GAME OVER POST 733 - WW - The Jihad of Muad'dib

[cougarfreak]

Let's go with the tie, since rules weren't specified for that.

[saldana]

3 minutes to go, 5 for RA, 3 each for Packer and Autumn

[Chief Rum]

You want a tie?

[PackerFanatic]

This is why I wanted to look at Pass...

[Autumn]

That's what I'm wondering Chief. I wonder if CW has it right about Pass wanting a tie for some reason.

[dubb93]

I don't like Pass here at all. He just keeps moving his vote around. What is the current vote count?

[Autumn]

unvote packerfan
vote raiders army

[Passacaglia]

I have 3, 3, 5 with RA in the lead. Isn't that right?

[Chief Rum]

If I read it right, it's RA on the block. And not a tie.

[Passacaglia]

Well, 6 on RA now.

[PackerFanatic]

Holy movement at the end there...

[Chief Rum]

Yes, Pass, before Autumn's move, that was the vote. Now it's even more certain.

[Passacaglia]

I just wanted to see who else would follow dubb on Autumn. I think cougarfreak took the bait. Of course, we'll see what that means eventually. But I'm thinking if RA comes out bad, cougar looks bad for trying to save him.

[Autumn]

I want to make sure we don't get a tie, and obviously would prefer not to be lynched. I'm really suspicious of this push away from PF and towards me or RA though. I expect he'll be good and suspect therefore PF is not.

[Passacaglia]

And Autumn -- see, I told you a lot can happen in 10 minutes!

[Chief Rum]

Quite the bet there. Your bet isn't just on hanging coug with RA's badness, but your own on his goodness.

Do you mean on Autumn's goodness?

[Autumn]

Yeah, this is exactly the sort of "a lot" that I'd prefer not have happen. I agree, sometimes you can learn things, but sometimes the chaos is an excuse.

No, RA. You essentially were a key engineer here in RA ending up with the lynch. Your moves caused confusion, and have done so all game, not just now. If RA comes up good, I am inclined to lynch you sooner than later.

[Autumn]

If it was just anyone random doing this, I would bet that they were the Fremen traitor and trying to get noticed. But I seem to remember Pass just being like this at times. Does that sound right to others, or is this out of character? If so I'd bet the Fremen angle.

Frankly Pass's involvement seemed more inclined to A) cause confusion and/or B) keep people away from PF. It's odd to me that PF was a leading candidate 20 minutes ago and ended up not even in the conversation. Going back to see who caused that will be interesting.

[saldana]

The death of a Fedaykin still fresh in your memory casts a pall of silence over the early part of the day. Even into the evening hours, very little has been said, but as you watch the twin moons rise over the dunes, arguments begin over who may be responsible for the deaths that have plagued your band of warriors.

Choices are made, and then changed, and then changed again, and in the end, the decision of whom shall forfeit their water is final...Raiders Army.

As you stand before him he says very little in his defense. Could this mean an admission of guilt...is RA part of a conspiracy against Muad'dib?

Silently, RA turns and walks off into the desert in a manner very unlike a Fremen, and as he gets further away, it occurs to you that the precise measure and rhythm of his stride is intentional.

Lightning crackles across the sand in the distance as RA begins to reach the limits of your vision in the near darkness. By the time you hear the unmistakable sound of scales passing over sand, you have realized without a doubt that Raiders Army knew precisely how to summon a worm without a thumper...something only a true Fremen would know how to do.

Raiders Army was a Jihadi Warrior, and has returned to the black hole of the maw of the Maker.

[Autumn]

Bummer, well in that case it could have been me as much as him. But hopefully we learned something from this end game.

[saldana]

it is now night 3, orders are due by 6am

and CW, you're the only guy here roleplaying, if you fail me after that write up, its gom jabbar for you man

[PackerFanatic]

Then we definitely had two villagers on the block (me and RA) tonight...still unsure on Autumn, but I think Pass' moves late tonight garner him serious consideration tomorrow.

[Raiders Army]

Good luck Fremen!

[PackerFanatic]

If I knew anything about Dune, I might, lol

[Darth Vilus]

Ah damn really, we lynched another one of our own? That blows, I thought there was a real good chance with RA.

The only thing I really gather today is that pass looks suspicious now, we'll have to see what happens tomorrow. That seems weird to me though, I'm almost sure he's a regular jihad warrior. He's playing like he always does when he's a villager (at least in my opinion). I think he must have a special win condition or will gain an ability if there is a tie vote.

That's really all that i can come up with. I'll think more on it tomorrow, night all

[saldana]

The apprehension is palpable as you open your doorseals this morning. What happened to the fighter with the wounds inflicted by Telle? Will he strike again, and if he does, can any of you best someone that can beat a Fedaykin?

One of you will never answer that question, for as you pass through the caves of the Sietch, one doorseal remains closed. As the seal is opened, more moisture than expected can be felt escaping, as if water discipline has not been followed closely by the inhabitant of this Yari.

Then you see the source of the moisture, it is blood, pooled on the ground around the bed. Then you see the source of the blood...it is Chief Rum, lying motionless upon his bed, a hunter-seeker stuck straight into his chest.

CR is dead, he was a Jihadi Warrior.

it is Day 4, votes are due by 10pm

please let me know what you would like to do over the weekend...typically i run just a long night phase

i will not be on at the deadline tonight, so results will go up whenever i am sober enough to type

[Chief Rum]

Good luck, Fremen!

