Someone told him he should play.

Save us from his scrutiny!

[Telas]

bored.

[Ruse]

I think the three of us have talked ourselves out

[Ruse]

Now I'm bored too. Finished my reread. Worry should play mafia, imagine the snark!

Also some complete bastard failed to refill the ice tray. I am not amused.

[Path-Shaper]

Day times out at 1am my time, at which point I'll be asleep, so resolution may be late.

[Olar Ethil]

Here, catching up, etc

Perhaps arguing the 'Parshs have 7' is signalling? Probably a stretch, but pulled this from p. 5 or 6 or something:

Okay, so the Parsh doesn't sound like it can be a one-man faction, then.

The numbers stated in sign-up were 19 or 22. How about 4-4-4-7 or 5-5-5-7, with the 7 being the Parshs?

Given what has come out with speculation on the books, I think one of these is more likely.

That being said, from what I have read in the wiki, the Parshendi always send an equal amount of fighters against the factions, so could it be that there are two factions and the parshendi with equal and one of the factions that have a bit more? Does one of the factions have more power in the books?

TS was killed (not faction leader), and OE hasn't said anything for past few pages (not willing to defend Telas?). Unless I missed something, like OE and Telas voting each other.. I can't remember, argh.

Not sure if I'll be back before day is up, leaving my vote on Telas

Hmm, I'm not a fan of signal hunting because I'm terribad at it but I'll take a look once I've finished going over the thread. If I remember correctly Lio was one of the 7's as well. And someone through a tantrum when Lio suggested it (having apparently come up with it off their own bat.)

The only Parsh we have was Amp. He didn't mention much about 7.
I don't think it would be a smart move for Alethi to use Parshendi number spec as signalling--it's bound to attract attention.

I wasn't talking about your theory. It was about Gem's insistence that evolution was only a "theory."

Yeah Telas pointed out the problem with it further down, and after rereading it I didn't think much of it myself.

Which is more useful?

Mafia of course!

[Karosis]

Ok I'm here and read up. I'm absolutely baffled by how hard Telas is protecting Lio, and then his voting on Lio near the end of the day. I'm also rather baffled by the suggestion by Telas that anyone who doesn't think there is a massive faction imbalance in a merc game is clearly Parshendi and we should all vote them.

But I've seen nothing to suggest I there is any reason for me to keep Liosan around, so

Vote Liosan.

You see, I feel like yes, killing vocal ones is satisfying, and in the end, no one wants to lose to a gloating loud mouth who says they led the thread of sheeple all game long. But in a game like this, where there isn't 1 versus 1 mentality, there are a lot of big targets, and statistically, killing the loud ones nets less in the way of biggies.

That's why I'm suggesting going after the coasters (not the lazy people or the people who don't have time to play), the people who are low posting and know what's going on. People like Anomander, Atrahal, Karosis.

I often can't tell the difference between those three groups to be honest. That said, I do feel like Ano in particular is coasting. Atrahal I'll have to go back and take a proper look at because I remember very little of theirs, Karosis' posts have been pretty good contentwise, so they struck as more of a low-time person rather than a coaster. Also what happened to Olar Ethil? I remember them coming on and making a big noise a while after someone voted them and not much since then.

I did? I come on around the same time every day and I don't remember anyone voting me but could've happened and I didn't notice/bother to remember.

[Olar Ethil]

Well I was going to vote Lio, but Karo just stole my hammer thunder

Yeah Meanas voted for you latish day 1 I think.

[Olar Ethil]

I disagree with those saying Lio couldn't be Parshi. He seems to be acting exactly like the typical merc who is either a leader or a member of the currently targeted faction who has more or less randomly been singled out early and is losing his shit over it.

[Olar Ethil]

On the other hand, with a dead member of each faction from night 1, no matter who we lynched could be the basis for a culture hunt unless they turn out to be an independent of some sort!
