NY 151: Playground Mafia (Game Over-Mafia Win!)

[Kublai Khan]

@Nero Cain - A lynch was already reached, so, uh... There's not much to discuss until we see Seacore's flip.

[Nero Cain]

awesome, so where's the flip?

[Kublai Khan]

Dunno, waiting on PeregrineV.

[mastin2]

Oh whoops, I hope I didn't hammer.

I think it's L-1.

This is why DV's moved back to scum, by the way. The correct followthrough to "I hote I didn't hammer" is to UNVOTE.

Not Voting (1)- FakeGod

So as I see it, Junpei, DV, and TML can't all be on the same team. However, two of them obviously are. I kinda get DV-TML vibes. Who's the third on their team, not exactly sure, but I'd take a guess at it being FG. As for the other team, it's Junpei (obviously), and if FG's scum with DV-TML, then that means Junpei's scum with shotty.

Can't remember who my sixth scumread was

, oh, right, it's kdowns (also on the Pine/Seacore wagon), which of course adds to it:
Junpei, FG, kdowns, and TML are all scum, from two different factions. kdowns-Junpei fits (see also: kdowns is Macros), and not only by gut but also by POE, DV-TML fits as well. The only thing to determine is which team Shotty and FG are on, but it's more like a minor detail than anything else.

And, yes, this means I think that the Junpei counterwagon is all town.

[mastin2]

...Then again, given...

...Then again, given...

...This, it's POSSIBLE DV's on Junpei's team. Will have to look into it a lil' bit more.

With 21 alive, it takes 11 to lynch

Seacore has been lynched!

[PeregrineV]

Picked third for the kickball game, Seacore was catching everything that went up in the air. His team didn’t last long “at bat”, but his play kept the other team from scoring any points.

Waiting in line to play is not as fun as playing.

While Seacore goes to get a drink of water, the teams quickly confer, and a plan is reached.

The next time his team takes the field, Seacore is the pitcher. As he rolls one into the plate, the well-placed and well-timed kick sends the ball straight into Seacore’s nose.



The howl of pain causes the whole playground to stop and look. Seacore’s blood-spattered face brings his Mom quickly to his side, where she leads him, still crying and bleeding, off the field and to the Parents Table.

Seacore was Vanilla Town!

[PeregrineV]

It is now Night 2.

Please send in any night actions by Friday, May 18, 2pm CDT.

Day3 will begin as soon after that as possible.

[PeregrineV]

Kublai Khan runs over to the merry-go-round just as it’s slowing down. He jumps on, and it slowly comes to a stop.


“Last on, you have to push!”

With a grunt of annoyance, Kublai Khan leaps off and gets a solid grip in the metal bar. A few more people jump on,
but leave him alone to push. He strains, and gets the merry-go-round started.


Straining mightily, Kublia Khan goes around and around and around and around and jumps on!

But there’s no room, and he collides with someone and flies back off, scraping his arm and rolling 20 feet. Then starts the deep indrawn breaths as the stings of 10,000 ants attack his nerve endings.

drmyshotgun notices and says “Hey, that kid’s hurt!” while standing up to leap off and help.
A little shove from behind and drmyshotgun joins Kublia Khan in the abrasions and contusions club.

Their moms’ radar goes off, and they hurry over to collect their kids.




No worries. There’s help for them.

Kublai Khan has left the playground.
drmyshotgun has left the playground.

Kublai Khan was Vanilla Town
drmyshotgun was Town Universal Backup-turned-Mason

[redFF]

welp

I'm kind of lost in this game.

vote:junpei

I guess

[mastin2]

Ah, good. Khan actually died. That's convenient; I was beginning to doubt my Junpei scumread in favor of a Khan scumread. Not anymore!

VOTE: Junpei.

Teams as they stand are Junpei-kdowns DV | TML-shotty-FG.
Worked it out last night.

[mastin2]

That said, though, there IS a chance of it being a different distribution. A Junpei-kdowns-FG | DV-TML-shotty division is fully possible, though given TML's and DV's posts near the end of yesterday, I find it less probable.

