You awake to find your numbers reduced to four. Alexander was decapitated overnight. He was Kahmal, a regretful vigilante who had turned to a druid.

With 4 alive it takes 3 to lynch. It is now Day 5. I will be gone from the 18th to the 25, so if lynch occurs then just be patient.

I think I have this figured out.

I sent a nightmare at Zu_Faul, looking for alignment, and it came back without a response.

Zu_Faul, Gerrard, Mafia Godfather.

Okay, it's not BABOOM. It's not BAMBOOM.

No offense, Bamboo, but if you're wrong then the town loses. We ARE at lynch or lose.

The choices are obviously either you or Zu, unless Brian's "Commodore Gruff, time wizard" is suddenly keen on beheadings. Given all the other evidence, I'm inclined to believe that Zu's the correct choice, but there's a slight problem.

Brian, the burden is basically on you.

In other words, you have to decide
how you want to lose the game
. If we lynch Zu and he's scum, then you lose because Braids is still standing. If we lynch Bamboo and he's town, then we (as town) lose in endgame when Zu picks you off tonight and it's just me and him tomorrow. If we no-lynch or are deadlocked, then you MIGHT win if Braids dies tonight, or you'll lose because Braids is still alive (and you dead) when Bamboo and I lynch Zu tomorrow after your death.

The only way you can possibly win now is if Bamboo were scum, and I think that having "Braids must be dead" as part of your win condition would make that case redundant. If Braids were scum, then
of course
she'd have to be dead for you to win.

You were handed a raw deal thanks to the way the other kills happened, and I'm sorry.

Honestly I think Bamboo, you're talking BS just to get me lynched so you win in endgame. With scum that powerful (extra kill!!) I think they shouldn't have a roleblocker. That you got no result is clear even *if* you were telling the truth, because then you would be cop/tracker/megapower character.
I even think it is possible for the mod to mention to Brian "you can only win, if *certain scum* is lynched" just to confuse us (and especially him). The town is power ful, so a little confusion can't be bad.
I'm waiting with my vote, because I'm not 100% sure about BMQ's protownness, but I would certainly rather lynch Bamboomancer.

Because it'd be FANTASTIC if you eliminated someone as a suspect.

You know what's amazingly unfair for the mafia? What if I told you guys that I was immune to night kills? To be honest, I don't care if you don't believe me, and let me explain why.

I say we no lynch. If Bamboo dies tonight, we lynch Zu Faul tomorrow. I get my victory condition and town wins, everybody's happy (except the scum). If Vyolence is targeted by the kill, obviously nothing happens. If Zu_Faul dies tonight, then we lynch Bamboo tomorrow, I still get my victory condition and the town wins.

If I'm shot tonight, nothing will happen. If you think I'm lying about my night kill immunity, then feel free to take a shot at me. I'm putting myself in this position. If I'm lying about that, it'll come down to Vyolence picking the scum tomorrow.

Think I'm crazy? Good. Now
vote: no lynch

Holy crap. That
would
be amazingly unfair. But given the "time wizard" thing, I could see it happening... especially with three kill-less nights so far.

Bamboo, here's your chance to finally hit Brian with a nightmare after how hard he's tried to lynch you. :)

I like the no-lynch plan (so my vote stays), but then again I have nothing to lose at this point unless we lynch wrong.

Worst-case scenario: nobody dies tonight for whatever reason(s), leaving us back where we are now. Although someone receiving a nightmare PM that doesn't kill them would probably seal the deal regardless.

...

Upon further reflection, the absolute worst-case scenario would be that Brian is in fact scum, but I think that's a low probability.

You could do it via a nightmare (like perhaps the Serra Angel I suggested, she's got a big sword).

That's all I could come up with, but it's enough to err on the side of caution since we're at mis-lynch-and-lose.

Bump to get past locked threads.

One of you either pull the trigger on this or give Brian and I a reason not to.

It's simple. If we go to night tonight without lynching, then one of a few things is true.

A) Zu_Faul is scum and BMQ is telling the truth
Zu_Faul has to kill me, I lose. I don't like that.

B) Zu_Faul is scum and BMQ is lying
Zu_Faul can kill me or BMQ, would probably kill BMQ

C) BMQ is scum
BMQ kills Me or Zu_Faul

So at best, after a no lynch, I have a 50/50 shot of staying alive. Yes, it sucks that BMQ might not be able to win if I live but what do I care, I'm trying to win too. That's the nature of the game.

So why don't you give me a reason TO nolynch, Vy.

You are aware that you don't need to be alive in order to win? If Zu is the last scum standing, then the entire non-SK scum team wins. Likewise, if I and BmQ are the only townies left stnading, then the entire town wins.

You're confusing winning with survival unless you know something I do not.

I'm not going to lie here. I had a HUGE post typed up and ready to go that was going to suggest that you and Zu both target me tonight in an attempt to eliminate some variables. But as I was finishing it, I typed this:
Alternate-reality Vyolynce wrote:The bottom line is that
lynching Zu today could cost the town the game
. As a claimed roleblocker, Zu's the only reliable way of preventing a kill tonight if we mis-lynch; yes, if he's scum then we win, but if he's not then we're
boned
(unless BMQ really is immune to night kills, which means Bamboo just screwed himself out of victory).
...at which point I stopped and stared at that last parenthetical for a good ten minutes.

Brian, if you're telling the truth about being immune to nightkills, then why aren't you voting for Zu or Bamboo?

I suppose... but you win in that scenario too if Brian is indeed town, so again I fail to see the problem from the town's POV.
