Because we better be DAMN sure we know what we're doing if we lynch the Pharoah. The rules don't say anything about what happens if the Pharoah dies, but my guess is that chances are, it won't be good. |

If path is bad we have almost no way of winning the game because we can't kill him at night and we'd have to have three good ruling council members ALL agree with us. Furthermore, he'd have the power to kill three good guys, one at day, two at night, without any real chance of retribution. Don't you damn tell me path has just as much a chance of being a bad guy as the rest of us. |

Granted, bullet, who now has 3 votes on him, had the best chance to die anyway, since path's tie-breaking vote was on him. |

Those aren't "roadblocks", they're pretty much impossibilities. We'd have to have three good members of the Ruling Council and get them all to play along. And we'd have no bodyguard for most of the game. Although I'm fairly certain this is why hoops didn't say he was on our side, but come on blade. He also specifically stated the reason for his vote as revenge, and the vote doesn't do anything without any popular support behind it. |

Bek's vote strikes me as a combination of inexperience and stupidity, not anything malicious or an indicator that he may be a necro. Just take your vote off him Bek, he won't be lynched today no matter what anyway.
I had actually forgotten that soothsayer is neutral role until Blade's bolded post, so thanks for that it was of some use after all. |

WHy is he invincible at night? My fear is not that path is evil but that whoever would become pharoah after path was killed would be evil.

But if we suspect path is bad, then all we have to do is find out which member of the ruling class isn't supporting his ouster, and we lynch them. I think that on the off chance that we decide path is bad, a necromancer on the Ruling Council would be happy to kill path off -- give himself a chance to become Pharaoh, and also solidify some trust.

I dont see where we lose a lot by killing him...he cant issue orders to the EG(oh no, he gets to do it himself *gasp*). A new one is appointed. His helmet goes somewhere. I dont get why you think its soo impossible hes bad, or that he can be killed.

We'd lose the bodyguard because Path has the ability to order the bodyguard around. So he could just order the bodyguard to protect someone that he's not going after, therefore eliminating his benefit.

Vince said it. And the EG order is not bound by the every other night rule, so if he was afraid of the fanatic he could pretty much barricade himself in his room.

The only way I can see this being the case is if the guard guessed right in the first place; i.e. he chooses to defend XXX, gets re-routed to YYY, XXX dies during the night. If the guard chooses to defend AAA, the pharaoh orders him to defend BBB, and CCC dies during the night, I don't think that's concrete evidence that the pharaoh is bad.

I trust path because making him bad makes this game almost impossible for us to win, and because I don't believe hoops is stacking roles on us. Pharaoh + some other bad guy power, likely head, is giving one person a TON of power over the game.

I don't trust path. I'm not suspicious of him, but I don't trust him. You're missing Tyrith's point a little -- IF path is bad, we're already shooting blanks with our guard. There isn't much we can do about it, either. The process of killing path will (probably) take a few days, at the least, and the bad guys will know what we're doing fairly early on, and will plan accordingly. If we try to lynch path, we have to either have three reveals, or just hope that the ruling class is with us, therefore risking a no-lynch day. Which is a pretty bad situation. Combine the fact that there might be a necromancer on the ruling class, and we're looking at some serious roadblocks to getting rid of the pharaoh.

just to clarify and reinforce what blade is saying, not necessarily agreeing, just pointing out, that there is nothing in the rules that prevents Path from dying at night.

Blade, you're digging yourself deeper and deeper, in my opinion. Look at the prophecy...what do we know about the prophecy? We don't even know that the prophecy is an aid to the good guys. Then, there's your statement at the end... What makes what far from impossible? The combination of factors you presented in the first paragraph make the statement "Path must be good" far from impossible? "Don't think it does for a second." What does that mean?

The only people who would know are Path and the Guard. Do you think the Guard is going to come out and say "Hey, guys, I was ordered somewhere else last night. Gee, I hope they don't try to kill me now." And, in our dream scenario, if path is bad, he's not about to come out and talk about how he is redirecting the guard.

Ok, I'm going to take a step back, because I know Blade is just positing ideas, and that I actually agree that Path might be bad. But damn if it seems like he's trying to be ornery on purpose

I simply cannot fathom that path would start out as evil, ESPECIALLY if there's a ruling class member who is also evil. It would basically make it damn near impossible to overthrow him.

My last statement merely says dont think its impossible path is bad. Remember the spawn game. The mutiny is soo similar to the ruling class, as it took the other captains to kill ardent. We actually used it and did it. Ardent turned up good, but the one time ive seen a role like the pharoh, ardents captain role, had similar roadblocks and we overcame them.

Vote Bullesponge I said all along that I don't think that you can just come out and say the ruling class is good. I think if any of them are, we have to assume its likely to be path but I agree that is not gurantuee... But there is no reason that I can think of right now to try to lynch the pharoah when he has not done anything that seemingly hurt us or against us so far to cause suspicion. Being Suspicious just for the sake of suspicion is so 2005. |

so, if there were a necromancer on the ruling council, it would make sense for him to try and whack Path, giving himself a 1 in 3 chance of assuming the throne...then if another necro tried to whack HIM, they would be relying on their 75% chance of recognizing one another.
just in case i die tonight at the lynch, when it becomes clear that you made a mistake (and it will become clear)...i want to put out there that i totally believe in Dubb's reveal, it was obvious to me when it happened what was going on, and Sun wasnt in enough real danger to make it a necessity to save him at the point it happened, so those two are clear. as far as barkeep goes, i said this morning that i thought he was pretty high up in my list of trust but i had thought of something that dropped him down....i have now realized something else and can give you my list of trusted people. 1 Dubb 2 sndvls 3 barkeep 4 CW the top 2 are slightly above the lower 2, but they are my top tier, fwiw. |

I believe someone suggested earlier that path is neither Egyptian or Necro. That he is instead "above the fray" and has his own victory condition. I believe this to be true. However, if he dies it's also likely there is a replacement who might, or might not, be good/evil.

Ok, I thought I was going to have time to read this stuff, but I'm doing work at home that I would normally be doing at work. My wife is at work, and I'm alone with my 4 year old daughter, so I'm not having a lot of internet time right now.
I have no idea to vote for, and I don't want to make an uninformed vote that will decide things, so I'm not sure what I'm going to do.

That's sort of the point Tyrith was making that I was defending. If we want to lynch Path, it's going to take some doing. So while I'm not saying that he has to be a good guy, there are far better places to spend our efforts right now than on the Pharaoh.

Yeah, I know. The point I was defending was that it would take a lot of doing to unseat path as Pharaoh, and that it would be an incredibly difficult thing for the good guys to overcome.

You really wouldn't let go of that "Vince could have been converted" logic. You were the only one for like two days...then it all came a-crumblin' down.

Man, I'm not real happy with the way things are looking right now. The arguments for bulletsponge are pretty flimsy (though the vote for path is sort of indefensible), but there really isn't anyone else who is standing out either. I have to go soon, too.
