American Revolution Mafia, Hostilities have ceased!

[BloodCovenent]

Alright, i'll post when i get back then, and will probably vote.

[Sir Bastion]

If dry fit isnt scum now...then the scumteam are very cruel

letting the clock tick down.

[Sucrose]

Sucrose - is there a reason that you don't seriously consider dry fit for the double voter? And since you made a hypothetical double-voter scenario, can you tell me what you think of my analysis of the double voter issue? Also, have you ever played with slandaar before?

I do seriously consider that dry-fit might be the double-voter. Unfortunately, after reading the double-voter analysis, including my own, I'm coming back to the conclusion that it's nigh-impossible to figure out which scum is the double-voter, except for the Sir B=double-voter, BC= town combo that I noted was highly unlikely earlier. Dry-fit's been pretty inactive, but he'd still have plenty of time to pop in and lay down a double-vote on any of the days it was used, and so would BC. My main point with the analysis of yesterday is that

BC wasn't hammered by the DV even though scum had a decent window of time to hammer him in.

I posted earlier on why there was

no

reason for scum to prefer a Slandaar lynch to a BC-town one. This makes me think BC is scum.

I have never played with Slandaar before, and obviously my jumping on him like that was a major eff-up.

Like I said at the very beginning of today, I'm pretty much forced to put all my imaginary money on a BC/Dry-fit scum team. I'm more than a little worried that Sir B is BC's partner, and that's why he wants a non-BC lynch so bad, but as of right now I think I'm going to still go with the BC/Dry-fit scum theory. I wanted BC lynched today rather than dry-fit for two reasons:

1. I still think yesterday really, really points to him being scum.
2. From my perspective, the only viable scumteam possibilities are BC/Dry-fit, and BC/Sir B. BC is scum in either possibility.

[Sucrose]

Alright, I've made my final decision. BC/dry-fit or bust.

Vote: Dry-fit

Sir B, if you're the other scum, you've done a very good job. I mean it.

[King George III]

No one saying do this
No one saying be there

Leading votegetter:



Five alive, three to lynch.

Prodding Dry-Fit...again.

Pre-edit: Bad things happen when you ninja the votecount

[Sir Bastion]

well this is it I guess.

If Dry-fit's not scum then this game is pretty much over now with the next vote.

though at least no double vote

[Sucrose]

There's no double-vote on Dry-fit. He's scum, unless you're still acting. Now do you see why I'm so suspicious of BC living yesterday?

[Sir Bastion]

Lets make this clear the issue at heart here is not that you are suspicous of BC, it's that you have not acted on your suspicion of dry-fit all game despite you saying you are suspect of him numerous times.

And as I said earlier we have no idea of when the DV is applied or how it is.

[Tammy]

Okay lets do this

VOTE: dryfit

*cross fingers*

[Sir Bastion]

please please please please please please please please

[Tammy]

Sucrose I see your point but am posting from bumper to bumper traffic and posting from phone sucks so I cantmakea response right now.

A lynch has been achieved!

[King George III]

As the conflict had dragged on, the British forces had become more and more used to the kind of terrain they were encountering, nullifying the advantage the rebels had enjoyed at the beginning of the war. For this, they were greatly indebted to their Native American allies, especially those of the

Mohawk

Nation, who provided guides and trackers to help the Royal Expeditionary Force move throughout the varied landscapes of North America.

When historians looked back at the failure of the American revolt, many key moments were identified, but two things which occurred in late 1782 became seen as the final nail in the coffin of the revolutionaries. In the European theater, the Kingdom of Great Britain gained enough of an upper hand to force France to go back on its promise never to make a peace which did not contain recognition of American Independence as a central provision, effectively allowing the British a free hand to deal with their colonies as they saw fit in exchange for a cessation of hostilities at home. At the same time, in the colony of

Virginia,

British skirmishers, given a free rein by their general

Sir William Howe

won repeated victories over the local

Militia

, tipping the balance of power toward the Redcoats.

While the revolutionaries were still strong in certain areas, notably Western Pennsylvania and Massachusetts, it became obvious that the Royalists would not be defeated any time soon. With their trade links to Europe cut off by the Royal Navy blockade, and numerous volunteers defecting to the Crown every week, the Continental Army leadership decided to negotiate.

The British Parliamentary leadership, hoping to avoid a recurrence of the revolt several years later, agreed to make some concessions to the colonists, though they fell far short of meeting the demands which had precipitated the Revolution. However, over the following decades, Parliament sensibly granted gradually increased autonomy to the Thirteen Colonies, until they remained part of the Kingdom in name only. Several revolutionary leaders were tried for treason, but

after massive amounts of lobbying by his ministers and with extreme reluctance

spontaneously and with great magnanimity

His Majesty the King agreed to commute their death sentences to confiscation of property and relatively short jail sentences.

And what of the Native tribes who had contributed so hugely to the King's victory? The Crown never forgot its debt to these people, and the Treaty of London, signed in early 1783, which ended the war granted large swathes of land to those peoples which had remained loyal, an agreement to which, to the annoyance of many settlers, the British authorities largely adhered.

survive, and win the game for their side!

It was obvious from the start. Traitors cannot win, because I rule by the mandate of God! Just be greatful that We are as merciful as We are wise!

Roles, night actions etc to come soon. Thanks for playing and again my profuse apologies for my mod error which probably cost the town a fair shot at winning this game. The problem was that literally within a minute of seeing the erroneous votecount, BloodCovenent applied the secret vote and his own basically at the same time, which he wouldn't have done had the VC not stated Slandaar was within hammering range. I couldn't exactly go 'Sorry mate, now you've outed yourself as scum, I have to undo it and confirm the townie you thought in good faith you were hammering.' But it's been nine months of work and waiting to produce this game, and for it to go wrong at the end like that... FML.

