[Official]H.P. Lovecraft Mafia Endgame

[/]

The creature from space came again to attack a human, a massive yellow tentacle wrapped around the victim in an instant, a horrible crack fills the night air, then silence, nothing more is seen.

Two killers face off that night; one an outsider by fate, their woe of being rejected by fate, that haunting castle in their dreams as tattered as their existence, they cannot see reality as it is anymore, they gaze into the reflection of their opponent's blade, and the image it reflects is that of a monster; The other was blinded by the pursuit of knowledge, the knowledge of Yog Sothoth burned their mind and corrupted their existence, the pain overwrote the fabric of their consciousness, and the shape of their sub-conscious caused them to lash out at their fellow humans, what incomprehensible sights did they behold to so thoroughly change them?

Day Twelve begins, you have until next tuesday
With 6 alive it takes 3 to lynch

[thehippo8]

So ... where too from here? Are we going to try and kill the last Yith?

[spiesr]

So ... where too from here? Are we going to try and kill the last Yith?

I would place you higher than the last Yith on the potential threat list. What is disturbing about last night's results is that betiko and rishaed were both SKs, possibly due to insanity. It raises the question, "could more players become SKs." With all of the the normal Humans gone now I don't know. We currently have: 3 Town players (all of whom were killed and revived), a Yith, and thehippo.
Right now thehippo would be my preference for a lynch. Before that I would like to hear from Soundman and Safariguy. What do you guys think? What have you been since you were revived (and in Safari's case before it), and do you have you any information that might be useful? I have been on doc duty since I was revived and don't have any info from that.

[thehippo8]

Hmmm ... well, if my theory is right then the game has been a battle between humans proper and the revived. What I find interesting is that the game is not over. That means, although I stand to be proved wrong, that either I am the last bastion for humanity (and if that is so, then that is very strange!) or it is a humans vs yith thing? So, yeah but no but!? Anyways, assuming you try and lynch me today and I kill yith tonight then we will know for sure. The other alternative is y'all could go ahead and lynch yith today and be done with it. Your call I guess!

I have been on doc duty since I was revived and don't have any info from that.

Well, first off I would like to say that I still have the WC of surviving. I have no killing role, and I am assuming they became SK's from worshipping a diety, as Rishaed had done so and so I am lead to believe that betiko did too. I would like to throw out there that my role would be a little overpowered if I had a killing role and could still switch bodies, and that if I were malicious then I could have avoided giving you the information you required to make proper lynches, like earlier for Lovo and such. We discovered all your enemies and such, and when kanin and commander died, we still did not see a decrease in the kills during the nights. Therefore, I would like to point out that the three kills tonight are quite possibly from hippo, rishaed, and betiko, therefore we should see only one kill tonight as long as nobody else has a role like theirs. Therefore, I believe hippo to be the only killing role left, and so I would endorse a lynch on him, though I am unable to vote. I have done nothing but help humans, and so I feel that it would be a little screwy if you still killed me over someone who decieved or the many others that are lurking. I would say that I could endorse a lynch on pancake mix also, because we do not know if his WC changed when he reached his WC.

[soundman]

Yesterday and last night I was masoned with Betiko (one shot power I was given). Hippo killed Jonty, Betiko killed Rishaed, and I'm assuming Rishaed killed Betiko.

Vote Hippo. I believe he is the last link that needs to go. If that doesn't endgame us then we lynch PCM. If that doesn't then we lynch NG and have only confirmed town remaining. But I believe lynching Hippo will be the last thing we need to do.

[safariguy5]

I've been sleeping every night because I fear the insanity effects. It's possible the players who could worship someone could become insane. I'm still town aligned, but who else is still town I don't really know. I'd like to think those of us who were revived are town, but at this point, it's really difficult to tell.

I slept last night and was rendered voteless. I'll prove it by vote hippo. My rationale is that hippo is suggesting that revived players are untrustworthy/scum. If that were true, with 6 players remaining, we would have endgamed town by now if we were all anti town.

You fear becoming insane? But your role was "Randolph Carter, Insanity-proof Town Human," shouldn't you be the one person who doesn't have to worry about that? You say that last Night your sleeping caused you to be voteless for the Day. Okay, now what happened on Nights 6, 7, 8, & 10? (I would like a similar breakdown from Soundman.)

Anyhow, assuming Safariguy is being truthful it looks like we will need Pancakemix to drop by and cast his vote in order to be able to reach a lynch on Hippo. (With only 4 actually voters today.) Once we get a couple things straightened out I will cast my vote as well.

I was dead Night 6. I roleblocked Hippo Night 7 and masoned Betiko yesterday and last night. The rest of the nights are not relevant.

I never said that I was insanity proof. I only said that I did not have a JOAT ability where I could worship anyone. I can pray to Yog-Sothoth, but it carries the same insanity risk as any other JOAT.

And to clear up any possible confusion, yes, I am one of the humans who can attempt to kill someone each night. Although I haven't done so yet.

[spiesr]

I never said that I was insanity proof.

Didn't you ever see what / listed your role as when you died?

/, if pancakemix doesn't post in the next 24 hours could you prod him?
Right now we are mostly waiting on him to show up it seems. Unless anybody has anything else they would like to share?

[pancakemix]

Juggling too many thing.

