Assassin in the Palace 3 - The Return of the (ashamedly few) Dead Guys

[zakalwe]

What a lively discussion...

I still prefer to lynch Tasunke at this point. I probably gave him too much credit for some of his "bold" votes earlier, reading too much into his intentions when really, he could just be voting blindly. In fact, looking back, he has largely just been parroting my votes. Maybe the assassin is indeed one of the active players, and has been throwing his votes around to fish for the king. But I think it's equally likely that he's turtled up, content to just throw out a vote per day and see how far he makes it. Meanwhile, we all tear into each other, for fishing.

At least, I'd like to hear the actual reasons for lynching someone else.

Cross-posting with Ichabod. That's a start.

Yeah, I think I'd also be up for a Tasunke vote. But I'm happy with my vote for now. I'll wait to see what the others, especially Tasunke, have to say.

Agreed I would also like to hear more from Tasunke. But OTOH sometoimes I think TT sent out more then 1 Asssassin PM.
Lewwyn did nothing the last days then his pet-vote on Ichabod. Bigger the same with zakalwe. Neither of them has done any real try to scum-hunting. But at least 1 should be innocent. Tasunke has, as you said, done nothing then putting agreeing votes on lynch targets around.
Perhaps everyone should make a list of his top3- out of the 5 others? And we hand out points (3pt for rank1 2 for 2 1 for 3rd) and the player with the most points gets lynched.

And to make an even field

Lewwyn

All game long, from day 1, I really thought Gazglum might have been the assassin. He was my secondary vote-target for days 2+

I think I will now have to reassess my play style, or, at the least, take a fresh look at the posts.

[Lewwyn]

Anyway I'm not moving off of Ichabod. I think he is the assassin. 100%. I mean did you read his last post??? COMEON!

And by last post I mean the one in which he voted for bigger.

[Rowain]

What exactly do you not like on his 'Bigger-vote'-post?

[zakalwe]

Um, I think we have a 5-way tie?

Tasunke (1) - Zakalwe
Zakalwe (1) - Bigger
Bigger (1) - Ichabod
Lewwyn (1) - Rowain
Ichabod (1) - Tasunke

Are we really leaving it up to Tasunke to choose AGAIN?

Lewwyn did jog my memory about one post.

And I'm tempted to vote for Lewwyn right now. He has a pretty safe route to go if he's the assassin. Just keep his vote on me, better if Gazglum is lynched first, then I'll be next and he hasn't voted for anyone but me since day 2 (and it'll be day 6).

It's though that Gazglum is probably asleep right now. His play today is very scummy, though, so it's hard to move from him. It doesn't help that I'd be lynched then.

He posted that towards the end of last day, and it seems a little like he's already positioning himself for the next day. Not necessarily a scumtell, but still a bit suspicious. Want to comment on this, Ichabod?

[zakalwe]

Correction.

Tasunke (1) - Zakalwe
Zakalwe (1) - Bigger
Bigger (1) - Ichabod
Lewwyn (1) - Rowain
Ichabod (1) - Lewwyn

I don't have much experience with AITP games, but I don't like our current scenario. We are giving a free pass for the assassin to just wait until a villager cracks up and break this tie. Than this villager will be lynched and so on. The assassin doesn't need to move anymore, if we don't start trying to find him. And I think we need to do this early in the day, not wait until deadline.

Lewwyn is probably my best guess as assassin, but I'm not so sure about it to make this a 5-one-vote tie. So I'll join Rowain on Bigger. I haven't realized in my previous reread, since I was focused on other things, but Bigger also kept his "personal vote" on one player for the whole game, which is Zakalwe (awesome place to hide). I wrote personal vote because he also grabbed the chance to put termination votes on some candidates, putting them ahead enough that the discussion stops. He claimed he thinks this is how we should play, but that doesn't help at all.

Besides, I feel Bigger starts participating more in the game when he gets votes.

First paragraph here is scummy. "I don't have much experience but lets all push everyone so its clearer to me who the king is." This paragraph just feels like the equivelant of a meta post in our normal WWs. Wolfabod at his best.

Second Paragraph, I'm his best guess but he's not willing to vote me because it would tie us? But shouldn't he be trying to push me then and explain why I'm his best guess? Instead he goes after Bigger? And his reasoning is Bigger will participate more with more votes? I'm just not buying it.