[Sir Bastion]

*sigh*

Sorry everybody I was very wrong.

Scum Role PMs:

The year is 1775.

You are

General William Howe,

Commander of the Royal Expeditionary Force

(Doublevoting Godfather).

A veteran of several campaigns including the War of the Austrian Succession and the Seven Year's War, His Majesty the King has graciously granted you the opportunity to command his magnificent Royal Expeditionary Force in crushing the traitors and rebels in North America and restoring Royal Power over the ungrateful wretches. You lead a force which also includes _________ (Charles Cornwallis, goon) ______________ (Wilhelm von Knyphausen, goon) and ___________ (Joseph Brant, Indian Tracker). You may communicate with your subordinates at night or during pre-game here: _________________. Each night, you may select one of your number to perform a nightkill: this must be delivered

BY PM,

and if the sender of the PM is different to the player assigned to perform the kill, this must also be made clear.

Your military experience has taught you several useful tactics for putting down the rebellion. To represent this, every time a rebel player is lynched, you will have a secret extra vote the following day. This vote will not affect the threshold required to lynch. It can be deployed at any point during the day by PMing me, but cannot be changed once assigned (in effect, it makes the target a hated townie for that day only). You will not receive your secret vote on any day in which the number of rebels does not exceed the number of REF members by two or more at the start of the day (ie, no secret vote at lylo or milo).

You win when all rebels have been eliminated, or nothing can prevent the same.

________________________________________________________________ ____

You may communicate with your comrades at night or during pre-game here: _________________. Each night, you may select one of your number to perform a nightkill: this must be delivered

You have cast your lot in with the Royal Expeditionary Force, consisting of your commander _______________ (General William Howe, Doublevoting Godfather) ____________ (Charles Cornwallis, Goon) and ____________ (Wilhelm von Knyphausen, Goon).

At the end of that night, you will be informed of whether that player is a Patriot or loyal to the Crown, and he will be informed of your identity and affiliation. Should you determine your target to be a reliable supporter of the revolution, the two of you will be permitted to discuss in a quicktopic on subsequent night.

You are a professional silversmith, proud patriot, and excellent horseman. You are able to use your riding skills to warn your fellow revolutionaries about the approach of the British forces. Once only, during the day, you may PM me with a list of two names. That night, you will ride to these individuals' homes and warn them that "The Regulars are coming out!" which will allow them to escape to safety - no attempt on their life will be successful that night. You may alter your protection targets as many times as you wish during the day by PM, but you may not change your choices once a lynch has been achieved.

Continental Army Turncoat

(Beloved Princess).

You are a proud patriot who has spent vast amounts of his own money, and shown numerous acts of valor, in the service of the Continental army. However, despite your successes, you will be repeatedly passed over for promotion and the subject of repeated smears relating to your personal conduct.

You desire the defeat of the Royal Expeditionary Force, however your loyalty can only be pushed so far. Should the other members of the Continental Army turn on you (if you are lynched during the day) you will instead defect to the British, handing over crucial American battle plans which will allow the Royal Expeditionary Force to outmaneuver the colonials. The in-game effect of this will be to cause two consecutive nights to follow your lynch before the next day phase begins. This does not affect your win condition - you as a player will win with the town, even if your character has gone over to the Crown.

[Sucrose]

*sigh*

Sorry everybody I was very wrong.

It's alright, I failed just as hard as you. Sorry guys.

[King George III]

Also, since this was quite important:

I did not tell Nero that he would still get a result if the player he targeted was blocked. I told him I couldn't answer that question. Seemed the fairest thing to do, since there weren't actually any roleblocking rules since there wasn't a roleblocker.

[Sucrose]

I am curious to know why SSBF tracked MoI again once he knew he was a Masonizer. Man did I get led astray on that one.

[Sucrose]

Oh, whoops, didn't see that. Post night actions, pretty pretty please?

[Sir Bastion]

I am curious to know why SSBF tracked MoI again once he knew he was a Masonizer. Man did I get led astray on that one.

he didnt claim tracker, he claimed watcher.

Tammy kills Cobblerfone

N7 -

[Sucrose]

Roles, night actions etc to come soon. Thanks for playing and again my profuse apologies for my mod error which probably cost the town a fair shot at winning this game. The problem was that literally within a minute of seeing the erroneous votecount, BloodCovenent applied the secret vote and his own basically at the same time, which he wouldn't have done had the VC not stated Slandaar was within hammering range. I couldn't exactly go 'Sorry mate, now you've outed yourself as scum, I have to undo it and confirm the townie you thought in good faith you were hammering.' But it's been nine months of work and waiting to produce this game, and for it to go wrong at the end like that... FML.

Don't worry about it. I was so convinced Tammy was town that I would have voted Dry-fit over her in the 3-person Lylo that would have eventually resulted had BC been lynched that day, since judging from the suspicions today, she would have killed Sir B at night rather than me. So we would have lost either way.

I am curious to know why SSBF tracked MoI again once he knew he was a Masonizer. Man did I get led astray on that one.

he didnt claim tracker, he claimed watcher.

I realize that, I just didn't think a scum tracker would have tracked MoI again after it was pretty clear he was a Masonizer, so I discounted it as a possibility. Which was dumb of me.

[King George III]

Yeah, SSBF/Tammy continued going to MOI because they knew there were town trackers around.

In general, though, if a 'power role' is outed on DAY TWO, and is still alive Day Eight when the only protective role died night one... especially if that 'Power role' is the only thing preventing scum from offing confirmed townies... yeeeeeeeeeeeah.
