VALIANT HERO Mafia! [World is Saved]

[Asuka Langley]

Screw the RP, I have 25 minutes.

Almaz, I was watching to see if anyone tried to make any rash jumps between the wagons at the end of D1. If they weren't close enough together that a move from one wagon to another would clinch it there'd be no point. Unfortunately Prinny voted to save himself immediately afterward so it didn't work.

Planet's claim fails in terms of 'I get alignment AND role!' That's sort of insane. Still very happy with his lynch, and even if we end up wrong it means (excusing the possibility of GF) Manuel is confirmed. Honestly, though, I think he's scum going for one last shot.

[Maya Kumashiro]

Conflicted.  Why does this game make me so conflicted and scared near day's end?!  We have twenty minutes left if I read this right.

Lemme quickly get an idea out.

If Captain Planet's town, scum'll kill him tonight, right?  So if we leave him alive for now he'll die tonight if he's town, and we can kill him tomorrow if he's scum.  You're guaranteed to be sane right Captain if you really are a Cop?

So instead we can lynch Gordon.  The 'trap' he talks about still doesn't make any sense to me.  He said it out loud so it's not like he was going to trap anyone, just dissuade people from changing.  Although he didn't really discourage me from switching, Middleman did that!

If Captain Planet lives, we can lynch him tomorrow!  I'd have him check role and alignment, but scum rolecop messes with that.

... Making me consider he's a rolecop.  But scum.  Because scum rolecop would see alignment and role.  I really don't buy a full Cop.

[Nathan Greaves]

Wow, I have no idea how I missesd Smax's vote. Didn't mean to put Planet at L-1 so quickly, sorry.

However, given there are about 20 minutes left and Batmanuel has been able to weigh in, I don't fear THE DREADED SCUM QUICKHAMMER very much so I don't feel particularly inclined to remove it.

[Tanaka]

except trying to predict what scum does is stupid, since now they can kill somebody else tonight, Almaz, and that leaves CP... to get killed by us tomorrow because he's obviously scum. no. no no no.

...okay. fuck. i need to get going soon. should i be the hammer, then? anyone else have anything more to say?

[Nathan Greaves]

Almaz, I do not like the smell of your suggestion very much at all. It smells like a strange combination of lining up lynches and blatant disregard for "thou shalt not suffer scum to live".

[Maya Kumashiro]

Hazel: I think Gordon is scum.  Not as strongly anymore, I admit that, but even his last post doesn't make the trap any more sensible to me.

So I'd let Gordon live to kill Planet.  I'm just really nervous about lynching the Cop claim.

[Tohsaka Rin]

I've got nothin' much more to say by now, Hiro. I have trouble believing the role Planet describes is even balanced enough to be included given that we've apparently also got self-confirming masons on our side. Information is power and that's a lot of it on town's side.

Let 'er rip, I say.

[Asuka Langley]

Almaz, letting the claimed cop off the lynch on the assumption that scum will hit him is MASSIVE WIFOM. It means that if he IS a cop, scum could very much not hit him anyway and then we're as clueless as before over his affiliation.

[Maya Kumashiro]

Yeah, okay, got a point.  It'd definitely run into WIFOM.

Go ahead Hiro.

[Tanaka]

...yeah. alright then, i've gotta go, will drop the hammer.

apologies, CP, but it's about time you logged out.

##UNVOTE: Batmanuel
##VOTE: Captain Planet


THIS IS HAMMER, SHADDUP

[Yoshiken]

Sorry about the delay there, guys.

"The power is yours to defend this town!"
"Quit saying that! It's getting old!"
"But the power is yours to make sure it doesn't get old!"
"Okay, I'm warning you..."
"But the power is yours to destroy the town!"
"That's it, I-- wait, what did he just say?"

And, so it was that Captain Planet was met with a mob of superheroes hunting him down. While he wouldn't have been happy about them lighting torches to chase him (Just think of the pollution!), he was probably less happy about being killed.

Captain Planet, Mafia Rolecop, was hunted down!

[Yoshiken]

Idle note, before I forget - heading out tomorrow, probably about 13 hours from now. After that, I'll be gone until late into Sunday. If I can, I'll start the next day tomorrow before I leave and get someone to co-mod for me, but otherwise, expect this to be a very long night.

And sorry if that's a problem for anyone~

[Bill Hellsnake]

I see our friend Axel likes to sing songs at night.  Well, not only am I a famed Federation captain, but in my off-duty time, I'm also a famed singer.  Here's a personal favorite I rescued from antiquity and made a Federation chart topper.  All of you historical folk may know it as Space Oddity.


Ground control to Captain Kirk
Ground control to Captain Kirk
Take your phaser and put it now on stun
(Ten) Ground control (Nine) to Captain Kirk (Eight)
(Seven, six) Commencing countdown (Five), engines on (Four)
(Three, two) Go to warp (One) and may gods (Blastoff) love be with you

This is ground control to Captain Kirk, you've really made the grade
And the papers want to know whose shirts you wear
Now it's time to hunt the Klingons if you dare

This is Captain Kirk to ground control, I'm boldly going out
And fighting to end the Klingon's sway.
And the stars make me look awesome today
Here am I pilotin'  my starship far above the world
The scum team is through, and there's nothing they can do

Though I'm past one hundred thousand posts, I'm feeling very still
And I think the Enterprise knows which way to go
Tell my team I love 'em very much, they know
Ground control to Captain Kirk, your circuits dead, there's something wrong
Can you hear me, Captain Kirk?
Can you hear me, Captain Kirk?
Can you hear me, Captain Kirk?
Can you...
Here am I sitting in my star ship far above the Moon
The scum team is through and there's nothing they can do

Captain's Log: Stardate 45601.

