Wow.. so SirBayer random voted, two others bandwagoned quickly to add pressure, Survivor joined in in an attempt to try to finish the day and the Jester finished it up.

Powerful.


If I may make one modification: don't allow self votes.  You have a good few people who want a lynch for the sake of lynching (Survivor, SK, scum).  It means any bandwagon quickly turns into a lynch. 

That's fine normally, but it gives the Jester a sure win if they can get the bandwagon on themselves. 

Otherwise, it looks like crazy fun and needs to run again.
Not allowing self-votes is insane. That makes the Jester near impossible to lynch, especially since the Day Cop inspected him and was about to stop the lynch entirely.

What it means is you have to look carefully for Jesters. Everyone was looking for killers, so Mr.Person acted like a killer. It worked. I think everyone just knows how to play a Jester well. Next game everyone will be looking for people and second-guessing.

There was a reason there was PMing in the game. JanusTwoface and Mr.Person utilized it.

Here's the message Janus sent me:

Quote from: JanusTwoface
I'll go ahead and take the chance.

Are you the Jester?  Because if you are, I'm perfectly happy helping you get lynched.

Are you the Lyncher?  Because if you are, I'm perfectly happy to help you lynch someone more likely to be your target.

If not, are you going to kill or convert me somehow?  Because if you aren't, I'm perfectly happy to help you get not lynched as well.

Here's the message I sent back:

Quote from: Mr.Person
Are you claiming a specific side to me? It sounds like you're claiming Survivor, so I'm going to go ahead and assume you are. Sadly, I don't see you as a Survivor. You aren't acting like one. I think somebody posted earlier in the thread what a Survivor would do.

Hmm...I've never been a big fan of CCGs - I mean, I did and still do collect Pokemon cards, but I never got heavily into the battling and trading thing.

By definition that makes you a fan since you still buy them.

My goal was to gain an ally of any sort.  As the Survivor, I figured this could work out pretty well, as the Jester and Lyncher would want to work with me directly and the SK didn't have to kill me (going only off Mr.Person's evidence, which he could have been making up).  Or at the very least, not kill me first.

I guess I cold have phrased my post better, but I didn't want to take the chance of voting him and losing a potential ally if he wasn't the Jester.

The game ends the instant the first person wins?

I didn't read that, lame.

I made that part very clear :P.

Oh well. We'll see if the next Round makes it.

Once I started getting flak for talking about win conditions, I just started making up all kinds of shit.

I thought it was pretty clever.

Well I think it's true, but I didn't actually talk to Webadict. If anybody actually bothered to ask, I would of been like "Nope, you're just trying to get me lynched, you must be the lyncher"

So you'd need to investigate at L-3 to stop lynch?

...i.e. 2 votes? Yeaah, jester + survivor = superteam. Almost like a lyncher on jester :P

Not that I'm sayin' it was badly done.
