Just to clarify: The Dark Lord assumed there was only one spy. The Dark Lord is not all-knowing.

----

Nagini the snake bites off Chaz's face, revealing that he is... Severus Snape, Headmaster of Hogwarts and Redoubled Agent against Voldemort.

Quote:
You are Severus Snape, Death Eater and Spy against Voldemort. Once per night, you can send the name of one player to me. If they are not Voldemort, then they will die. If they are Voldemort, nothing will happen. If asked to claim, you will say that you are Severus Snape, Death Eater. When investigated, you will return "Death Eater" due to your awesome Occlumency abilities. You win if all Death Eaters are neutralized. You may or may not have an ally, but it is up to you to find your ally.


There is still a danger to the Death Eaters. It is now night. You may continue to discuss things. Remember, votes do not count at night. Night 1 ends in 48 hours or when all power roles have acted.

You did, Sentran, though I'll take some of the credit, too. I was about to say that we should look through his posts for distancing, but from the mod's post, it seems he didn't know who his spy-buddy was. We'll have to look through others' posts to see who was distancing himself from Chaz, on the assumption that the other person knew.

uh excuse me you two I believe I get credit for having the balls to make him a viable lynch at L-1. Oh well I can share the glory. FOS Jedo you didnt want to lynch Chaz and you refused to believe there might be 2 spies.

Actually, UM, you and Quail both did that, because I had unvoted him after you voted. I only had unvoted because my first vote for him was just a joke.

raekuul, It would really be great if you would post an official vote count at least in the official lynch message. Here is what it looks to me that it was (from starting at post 49 and working forwards).

Chaz - MNOWAX, Sentran, Undercover Monk, Quailman, Zag
Undercover Monk (2) - Jedo the Jedi, Sniklac16
Quailman - equestrian
Sentran - Chaz

---------------

So, what have we got? Jedo was rather vociferously trying to keep us from sending the snake at Chaz, but I'm not sure he would do that if he was Chaz's spy buddy. He would probably keep a lower profile. My favorite choice right now is Sniklac. His post #90 sounds phony, like he's distancing, not like he really suspects something, and he hasn't posted since then.

Heck, I'll get the ball rolling: vote: Sniklac

To both Zag and UM, I meant about calling his role, not the lynch itself. I believe that was a well-earned group effort.
Now on to the other scum...
I do not believe that the other scum were voting for Chaz in a game so small. Everyone who changed their votes FROM Chaz switched back and were instrumental in the lynch. That being said, I'd like to hear from Jedo, Equestrian, and Snik, as they were the only ones not voting for Chaz. I'd bet my wand that at least one of those 3 are scum.

As for the two spy thing, it was pretty clear in the first post there is only one spy. I think this second spy was a modus ex machina so the game wouldn't end after only one day. That's what I would do so the town couldn't break the game.

You want to go poking your fingers at the other players, but the best place to hide right now is in plain sight. I will hedge my bets and say it is one of you three. I'll wait and see.

Speculation: I'm struck that Quail was killed. If there is a recruiting element, I would have recruited him. If not, I would have killed one of the main Chaz lynchers. Quail is just a strange choice.

well like i stated the only reason i wasn't voting for Chaz was because I thought he played a good game in both depp and Sopranos and didn't want to bring the hammer down so soon, but would have if said anything else that sounded scummy. And the reason I haven't posted much lately is because of my work schedule and personal family issues. But personally I think mnowax has been very quiet and hasn't really contributed anything of importance so for now I'm going to vote mnowax

I'll agree that one should always be trying to win. I believe that I was doing that.

I disagree that policy lynches are incompatible with trying to win. Chaz seemed to me to be a likely suspect -- as convincingly as you ever get on the first day -- plus he is known to sabotage townie efforts even when he is a townie. The latter part (the policy part) is, I believe, perfectly relevant. It wasn't enough to convict him just on its own, but it did tip the scales for me, since they were leaning that way anyway.

