POTC Mafia Game Thread Day 7 Town Win! Premium goes to Sully

[Victor Sullivan]

I told you he was (probably) a cult leader! That mean's town definitely has a vig, and by the results of Night 2, I suspect our vig can only target someone once every two nights? Either that, he's a JOAT and used up his one vig action, or he and the mafia just targeted the same person. Oh, well I guess there's also the possibility of a doc... Bah, I'm over-thinking, aren't I?

[strike wolf]

The problem with that is that the night one kill of Mr. Squirrel was obviously Davey Jones who we now know is the cult recruiter unless you can think of a tentacled vig who would be working on our side. I don't know what the deal is with our vig, he's either inactive or decided he didn't want to kill streaker for whatever reason. I guess it's not guaranteed that we have one but in a game this size and considering the set up is Pirates of the Caribbean the role fits and is a common one. Just an idea but falko who did you give your sword to night 1?

[freezie]

Honestly, with Mandy and Sax both quick hammering, I would say either of them is in Davy's cult. I doubt Jones himself would be stupid enough to clearly show himself at the end of a bandwaggon when he clearly has the advantage here.

So, vigs, if we got some, do NOT try to find the mafia. Edoc will do that for us. Concentrate on the Octopus dude..he's our biggest threat as of yet.

Agreed. I wouldn't mind getting rid of saxlad or mandy. Sax hasn't contributed much and has been scummy in what little he has done and Mandy has been highly scummy overall.

[freezie]

And one last thing:

Edoc, if you really are well intentionned, you will give us a new name before the night scene, if you can. Reason is, town don't want to seek a mafia overnight. With the near certainty of a cult, we want jones head.

IF we have a hidden vig, a mafia name would be essential for us not to ''accidently'' find him and instead give us a slightly better chance of finding jones.......Or, in your case, getting Jack killed before that said mafia.

Scene

With dawn breaking over the day and an apparent lack of deaths in the night before, all eyes turned towards streaker. Fingered by edocsil the day before, people wasted no time forming a mob and heading towards his house.

With the people at his doorstep, the only words he could muster was "It's just good business."



Streaker, Cutler Beckett (Mafia Godfather) has been lynched!

It is now Night 3, 24 hours to send in your actions.

[TheSaxlad]

I applaud Edocsil, although something still doesnt sit right with me.

[safariguy5]

Scene

A bald man walked down the docks. Although the cursed Cutler Beckett had been hung, he was sure the King's soldiers were still on the lookout for pirates. As luck would have it, 2 of them stopped him.

"Oy, you there, you look familiar to me" cried one of the soldiers.

"I'm sorry" the bald man said, "but I cannot help you."

"Oh yes you can" the other one shouted. "By dying!"

Before anything else could be done, the two soldiers emptied their pistols right into the face of the man and left him bleeding on the docks.

As his vision dimmed, a strange looking woman with dirty black teeth came into view. "I hope God brushes his teeth better" he thought as everything went black.

He woke up still lying on the docks, apparently no worse for the wear.

Meanwhile, a grizzled old man peered through his telescope. He was looking for someone to get rid of all the obstacles the pirates were dealing with. Surely, there must be a way of stopping the East India Trading Company and the forces of the sea.

A sound behind him made him whirl around in surprise.

A clawed hand packed an ivory pipe and stuck it to the wet lips of an enormous man.

"Tell me, do you fear death?"

"I do."

In another part of Tortuga, a dashing looking young man in a ponytail walked into one of the taverns. He spied his target sitting at a table.

"You must be the one who's been causing all the trouble!" he cried, drawing a shiny sword.

"Sorry, you have the wrong man" replied the other, drawing a much less shiny sword.

Although the sword fight seemed evenly matched, the young man's sword proved to be too much for the other, and the young man ran his target through before escaping into the night.

TheSaxlad, Pintel, Town Mason has been killed!



It is now Day 4! With 15 alive, it takes 7 to lynch.

[edocsil]

So Falko gave himself a sword and killed Sax. Tia Dalma protected a bald man. I would guess it was me, as a quick google of Bald Pirate POTC returns a picture of my character as hit #1. PERHAPS it could be Governor Swan, he wears a wig, but I cannot remember if he is actually bald, but the line sounds like it could be one of his.

And another recruit. My best guess I will keep to myself, although I think I know exactly what character it is. If any one else guesses it, please keep it to yourself as well, it will be far more useful info if the person can be caught after a claim.

Any other thoughts? Does the town wish to go with my names again today or are you getting nervous about the recruiter?

[got tonkaed]

This is why yesterday's speed lynch was stupid. There was no reason to miss out on an entire day of discussion regarding who the recruiter might be or to have failed to get a name out of edoc.

Id still argue that edoc should have to put a name forward as otherwise, he is the safest lynch. Having said that, it is probably equally as important to find where the recruiter might come from.

I am happy to give another name if we are going to hang him, but you can understand why I have no real desire to give you a name for a NK, it defeats the purpose of my gamble. If you would like to scum hunt for Jones I would be happy to help, and if the day drags out I would be willing to give you a name then for a lynch. Your guy's call.

