First, 'elim' suggests you have reason to believe the people I accused are innocent. If so, I'm certain we'd all like to hear why. Second of all, can you explain in what world someone trying to find the elims is suspected of being one, while someone trying to lynch someone that explicitly isn't an elim should be trusted? I think the chances are slim but I won't rule out the possibility of you being an elim. But that's all it is, paranoia, if you will. For second part: We're 'trying' to tie an elim with bleeder but that never equates to the certainty of having a definite anti-village faction. Also bussing exists: example Sart in the recent QF. I mean, I think it's good to have healthy paranoia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know what would be a bigger reason than that. Also it could easily be that you're lying about one of your roles and in the case of a tie,you can move a vote yourself onto your counter-wagon. If we are to take what you said as the truth about not being able to perform actions as you want due to being cornered by the elims, then pyro has been leading us on for a good few cycles onto non-elim lynches, which was actually the case. Though I have to give you credit for doing this well after outing as bleeder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The push on Silberfarben is actually a good example of this. At least one of Silberfarben and Zillah is evil, so even if the silberfarben lynch is a miss, it'll still give us an elim. And I find it really odd I need to tell you this. 'We might not get an elim' has never been a reason not to try. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

'We might not get an elim' has never been a reason not to try. I agree with everything. As long as there wasn't an outed anti-village faction(not exactly faction, I know) which isn't a benefit keeping alive for village. And they still don't die may I remind you. Bugsy has also admitted (as a half- threat (or maybe a full-on threat), I believe) they will continue placing kills which will either be redirected to villagers or he will be roleblocked. Anyways, it's just my opinion on the current course of action but nothing that I'm 100% on, so I do concede, we can try lynching an elim but I have a feeling either this or next cycle may be make or break for village regarding bleeder.

Kynedath Posted June 7, 2020 Report Share Posted June 7, 2020 Sorry I've been off guys, but for the sake of my mental health I built a giant blanket fort in my room yesterday and didn't really get a chance to get on. I scanned Experience last cycle. They came back as bodyguard. Experience I'm sorry if I shouldn't have revealed that, I understand it makes you a target, but if I had said "I can't say" then it would have put a target on your back anyway since the elims would know it's a valuable role. This way the village gets the info, I don't look suspicious by holding back information, and the elims might not kill you since that would cast suspicion onto you. Also I think you can protect yourself? So that makes it harder to kill you and more of an IKYN 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have had three active escorts though, and I doubt all of them are evil. So I think bleeder can be contained even if we fail at tying them up twice in a row. Like I've been saying though, I'm not saying 'ignore bleeder' I'm saying 'tie bleeder with a suspected elim to get the double lynch'. If we focus fully on bleeder, it means we're handing two to three kills (depending on whether a villager can roleblock bleeder next turn) to the elims for free. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devotary of Spontaneity Posted June 7, 2020 Report Share Posted June 7, 2020 3 hours ago, DeTess said: I'm fine with a Silberfarben lynch as well. Either Silberfarben or Coda is fine with me, and if Silberfarben is more likely to happen this cycle then that's the lynch I'll settle for, especially because, even in the unlikely event of Silberfarben being village, we still get an elim (Zillah, in this case) out of the deal because of TJ's role analysis. C6 when I said that Silb wasn't the one who attacked you, it was because I'd asked that Silb be redirected to Bugsy C5 at Pyro's request. Since the extortionist's action was successful but Bugsy's vote was not moved, Silb can't be an impersonator. It's possible I'm being fooled here, since it was Pyro who directed me to this extortionist(Winsting) C5, presumably after the elims had decided they weren't going to help the village find Bleeder. One possibility is that impersonator!Silb submitted an action to redirect someone's vote to Xino, and the target of Xino remained even after Winsting's redirect. I'm not entirely sure if that's how things work. Another possibility is that the person I contacted wasn't Winsting, though that's not super likely.

It doesn’t work out the way Sart is pretending it does. There are 17 people remaining. I am one of them. Presumably around 5 of them are eliminators. That means it currently stands at about 11 - 1 - 5. This cycle, I will be lynched and survive. A villager will be killed. That puts us at 10 - 1 - 5. The cycle after, I will be lynched again. A villager will be killed by the elims, and another will be killed when they redirect me. That puts us at 8 - 0 - 5. wait, I read the bolded as you saying you're submitting a kill whenever possible.

