Well we either got one for real or we got when one brewha turns out to be a liar.
Party poopers are not allowed.[/optimistic mode]
I don’t particularly agree with it either. I did think it was worth mentioning as a possibility: in the last game, we were assured that there would be three Witches. In this game, there is no such absolute assurance, and it could be possible (although extremely unlikely, especially if Brewha is our coroner, and so does know that DS was Cabal) that Nanook might be scum and never be counterclaimed by the Witches.
But, in merrier news, the bar’s open again for the Night! Two Conspiracy games, two cabalists downed on the first day.
If you want, you can order the old Kill the Kabal from Conspiracy One (look it up if you want, I retch at the idea of trying to remember that particular ingredient combination). However, for This Game Only, Cecil’s Tavern is offering a special drink special:
C2: The Cabal Strikes Out!
2 ounces cointreau, to symbolize the burning light of truth that the Cabal fears.
3 ounces black rum, for the sweetness of killing scum.
1 ounce lemon juice, to twist the lips of the Wolves so that they might not speak together tonight
1 drop everclear, to muddle Undead senses.
Shaken over ice, and filled to the top with diet, caffeine free cherry-vanilla Pepsi. Because I hate you guys.
Garnished, lovingly, with a tiny witch’s hat.

I’ll take one. The fifteen Margaritas were frozen not on the rocks. Only the most deperate of souls could drink a concoction that nasty. No offense Santo I think your server misunderstood.
Sadly, I haven’t any diet, caffine free cherry-vanilla pepsi, nor do I have a tiny witch’s hat. But I’ve just made the drink with regular old run of the mill diet pepsi and a jaunty umbrella. The umbrella is black and could be confused for a witch’s hat - maybe a Chinese witch?
See Shadow? That’s why I don’t envy you skeptics. I’m the only one that really gets to enjoy this moment. The only other people that know for a fact that we lynched scum aren’t too happy right now.
Dio, not to be a dick or anything, but your drink really isn’t very good. It is tolerable and it warms the tummy nice, but it’s really not that tasty. maybe if I had the right kind of soda or the withc’s hat it would taste better?
And just one last thought for the evening. Any player that wants to leave the gloves off when trying to win for the town needs to be scrutinized. I’ve said it before that I utilize different strategies based on the level of my opponents (primarily in my golf exploits). In this game there are some pretty heavy hitters. To leave something in the bag seems to be acquiescent to being in something other than a win position.
Another two cents.
Oh, I see! You’re taking my role as barman away from me? Well, fine then, but you’d better run as rockin’ a saloon as I did last time: zombie strippers in cages and fresh, disgusting drink specials each night!
I’ll leave you the joys of making those frozen margaritas, then. The blender’s broken, but the ice pick’s still sharp.
That’s what I was saying all day long! If both Pollux and I are still here tomorrow morning, my vote’s going right back on him.
<Snipped>
And this is where I have a problem. A maragarita in a blender be sucky. Deny the dark side, Anakin. Come to the light where all Margaritas are freshly made and served on the rocks.
Dio! Would you be a pal and
Doesn’t one take the gloves off when they want to inflict more damage? Just sayin’. The booze is starting to get to me. Always happens about this time of Night.

Well, before I slip off around the counter, I do think I could oblige. Let me warn you, though… the stuff in this bottle is actually 112% alcohol by volume… yeah, there’s more booze than drink in this one… but happily, I’ve been storing it at -1 kelvin… so it’ll definitely help you cool off.
I wear special gloves.
Can’t we just hug it out?
Keep in mind that it could also be a guess.
I mean, it’s not the safest guess, as I imagine there are fewer Cabalists than Wolves, but I don’t know.
Hey, even if something’s not that strong of an indicator if someone’s town or scum, sometimes we just get lucky.
Ouch! That mud stings when you sling it like that.
Sure, I could be guessing. But, that would be a pretty lousy way to guess. If there is indeed only 3 starting cabalists and 31 starting members, I’d have less than a 10% chance of guessing that one right.
And judging how messed up the final vote flurry was, I’d be better off to guess something a little more likely. If I was false claiming, I’d probably do something safer like guess town alignment and refuse to give the role. That would at least give me something more like 50% odds.
The thing about this test is that if Brewha turns out to be wrong it disproves his claim, but if he gets it right it does not prove it. It strongly supports it, true, but it does not prove it.
There are three basic possibilities if Darth S turns out to be a Cabalist.side.[ol][li]Brewha is the Coroner.[/li][li]Brewha took a lucky guess.[/li][li]Brewha got it right because he is also a Cabalist.[/ol]Now, the weakness of Option 3 is that there will be more bodies come Dawn, and Brewha will have to reveal alignments. The dead will not be chosen by the Cabal, and it would be extremely unlikely that they will all be Cabal; thus Brewha will have to guess again. He’ll slip quite quickly.[/li]
Consequently, as attractive as Option 3 appears at first glance, I don’t think it can be sustained much longer than 2. A chain of successive right answers will be strong evidence in Brewha’s favour.
We’ll see.
That’s what I call healthy skepticism. I certainly don’t expect anyone to blindly take me for my word at this point.
But, were I a Cabalist, don’t you think that I would have done more to protect my Cabal? It’d be one thing to bus D.S. if it would give me cred with the town for the rest of the game. But if I am a cabalist, I won’t be able to keep up this coroner ruse for much longer.
I’m not saying you are or you aren’t, I’m saying town should view all role claims with an extremely healthy skepticism in this game. Especially with that Bill Clinton “a versus the” thing going around.
brewha, you’re just wasting your breath… if you’re scum, you’re just saying what a Townie would say, anyway.
I propose we tread carefully, but this back and forth of “you might not be”, “yes I am”, doesn’t really accomplish much, since we’ll know for sure in a few Days, anyway. One in the hand and all that. But we’ll figure it out soon enough, regardless. IOW, defending yourself isn’t going to help at this point.
Sure, it’s not accomplishing much. But neither would by chiming in with a bunch of ‘me too’ posts during the whole CIAS/Nanook witch hunt. I didn’t chime in because I thought it a waste of breath - and I got called out as a lurker.
What’s the deal Santo? They charging you by the post? There’s only been about 6 posts today - it’s not like I’m hijacking another train of thought. There’s just nothing else to talk about right now.
Would you rather we all just sit in silence?
Well that is good news, one down, a few more to go. It was weird that he left a vote on himself, perhaps a bizarre form of suicide and the cabal secret power is to resurrect, given that they were wiped out so quickly last time, either that or we are just shy of 1000 posts with only one day down.
Well Ok, probably not, to the bar, and why are people drinking things with umbrellas, another pint with a Macallen chaser for me please.
