Do not fear, my gladiators. Once more Capua clamours for gladiators of the house Batiatus to meet in honourable contest!


ARANATHA SHALL FACE THE CHAMPION OF CAPUA: SKINTICK!

Damn. You figured the odds on us picking correctly for a lynch if you left me out. I was hoping you wouldn't do that.

Bendal would have to be ballsy to place one of his shields in a fight, back to back, in my opinion. This makes me believe Skintick as gladiator even more. We now only have one alt alive who has been in a fight - Skintick. This is not in our best interest. We need to force more fights without losing gladiators so fast. We're down 3 gladiators, and only have information on one living alt.

I have the ability to force Bendal to replace me in this fight. If I don't use it and die, it's one less fight information we receive. If I don't use it and kill Skintick, we lose the only alt who has survived a fight. So I see the best possible use of this ability tonight, forcing Bendal to pick another fighter against Skintick.

BATIATUS, SKINTICK IS BENEATH ME.


For the record, Bendal now must choose a different fighter to face Skintick tonight. This doesn't delay the fight until tomorrow. It still happens tonight, just with another fighter in my place. This gives us another piece of the puzzle, which is who Bendal is willing to place in the arena.

What? Anyone BH replaces you with could still have fought in later days...
You would have been better off saying you didn't want to die.
Skintick, do you think this ability help town? I can't think of any reason town would need such a thing...
A) Aranatha is a town leader (one of the three) in which case he should fight and try to kill off scum that end up in the Arena.
B)Aranatha is normal town and he bows out, just to be replaced by another normal town.

I'm still leaning towards Ghennan but not set on that by any means.

Ghennan is an idiot townie. He counts for us, and his life prolongs D-Day.

That said, I'd really like to lynch Aranatha after we lynch one of the shields, since he's lowposting like a boss and he must be punished.

How do you know he's an idiot townie. This is a very poor post.

I'm not liking Ano more and more. Somewhere in Ano's first few posts, he spells Batiatus name wrong. He spells it wrong two different ways. I've seen scum use this tactic, because the name would most likely be in their pm, thus appearing to not know how to spell it is a subtle trick attempt. It's an extremely small thing to use for catching scum, but that combined with his seemingly knowing who is townie and who is scum is worrisome.

To push my above point further, Ano made a post where he accuses someone of pretending to 'wonder' if scum shields and Bendal had lovers link. He said this person was pretending to appear ignorant of an obvious truth a scum would know. Sound familiar to something he's done with the name spelling of Batiatus wrong.

Unlike Ano, I want to win the game and am unwilling to toss random people on the chopping block, as he is effortlessly doing when he says who is town and who is scum without hesitation. So I won't act just like him and vote him for such simple reasons just yet, but he's right up there for now as my top choice.

I want to see who Bendal replaces me with first.

Because he placed Skintick in back to back. Would he do this with his shield? Also, I think Skintick might be one of our champions. Why would I risk either of us dying if so. Bendal will probably still just toss me back in a fight tomorrow. At least we get to see who else he is willing to fight. Which is our key for detecting scum. It's in the rules. We narrow down the list by making him fight more alts.

Bendal's best technique would to fight our most important and best fighters against each other. I'm preventing this for at least one night.

Basically you're saying you want Skintick dead, then? Maybe Ano was right about you and I'm wrong about him. Either you're scum, or too stupid to be left alive on our team.

You disappoint me.
I'm simply saying that as one of the town champions, Skintick would have had a good chance of killing you. I don't know whether you are scum or town, but IMO, your ability does not help town. (and that is only in my opinion, that's why I asked Skintick who was also present) So you are more likely to be scum than town at the moment.
I never said I wanted Skintick dead, I only said that the logic you used in justifying the use of your ability only matters if we believe you are a town champion.(meaning you have a reasonable chance of killing Skin and are more useful than other townies) which we don't. At least at the moment.

Vote Tennes

I'm still leaning towards Ghennan but not set on that by any means.

Is there a reason for that other than Ghenna's really scummy post wishing for you to die?

Yeah. He was the first to jump on the "let's lynch the picked fighters". A few other things. Now that the head shit head has did a "rest of the day" order, I'll put together a case on Ghennan and a couple others who have caught my eye.

I'm wondering how close a look we should take at Aranatha. I made a comment earlier about BH not putting thought into the orders and selections. My guess is that Aranatha and Eldat were chosen a bit more carefully. I am NOT proposing a lynch on either one at this juncture. Setting them up for the lynch could be the thought.

That is part of the reason why I'm believing Aranatha. He pointed out something in his reveal that I simply hadn't considered when I came up as a pick. I made the basic assumption that he threw me back in to get rid of me so I didn't consider the flip side of that is the more he does so the more apparent that's what he's doing.

Skintick, on 31 July 2014 - 04:03 PM, said:

Now for the fun part. BH arena picks.

Today is 11 people. BH and 2 scum and 8 town.

Arena picks are both town. Leaving 8 people from which to choose a lynch candidate. 7 if you count me as VPI. 2 scum and 5 town.

Arena picks are myself and town. Leaves 8 people from which to choose a lynch. 2 scum and 6 town.

Arena picks are myself and SHb. This one lowers the odds of a scum lynch dramatically but risks SHb in the ring.

Again, I'm assuming that he knows his ShitHeads. His least risky option is to NOT fight them until he has to do so. It's much easier to hide them in the crowd than to make them stand out by choosing them. Which is why I said what I said about how closely we wanted to look at Aranatha.

How can you not see how brilliant this move is for town?

It is a role specifically setup to negate the advantage bednal has by limiting the number of fighters we can gain info from. This specific problem has even been discussed on thread. His ability gives us a temporary solution to it.

Without knowing his allegiance, we don't know if his ability (aka negating the advantage) helps the town or not. He can be scum(we don't know) using this ability to get out of a fight and give BH a chance to choose a town.

When people attempt to engage him in conversation he responds by dismissing them or insulting them, attempting to shut down any conversation.

I still think you're putting too much emphasis on the fighter choices. In the end, it's an NK mechanism. If speculating on "why Trake was killed last night" is WIFOM, then to a lesser degree it's wifom to speculate on why the fighters were chosen. Althought Aranatha's reveal does make it more valuable.

I'm still curious about the Eldat Pressen "Breaking Bad" mandate. I'm treating it as a red herring but won't be shocked if I find out I'm wrong once the game is over.

I'm not liking Anomandaris' style. But he's the only reason I'm not pressing you Ghennan. His opinion that you're stupid rather than scum.

I agree that this ability, if real, gives town more information and that is a good thing. It doesn't say Aranatha is town or scum, but I'm not sure why this is so hard for Tennes to understand.
