Give me a few minutes, I'll resolve this fight and get the game going again!


OH THANK GOD.

Please don't let all this waiting have been just to read my own death.

A huge cheer roars through the arena as Ghennan and Skintick walk towards its centre to meet in battle. Ghennan has a smile on his face as the match begins. He quickly whips one of his swords at Skintick. Skintick tries to dodge out of the way but is hit, leaving a long bloody cut across the side of his neck. Despite this, he closes the distance between himself and Ghennan, and thrusts his weapon at Ghennan's feet. Ghennan tries to dance out of the way, but is unsuccessfuly. He swings his weapon at Skintick's side as he's falling to the ground. His weapon leaves a large gash on Skintick's hip. Ghennan then thrusts his weapon at Skintick's other side, as he's getting up, leaving another gash on the other hip, but taking a cut to the side of his head. Ghennan is breathing heavily, blood dripping down the side of his face, but he picks up his second weapon, thrusting at both Skintick's stomach and feet, hoping to trip him up. Skintick parries the attack to his stomach, clearly did not expect the second attack. He pulls away, bewildered, as Ghennan's blades come swinging towards his face. He blocks the attack, but his own attempt to trip Ghennan up misses. He blinks as he looks into Ghennan's eyes. They look crazed, and the blood covering the side of his face make him look like a vengeful god of war. Skintick hesitates, and that hesitation costs him his life. Ghennan is screaming incoherently as he stabs Skintick's now dead body, over and over again.

Skintick is dead. He was Gannicus the Celt, and Gnaw.

It is Day 4. 36 hours remaining.

There are 9 Players left alive: Aranatha, Bendal Home, Eldat Pressen, Ghennan, Iparth Erule, Merrid, Prazec Goul, Ryadd Eleis, Tennes

5 votes to lynch. 5 votes for night.




Players not voted: Aranatha, Bendal Home, Eldat Pressen, Ghennan, Iparth Erule, Merrid, Prazec Goul, Ryadd Eleis, Tennes
Only someone with this much power could make this many frittatas without breaking any eggs.

There are 9 people alive. Four of them should be able to beat a town champion. (two shields and two remaining town champions.)
That makes it a 50% chance of Ghennan being a shield doesn't it?

Stabby stabby stabby stabby stabby stabby weeeeeeeeeeee!

Looking at the list of the living I am leaning towards Aranatha being town, and Tennes + 1 for the scum.

Not surprised that skin ended up being town after all, but still disappointed.

Since people have bitched at me non stop for putting my thinking on thread I will wait for others to weigh in first.

Batiatus' lead gladiators, Spartacus, Crixus and Gannicus, have begun to foment unrest among the rest of the slaves.

Batiatus has his loyal servants, Onomaeus, the gladiators' trainer, or Doctore, and Ashur living among the gladiators, hoping that they can turn the slaves' ire against each other instead of directing it at them.

I don't know which side to place Ghennan myself. I need time to think about the game as a whole. Ghennan clearly fights with 2 weapons. Would this be town or scum to have this advantage?

Both Spartacus and Doctores fought with two weapon IIRC. That doesn't help much.

X-post with my post above, and this is a great example of his being scum I think. He leapt at the chance to form a train against his main detractor yesterday and today he is immediately

( a ) glossing over the fact that any fighter can beat any fighter, some are just more likely than others to win, but he doesn't even mention that poissability.
( b ) saying that I have a 50% chance to be a shield, not a 50/50 chance to be one of top 4 fighters as he calls it, just a 50/50 chance to be scum.

Bear in mind, that I was only put in after arantha tapped out, if bendal wanted to kill skin yesterday, he would have put one of his scum in right away. But he put in aranatha who I think is pretty good chance of being town at the moment. You think he only decided AFTER he was forced to swap that he wanted to risk a shield?

This result IMO reduces the chances of aranatha being scum regardless of what you think I am.

If you think I am scum, that means you think bendal put both his shields in to fight skin on the same day?
If you think I am town, then Aranatha is less likely to be scum because it keeps the unbroken trend of putting town in harms way.

I think of the 9 remaining, the shields remain in the 6 unknowns. We have a 33% chance to hit them today through random chance, but let's see if we can do better than that shall we?

Vote Tennes



You're glossing over the fact that every M&P game, scum have a NK with nothing to stop them. They can kill anyone during the night and they don't need to put each other in any sort of danger. This game town has a very important advantage, Scum cannot choose exactly who gets killed. Even if all the top fighters get killed it doesn't really change the game for town does? It just makes it more and more like a normal M&P. So, the top fighters can go suck ass.

You cannot use WIFOM for anything, BH can be stupid, he can be a genius. His choices shouldn't affect ours. The second part of your post about BH's choices is not a valid argument. You cannot think in his place.

