    Mr. Blarney loves math. If he isn't spewing as much information as usual, kill him.

    Protip: If you want to know what side I'm on, ask Infidel. If he's not a baddie (and probably even when he is), you'll likely get an accurate assessment. *shake fist*

    In regards to the vote, one strategy for analysis when the vote bandwagons quickly onto a single person and vote records are not so useful (since everyone's voting the same) is voting order. In past games, hosts have noted that the baddies tend to vote in groups due to how they discuss strategies with each other. While keeping track of these things does take more work (spreadsheets are your friends), it can be a worthy avenue of analysis to find the badguys. It's hard to fake randomness when you have so much control!

    The moral of this story is, you can't trust your friends.

    If you're "Evil" and one of your friends/teammates is dying to the vote. You can, and probably should, vote for your teammate. It sucks that you have to vote off a teammate, but it can definitely help shield you from the angry village. Not always recommended, but it can help

    Night 1

    120px-Rory.png

    "Pick me! Pick me!" said Goose!, the Rashberry. "I love being broken open! It's fun!"

    "It's not like that this time," said Paulie. "This time, it's for real."

    "WHAT?!" exclaimed Goose!, horrified.

    "GET HIM!"

    "Rashberries smell!" shouted moleface. "And you were trying to take all that candy I found earlier!"
    180px-Unknownbird.jpg

    Goose! looked at the Juicygoose with wide eyes. "You ATE it?! That was sour candy!"

    "Wha-Wha-What?!"
    BOOM!

    Tatters of paper and pieces of cardboard rained down over the group, followed by black, vile candy.

    "You killed him!" decried a Squazzil, pointing at Goose!. "After him!"


    In his final moments, thousands of colors flashed in front of Goose!'s eyes.


    After the dust had cleared, the piñatas looked up.

    "What have we done?" asked Fergie Fudgehog, a tear in his eye.

    Paulie looked sternly at the group. "What we had to do. Hey, what happened to sportzboytjw?!"
    fizzlybear.jpg

    Everyone looked at the broken Fizzlybear, candy strewn over the grass. It seemed obvious that at least one piñata had taken the search for the sours into his - or her - own papery hands.

    "We can't trust anyone," Hudson neighed. "We've got to keep looking for the sours..."


    Night 1 Obituary

    Goose! (Rashberry - Villager) - didn't think other piñatas had it in them
    moleface (Juicygoose - Villager) - should have spent more time checking his safe candy guidebook
    sportzboytjw (Fizzlybear -Villager) - torn to itty bitty piñata tatters

    Night 2 ends tomorrow at 10:00 PM CDT (-5:00 UTC). PM's going out now.

    Bold your votes. It's necessary, and helpful to those other players that are trying to count votes to help the game out.

    It seems like a small thing, but it really is nicey nice to do.

    I'm going with WilDPanthA05 on this one, that was definately a revenge killing. Whether it was a Vig kill or not remains to be seen.

    If the vote, vigilante target, baddie kill, and guard are randomly chosen, there's a better than 1 in 4 chance (I think) that three village-aligned players will be eliminated, resulting in a two-day win for the good guys.

    In actuality, we can hope that this percentage is lower than that. The seer has information about one player's alignment to work with. There are post histories, voting records and trends to look at. The village needs at least a 2/3 hit rate to win this game - it will take some work, but victory is not yet impossible.

    That was definitely my first thought. I am pretty sure it was a vig kill because it was all like "and while no one was looking someone took matters into their own hands and blarg sportzboy is dead"

    I really don't buy the bullshit of wanting to make a "unanimous" vote for someone when there were 3 votes for 3 other people. I also think you are trying to lay low.

    I also think it is safe to assume that the baddies will need to talk strategy before deciding how to vote, so I would be very suspicious of how the rest of the people vote. I wouldn't be surprised if only one of them has voted so far, and they have 3 votes left to go.

    Bwanie if you are evil or the vig you would be very bad at it. Or so good at it you pretend to not pretend to be bad? You know pull some double/triple reverse psychology on us. I really want to believe you vig killed sportz, but that would be just as convient as the reasons we all voted for goose.

    Unless Doxa has a damn good excuse I think we should take him out. Even if Bwanie is evil... there are still 3 other evils we need to find. I really think that if better evidence for bwanie being evil comes out, it would be much easier for me to vote for him.

    We really need to kill 2 evils tonight to get an edge, but if we are able to get just one of them, we will be in MUCH better shape.

    I personally did not think Goose would actually try and sway attention from himself that way,.

    So i was almost certain he was innocent. But in these beginner games, anyone who does not vote for the bandwagon is immedeately suscpicious.

    why, even getting voted for makes you suspicious it seems :|
