Convoy VI: Run Bandit, Run

[Kish]

Well, well. That right, Aventine?

[Logic]

@Murska: had I changed my vote it wouldn’t have changed anything. Since I’m on mobile, I have to type out the [color] stuff to vote, which takes time. I didn’t want to waste time doing that when it wouldn’t have mattered anyways.

- - - Updated - - -

Screw it, gonna die if I don’t claim anyways. I’m the seer/fool and I scried Aventine as Deputy Cletus Hogg.

OK BoP, I'll play follow the seer; Aventine for pressure. Got something to say in your defense?

[Xihirli]

I am very sorry for my minor activity. I've been going through finals week and I'll hopefully be more active this weekend (learning Hebrew isn't as easy as it sounds).

We do seem to have a seer-test going on and I genuinely have little to add to that other than Aventine.

[rakkoon]

@Kish & Logic: thanks for the clarification

@Logic: relax, it was just a vibe because you had time to switch and you didn't. I thought you would. You could have had the same reason as me.

Obvious Aventine vote

[Deathslayer7]

Who bothers you by having a chance to switch? I'm going to assume for a moment you mean Xihirli until you clarify, but in Extrail's case, no matter his alignment, voting for Graydeath was the right move. I'll have to give a stronger look at Duck, but you may be on to something with Xihirli. As far as I'm concerned, Extrail is in the same spot he was when he made the bloodthirsty post.

Something I forgot to bring up earlier: Rakkoon, why exactly are you voting for me? Please point something out. I'd love to hear it, and I'm sure town needs to hear it as well.

I was referring to Xihirli and not Duck and Extrail. I should have used she not they as the pronoun there.

Aventine

[Ramsus]

Well Aventine it is then.

[Murska]

Fair enough. Aventine.

[Aventine]

On my phone. You're an unlucky fool or a lucky devil. I don't have a wolf scry to test, sadly. I'll be more active and attentive in a few hours...

[Requilac]

Hey Requiliac I appreciate you standing up for me, however you got my pronouns wrong. It’s they/them, not he/his.

Also, I don’t like how silent half of the player list is being. Refusing to talk only helps wolves.

Aventine, got anything to say?

My apologies, I will seek to be more accurate in the future when it comes to the use of pronouns.

I believe you're misreading the point.

A villager has no other way to influence the game aside from the lynch vote and the discussion around it. Therefore, one would assume a villager to care greatly about who gets lynched, and pay attention to the discussion. I do realize many people don't do this, unfortunately. However, in BoP's case, there was an early vote followed by a late comment. The comment means they did pay attention, but not changing their vote means they did not particularly care to steer the lynch. With the lynch already pointed at an innocent, that fits a wolf profile - they'd want to keep an eye on the situation but they'd not put skin in the game if things were already looking good. A townie who doesn't like the lynch wagon should be arguing against it and pushing another wagon, a townie who likes the lynch wagon should be jumping aboard with jubilant cheer. Only wolves don't care.

Requilac, what I think you're missing here is: It's almost always better for town to kill someone than no one, because the wolves can just sit tight and win (by reliably killing someone who's town almost every night) if town doesn't kill people. In the absence of active suspicion, feeling neutral toward someone is a reason to vote for them.

Ah yes forgive me for my lack of knowledge, I am not exactly the most experienced nor the most wise when it comes to matters such as this. But that still leaves one question unanswered Murksa; I neither jumped on the bandwagon nor argued against it, so why didn't you say anything about being suspicious of me if I had committed to the same folly which BoP did?

_____

That being said, I find the most prudent action now to ride along with the bandwagon. Aventine, do you have anything to say to defend yourself?

[Extrail]

I guess I'll follow the bandwagon aventine

[Aventine]

Uuuh, to be clear, that was a counter-claim. (Trucker scry on xihirli)

[Aventine]

Ah, screw it, there isn't enough time left in the day. Devil PM me if you see this before end-of-day and I'll set you up with a QT

[Rain Dragon]

Just posting quickly in case I don't come back to this game since is there like, 3-4hrs left at most?

