A Wizards True Name - Night 3

[Red Skeezix]

Day 3 was progressing swimmingly, and the huddled cliques began assembling their opinions. By lunchtime it was decided that Colby11 was obviously confused about his name, and maybe not even a wizard, and that probably meant he was evil. By afternoon tea, he had been bludgeoned with a make shift hammer consisting of a a brick fine cheese duck-taped to length of pipe.

Colby11 aka Ark Windson, a Town Wizard, is dead.

Night 3 begins now and will end on 3/22/2015 @ 7pm EDT.

[TexCat]

I am totally clueless. I thought for sure that Zuma and Colby were both scum. Is this some kind of gastard all town game?

[Dizzymrslizzy]

Just repeating this for the RIPs for the Night Time Thread...

So I propose for tonight one of two things:

It looks like the pairings are:
Guiri/Chaos
Mahaloth/Dizzy
Gnarly/Giraffe

Gnarly has been in an investigation with 4 out of 5 options. His only option left is Giraffe.

Do we all just cross?

[Dizzymrslizzy]

And I have absolutely no clue what to make of the whole Colby thing....It's baffling. Colby's a good player. Yeah one night of bad luck missing everything is one thing. But on N2 to knowingly join in a RIP circle of investigations when you are a ARK. I don't get it.

[Mahaloth]

I'm not sure who to investigate anymore.

[LightFoot]

butt busy day at work

it makes sense for me to investigate Mrs M I think - unless I am too tired to see the trees

[TexCat]

I'm going to suggest the following:

For the Arks,
Buff investigates SisC
SisC -> MrsMc
MrsMc -> Buff

I'm leaving Lightfoot out because she's already proven incompatible with everyone in the Ark group. The above should complete the investigations of the Ark group.

Gnarly -> Giraffe
Giraffe -> Dizzy
Dizzy -> Mahaloth
Mahaloth -> Guiri
Guiri -> Chaos
Chaos-> Visor
Visor -> Scathach
Scathach -> Texcat
Texcat -> Lightfoot
Lightfoot -> Gnarly

We should then have the only remaining possibility in the Rip group:
Maha - Chaos

[TexCat]

I think it's become obvious that not everyone has a twin. We've seen 4 different last names now. If there are 4 scum, (and where tf are they), they could all have a different last name. In the group of 6 Arks, there might only be 2 sets of twins.

So far we have 6 Arks, 6 Rips, and 4 Itos. I'm guessing that Visor has to be an Ito. I know that the other Itos are town. Does that mean that Visor is scum?

[Mahaloth]

I'm cool with Texcat's idea.

There is a chance of dupes at this point. if I got this right?

[TexCat]

I don't think my list had any dupes, but it did have some that are unlikely to produce results.

[LightFoot]

Dizzy had suggestions too so we should try not to dupicate

[LightFoot]

my question I guess is are we following Tex and not dizzY ( except where there are overlaps) or would the group like to look/suggest another game plan

[gnarlycharlie]

sorry i missed EOD. despite his error. i think that Colby shouldn't have been lynched by showing knowledge of his name without another player giving clues to it for him to have guessed it.

again charlie I don't track your statement= he was claiming ( or leading us to believe) all possible names but his own. until the end

[gnarlycharlie]

i see now that Day ended early because of the hammer. oh well.

[Colby11]

I see how it is people... Real smooth....

I'm out of here, catch you guys when I can seriously give mafia games my attention

[guiri]

[/oog I do not understand how someone who has designed and moderated many games can intentionally sabotage another game. Messing up a Night action once may be understandable, but doing it a second time is simply anti-game and disrespectful towards the other players and moderator, good riddance.]

Lightfoot's pair could have been Colby, I don't think Lightfoot should investigate Gnarly if there's a Rip who needs to investigate him.

I agree that Visor is likely an Ito, and very likely scum, but hey, actions, words and intentions don't seem to be indicative of alignment in this game...

I suggest Chaos should investigate within the Rip group, and leave Visor for Lightfoot, for example.

Gnarly -> Giraffe
Giraffe -> Dizzy
Dizzy -> Mahaloth
Mahaloth -> Guiri
Guiri ->Chaos
Chaos -> Gnarly

Remember that there are likely 3 or 4 scum who are lying about their investigation results, matches, and lack of matches, are to be taken with a pinch of salt unless mutually confirmed, and even then with hesitation.

he gave the Bruce breadcrumb before anyone talked about Ark. whatever bis missteps were, that was indicative of his townieness.

i investigated Chaos and got no result. reversing roles would be useless.

I disagree; that clue was vague enough to lead to anything at all, which added fuel to the scummy-seeming fire. Watch this:


When I gave the "Bruce" clue, I was referring to The Golden Boys, starring Bruce Dern and...Rip Torn. So obviously I knew I was named Rip!

When I gave the "Bruce" clue, I was referring to Bruce Jenner, who's married to Kris Jenner, ex-wife of Robert Kardashian, who was part of the OJ Simpson defense team, and we all know the judge in that trial was Lance Ito, so obviously I knew I was named Ito!

