There's just one problem with that though. We don't win by protecting rebels. We win by eliminating the opposition:
no. we win by staying alive longer than hutts. which is not going to happen if you guys continue killing our own for no reason.
no. we win by staying alive longer than hutts. which is not going to happen if you guys continue killing our own for no reason.
And we stay alive longer than the hutts by eliminating them. They're not going to kill themselves. If Palmer is telling the truth, eliminating him does not get us closer to that goal and would basically amount to killing a rebel.
are you really that &@}#? the more rebels we kill, the less they have to. we're speeding up their win.
if we kill someone other than Palmer, in the worst case scenario it wouldn't just "basically amount to", it would literally be killing a rebel. one less for the hutts to kill, one step closer to our loss.

Speaking of combat buddies: It annoys me that you two have voted for someone different each day. The whole point of your role is you are a team that can discuss and block vote. This counter-acts mafia's ability to block vote. Right now you two might as well be ordinary rebels that give us -2 if nked.

I have to say, your aggressive style does make me believe your a rebel. Unless it's all an act to make us think that... ack, my head again.
Just wanted to see what people thought.
(He mentioned a Blarg post about him hinting about wanting Palmer detained; I feel I remember it, but can't find it), which is when I lost contact.
I mean, he was in the "Arm us after we've declined" camp, he's been very aggressive, and again, just because he was inactive at night doesn't mean that he wasn't the other Undercover Imperial.
I just can't wring a good enough argument out of it other than "He could be the UI," "he's an aggressive player" (Which a lot of players are, admittedly, even on Rebel/Village side), my teammate wants him dead, and some post that I'm now worrying I might have imagined.
And the whole "Confirmed 3rd Party" thing; it could be a lie in case someone catches on he's not a Rebel, because the one person who can detect evil is dead, but there's still a chance he's a vote that helps us out. Although as the day's nearing its end, "Most Suspicious" is still a safe vote.
Again, if Palmer is a neutral role it's the same as killing a rebel. The Hutts don't have to kill a certain amount of rebels, they just have to be half the remaining players.
5 hutts + 5 rebels is the same as 5 hutts, 4 rebels and a neutral party.
Matt admitted to being a Hutt before the edit, everyone vote him
Is there per chance a role where people are so closely knit together that they have to vote the same way?
Do the Hutts know who their fellow Hutts are?
Yes.
Also they should have a private forum to talk in.
I play a lot of Werewolf outside of the online-realm
Then this is it.
I am a Combat Buddy aligned with the Rebels. I have a role where a friend and I are allowed to discuss the game outside of the thread.
My partner is Zubz.
He basically has it covered. Combat Buddies have a Jedi Mindlink thing; we have a side-forum where we can discuss the game without trying to drop subtle hints to each other in the main thread.
I suppose it's also possible that raindoc is the second Undercover Imperial, and is using this abrasive tone to signal that fact to the Hutt players- it's certainly a tone that is unique to raindoc at this point, and is somewhat suspicious. They may be pushing for Palmer's detainment following the same logic AbsolutBro pointed out.
Palmer, as a (supposedly) neutral player, could potentially be an easier target to rally the rebels to detain than somebody who's allegiance is still in serious question. Furthermore, it pretty much is a kill that's just as good as a Rebel kill (as far as the Hutts are concerned). It's the sort of Hutt-beneficial detainment that's a little easier to disguise as Rebel-beneficial.
For the record, I'm of the opinion that if this were to be the case, it would be really risky. It would require the Rebels to be both hasty enough and shortsighted enough to not realize that Palmer's detainment helps the Hutts as much as a Rebel detainment (obviously, we almost immediately pointed out this fact). Also, I still am getting pro-town vibes from raindoc's posts, so it wouldn't be surprising for the Hutts to feel the same way. just wanted to see what
if you keep ignoring me although I've previously proven to make better decisions in the town's interest there's no point in participating in debates anymore.
sorry guys, i'm frustrated by this game. town fucked up each and every decision so far and shows great learning-resistance.
maybe you guys are having fun (i hope so, i really do), but i'd much rather be in the other game than this pub brawl.
I'll hold myself back now and watch this train wreck unfold. if you keep ignoring me although I've previously proven to make better decisions in the town's interest there's no point in participating in debates anymore.
I voted for Johnny to have the gun, so that part is just flat out incorrect.
Not sure what you mean by the bolded part. Nobody has confirmed me as a Neutral. My client MIGHT be able to(I'm not sure if they know), but definitely should not, for obvious reasons.
For now, Gun: Zubz
