Day 2 / Night 2

[mutineer2]

Well looks like Diggit may have futzed with the ranking and therefor messing with the master plan before we iced him. But yay for hitting a hidden role.

[mutineer2]

And it goes without saying that I really hope you got your orders in on someone, preferably other than Diggit, Inner.

I'm all for taking all of the credit when things going our way, but as soon as things don't start going our way, I will be throwing y'all under the bus for phoning it lickity split.

[mutineer2]

That was said in jest btw, well...mostly in jest.

Our hand looks to be a bit forced now. I don't see that we have a choice but to smear the hell out of Ichini with manufactured investigation results in the hopes of getting him brigged because if he's smart he will examine Scuba or Chronos.

[mutineer2]

If I utilize my power during the Day, when will my target(s) be functionally free of the Brig, and how much of any of the cracking will be included in public color? Same question for utilizing the power at Night. [/color]

Tsk, tsk, read your PM.

You are a Cracker. One time only, you may release at Night prisoners of your choice (any number) from the Brig. The release will happen just before the end of the Night, and the newly released will not be able to take any Night actions. Nor does this remove any standing arrest orders.

Night-only power. They are freed at the end of the Night, so no chance to use any powers. And color will be vague.

[mutineer2]

Ok, everyone just pretend I only asked about the color.

[mutineer2]

The longer Inner doesn't provide a result, the more suspicion he's going to get and the less likely people are going to consider believing whatever he says.

[mutineer2]

Nipping the Masons in the bud by taking out Chronos may have been better, but as long as we can contain the confirming to Chronos, Scuba, and Ichini, I think we can get one of them brigged or lynched and take out a 2nd by Night by framing them as the 3 scum. The movement of Ichini into the Doctor spot really makes that connection between the three of them convenient to at least attempt. Hal is helping us along in that way nicely as well, but I think we need to set Ichini up as the killer last night to pull it off.

"Facts" to be manipulated:

Chronos didn't come out with the mason claim until after Ichini wound up in the Doctor position. (We need at least one actual fact in there...)
Ichini looks like the chief suspect of who killed Diggit.
Maybe Diggit's hacker sense was able to pick up on Ichini's evilness, which is why he tried to switch places with him in an attempt to pull him out of the Officers block.
Chronos and Scuba attempt to self confirm once their third scum buddy wound up in the Doctor slot.

[mutineer1]

Fuck. Fuck. Fuck. Fuck. I thought Night was longer and didn't put a request in. Then to top it all off, we had to move from summer housing to semester housing today which means that my computer was all packed up so I didn't see Pleo's reminder pm at lunch so missed mt chance there. And my new apartment doesn't have wifi so it's more of a bitch getting online. Am I still claiming I watched Ichini and saw her interact with Diggit?

[mutineer2]

It is a gambit, but otherwise we risk potentially a block of 3-4 mostly-confirmed Townies which will be a bitch to overcome.

[mutineer2]

And I don't necessarily think we lost much by not getting an investigation in. 2 masons are now outed, and a Hacker is dead. There can't be many other hidden Town roles left, I don't think.

[mutineer2]

It's been nice playing with you guys...

[mutineer2]

Lovely. Outed by maths and flying solo. *grumble*

[mutineer2]

I had ruled out executing the warrant on Chronos because doing so without town consensus would be suicide for Inner, but now that things are so far off the rails I really hope he gets back in time to just execute it + deliver the smear on Ichini as being seen messing with Diggit last Night. We then kill Cold Phoenix ToNight which would potentially give us (with the only variable being who is lynched Today, probably one of us or Hal as things are currently progressing):

Ichini : Captain
Inner : XO ?
Cookies : Security ?
Hal: Engineer ?
Darth: Doctor ?
Scuba: Crew
Chronos: Brigged

[mutineer2]

Actually, if Inner executes the warrant and smears, I can't see how he won't be lynched toDay, so we'd likely be looking at

Chronos brigged by Inner
Ichini smeared by Inner
Inner lynched by Town
Cold Phoenix killed by us

Ichini: Captain
Cookies: XO
Hal: Security
Darth: Engineer
Scuba: Doctor
Chronos: Brigged

[mutineer2]

If someone doesn't come back soon, I'm going to start peeing in some shoes.

[Pleonast]

But you're doing so well, Cookies!

