Re: WW/Mafia Fallout 3: Forecast - Rapidly Changing Conditions
Fear motivates you more than anything right now. Despite the shelter it has provided from the Wasteland, this Casino is little more than a death trap beneath a thin veil of empty promises and flashing lights. Several of your group grow bold enough to try the doors you entered from, only to find them locked from the outside. Trying to force the doors only attracted the attention of several suited men, who have now taken up positions to keep a closer eye on you all. Fleeting though it may be, sleep soon comes to all of you but one.
With practiced ease and almost permanent bags under their eyes, this lone figure rotates through three separate tables, eyeing each critically before declaring their next action. Piles of caps rise and fall like waves on the felt, never quite running dry or sating the gambler's thirst. The frenzied dance carries all through the night, hurried steps the first sounds to greet you all as the rest of the group awakens. It is clear that things have not gone well for the loner while you slept. Barely any remain of the once large piles of caps, until they finally run out. A fact painfully obvious to all but the one to whom it should have mattered most. Locked into the macabre display, their feet keep to the beat of the Casino and bets keep spilling from their lips as easily as their own breath.
whirr
With dismay, you all see the Securitron speeding up to the gambler and slam into them, knocking them off their feet with a strangled gasp. "Yes Man? Wait!" is all they are able to choke out before being seized by a pair of metallic claws. The smiling face flickers down at its captive with joy. "It looks like your luck has finally caught up to you. With all those numbers bouncing around your head, you should have known! And as for the rest of you" The poorly drawn smile seems smirk at the scattered group. "-you get nothing!" Its parting message echoes in your minds as it drags the latest victim to the rear of the Casino:
Congratulations, today's Lucky Number is 0!

Re: WW/Mafia Fallout 3: Forecast - Rapidly Changing Conditions
Well, that lucky number should at least make voting today less confusing. So do we assume that whatever happened D2 was a one time thing and vote as usual or does anyone have any better ideas?
Not sure who to vote for. I'm still suspicious of Jeen, but if the "extra" votes were an active power use it was presumably to save BW and/or blade (on that topic, it's worth noting that the dearly departed CCW voted blade both days, but since killing someone who suspects you isn't exactly subtle, that could easily be the wolves targeting CCW specifically so we'd suspect blade).

Re: WW/Mafia Fallout 3: Forecast - Rapidly Changing Conditions
Athedia grumbled as she set up her table. "Compulsive Gambler and he barely gambled, where do people come off getting these titles."
She spun a chip on the table before slapping it down and looking around at the remaining folks in the casino.
"I may be a humble blackjack dealer but at the same time, something is seriously affoot. We got lucky the first time. Yesterday Blade voted for himself and then thought to make a little joke that he might be voting himself off. Odd. But some do turn to humor in stressful situations."
She had switched to cleaning off the felt, shifting those seated at her table back as she made sure it looked fresh and unspoiled by continous days and nights of use. Or had it been mere moments? Casinos are windowless clockless places for a reason.
"Personally Jeen or Cazero seem likely to me. For someone who says Cao was their closest town read you seemed very quick to designate them a target day one Cazero. And after Murska had lobbed you a softball to help you escape a pressure vote."

Re: WW/Mafia Fallout 3: Forecast - Rapidly Changing Conditions
Athedia, can you explain your Cazero read in light of Murska pushing Cazero over Cao D1, and yet Cao is confirmed town?
(A couple other things from Athedia pinged me wrong, but I'm busy right now so I can quote those later.)

Re: WW/Mafia Fallout 3: Forecast - Rapidly Changing Conditions
Let's see. If that's the case, we're probably looking for new, or reckless players. (I'd say a vortexer, but why would a vortexer target Corn and get themselves shot? Unless it's a random vortexer?)
Possibly Athedia, def Lentrax. Book could get a point for being inattentive.
Like that's JUST enough for a minimum assumed amount of wolves (either 4 or 5)
Caz was pretty reckless in deal with the devil. But that was with only them remaining so I'm not sure if that's their standard protocol.
Crap now I'm feeling stuck not really knowing who'se got reckless plays.

Re: WW/Mafia Fallout 3: Forecast - Rapidly Changing Conditions
"I am curious what pings as "wrong" as I have been 100% truthful this entire game. But let us examine the things that make me suspicious."
An old CRT flickered to life showing certain quotes as she talked.
"Just going back to page 3 here. And even then I will be honest I maxed out my quotes. This looks to me like an attempt to deflect off Cazero, why should we suspect him?"
"Again an attempt to prevent a pressure wagon, but now Murska is drawing attention."
"Finally at this point Murska can't not join the pressure wagon as his protests have started to draw attention."
"This entire exchange here made me uneasy. As Murska seemed to interpret my response as agreement, when in fact I was accusing him of going off of nothing."
"Forgive me for tripping out the blackjack, but it is immaterial for these purposes. As I suspect you as well Jeenleen, I will be honest that this feels like another attempt to draw attention off a fellow wolf."
The CRT started to flicker so Athedia went up to it and ejected the security tape before turning to a stack beside her and inserting a new one.
"Sorry, these old tapes only hold so much data. I ran out of space on this one."

