Interim Episode III: Revenge of the Rogue [Rogue Victory]

I shall take that vote as a sign you missed me. <3

Vote: Jolyma

Conga line?

More like a "vote ya" line, than a conga line. Or should we start dancing?

She's the rogue! ZOMG!!!

*dances to the music in her head!*

vote: Leif

I guess we should probably get serious about this.

Yeah, I'm fine waiting a day. I think it makes sense given the numbers.

You know, it makes me wonder a bit if it's better to lynch today and pass tomorrow. That way we spend the double-day with actual information from the lynch and ban.

Leif, I follow what you're saying but I think I disagree in principle. You're saying that if we have a "double day" with the order of lynch -> ban -> no lynch -> ban -> lynch we would be more successful than if we were to go no lynch -> ban -> lynch -> ban -> lynch, correct?

In this case we are effectively trading a person and their thoughts for at least one day to see who all of us voted on day one with little information and which of us were wrong/right. Which, with the voting rules for 4 of us to vote the same person toDay to get the lynch if we lynch the rogue yay we win, but in the more likely case where 4 of us vote an innocent there are few scenarios.

All 5 non-lynchee people vote the lynchee. We're all wrong.
Four people vote the lynchee not including the rogue. How do we come to the conclusion they are the rogue because they didn't vote the lynchee who is revealed as innocent? Would the rogue not be inclined to get lynch -> ban -> lynch -> ban to win in two Days as opposed to three?
Four people vote the lynchee, including the rogue. An innocent does not vote the lynchee. How do we read this person? Do we proclaim they are innocent due to situation two and that the rogue must be one of the four lynchee voters?

That's how I see it panning out at least and I'm not overly clear on how it's better to have fewer people toMorrow than to put ourselves down a person and into the above scenario. Perhaps I'm missing something, so if you could explain the advantages you see that'd be useful.

Cause Sets voted me and I didn't want to exclude you from the fun by making a circle without you. <3

I agree with Sets, I don't see how it puts us in a better situation.

I had also managed to completely forget I was playing despite having a tab open. Opps.

It's late, but I'm not sure I get that. I'll revisit it in the morning when I have a brain again.

Basically, my thought is that sandbagging day 1 is basically a lost day. Historically, very little seems to happen. We gain in numbers but not much else. I was just kicking around the idea if the no-lynch day might be more productive if we actually had something to talk about.

The list of scenarios here basically pans out to, "How do we play the game?"



Narrower focus and more information on for the time period where we have the most times between lynches.

Man, specious and paucity in one sentence? FoS Leif, has access to my list of favorite words and is using them in order to subconsciously gain my trust.

Joly, to clarify, I meant basically figuring out who we would lynch today as a town without actually doing the whole nasty dirty lynching bit. However, I then remembered that when I played this size game as a rogue, having that information (that information being who wanted to vote whom) was the reason I was able to survive. I figured the cons outweigh the pros.

I had to look up what specious and paucity meant. Go me.

One thing that slipped my mind while focusing on what Leif had suggested is that we do have the option of no lynch, no lynch, no lynch, lynch and no lynch, no lynch, lynch. I think personally the former is more attractive if we were to choose to go one of these routes. Had you considered these Leif, or written them off entirely?

That sort of confuses me because it was that which lead to an opportunity to determine your alignment last game, and the town's victory.

Head scratcher because rogue Leif shouldn't say "Well what caught rogue Leif last game isn't likely to work" but I don't really get why innocent Leif would say it as well.

It's obviously not the only option and arguably not the best but if I'm reading it right, you think for sure that lynching twice or more in this game is better than being careful and complacent and leaving it for the end? I feel like I'm repeating myself, but in a small game the rogue has no allies and has to blend in on their own. It's a double edged blade to reduce our numbers against the rogue but the extra days in my opinion give the rogue more opportunity to slip up and us to catch them.

That said, if further Days contain similar or less content as this one we might be better off to just lynch randomly and hope for the best.

I'd like to say that I'm suspicious of Leif and Riku, but that's more or less because they've said things that have given me opportunity to find suspicion while Yasmi, Jolyma and Crazy were fairly quiet in our first Day. I'd expect Crazy to be more vocal in this game after her "You missed me!" opening, Joly is busy with her play and Yasmi is Yasmi. So I guess that makes my list some sort of combination of Leif, Riku and Crazy of people I need to think about their actions to decide whether they are suspicious like I currently think they are and how much so. I also get a separate list of Joly and Yasmi that goes a little like "Test, one, two three. Response?"

Yasmi usually doesn't say much. Wouldn't you expect someone who starts with "You missed me!" to have intentions to make their presence felt?