[mutineer2]

If we manage to get the above plan through, I can demote Hal and maybe we can convince Ichini to put a warrant out on him.

I have reservations about sacrificing Inner...which is what happens when I'm left alone to plot...talking myself in circles...hint hint

If we don't take the gambit, we may be able to get one or two of us brigged instead, and then cash in on my power at a timely moment. I just don't like our chances of being able to keep us all alive at this point, and sacrificing Inner gains us a good bit of control of our own destiny, hopefully.

[mutineer2]

I'm about to embark on a 6 hour drive to my Mom's. I'll get online in the wee hours once we arrive tonight. Saturday I'll be able to check in the morning but will be away from a computer for most of the day and the night for County Fair and High School Reunion antics. Sunday I will be able to get online at my whim. Monday will have an early rise and 8 hours of driving home, so I probably won't be on until the evening at the earliest.

[mutineer2]

If Chronos promotes Ichini before we FUCKING HAVE A CHANCE TO DO A DAMN THING I'm going to blow a gasket.

Even so, it would hopefully make people dubious of both the Doctor and Engineer results that he produces, so long as he, Chronos, and Scuba are still alive.

[mutineer1]

01. ColdPhoenix -- Captain
02. Chronos -- Executive Officer
03. Inner Stickler -- Chief of Security
04. ComeToTheDarkSideWeHaveCookies -- Head of Engineering
05. Ichini Sanshigo -- Ship's Doctor
06. Hal Briston -- Crew-member
07. Darth Sensitive -- Crew-member
08. Scuba_Ben -- Crew-member

An ichini promotion changes the rankings to:

01. ColdPhoenix -- Captain
02. Chronos -- Executive Officer
03. Inner Stickler -- Chief of Security
04. Ichini Sanshigo -- Head of Engineering
05. ComeToTheDarkSideWeHaveCookies -- Ship's Doctor
06. Hal Briston -- Crew-member
07. Darth Sensitive -- Crew-member
08. Scuba_Ben -- Crew-member

If I execute the warrant after he promotes ichini, we get:

01. ColdPhoenix -- Captain
03. Inner Stickler -- Executive Officer
04. Ichini Sanshigo -- Chief of Security
05. ComeToTheDarkSideWeHaveCookies -- Head of Engineering
06. Hal Briston -- Ship's Doctor
07. Darth Sensitive -- Crew-member
08. Scuba_Ben -- Crew-member

Brig- 02. Chronos

With the current vote count ColdP gets spaced and gives us:

03. Inner Stickler -- Captain
04. Ichini Sanshigo -- Executive Officer
05. ComeToTheDarkSideWeHaveCookies -- Chief of Security
06. Hal Briston -- Head of Engineering
07. Darth Sensitive -- Ship's Doctor
08. Scuba_Ben -- Crew-member

Brig- 02. Chronos

If I put out an arrest warrant on any one of the 3 loyals and you enact it before ichini can promote or demote anyone, we win.

[mutineer2]

I don't think we should put much faith in Cold necessarily being lynched just because he is currently in the lead. The lynch could go all sorts of ways, including towards you, or Darth if people put much faith in the maths output.

I can't come out in favor of Chronos promoting Ichini, I don't think, because I have been publicly skeptical of both the Masonry and vaguely skeptical of Ichini's alignment. If you or Darth can encourage it, that might take hold. Or it could backfire with people not necessarily wanting to do what lurkers want to do.

[mutineer2]

Brainfart. It would have to be Darth who tries to encourage the promotion of Ichini. As soon as you brig Chronos, it is highly likely that you will gather votes and quickly pass Cold for the lead.

I still think we should go with the brig Chronos + smear Ichini plan.

[mutineer1]

My thought was to wait until just before the end of the Day and hopefully votes will be spread out enough that I could throw one or two that gets someone lynched. Also, I think I messed up my math. We're at 8 players. Brigging Chronos drops us to 7 voters. A mislynch drops us to 6 and the NK drops it to 5 and gives us the majority of votes outside the brig and the win.

[mutineer2]

That is a lot of assumptions you are making and each second that goes by you lose more and more credibility and there is a chance that the arrest warrant will be taken away.

All I can do to encourage a spread vote is to put votes down on you, Hal, and Darth for lurking, which is risky as hell considering Chronos is now gunning for you.

Just get in there and play the darn game!
