Effingham Heights: A Game of Homes Mafia Game Thread

[Crychon]

I swear I mentioned something similar yesterday.

 

 

You just said you didn't believe him. You didn't elaborate. At all.

 

Then you went back to saying Rabbit would be your vote for the day.

My bad. Reading back, I alluded something he said rubbed me the wrong way and not why. Should have done that. With Rabbit, I did feel he was scummy but felt his claim was an easy one to test whereas Zergon's is not.

[i effin rule]

Phase is over. Write-up later. Again, I apologize.

[Derek B]

Well.... I guess we get to see what happens here. I think there are lots of directions for the night phase and I'm hoping that this result comes through. I still think we should go with Destiny in future.

 

Bur more importantly, something I meant to mention before as Destiny asked why I had a problem with his questioning. I ask questions like "If you had to kill someone in the game, who would you choose?" looking for reads and ideas and general directions. Destiny asks questions like "is your target still alive?", which reveals things like abilities and ability usage... it's the different between questioning and fishing.... and if you need to fish to get good information, and don't understand why it's so dangerous to do that AND to why it makes you look so scummy to me.

 

This is why I still have a really bad feeling about Destiny. I have some bad feelings about other players too. But as we're heading towards a night phase, this might not be the best time to share it.

<em>The third session had begun and, all things considered, the community of Effingham Heights were feeling optimistic. A new council had been elected and the first order of business for </em><em><strong>Crychon</strong></em><em>, </em><em><strong>Memory of Talon</strong></em><em>, and </em><em><strong>lukess11 </strong></em><em>was to put the decision making in their own hands. </em></p><p><em>

</em></p><p> </p><p>

<span style="color:#FF8C00;"><strong>Coucil Person 1: I'm going to place my vote on that person over there and I will not change it!</strong></span></p><p><span style="color:#FF8C00;"><strong>

<span style="color:#8B0000;"><strong>Council Person 2: I don't want to vote yet, but when I do it's going to be for that other person over there!</strong></span></p><p><span style="color:#8B0000;"><strong>

<span style="color:#008000;"><strong>Council Person 3: I'm going to take my time. Anyone have an objection?</strong></span></p><p><span style="color:#008000;"><strong>

</strong></span></p><p> </p><p>

<em>A person in the front of the room raises their hand.</em></p><p><em>

</em></p><p> </p><p>

<span style="color:#0000FF;"><strong>Person: I object. I think we should vote for someone entirely different!</strong></span></p><p><span style="color:#0000FF;"><strong>

</strong></span></p><p> </p><p>

<span style="color:#FF8C00;"><strong>Council Person 1: Excellent point, I will change my vote to them!</strong></span></p><p><span style="color:#FF8C00;"><strong>

</strong></span></p><p> </p><p>

<span style="color:#8B0000;"><strong>Council Person 2: I hear what you're saying, but I am definitely still voting for the same person as before.</strong></span></p><p><span style="color:#8B0000;"><strong>

</strong></span></p><p> </p><p>

<span style="color:#008000;"><strong>Council Person 3: I am still waiting.</strong></span></p><p><span style="color:#008000;"><strong>

</strong></span></p><p> </p><p>

<span style="color:#8B0000;"><strong>Council Person 2: Valid point, I am voting on Zergon instead, final answer.</strong></span></p><p><span style="color:#8B0000;"><strong>

</strong></span></p><p> </p><p>

<em>Council Person 3 looks down at their watch.</em></p><p><em>

</em></p><p> </p><p>

<span style="color:#008000;"><strong>Council Person 3: Sure, Zergon, why not?</strong></span></p><p><span style="color:#008000;"><strong>

</strong></span></p><p> </p><p>

<em>Baffled, the weeping lady in the back of the room is brought forward.</em></p><p><em>

</em></p><p> </p><p>

<span style="color:#FF0000;"><strong>Weeping Lady: I don't understand! I would never have killed hi...anyone!</strong></span></p><p><span style="color:#FF0000;"><strong>

</strong></span></p><p> </p><p>

<span style="color:#8B0000;"><strong>Council Person 2: Lies! Someone, kill this lady!</strong></span></p><p><span style="color:#8B0000;"><strong>

</strong></span></p><p> </p><p>

<em>With cat-like reflexes the woman grabs the decanter with the poison that killed Reginald and begins to chug it.</em></p><p><em>