Re: WW/Mafia Fallout 3: Forecast - Rapidly Changing Conditions
Suspicious of the blackjack dealer, Jeen heads to an empty table. He shuffles a deck from his pocket, then places it on the table. He then shuffles another deck, places it across them him. He draws five cards, then places a monster and spell/trap face-down. Speaking to no-one in particular, he faces the empty side across from him and says, "Your move."
...maybe the stress is getting to him.
Sometimes a vortexer power works like "target player X and choose player Y", then the mechanics of how powers flip-flop or redirect, and it's explicit that only player X is targeted for purposes of powers.
If such is the case this game, someone might've redirected someone to target corncob.
I really wish we got the mechanics of his power. Assuming he wasn't just lying, it might be informative about what happened and help us find a wolf (assuming a townie steps forward to say they redirected someone to corncob). I am not saying someone should; think about if your intel is trustworthy and how much it really reveals before claiming.
Okay; I get that explanation. Not convinced by it, but it's believable.
I'm pretty confident Cazero is town. Maybe that's biased, but Murska could easily have voted Cao D1 instead of Cazero. He didn't.
Yeah, I know there's times to bus a scumbuddy, but that doesn't seem a good time.... :: sigh :: Well, alright, I'll admit that if Caz did flip wolf, I'd 100% trust Murska now. So maybe you are right (in logical argument, not Caz's alignment.)
Hmm...
I still read Murska's prodding about "why vote Caz" as wolf setting it up so he doesn't look wolfy when Caz flips town. I could be wrong, but that part feels fake in light of Murska's flip.
As for the argument against me... yeah, I get that if Caz flips wolf, I look bad. Especially after this post. But I still think, if the D1 wagons were between wolf!Cazero and town!Cao, Murska woulda voted Cao.
- - - Updated - - -
Athedia, this post of yours rubbed me the wrong way.
Not any of its content, but there were two competing, high-vote wagons near EOD, and this was made near EOD. There was almost no chance for a Kraken (Merel) wagon to form, and little chance Kraken would be around to even respond.
So you gave a kinda-useful post, with little value. Feels like a wolf wanting to participate, but not to screw up the wagons.
On a tangent: your RP's been great. A lot of fun to the game. Love the last line in this one.

Re: WW/Mafia Fallout 3: Forecast - Rapidly Changing Conditions
"These tie in with a below quote but as we are missing context Illven points out that Persolus was a D1 in the previous game."
"I will give Cazero this. He is correct, the game is purely because I found the idea amusing. I get no mechanical benefits from it. But as a thought for day one this is basically useless. It looks like it contains information, but guessing that an overly complicated concept such as actually playing blackjack isn't a real power isn't a far stretch. For that to be a real power you would need a player to virtually opt in to the concept, as well as other players. So he gets no points for giving a soft answer to a softball question."
"In fact I would go so far as Murska and Jeen setting up Cazero to answer a question so they can eventually back off of him thus clearing themselves."
"Did we ever have a vig claim? I would say even the wolves didn't take this seriously. Trying to give Cazero another out and then 'noticing' the soft answer. To which Murska responds with two more softball questions. Why should we not kill you? Murska is a wolf he will 'believe' any answer his fellow wolf gives. And then who should we kill"
"Deflects with a non answer for why he should not be killed. Targets Cao."
"Murska accepts the softballs."
"Time pressure on Cao, a gamble that there will be no response in time."
"Cao points out that Murska believed Cazero's using the same reasoning. This put Murska in a tough position."
"At this point attempting to bus one of the wolves was the safest choice."
Athedia ejected the tape, before picking up one last one.
"I believe this has explained my thoughts based on what I believe was a set of three wolves who had backed themselves into a corner. Yes three because I do believe JeenLeen, you are a wolf."
She put in the final tape.
- - - Updated - - -
The tape spun to life, two final quotes illuminated on the screen.
"The timing of these two posts feels suspicious why would an experienced player not put down their vote first before trying to cross out an old one?" And somehow manage to post at exactly the same time. Unless Jeen you timed this and waited for Flat to post so that you could appear to be voting for Cazero who you and Murska had agreed to bus. But you had seen the opportunity to not actually bus him but when he got revealed later show you had tried to remove him."
She looked at Jeen disappointedly.
"Your play is either that of a wolf or you have suddenly gotten sloppier."

flat posted while I was writing/hitting Submit on my post. I can't prove that, but it was coincidence.
The sloppy timing of it was my wife wanted something when I was getting ready to make my vote change and give the rationale, and when I got back it was almost too late. Well, wound up being too late, but flat hadn't posted yet.
Your argument for me being a wolf seems to hinge on Cazero being a wolf and us being scumbuddies.
I don't know his power, and I don't want to fully claim mine, but I will say I could block a kill. I've also been more active than him. If it comes down to us, I recommend testing him first.
I think I'm also finding some logical flaw in your argument, but maybe I'm misremembering how the votes actually were. I gotta go make lunch, but be back in a bit. Someone call me on this if I forget to come back to it.