Reason: Busgy is over-exagerating our bad position. Quite a few elims are down. Best thing for bugsy is delay and try to hunt elim, because with a decent case on him by one the elims as a bleeder and he could be a runaway wagon. Plus he gets more time to get winstig. Honestly if I were bleeder and I didn't want to be a tool for the elims, I wouldn't submit an action to be redirected. Bugsy has made this attempt and fair enough. Time to level the ground and at least bring bugsy in danger. Everyone is playing to their win-con. Pyro and bugsy were and are both furthering their wincon. And it is definitely more fun Bugsy This. Thank you. 50 minutes ago, Mist said: Could I get a vote count? br (1): mist bugsy (4): silber, sart, megasif, matrim silber (3): bugsy, detess, experience detess (1): emi (Yes, it is wilson-ifyed. Why do you ask?) So, after further consideration, I am moving my vote back off BR and back onto Bugsy, partly because I don't see the Silber lynch and partly because I realized from the elim perspective that having Bleeder as a sort of weapon for them to use is a huge advantage, and in the event of a tie might go as far as to save Bugsy to get that extra kill every cycle. So my vote is moving back to keep Bugsy ahead to preserve the lynch and make sure that doesn't happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mist she/her Posted June 7, 2020 Report Share Posted June 7, 2020 BR I looked at Silberfaben. He hasn't been very alignment indicative. Aside from that, no reason for suspicion that I noticed. Bugsy, however, has claimed Bleeder. While Bleeder is alive, we can lose in one cycle. I'm more concerned about Bleeder than Silber. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Megasif he/him Posted June 8, 2020 Report Share Posted June 8, 2020 Bugsy, I may have a change of heart. I feel like I owe you a tie at least. However, I reread the rules and we can't win together. If we disperse party, then even with one elim alive, elims win. We can't risk it because we are not told if all elims are gone. Plus we may not have enough awake players. If winsting dies, you win as game's over. You're right that you can't do anything, but elims can still kill winsting (by accident). Hmm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Joe in the Bush Posted June 8, 2020 Author Report Share Posted June 8, 2020 A few people have asked this, and I know I clarified it earlier, but I cannot find nor remember my decision, so this Clarification overwrites previous Clarifications. Extortionists only change the primary target of their victim. This means that if an Extortionist (Player A) targets another Extortionist or an Impersonator, the Extortionist only changes who their victim (Player B ) targets (Player C), not who their Victim (Player B ) choose to be targeted (Player D). Example: Impersonator Wilson has Alvron vote for Mailliw. Extortionist HemaHead makes Wilson target Straw. Wilson now moves Straw's vote to Mailliw. I hope this clears things up.

Hmm I’m not aiming to win. I fully expect and am resigned to being killed at some point this game. I just want vengeance on the elims before then And the elims know who Winsting is, so it’s doubtful they’d kill him accidentally. I think the bigger village concern is that if I die, they can kill Winsting freely, and take out a big village asset in doing so Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bugsy he/him Posted June 8, 2020 Report Share Posted June 8, 2020 Vote Count: Bugsy (5): silber, sart, megasif, matrim, mist Silber (3): bugsy, detess, experience DeTess (1): emi @Sart @Megasif @Matrim's_Dice @Mist, if you want this cycle to actually be productive for the village, please move your vote to Silber. He's one of two possibilities for the elim's remaining vote manipulation, and if we can remove that ability from their arsenal, we can ensure that future village lynch efforts are way more successful. If we kill him and he's an elim, perfect. If not, we know for a fact that Zillah is, per TJ's analysis and confirmed by DeTess. @Emi, DeTess is about as cleared as you can get. Please consider switching your vote to Silber, that's something that would be super helpful to the village. @xinoehp512, @Devotary of Spontaneity, @Kynedath, you all are presumptive villagers. You have a chance to benefit the village here. Silber - a likely elim - started the lynch train on me, it was continued under false pretenses, and then it was shored up when people started switching off. That's all super sketchy, and I'm sure some of your biggest elim suspects are a part of it. They're trying to save Silber. Please vote before the cycle ends, and at least give the village a tie. The elims have vote manipulation left. So does Sart. I think the breakdown most likely to give us a tie is when Silber has 2 more votes than me, and that means we need a swing of 4. If anyone voting for me right now swaps trains, they'd account for half of what we need. Please do this before the cycle end - it literally costs the village nothing, and could be super advantageous. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not many huge reasons, I just don't see a reason for Bugsy to be lying, and their math seems really sound. So I'm going to trust them since they have less to gain from leading us on a wild goose chase than Pyro did. Additionally their tone seems really guenuine.

So Silber could be an impersonator, but if so Pyro spent a lot of effort trying to convince me that was not the case back before there was reason to believe Silber was an impersonator. If Pyro and Silber were teammates, I'd assume Pyro would want to live C5 and attempt to do so be having a vote be moved from Pyro to Xino. This didn't happen because Pyro made sure Silber's action was redirected to you, who was already voting for Xino. This ultimately wouldn't have mattered, but had the votes stayed the same as they were when I got Pyro's PM, impersonating a vote to Xino would have saved Pyro. Is there a reason for Silber being an elim other than being an impersonator? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
