WW 31 Game Thread PARANOIA

[Qgqqqqq]

Already off Bob, defending him and pursuing other cases? Well, that was a quick and easy turn-around. Did you just vote him because everyone else did and that seemed the villagery thing to do? What's with you suspecting everyone else but the guys who we know can kill?

Is it my fault that perhaps my strongest town reads are killers? (Replace "strongest town reads" with "friends" and it sounds like a movie quote)
I voted Bob to make sure he wouldn't get a chance to delay response, potentially consulting with fellow scum on how to reply. The explanation given was as expected and didn't give anything away so I moved off. His role certainly offers a scum lean but is not enough to overcome my village tells on him previously. What is your intention anyway, to remain on him continuiously until the lynch (under the assumption others would stay with him) without either a smoking gun or anything you can question him on, thus utterly ignoring any other possibilities?

Also, Matt I still want to hear from you

What exactly do you want to hear? Your only reasoning was "agree with Lewwyn", Azarius gave none, and Lewwyn *eventually* actually elaborated (half a page after the initial vote) that it was because I wasn't doing much.

Nothing there gives me much to actually defend myself against. If you can come up with any reasoning beyond "I think scum are lurking, and Matt's lurking" then I'll do what I can to answer that.

I think that the play has been good at examining those people posting decently to a lot, but I have no read on you currently and I really want to hear more from you in reads and reactions so I may get a better judgement. This is not pressure based on what you've said, but by what you *haven't* said.

That probably gives town tendencies to those who were initially arguing that scum have two factional kills to 'balance' things.
...yeah, MJW is so town it's not funny by now.

Oh wow I completely missed this: "Factional kill: Each night phase, one communist may preform a night kill on another player. "

No implied criticism, that's why I said "just curious". It's hard to get the right tone across in this format.

I can sympathise entirely, I should've put a smiley in there. I was wondering what you had noticed had changed?

[novice]

I agree with Rowain. That vig should confess. If he exits and did it.

I'm pretty sure that a village vig shot me. That's one killer.

What does "pretty sure" mean? That you're sure unless your ability was tampered with?

Speaking of pretty sure - Rowain, why are you pretty sure that Serdoa is town?

[Ryan]

So lewwyn and big didn't shoot anyone. MJW was targeted by a Vig last night. One of those 3 is lying. I don't think we have 3 vigis and bob asking Vigi "not to shoot" on day 1 as if he assumed there were other vigis. He didn't say anything when Lewwyn role claimed Vigi. I don't believe him tbh.

[Lewwyn]

Oh wow I completely missed this: "Factional kill: Each night phase, one communist may preform a night kill on another player. "

Well I feel stupid. Must be a Serial Killer then.

[Gazglum]

Alright, it might be best to speak up before Serdoa potentially announces to the world what I did.

I am a vigilante too, Mr BobChillingworth. I shot Serdoa last night. Well, electrocuted him actually. Lured him into the dripping shower while a live wire sparked in the puddle. An oldie but a goodie. I was compelled by my role to use my ability last night, and I couldn't quite resist peeling a life of Serdoa over any of the other options at that stage.

MJW claims also to have been hit by a townie. I guess its possible that I doubled-up with some kind of scum on Serdoa and there were two scum kills on Q and Serdoa. Or its just communists, and they hit Q. Or MJW is wrong.

MJW, does your role tell you that were NOT hit by a Communist, or that you WERE hit by a loyal troubleshooter? That could be a big difference.

If MJW is right that he was vigged, that means we have me and another townie with kill abilities, plus Lewwyn's claimed role, plus apparently Bob holding his fire. Either way, I know its role madness, but that seems like a step too far to me.

Bob, what is the flavor of your role?

[Gazglum]

To be clear, I don't -know- if Serdoa has dirt on me, but his evil smilies and promises of later revelations made me think that he was stirring me a cocktail of pain, so better to fess up now.

[Rowain]

Speaking of pretty sure - Rowain, why are you pretty sure that Serdoa is town?

Do you disagree?

[Rowain]

Gazglum
Why on earth did you do it if you are a townie?

[MJW (ya that one)]

I cannot tell you information about why a town probably shot me without giving away my role.

Two vigs are very unlikely. So ether Gaz or Bob is a wolf. I'll go with Gazglum to spice things up.

[Mattimeo]

I am not teleporting anybody tonight because I think scum will think I can't control myself and try to protect Ryan, which of course means if they don't attack him then I kill him. If I'm wrong both me and Ryan are dead tonight. If I'm right then I'm dead and someone else gets wounded. It's too risky for me to use my ability now that scum know about it.

So your ability is "shoot someone. If they would die by other means, instead they don't die"?

Sounds like you should be using it to vig (and maybe turn it to a strong town lean if they don't end up dead), rather than agonising WIFOM over the incredibly unreliable doctor aspect.
