So back to work. Let's see how will this new number will begin....
Mmmm.....
Okay, you didn't kill the bat. Even worse, two of you have died.
That's a sarcastic clap by the way.
Maybe I had too high hopes for all of you. You have a simple task: to kill the bat. How hard can it be? Are you doing it on purpose? Do you like to make me suffer? It shouldn't be that hard.
I'm really angry. I'm soo pissed that I don't even want to write how Scarecrown and Calendar Man died. I will start the new comic with a small bubble only saying "Scarecrow and Calendar Man died" in comic sans.
I'm THAT pissed.
*Splinter has died!
Kalor has died!
This day will be a double lynch. The 2 most voted players will be lynched.
Day 2 Begins
No Mayority rule today.
Please check you PMs before you post.
The two top voted players will be lynched. If No Lynch is one of the top 2 only one lynch will happen. If only one player is voted the second lynch is a No Lynch.
Since there's no majority set, I'm guessing the two people with the most votes gets axed? And if there's a tie for second, whoever got to that vote count first.
I'd guess the same for a three/four way split for first or whatever, maybe fran could give us a bit of clarity.
If there is a tie in the first place both are lynched. If there is a tie in the second place is a no lynch as usual.
gotcha
So then the smart play here is to only lynch one person, whether that means making "No lynch" first or second in vote count shouldn't make a difference, right? Is there a positive to two lynches that I'm not thinking of, I can't think of any? (Unless we have two confirmed scum somehow).
And a 3 way for first place? No lynch?
A double lynch so early? Perfect.
A few things I noticed around day end. The first is more obvious and kind of meta I guess, Terra (Flame) clearly isn't scum. At first I thought he tied that vote at the very end but knowing that Lifeline was town means that made no sense at all for a scum player to do so unless he was so disillusioned that he didn't mind spitting in the face of teammates that he knew about and then still going through with being replaced. So cool to kind of have a clear even if the method was sketchy.
Second thing that bugged me is that there were a few people who wanted to take the moral high ground and vote off wagon, more so than normal it felt like which is why it felt screwy trying to keep up with where the vote was since the number of people on wagon was low. Does it mean much? I'm not sure honestly since two of the off wagon voters are dead and were town. And even past that, I look at Mazre and unless Terra is scum, his vote makes no sense from a scum perspective so while it bugged me, it still comes out seeming town-ish to me.
Also, while I was writing this, I went back to go see recent posts:
No one actually likes Retro so I assume this is a mechanic

Aside from the logistics behind setting that up being difficult, lynching is how we gain information and taking advantage of a dual lynch is usually a good thing. Also, call back to night vale where we lynched two scum with our double lynch and didn't have a confirmed check on either.
That's a good question. The 2 players who got to the most votes earlier will be lynched, that includes No Lynch (so only one lynch).
Would it really be that hard when we have a running vote count that's usually up to date. Why not just put No Lynch in the lead with like 5/6 votes, then continue our second lynch as normal.
I suppose the problem I see with the idea is that we could have people hide behind an easy vote?
That and you've now distilled the voting pool. Those 5 or 6 people are now tied up in a vote and if scum can avoid being a part of those 5 or 6, they now have a much bigger voice for one day. That and I don't know if you followed the roller coaster at last day end but we had a running vote count and I still thought the day had tied and ended in a no lynch at the very end.

I think we can be pretty sure that is the case that Flame is not scum. I don't think scum Terra would suicide or be as mad with the game if he were scum.
The late voting was pretty confusing, I was around but didn't switch my vote because it never was clear which train was in the lead and I was of the opinion both were Town so I had no preference on who was lynched.
Not a big fan of these last minute no impact votes. It was clearly a back and forth pull at day end and you two chose to take yourselves out of the equation and let others control the results which very well could have been a tie in the end had votes not shifted enough in the last moment.
I went back and forth on what to think of your posts at the day end. You voted Terra right after I did, but you were a bit less vocal about it. You shortly after indicated that you may even be leaning towards a lifeline vote. Yet, when the time game you felt more at ease just sitting on your vote. Scum not caring about the results perhaps.

