Judge, Jury, and Executioner - Over

[whispersilk]

I've almost no internet access until tomorrow night. Don't expect anything from me until then.

I'm back to having normal internet access now. I'll be catching up today, posting tonight.

Yes, I was on the jury, and I stated that based upon the one game I've played with Arugula, I did not think he was scum in this game. I didn't vote not-guilty, because I didn't need to. By default my vote was already not-guilty.

Is there a possibility that Thor was a vig shot? I see little motivation for Knights claim.

Lynchings and killings are barbarian.

This game features an orderly judicial system.

Every day, the town selects three defendants in a democratic vote. The three defendants will be jailed by the sheriff at the end of the day and brought before the court.

Unfortunately, the mafia has not only infiltrated the town, but also the judicial system. Luckily, the judge is always guaranteed to be a law-abiding citizen, and the jury is still randomly selected.

However, the executioner is selected anew every night by a suspicious clerk, and the cases always seem to end up before the court in a particular order.

In a deliberation phase, one defendant each will be assigned to the judge, the jury and the executioner by the mafia. They will be given a defense statement by the defendant and are expected to return a verdict by the end of the deliberation phase. Both judge and executioner can freely decide to convict or acquit; for the jury, a vote will be held, with a majority required for conviction.

However, as the numbers dwindle, the judicial system will start to crumble. At first, there will not be enough citizens to fill a jury, and only judge and executioner remain.

Finally, as not even a judge and an executioner can be found in the town, vigilante justice makes a return.

It doesn't look like there was any other way for Thor to have been killed other than by the executioner. The only chance of a vig in the setup is when there is no longer enough players to make up a jury. I'm assuming that "killings" in the bolded section above would also apply to a SK as it obviously does to a vig and scum.

My votes will put him at L-1.

VOTE: NoC
VOTE: NoC

Will place my third vote once I've finished catching up.

UNVOTE: Koc
UNVOTE: Koc

@KoC:

It says it quite clearly - No lynchings, no killings. What non-killing power roles do envisage scum having that could have resulted in Thor's death?

[whispersilk]

The bold seems stupid.

Stupidity is not a scumtell.

VOTE: Nero Cain
I've seen better cases from you on me than this crap.

Really? So what was the point of this exercise?

Okay...what was your thought process before killing Thor?

Are you illiterate?

VOTE: D3f3nd3r

Knight of Cydonia make it very clear that he

PARDONED

Thor665 and didn't kill him. That is consistent with what I've seen out of him. Asking if D3f3nd3r was illiterate may admittedly be insulting, but I would expect town to be a little more attentive than this. He clearly paid attention to the facts that Knight of Cydonia was the executioner, that Thor665 was sent to him, and that the latter is now dead. D3f3nd3r, however, didn't look very closely at the executioner claim—just extracted the claim and didn't read KoC's version of the turn of events.

Doesn't that make defender more likely to be town?

[whispersilk]

Doesn't that make defender more likely to be town?

No, because if the "scum-plan" was to frame KoC for executing Thor, defender would want to come straight in and point the finger.

MoS is being a jerk but probTown. If you're gonna white knight, you make sure you do it before the townflip.

No, my point is that is defender is scum, he would have already known the details. The fact he didn't read what NoC said properly and got confused could indicate that he's town. Why would scum draw attention to themselves like that?

Responding to prod. No time to post right now.
