I'm about 100% sure on this one, time to trust me guys.

Vote: Aquinas

There is not much I can say at this point. I didn't vote the other day because I had no reason to believe in the case. The same reason I don't have a vote in now. I'd like my record to show that I vote on evidence when it presents itself. I don't find that scummy. However, I do see the case against me and I would probably agree with your reasoning if the tables were turned.

 

This will be an honest mistake if I go down. Townies keep this in mind in the coming days:

hmm...

 

Vote: Aquinas

 

i dont know what it is about you EM...but something makes me trust you. that said i(and you) have been wrong in many games previously.

 

i could see this going either way really. however i feel that the chance of scum lurking is greater then the risk in voting. or rather: i see it more likely that Aquinas was lurking and hoping that I voted against CD(even then it wouldnt have necessarily had a change in the lynch...but maybe it would have) rather then EM risking a vote on someone he knew wasnt mafia.

 

btw i changed this post a couple times while writing...so my thoughts may be a bit jumbled.

Vote: Aquinas

 

And with that, additional votes are needed - the day is over (regardless of Aquinas' vote, it will either tie with him vs. EM, and he wins due to seniority [see my quote, Kevin voted for him Jan 29 2010, 11:19am], OR he votes for someone apart from EM, and he wins with 3 votes).

 

I'll post the next part of the story as soon as I get the chance. No matter what, the people have chosen Aquinas. Guess it pays to vote after all

I'm glad that Aquinas is understanding.

 

But then again, a scum would try to act like a townie and be understanding ...

 

My vote stands and I really hope we don't have to apologize to Aquinas!

I hope your scum Aquinas

Not in my case. The way I see it at this point, without any evidence against me or anyone else we are just as likely to lynch a townie blindly if I voted for any other individual. (Mind you, I don't me statistically; I mean through reasoning.)

Be weary of this in the future.

Apology accepted. Surely, my posts have led to a wrong lynch at your expense in the past.

I hope your scum Aquinas

 

No you!

Good luck gentlemen! Eyes on Electric Mango and Narsis coming up. Give the pods hell boys.

 

**Aquinas begins crafting his last candle for his funeral. The longest and hardest candle the world has ever seen.**

I guess we'll have to see what happens next.....

[OOC: Sorry for the delay. I had a business trip to AZ, and it turns out AZ air either hates me or has some weird strain of flu virus I've never seen. I've spent more time on my back recently than this girl Emily I knew, and the only thing in the air that ever got HER in trouble was.... her legs]

 

Ahem, anyway:

 

Aquinas slowly crafted his last candle, the longest and hardest candle the village of Samwise had ever seen. The bartender, a regular customer of his, nodded in appreciation at the firm shaft and rounded tip. A single, solitary tear slipped down his cheek - and everyone got really, really wet. I mean, it started to rain pretty hard.

 

Unfortunately, Aquinas would never get to watch his last creation burn.

 

As the rope was slung high over that great tree (a different branch from the one Pod Man #1 was hanged on), Aquinas passed to KevinH his candle. Of all those present, he trusted this man the most - in some ways his vote had hurt the hardest. After a lifetime of knowing what to do with a candle, Aquinas was used to pain, but he never had thought it would come to this.

 

The crowd held their breath and waited for the tell-tale dissolving as Aquinas expired, but sadly nothing came. Just the sagging evidence that there was once a man here - Samwise had at some time possessed one more bright spirit, but that candle had been enthusiastically extinguished.

 

 

NIGHT THREE BEGINS

Edited February 4, 201016 yr by Bastille Hades

Aquinas was townie

 

This doesn't look good for me and I fully expect to be lynched tomorrow even though I'm a townie, I know if I were you guys that I would lynch me too. There's nothing I can really do or say to prove that I'm a townie and that the mafia have pulled a fast one on us.

 

Good luck town

CHOOSE YOUR OWN ADVENTURE...... BACKWARDS EDITION!

Now with added hindsight!

 

Alas, the game is over and the battle not won, as there was indeed a night kill. When the people of Samwise awoke the next morning, they found their friendly Bartender stabbed to death with a sharpened candle. Ironically, it looked very much like the hard wax of Aquinas' craftsmanship. Poor ScoutX, getting it as if from beyond the grave....

 

There only being four townspeople total, and two of them Pod people, the forces of human nature stand no chance against the greater threat of the plants. Soon Mark Wahlberg will be joined by a almost-all-star cast of people who run away from trees when they begin to rustle in the wind. Yes, The Happening is here - and the untold beginnings of these dark die were cast in a small town, where a young man named Narsis was the first lone Pod person, never suspected and *very* good at his infiltration job.

Yeah POD PEOPLE!!!

 

Was there any townie power roles in this game?

 

 

There was a investigator, who could find out if people were 'Pods (via Mod), and there was a Friend, who could tell a person (via Mod) every round that he was 100% for sure human.

What would happen if the investigator targetted the same person a pod person wanted to convert?

Were the investigator and friend immune to conversion?

The conversion happened at the beginning of the night, the investigation then occurred. So, for example, if I was converted and then investigated, I would be reported as Pod. KevinH was the investigator, and in this scenario that happened, as he was interested in Falzis right after the man was converted by Narsis.

 

As to if the Investigator or Friend could be converted, the answer is no. However, they could be killed. This never came up, as the two conversions from Narsis were Falzis and you, Canuk.

 

Answer your questions?

Who were the investigator and friend?

 

Narsis converted me on N1 thinking I had a power role... but yeah I win with the Pod people!!

KevinH was the investigator, ScoutX the friend. I thought things would get interesting when ScoutX asked me to tell Narsis he was 100% for sure human, as it would be a weird PM for a Pod to get, but he went ahead and converted Canuk anyway.

 

So far Falzis you're batting 2 for 2 - and I'm still scared of your prowess from Game 1, where you singlehandedly took down the Robots.

Good game, although I thought the odds were a little stacked for the pod people.

With only one pod person to start, two people nonconvertible, a cop and a friend? Day 1 it could have been over, had Narsis picked the cop or friend to convert he would be on his own day 2, so it could have been over then too. At any time he picked wrong, it could have been over. Also, had kevinH investigated the right person, it would have been over.

 

I ran the numbers on this and all the probabilities seemed to balance, if not favor the townies right at the beginning and slowly switch over time. Your best bet (I think) would have been to not lynch on day 3, giving the town the NEXT DAY option to lynch on a 3v2 where the odds are more in your favor (had there been a nightkill). If there was no nightkill, you would probably be in a happily ever after scenario, as the no-lynch / no nightkill would have meant peace in our time.

Yeah...it seems more balanced when you get to know the power roles in play.

2 people non-convertable with good abilities is indeed a strong advantange.

The "friend" ability was rather weak, but had I allowed for TWO powerful "power" roles that couldn't be Pod'ded it would have been game over for the Pods. Unless we started with two Pods, and then THAT would skew the conversion method as they would grow too quickly.

 

Like I said, I really made an effort to balance this. But I expected the town to win in the first 2 days, FYI, one correct lynch or one mis-conversion (odds were high he'd try to convert a power role) followed by the lynch would have ended it. Narsis earned his W.