I doubt raekuul would do this. Any decent mod, if he had planned a game with only one mafia and a recruiting option, would understand that the game might end on the first day with one lucky (or very clever Enthusiastic Grin) lynch. I would hope he would have the integrity to stick with it if that was the approach. Using your approach, randomly choosing one person to be scum, would leave the town with no information gained from the first day. We have to be able to infer from people's posts, to see the phony ones. If that person didn't even know that he was scum on day 1, there is nothing to be learned.

Let me put it this way: I'll be pretty annoyed with raekuul if that's what he did.

This is the first interesting point you've made. Why was Quail chosen? The answer could lead us to the other spy.

His only votes were for me (in the initial joking around period) and then to put Chaz at L-1. Only equestrian voted for him, in a move that I found suspicious enough to vote for her for. (posts 51 and 54). I haven't studied all of Q's posts to find whom he was suspecting, but I'm running out of time. I'll do it later. But this much gives me a little more suspicion of equestrian, but not really enough to act on.

It's not unbelievable. Look at the Jr. Cop role (or whatever it's called) where he knows he will replace the cop if the cop dies. I could see something like that for this game. A person becomes the spy if the spy dies in the first day. If the original doesn't die on the first day, the game should still be long enough to be worth playing because of the recruiting element (if that's even part of what is going on). Maybe they are even the first auto recruit if the original survives day one. It's not outlandish, but it is a backdoor.

I'm going back with my vote: Undercover Monk. My comment about being in plain sight was less about posts or something related and more about being seen catching the scum. If the current spy (because let's be honest, the game certainly couldn't have started with more than two) didn't know Chaz, it would be good to be seen by everybody else to be against him. It's like bussing, but not such a negative impact because they weren't together to begin with. Like if there were two gangs who had a mole in the FBI. The FBI suspects there is a mole, so one guy busses the other guy and now the heat is off him and it's no big deal because they were only enemies of my enemy but not really friends. (You get the idea.)

Meh. It's not inconceivable, but I'll be reluctant to be in another game of raekuul's if he has.

Sentran, as I said, I also have some suspicion on equestrian, and I could be convinced to change my vote to her if there is additional evidence that I haven't noticed. What is your reasoning?

Sorry for the double post, I need to say more. (Preview! Remember to preview!)

The difference what you are suggesting and a Deputy or Nurse role is that promoting them to cop and doc does not change their alignment. What you're suggesting is that raekuul sent a note to somebody that said "With Snape's death, you are no longer a reliable Death Eater, but instead have turned coat to become a spy. By the way, whom are you going to kill this night?"

seriously, Jedo, you still refuse to believe, even though raekuul told us in the opening post there might be two.

Also if the current spy did not know Chaz was scum how is it bussing. If HP is the final spy then it would make sense he did not know Chaz, aka Snape, was good. But if he didnt know that chaz was a fellow spy then theres no way its bussing. It would be a scum lynching someone he thought was town.

So lets recap:
If Chaz had turned out town you would have voted for me and possibly Zag for "causing" Chaz's death

I assumed with Chaz being guilty that would make me at least less suspicious in your eyes. But nope it earned me 2 votes.

If Im a spy and knew Chaz was also a spy I apparently decided to buss him on day 1 with no serious votes. Boy you must think Im an idiot.

If Im a spy and did not know Chaz was also a spy I decided it would best serve my purposes by putting someone at L-1 on page 1. Boy you must think Im an idiot. (granted this one is a tad more believeable but still unlikely)


and finally I voted out chaz not because I dislike his playing style but because in his last few games his playing style has eventually hurt the town. I love Chaz posts from an entertainment side but it does little to help the town win. So yeah you are a hypocrite. You dislike policy lyches so you voted me and condemed zag. that is a policy lynch. Yes I got lucky but thats all you have to go on day 1. Of course you think Im a spy so I guess I got UNlucky.



Vote: Jedo the Jedi

raekuul, post 1 wrote:
"We have a spy... Seven of you are loyal to me, and one of you is a spy." The goal of the game is to find and eliminate any and all spies.