[Victor Sullivan]

Hm, yes, I do believe edocsil was the target of the attempted NK, I mean, who else would it be? Governor Swan still had hair under his wig (though it was much shorter), so I don't believe there's any other bald people. Anyway, I don't doubt that we need to find out who Davy Jones is, but we still need another name, edocsil. We can't risk your dying tonight, so even if we do try to lynch Jones instead of an EITC member, we still need the name. I don't suppose we could look to who was most adamant about a quick lynch yesterday? Seems like that would be a place to start.

Perhaps it would, I don't recall. Unless you are lynching the EITC you will not get a name. There is no negotiating that. I need the kills in the night, or else I will lose. Once my names run out I will be killed, and I will not give you the name so the towns night kills will be sucked up on the scum. If you attempt to turn on me you will not get the remaining names. That would be lose lose for both of us, and neither party wants that.

[Victor Sullivan]

Sigh... Maybe we should lynch EITC today, then, and hope for a Davy NK or something... I just feel like blindly searching for Jones when we have a list of definite threats seems a little silly. Idk, guys, what do you think? I suppose it depends on how much of a threat we think Jones is in comparison to the remaining EITC member(s).

[nagerous]

Before we got distracted with all this lynching mafia business, my suspicions would still be on mandy.

Got tonkaed raised a good point at the end of the day phase, that we shouldn't speed lynch and mandy's response was just to mindlessly bandwagon. The next post was by Saxlad dropping the hammer. Now I expect that from Sax as he is more inexperienced at mafia but for mandy just to show in and vote sends me a message that he wanted to end the day quickly, thus further strengthening an already expanding cult.

Now it seems to me that we should definitely aim at lynching Davey Jones today and whilst I would love a name from edocsil, if that is not going to be our priority in the lynch it seems he won't give us one.. I therefore formally accuse mandy of being the cult leader.

Vote Mandy

Mafia are weak enough right now and if we keep edoc alive he can give us another name later. Meanwhile a cult recruiter is most likely recruiting a new member each night - if you can't see why this would be a priority right now then that is highly scummy.

Considering that Jones' group is on pace to endgame us if we keep following edoc's lead (on a more general note, hate to say I told you so but...), I say we take our chances and hunt for the squid.

Vote Mandy

Again, I''m all for going after Jones and this is as good a lead as any, but on what grounds do you say he's the cult leader as opposed to just a normal cultie?

[DoomYoshi]

I agree that the cult should be the big focus. There is no chance that mafia or town can win with the cult constantly expanding. I am not as sure I believe that Mandy is the cult leader. Got tonkaed also seems more interested in the list than the cult. Perhaps he could be added to your fos list nag. I am going to hold off on my vote for now as I want to see where allegiances lie before I agree to anything rash. The last two days have slipped me by and I don't plan on letting it happen again.

Ah, okay. That makes sense. Ol' Sully must be a little off his rocker. I get it now.

Vote Mandy

Even if he is just a regular cultie, we can look back at who he may have associated himself with, though you do make a good point, Mandy's actions don't quite seem up to leader status, but it's as good a lead as any.

Eh? No real evidence aside from analysing his day one behaviour in detail. From what I remember, he did seem a lot more calm and composed however compared to a more manic mandy that we have seen many times before, he was obsessed with the commander case but he didn't push for it in an excessive manner that I have seen in games like sherwood and many others. It would be in his best interests as a cult recruiter to try and lay low for as long as possible and his less wild character in my view can be seen as a scumtell, particularly a scumtell for a cult recruiter.

[edocsil]

So 21 players. 11 whose Alignment I do not know. Minimum there are 3 cult right now, Jones and his 2 recruits. There are 5 roles I KNOW are in the game and 1 I am 95% sure is in the game. I have several others, but while I suspect they are in the game I have no evidence. Just a word to the wise, if you force someone to claim, make sure you know what they are doing during the nights, its going to be one of the few ways to sort out who has been recruited, as they will lose their abilities.

[freezie]

FOS Victor

Agreed. Except.....


I think the moment's well deserved for myself to claim.

I am Mr. Gibbs, town Captain cop. Each night I may investigate someone and I will know if they are the captain of a ship, or if they aren't.

At first glance my role is...Weak. I mean I don't even know if they are town or not, needs to be protected or kill, or be left alone. But with how this game has been going, most captains have been outed or killed, so IN MY OPPINION, and to the best of my knowledge, 2 captains remains to be found :

Captain Jack Sparrow or
Captain Davy Jones.

We know who will is. Becket and the other have been killed. Barbossa has also been killed. I can't think of any other captain, so plz tell me which could be there.

Anyway, back on my claim. I got 1 positive result out of all, and it's a 50% chance ( unless I forgot one ) that I find Jack ( Edoc's target, good for us..and slightly for town ) Or Davy Jones, our big winner.

I won't tell who I found captainish right now. I will wait in case I forgot 6-7 captains and be completly off the track. But..yea. 50-50 on Davy jones..Or helping edoc :S

[pancakemix]

Well, how many members of the Pirate Council do we think are likely. By nature of getting elected Pirate Queen, Elizabeth is by default a good candidate to be a Captain.