We've been following this man for several days now. He claims to be the legendary Captain Kirk, come forward from the past. While we are reluctant to believe his claims, our previous endeavours have taught us not to come to such rash judgements.

However, he seems to be entangled in this predicament involving several other heroes. While we are still scanning to determine which are good and which are evil, it seems another one has been lost to them.

After the night's festivities, many of the attendees were requesting food - one notably moreso than the others. After they sent their delivery-man out to collect the food, several of them questioned how long the food was taking. Opening the door, they discovered both the bike and their pizzas, but the man was nowhere to be found.

It seems that Hiro Protagonist, Town Citizen, was deleted from existence.

[Yoshiken]

Day Three starts now. With 12 players alive, this will end when somebody reaches 7 votes or at 7am EST/12pm GMT on the 22nd.
(Idly, midday/midnight are retarded. If it's 11am, an hour later should be 12am, not pm. blarghle.)

(Yes, I'm extending this day to 72 hours instead of 48, thanks to a suggestion from your (friendly neighbourhood) co-mod. That way, I can actually answer any questions you might have before the deadline. Snowfire'll fill in on votecounts for the rest of the day. )

Captain's Log - Stardate 115806

It seems that genius truly is not appreciated before its time.  Fortunately, the hunt for Klingons is going well.  Two of them down, and it's likely the other two are going to be easily ferreted out.  Suspicions still lay heavy on both Ears and Mr. Middleman.  The defenses given to Mr. Middleman are beginning to look worse and worse as the case on Mr. Gunnar on the first Mission is increasingly filled with Klingons.

However, Ears is still my first choice.  Mostly because he has that lovely unresolved argument from yesterday.  He was headed to the gallows for good reason, after all.  But, also because I'd really love to see if all three of the votes after the Tribble were Klingon based before moving on to Mr. Middleman himself.

Also, who let that Picard tool in!  How many times has he saved anything?

##Vote: Batmanuel

[Asuka Langley]

*grabs Teriyaki Pizza left unguarded* Making the most of a bad situation here!

Okay, so - munch, munch - looking back over D2, there's got to be a couple of questions to ask about the wagons. Mainly concerning the bat over there! (I'd point, but my hands are full.)

On one hand - om, nom - scum probably wouldn't want to raise two scum wagons at the same time. The same reason I was cutting Middleman slack post-D1. Then again, since there were two other wagons that day - namely Manuel and myself - it falls into doubt a little. Add to that our mason buddies, who have thrown their lot in with the Manuel case, and I think he's far from cleared!

However, we DO still have the Flay wagon from D1 to consider. Now that two of the three quick-jumpers on it are confirmed scum, can we really think scum is suicidal enough to place three members on one quickwagon? And if they're so desperate to stop the given lynch, what does that make the Middleman!? Better still, what was Planet trying to pull by calling Manuel as a vanilla Townie at the end of day 2!? A genuine claim to clear himself?! A WIFOM to confuse us on his death?! Can we be sure either way!?

...This stuff is delicious! Is this what pizza tastes like in the future!?

Meanwhile, Almaz seemed to me like he was just misled with his tunneling on me, but then his last-minute 'Let's NOT lynch the bad cop claim and go for Gordon instead!' put him back on my suspicions. I want to see if he - mm-hmm, if I only I had some tea to go with this - follows up with his Hilda case from the end of the day.

*finishes pizza*

In short, all three of the members on the Flay wagon being scum feels too convenient. Middleman would need a pretty broken role to be worth taking that big a risk to protect. Middleman also evened up the Planet/Manuel wagons, so unless it probably is a case of 'either they're both scum or neither of them are scum'.

And again, that seems far too simple a ruse to pull on the DEFENDER OF EARTH! I'll work along with either wagon if it ends up running, but I suspect our foes may be hiding in the shadows instead! For example...

##GORDON VOTE!: Hazel

Besides the admittedly relatively ambiguous points with Prinny suddenly defending Hazel after he fell under suspicion, note that her vote remained away from Prinny for the whole of D1, and she didn't move onto Captain Planet until after the roleclaim that no-one believed. And she still feels the need to validate her vote in the face of this. Worth pressure, for sure!

[Asuka Langley]

EBWOP: Gah, still have pizza caught between my teeth and the words aren't coming out right.
I meant 'Middleman also evened up the Planet/Manuel wagons, so it's probably a case of 'either they're both scum or neither of them are scum'.'

[Bill Hellsnake]

Mr. Gordon, as incredible as it may seem, in my most recent adventure, I saw the entire scum team pile onto two different targets on the same day.  While I agree it's hard to credit, it's something I have seen, and can confirm with my own eyes.

[Asuka Langley]

Mr. Gordon, as incredible as it may seem, in my most recent adventure, I saw the entire scum team pile onto two different targets on the same day.  While I agree it's hard to credit, it's something I have seen, and can confirm with my own eyes.

Which is why I'm willing to work with it if the majority of Town goes with it. Still, no harm in putting some pressure elsewhere in case that theory is wrong, is there? In a setup of 16 players 5 scum is very possible, so even if the wagon jumpers AND the Middleman are all scum there could still be more out there.

[Bill Hellsnake]

It's more trying to shoot down arguments based on that meta.  Especially since we had three trains yesterday.  Which reminds me of another reason I'm on Ears, since his being scum implies Middleman as a Klingon, and Mr. Gordon as Federation.  Honestly, there's a few things I want to look at, but things are busy here at present, and so I may be a little delayed on my research.