I consider this to be similar to the flavor text on a Magic Card. It makes for a decent story, but does not change the mechanics of the game whatsoever. Also, as far as I'm concerned, Chaz outed himself in his roleplay posts.

raekuul wrote:
Just to clarify: The Dark Lord assumed there was only one spy. The Dark Lord is not all-knowing.

Now that we've laid that argument to rest, let's get off the beating of that dead horse, and on to the matter of catching us some spies.

Zag, Equestrian's posts have been few and far between. She tried to defend Chaz (a bit) by suggesting that the scum were already voting him in post 92. Add to that her incorrect assumption that Quailman wanted day 1 to end too soon, and then that Quail was the night kill. Also, Jedo pointed out her "ha ha" end to her email, which has not been repeated since it was pointed out. That could indicate that she got nervous and changed her posting style, and that Jedo was correct. All in all, she seems a liekly candidate.

Others on my radar are currently Jedo and MNO. Jedo has been very vehement in defense and admonitions, and MNO has been amazingly quiet. Snik has fallen below my radar due to the scummy actions of others.

You're convincing me. I had forgotten about the "ha ha," though I have to admit that I didn't give it a lot of weight when it was first brought up.

My biggest reason for holding back is that I don't want to lynch her incorrectly and squash a new player's interest in the game. Of course, I don't want to lynch anyone incorrectly, but a new player, a little more so. I have her also high on my list, but I'll hold off on voting for her until something else develops.

I went through all of Quail's posts. The only person he legitimately suspected was Chaz. Does anyone else see anything fruitful which might indicate why he was targeted? I got nothin'.

After a quick re-read of the thread, it does look like Quail was focused on Chaz. Therefore, the only reason to lynch him is if someone was annoyed by him, or to try to shift suspicion to someone else. I agree that Equestrian is the obvious choice, in that she is the only one that voted Quail yesterday. That being said, I hesitate to go for the obvious choice. I've unconvinced myself. Unvote: Equestrian
Now the only other person that showed a specific interest in Quailman (for his puns) was Raekuul. Vote: Raekuul

Yeah? What did you do?

equestrian, as much as your vote against me makes me want to make an OMGUS vote against you, I won't... yet. (It stands for Oh My God yoU Suck, and refers to voting back at someone who just voted for you.)

I'm not sure why you think I've been jumping around. I stated early on that I think the remaining spy is one of you three who didn't vote for the lynch. Lynching your scum buddy in the first round is pretty foolish. I picked Snik based on one post that I thought sounded phony, but, obviously, no one agreed with me. I haven't actually changed my vote since then, just talked about who else it might be. ~checks back~ Actually, I only talked about you. Hardly hopping around, and now I'm even more suspicious of you since you are accusing me falsely (as you did to Quailman in the first day).

In fact, I've just talked myself into it. Here's my first jump, if you want to accuse me of jumping around, now I'm at least a little guilty of it.

unvote. vote equestrian

He did no such thing. I don't know why I have to repeat myself on this. The opening post points to one spy. The quote Sentran references fits in with the idea that the group can grow, but it doesn't mean there is more than one spy. Hence all of the evidence of the first post points to there being only one. It was not an unreasonable assumption. Only with raekuul's recent post (and the continuance of the game) do we know there is more than one.

I said it would be like bussing. Did you read my example? If you are rival scum teams (and have some inkling there is more than one), it's a great play to lynch the other scum person and give yourself the clear.

As for your recap, I'll just give each point a number to avoid the excess quoting.

1) I was already voting you yesterday for being suspicious. It's reasonable for me to continue in that vein today.

2) Why would you assume that? Like I said, suspicious yesterday does not make you unsuspicious today just because you were voting for the spy. The fact that you think that would clear you makes me more suspicious.

3) No serious votes? I'm pretty sure every single on of Chaz's votes were serious whether they be vendettas, policy votes, or actual votes of suspicion. Bussing is not inconceivable day 1, especially if your buddy was Chaz (considering the recent history you people like to cite) and you think it will gain you towncred.

