The MSG Secure Hospital for the Criminally Insane (MSGSHCI)

"We don't call them inmates, we call them patients."

 

Night was falling on the hospital.

"Alright, into your room, come on..." a Nurse chivvied one of the patients into his cell, who had his head down. He slowly obeyed, but the guard in the corner of the room watched carefully. The Nurse began to shut the door, when suddenly a scream came up from a nearby cell. The guard turned. The nurse shut the door quickly, and turned to leave.

The patient's eyes, previously dull and submissive, became alert. He looked up quickly, and reached through the small window in his cell door and quickly plucked a key from the Nurse's back pocket. He withdrew his arm quickly before she turned around to check the cell had locked itself. A quick tug at the door, and she was satisfied enough, hurrying off to deal with the other patients.

 

The sound of footsteps slowly echoed through the corridors of the institution, made by the few people who were left on patrol. The inhabitants of this miserable place were now mostly quiet in their cells. Those who refused to be quiet had been sedated, and a slow calm was descending upon the place. Water dripped slowly from a leaky water pipe above one of the corridors. It was in this corridor where that one patient stood up from his bunk, and quietly unlocked the door. Something was about to happen.

the rate a which some one posts is dependant on a lot of things

 

for me i am just busy and try to find time to play this out

and i can't go out because i have some foot injuries :|

and i'd wish more people would post cause i'm bored :|

1st, I don't find Aquinas any more scummier for his change of votes on KevinH. I followed his logic and nothing pinged my scumdar. If anything he helped the town by putting pressure on someone. That's a good way to squeeze out some information that otherwise may have remained hidden.

 

2nd, don't think KevinH is any more or less scummy because he wants a Day 1 no lynch. I've played lots of games with KevinH and that's how he does it every time.

 

1. I have good feelings about Aquinas too, he certainly seems to be thinking rationally and said he would change his vote if it was proved that it was ill-placed.

 

2. I agree that KevinH always follows this strategy, but I do not think it should let him off the hook. By following his strategy he witholds information from the town, while we are anlayzing vote patterns and other simple things that help give the lynchings direction. In my eyes, since KevinH always follows this strategy he will always be hurting the town.

 

My perogative in this game is to have the town win the game, and choosing a lynch candidate is the only power I have as a townie. There is nothing that says I have to lynch the scummiest, I am going to vote to lynch to give the town the best chance of winning. Right now, I have no clue about who seems the scummiest, everybody seems to be acting rationally and townally. Therefore, I'm going to keep my vote on the weakest leak, KevinH. I've noticed in more than one past game that KevinH will vote if pressure is placed on him. Until he votes, or someone who seems scummy appears, I will keep my vote on him.

 

(Disclaimer: I <3 you KevinH, I used to believe in the no-lynch thing too.)

and i can't go out because i have some foot injuries :|

Good thing we've got a hospital for you. :gangster:

*SPAM* (For Martino >< ) Sucks about your foot, especially in the summer time. If it was winter it wouldn't be so bad. Anyways, after I saw my post count I feel the need to start climbing up the ranks a little bit. I'll try to post more so you don't get bored.

 

*Real Stuff*

 

Sir Jesus, you said that while Kevin's playing style is par for the course you are still voting for him because he is not helping the town because he will not vote lynch on Day 1. While I agree that it is preferable if he does so, I have a question about your logic. True, KevinH is not a help in discovering possible clues on Day 1. Sorry Kevin, I love your style but that's how I see it. Anyway, KevinH has a very unique set of analytical skills that make him a very valuable asset to the town later in the game. It's better to take a hit on Day 1 because he'll make up for it as time goes.

 

I've played several games with Kevin and I have always been impressed with his insight to the inner mechanics of the game. He has always appeared to be a sharp minded strategist and has helped his fellow townies win several games. He's not the weakest link and you said that he's not giving off any scum tells. If you agree with opinion that Kevin can be an asset later in the game it is only logical that you change your vote.

 

*Disclaimer*

 

I'm not saying that Kevin is giving me any pro town vibes at all. In fact he's one that I'm keeping a watchful eye on because of what I've stated before. This argument was only meant to give insight into my personal views of KevinH and to intellectually challenge SirJesus on his vote.

I agree. The fact that KevinH has a strategy he is so gung ho defending this early in the game only proves his knowledge on the subject, even if it is not one I agree with.

Unvote

 

I'm going to reread everything.

I've noticed in more than one past game that KevinH will vote if pressure is placed on him.

I always act in the town's best interest -- even if the rest of the townies don't see it that way

 

I don't vote for no-lynch out of principle. I vote for no-lynch because I believe that the "scumtells" that some people claim are not reliable at all. It's about a 75% chance of killing a townie that we will need later and I don't like those odds.

 

On the other hand, if I am about to be lynched, that's a 100% chance of lynching a townie and I will do what I can to avoid that. Forcing me to put a vote on the second-place candidate is not gathering any additional information; the vote for me might as well go on the second-place candidate straight off because it's the same effect.

 

I will also vote on day 1 if I know there's not a cop or pro-town power role (or that the chances are small that they exist).

I might even vote on day 1 if someone convinces me they already know something.

 

Nobody has convinced me yet here. The no-lynch vote stands.

We're not getting anywhere except the No Lynch debate still. I do still think sojourner is very suspiciousssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss

sssssssss.

We're not getting anywhere except the No Lynch debate still.

 

that's true. change subject people... otherwise i'll start to consider you scum for trying to spam my mind to death with totally unrelated information.

Well I still suspect KevinH, in as much as I think he has a pro-town role (of some kind) ...

 

As to the rest ... have no indications one way or the other ...

I just rolled a three and that's...Electric Mango! Coincidence? I think not!

Clearly because you accused KevinH, you're scum and the random generator knows it!

Here are your random numbers:

it was just a joke EM, no need to get so defensive...

I assumed the JK was for Just Kidding.

 

I forgot to mention that if it comes up 7 then the interpretation should be that person is townie.

LOL low activity = weekend lull
