It just occurred to me... Lots of confusion is possible in a game feating Erg0 and Cogito

I noticed that shortly after I joined the site, and considered re-registering under a different name, but once I realised that everyone referred to him as CES I figured there wasn't likely to be too much confusion.distad wrote:It just occurred to me...

The Denouement
:"I've found our killer!" calls out Police Officer distad. "I've been down my list methodically, and it turns out that Erg0 is purest evil!"
BrianMcQueso and Cogito Ergo Sum have no cause to disagree, and waste no time in stringing up the last malefactor. And with that, the peaceful, methodical town of Metodico is safe again!

Thoughts from the Mod
:I enjoyed designing this game, which I did with a lot of help from Amb - thanks! We enjoyed thinking of various ways to discourage claims: hints of Cults and of a non-Methodical killer, safe claims for the Mafia and the SK, and multiple cops to discourage "follow the cop".
It was fun trying to work out the permutations of various lynch choices in advance. For example, I worked out that if the Town had lynched VitaminR day 2, as they nearly did, then the SK would have killed Nocmen (Mafia) and the Sane Cop would have investigated Nocmen, thereby confirming his sanity. Also, the Roleblocker would have prevented Nocmen from killing the SK, saving the SK's one-shot immunity. In the end the Town lynched Nocmen, which was probably an even better result.
Similarly, I worked out early on Day 3 that lynching Mr. Flay would virtually guarantee a town win: no kill due to BrianMcQueso blocking Erg0, and both cops would investigating Erg0: thereby making clear that distad was sane and CES naive and that Erg0 was the last scumbag.
It was also lucky for the Town that VitaminR died night 3 -- not only was he already a major suspect, but he was role-blocked, and so the Town might have thought that that was why there was no "Methodical Murder" that night.
Wow. Nice job. Yea, I really got stupid Day 2. Basically, I was trying to play off against Erg0 as much as I could (told you he was scum) and then right near the end realized how futile it would be to lynch my scum-buddy and open up right for the SK kill that night if possible. After that, I also knew that BMQ was a power role, so I tried to go after him, which brought more suspicion. It was the day I got lynched I came up with an ultimatum, which was to play off CES as the SK. However, I didn't expect one thing: CES to return and hammer. Also, some of the lists are amusing to read.
I will post my feelings on this methodical style later on after class.

I cannot believe it took you guys that long to lynch Erg0.
I can *almost* understand lynching Simenon (even though from my perspective, he was obviously protown). But seriously -- why did
I should also point out that both players who went "Huh?" over the randomkill were scum, as I indicated. Go go JeepTells!
Anyway, I'm glad you guys didn't blow it for me.
