my read is the player i repeatedly said made a scummy post (which they did) made a scummy post and should be killed, but there is a large contingent of people who play mafia these days who don't share my inherent talents of reading a post and being like "that's fake"

We have six players here, at least one scum.

Claims:

Zoya, tracker
Spork, watcher
Tmoritz, doctor
RWC, dueler, no night action and now blocked if I had one
-----------
Deadmeat, condemnor, and now blocked
Snooze, tea sipper, did I see her claim to have killed somber?

-----------

But in the (IMO) extremely unlikely event that snooze is town and there are still two baddies out there....

Hm. Might we consider NL? What is the pro-town strat here with 6 alive and possibly two scum left?

My problem here is that Bearmeat and Snooze look so obviously teamed about now. Would they really be that obvious?

Help me I'm about to fall off the "scum woldn't do that" cliff again.

since there are two shadowlanders that died last night, and most likely one actual nk from the other team, then I guess one of them might have died from poison?

is there anyone that got roleblocked at d3/n3 that we can clear as a poisoner?

there's been zero evidence of two nightkills up until now

If we NL that's making scum make a move. We have a tracker and a watcher, along with you. I'm assuming they can only kill one, despite last night's bloodbath.

Looking at Somber's flip, it sounds like he had a delay if he was dead by duel wounds, that is one possibility other than a poisoner.

nah i'm pretty sure it's just saying that the protection lasts until next day i.e. it's a shot of BP that works on duel wounds

I don't see the case against snooze. Someone spell it out for me

Rhymes With Clue
Nov 18, 2010

The case against....

Deadmeat: The thing is, given DM's progression in the thread, I can kinda see how he lands on me. That duel challenge was bad, but if he's really town and really thinks I'm scum, I get it.

Before the doc claim he was on TMoritz and, town or scum, he had to back off on that one. TM and Spork have pretty much cleared each other.

Circl at one point said he was willing to vote DM, but didn't. Ever?

Snooze: It's a POE. TM and Spork have pretty much cleared each other so from my POV here have to be two scum* in Deadmeat/Zoya/Snooze. Zoya has claimed tracker, not cc'd, there has not been another tracker. If Snooze is town, she is truly not giving me a fair hearing here. Just jumped right on some pretty innocuous posts and called them scum. I don't think she's even reading my posts. Has really not interacted with the thread a lot. She knows she can't accuse the cleared players and if her scum-finding is all that great then why isn't she accusing scum instead of me? Willing to take credit for N3 Somber kill if it stops someone voting her.

Zoya: I found her pretty suspect early on. She seemed a bit more solvy later. Claimed tracker, not cc'd, protected by claimed doc on a night when there was only 1 kill (which is 2 nights though, no kill N1 because Cube had BP protection, 1 kill N2 and possiby because Zoya was protected, 1 kill N3), has moved her votes around in ways that made sense for town. But, RB'ed owing to duel N3 when there was only 1 kill, and TMor used doc action on her N2 which could have saved her but it could also have a jailing effect?.

*Yes, there could be only one. Either Plastic or wologar, who were janitored, could have flipped Kolat. But worst-case there are two, so executing the wrong one and the game is theirs. If they know it's only one, they can't say that because then they're outed. This is why I suggested NL.

My notes from last night doing a thought experiment:

me posted:

Night 3
Most likely to be killed–wologar
Mosts likely to be drained? Me
Most ilkely to challenge me knowing that? The drainer.
Assuming i survive i start the day voting for somber
But mycelia is also highly suspect

Obviously I didn't start the day voting for somber, nobody got drained because someber=drainer RB'd, and mycelia also dead.

Anyhow that's where I am rignt now.

The thing is, this totally seems like Snooze's scum game, it's exactly the same kind of unfounded accusation she threw at me in the other dueling game where she was scum and I was town.