4) Again, if you help lynch a spy, you look like a good townie. Plus, the whole meta of scum being at a certain vote is hackneyed at this point. I don't trust those tells any more. (Before you say I'm using some tells to convict you, those aren't lynchpins. The way you are reacting to my posts are far more suspicious to me.)

5) Eventually hurt the town? This isn't a convincing argument for me. We could go and look at what you've done and show how it has hurt the town. Shall I build a case like that? He has done some things to help the town. You are not a policy lynch. I am not voting for you because you are detrimental to the town. I think your actions are scummy. Your arguments are pretty weak, and they look like muckraking to get the heat off yourself.

Ok I just did a major recap. I looked specifically at the Chaz voters, Jedo and Quailman. The conclusions I have come up with are...

1. The orignal 3 Chaz votes were either randomn day 1 votes or based on jokes. NOT SERIOUS votes as Jedo claimed.
2. raekuul definately started this game with at least 2 spies.
3. Quailman was possibly killed because he was agreeing with me and I was going to be set-up as the next lynch by the remaining spy.


And before I post my recap with the evidence to back up these findings I want to go back to Jedos two mole example.

In post 136 you use the example that two rival gangs have moles in the FBI. The FBI knows there is A mole so one mole busses the other to get the heat off him. This you argue is why you are voting me.

This scenario could not happen though. In a mafia game with two killing groups the two mobs are never told who the other group is. If Chaz had know there was a rival spy he and the rival spy would have killed each other the first night. Game Over. The only options are these

1. Two spies that knew each other same team. It would have been stupid for me to put my partner at L-1 on post 18.I am not that bad at playing this game.

2. Two Spies did not know there was another spy. This could have happened and considering HP is actually probable. But Again Im not stupid enough to stick my neck out like that if Im scum.

So No I do not believe Chaz was bussed. Anyway I will finish typing up my recap and post it soon.

1. The orignal 3 Chaz votes were either randomn day 1 votes or based on jokes. NOT SERIOUS votes as Jedo claimed.

16 posts and 9 hours in and Chaz is already at L-1. I don't think you get that far with joke votes (none of them were random). Two people (you and Zag) did it because of vendettas from the last two games. You both said it in your posts. Those are serious. If they were said with a smiley and were only the first two votes, you could make a case that they were randoms with joke justification, but to run him up like that makes it serious. Were you going to remove those votes later on when you found something better? It sure doesn't look that way to me.

You could confidently assume this in retrospect (thanks to today), but not yesterday.

3. Quailman was possibly killed because he was agreeing with me and I was going to be set-up as the next lynch by the remaining spy.

Interesting attempt at a defense. In fact, you could even have done this yourself so you could say that. There was no heat on you, and he was agreeing with a post about roleplaying in mafia. That's not even related to the game. This is weak.

Undercover Monk wrote:
In post 136 you use the example that two rival gangs have moles in the FBI. The FBI knows there is A mole so one mole busses the other to get the heat off him. This you argue is why you are voting me.

It's not why I'm voting you. That scenario just helps make sense of what could be going on. I'm voting you because of your actions yesterday and the ensuing banter. Check #23. That ought to help illuminate things.

This scenario could not happen though. In a mafia game with two killing groups the two mobs are never told who the other group is. If Chaz had know there was a rival spy he and the rival spy would have killed each other the first night. Game Over.

It could happen. Sure the two mobs aren't told who the other group is, but just like any other mafia game people are able to pick up on reads. Chaz is in the hotseat for meta reasons. He starts to show some scum tells under the pressure, the rival scum picks up on it and goes for his lynch. Competition eliminated and the surviving scum looks good. Not unbelievable. (Also, Chaz doesn't have to know the rival spy. The rival spy has to pick up on that Chaz is scum.)

I don't think I need to address the hypothetical options since I have a way in which this scenario can work.

RECAP
Page1

Post 6: MNOWAX confirms and votes Chaz (no reason given)
post 7: Sentran votes Chaz (reason: to make the first bandwagon)
post 8: Zag votes Chaz (reason: his motto of lynching Chaz early and often. admits this was joke later.)