In case you haven't figured it out yet, I'm not technically a rebel. I'm a Neutral with a special loss condition. I'd rather not say anything specific about my role yet, as the knowledge will only help mafia.
Seems a really odd thing to say when he's a Combat Buddy. This question also seemed to come out of nowhere. He did ask it right after MattyG had posted so maybe he was expecting a reply from him.
Again why ask this sort of question if he's a Combat Buddy with Zubz? If he and Zubz have a private forum to talk in why wouldn't the Hutts? He of course posts a minute later saying it was a stupid question but it's still odd that he'd ask.
Worthy is an experienced offline Mafia player. He should know the roles pretty well unless the games he plays in just use Townie and Mafia roles. He should also know that the Hutts know who the others are.
The scenario I present is as follows:
Worthy and Zubs are both Hutts, they along with maybe another Hutt or two are discussing the game in their private forum. They see that Worthy is about to be voted out so they latch onto Ex. Worthy claims he has a role so he wont get voted out. They discuss what role they could possibly have and come up with Combat Buddies. It gives them no real power other than to vote. The tricky part is if this is true than we have two Hutts confirming themselves in front of all of us hoping we'll believe their Combat Buddy story.
One more thing before I move on. I don't know how much MattyG knows about Star Wars but I would assume he knows quite a bit seeing as how he's running a Star Wars themed game. So let's look at what Zubz said:
have a Jedi Mindlink thing
The only types of people in the Star Wars universe who can use a Force Meld / Battle Meditation are Force Users. I would think that MattyG would know this. Neither Worthy or Zubz claimed to be Force Sensitive. So maybe they're both Dark Jedi / Sith?
I actually thought I was somewhat safe from the Hutts being a Neutral, but you're right that from their win perspective, killing me is as useful as killing an Ordinary Rebel, but less useful than killing a rebel power role. On the other hand, I'm always going to be a lightning rod now. If one of the Hutts is at risk of detainment, all it takes is a few ill-informed rebels to give the Hutts exactly what they need.
Anyway, I think my vote is still on Redhood at the moment, but I seem to be alone in wanting to get rid of inactives. Other candidates seem to be me, Setre, Quantum, eJawa, and Makai.
I still think Setre is just inexperienced. If eJawa turns out to be a Hutt, or a power role, we obviously need to revisit this. This message bullshit that he and Blarg received concerns me. Blarg was lying about a lot of other things, so why not this? I guess we'll see what comes of it.
I don't particularly believe Qunatum's story, but do feel like he's rebel-aligned.
eJawa is one of the relatively inactive players I'm inclined to detain. It would also give us some valuable information about Setre. If Setre is being truthful, we probably just lose an Ordinary Rebel at worst, and an Ordinary Hutt at best. Otherwise, he hasn't given me any particular Hutt vibes.
Makai, much like Zubz, TWE, and Raindoc, seems to be using some pretty terrible logic to accuse me. I still believe that playing the game with Blarg only stood to benefit the Hutts. Of all the candidates, he seems to have done the most to hurt the rebels. Could be ignorance, could be malice. I'm not sure.
Vote: Makai
I think the main reason people suspect you Palmer is that your role is impossible to confirm, it is a fairly uncommon role (at least I think it is), and you have admittedly kept info away from us. You could very well be the unlyncher yourself with how often you change your votes! I already came to conclusion that lynching you now would be a mistake and I do think that you being a Hutt is out of the question with your previous explanation.
Sorry for my lack of posts.
@raindoc: So what would your way of winning be? Vote No Detain and hope that the cops survives long enough to find all the enemy players?
Just FYI. In the last game there was no cop at all. Two Mafia players got caught because they screwed with their postings.
By your posting style it looks like you are taking this game way to serious. Kinda reminds of on player in the last game. egruntz? But he was lynched because of it.
I might have to go back and look at that rant from egruntz to see if he was right at all.
So it really was egruntz? Good times.
I am really not sure who to vote for. I guess waiting one more night before we consider QB is acceptable.
I tend to believe the story of Palmer for now. Still is probably a good option to vote against today.
But I'll stay with my feeling from day one.
Vote: OceanicAir
Sorry.
Btw. any update on Rymuth?
I feel like I am suspected because Blarg ended up being a cop. How would you feel if he really was Undercover Imperial? Eveything you said applies to any allegiance.If Makai is hutt, accepting Blarg challenge does make sense. If he lost, he could just lie and say he is a ordinary rebel. If he won, he could hope that Blarg tells told the truth and would reveal his true role, giving the hutts needed info. Losing would put some of the spot light on him, but no more than anyone else declaring themselves a rebel.
I'm also looking at OceanicAir's posts and I'm not seeing any evidence of being a rebel. At this point, that is almost a good enough reason for a vote.

