Dethy V: Revived and Revised - Day 1

[Saposhiente]

Dethy V

Dethy is a werewolf game of logic, where everyone has a scry and is trying to find the liar.
Taking exactly 5 people, no exceptions, so sign up fast!
Rules:

• The stuff at WW Central
• The game begins in Night Zero, where there are scries but no nightkill
• Day ends when a majority of living players vote to lynch another living player, or after 72 hours, when the lynch will be decided randomly. Not lynching is not an option. You can choose to have your vote not count for the purpose of ending day for the first 48 hours by specifying that it is a deadline vote. After 48 hours, deadline votes will be counted as normal votes.
• Night ends after 24 hours if all actions are in by then, 48 hours if they're not. No-killing is not an option, if necessary the kill will be decided randomly.
• Roles are not revealed upon death
• No PMs
• No Cryptography. I don't care if I'm the only one who has tried it.

Roles:
All roles have a scry action at night. The Mafia's goal is to eliminate the Cops, and the Cops' goal is to lynch the Mafia. Cops are not told which Cop they are, only that they are a Cop.

• Mafia: Except on Night Zero, he must nightkill a player every night. His scries determine the exact role of the scried.
• Sane Cop: He scies people accurately
• Insane Cop: He scries people as Innocent when Guilty and as Guilty when Innocent
• Naive Cop: He scries everybody as Innocent
• Paranoid Cop: He scries everybody as Guilty

About the stuff I changed from the previous:
The different system of lynching: Because I wanted to see how it would change the dyamic. It is commonly used on other forums.
No PMs, no role reveal upon death, Cops scrying people as Innocent/Guilty instead of a specific role, Mafia getting a scry: Because I did the math and town had a significant advantage (and it still has one)
Player List:
5/5 players

1. Fleeing Coward
2. Bobby Archer
3. Zeb The Troll
4. bladescape
5. billtodamax

If you want to write exactly 5 narrations, feel free to sign up as co-narrator. You get to pick the setting if you do.

[Fleeing Coward]

I'll give it a try

[Bobby Archer]

This looks intriguing. I'm in.

[Zeb The Troll]

I've been away from this for a while. I'll give it a go.

[bladescape]

I'm interested. Intruiging is all I can call it.

[billtodamax]

I'm in!

[Internet Flea]

I guess I'll be an autolynch replacement then.

[Saposhiente]

The Mafia has received their Role PM; everyone else is a Cop.

Night Zero begins now and ends in ~24 or ~48 hours.
I'd rather it end in 24, so get your actions in!

[Bobby Archer]

Okay, do we want to try to organize everyone scrying the same person (or scrying in a circle) to keep one constant on our night 0 scries?

[billtodamax]

Everyone scry the player below you on the sign-up list. I'll scry FC.

[bladescape]

Everyone scry the player below you on the sign-up list. I'll scry FC.

This works, I'll scry you.

[Saposhiente]

24 hours have passed, prods sent to those without actions in.

[Saposhiente]

Since everyone has an action, length of night doesn't say anything, and all actions are in so Night 0 ends now
Scries happened
Day 1 begins now and ends when it does.

[Bobby Archer]

Okay, let's see what we've got.

I scried Zeb the Troll and he seemed Guilty.

This means I can't be the Naive Cop.

If I'm Insane, Zeb's a cop.
If I'm Paranoid, he could be either cop or mafia.
If I'm Sane, Zeb's mafia.
If I'm Mafia, I probably would have waited to see what other people's scries were before posting mine.

[bladescape]

Well, I scried Billtodamax and he seemed Innocent.

I can't be Paranoid, therefore. Copy Paste Bobby's piece from above and reverse it, change Paranoid to Naive. There you have my results. ;-)

[Fleeing Coward]

I scried Bobby Archer as Guilty so I'm not Naive either.
I disagree with Bobby's statement that if he was Mafia he'd have waited. There is no value in waiting for others to post their result for the Mafia as "scrying" someone as "innocent" and "guilty" have basically the same equity for them atm.

