Pelly's Paradise Day Three: Death Knocks Thrice

[def]

The Story

Night has come, and all through the building, people are tiptoeing around.

JackJonespaw is pretty happy with his lot in life, having been able to vote on two lynches. He never hears the padded steps behind him until the last second.

"You chose the wrong boyo to mess with! I have Indy's sword!" he cries.

It's a prop sword.

Meanwhiles, Shadows is playing with his toy guns.

"Pew pew pew!" he says.

Behind him, a darker shadow approaches.

And Lady K makes Curly noises from the Three Stooges. "Nyuk nyuk nyuk!"

The end result? Three heads, arranged on the floor.

Morning comes, and the remaining crowd assembles, including one figure added for humour, and not intended to be some sort of clue.

Pelly is pleased. "..."

"Pelly would like it known, old Tammo was truly a scummo. Unfortunately for you, these three heads on the ground are not. Good luck to you today!"

Costumes

In the first 24 hours of the game, all town players must wear a costume. Scum may or may not wear a costume.

Costumes will be offered in two shifts, roughly 12 hours apart from each other. There will be two separate assortments for each shift. Players may not wear the same costume on consecutive nights.

Players who choose not to select their own costume will be randomly assigned one from the remaining stock. Costumes taken by lynched or killed players will be removed from the game and not offered again.

Players select costumes by:

1. copying the entire updated list.

2. adding their name after their choice, and striking it off the list,

ie.

Costume A

Costume B def

Costume C

etc

Failure to do either of these steps will make their selection void, and other players may feel free to make that costume their selection.<players, feel free to police yourselves on this, since I both have a job and sleep>

If this system is too confusing for you, simply do nothing and receive a random selection, with no penalties.

<ALWAYS COPY THE WHOLE LIST>

Day Three, Shift One:

1. Blackbeard's Shag

2. War Machine's Similar Helmet

3. Joker's Silly Green Hair

4. Iron Patriot's Helmet

5. Aquaman's Coif

Rules (deviations from the normal EB rules are struck-through)

1. Each player will be given a character to play, who will be aligned with either the Town or the Scum. To win the game, the Town must kill off all the Scum, while the Scum needs to outnumber the Town. Third-party (neutral) characters have their own win conditions as outlined in their roles.

2. Each day you will be able to vote to lynch a player. Voting should be done in the following format; Vote: Character (Player). Similarly, unvoting is to be done in the format; Unvote: Character (Player). No other format will be accepted. A majority vote is required to lynch a player. The player with the most votes will be lynched. In the case of a tie, the first to achieve their vote will be lynched. Voting is mandatory. Failure to vote will incur a vote penalty the following game day.

3. A game day will last a maximum of 72 hours. You may not vote in the first 24 hours. The day will end when a majority vote has been reached after 72 hours or if a unanimous vote is reached by the 48-hour point. After the day has been concluded, a night stage will commence, which will last 24 hours (or 48 hours if an emergency comes up). Night actions must be sent to the host in the first 24 20 hours of the night stage.

3.5. Players may not target the same player two nights in a row, and may not target themselves.

4. The alignment of lynched players, as well as those that died during the night, will be revealed at the beginning of the next day.

5. You may not quote or pretend to quote anything sent to you by the host via PM or by other players. No quoting PMs. That includes all the details of your character and role, as well as any night action results. Role claims and reporting of night action results are acceptable, but in your own words only. Do not attempt to use the structure of your role PM to your advantage.

6. Do not play the game outside the thread. Similarly, do not post out of character inside the thread. Game tactics and roles may only be discussed in the game thread or via PM with other players. Private discussion is done at your own risk and should be treated as part of the game.

7. If you are dead, you may not post in thread or discuss the game with any of the players. Any information you had becomes void, and may not be passed on.

8. You may not edit your posts.

9. You must post in every day thread.

10. If you encounter a problem or have a question, please contact the host via PM

11. Violation of the above rules will result in a 5 vote penalty vote penalty per every 4 living players against you, and death on your second offense.

Brick, I had serious doubt last night about the lynch, well done.

[Brickelodeon]

Well, D*ckelodeon was right after all. Tammo, you deceitful little jerk-wad, I will now disregard all of the "professional" advice you gave me on how to find scum... I told you I would be mad at you for making me feel bad if you turned out scum, so here is something I want to give you:

.|,

Lol.

Anyway, at least we know that the investigator is the real one. I want to say that I did steal the vig hat yesterday, even after I had told you guys that I had already picked a different one. My reasoning for lying to everyone was so that the scum wouldn't know who to block. I chose to kill Shadows with it, which turned out to be a poor decision after all, but it clears the air for a new day. I think Lady K's death spawned from my "I wouldn't mind if the scum killed you" post, the scum wanted to make me look bad.

Dave, who did you investigate and what was the result?

[jluck]

Before anyone selects anything else, shouldn't we pick who gets vig?

