alright, Messrs Bastards, I'll jump on this Toon Fighter train with you

unvote, vote Toon Fighter

[F-16_Fighting_Falcon]

Looks like TF is our lynch today. TF, claim. I have intent to hammer.

[JacobSavage]

For starters I would just like to say that is the first time I’ve ever had three men fight over me… I could get used to it…
Secondly I couldn’t sleep so I decided to do a quick overview of the thread so far, and then I got to

Toon Fighter

First of all I noticed that over all 24 of his posts he has changed his vote in 8 of them (not including his #18). Also ironically he in this post he questions Senjai for the reason:

Senjai,

why do you change your vote every post

, selfvoting even?

Looking back over the 20 vote counts we have had I found this:

15 times he has been on the largest wagon of the day (excluding ones where it was on himself)
4 times he has been on the second largest wagon of the day
Once he was not voting when a vote count was made.

Compare this to Demon Core, who we know is town, for an example: Out of 15, 4/9/0 leaving 2 that he was not obviously following the towns desires. And 6 of these times was on the N wagon which he pretty much started (#283 following Red Coyotes earlier post).

Now from this there are two possible conclusions one can draw without being too ridiculous about it. 1. He is just a scum looking for an easy lynch. Or 2. He’s is a just a townie who doesn’t like to draw attention to himself. I couldn’t find much in his posts to indicate an alighnemnt, although in fairness I couldn’t find much of his posts. So I’ve been doing some digging, firstly one of his most recent completed games Mini 1371 he was scum,

8 posts

and he was lynched D2, the posts themselves are very lacking in content, although the occasional half-hearted longer post if pushed. Again Micro 36 a grand total of 5 pretty content – less posts.

His town meta looks very similar e.g. NY 154 But if you just compare his two play styles you can see a couple of differences. He tends to post very little (much like he has been doing recently, and jumping on wagons without much thought, (i.e.#82 a post which is very much devoid of any real reads and instead just) Compare that to his town game where he at least tries to mount a defense, note how angry he gets when the town doesn’t listen and how much he looks into the theory (I don’t know the full context as I haven’t read the game but to me it seems that he is more than likely to be scum)

PEDIT: Screw it, it seams to be pretty much decided anyway, I'll stop here for now. Loves you all x

Toon Fighter's wife stared out their kitchen window, her tea growing cold after many minutes of neglect. As much as he strived, Toon Fighter remained unable to rescue Nero Cain from the prison she had built for herself five years before. He himself felt a gaping hole within whenever reminded of the sight of their eight year old son, pale and lifeless, lying in an oversized coffin.

At least I can get on with life

, he thought bitterly as he set off for work that morning. Nero Cain, however, had never left their house since, except for important events such as the PiggyGal15-Untrod Tripod showdown of course.

~~

That day, someone new appeared on Scum Street, and he was

hot

. So hot, in fact, that Gentlemen Bastards and her posse couldn't help but giggle hysterically whenever they caught sight of him. With a face as if carved by angels, dark, brooding, bedroom eyes, and a muscular build evident underneath his tight shirt, N even caused a few of Scum Street's men to turn their heads.

However, the 19-year old was not quite as innocent as one would think, and it seemed his sole purpose was to cause trouble. He stole adorkable's stuffed toy collection, pelted water bombs at F-16_Fighting_Falcon's cats, told Untrod Tripod that her dress did not suit her figure. None of them seemed to mind at the time, but 4nxi3ty and JacobSavage suffered the consequences later.

"He's too attractive for his own good," 4nxi3ty whispered to JacobSavage after they met behind a bush, "He needs to go."

~~

Just as they were about to head upstairs for the night, Toon Fighter heard a sharp knock at the door. He turned to his wife, but Nero Cain remained unaware of any change. As the door opened to reveal N, however, Nero Cain became suddenly animated, Toon Fighter lost what had become a permanent frown, and somehow they knew that their son had miraculously returned.

Toon Fighter had one foot forward, left hand outstretched, when a gunshot sounded.

Toon Fighter,

Vanilla Townie

, has been lynched Day 2.

It is now Night 2. The deadline for night actions is 10pm, 25th November AEDT.