I just pointed out the probabilities, Blend himself said that town champions will be a lot stronger than normal players. We have four stronger than normal players still in the game. Two of them are scum and there is a very good possibility of you being among the four. It does not serve town to ignore that.

Also, Ano and Eldat Pressen wanted me lynched. I don't even remember you attacking me.

Is there also a lynch mechanic? Is there also a regular NK mechanic? Is the Tyrant a member of the scum?


The lynch will be the main way that town will be able to kill the Shields so that they can take down Batiatus.

There are no other NKs besides the Arena Fight results.

The scum team will be Batiatus (the Tyrant) and his Shields (most likely 2 of them). Everyone else will be the Town team.

The Shields will be able to be sent into Arena Fights a small, finite amount of times. They will be powerful, however they will still be beatable - so it would be a risk for Batiatus to do so. This should give town more of a chance to figure out who the Shields are besides complete guess-work.

There are a couple of 'roled' town members, meaning that there are a couple of town members who will have abilities that can help them win Arena Fights, or delay them.


Underlined for emphasis, red for double emphasis. We should IGNORE the mechanic the game designer put in to help us?

Are you fucking nuts?

Yes, I'm using the mechanic with the help of dear math. There is a very good chance that you are one of the four, and that gives us a 50% chance of lynching a shield. Better than your 33.3% isn't it?

See this is why I am leaning so heavily towards you being scum. You are completely disregarding the damage it will cause to town if you lynch a gladiator, like you don't even care about getting rid of one.

Other people might mention whether or not they think I have been acting like scum or town throughout the game to decide, but you don't care AT ALL about that do you? Which is fucking suspicious if you ask me. You must figure, if you don't know who your pal shield is, that the odds of me being a glad is higher than being your buddy.

(For the record, no it isn't 50%, because "a very good chance" that I am one of the 4 ISN'T I am one of the 4 = less than 50%)

I'm baaaack. What a weekend.


Ghennan, you misrepresent what Tennes says in that last post. They're essentially echoing what Skintick said at the weekend about playing mafia and not focusing on trying to second-guess Bendal's use of the special mechanic, NOT that we shouldn't analyse the results of the mechanic itself.


However, enough suspicion seems to surround Tennes themselves that it wouldn't be the worst choice to lynch them. I haven't found them particularly scummy myself, but then i have been known to be wrong 87% of the time. I have to say, though, that I liked Tennes' case on Prazec Goul, and agree with much of thenpost analysis that was done there. I'd like to see PG respond to it.

I really don't like this post actually.


You completely disregarded the good probability that Skintick was a champion gladiator when you kept imploring Bendal to put you in there. Accusing Tennes in that regard is more than a little hypocritical.


You're being very jumpy.

Main weapon for town in M&P games is the lynch. Tell me if a champion dies, how would that affect our chances of lynching correctly tomorrow.
Tell me if you are really a town champion, how would you benefit us more, by being lynched or by staying alive and being used to (for example) kill the other champion in tonight's fight? BH knows his shields and let us assume for the moment that Aranatha isn't a shield. That will most likely make him a champion in BH's eyes. If you are not a shield as you say we can still lose one champion in this cycle and get a lot less info in the bargain.

Yes, I'm not worried about lynching champions, because even if they are killed we can still lynch and we can still analyze and that IS how you win a mafia game. Not by hoping that Mr.Tyrant will put a shield in arena with a champion.(In that scenario, it is STILL possible for the champion to die and for you to be proved a retard)

Just gone back, page 17. Right let me read it and I'll respond. I have not been paying much attention to the game since early on, just making sure my vote is there. I'll get more stuck into it as we get down to the important part but i'll respond.

A couple of things about PG caught my eye, I thought I would share.

View PostPrazec Goul, on 29 July 2014 - 07:05 AM, said:

Yes, I think this too, because they are less likely to be lynched during the day. I think lynching one of the fighters may be the best shot at getting one of his guards. I am assuming they are guards because we have to get them before getting him. I was going to say buddies but guards seem fitting.

If we lynch one of the fighters, it will also answer what happens at night if one of the fighters is lynched.

One thing I did want to say, is that we MUST lynch because if we don't we will run out of time to get Bendal.

An idea that just occurred to me and want to put it out there, what if Bendal has yet to choose his guards? What if the winner of a fight gets that position? Ludicrous to think of maybe, was just a passing thought.

Fear mongering or stupid thought. Which bit? I can see the stupid parts, because reading back on them they sound stupid ie the last two sentences. The first part I thought made sense at the time, it also shows that I did not know they were called shields. Now if you think I did this on purpose then I don't think I would have called, Aranatha?, out on it because it would just come full circle back round to me.

Why Skintick over Denesmet?

Just wondering because I will be voting one of these too.

