Back to Basics IV: Pick Your Poison (Game over - Victory to the Workers!)

[andracass]

that's probably a fair part of why this is going nowhere fast.

 

well, keeper strats! obviously no one died today, so you either protected someone or blocked a killer. if you suspect the person you protected, protect them again. if you don't suspect them, maybe find out if Lía is a noble or not.

also try and imply what you're doing in case something goes wrong and you end up dead tomorrow.

Day phase is finished. Phase change post will be up soon.

Night Three

 

The end of another day meant another deadlock between the group of workers as to who they should lynch next. With several names potentially shown to be suspicious, it took a long while for anyone to receive more than a single vote.

 

Indeed, one member, a Ms. Nicki (nicknamed Cicada by the other members), shouted that she'd "rather die than listen to you arseholes argue with each other for another 10 hours."

 

Whether or not she meant it literally, a couple of the group agreed with that suggestion, and thus Ms. Nicki ended up being the one chosen for execution.

 

Thus, using one of the daggers found on a previous body (the executioner for this given day, a Mr. Grace, believed in not wasting any resources), Ns. Nicki was quickly killed, and her body examined.

 

Sadly, her frustration was not an elaborate Noble ruse to divert suspicion, as Ms. Nicki's corpse gave no indication that she was anything but a normal worker.

 

Quite frustrated at how close they were to having this threat ended once and for all, the remaining workers went of to sleep for the night, determined to find them the next day...

Purplecicada was lynched! They were a Labourer (Vanilla Townie)! TFW the lynches thus far have only been vanilla townies

Day Three

 

With a new day rising, the group awakens to find a new body, as had begun to become commonplace after the previous two days.

 

Indeed, the body of a Mr. Bean (who had been recently calling himself the Psychic Sheep, to the general confusion of the other group members) was quickly found, stuffed into a cupboard.

 

To the surprise of the members of the group, upon searching the body, an empty vial of poison was discovered, whose claimed effects seemed to match those present on the two Noble members previously found.

 

Thus, the group concluded that he had been the one responsible for removing the two Noble threats before they could hide too far in the group.

 

And so the day began, with one of the biggest Worker assets dead. Will the Worker succeed in finding the last Noble member on the 2nd attempt despite this?

Psychic Sheep has died! He was the Assassin (2-shot Vigilante)!

well, props, bean

...guys

ahem

AHEM

AHEM

AHEM

 

[Walpurgis]

I totally see bean targeting alaris N1 

[DigitalAmber]

This kinda hurt my idea of massclaiming today due to a dead specialist. Fortunately for us, Bean used his abillity already. He was akin to a specially named vanilla townie when he died. 

[Alistair]

what an eventful day

 

Bean of all people was the lucky assassin. smh

 

Gonna throw a semi-random stone at someone I think could still possibly be the last maf:

Why do you think this? She has said pretty much nothing.

[Alistair]

precisely

[Walpurgis]

I have to agree. I don't think anyone else is particularly suspicious so by process of elimination

~24 hours left until end of Day phase. Feels like a disappointing amount of activity, TBH.

[andracass]

yeah, sure.

[Vote] Caimie

 

[L'Belle]

I don't see how that makes her a noble.

[Alistair]

Lack of contribution either means she is currently not able to help the town, or that she doesn't want to. That's why I'm voting for her.

If we have to wait until we have 100% conclusive evidence that someone is a noble before voting, we're never gonna vote. Especially given how dead the thread is.

If your suspicions are aimed at another player, you can always vote for them and try to convince us that it is the right thing to do; I'd very much like to read anything substantial from literally anyone at this point. The current status quo only benefits the last noble.

[Walpurgis]

1. L'Belle - Not really suspicious, his defense of Caimie makes me think he's town,
2. Walpurgis - Of course I know her. She's me!
3. Psychic Sheep (Dead - Assassin)
4. Purplecicada (Dead - Labourer)
5. DigitalAmber - Neutral, slightly biased towards town
6. Jason Grace - Same as above, I feel that if he was mafia he wouldnt be so inactive.
7. Alistair - Neutral but very slightly more biased towards noble. 
8. Alaris (Dead - Noble)
9. LykosHand (Dead - Labourer)
10. Caimie -
11. Seal (Dead - Labourer)
12. Jace Stormkirk (Dead - Noble)

13. Andracass - Same as Ali. I'm more wary of these two because I know they're quite good as mafia.

[andracass]

i'm not feeling particularly creative, so i'll just... copy Lía.

*ahem

1. L'Belle - I'm not as sympathetic towards him for his defense of Caimie. He'd probably be my second choice. and i'll be annoyed at me for letting you off earlier
2. Walpurgis - rude.
3. Psychic Sheep (Dead - Assassin)
4. Purplecicada (Dead - Labourer)
5. DigitalAmber - Is...probably fine. the voting yourself thing bothers me, but that doesn't make you maf.
6. Jason Grace - Mmm...the inactivity bugs me, but given what few comments I've seen I don't necessarily think he's maf.
7. Alistair - Proooobably isn't maf, but frankly this is also the first game i've played with you where you, uh, lived. 
8. Alaris (Dead - Noble)
9. LykosHand (Dead - Labourer)
10. Caimie - Mainly a suspect due to the lack of activity, though L'Belle is also giving me similar vibes there.
11. Seal (Dead - Labourer)
12. Jace Stormkirk (Dead - Noble)

13. andracass - hi. am me. def not a bad.

[L'Belle]

Cass, I wasn't defending Caimie at all. I was merely wondering why she was suspected since you refused to give any reason.

[andracass]

My statement was more in response to Lía's comment than yours.

do you have a list of suspects?

[DigitalAmber]

I'm honestly suprised Bean had died, now that I think about it. If I were maf I would have left Bean due to the fact that I could have diverted attention to him if I were a noble. I'm wary of Cass due to her having such a good poker face regardless of her alignment. That and I would have assumed she would be dead by now due to the fact that it seems like it would be somewhat of a challenge to successfully vote her off. Meaning the last noble wouldn't easily be able to use her as a scapegoat. 

 

I am worried that we are voting someone who can't play cause of time restraints, constraints, manacles, and other forms of bondage. Needless to say, time has its kinks. 

Eliminate Caime

Day phase is over. Phase change post incoming.

Night 4

 

With another day of discussion near its end, only one person was being considered for the lynch of the day this time. Several of the group members were getting frustrated at how little Ms. Caimie had said, claiming that her refusal to contribute meaningfully to discussion was her trying to stall discussion to try and get away with her crimes as a Noble.

 

Mr. L'Belle attempted to defend her, saying that her lack of contribution was hardly a sign of her betraying the group, especially considering how quiet in general the group had been during the day. However, his inability to put forward another candidate for the lycnh somewhat mitigated the effectiveness of his defence, and so a majority of the group agreed to Ms. Caimie's execution.

 

So, as the initial accuser, Mr. Alistair was called upon to act as her executioner. A quick snap of the neck, efficient and (compared to the ways that she could have died) relatively painless.

 

Sadly for the group, Ms. Caimie held no indication of being the last Noble agent and, with the time quickly approaching midnight, the group agreed to head to sleep.

 

However, with each member of the strike leaders being killed one by one by the remaining agent, would all of them be alive to see the next day?