[DeasVail]

Despite her terror, Nero Cain felt a compulsion far greater than that of fleeing to the safety of her home. In unison, she and N slowly extended their arms. As their fingers grew closer, Nero Cain's head buzzed with excitement, her skin tingled, her face assumed an expression of wonder. Just as their fingertips were a hair's breadth apart, the long-overdue touch seeming inevitable, a second gunshot was heard. Nero Cain's blood-soaked hand flung away from N's, each of them unable to recover from shock before Nero Cain's body was ravaged by more bullets.

Eyes wide, she lay gasping on the ground. N knelt beside her, realising that she was trying to speak.
"There is something... something important... that... that you... need...that you need to know..."
N leaned closer, inwardly urging for his mother to continue. Her mouth opened, closed, then opened once again, but N could not make anything out of the last breathy sounds Nero Cain made before her eyes lost focus and her body lay still.

Nero Cain,

Town Roleblocker

, has been killed Night 2.

Day 3 begins! The deadline is 9th December, 10pm AEDT.

Players alive: N, 4nxi3ty, Empking, JacobSavage, Plan B, RedCoyote, F-16_Fighting_Falcon, Untrod Tripod, adorkable, Gentlemen Bastards

With 10 alive, it takes 6 to lynch.

[Untrod Tripod]

so yeah

vote Empking

[F-16_Fighting_Falcon]

@ UT, why Empking?

[JacobSavage]

I'm going to assume you have some sort of result that or some analysis you've done over the night.

Its quite interesting that there was only one death tonight, but that's something for later speculation.~

[Untrod Tripod]

^ man that sure is a town thing to say

[JacobSavage]

^I'm going to assume that was sarcasm. .. but yeah I see your point.
Anyway do you have anything to announce?

[Untrod Tripod]

[JacobSavage]

Ahh well done! You should be so proud!

[Untrod Tripod]

...you're an idiot

[JacobSavage]

[Empking]

^I'm going to assume that was sarcasm. .. but yeah I see your point.

No he doesn't.

Vote: UT

On DC's list etc.

[Untrod Tripod]

great case, bro

[Plan B]

VOTE: Untrod Tripod

{Untrod Tripod, Empking, 4nxi3ty, Gentlemen Bastards, F-16_Fighting_Falcon}

Those are the 5 unknowns from the PiggyGal15 mislynch and all 5 were on the Toon Fighter mislynch.

I'm operating on the belief that neither wagon was all Town. I think F-16_Fighting_Falcon's hammer on Toon Fighter was a Town move and I've got a firm town read on Gentlemen Bastards. I think the way Empking responded to Gentlemen Bastards (chasing down a referenced post and following through on the analysis, Post 457) gives more of a Town vibe than anything from Untrod Tripod. Null on 4nxi3ty, but I did read his early defense of his vote on adorkable as Town leaning - Post 88.

Nero Cain's flip strengthens the argument regarding JacobSavage being a scum buddy of DoomYoshi. Not sure why a scum team that includes JacobSavage would want that death, though. Doesn't make tons of sense, to me.

Still have suspicions against N, too, and would join a wagon on him, as well.

[F-16_Fighting_Falcon]

@ Plan B, why did the TF hammer seem town to you?

@ UT, do you have a result on Empking?

I've been thinking. Why wait til now to kill the Roleblocker? For starters for scum that role can certainly cause problems for thier nightkill, afterall the watcher was dead so it couldn't be that. I can only think of three possible explanations for this (there might be more I'm tired)
1. Scum realised that NC could be quite an easy lynch to push for tommorrow given the early claim and the whole not dying in the night.
2. Scum thought that his reads where wrong enough such that he would be unlikely to target one of them
3. DemonCore posed a significant threat to one of their key members meaning that we should start looking at who DC didn't like which would be

(also sharmlessly hopping on the band wagon, might look into this in more detail Tuesday but until then. ~)

[JacobSavage]

EBOWP: ignore that quote its irrelevant.

[Gentlemen Bastards]

I need to have a discussion with Empire about this game when he wakes up by really think we need to take a step back and reassess, we have a town-read wrong somewhere it seems. I don't think it's UT though. Plan B and Jacob, let me know what you think of Dooms final comments to UT at the end of D1 because we're both very confident that the interaction doesn't work from partner-to-partner. Initial instinct though is that Adork or N might be the way to go today but still have to talk with Empire about F-16 some more because last we spoke he didn't fully agree with the town-tells on him that I have.