I was against a no-lynch d1, and I'm against using one of our double votes on a no-lynch now. We win be eliminating all threats to town, lynching is our best and possibly only method of doing so.
(It should go without saying that if you know otherwise, don't say anything.)
(It should go without saying that if you know otherwise, don't say anything.)
I did follow the end of day, at least after it happened, and I could tell that you weren't sure of the vote count. However, I feel like if we're careful then we can avoid a messy day end. Besides, if someone comes in at the last moments and wrecks our plans, that's a great candidate to look at on day 3, right?
I get your concern about giving a stronger voice to a select few, but ideally we'll know where everyone wants to settle and can use that information for day 3.
While we're at it, two kills and I'm not exactly sure what to make of it. Initial gut is Splinter was the scum kill and Kalor was either a vig kill or a SK trying to look like a vig. Though Splinter was less active than normal, he didn't really garner any real heat from what I remember.
I read it as something else actually, just on instinct really, nothing to make me feel that way for sure. I feel like it was some sort of Role/Attack duplication or someone somehow linked the two of them together? I dunno, just a guess. Role madness, right?
I'll go with occam's razor, role madness doesn't always mean out of left field crazy. We already found the switcher which is one of the "craziest" roles we can get as it can mess with all PRs and throw suspicion on any actions done (in that way, not going to lie that day 1 end wasn't the worst thing in the world), it at least means there doesn't need to be that shadow of doubt if we ever get investigation results. Instead we can deal with the shadow of doubt at a framer or godfather.

My gut leans to Kalor being the scum kill. He was a contender for lynch target, so by killing him they force the conversation to start almost from the top.
Since I'm going to be a bit more scarce while I'm getting ready for work, let me do this
VOTE: AbsolutBro
Barring the complete inactives, you're the one I want to hear the most from at this point. I know you made posts day 1 and I pointed it out a few times but I feel like those posts told me nothing. I'd like more thoughts and reads from you at this point.
Other honorable mentions for the same issue include Zipped, MickD (who I'm willing to throw into the double lynch on principle since we get a free lynch which is the perfect time for policy), and StarSketch.

or ascetic
Why would scum want that though? Just makes it more likely we'll pick them out. Gafia 3 is a great example of why it's good for scum to leave the other lynch candidates alive for another day.
Long Live RetroMG, Magnanimous ruler of Gafia
Conversely, why not just let discussion center around Kalor today and take out someone else? Conversation from the start could also mean a scum target comes into view.
Also, Natiko, can you post again? I wanna see if that last line shows up again.
Yes, post while I am looking \back at the player list to see who I was forgetting.
Like Natiko just said too, why? If Kalor is a contender for lynch target, why not just leave him there to get lynched and kill someone who town is trusting?
Ascetic is easier though since you are just getting "no result" instead of a wrong result.

It's shown up 3 or 4 times already, I'm kind of numb to the jokey curse mechanic at this point so meh. I'm sure it has the usual stipulation of the cursed not being able to talk about it as well.
Just so we are clear about voting and double lynch.
Top two in votes will be killed
A 2nd place tie will result in only the 1st place player being lynched.
A 1st place tie between more than 2 players will lynch the 2 players who received their votes first
With 21 players it will take 7 votes to lynch a player (unless it is a 7-7-7 tie)

I was given no stipulation that I can't address it, but I don't see much to gain by talking in-depth about it either. It has to be in all my posts or I die.

Just so you know, I made my vote having not seen your vote yet. Also, I posted my reasoning for voting Terra in several posts (as well as discussing it with them), maybe look back through my post history after voting Terra a little closer.
I have no scruples in saying I was also considering a vote for Lifeline from around the time I voted Terra until the end of the day, but I decided to stick with Terra in the end.
