Mini 1603 - Air Combat Mafia - Game Over

[MattP]

one of you better die tonight

I believe you mean, TSO hopefully can block scum and no kill will happen

[Anatole Kuragin]

I hope you guys are mafia because this would be a solid ruse

It wouldn't be given that it added an extra lynch for town. But yes, if this were 3v5 and or 3v4 then sure. But it's 3v6 presumably

[Anatole Kuragin]

Yeah but you can make the no NK argument to ride out LYLO since both of your claims were proven if SSK is a sacrificial lamb. Better odds than risking it making fake cases, etc. It also draws out potential counter-claims for doctor. I'd be kinda skeptical of a setup with no protective role at all so JK kinda makes sense in that regard.

Assuming no other PR claims, then you would have to believe this was a game with a town bus driver as the only town PR

[farside22]

I read everything.
1st: thank you tso for making me laugh.
2nd: still think csa is town regardless of SSK flip.
3rd: still scum reading Anatole.

Finally I got laid off work at the end of my day...how was everyone else's fucking day?

[MattP]

Sorry Farside

[farside22]

Sorry Farside

Thanks.
It's a happy and shitty feeling.

[MattP]

Well now you should just move out of upstate NY!

[xRECKONERx]

I have a paranoia that there's one small situation in which TSO could be scum but it's a stretch so we'll just wait to see the NKs.

[MattP]

In which SSK and him are both scum

Very ballsy, and improper move to claim JKer/RBer with

[MattP]

I think TSOs tone today makes it clear as day that he's town

UNOFFICIAL COUNT:

MafiaSSK (5) - T S O, farside22, MattP, xRECKONERx, Csareo,

T S O (1) - mykonian,

Not Voting (3) - MafiaSSK, Flubbernugget, Anatole Kuragin,

Second hammer here

I want to approach the "very infrequent vote counts" that Reck mentioned because it's not the first time I've heard something about it. I want to point out that last night I went to bed at about This post. I didn't do a vote count because it was less than two pages from the start of the day. I woke up to 12 more pages. And resolved them.

I understand why people think I'm not active enough, even though I've posted within 48 hours in most cases, which is what I ask of you. Most of the time I've posted within 24 hours. However, these posts don't come in the middle of conversations as you'd be used to from previous games with Murican mods (or those in complementary timezones). I have other concepts on why this game is progressing the way that it is, but I'll save that for late. I do approve of the use of reaction gifs though

A missile streaks from the xRECKONERx's jet mid sentence. It lances through the air and hits the side of MafiaSSK's bird, it dings of the steel and falls from the sky.
"Uh...I left my master-arm on after my last shot and bumped the switch."
"Was...was that a dud missile?"
"Yeah, looked like a bad fuse. All zoom, no boom."
"Reck, c'mon."
"Yeah. Yeah. Master Arm off. Safe on."

Fucking rookies, man. Flying around with your safeties set incorrectly. This is jet pilot 101.

Csareo jumps on the radio "It's all right guys, I got him! Hostile, Hostile. Fox Three." A gap in the radio mimics your stunned silence. Minutes.
Csareo's jet has flown up towards SSKs, following his own long range missile's contrails. The missile sped forward well ahead of him, more than twice his speed, and impacted perfectly. SSK's wounded aircraft limped through the air, still in total silence, flying straight and level.

Casreo gets up beside him and tries to wave to SSK. He moves back and looks at the aircraft's markings, finally swinging forward again to see MafiaSSK giving him the bird. You know, the finger? He can see MafiaSSK flicking switches, attempting to offload all of his missiles on the teammates around him.

"GOT HIM GOT HIM FOX TWO!" The much quicker and lighter Infrared missile shoots out from under Csareo's wing, followed by a quick shout from his gun. MafiaSSK falls from the sky. Missiles thankfully unreleased, and the rest of the team luckily unhurt.

These sexy things are deploying to the Middle East right now. I have the unenviable position of being the most current Air Combat jerk in Australia's Operational Headquarters, and also an Air Ops Officer as my primary job. I've been working constant 12+hr shifts (work, sleep, work, sleep) for a few days now, and while I'm at work I don't have any access to MS.net. That's why this is about 24 hours late coming out of deadline. I'm writing this and then going straight to bed.