When I gave the "Bruce" clue, I was referring to "Bruce's Ark", the world's largest privately constructed nuclear fallout shelter. So obviously I knew I was named Ark!

except that he was town... and blatant anti-town behavior isn't his scum play nor is it for most players. your examples seem quite well thought out. are you scum by any chance?

That's why I suggested crossing with the final pairings!

Guiri/Chaos
Mahaloth/Dizzy
Gnarly/Giraffe

yet another set of suggestions ( some matching)

[LightFoot]

should players pick one and confirm here-

[TexCat]

Eliminate my suggestions, Lightfoot, since they seem to be causing more confusion than anything.

Dizzy, most of the Rips still have 2 unmatched? I think we should try to get both of those matches done tonight. Your method of crossing eliminates only 1 match. That's why I would prefer Guiri's method.

[Giraffe]

I can't believe Colby was Town. From his death comment, I guess he just didn't have time to pay attention to the game, but still. That's fucked up.

As for the investigations, I'm more comfortable with guiri setting the list than TexCat or Dizzymrslizzy. I have the strongest Town lean on guiri given her N0 breadcrumb, so her choosing investigations reduces the odds that scum are manipulating it to hide themselves. Barring any changes, I'll plan to investigate Dizzy. (I'll wait to submit my PM until tomorrow in case someone has an argument for a different order that makes sense.)

[LightFoot]

Guiri's suggestions make sense but that is only a portion of the population

Not sure what to do with the Itos

''' wanders off to spread sheet

[LightFoot]

in the Arks-
Sis makes buff town
LF no match to buff or sis
buff no match LF ( unknown HS)
Mrs M makes HS town no match LF

buff > Mrs M> sis makes sense to me
if you want cross verification ( although I think it too early in game)
sis>LF

leaves me out so would you like me to look at an Ito or visor?

[Mrs McGinty]

I've sent orders to investigate bufftabby, but can change that if people prefer Lightfoot's selection.

[bufftabby]

Texcat's and Lightfoot's suggestions appear equally valid. Either way has me return investigating sistercoyote, which is what I think needs to happen anyway, so that's what I'll be doing.

[LightFoot]

NETA Sis C did you do anything N1 that would effect this matrix? ( I don't have any notes of your N1)

[LightFoot]

that would leave us with
Tex makes scat town no match visor
scat may match bill no match tex (?)
LF
visor

- if I didn't miss anything


with the wonky results between tex and scat - scat should retry tex

that leaves LF and Tex and Visor w/o a suggested target [vs scat visor and ? uninvestigated] "?" my math may be confused- did I miss someone?

scathach since you are 1/2 town do you want to decide the last 3 pairings?

[LightFoot]

Dizzy can you and Guiri agree for a comprehensive investigation plan of your group?

[guiri]

I'll investigate Chaos, as all the permutations suggest. I don't feel strongly about my plan but think it covers a decent number of possibilities. Don't have time or spreadsheet access to give any more guidance but I think we're agreeing on the following:
Gnarly -> Giraffe
Giraffe -> Dizzy
Dizzy -> Mahaloth
Mahaloth -> Guiri
Guiri ->Chaos
Chaos -> Gnarly
McGinty - Bufftabby
Bufftabby - Sister Coyote
SisterCoyote - McGinty
Scathach - Texcat
Texcat - Lightfoot
Lightfoot - Visor
Visor - Scathach

[Visorslash]

Yes, I'm an Ito. I got a no result on Scathach and a no result on texcat night 1. Both claimed Ito so I scanned them. If I messed up someone's investigation, I'm sorry, I haven't being paying very close attention to this game, I missed most of the first day, and I just haven't bothered posting much as I feel completely out of the game as I missed most of the discussion.

It occurs to me that there doesn't have to be a perfect match with players, with so many possible detectives, surely it could be possible to put in a 'godfather' whose name simply isn't completely duplicated.

I've already scanned Scathach and got a no result, I'd prefer not to waste any more time so if you have an alternate target it'd be good to hear it.

[TexCat]

I'm going to sit on my hands tonight. I've already investigated Visor and I've already got results on Scathach. Too bad Zuma didn't claim Ito before being lynched. I could have investigated her.

[TexCat]

Visor, I think Scathach should investigate me again. So if you are an Ito, I think that leaves you to sit on your hands as well.

[Mahaloth]

I have submitted an order to investigate guiri.

[Giraffe]

PM'd an order to investigate Dizzy.

so.... the two of you don't investigate anyone?

[Mrs McGinty]

Okay, I'll leave my orders as they were.

[LightFoot]

Night should be done now- right?

[TexCat]

Yep. I hope we get some useful results soon.

[Mahaloth]

Just waiting, I guess.

[Red Skeezix]

My apologies for the late update. I have had a pretty nasty headache for the last 5 or 6 hours, and have been unable to leave a pitch black room for most of that time. I will be posting Day shortly however.

[Red Skeezix]

Day 4 is up.