Sorry, is already selected. But I highly doubt id be a candidate for the vig anyway. Still, let's leave the vig unchosen until the investigation is revealed. If you take the vig before we have a confirmed townie, I'll vote for you.

[Brickelodeon]

I would like to say that I think Dave should take the vig hat today. Yesterday, he sent me quite a few PMs about how he was VERY upset that I was no longer voting to lynch Tammo. He was quite adamant in that he believed the cop hat wasn't insane. On the other hand, it could have been that he was trying to build trust so that he could seem town-like when Tammo flipped scum. I don't know. Thoughts?

I don't think we should make that decision until we get some more results in. There were lots of night actions last night, so there's no reason to rush to judgement.

Oops, accidentally quoted jluck

$%^#. #$^#$%#.

No, #$^%$&$^@$^%$^!

My scum-dar was SO wrong on tammo. I still don't get his plan though - why on EARTH would he come out with the vig? He HAD to know he'd get investigated and caught. Did he really go into that thinking he could pull it off? I guess so, and he did fool me and a few others.

Oh, what the heck.

It could be paranoid... but I'm just being paranoid here

Dave, who did you investigate and what was the result?

I agree with the kill choice, although it's too bad he was town. Still, we know he was telling the truth about the Draggy cop claim.

I also agree with the scum motives for killing Lady K.

JJP seems like an ideal SK kill as well.

I think we should look into all the people who tried to get a bandwagon on Shadows (town) yesterday instead of Tammo (scum). The living players who voted for Shadows at any point yesterday were:

Lego Spy, Mencot, mostlytechnic, and Walter (who voted very early on, before the bandwagon).

In fact, we could also look into the people who tried to get Lind (a random candidate) lynched instead of Tammo:

Bob, jluck, Brickelodeon, Walter

Out of these, I think Brickelodeon at this point is very unlikely to be scum. If you are, Brick, then I take my Green Hair off to you for a great bussing tactic

Just FYI guys, Tammo shut me down pretty easily yesterday. After seeing these results, I'm not going to let anyone off of the hook unless they have a Megablocking load of proof. I've learned my lesson and I'm not going to run and hide in the corner like I did yesterday, D*ckelodeon is here to stay, so get used to it.

[Piratedave84]

This was not my intent but I can confirm the cop is legitimate and as such did not want the vig to end up in scum's hands

[mostlytechnic]

Wait... this may be crazy, but what if there was a bigger ploy at work that backfired? See if you can find a hole in my hypothetical here or not...

Tammo and brick are both scum. So they knew they had the cop and vig on day 1. Didn't know there was a second cop in dragonator. So they had tammo claim and brick may or may not have actually investigated him. Doesn't matter since they're both scum. Then... brick came out wiht the scum read, assuming tammo could save himself (like he sure tried to, and when it wasn't working enough, even brick backed off him hoping to save his scumbuddy). The goal would be to make everyone think the cop was insane so that the results from it later would be interpreted wrongly.

Could that be possible? The biggest thing against it is HOW vehemently brick fought to lynch tammo yesterday. But he'd have to for it to work - anything less would have been suspicious.

It's late and I'm sick and should be in bed, so I'm assuming I'm missing something in my logic. But it crossed my mind, so I threw it out there. Thoughts?

[Dragonfire]

I've noticed that on Day Two, mostly grabbed the item that Mencot had on Day One. Now on Day Three, mostly is grabbing the item that Mencot had on Day Two. Both of them voted on the Shadows wagon yesterday. Thoughts?

[Brickelodeon]

Also, Dave. What the... Hold on a second...

[mostlytechnic]

dave - have results to share, since we know the cop is legit now (or as dragonfire pointed out, there's a tiny chance it's paranoid, but if you got a town result, then it'd be safe to say it's a legit cop for sure)?

[Brickelodeon]

Who did you investigate and what was the result. Speak up man!

Really, you think I'd be that dumb and obvious? I didn't even look at who had aquaman yesterday, the costumes were up and so I grabbed something.

I will say, I can see where Iron Patriot's helmet would be decent for the scum to take, but mencot or JJP (oh wait, he's dead) will verify that aquaman's coif is of no use to the scum whatsoever. Ergo, proof that mencot and I are not both scum. Possible that he is, but I'm not.

I thought we were going to pick a vig...I mean, a cop's better than someone random, I guess, but still...

[mostlytechnic]

Yeah, I agree with Lind. We have no proof that dave's town, so I wasn't happy to see him grab it.

[Brickelodeon]

We need to pick who will get the thief at least. Who is trust-able that hasn't already picked an item? Zepher?

[mostlytechnic]

what makes you think zeph is trustworthy?

I'm not trusting ANYONE right now. Even if dave says someone was cleared, since I don't know that DAVE is town either. And there's redirection happening... just no way to know. And I don't even trust my own reads right now.