[In less than 10 posts Chaz is at 3 votes all of which Jedo claims are serious votes]


post 13: Jedo tells Zag to stop the vendetta against Chaz, but admits Chaz could have screwed the town last game. He also votes me. (reason: ??? apparently I was acting suspicious before I even posted Razz )
Post 16: Chaz votes Zag no reason given (could be OMGUS)
Post 18: My first post in the game. I support a Chaz lynch and put him at L-1 for his play in previous games. (What Jedo calls a policy lynch)
Post 23: Jedo Likes his vote. calls my logic flimsy and says we will neve catch scum that way. Razz

[I had never heard of the term policy lynch before but thats what Ive always done day1, especially as a townie with no info to go on. I still agree policy lynches are the way to go on day 1]


Post 25: Quail quotes the win condition from post 2 that says "Voldermort/deatheaters win by removing anyone that is a spy or IS ASSISTING A SPY.

[right there is what caused me to believe that there was more than one spy]


post 27: even though Chaz is at L-1 Sentran keeps his vote. (reason: It amuses him)
Post 28: MNOWAX wants someone to hammer
Post 29: Zag says his revenge vote was all in fun and that he needed someone to vote for on day 1.
post 32: I lay out my reasoning for putting Chaz at L-1 and my day 1 philosiphy.
post 33: Equestrian votes Jedo cause she doesnt like Star Wars

[A few points here; 1. I find it interesting that the three Chaz voters post but do not unvote. If they were scummates with Chaz they could have unvoted and been completely justified by claiming their votes were random or jokes, and that they didnt want a accidental hammer on page 1. This is a point in their favor to me. 2. I included equestrians vote to show yet another example of a randomn joke vote that usually occours first the first page of mafia games. I do not believe Equestrian was serious about your guilt nor do I believe Zag was sure at this point that Chaz was scum. The first serious vote on Chaz was mine and only because mine put him at L-1]

post 34: Chaz calls me stupid and says a quick lynch only favor mafia

page 2(yep we are only on page 2 at this point)

post 44: Jedo incorrectly insists there is only 1 spy despite quailman's pointing out the win condition.
post 54: Zag unvotes and FOS's me for pursuing the obvious JOKE (aka not serious) to L-1

(most of the rest of the page is filled with puns and the discussion of Quailmans post restriction)

post 73: Jedo says "Now Back to our regularly scheduled voting of Monk"

page 3

post 83: Quail votes Chaz for insisting Quail knows too much.
post 95: I respond to both Chaz and Jedo (read it if you like)
post 96-99: Chaz and I argue the pros and cons of role play in mafia
post 100: Quail agrees with me that role play is distracting to finding scum
post 104-107: More roleplay discussion that ends with Zags hammer

[Those were some long and repetitive posts that are difficult to summarize feel free to peruse them but it is Quails post 83 and 100 that may have sealed his fate. As opposed to both me and Zag he was not on the suspect list of anyone. yet he was clearly in our camp so he had to go if I was to be set-up. I know its not much to go on but its the only reason I can think of as to why he was killed.]

post 108: Jedo The Jedi And His Amazing WRONG-O-RAMA POST
1. There is only one scum (WRONG)
2. Chaz is totally town (WRONG)
3. You guys made the wrong decision (WRONG)
he also bashes policy lynches (even though it resulted in a scums death) and puts me and Zag at the top of his suspect list. (And though I have no concrete proof that is wrong too.)

post 120: I point out that Jedo is voting based on a disagreement in play styles and call him a hypocrite. I still believe this.

page 4 (almost done)

post 122: raekull announces Chaz is Snape (a spy) and that there are more than one in the game.
post 123: Hah to both Chaz and Jedo
post 126: Night lasts a mere three hours. Quailman is dead
post 129: Zag again categorizes his page 1 Chaz vote as a JOKE and posts the lynch vote count.
post 130: Sentran suspects non-Chaz voters
post 131: Jedo claims I am not trying to win the game because I use policy lynches on day 1. And refuses to admit he is wrong about the number of spies. He insists Raekull changed the allignment of a townie. He is also surprised Quail is killed

