(KindofMafia) Assassin in the Castle!

[Caluin Graye]

There seemed to be a measure of composure amongst the room. Perhaps the gravity of the situation had finally sunk in on everyone? Or, perhaps, simply nobody else wanted to be put down like a rabid dog.

The votes came quickly and efficiently. Everyone agreed that kestegs was the assassin. He had to be. To his credit, kestegs took the verdict stoically, and for a long while there was silence in the room as everyone contemplated the deed. Eventually, however, one person spoke up. "Nobody is going to change their mind, so let us just get this over with."

The strikes were quick and merciful. The only pain kestegs felt was that of feeling betrayed by people he once called brothers. Even still, he died with a smile, knowing that his death gave the King another chance to escape.

Six men remain.

I am aware he is -1 lynch, and I re-read the thread and am comfortable with this vote. Until he flips guard that is.

omg is doing a good job min posting as well.

Sounds like you knew that he is a guard to me. Don't like the early lock either.

Vote: Bad Ash

 

[pharphis]

Still 4 for a lock, yes? I assume it's half of the total rounded down + 1, so in this case it is still 4.
I'll be waiting for OMG's thoughts before placing a vote, I think. I still think Gory is innocent because of what I said earlier. Aside from him and myself everyone is fair game in my books at this point.

Actually , the below statement of yours can be interpreted in more ways than one. One of those ways is that you are the assassin. You are in no way shape or form off the hook here, so don't try to hide. Goryani is not off the hook either. But if someone were to go , I would lynch you over him without much second thoughts

BA is becoming a bit weirder to me. If he was a guard, he would know that you're on the king's side.

I won't be hiding. I just don't want to place a vote until I have a better idea on OMG. Then I can move to you, Gwaihir or Bad Ash for being the most scummy.

 

[pharphis]

Below statement?
Are you sure you meant that one?

By the way, I thought Kestegs was innocent, but of course we had to play it safe once he was locked.
As I've said before, him and Gory were the only safe 2 other than myself.

 

[Bad Ash]

I will be voting for Solar Ice or omgbbq today I believe. Does anyone else think either of these two could be the assassin?

 

[omgwtfbbqpwned]

So... I guess these are the final 6?

1. Bad Ash
2. ThunderCat
3. Solar Ice
4. Goryani
5. Pharphis
8. Gwaihir

In order of appearance on the list: I don't like Bad Ash. I don't like pharphis. I don't like Gwahir. Simply based on voting patterns - not who they vote, but just based on how and when they're voting. I'm happier executing BA or Gwahir over pharphis, if that means anything though. Take my post however you wish to take it, fellow guards, Assassin (unless I'm the one you've been looking for ), and King (or perhaps the crown has always been on my head).

I was hoping it was kestegs, but near the final moments of his lynch I realized it was more likely to be BA/pharphis/Gwahir. That is all from me.

 

[pharphis]

Good.
vote: Gwaihir

Reason: Minimal contributions.

Hmm, odd. I definitely thought kegs was the assassin. Actually was the reason I didn't post for the rest of the day after we locked him.

Those top my list. I think omg is more suspicious to me than Solar though.

As seen above, your post seems pretty much backwards of my thoughts. Solar Ice worries with some of his early questions and omg as he is really a giant question mark as he only showed up yesterday. Mostly spam posts, promise of further analysis, and then a list post above, which is dangerous at best.

 

[Solar Ice]

Hmm, odd. I definitely thought kegs was the assassin. Actually was the reason I didn't post for the rest of the day after we locked him.

You are the assassin that we have been looking at all this time. Quite amazing that you have lurked through this game without giving any meaningful contribution whatsoever. You are just hoping to skate through the game for as long as you can, then guess the identity of the King. This will not fly with me. You are smiling, but will do so no longer. This is your final day assassin.

Unvote: Bad Ash
Vote: Gwaihir

 

[Bad Ash]

3 to lynch and 4 to lock? Gwahirs last post sits very unwell with me...

 

[Caluin Graye]

3 to lynch and 4 to lock?

4 to lock. Any amount can lynch.

Current votes:
Gwaihir [2]: pharphis; Solar Ice

Not voting: Goryani; Bad Ash; Gwaihir; omgwtfbbqpwned

 

[Goryani]

Sorry for formatting. Reposting.

Much more readable that time...

Simply based on voting patterns - not who they vote, but just based on how and when they're voting.

I tried looking over the votes to see if I could look at the how and when and either not notice or ignore the who. I failed. However, I caught something I missed earlier.

Gonna read the rest of the thread now.

Never tell a farmer you like anything they grow. I am now the proud (and surprised!) owner of six GIANT cantaloupes. Anyone have any good recipes?

Whomever said this game is hard is right. There are soooooooo many questions I'm tempted to ask but shouldn't. Every question that makes sense, I can't ask. So I'm left with a question that quite possibly can't, or at least, won't be, answered:

How much stronger does a policy kudo have to be in order to outweigh a player specific kudo? No, I will no go into specifics.

 

[pharphis]

Can't say I have any idea what you're asking lol

Maybe tomorrow when I'm bored at work I'll try to find these patterns omg speaks of. :/
But if you can't find anything, I'm not sure I'll be able to find anything, and if I do, if it's a good idea to even point them out.
My first impression would be that it is just a very vague way of saying he does like a handful of people to hide from the guards, but I'm not getting that vibe from him otherwise.

Yes, this is hard, because several of us are on our own agenda here, but with the same goal, it's hard to math things up well. I especially wonder how intense the next game of this would be. I've flip-flopped between thinking the game is heavily weighted toward the assassin and the guards, but I can't decide.
Kudos to CG

 

[Bad Ash]

very deep in strategy. I am excited to talk endgame.

for now though:

Vote: Gwahir

gonna check in again when I wake up before work but that sticks for now

Nope, not an assassin here. As for meaningful contribution, that is pretty hard to judge. As we have not found the assassin yet,it is very hard to tell what was actually meaningful contribution. I have tried my best to protect the king while finding the assassin, and determining progress on that front is complicated. As for your gloating speech, I find it very disturbing and definitely moves you to the top of my most likely to be the assassin list, but there could be some OMGUS in that.

Always loved cantaloupe in a fresh fruit salad of pretty much any type. Although that would make a ton of salad.
As for the game, yeah, it is really hard to tell what exactly is safe to say and useful for catching the assassin.

Anyways, I do generally dislike leaving a question possibly aimed at me unanswered, but I don't know what you mean by kudo, if you clear that up I would give it a shot.

Looks like I will likely be the target for today's lynch, hopefully you guys can choose better tomorrow . If people see SI seeming to gloat about being able to frame a guard, so might as well vote my gut:

Vote: Solar Ice

I don't think a human can eat that much fruit salad...

Tonight I had what amounts to a BLT but with cantaloupe. I was inspired by a prosciutto and melon finger sandwich recipe. No prosciutto on hand, but bacon can never be wrong! I also used a sour cream based lemon-dill dip instead of bland mayo. It turned out great!

Anyways, I do generally dislike leaving a question possibly aimed at me unanswered, but I don't know what you mean by kudo, if you clear that up I would give it a shot.

I'm neither confirming nor denying that my statement was either directed toward you or about you. But in case anyone is interested: kudo.