There are lots of votes testing the seer claim on Aventine.

I admittedly am unsure what's best to do about the two seer claims especially in a game where there's a baner?
Since there's not much time and Aventine has tons of votes, in case it's right to switch off there's a vote still on Rakkoon, Xihirli and Deathslayer7.

What? Aventine?

What? Aventine?

*shrug* two hours to end-of-day. Not really enough time to CFD. I mean I got two more votes after my claim. With a disconnected devil best/only play left is to accept that I'm dead and connect the devil.

Oh, ha. That makes sense. I didn't realise.
And now I'm feeling quite silly.

Sorry I've been out all day.

Day 2

The trucker known as Big Bird had pulled his rig into a rest area. It had been a long haul, and he needed to feed his avian friends. Using a special key, he climbed into the golden gilded cage, and shut the door behind him. He then proceeded to the feed container, and began his regular feeding routine.

Unfortunately for him, he hadn't noticed the white 1977 Plymouth Fury, with pretty blue and red flashers on top. Inside, Deputy Cletus Hogg was busy with his second lunch of the day. He was just about to take his second bite of his teriyaki chicken sub, when he noticed a phoenix emblem blazing across the hood of the rig right behind him. Almost dropping the sandwich into his lap, Cletus scurried to get out of his vehicle.

Weapon drawn, Cletus quietly made his way to cab and started to peek inside, but her heard the trucker calling out to his birds, and so as quiet as he could, made his way to the back of the trailer. Shakily, he climbed onto the back, and into the cage. "Stick you hands in the air!" he called out with authority.

Big Bird, not wanting any trouble instantly raised his arms up, and slowly turned to face the office. "Wh-what seems to be the prob... Shut the cage!!" he says urgently, pointing with one raised hand toward the door.

Oddly enough, the birds seemed to take notice of this movement, and all at once converged toward the entrance. Cletus, not being the best of cops on his best of days, dropped his gun, which thankfully didn't discharge, and fell to the floor, instead of trying to shut the cage.

For the next four hours, Cletus and Big Bird rounded up as many of the avian-lovers birds as they could. Some were never found.

Aventine was Deputy Cletus Hogg, of the Hazzard County, Georgia Sheriff's office.

BoP turned out to be correct, which means he either was the seer or had to be really lucky. Bandit, why don’t you offer some protection for him? The bears are without a doubt going to try to night kill BoP.

[BasketOfPuppies]

BoP turned out to be correct, which means he either was the seer or had to be really lucky. Bandit, why don’t you offer some protection for him? The bears are without a doubt going to try to night kill BoP.

But they know the Bandit would go after me, so clearly they’ll target someone else. But the Bandit would know that, so they’d target someone else too. The bears, however, should expect this, so they’ll target me. So clearly they can’t choose the wine in front of you...

TL;DR the correct move is either to bane me or to not bane me.

[Lex-Kat]

Rules clarifications:

Are PMs allowed? Yes.

A re-read of the roles has led me to believe that the Fool scry is ALWAYS wrong. So even with random results, they cannot get lucky and come up with the correct role. Is this thought process correct? I decided for this game, the Fool is 100% inaccurate. There is a better chance of snowfall in Death Valley than Lisette being right.

Back in WW Central, it says that the Seer only sees sides, not specific roles (as opposed to the Devil, which sees down to specific role). In the role descriptions, the text indicates Seer only knows Buford T. Justice and his son, Junior. So, the question is, is the Seer scrying more accurate than listed in Central, and, if it is, just how accurate is it? Roles descriptions in a game always trumps WW Central.

Does it reveal a Bear (or Trucker's) specific role (even down to special role name)? Is it only specific with Buford T. Justice and Junior, and reads the rest as Bear? The Scries for both the Undercover Trucker and Frog are accurate to the role name of each player they scry. Sorry, I should have been more specific in the description.

[Ramsus]

There is a better chance of snowfall in Death Valley than Lisette being right.