Jumps on day1 train without any reason.Not making any waves. Ha ha, you are kidding here right? I had already voted Ultama at this stage, so that makes me stand out a little because the vote wasn't solid. Willingness to vote to get a lynch, if you again look back (because I can remember this), time was short and I wanted to know why people preferred Skin over Denesmet. It also worked out because Skin was a champion and Denesmet was not. The votes were stacked against Skin at this point. Now I was just uncertain as to who to vote for out of the two and wondered why Denesmet was getting little to no heat. Also I was the FIRST person to vote for them, which is controversial and making waves, seem as Skin had the most votes.

Mainly because Bendal knows who his guards are. He will know if Skintick IS one or is not. Where we will have no way of telling.

Both could be his guards and he has just messed up. Trying to damage one to PI the other.

We just wouldn't know, but the fact that Skin has revealed an ability should be addressed.

This seems like PG is trying to confuse the thread. I mean why in all hells would BH put both his guards in a fight on day1? To who am I addressing here? There is a reason for the response. To my mind it made sense. early distancing from BH, one of his shields has the ability to push back a fight night, and then that person is PI, ie Skintick. However, we know Skin was a champion and that is not possible, but it still was possible until Skin died. If Skin had killed Ghennan then we know Skin would be a powerful player. Was the thread confused? If you go back, you can see it was not confused, and that we moved on from here. We ended up lynching elsewhere, away from a champion, which is a fucking good thing.

Caught up. Iparth hammers and Ultama feels the need to add an extra vote. Don't see why. It was only 30 minutes later on the clock and he did notice that Iparth hammered.

Useless summing up. Not useless. It was an odd move by Ultama, and an early hammer by Iparth. Has anything Iparth done since then that has assuaged your doubts of him being a shield?

So Skintick definitely had the ability, it was mentioned in the PS scenes, and actually is happening.

Now this could go one of two ways in my opinion, we could go after Kessobahn (My reasoning is now that Skintick is PI that Bendal will want him eliminated and that he would use his guard to do it. Banking on us not lynching a fighter for the second day in a row)

Or we could ignore Bendal's fight choices, lynch someone else and see a result of a fight for the first time.

I don't think its even possible to attack someone over this post. Ultimate "not making any waves" So, what you are saying here, is that you agree with what I said?

We have to think how a guard would want to play this game, they are not going to want to stand out, they are going to want to stay off everyone's radar as much as possible. Easy to get into the later stages of the game by not making any waves, or venturing any strong opinions.

Provides a theory, does not follow up on it later and the theory itself stinks of someone trying to say something while having nothing to say.

The last three post were posted one after another in a span of 7 minutes, trying to boost his post count.
As I don't know how many quotes one post can have I will submit this one now.


My tactic so far this game has to look non threatening but to vote along and provide my own thoughts. I am playing the game as best I can. I want the pool of suspects narrowed down before I properly analyse the thread, as there are way to many variables. I have my suspects but I haven't pushed yet. I voted Ghennan yesterday for pointing out that Skin had a dodge ability. Even though that was in the scene by PS not everyone reads those and feels the need to highlight them to the thread. That was a definite town ability. If BH is not around as often as we think then he may not have even noticed Skin had that ability. Then Ghennan points it out to the thread, and to me, it looked like he was signalling to Bendal.

To sum up, my problem with PG's playing style is simple, I feel like he is playing with the single purpose of surviving as long as possible. Posts nothing controversial, votes with the majority (in case of Ultama lynch, I had more votes than anyone else when he voted me) , and generally tries to lay low.


Rather than reply to everything. I can just agree with you here. I am being a filthy survivalist. A lazy member of town, not putting much on thread. I have been keeping notes though. Like this masterful notation from earlier in the game. Just to show I am not being a total loser. I don't remember what part of the day this was, but it was my reasoning for picking on Ultama. He was right smack bang in the middle of the pack but heightened his position from bottom 3 to mid level by the end of day. It was not middle of the day like you kept saying but I just ignored you because you were also a suspect. This was just based on post count, it was based on style, content and quality of your posts up until now. I think this was done beginning of day two when we had Denesemet's CF, and Skin's ability pointed out.

Right, so I think that Aranatha is town. Reasoning is that I don't think a guard/shield would have an ability which would counter the intentions of their scum leader.


Tennes is technically incorrect that the chances of Ghennan being a guard/shield are 50%, as I believe PS has stated that it is possible (though presumably not probable) for a regular gladiator to also win against a champion. However, the likelihood does seem to be that Ghennan is either a champion themselves or one of the guard/shields.

If we think of these guards as symps, as Skintick wisely urged, then it has to be said that Ghennan has been acting quite sympish. Loud, directing attention, keeping much of the focus on mechanics and speculation as to scum moves, continuing to pour suspicion on PIs including openly urging a Skintick death (right up to asking Skin to commit suicide if I remember correctly) 'for the good of town'.

Ghennan is my top choice right now, but I would need to read over his posts again tomorrow to cement it. But for now,

Vote Ghennan
