The Innsmouth Look game thread.

[Mantisdreamz]

It doesn't look like anyone mentioned it around there at least. But I didn't find that super suspicious, I think that's a pretty normal worry when someone lynch votes themselves.

i guess so. just found it a bit odd on reread - because Ob went into quite the detail with the role description, that along with her demeanour on day 1 made it pretty believable that it was true.

[oblivion]

after Ob outted her role, Charlou had suspicion and suspected a jester till more info was given. I find this suspicious of Charlou for some reason.

Though that could be because my initial reaction was "oh ok" ... did anyone else suspect that Ob was jestering?

I didn't find the jester comment odd. I would have gotten pretty squinty-eyed if NOBODY had raised that possibility.

The next post:

http://rationalia.com/forum/viewtopic.p ... 00#p909211

seemed a little strange.

That plus the kinda long pause from Athene after her first post about my role out, then asking about night chat of all things, and then another pause of over an hour before her next post suggesting we let scum kill me rather than lynch me yesterday. That post, on the face of it seemed to come from a place of town reasoning. But hour pause, while she was still visible at the bottom of the page made me think about what was going on in the scumboard about then. I pointed out the long time plus her constant appearance in the forum and she said something about browser tabs.

My understanding is that if we are inactive for more than 5 minutes, we disappear from the list of people browsing a forum.

I'm left wondering still about Athene. And remember - Diva was really onto r.c the 1st day. She said that his focus on Irre was somewhat strange.

11 players. 5 town gone. And we don't know if the 2nd kill is vig or sk. If it's sk we don't know if the win condition is survivor or last Great Old One standing. Zigmen was suspicious to a few people, so it's the sort of SK that could be credibly claimed as a vig kill if the SK wants to go that direction.

Tomorrow we could be down to 8 players if the vig/sk strikes again. if I'm NKed tonight then the next game-DAY that we have could see us at SIX players. If I am NOT NKed tonight, then town is even more boned.

We need to get it right today.

[Uselesstwit]

that night chat question from athene is really really odd. Also the way ksen just appears when char asks him a question but just answers about the flavor, doesn't get into the best course of action for town at all. That's someone who doesn't care about town and is lurking, that equals a good scum indicator to me.

##vote ksen##

Iron, you're still here, could you tell us if what irre said matches up with what happened to you last night?

[Mantisdreamz]

mostly getting town vibes off b.ternarius now too

[Ironclad]

Ironclad, you were probably blocked last night. the vision doesn't hold a message about the identity of scum.

you were dead set on ksen yesterday. what hppened?

What happened?! I was given a vision, "strange winged creatures" in a nightmare city.
I have my suspicions of Ksen, I still do; however this dream changes things a little. I still think Ksen is scum, and NOW I have my eye on UT too; BUT Mantisdreamz must be dragged to the altar imvho.

I've vote Charlou for Mayor, she is the only one I can trust right now. Feck isn't raising eyebrows either, or many other. However, as I said early Day-2, we must not be distracted by Oblivion and her crazed words - I swears she is wearing a 3-belled hat..

Brothers & Sisters of Innsmouth, look carefully at the words of MDz, UT & Ob. Ob is going to get us all killed if we follow her, too random, too crazed, we must focus!

@UT, let me get back to you shortly, I missed Irr's words.

keep in mind we didn't see the single gunshot victim last night either, so that might have been a one shot vig kill or he may have been blocked, in which case the game might end if scum kill you tonight. if we do face 6 kills in a row there was never a chance for town to win imo. I'm starting to think that town is boned either way. Your role is just to much of a penalty for town to overcome.

Yeah, I'm hoping that Aza is just changing up the kill descriptions, because 3 full-role killers in a 16 player game PLUS the double-night possibility is insanely unbalanced against town. We'd need a fucking swiss army knife full of specials to balance that.

[oblivion]

Ironclad, what makes you think your vision has something to do with Mantis?

Not staged. ob's day one posts seemed off to me, and her explanation for it was going back to old school mafia gameplay (my words, but that's the upshot) and I decided to accept that .. then she dropped the princess thing into day two out of the blue and I was thrown. Maybe I shouldn't have been .. new (to me) roles are surfacing all the time ... but I was. Then I remembered that ob's not given to bullshit ime, and that when I've distrusted her I've been wrong, so I decided to continue trusting her this game too. I pretty much posted stream of consciously as all that went through my mind.

[charlou]

Ironclad, what makes you think your vision has something to do with Mantis?

Ironclad mentioned mantis in relation to ksen on day two as well .. Will find the post ...

[Uselesstwit]

Fuck! Ob I'm sorry i didn't listen to you about lynching you yesterday. I got caught up in my own role to much and messed it up for town. It really does get so much worse for us the later your kill happens.

[b.ternarius]

I suggested yesterday that scum might not kill Oblivion, preferring to wait until it was more advantageous. I think scum almost have to take that route tonight - town numbers are down and a two night run will take them down even further, especially if the sk/vig takes out another one or two town.

The game seems curiously unbalanced, which makes me wonder if there is a mitigating factor we don't know about.

What do you all think about ironclad's 'kill mantisdreams' vision?