Uh....

Well your statement isn't technically inaccurate I suppose?

[Kish]

Exactly how wrong is Lisette? Does she consistently read Bears as Truckers and Truckers as Bears, or might she, e.g., see the Sheriff as a Deputy or the Bandit as a regular Trucker?

[Lex-Kat]

Lisette's consistencies

Any Bear will not read as any other Bear, but can read as any other role.
Any Mason will not read as another Mason, but can read as any other role.
Any Trucker will not read as another Trucker/Snowman, but can read as any other role.
Bandit will not read as Bandit, but can read as any other role.
Frog will not read as Frog/Lisette, but can read as any other role.

Night 2

A dark blue bear is following behind a black trans-am, checking on his plates. A second Trans-Am speeds past, slows down quickly. The driver tips his hat, then takes off. Calling in, the squadie starts to pull into the other lane to give pursuit, to only nearly crash into a semi going past.

Over-reacting to almost getting himself killed, the bear drives off the road and onto the steep embankment.

A smokey thinks he has the The Bandit, only to lose both him, and his original target.

[Xihirli]

I'm going to be putting some reads on a lot of the confirmed wolf's posts.

Counterclaim Posts:
Trying to survive.

Uuuh, to be clear, that was a counter-claim. (Trucker scry on xihirli)

Okay so reading that it's hard to tell if this is to get me lynched instead of him to test his scry result or if it's to get you all to vote for a Trucker if he dies. OR if I'm a bear and Aventine is trying to make you think he's trying to link the two of us. It's tough.

By my count Xihirli did save Extrail, though I would expect a wolf to be less obvious about things if they're wolf buddies.

Oh this looks like soft distancing, made worse by me piling onto the same bandwagon as Aventine. This is not looking good for me wow.

BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD, SKULLS FOR THE SKU...I mean...uhhh...yes, I am a normal villager typing on my villager computer and driving my villager truck with my villager hands.

No read here I just like this one.

Well jeez, if even you're gonna do it, you logically can't complain about my bad pun.

This D1 vote doesn't read as distancing to me. It's just a joke everyone gets to use once ninety times. Town lean on Logic.

Rain Dragon voted D1 for Aventine. Just noting that I don't have a lean.

Sure. People I'm most suspicious of right now in order.

Xihirli
Ramsus
Rakoon/Aventine
BasketofPuppies

So we've got a Seer and a Bear on here. Aventine putting a vote on Deathslayer and Death putting Avie on the suspicion list could be distancing. Aventine also shared a spot with Rakkoon and that was weird. I want to buddy up with Ramsus or Basket if we were doing that. It is odd that the only known bear on there is listed differently than the others.

So I'm a bit suspicious of Deathslayer7. I think the only one who looks guiltier than Death is me right now.

[BasketOfPuppies]

Rakkoon is Junior Justice.

[Ramsus]

BoP, couldn't you have waited longer than one other person voting so we could have gotten information out of the day?
Rakkoon.

[Xihirli]

Okay so unless BoP was vortexed that means that both bears shared a spot on Deathslayer's suspect list that's kinda weird.

[BasketOfPuppies]

BoP, couldn't you have waited longer than one other person voting so we could have gotten information out of the day?
Rakkoon.

Sorry, haven’t been a Seer in a looooooong time.

[kgato503]

Rakkoon. At this point, I am reasonably confident that BoP is our Seer.

Okay so unless BoP was vortexed that means that both bears shared a spot on Deathslayer's suspect list that's kinda weird.

How is it weird? All that means is that they both bliped at about the same level of suspicious (which, considering they are both Bears, makes a lot of sense in hindsight).

Also, what do you mean by vortexed?

[BasketOfPuppies]

A vortexer is a power role (usually wolf or neutral) that targets someone every night. The targeted player’s night action instead targets a random player, but they’re told that it targeted who they intended. So if I was vortexed last night I would’ve targeted the actual Junior Justice and would’ve been told that Rakoon was Junior Justice. Does that make sense?
