Screamers Mafia

Cool, I’m ready when you are AllWalker

I hope we don’t have to wait too long.

AllWalker’s last post was on the 4th, a day before dusk. His last activity was on the 5th, shortly after Night started but he didn’t comment on Scuba’s death or make a post. This’ll be the first time he’s missed a leader vote.

Quick note on One’s claim: It’s either accurate or he’s the Serial Killer; there’s no way a scum would claim to be a role cop with a Serial Killer on the loose.

Oh, excellent point. You’re probably right.

Sorry guys, I lost net access over the weekend. Shouldn’t be much of a problem, but I was not expecting to be out of action at all, let alone for so long.

I will happily claim.

I am a Lucky Miner - the role is sometimes referred to as a Town Toughguy. As such, I am lucky enough to survive one and only one NK against me. As of this moment I have had no indication that I have been targeted yet, but I don’t know whether I would be told or not. It might explain one of the recent Nights with unusually low NKs, though.

Oh and unless it is too late

Elect Tom

I’m not sure who to trust, but I don’t want a tie.

I’m an average miner (citizen, Vanilla Town).

It makes an odd sort of sense to have one role that survives a DK and one that survives a NK.

Of course, that says nothing about alignment

Fair point. With multiple killing powers out there, possibly not aligned with each other, the bad guys could benefit from some NK protection.

I can’t prove the claim. Without a Town Vig we can’t even test the claim. All I can say is that it is a useful balancing power for a Townie to have, though I can’t pretend a 3rd party wouldn’t benefit from it enormously.

Whatever. I claimed honestly, nothing more I can do.

Leader Count:
Drain Bead (3): Tom Scud, Guiri, OaOW
Tom Scud (4): Digger, Tilty, Norma, DB
USCD (1): USCD
Oh yeah, that’s right.

Tom is leader.

Hi Guys,

I don’t have a huge list of reasoning for why I targeted whom when. Remember I don’t get alignment just role, so any of you looked as good as any other for an investigation. The idea for me was just to get as many data points as possible, to hopefully catch someone in a lie at some point.

When I get a nothing result, I am assuming my target was a vanilla, either of town or scum.

If all three of Tiltawhirl, AllWalker and I are Town, I will laugh. Evil-ish would be a good description.

I’m the Town Bomb. (Role name is Veteran.) Color, with some generous paraphrasing: I’ve used my extensive knowledge of munitions to ensure I can take down any Screamer that attacks me, and if I’m lynched – well, that surely indicates nefarious behavior as well, so the bomb goes off then too. The details are that I will die along with anyone who attacks me at night, or along with the last person to vote for me if I’m lynched.

I kinda love the role, and I have high hopes that with Chronos gone, it still stands a chance of giving the Scum indigestion. I can’t rule out them having another role that can neutralize me, though.

Obviously I can’t confirm myself, short of death, but there were a couple points in the game where knowledge of my role affected how I responded to things; I’ll go digging for them later.

I am a bureaucrat otherwise known as vanilla town.

So, putting aside the hunt for scum for the moment, OaOW’s results have given us a big leg up on the hunt for the Serial Killer. If he himself is not the Serial Killer, he’s going to be the SK’s target number one, so I think we can for the moment rule him out, to be revisited if he’s still alive Tomorrow. (Could a SK leave him alive in hopes of getting him lynched? Sure, but it would be hella risky, since even if he doesn’t finger the SK, he narrows the field, which is already pretty narrow, and could be narrowed further depending on who we lynch.)

The four people OaOW listed are certainly not Serial Killers, since he is either (a) Town and thus telling the truth or (b) the SK himself, and thus…

So that leaves tilt, Normal, AllWalker, and USCDiver as our SK suspects.

AllWalker and Normal both have claimed roles that, if false, would be awesome false-claims for a SK to make, as the scum will concentrate their night-kills elsewhere, since

(1) they can win even if they don’t kill either of them overnight.
(2) the SK has been (aside from Jimmy) working in scum’s favor.

If Tilt is a serial killer, she’s probably not lying about the “escape the lynch” power, since it pretty much invites people to test it via lynch. How likely is it that she has both powers? (Honest question, I’m unsure).

I believe this to be a great claim for a SK or scum to hide behind, but if you’re telling the truth it’s also a good opportunity.

I propose we lynch Normal, and the town chooses who places the last vote ( I am happy to do it myself if necessary).

If Normal is lying - bonus dead scum/SK

If Normal is telling the truth, the person the town fins most suspicious goes down with Normal.

What do you think guys?

Oh, I guess there could be a Godfather SK. I THINK that one’s probably too Gastardly, but I guess it’s possible.

Thinking about Digger’s plan (not an endorsement) - the obvious flaw is what happens if the most-suspicious-person unvotes at the last minute (if scum) thus taking out two Town, which combined with 2 night kills would be enough to throw the game to a 3-person scum team.

To deal with that, we could have a Normal self-vote as the next-to-last vote and pile enough votes on the suspicious person that they will pull Normal into a tie with them if they unvote, allowing the Leader (which is to say me) to break the tie in Suspicious Person’s favor.

I’m not necessarily endorsing this plan, btw. Just thinking how best to make it work.

we would then have a nailed on lynch the next day regardless of what happened with Normal.

Best case

last second unvote, Normal flips SK/scum, next day we lynch the last second unvoter

Or

we engineer a tie between Normal and designated most suspicious. Most suspicous breaks the tie by voting Normal. If he changes vote at last minute we have a tie again and Leader decides

We could line it up so the votes looked like this after my leader-vote:

Normal Phase (4): voter1, voter2, voter3, Normal Phase
Suspicious Person (4): voter4, voter5, voter6, Tom Scud.

Then Suspicious Person’s only chance of avoiding a lynch would be to vote Normal. I guess the other problem here would be, “what if Normal switches HER vote at the last minute”.