[Bobby Archer]

Pretty much, although there are certain combinations of verdicts that would allow us to exonerate at least one person. Mostly it was just a lame attempt at humor.

[billtodamax]

FC as innocent.

[Zeb The Troll]

Following the trend, I suppose, bladescape scried as Guilty.

I am also not the Naive Cop.

[Bobby Archer]

Okay, I spent entirely too much time running through the various possibilities:

As it turns out, I cannot be Sane. If I'm Sane, Zeb has to be Mafia and Fleeing Coward is either Insane or Paranoid. But both Bladescape and Billtodamax scried Cops as Innocent, even though in this scenario one of them would have to be Paranoid or Insane.

If I'm Paranoid, Zeb the Troll is either Sane, Insane, or Mafia.
If Zeb's Sane, Bladescape is Mafia, Billtodamax is Naive, and Fleeing Coward is Insane.
If Zeb's Insane, Bladescape is Sane, Billtodamax is Naive, and Fleeing Coward is Mafia.
If Zeb's Mafia, Fleeing Coward is Insane, and Bladescape and Billtodamax are Sane and Naive.

If I'm Insane, Zeb the Troll is either Sane or Paranoid.
If Zeb's Sane, Bladescape is Mafia, Billtodamax is Naive, and Fleeing Coward is Paranoid.
If Zeb's Paranoid, Bladescape is Sane, Billtodamax is Naive, and Fleeing Coward is Mafia.

Finally, if I'm Mafia (I'm not), Zeb the Troll is Insane, Fleeing Coward is Paranoid, and Bladescape and Billtodamax are Sane and Naive.

From these, we can get a few conclusions:

I can be Paranoid, Insane, or Mafia.
Zeb the Troll can be Sane, Insane, Mafia, or Paranoid.
Bladescape can be Mafia, Sane, or Naive.
Billtodamax can be Naive or Sane. Billtodamax cannot be Mafia.
Fleeing Coward can be Insane, Mafia, or Paranoid.

After the next night's scries, we should have enough information to get the Mafia pinned down.

So, now comes the random lynching, unless someone can come up with anything to narrow things down further.

[Zeb The Troll]

I can't find any fault with the logic, assuming all of the cops are telling the truth about their scries.

[billtodamax]

Coolio.

I'mma vote for Bladescape because he and FC tie for the amount of situations in which they're mafia in the thing Bobby posted.

[bladescape]

No problems with the logic, except maybe.....

Finally, if I'm Mafia (I'm not)

This. Anyone of us could say that, Mafia or not. Heck, most of us WOULD say that. (Quibbling, and not really serious, if anyone's asking.)

Also, since I'm in this crazy mood I was seriously tempted to vote Bill just because he wouldn't possibly be Mafia, but I'm not going to be non-sensical where one or two mislynches lose us the game.

FleeingCoward. For the reasons stated by Bill above and the fact that he isn't called 'bladescape'. Wouldn't know why anyone would want to lynch that guy.

[Fleeing Coward]

And I'm voting Bladescape because I know that Fleeng Coward person isn't mafia.
I'd like to point out that there are just as many possibilities of Bobby been mafia, he just clumped it together as one possibility which in itself is suspicious.
In fact if it wasn't for the fact that Bladescape is voting for me, I'd actually be voting for Bobby purely cause he's the only person other than me that can't be Sane.

[bladescape]

I ... honestly hadn't thought about that...

I think I need to pay more attention to the game.

[Zeb The Troll]

I'm voting for bladescape because I'm not Naive.

[bladescape]

I've been wagoned....

[Saposhiente]

Quick morningpost:

GAME OVER
TOWN VICTORY!
Sometimes, the randa-wagon works, and it did.
Role List (which I did find amusing)
So, thoughts?

[bladescape]

Well, that was easily the shortest WW game I've ever played.

Congrats guys. Didn't even lose one man before catching the Mafia. I think that I probably shouldnt've voted FC, and waited until his vote. Then perhaps I could've induced a BobbyArcher lynch. Ah, hindsight. Thy wondrous touch.

[cd4]

I think I will join the next game.