Either way, Junpei's scum with kdowns; TML's scum with shotty. The only variable here is whether DV is scum with Junpei or with TML. (DV--as I noted before--can't be scum with FG. Also as noted before, kdowns can pretty much only be scum with Junpei. Those two factors combined don't leave a lot of variance possible.)

[Junpei]

vote mastin

Obvious suicide attack on me is obvious, lets lynch scum now.

[Code_X]

Vote: kdowns

[mastin2]

Anyway, paraphrasing my QT below.

Spoiler: Not Exact Words

My timing was good; when I came in to post my series of posts, I had no clue there had been a lynch, so it's good that I got my insight in. Re-thinking my KK townread, as per the standard, but I think it mainly depends on whether I live or die. I live, he's scum, I die, irrelevant, but he's town.

FG's vote was pretty much a scumclaim, but it's not with DV.

With five suspects on the wagon, there has to be an entire team on there (NOTE--this is one of the reasons I'm paranoid I'm wrong on one or two of my reads), and my guess is the kdowns-Junpei-DV scumteam. The alternative is Junpei-kdowns-DV, though I find it less likely. Still, Junpei's scum with kdowns; TML's scum with shotty.

Theoretically, I could be wrong (due to my scumreads requiring an entire team to be on the wagon), but who'd I be wrong on?
Shotty? Who is scum in everything he does? A scum meta, a scum motive, a scum agenda in mind?
TML? Who keeps on getting scummier and scummier?
FG? Who gets worse and worse?
DV? Who's done more than enough to earn that scumspot back?
kdowns? Who's not playing at all to his town-self and is basically ignoring the game, active-lurking along-side standard lurking?

Realistically, the only one I could really be wrong about is Junpei, but that'd require Khan to be scum in his place, due to their interactions. (NOTE: Khan's death has of course remedied this problem. Junpei's pretty much confscum thanks to that.)

*List of townreads, along with their chances of changing or remaining the same--strength was in order strongest-weakest, "Not Changing", "Prob not changing", "Likely not changing", "Junpei wagon for insta-towncred", and "ditto"*
I suppose I could theoretically be wrong, but I really don't see how, ESPECIALLY if Junpei's scum.

[DeasVail]

Vote: Kdowns

[scooby]

I guess I should read this now...

[Psyche]

X.X
79 pages...

Okay, I know that this might be innappropriate to ask..but could someone just summarize the game, with special emphasis on what's going on right now?

Maybe from that info I can start, you know, contributing.

[StrangerCoug]

Let's go back to a VOTE: Nero Cain. I still dislike his apathy toward the Day 1 lynch and Lady Lambdadelta case. (On the other hand, I've become dispassionate about mastin2 and The Mini-Librarian, but Junpei is still pretty high up.)

To all who claim to need to play catchup: You have 72 hours, then I'm going to stop being sympathetic to your needs.

[DeasVail]

The Nero Cain vote isn't bad, but I still think kdowns is the best lynch because of macros being scummy.

I kind of think Nero is town, but he's not one of my stronger reads.

[The Mini-Librarian]

VOTE: fakegod

Comes in late on both lynch wagons, lurks through day 2.

--

Can someone briefly explain the Junpei case again? (besides Junpei...) It's a little foggy right now.

[StrangerCoug]

My main case on him is how he went about the Seacore lynch. He reacted to the vote on him as if there were other viable options from Seacore's point of view. He wasn't going to self-vote, so why the surprise?

[Junpei]

Howdy,
I've got a pretty busy weekend going at the moment, with an out of state wedding to go to. So expect me to start getting caught up in a few days. But don't expect me to get 'caught up' caught up. It'll be some ISOs and a skim.

Could somebody please outline the case on Junpei? I don't really care about the case on me, I can't defend Pine's actions.

He knew that we were the two wagons of the day for sure. Yet he doesn't vote me. What changed 10 minutes and zero posts later?

[HezLucky]

I picked a random mini to help hone my scumhunting skills (DAMN YOU PARANOIA MAFIA) - it was Divided Germany.

Junpei was in that game. He was town.

He is not playing here like he was playing there. Junpei was a helluva lot more vocal in that game, and a town leader.

Vote: Junpei
