Malazan Empire: Mafia 27: The Escape of the Benses (Game Thread) - Malazan Empire

Ok, if we're to believe Fener, then BB (and UB) would be in the group of:

Barghast
D'riss
Galain
Liosan
Serc

I suppose we could lynch one, guard one, vig one, as I think Kaschan has said. If we're to believe Fener. My vote still stays at the moment.

I'd like to hear thoughts from Barghast, who's been missing during all of this.

Alright, I'm off for a few hours.

Lets just make sure that we don't hit Fener's partner. I can't believe that I was the most suspicious person for them to guard. What a waste. I am going off and won't be back on till morning. I am leaving my vote right were it is at. I see no reason to move it.

:(

Well fuck it, I'll reveal as well and enjoy the mass of revealing. Besides Serc already linked us Day 2 in his case against me.

I'm Fener's partner. Fener and I put codes in our first posts. I will get Fener to explain my code, which will prove we can talk offline.

My suspect list when this day started was down to 3: Liosan, Telas and Kaschan.
Serc is running a somewhat distant 4th.

With the reveal, I am left with Liosan as my main suspect. This has been through the process of elimination more than anything suspect. But the Gamelon fake silenced thing really confirms it for me with Liosan. Oh and we chose Gamelon Night 1 for the Guard but he was one of a few suspicious people (see the case on him day 2), when there was no NK we had to go Gamelon again to confirm.

And this is why I have a low post count... No one is around during my best posting times, except sometimes Fener.

like now
In case you were wondering, I ran out of change on the "pay as you surf" kiosk. that's what my last msg was.

After that I ran (since I've missed my bus blowing the steam off in Gamelon's general direction) to the auction we've had at work. I'm now a proud owner of a brand new ironing board. Yay me.
now I'm back.
Barg IS indeed my partner. it really sucks that both of us have such crappy posting times.

to prove that we can communicate off thread, I present Barg's doozy of a code:

his first post:

Barghast;374204 said:

First letter of every word gives us SRARE
nothing in itself.
But, if you apply Rule of translation 13 (A=N, B=O,.... M=Z), you get FENER
now, please try telling me this was a coincidence if you don't buy it.

Barg can tell my code of his name.
and since we're not oftentimes on simultaneously, the other tried and true method of off comm is much more problematic...

So Feners code...

Fener said:

Should clear that up.

So for me, we still have BB and UB out there, with 11 of us remaining.
6 are confirmed roled.
Gamelon, Fener and I can clear after guarding him so he's neither UB or BB.

Leaving us with: Serc, Galain, Liosan and D'riss.

I find Serc and Liosan by far the most suspicious and today suggest we vote for one of those. As a guess I'd say Liosan is BB. Serc tried to make a case linking Fener and I, i'm taking that as a attempt to signal BB he found a roled pair. They both jumped on Galain being silenced as well.

I'm not sure if I'm around for Day End or not, so I'll vote Liosan in 5 or so hours depending what others say.

and, (since I can finally type well again!!!), explanation for our behaviour as guards so far

On night 1 we guarded Gamelon. He tickled Barghast the wrong way, and I wasn't actually around to confirm, but JA let us have it, cuz it was night 1.
When Tennes got killed, and the vigs claimed the hit, while Telas got silenced, we knew that Gamelon wasn't UB
soemone still got killed, and there was a chance that BB and the vigs chose the same target.
So, to make double sure, we guarded Gamelon again last night. Once again, Barg's insistance--after Gamelon's play on day 2, esp towards the end, i was inclined to believe that he was inno. Nonetheless, we watched him, since due to my limited net time, I left most of decision-making to Barg. So, when another kill happened, We knew for sure that Gamelon was inno and not a UB either

Keeping that in mind, you can see why I went after Galain like a rabid dog once Gamelon "counter-claimed" silenced--I KNEW for a fact that he was inno. Which meant Galain HAD to be scum, something that tied well with his "He's faking it!!!" hysteria on day 2.
So I pushed a lynch. pushed it hard, just to have it blow up in my face with that Gamelon "confession"
Must say, it did an awesome job drawing out the roles--something I thought Galain was doing, and what I hoped to avoid by quickly lynching him. If I didn't know that Gamelon was 150% innocent, and just brain-dead, i'd be spamming this board with "lynch Gamelon!!!" messages till my fingers fell off. Or till I got banned. Whichever'd come first.

so, now we have 4 suspects left: Liosan, Galain, D'riss and Serc.
Serc pretty much outed me and Barg when he made a case on me, drawing a nice little heart around us.
D'riss has been playing a very conservative and reserved game throughtout this time, I can't really find anything that bugs me about him.
Galain had the whole "he's faking it" episode, but as some have said, he refused to go in for the kill on Gamelon.
Liosan has been the last of the lurkers still alive and not changing/reforming. Personally, I tend to think he's a struggling inno, and if it is scum, damn you to hell

Though I know my words have little merit here, I'd suggest the vigs go for Liosan tonight--if we do hit a scum, all the better,if we don't at least it won't be a wasted lynch on a person who contributed little, and i have some reservations against going into an endgame with active vigs as they are often unpredictable (and have a tendency to go for me, as well)
not sure how much time will be left by the time someone gets on, and not quite sure as to who to lynch/guard tonight.

Barghast;376393 said:

If it was up to me, I'd lynch either D'riss or Serc today--those two have been equally level-headed and conservative players, gently steering the game so far, and I refuse to believe that we have a game where TWO experienced players are playing for the innos with no one secretly trying to screw them over. it'd be just too simple.

Liosan may be a scum, or just a filthy inno lurker that lurks. if the latter's the case, wasting a lynch on him is unacceptable and i'd much rather see him vigged.

Ok I am back, to explain my wifes 21st B-day way 2 days ago, and so I took her out for drinks


and more drinks




and more drinks



we got home about an hour ago, and she fell(I blame the invisible ice and not the alcohol) and broke the fuck out of our toilet, which I have since cleaned up.

Alas, the toilet died in surgery, RIP toilet. So I will not be modding for a while as she is pretty upset, no time to catch up, Silencer might be on later, or not, so please be patient. If you lynch, don't bitch at the mods, because JA and Silencer are doing a great job. Night guys.

-Bent

hmmm
well, I think we still have something like 12 hours before deadline

btw,
remove vote
that's from Galain
I'm inclined to go for Serc or D'riss as today's lynch.

yawn
while I realize that many of y'all will start geting on in about 2-4 hours, i have 4 days of work ahead of me.

Warpig tired
Warpig need sleep
Warpig dream of goring the BB (twice) and then disemboweling, chopping down and devouring Gamelon for that %&^$ed up stunt of his.

Goodnight. I'll check the thread before work, so in about 5.5 hours. will vote before going to work, too.

Fener;376397 said:

Alright Fener, I apologise for questioning your reveal before, I guess I just find it hard to take people at their word in mafia, for some reason

I agree with the above post. As I said before, it would be ironic if after all this Galain was in fact evil, so I'd rather not entertain that possibility. Even so, we can still make sure. Same rules apply, lynch one, guard another, vig a third. But we have four suspects, meaning one has to be left loose till the next day.

I would also prefer to lynch either D'riss or Serc, and vig Liosan at this point. I mentioned a while ago that when Serc was brought up on his aggressiveness, he toned it down a lot, and, in fact, also stopped posting as much. Trying actively to keep a lower profile?

D'riss has been Mr. Helpful and has made many good points. Because he knew more than the rest of us?

I'll pass the buck on this one. Whoever you and Barghast decide to go for, I'll vote for them too.


Oh, and remove vote