But I've only ever seen Snooze's scum game. I think she was town in Ecco's big game, but there were so many players, and then it was over on D2, so I got no sense of anybody in that game.

The 16-bit retro-future of crustacean-based transportation
And so, at last, after the bloodiest night the court had seen in a long time, fingers finally converged on one person. Who can trust someone who hides their face behind a mask, after all? In the end, Snooze Cruise just sighed, and said that all she had done was for the good of Rokugan.

Snooze Cruise a.k.a. Shosuro Kakure, KOLAT-Aligned Scorpion Clan Courtier has been exiled from the court!



quote:

The Scorpion clan is sworn to protect the empire from within, yes. But what good is an empire built on the false promises of gods and an undeserving imperial line? Once mankind rules itself, then there will be an empire worth protecting. Until that day comes you will use every political trick you can muster to oust Rokugan’s unworthy rulers.

Starting Ki Pool: 10

As a night action, you may ##counterspy yourself or another player, causing any actions that attempt to investigate any aspect of that player's alignment, role or capacity to kill to fail tonight.

When you take any action, you may choose to employ your ##ninja associates to make that action undetectable by investigative abilities that detect visits. You may not do this two nights in a row.

Following Snooze's expulsion, some effort was made to discover whether any allies were left in the court. Though it was difficult to piece together the evidence, seasoned Kitsuki investigators managed to recover enough forensic remains to identify at least one other co-collaborator.

Some time ago, wologar a.k.a. Kuni Yoruko, KOLAT-Aligned Crab Clan Witch-Hunter was reduced to cinders!



quote:

Within Rokugan are several organizations devoted to the detection and suppression of heresies and dangerous magics, such as Kuni family’s school of witch-hunters, among which you rank. You are also a member of the Kolat conspiracy, which seeks to overthrow the Hantei imperial line and establish a new order with no gods or emperors.

Starting Ki Pool: 10

As a night action, you may ##investigate another player to learn whether they carry any trace of the Shadowlands taint. However, your investigation is not necessarily evidence of evil intent. A player counts as tainted if either of these conditions are true:

* That player is a threat to the Empire but not a member of your faction, or
* That player targeted such a player the same night you investigated them, or
* That player was targeted by an action taken by such a player the same night you investigated them

Each of these apply regardless of whether that action counted as a visit or not.

The investigators also discovered troubling evidence that one of their own had meet their end in a similar fashion not long ago.

Some time ago, PlasticAutomaton a.k.a. Kitsuki Yakou, EMPIRE-Aligned Dragon Clan Investigator was reduced to cinders!



quote:

The Kitsuki family are pioneers of investigative methodology. Unlike the rest of the Empire, you emphasize the need for evidence before a criminal can be brought to justice, and one of the best ways to get evidence of killing intent is by engaging the suspect directly.

Starting Ki Pool: 16

Duels you participate in cannot wound or kill your opponent unless they are dishonored. (They are still blocked from taking actions today or tonight.)

As a night action, you may ##research a player, learning their flavor name and title and the names of any actions they may have. If you dueled that player at any point, you will also learn whether that player is capable of killing (by some means other than dueling).


The following days were peaceful, comparatively speaking. No more murders occurred, and a group of witch hunters were sent to verify that no more tainted samurai remained in the court. For now, the empire is at peace. But with Hantei XXXIX on the throne, it will not last. One day, soon, Yogo Junzo will open the first Black Scroll and set in motion events that will cast Rokugan into war. But now, perhaps, the Empire will have a chance to resist. The Second Day of Thunder is fated to come, after all, and seal away the impurity of Fu Leng once more. Those that remain know it is their duty to remain loyal to the Empire until their last breath.

EMPIRE has won the game, alongside the Brotherhood of Shinsei!

Rhymes With Clue a.k.a. Kakita Zetsuran, EMPIRE-Aligned Crane Clan Duelist survived to the end!


quote:

You are a peerless duelist, masterful with the sword and elegant like your clan’s namesake. You have insight like none others into what makes someone a duelist to reckon with.