"Good sir, that is poker. I am a mere humble blackjack dealer."
"Of course you would not find it believable. It implicates you. And then explain your 'attempted' D1 last minute swap to Cazero?"
"Simple, I had wanted to make it clear which wagon at the time I felt we should be truely have been watching from D1 and felt discussion had drifted away. As for it being near EOD, it was the weekend and I was busy. I caught up while on a call with my lovely boyfriend, a very patient man who let us pause our movie. I liked neither the bladescape or Book Wombat wagons. Strange as I am usually an eager voter for Book Wombat I know. The only other option at the time would have been to add your name to the mix, but while I suspected you at the time, I had not had the time to go and reread my gut feeling."

The dealer had been cleaning up the tapes and stacking them neatly when she whirled around poking at Jeen accusingly."INCORRECT!"
"As per the contract we all signed when we entered this building, the most recent legal vote is the one counted if more than one exists. That meaning the most recent red and bolded vote. This was even tested day one. As I stated before this is sloppy behavior I do not usually expect from you. Thus I have to presume you are scrambling and thought with my dedication to the fine art of being a blackjack dealer you could easily point the target at me."

Re: WW/Mafia Fallout 3: Forecast - Rapidly Changing Conditions
Athedia does make a good case for trusting Caz less, though I don't think it's enough for me to vote him at the moment (getting voted by a confirmed wolf in a situation where it was likely to matter is worth a bit of towncred, I think, even if there are alternate explanations).
Though we do seem to agree that JeenLeen, so maybe we can start there? As a bonus, if Jeen flips wolf I think BW is a little less likely to be (granted, the vote on Jeen D2 was unlikely to matter and the vote today was very early, but it's something).
- - - Updated - - -
While I'm not sure I agree with her case about Caz, I kinda want to give Athedia some towncred for making it, as I feel like a wolf would pick an easier target.

Re: WW/Mafia Fallout 3: Forecast - Rapidly Changing Conditions
Urgh, getting busier than I had hoped, so I might not have this right, BUT:
The logical flaw I thought I saw in Athedia's argument was that it seems odd for wolf!me and wolf!Murska to try to bus Caz, but maybe I just misunderstood or misread the vote situation near end of D1.
I'll not take the time to try to defend myself on that point. I agree it looks bad for me if Caz is wolf, but I don't get the suspicion otherwise.
Also not liking the combined forces of Athedia and BCH. By which I'm saying I think they are more likely to be two wolves than me and Cazero.
That was me just misreading.

Re: WW/Mafia Fallout 3: Forecast - Rapidly Changing Conditions
I'm not sure whether this is a good idea. While I don't think anyone would automatically guess my role based on its name, I can sort of see a connection. Similarly, it makes sort of sense for the card counter to have a scry. So revealing our role names might give (admittedly vague) information to the wolves.

Re: WW/Mafia Fallout 3: Forecast - Rapidly Changing Conditions
Wait, what? Sorry, are you talking about the types of roles that exist, or did I miss information (or are you claiming to know) that the only non-wolf killing roles in this game are vig and SK?
Yeah, I am really, really not liking this. Athedia is pushing really hard for people to name their roles; this isn't necessarily wolfish, but this does not feel like town behaviour to me at all. I am getting very strong neutral vibes here. It's possible that flat dying was just a bastard mechanic designed to sow confusion or a trigger-happy dayvig, but it's a good reason not to provide the names of your roles.
I don't necessarily trust the Cazero claim - that seems like an easy enough power for wolves to fake, or just have in general, especially because he's not revealing who was jailed N2 - but it's enough to get me to back off for now.
I would strongly, strongly suggest not revealing your role names. I suspect Athedia needs to assign a certain number of titles to players to win, or else has a mechanism of shooting via roleguessing (though AV is a strong contender for that as well).Loser of Total War: Rise of Kingdoms

Re: WW/Mafia Fallout 3: Forecast - Rapidly Changing Conditions
"Oh hon, I wish but given the playerbases general lack of knowledge about both gambling and Fallout New Vegas that would be rather cruel. Unless they had a cheat sheet of role names. But I honestly doubt there is a role guesser. Wouldn't Cao have died much sooner if that was the case? The first part of the offer was genuine. I can let folks know if their name is Fallout New Vegas themed, this also goes for the dead. I was even trying to determine if role type (gambling vs Character) connected to wolves. House and the Drifter being different decided that was not worth pursuing btw. But I will admit that it was mostly bait to see how folks would react. But look at how blackjack is played. I can't reveal my own hand until you all decide to stand."
