    I haven't been posting much, but I really have nothing to say.

    I didn't play the previous games. I didn't even read the previous games. I don't know much about the characters or factions or abilities. I'd love to be able to contribute to the discussion of who to kill first but it's not like we have too many great targets to vote for and we need to narrow it down.

    Players by number of posts, sorted low to high. Red numbers are below average. Good luck.

    One post below average?

    NOT ANYMORE
    Wouldn't that just tie you with T_A? making you still be sub-average? :P

    Did we ever figure out what faction, if any, The Ender was in? Cause he had high resistances too, like T_A supposedly does. That probably doesn't connect them, but it might be something to consider.

    I asked for a clarification in the thread last night, but as far as I can tell @the supercomputer hasn't responded yet

    The Ender's text in the kill list is not in need of alteration.

    Eh, even though I still disagree with peccavi's arguments about neutral rather than mafia hunting (which is exactly what the mafia would want us to do :P), Discussion has convinced me that Anialos' empty posts are probably more fruitful a line of inquiry

    Basically: we are not so overwhelmed with vote targets that we need to be arguing about who to kill first.

    I like that the average vote that I'm being compared against is wildly scaled by the number of posts that munkus and TRV have made. Main potential vote target is T_A so far but would like to see what he has to say. Having villagers/neutrals with high defense seems good to keep around but telling everyone what type of damage he is immune to seems to be a sure fire way of making sure someone kills him.

    Further: the bottom quartile has the highest concentration of mafia and subfaction. Living members with <= 12 posts: Void Slayer, Pharezon, Nirya, Ringo (not entirely fair), tastypastry, That Dave Fella, schuss.

    So. In the Sandman game, jdarksun (a villager) complains at the end of the game about the chasing of inactives:
    jdarksun wrote:
    Crusading against the inactive is a time-honored tradition rooted in idiocy.


    And yet in this game, for some reason, he's actively pushing the idea that the mafia is hiding amongst the inactives.

    So yeah, like I said yesterday:

    If you're village, I know exactly how it will impact things. Less room for mafia to hide. You seriously can't be annoyed for getting offed after being inactive for two days. You should have been inactivused anyway.

    Edit: And for the record, I wanted to move forward on Phyphor today. The rest of the village just saw you as a better target, apparently.
    I'm annoyed that people keep thinking activity is indicative of anything. If I was supposed to be inactivus'd, let it happen. Mafia aren't reliably less active, that's a myth mafia gleefully bandwagon behind.

    It's nice to see that I'm so well-loved. However, it seems I need to correct a few...misguided assumptions about my part to play.

    I am part of a chaotic group tasked with eliminating the Renegade. Naturally, this means we are well-prepared to deal with strong adversaries. However, last night I was hit by a significantly powerful attack. As I am a robot (and thus immune to such trivial things as poison and psionics) I would appreciate any repairs and guards sent my way.

    In the meantime, you are strongly encouraged to vote for 38thDoe, as he lead the assault on me last night, and our intel suggests his goal is specifically to eliminate us, when our very existence was meant to be secret.

    I'm tasked with eliminating the cult and the chaotic group The Anonymous is part of. Having no idea who those people are and sharing the elimination of the cult with the village, I was just attacking suspicious people. T_A was on my list, and survived my hit. So I tried again with more people.

    Me? You'll notice my initial reasoning and questions were answered. My secondary suspicion that I mentioned earlier is now my vote. /shrug

    Edit: So, you are both parts of the competing non-village factions tasked with killing each other? Makes so much sense now. Hmmm, who to vote for. Crap...can't change without making a tie.

    I was doubting T_A was village because of the non-faction specific information I had gathered. That combined with posting and voting records made them my best guess at the time. A few others seemed to agree, while a few pointed out possible gaps in my logic. In one of my posts I asked T_A to explain their position and made it clear I had a second suspicion. T_A has answered the questions from my posts and the information matches that I have gleamed from other sources. My reaction to this was to go with my second choice. Assuming T_A and 38thdoe are being forthright we know the following:

    T_A is Chaos with high personal defense, decent attack, and a defense ability.

    38thdoe is an Outsider with high enough attack to greatly wound T_A, which make me think high attack.

    Since I'd rather be hunting mafia than the other factions at this point, I'm looking for a new vote target. Unfortunately those are the top two votes and separated only by my vote, so I can't switch just yet.

    We've also learned when I get bored at work I sometimes use my posts as a thread of consciousness which may or may not be entirely accurate =p.

    Well, given that the village seems to be making good strides in eliminating outsiders, but not so much at chaotics...

    We should really find a potential mafia target instead, anyway

    Can I ask why? We've already hit two dudes that came up Outsider. Voting out another of them doesn't put the mafia / Cultist Armada any closer to victory (since they need to outnumber the village / Arcadians), and it does put us closer to our victory condition (eliminate the forces of the Cultist Armada and the (Chaotic or Outsider) sub-faction).

    Or am I missing something?

    Edit: As opposed to voting out a villager (which furthers the mafia's goals).

    Holy crap, I agree with Spoit. Although if we can't find a mafia, it wouldn't hurt to kill off another Outsider.

    Ok, yeah jdarksun with that contradictory thing about inactivity from this to last thread, combined with how it does bring the mafia victory closer, since the more people they have, the easier it is for them to outnumber the remaining people, and win, whether the remaining people are village, chaotic, or outsiders

    Possible Mafia: Langly - Melding died to a massive telekinetic attack, just like Gumpy, the narration made it seem like Gumpy was killed by cultists. The only guard that could corroborate Langly's story does the same night? Suspicious (though heavy was attacked by a robot. Doubt the cultists have a robot).

    Voting off a villager instead of an outsider does reduce the amount of people dedicated to a village victory, though.

    I mean, not necessarily, but they have different goals and aren't necessarily out to help forever.