Morning comes. More wreckage. It's a familiar sight now, and you're kind of worried by how mechanical it's feeling. Call in your status, count the names on your hand (one short), realise the bright flash of light you saw in the night WAS a missile, find the smouldering remains of your friend, identify their aircraft. Rinse. Repeat. Pray you live. Pray that even if you do, you save enough of your friends that you're not empty inside. Maybe you should get a dog...Maybe you should start drinking.

This time it's your turn to scope the wreckage. Knowing that he's dead is one thing, actually flying down and trying to ID his jet is another. You feel sick as you pitch your aircraft down, in a way that you haven't felt since you first started learning manouvres in your home country.

"Single tail. Single Engine. This isn't a MiG."
"So, he's a baddie?"
"Sorry, not today."

MattP- F-16 BLOCK 52+ FIGHTING FALCON -

Day Four begins.

Current Deadline

[farside22]

Tso: results please.

[xRECKONERx]

I have a paranoia that there's one small situation in which TSO could be scum but it's a stretch so we'll just wait to see the NKs.

So about this... TSO could have seen the kill got stopped and figured out what happened and fakeclaimed RB onto his own scumbuddy? That was my paranoia but I thought about it overnight and it doesn't seem that likely.

[xRECKONERx]

Wait.

TSO, please claim fully now.

[T S O]

Town Jailkeeper - roleblocked farside as I expected Csareo-scum to not kill if he was scum - kill went through.

[T S O]

FUCK.

[T S O]

I don't consider the n1 JK of Reck relevant as he wouldn't have been killing - I do consider the JK of farside relevant.

[Csareo]

There are two possibilities. One Unlikely and another very much likely
1. TSO and Reckoner hardbussed Mafiassk
or the more likely scenario
2. Anatole and Mykonian were circle jerking with me yesterday to save Mafiassk from being lynched.

I got to say, if that was a hardbus, it was pretty elaborate. Then again, mattp dying was just a little to convenient.
I mean, the fact that Mattp died, a town tracker, completely validates TSO's case, and would lead to unquestioned lynches of me and the two asking him to full claim yesterday.
What's even odder is that mafiassk offered no resistance in our debate to lynch him.

[mykonian]

I do not understand why yesterday was made the mess that it became. I have no clue why this route of claiming was taken, I see no benefit anywhere.

Also, SSK lynch isn't as awesome as it could have been. It did stand out that people were very early and decisively looking for people to connect to SSK, but the people doing that were TSO and Matt... so the people who were looking to "bus" their buddy then take some townies with it are likely both town. Further, the whole town seems to have avoided SSK like the plague, only Farside at some point gave some support. There were some votes, but none with oomph, really. SSK himself doesn't give away much, obviously.

I think this day people are going to look at csareo yesterday, and while you should keep your eyes open, I understood where he was coming from. His points made perfect sense to me and I'm not sure if we want to look that way for SSK's buddy (like TSO suggested). I think if there's a positive result against a buddy like SSK, scum wouldn't hesitate to bus. Sort of positive for Flubber, actually, since he stayed off without a good reason.

So, reck, why do I keep ending up with you?

[farside22]

I don't consider the n1 JK of Reck relevant as he wouldn't have been killing - I do consider the JK of farside relevant.

Town Jailkeeper - roleblocked farside as I expected Csareo-scum to not kill if he was scum - kill went through.

Okay I imagine your thoughts are based on those you think scum together?

My scum suspects are Anatole/reck.

Reck called me out when I mentioned ssk's lurking hard day 1. He also jumped on the vezo/SSK theory after it was brought up, even though he said vezo was a town read.
Anatole scum read is more based on playstyle and gut.

Vote: reck

[mykonian]

well, that's one way to join me :/

[mykonian]

Like, I keep coming back to the vezok lynch. It was an odd one. Of the three quick votes out of nowhere, TSO has lynched SSK, Matt is dead, reck... is left. Although his explanation sounded townie, idk. Doesn't sit well with me that he hammered ssk here and I expected some easy bussing.