Starting Ki Pool: 16

Whenever you duel someone, whether as challenger or challenged, you will secretly be told how much total ki that player has and how much ki they bet before you make your bet. You also win tied duels.

SporkChan a.k.a. Doji Meiyo, EMPIRE-Aligned Crane Clan Shugenja survived to the end!


quote:

Politics is a battlefield like any other, and you are one of the finest warriors the Crane clan has to offer. That said, your magical talents give you an edge few others have; if someone had a little visitor in the night, you'll know. And the court will be buzzing with gossip in the morning.

Starting Ki Pool: 10

As a night action, you may magically ##watch a player, learning who visited that player tonight, if anyone.

Zoya a.k.a. Hiruma Ganbou, EMPIRE-Aligned Crab Clan Scout survived to the end!


quote:

The Crab Clan is dedicated tirelessly to fighting the demons that inhabit the Shadowlands, to safeguarding the Empire from their tainted hosts. The Hiruma family are specialists in scouting and lightning raid tactics, forming a crucial part of Rokugan's defenses against the forces of darkness.

Starting Ki Pool: 6

Your toughness allows you to ignore one wound when risking death as a result of a duel (in other words, you are not at risk of death until your third wound, rather than your second).

As a night action, you may ##track a player, learning who that player visited tonight, if anyone.


Deadmeat5150 a.k.a. Ikoma Kinjuro, EMPIRE-Aligned Lion Clan Magistrate survived to the end!


quote:

Others call you gruff. You prefer serious. You are the fist of the Emperor, maintaining his laws under the guidance of the Emerald Champion. You will not hesitate to strike swiftly when the time calls for it.

Starting Ki Pool: 10

As a one-shot public day action, you may ##condemn a dishonored player, immediately having them executed as an enemy of the Empire. (This does not end the day.) You may not use this ability before day two.

Tired Moritz a.k.a. Asako Shingetsu, EMPIRE-Aligned Phoenix Clan Shugenja survived to the end!


quote:

Like most of your fellow Phoenix, you adhere to a philosophy of pacifism, although you recognize that the subdual of criminals and traitors is necessary for the stability of the Empire. Nevertheless, you see it as your mission to maintain peace where you can.

Starting Ki Pool: 10

Duels you participate in cannot wound or kill your opponent. (They are still blocked from taking actions today or tonight.)

As a night action, you may ##protect a player, preventing a killing action from affecting them tonight. You may protect yourself, but may not protect the same player two nights in a row.

The 16-bit retro-future of crustacean-based transportation
Among the remains were found some further documents, secret messages sent to the evil-doers that had infiltrated the court.

quote:

You are secretly sworn to the Shadowlands Horde and to the ninth kami Fu Leng, whose ambition is to return to the world and take his rightful place as ruler of Rokugan. In return, he bestows great power upon you, far beyond what most mortals can ever hope to achieve.

You have access to a standard factional nightkill. Select one of you each night to perform it. That player cannot take other actions, but may use abilities that enhance the nightkill. Each of you has such an ability. Using it requires spending one favor of Jigoku. You start the game with a shared pool of three favors between you to spend this way. Each time one of you dies, you gain one additional favor.

quote:

The Kolat conspiracy is ancient, hidden in plain sight among the samurai and commoners of Rokugan, maneuvering and scheming for the day when you can finally reveal yourselves and overthrow the Hantei imperial line, ushering in a new age without gods or emperors.

This is scumchat. Due to the secretive nature of your organization, you do not have access to a normal nightkill. Instead, each night, choose one among you to perform one of these actions:

* ##mark a player for death. This visits the target but has no immediate effect. Any number of players can be marked this way.
* ##assassinate all players currently marked for death, simultaneously killing all of them. This action does not visit.

The player that performs one of these actions cannot also take other actions that night unless otherwise specified.
