo, it is a lot harder to dismiss a confirmation, and I really wish that Fonz would have just vigged Bogre like we asked instead of Nacho for who knows what reason. So if you look at it as a confirmed player vs. someone you have thought is town the entire game, the confirmationOversoul wrote:Also, I am little dissatisfied with your case as it is pretty bland on only really goes off the fact that Bogre is confirmed and that I am not?
He is still power-lurking like crazy, and I despise it. Despite his confirmed status, he is content to let us just throw blows at each other and offer little to no content of his own. This is as close to a coin-flip end game as you can get, and if it weren't for the track result, I would vote him in a heart beat probably. Set-up meta, there was a Kill Watcher and a Tracker. Two observing roles would suggest a observe immune player. But why Pine?