If the choice is between me and hippo, lynching hippo is the only thing that will actually help you. So I'll help that camp.

Vote Hippo

[spiesr]

Vote Hippo, let's get this over with.

So, I kill PCM tonight?

The few remaining confronted the strange entity, its true motive, if any, still a mystery. All that was known is the sorrows brought by the alien god and its kin, the timeless strife incurred by the demanding whims of feuding deities.
The King in Yellow removes his mask, both literally and figuratively, beneath the mask of humanity lies another form of the creature. Polypous yellow flesh surrounds the denizens of Arkham, tentacles pave the walls of the city. A person cuts at the flesh of the being, the sinewy texture gives, only to spring back and regenerate. Mortal means do little to harm the creature.
But in the mass on thing stood out, a lone book, a book of worship to the malign deities written by Abdul Alhazred stolen from the body of the human killed by Hastur that last night. Ironically the rituals to appease these gods would be their undoing; countless symbols painstakingly written out to Cthulhu, Yog Sothoth; Great Old Ones, and Outer Gods. These symbols contained the powers of the conflicting deities, its cursed powers sensing and grabbing at their 'brother'.
A bright light covered Hastur, and he vanished without a trace.



"Songs that the Hyades shall sing,
Where flap the tatters of the King,
Must die unheard in
Dim Carcosa."

There was no death tonight.

Day Thirteen begins, you have until Sunday the 10th
with 5 alive it takes 3 to lynch

[spiesr]

Alright, unless anybody has any sort of evidence to say otherwise I am going to assume that either new guy or pancakemix must be the thing which is keeping us from endgame. Not sure which one and not sure why. (Having been recruited into the cult is a possibility.)
Does anybody have any info that might help us figure out which one to pursue? None of my own information seems to fit the bill.
On one hand if what they have claimed is true pancakemix won't really care if we lynch him first whereas newguy's entire faction will lose if we are wrong and kill him. On the otherhand, newguy's ability has the potential to make killing him difficult.

Judging by the number of votes required I assume that you have your vote back safariguy?

[new guy1]

I would plead that you let me search everyone, but that would obviously not be favorable for you. Again, if my race could recruit or anything then we would have every single one of you already recruited/arsoned/whatever else is possible and I would have won the game on an earlier day. We proved that by checking everyone's bodies. Therefore, I would ask that you be able to rule me out, since I obviously havent killed/recruited/arsoned/anything else you all. I would think it was obvious my role was not malicious towards everyone. Im going to check everyone's roles again (or at least what they claimed) to see if I can bring anything to the table for the humans to finish this game off. If you wanted, we could no lynch, let me check pancake, and I would switch out of his body and let you lynch him if he were malicious. I am willing to make just about any deal with you so long as I live.

[new guy1]

Sorry for the double post, all of you were revived, so if your WC's changed to killing pancake, then you can obviously act on it since you are the majority, just throwing that out there in case earlier assumptions were correct. Also, soundman is a dreamwalker, so that may have a weird twist to it, and I believe you two (or at least safari) were the JOAT type humans, but I cant remember yours speiser.

[safariguy5]

Yes, I have my vote back. My sleeping result was to look back and see a night action. The PM said spiesr asked Yog-Sothoth for information on Night 7. I suppose PCM or newguy would be targets for lynch, although I think we have some time to think about who we should lynch first.

Fastposted by newguy. Yeah spiesr would be a JOAT based on my sleep result.

[spiesr]

Well you see newguy, at present we can't rule out that you (or pancakemix for that matter) were recruited by the cult. So you might still be a threat to the town without a kill or anything to back it up with. From the night scenes the cult may have made as many as three successful recruitments, and we have only seen 2 recruits die. There may be one more left. Soundman was dead during the period when cult was recruiting and Safariguy and myself were killed after that, so those three can be ruled out.

Fastposted by newguy. Yeah spiesr would be a JOAT based on my sleep result.

If you look at what my role was revealed to be when I died you will see that my role is technically "Doctor," that I do have the same sleep, ask Yog, and attempt to kill abilities as everyone else so I could be described as JOATish in this case.

And safari, I would still like some sort of explanation about this:

I never said that I was insanity proof.

Didn't you ever see what / listed your role as when you died?

safariguy5, Randolph Carter, Town Insanity-Proof Human

[spiesr]

I suppose PCM or newguy would be targets for lynch, although I think we have some time to think about who we should lynch first.

So, are we going to discuss this or just sit around and wait for the answer to fall out of the sky? And can someone get Soundman in here?

Anyhow a random tidbit for us to think about: After Hippo's death Betiko and rishaed were revealed to have worshiped him. (Which makes them seemingly killing each other hilarious in hindsight.) This raises some questions in regards to the action that showed he had worshiped ghostly. Was that result simply incorrect? Did rishaed get to change his worship after ghostly died? Does any of this matter with all the humans now dead?
Additionally at some point Vodean was revealed to have worshiped the cult. (/, can you tell us when that info was supposed to have been revealed?) Does that mean to cult is all gone now or something? Or just the exact member Vodean had worshiped? Interestingly because of these things Iron Butterfly is now the only dead Human who is listed with an unknown alignment. Why is that? Is the faction/person he worshiped still alive? Is said thing a threat?
