    Day 3

    democratic-donkey.png

    Chairperson TRV called Day 3 to order, after the troubles were pointed out under kime's leadership. That was enough. Kime was removed so quickly, he wasn't even allowed to defend himself.

    MagicPrime was lurking in the back rooms, looking to set up some nasty plans against the OPhalla Loyalists, as ordered by Chairperson kime. He wasn't as suspicious as kime but he also wasn't as observant. He spoke to a delegate who seemed to like what he was selling but then that delegate had him removed from the building, without even an explanation.

    T_A was pleased with having just removed MagicPrime, an obvious threat to the party. He was on his way to report it to the new Chairperson when he ran into a big-name player of the party. Hell, he would tell him of his smart move. The power player was interested but also seemed annoyed. T_A was escorted out without delay.

    Tzeenchling was enjoying moving things around to his liking, as he had just done so with T_A. Perhaps this convention would turn out satisfactorily for him. After all, he didn't really have anything against OPhalla and he wanted Phallary to remain in her post. That's what made him so open to talking to the group that approached him with a plan to help both. Too bad, this plan involved him being removed from the hall as quickly as he had had the others removed.

    Enlightenedbum was a great delegate. So enlightened and such a bum. He had a real heart for the people of his district and wanted to really help them. That's not what the group he fell in with backstage had in mind, though, and he was sent back to his district ASAP.


    kime - Sarah Phallan, a Rephallacan role blocker - Removed By Committee
    MagicPrime - Non-Loyal Member - Removed by Loyal Member
    T_A - Phallacratic Vigilante - Removed By Power Player
    tzeenchling - William Phallason Clinton, SK Survivor Neutral - Removed By Non-Loyal Group
    Enlightenedbum - Phallacrat - Removed By Non-Loyal Group

    tzeenchling has left the game un-victorious.

    @undergroundmonorail is on Inactivus warning.
    Sir Fabulous is being replaced. Player named soon.

    Please vote in bold dodgerblue for the Chairperson of Day 4, whose vote will count as 3 votes for this day.
    Close for this vote is the same as the close for End of Day.


    Day 4 has started.
    PM's going out now.
    It ends Sunday, 11 PM EDT.

    Player List -

    2. TheRoadVirus
    5. Alegis
    7. Kilnaga
    8. Capfalcon
    9. ObiFett
    10. Megafrost
    14. Zombie Hero
    15. undergroundmonorail
    17. SeGaTai
    19. Maximus
    21. Bedlam
    22. Cayrus
    24. CesareB
    26. Phyphor
    27. Sir Fabulous Assuran
    30. Gizzy

    16 left. Assuming standard Phalla ratios, that means there are 4 mafia left.

    TRV is essentially confirmed, so we can eliminate him.

    I mean, I could vote for Underground or Maximus, but they appear to just be lazy villagers.

    I can't really find anything outstanding about the mafia vote records, Kime red voted for SLyM and Premium, and Magic voted for MrT, Premium, and Kime.

    Kime and Magic both blue voted for Kime on day 1, then Magic switched off to TRV starting the next day for blue votes. Kime always blue voted for himself.

    Could be labeling. Non-loyal member for regular mafioso, rephallacan for mafia specials.

    It's quite convenient their roleblocker is gone; in case TRV was the seer himself. Also opens up the door for vig public reveal but the vig is now dead ..

    TRV

    As for day 1; unless mafia was close to getting voted out I think mafia would be more reluctant than willing to implicate themselves by blue voting Kime.
    Kime didn't get close to voted out (1 vote). What slightly surprises me (from the votes overview) is a pile of blue votes on someone who voted as sole person on someone (phyphor on segatai). To keep the vote safe as mafias I'd either want the blue vote to go to someone supporting a village wagon, or on someone whose 'vote boosting' wouldn't matter.
    Still I think my reasoning above is 'nice theory', but not enough trails as evidence. Something to consider when we know more about the alignments.

    I'm certainly voting for TRV. It's bad to red vote before coffee though.

    I agree that the vote record doesn't look particularly damning for anyone. Cayrus maybe?

    Also, TRV may or may not make an announcement tonight. Either way, red votes are going to give us a better record to go by than blue ones. This is no time to hide in a corner.

    Good morning, and thank you for your continued trust. While we have suffered many losses it is entirely possible for us to win this. Follow your hearts, and I will endeavor to provide more guidance if the opportunity presents itself

    TRV-no surprise there

    Read through MagicPrime's posts and couldn't find anything useful-voted for all 3 vote leaders-little reason given.

    Alegis ?-really capfalcon is the only other name that has come up so seems like an easy thing to try and start going today, hard to figure much out about replacements. I'm guessing people are going to go along with whatever TRV does even if he says its not a network call.

    So, this may seem like some backwards thinking - but if I pick a name that keeps popping up on good and bad votes - CesareB - and I assume that he is village, I then become suspicious of everyone who has voted for him red or blue. Blue is suspicious b/c I assume a mafia would avoid blue voting another mafia. Red is suspicious b/c I assume a mafia would pretend to be a villager and set their red vote somewhere randomish that is not a bandwagon on day 1 and day 2.

    What this comes to is that I'm looking at you Bedlam, Kilnaga, and ZH!

    If I hit that right, then I would think Cayrus and Capfalcon are village.

    For now, imma put my vote on Kilnaga

    Cool, I'm going to steal this and build off of it. I know I'm village, but ZH was a name that stuck out to me on my fast pass back through the thread.

    I'm going to put a tentative vote on Zombie Hero for now. After I get off work and go back over the thread/vote records a little more thoroughly I should have a better idea of where I want to lock in my vote.

    I think you need to recheck your definition of skirting. He's actually well below the activity threshold, as he completely missed the vote, what 2 days in a row now? That sounds more like somebody who had other shit going on than somebody intentionally skirting inactivity to remain off our radar. Not that that means he isn't mafia, as I'm sure those guys have lives too and could end up in the same situation. I just think its a crap reason for a vote (At least it is in his case. If you want to throw the book at somebody else for actually skirting inactivity, go right ahead.).

    But all he has is a warning.

    If he had been taken out last night due to inactivity I would buy it. But for some reason he is still around.