[apparently Raekkul was able to scramble and get a player to change his allignment and give him his night kill in 3 hours man that guy is cool under pressure (sarcasm) Oh and dont you just love the wow I am so surprised Quailman was killed I never would have chosen him.]


post 133: MNOWAX votes me and defends Jedo. (reason: not given????) Confused
post 134: Zag agrees policy lynching does not mean you are not trying to win and says he doesn't think raekuul changed the set-up.
post 136: Jedo votes me (surprise surprise)
post 139: My original recap post. (im not recapping a recap)
post 147: Jedo's response. (Im not recaping a response to a recap)

[So yeah any thoughts on my logic or additions.]






[Oh almost forgot Confirm Vote: Jedo the Jedi]

UM is starting to sway me. Zag, should the small group of us bandwagon the Jedo in hopes that UM is right? Jedo is one I am still suspicious of, and UM makes good points.

Aaaaaand... there it is. UM found the other link to Quail. Quail quoted raekuul's post in post 25, and Jedo decidedly ignored it in post 44. UM, you've moved me to Vote: Jedo the Jedi.

Mine was serious and was not remoeved. Zag's, as shown in the recap was not serious and was removed.

No I did confidently assume that as did quaiman (read recap). You just didnt believe us.

This you got me on all these conclusions are simply my ideas with the recap as evidence they are not the holy word of God. You are right I could have done that. But the logic is sound it is possible.

Yes I agree with that it is possible that there are two rival spy groups that dont know who they are. But according to you I am that other spy and according to you I lynched Chaz not because I was a great spy hunter but because I was executing a policy lynch. You are flip-flopping more than John Kerry at a sut-tanning convention. Oh yes I went there Enthusiastic Grin

Anyways like I said read the recap then attack my theories

Quail's quote of the win condition does not prove there have always been two spies. In fact, it goes along with my speculation of the game (and Quail's own speculation) that the spy group would grow. It's cool how you can twist things like that.

I'm tired of doing this. Lynch me if you want. You really will be wrong this time. I just hope the town will remember Monk when I'm gone.

I do want to know, when you are proven wrong about me, do we get to automatically lynch you in the next game because "your play style has eventually hurt the town"? I just figure if you're going to give short shrift to others, we may as well give it to you.

Also, as long as we are basing what we think of people's alignment or worth in a game on previous games, everybody should be listening to me since I nailed all three scum in the last game. But you wouldn't do that because it isn't good reasoning.

ah but like I said policy lynches last only til we have something to go on. And who am I to say what you should do next game. I understand that someone has to be the guinie pig lynch. If its my tun next time then its my turn but for now Im pretty sure Ive got you red handed. Heck this could end up being my single greatest performance in a mafia game. Granted I got lucky on Chaz but sometimes you need luck to win.

It looks like there may be more than one. I'm actually okay with seeing Chaz gone for the reasons Zag brought up, but D1 shouldn't end so quickly.


How am I twisting this. He says "It looks like there may be more than one." I looked back he does mention the possibility of a recruiting mafia but his initial belief and mine is that there were two at the start of the game. I am not twisting words I have done as much as I can possibly do to prove my points with evidence

Where do you get that "initial belief" of his? The only post before the one you quoted is his vote. The may in that sentence expresses contingency. Probably he saw the incongruity between the opening post and the win condition of the second. His next post reads:
Quailman wrote:
Speculation about the set-up...

There is one spy now. Perhaps said spy has a choice of recruiting or killing each night. Perhaps he can do both. Or maybe he just submits a target and if it's a pre-selected person (who may or may not be aware of it), he's recruited. If not one of those he dies.

No matter what, if we choose correctly today, I think the game is over. I siriusly doubt that will happen.

So, you believe there is more than one spy because of Quail quoting the mod, yet you ignore his next post which says the complete opposite? Plus, according to Sentran, I have somehow ignored post 25. I think the people who have ignored posts are you two.