</em></p><p> </p><p>

<span style="color:#FF8C00;"><strong>Council Person 1: Seriously...no one decided to clean out the poison juice?</strong></span></p><p><span style="color:#FF8C00;"><strong>

</strong></span></p><p> </p><p>

<em><strong>Zergon </strong></em><em>collapses on the ground, half smiling and half frowning.</em></p><p><em>

<p><strong>It is Night 3. You have until 8:00pm EDT (1:00am GMT) on Tuesday, June 4th to send any abilities to both i effin rule and Imarevenant. Elected officials must submit their votes prior to the phase ending.</strong></p><p><strong>

[djthefunkchris]

<p>1. 25% to lynch next phase, </p><p> </p><p>

2. Or HOA is immune to votes.</p>

[lukess11]

Option 1 seems like a REALLY bad idea with how many scum are probably left.

[djthefunkchris]

<p>See, that's why being on the council kind of sucks in these. They always go from good/bad, to not bad/bad, to bad/bad, to worse/worse. </p><p> </p><p>

Probably go with option 2 out of not wanting a townie getting lynched with three or four votes on them.</p>

[Crychon]

Yeah, given the options I'd probably go with option 2 in this case.

[Guest Memory of Talon]

<p>Yeah so. </p><p> </p><p>

We lynched Zergon, and while it sucks that he was indeed town like some of us thought, him not having a vote probably means he was also a future liability, and if there was a minigame involved then maybe it's a good thing there wasn't a chance for it to play out after all. </p><p> </p><p>

I wish Rabbitman were around when most of us had free time. Given what's been in the writeups, his claim could fall into the mail man section. </p><p> </p><p>

If Libby were around he could also corroborate if he got an invitation. The writeups did reveal on N1 that something was delivered to someone. </p><p> </p><p>

N2, if rabbitman did target me, the writeup shows for what ever reason the mailman decided "Guess they don’t need this anymore…" and "He turns and walks back the way he came."</p><p> </p><p>

I had sort of thought that something was delivered to someone who died, and that's the reason the mailman turned around. So this makes me wonder if there's a bus driver, or a redirector at play.</p>

[Guest Memory of Talon]

Also yeah, might as well vote for proposal 2.

[Tha Black Phenom]

<p>Sorry for the absence, folks. I've just started my first day at my new job today (and in the same vein, I hope for similar endeavours on your end, Spartan) and there was much to take in so I couldn't be online to share my thoughts.</p><p> </p><p> As for the lynch result, it is what it is. I won't be commenting my thoughts on it which are predominately based on hindsight, but I will admit if it were up to me Rabbitman would've been strung up instead; nevertheless a decision had to be made and given the nature of Zergon's claim, I can understand how it went down.</p><p> </p><p> </p><blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-username="djthefunkchris" data-cite="djthefunkchris" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="46676" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div>1. 25% to lynch next phase, <p> </p><p> 2.

It's a conundrum, but for now I'd still go with option 2 personally, because even though I don't fully trust them we can still go after the options that we've entertained last phase, and who knows what will dawn on us after tonight. I certainly hope something will be to give with these looming threats. I try to avoid fixations on players but there's been no peep from Eliphas since last phase... I hope he's alright with whatever real life has hit him with. Within the innards of this game, he has certainly remained a person of interest in my eyes.</p>

[Destiny]

I'm also in agreement that option two is the better of the two options, and that Eliphas should be one of those looked into during the next phase in addition to a few others.

[Destiny]

OK, back over to Rabbitman it is then. Does your role PM suggest that the people you invite are aware of the invitation?

[Rabbitman]

<p>I just get told they'd be happy to come, well I did for fella libby anyway. Of course that could be simple flavour by ieffin though and acceptance is simply automatic. Could be a nod to those types of celebrities that everyone hangs around but like half of them are there 'just to be seen'</p><p> </p><p>

I'm fully prepared to call for the 2 man party tonight, if it'll help matters.</p>

[Rabbitman]

<p>Specifically I get told in my role pm that i send out the invites and once i feel I've sent out enough I can call for the party. An exclusive party where any intruders would stand out like a sore thumb and easily be dealt with.</p><p> </p><p>

I wasn't actually even expecting a message, whether it be flavour/confirmation or whatever.</p>
