The Sun stayed up longer than ever, but the Survivors had little to discuss.
They slowly gathered around CardinalFang, and slit his throat.
But who was CardinalFang?
And now on Lost:
You have killed CardinalFang, who was Claire Littleton, and Ordinary Survivor.
It is now Night. Day begins at noon on Wednesday, July 29.
I’m thinking of shrinking Days down to 24 hours. Keep in mind I will not allow a Day to occur on the weekend entirely, but any “weekday” Day will be 24 hours, starting with toMorrow. Is this acceptable to everyone?**
Well, that settles matters then. Just to make the case crystal-clear:
1: There is no way the game could have conceivably been balanced with only three Scum.
2: Therefore we started with at least four Scum.
3: We have killed two Scum that we know of.
4: There is at most one Scum alive right now, or the game would be over with a Scum victory.
5: Therefore we must have killed a Scum without knowing it.
6: The only person we killed without learning alignment was USCDiver.
7: Therefore USCDiver was Scum.
8: Jimmy Chitwood claimed absolute knowledge that USCDiver was Town.
9: Therefore Jimmy Chitwood was lying.
10: Therefore Jimmy Chitwood is Scum.
Here is the list of who Died, in order, with their role, and the post # and link for Mahaloth’s announcement. I have marked the Scum in red and USCDiver in dark orchid.
If two Scum remained, they would have won.
:: Therefore, exactly one Scum remains.
If USCDiver was Town, we would have started with three Scum.
Three Scum, including one roleblocker, would be sorely underpowered against four Town roles and 14 total Town.
:: Therefore, USCDiver was probably Scum.
Jimmy told us USCDiver was Town.
:: Therefore, Jimmy probably lied.
If Jimmy was Town, he had no reason to lie about USCDiver’s role.
:: Therefore Jimmy is Scum.
I concur with Chronos; pending a third (Telcontar) check of reasoning, we kill Jimmy and avenge the mislynch of cardinal_fang.
Jimmy, would you prefer a straight blade or a curved blade?
I concur in every respect. Let’s revisit story’s analysis:
He’s actually shorting the town advantage, town gets +1 points for a day start. So there really have to have been 4 mafia. Scuba’s post count and my recollection both confirm that we’ve killed 2 scum publicly and only have one unknown death. Unless there are somehow two living mafia, that must mean the unknown death was actually scum. If diver had been scum, jimmy would have known due to smoke monster. Therefore jimmy lied. Therefore jimmy is scum.
We’ll probably wake up to a dead chronos, which will be rather sad. But then we will avenge him and live out our days peacefully in this island paradise.
Will both of you be online Wednesday? As long as you both have a chance to vote, I see no reason not to shorten the Day to 24 hours, as Mahaloth suggests.
Unless Jimmy has the most awesome defense imaginable, we’re just waiting for Dawn so we can cast our votes. I see no reason to stretch things out any longer than we have to.
I enjoyed my first crack at this – thanks for putting up with me. Have fun the rest of the game.
Nanook: Spirit Martini, please. Gin. Very dry. Very cold. With some of those ghost olives stuffed with bleu cheese. Not that ethereal kind! The good stuff…
Sorry, I don’t do the bartender thing. I’m more of the cranky old ghost who hangs out in the corner grumbling about how much better things were when I was alive.
I will be on tomorrow so, Jimmy, feel free to try to change my mind. Unfortunately the game math really does dictate your guilt, so I’m pretty much set.