[Danny]

We may be looking at a seer reveal here. If there are 4 wolves, we are in end game scenario and even if 3, things aren't looking great. If the seer can catch a wolf they have to reveal, but even if they can clear 2 or 3 people, I think it's worth it to reveal as the wolves will have a pretty decent shot at hitting them with a night kill.

[Passacaglia]

But what if the seer can't clear 2 or 3 people? There's always the possibility that the people scanned are dead.

[Danny]

Well then no reason to reveal

[Passacaglia]

Well, there might be some reason to reveal, just not necessarily that one.

[Passacaglia]

Danny, looks like you and I are the only ones here this early. What are your thoughts on the day at this point (assuming we don't get a seer reveal)?

[Passacaglia]

Oh and PF is here, too -- I definitely want to hear your thoughts as well! Other than that trembling in your boots from whenever you think about Jay Cutler, of course.

[PackerFanatic]

The last thing I do is tremble when I think of Jay Cutler. I am, however, thinking of Aaron Rodgers shredding your D like he did ATL

In terms of the game - you (Pass) are still at the top of my list right now. Autumn truthfully still doesn't look that good...but I don't have much else beyond that.

[Passacaglia]

Day 1 vote:

PackerFanatic -- ntndeacon
Autumn -- Coffee Warlord, MartinD, Telle, Passacaglia
Schmidty/dubb -- The Jackal, Chief Rum
MartinD -- Autumn, Darth Vilus, Danny, Raiders Army, PackerFanatic
Chief Rum -- cougarfreak

[Danny]

I'm a little lost as to where to go at this point. Objectively, you and Autumn probably look the worst and with a limiting pool of villagers, that is even more true, but I'm not sold on necessarily going there. I have to leave in a few.

[Passacaglia]

Day 2 vote:

Autumn -- ntndeacon, Chief Rum
Passacaglia -- PackerFanatic, The Jackal, cougarfreak, Telle
Raiders Army -- Darth Vilus
Darth Vilus -- Danny
Telle -- Raiders Army
The Jackal -- Passacaglia, Autumn, Coffee Warlord

[Coffee Warlord]

It can be helped no longer, but I fear I must admit an error in judgement in not letting Passacaglia die sooner. The correct future can sometimes be difficult to read. And as much as Muad'dib wishes to kill a Packers fan...

Vote Passacaglia

[Passacaglia]

So here's the thing -- based on the way Day 1 voting went down, I don't think both Autumn and I can be wolves. And I know it's easy to say, "they both look bad, so let's try one" but it won't work considering that. One of us has to be more guilty than the other, independently.

Vote Passacaglia

I can see where you're coming from, but I just posted the Day 2 vote. If I'm a wolf, did no wolves try to save me? Or is Autumn a wolf with me? I don't think you can argue that Autumn and I are both wolves given my late vote for him on Day 1. So, really, in a vote that tight, no wolves voted for The Jackal?

Before I fully respond, correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't your late Autumn vote the one that originally put a tie in play for the Day 1 insanity?

[cougarfreak]

I don't think there's any question for me........I KNOW who I'm voting for this time around already, and I'm a rookie, just getting the hang of it.

VOTE PASSACAGLIA

[Coffee Warlord]

So here's the most likely Totally Wrong Analysis I've got rocking today.

1) Passacaglia is the cunning.
2) Autumn is a wolf.
3) So is DV.

OR

1) Passacaglia is the brutal.
2) Autumn is the cunning.
3) Our seer is out of his mind for not scanning Pass.

Day 1 - Autumn gets a run going, Passacaglia is placed in a difficult position of late voting a throwaway target, or forcing a late tie to create some confusion. Knowing fully well that no one is going to allow that tie to stick, it's the best chance to save a lucky day 1 vote.

Day 2 - At the end of the day, it's was 4-3 in favor of Pass. That'd take a swing of 2 votes to save you, and with Autumn already on Jackal, it would be a horrid idea to have MORE wolves try and pile onto Jackal for the save.
Add to the fact you, once again, attempted to get all nutty with some tie-forcing madness.

Day 3 - Jesus, that's 3 days of insanity that you've been throwing out, brother. If you're the cunning, this is a damn spiffy way to do it. It'd about guarantee you got scanned, the seer wastes a day on you, and you just get to sew massive amounts of confusion.

Yeah. I do make mistakes, and I've been totally off my game here, but frankly, you've got a lot of work to do to sell me on someone else.

[PackerFanatic]

VOTE PASSACAGLIA

One way or another, we learn quite a bit tonight.

[Passacaglia]

Man, you must think I'm pretty ballsy. I don't think anyone would have given me crap for voting MartinD on Day 1 to avoid creating a tie. I don't remember exactly how Day 2 went down, but I was definitely in "save my ass" mode. I had a good feeling about Autumn then, though -- and that carried over to Day 3, when I moved to Autumn late to see who would bite, then moved back to save Autumn. I'll have to look at the count again, but I do remember cougarfreak moving. For whatever this says about the seer, I'm pretty sure I haven't been scanned. Can you find anyone in this game who trusts me so much that it seems like they scanned me?

Walk me through this. What are you expecting to learn other than my allegiance?

[Passacaglia]

Day 3 vote:

Raiders Army -- Coffee Warlord, Darth Vilus, Danny, Chief Rum, Passacaglia, Autumn
PackerFanatic -- ntndeacon, Raiders Army
Autumn -- PackerFanatic, dubb93, courgarfreak