I knew dueling would draw a lot of attention to myself, but I thought getting some info on the most suspicious player in the game was worth the risk. For a little bit, it looked like it paid off. don't have a strong role like armorer or cop, so there's no hard feelings. But I did want to play for longer.

Also since OceanicAir seems to be the main competitor just now does someone (most likely Traube since he's kind of hell bent on detaining him) want to put together a quick summary on him. I'm going to go over his and zippedpinheads posts before the deadline and wouldn't mind having main arguments summarised to compare.
My strategy is to find contradictions. The outcome of the duel was not irrelevant because liars must perpetuate their lies. We're here to lynch them when they eventually slip up. e.g. Blarg was already making soft role claims and so we would lynch him if he claimed Ordinary Rebel.I should probably hop in since I feel I started aiming people towards you, and reading back my explanation was worded fairly poorly.
For me the Blarg thing was part of a pattern. Looking at your post history I thought that your posts seemed to fall into 3 main groups: Day 1, Quantums role claim and the Blarg game.
Day 1:
To me you came out the gate fast with a lot of posts. Reading them back though there wasn't a huge amount of content. Not a huge issue on day 1 really since theres not much to go on but at the time I noticed it.
Quantums role claim:
The next bout of posts was around Quantums claim to be armourer. I actually agreed with a lot of your posts here and I mentioned earlier it actually made me a bit less wary of you. Looking back though its an easy place to keep up regular posting while only really discussing something very specific.
Blarg game:
As has been mentioned its a pretty easy place to keep yourself visibly posting, but without really discussing the game. The outcome was really irrelevant since it's easy enough to lie.
Each taken on their own is fairly easily explained, but to me it stood out as a pattern of posting plenty and keeping visible at times when you didn't have to really contribute much.
As I've mentioned there are other people I'm suspicious of and if anyone else comes up as a better suspect I'll listen to the arguments and vote accordingly. If you're a Rebel and we detain you it sucks but the reasons above are as good as anything I have right now.

I still suspect Setre, but there is another player who I suspect and has a couple votes on him.
VOTE: Palmer_v1
He has already admitted to lying to encourage people to vote for Blarg ("he goes or I go"). He is potentially hazardous to us if he is a Serial Killer. I do not think he is being honest about his role.
You say you look for contradictions, and then fail to point out a single one I've made while voting for me. At least be honest and admit that you're just trying to bus me to save your own skin.
Why did you say either you dies or Blarg dies on Day 2?
Bluffing at that point. I was trying to get Blarg to back down so we could lynch someone else, but he wasn't going to drop the act.
You lied so people voted for Blarg instead of you:
You are a neutral, not a Hutt.Fucking bullshit. As far as I can tell, I had a single vote on me yesterday, and it was from TheWorthyEdge. He did end up changing his vote to Blarg, but I was never in danger of detainment yesterday. Again, I can't decide if you're being deliberately misleading, or just not fact-checking. Either way, it's detrimental.
Also, your proof of my contradictions is a lie I told, and then willingly admitted to after I realized it was a mistake. That is surely some damning evidence.
Once more, I ask everyone that thinks I might be a Hutt, why would any Hutt in their right mind do any of the stuff I've done? Suspicions about my Neutral role are warranted, but I honestly do not understand why anyone would think I'm a Hutt.
Preparing a vote count now.
You are a neutral, not a Hutt.
Preparing a vote count now.
