Mafia 43 - Bladerunner

[Soothsayer]

Porro i have no idea why we didn't have a code last night or whether one was received or not so i can not help you there. It just seems that you are very keen to get rid of me.

if this makes things easier...
unvote: bremmer

as i have said before i was just theorising as to who could be guilty nothing more so don't look into it

[Porro]

HD, I was thinking of sweetwater...who continues to remain noticable by his/her absence.

[Handsome Dan]

Ah I thought so. It just seemed suspiscious that you didn't want to disclose who you would kill even though there was only one unknown left. Mith's comment made me a little paranoid. :-p

[sweetwater]

I have no abilities other than cook, and I can do no harm.

So can anybody answer this, before the evildoers kill me at night: why shouldn't we lynch a rep today?

[Porro]

Sweetwater, read the last few pages of the thread

[Porro]

Sweetwater, a synopsis:

We the replicants say, the corp exist, the corp are bad and their win scenario is to kill everyone else.

There are only two people left whose roles are uncorroberated by fellow players. Thus these players are the prime corp suspects. It is thus a good idea to lynch them.

If the 'town' does not fully trust the replicants, this lynch of a non-replicant does still not endanger the town, since the NRG majority can be maintained overnight by mith.

I don't see any reason to lynch a replicant today, unless the town does a u-turn and suddenly decides that we are the mafia and we made it all up about the corp. Even then the only possible benefit would be that 'more' townies survived. Adopting the tactics I noted last page, at worst will ensure that all the replicants die before all the townies, thus a win for the town (if we are the mafia, which we are not - but I understand your hesitation to believe that).

Do you have a good reason to lynch a replicant today sweetwater? Have I overlooked something, or are you just starting to sweat you (possible) corp scum?

Unvote: Sooth
Vote: sweetwater

For a couple of reasons

What do you have to say for yourself chef?

[Porro]

BTW I'll post my reasons later.

I gotta go to a graduation this weekend. I'll be back on Sunday night to catch up. (don't start the night without me )

[Handsome Dan]

Ok, I'm back what happened while I was gone?

[Samadhi]

[Bremmer]

The general state of confusion isn't really helping things along. There is only one person playing this game who really knows whats going on, and I'm begining to come around to Porro's way of thinking. Sweetwater's lack of involvement and slightly odd suggestion that we lynch another replicant are starting to prey on my mind.

Unvote : Soothsayer
Vote : Sweetwater

I suggest that neither the replicants or the bladerunners kill tonight, and that we go for Soothsayer tommorrow if we fail to get a code tonight.

[mole]

unvote: Sooth

Vote: sweetwater

[Porro]

Reasons as promised:

Sooth voted early(ish) for both 'corp' lynch victims. His 'shoot from the hip' vote for mith today also tallies with his previous voting style this game (last 10 or so pages). Of course the aggressive voting style is a bit suspicious, and he could have voted for the lynches to distance himself from his fellow corp.

But, Sweetwater voted for neither corp lynch, but had no hesitation voting for a rep lynch yesterday. Sweetwater has been very quiet (at least for the last 10 or so pages), and hasn't really done anything to assist the town.

IMO, after checking back over the last half of the thread, I now think Sweetwater is more suspicious.

I also second the suggestion of no kills tonight

[Porro]

mith, will you agree to no kills tonight?

What happened to the old plans? They seemed to work fine. When is it that you get a code, before or after you make a choice during the night? If it's after the night choice is made, I can see the logic of putting this off. But if you find out whether or not a person is corp before you make your night choice, why can't we go ahead as planned?

[sweetwater]

It is lost.

Only the replicants can kill. We should kill the killers, but none of you will listen. You don't deserve to live.

You all have the IQ of a broccoli.

Please send choices. Deadline Midnight Wednesday May 22.

[Handsome Dan]

Since we all agreed to plans before, but only the replicants have expressed that they want to go back on them I will be sending a choice to mith. I will send the choice as Zephyr, because he seems to be the least vocal of the three of you.

Mith, we need your input here. I think its better to go with the original plan and make the two kills to move forward. Make a proper decision. If the replicants have already sent a choice or send a choice before you respond they have changed the plans and betrayed our trust, so you should say yes to my request to kill one of them. Also, if we stick to the original plans to kill two people, you should say yes to my request. Only if you feel we are somehow better off by dragging this out even more should you say no.

Hopefully mith will respond soon and this can be resolved. I hope no choices have been sent yet.

[Handsome Dan]

PS I'm not sending mith the choice just yet. If there's a better replicant for the sacrifice, let me know. If you don't want to divulge that information, its understandable.

Actually, for this reason I'll hold off on sending a choice until further notice, it will probably prove more useful once we figure out a plan. Dang, I wish mith were here.

::ALL Good morning everyone. I regret to inform you that two of you are no longer with us.
Soothsayer has been torn limb from limb. Such violence could only have been achieved by a Nexus 6 replicant. He was human. His shopping cart filled with useless knick knacks pegs him as a transient.
Bremmer has been shot with a laser pistol a weapon favored by bladerunners. He was the replicant Roy Batty.

With 5 remaining "persons", 3 votes are required for irradiation.

Have a nice day.

[mole]

So that's the last unknown then... We're left with two replicants, two bladerunners and me.

What's the status of the codes?

[Porro]

No code from sweetwater, we won't find out about sooth until tonight :0\

[Porro]

BTW HD/mith why did you kill Bremmer, rather than Zephyr or me?

[Ghost Post]

Bah

[mith]

because I figured if HD was telling me one thing, and you guys were telling me another, I'd just be different. :P

really, it's 'cause I still don't trust you. sorry. something about the whole 5 replicants/4 corp thing isn't working. seems like you might've made up the 4 corp thing when you were trying to hide porro.

*~waits for mole again ~*

[Bremmer]

... All these thing will be lost - like tears in rain.

:'-(

[Ghost Post]

Sooth is still listed as alive on page 1.

[Handsome Dan]

Mith, I think they might've made up the whole 4 corp thing too. We only have proof that there was one corp, Dr. Tyrell (I think he was the only corp character in the movie too), the other "two" are a mystery still and the replicants keep holding us back saying they're still looking for that "fourth code".

It would maker much more sense if Dr. Tyrell was the only corp character with his own abilities (perhaps a vigilante?), and the replicants have been making the kills this whole time. The idea of a vigilante (even if it wasn't Tyrell) might explain why there were two kills in one night, but only once.

Of course this means that the replicants had to have made all those other kills, which isn't too implausible if you look at the kills. Crazycellist, who challenged Antrax, died twice. Mudster was supposed to be their ally, but even in the movie Roy kills him after his usefulness is over. Killing Antrax, like killing mudster, also could fit in as an effort to show that they aren't making the kills, oh no, why would they kill their allies? Antrax came out in the first round, and later on all but Porro were out in the open (because of a lie). It makes perfect sense to sacrifice a couple allies to seal the deal. You come out with your allies and kill a couple, what could be more convincing?

[HyToFry]

Fixed.
