Mafia: The Aurora Express [N3: No-Show]

[Schazer]

Para: What do you think of Skunk?

[SleepingOrange]

Tch, unlynched and unkilled? I need to step up my game.

Vote: Heroguy

Unvote

Vote: Mathgirl

Words to come after work, probably.

[obolisk0430]

Well, I guess I blew the third party card before I needed to. I have nothing to do with the voting shenanigans last day, as far as I'm aware. Give me a sec to go over some stuff, and I'll start posting my feels.

[Limanya]

Oh hey i'm coming back from school and day started. Also since khalvin was a EEEEEVIL guy i'm wondering how much we should trust....i mean the things did make sense but i might just be failing horribly here. Oh and i hate it when a lover dies since the other dies too and then we lose TWO people instead of one...but as i'm typing this i'm too hyper to think properly since day started.

So i'll wait with voting to see what happens now, and who votes for who (and to calm down a bit :P)

[Paranoia]

well

i'm going to note that he kind of defended armored skunk and tried pointing people at you instead because supposedly being in hellspot 4 was less warglh than an rvs self vote (despite both being rvs votes)

also kind of nothing aS was posting and

kind of did nothing useful with his vote either which is warghl. as far as I can tell he kept his rvs vote on you and seemed to try passing it off as a serious vote for ~reasons~. I'd be okay with him dying too.

[whoosh!]

ANNOUNCEMENT

Those present suddenly become aware of something sitting on one of the tables. A quick examination reveals it to be an apple, carved out of soapstone. It gets passed around. Everyone marvels at the exquisite craftmanship and beauty of the apple. And at one point or another, somebody turns it upside-down - and reads aloud an inscription carved there.

'To the cleverest.'

A woman takes the apple, tosses it in the air once and announces that she's taking it. Unsurprisingly, a fair few people bristle at the thought of not being the cleverest, and dispute her right of ownership. Others join in, either throwing in their opinion of who the apple should go to or trying to make a case for themselves. For a few minutes the entirety of the discussion is completely derailed as it descends into bickering and insults.

Eventually someone snaps to their senses and proposes the obvious: that this should be settled democratically. At the end of the day, the person with the most votes for the apple gets to keep it.

NB: These are separate votes to the ones used to lynch. Unspecified votes will be taken to mean lynch votes. To vote for an owner of the apple, simply use Vote Apple: or any other variation involving the word apple.

[Limanya]

huh cool a event kind of thing


let me think for a while okay?

[Paranoia]

you know

the last time this happened a city state burned to the ground.

so which one of you is petty enough to doom a country.

[Limanya]

^ lolwut

[curiousCat]

I need to apple. Please give me the apple. Apple: Cat

[Palamedes]

I would rather have the apple go to someone I can trust.

So Schazer, Para, or me.

Also Vote: Scofflaw because I said I wasn't goint to let him get away with that weak as hell last post. Limanya is also somewhat vote-worthy as he's just kind of sitting around and asking other people what to do/think.

Incidentally I will also not abide votes on Obolisk since he's obviously third party and we have a vig(?) to take care of guys like him.

[Palamedes]

Oh right Apple: Schazer

[Limanya]

I'm a she -.-

Apple: Schazer.

I actually thought of giving Schazer the apple earlier, but wanted to think for a bit longer so i waited.

[ThunderJolt]

Ok hold on what?

Limanya, you said on Day 1 that Schazer was one of your higher suspcions/scumreads, and now you're voting to give her the apple?

This... makes no sense to me?

[Limanya]

No i just realized that, sorry for being really fucking stupid -___-

Apple unvote because appearantly i need to think longer -_-

[armoredSkunk]

Ok hold on what?

Limanya, you said on Day 1 that Schazer was one of your higher suspcions/scumreads, and now you're voting to give her the apple?

This... makes no sense to me?

yeah this

personally I agree with the switch but I'd like to see Limanya answer this before I go into further detail (which will be part of a bigger post with lots o' stuff)

[Airey]

why does this apple just scream snow white? also why we avoiding talking about obolisk? do we have a null voter or something out there?

Vote limanya cause of that edited post and hope that was a huge scum slip.

[ZigZagas]

Wooo stuff

Okay so thoughts:
With the lynch yesterday, I'll believe obolisk's third party claim, and if we choose to believe him when he says he had nothing to do with the no lynch then I'm thinking that's presumably a null voter as Airey said, that or someone can give protection from lynches? Latter seems unlikely so yeah. But, knowing there is a null voter isn't helpful until later days when we can cross-examine vote counts, if it ever becomes viable at all. So, I'll probably just forget about that for now.
I'm also thinking we have someone capable of at least one kill who isn't mafia (or two mafia ones and a busdriver), but again I'm not sure there's much to roll with that, I don't see any way of figuring out who they are.
So in terms of my scumreads - limanya, airey, scofflaw, inoxfy for inactivity so far. Similarly, I don't remember much being contributed by mathgirl, AS, or schazer.
Schazer's silliness kind of makes me inclined to think her town, at least slightly, since I don't think a mafia really draws attention to themselves like that.
But hey I haven't actually read through the thread again yet
Main thought atm is not exactly a scumread:
Limanya voted schazer to have the apple, and immediately rescinded it - this just tells me limanya is allowing others (or pala at least, though I think any dominant player) to lead her into decisions. Otherwise why vote for schazer? If she just forgot then presumably her suspicions on schazer weren't actually that strong else she'd have remembered them immediately.
Aaand for the apple
Is it possible to abstain from voting? Not saying I will, but I'm pretty sure at the moment at least there's nobody I'd trust with it, not least because surely there's no gurantee it's a good thing

[whoosh!]

Or he's the SK?

elect: Cat


I'll address the rest of this nonsense when my stomach stops doing flips
But suffice it to say that I find that accusation hilarious coming from Scumdini Palamedes.

[curiousCat]

If you trusted Acio yesterday, there should be no reason for you not to trust me with the apple. I believe that if I hold it it could be of great benefit to town.

[Schazer]

Zigs, you were someone Khalvin delighted in being dicey about. Granted, he was dicey about a lot of people but he was rather comfortable with you. Same as he was with Scoffles, whose mouth-shooting-off-of just now rubs me the wrong way. Have you got any more salient reads on the situation than "hurr duur can't trust that Pala being a leader"? He's right up there for scrutiny by all manner of investigators, and now that the framer's confirmed dead isn't it liable to come out in the wash?

Scoffles and ZigZagas, I want something more substantial than poking things from a distance with a damn stick.


Cat, I have a policy nixing on you taking items without doing your bit. "I was Aci and that's the best reason why I deserve items" is your worst rationale yet. I haven't played in so long I couldn't even tell if Aci playing nice and keep-hands-off D1 was him avoiding scumslips, or deliberately not trying to eat newbies alive. As long as that viewpoint stays, your argument is invalid.

Me personally I am ambivalent about the apple. Give it to me if you want. I'm not debasing myself to Cat's level by campaigning for it.

Finally Airey if you drop a vote on the easiest target right now and bow out I will gut you that is a promise.

[obolisk0430]

So check this out. I don't get a vote today. Something in the flavor about promising to vote for whoever some woman wants me to. I don't know if that means that whoever did this to me get's an extra vote, but I definatly know that my vote doesn't count today. I still think some of the stuff Acio said yesterday is off.

Have an apple schazer, i will stick with my rasins

[curiousCat]

Well Schaz the reason I deserve the apple is that if it has anything to do with nightactions I have proven time and again to be extremely competent with them for town.
