"So how do we stand?" Dariush asked. Tiruin was off to the side with eight ballots in his hand. She shuffled them slowly, counting each ballot carefully one more time.

"Everyone is accounted for… We have two objections against and six votes to forward the team." Tiruin paused. "Against my own better judgment, the mission is a go."

Dariush nodded and turned a stern gaze to NQT, Griffinpup, and Nerjin. His eyes were cold and emotionless.  "Don't screw this up. We need this base." The three of them nodded tandem before heading off into the night. Dariush shook his head, pondering if he had made the right decision.

Now, the waiting begins…

It was around midnight when they returned. Immediately, everyone knew something had not gone to plan. There were only two of them. Griffinpup had gone missing. A panic ran through the rebel ranks. Dariush advanced on NQT and Nerjin, his face red with rage. "What happened? Where is Griffinpup?"

NQT stared him straight back in the eye. "Sit down and be quiet, and we'll tell you what happened."



"The mission started out completely normal. We were scouting out abandoned warehouses located nearby the Empire's wharf."

"There were quite a few candidates, but most of them wouldn't have held up to a raid held by the Empire." Nerjin added. "Most of the buildings were so rundown that we couldn't hope to use them as base without some extensive repair work. We weren't even able to get into some of the nicer buildings, due to how well they were locked."

"So, that's when Griffinpup gets this bright idea to go and ask the port authority for more information on buying out one of the nicer buildings for our  'business'."

"Before we could talk him out of it, he marched right into one of their offices-"

"At 1 o clock in the morning-"

"Wearing all black, and having war paint on his face."

"Naturally, we followed him in. There was this lovely secretary at the desk. Unfortunately though, she started panicking and starts going off on how she's going to press the panic button and call the cops."

"But that's when Griffinpup turned on the charm."

"He waltzes rights up to her, throws his arm around her, and drops some corny pick-up line about chicks digging rebels."

"She fell for him immediately." Nerjin says with a smile.

"Then, while those two were schmoozing about,  we slipped into the back and swiped the keys to one of the nicer buildings. Griffinpup said he would stick around take care of some of the logistics."

"So we have an empty warehouse to use as a base then?" Dariush interrupted impatiently.

"Why yes. Yes we do." Griffinpup declared. Between his fingers he held up a business card in hand smudged with cherry-red lipstick. "The base is secured."



The Mission was a Success!

It is now Week 2, notquitethere is the new leader! Four people will be needed for this mission!

Well isn't that groovy?

So...

Shinigami_king and Tiruin: Could you explain exactly why you were so against the team? Was it due to the fact that there were no spies on it or did you have some other reason?

Busy, at school doing work.

Shinigami: Why should I directly participate in RVS?  You'd think that all I'd need to make reads could be found in everyone else's questions and answers.
Umm, is this an RVS question or a question based on something I have done in the past? Anyway, I think RVS helps build a ground for how people act and think. If someone isn't carefull, they might make a slip up early that will affect them in late game as well.
I wasn't asking why RVS is good, but why I specifically should ask RVS questions.  Couldn't I get my reads from everyone else's interactions instead?

Why did you offer no explanation for you opposing the vote before you voted?

This should answer some questions. I felt like Daruish's way of choosing was a little... stupid. "Hey everyone! Let's leave our winning strategy dependent to pure luck of a number generator" While the first day in my opinion is the least likely to fail I would still say that he should have tried to get a feel for the players before making his team of Pup getting lucky (if you know what I mean).

Also, I think it's scummy to not ask RVS questions because it relieves you of the potential of screwing up.

Shinigami_king and Tiruin: Could you explain exactly why you were so against the team? Was it due to the fact that there were no spies on it or did you have some other reason?
Tiruin leaves a list of suspicions.

1. There was a total lack of information, when information pertains to anyone else talking for a suitable amount of time on a logical basis during the first day. It was all 'Let's all go with this plan because what the hell RNG.'
2. I'm on the notion of people discussing before choosing, and while I would agree with what Dariush answered, I had a..gut feeling on the team in question. Sure, it may come out as a success of failure, as the laws state a 3/5 victory handle. Sure, Rebels have the 4th mission requiring 2 sabotage attempts, while others get 1. But there's a fact that in the first mission, spies can just waltz in and do relent with their sabotage and make it a success, causing quite a false facade of trust within the said group.

Wherein I point back to #1. Lack of frickin' information.



Griffinpup, NQT and Nerjin. What do you manlings think about your compatriots and what's your general feel on them. How do you regard those who voted against your mission procedure?

Dariush: Could you enlighten us on how you would judge those who accept or reject the current mission? What about those who did such on your mission?

NQT: You're the leader. You've four people. Are you going to wing it or are you going to try to justify ideas out? How will you do such, as on one note: I'm seeing a flaw in the pattern.

. . . Nerjin What do you manlings think about your compatriots and what's your general feel on them. How do you regard those who voted against your mission procedure?

*Note: From here on the percentages are how much I trust them.

Dariush: He seems town right now. Sure he left it up to chance but I can see why he did it and I agree with his basic premise. There was really no win-win way of choosing the first mission so now we have more evidence sooner than just going "Well I don't like this day 1 team" over and over until we're forced into it by #5's choice. In the end I'm 70% on him.

NQT: He seems town. He hasn't really participated as much as I'd care for but when he has he seems to be doing a pretty town job. Plus he was on a succesful mission which I think boosts his credit a little. Unless he's just juking us... Still I'm around 68% for him.

Griff: The thing that sticks out to me the most is that he basically said "I shouldn't have to because everyone else will do the work." in regards to RVS. Sure I can see where he's coming from but from some of his other comments he seems a little lazy. I'm 50% on him.

Cado: Seems town enough. Though seems to REALLY like you, Dariush, and NQT. But all and all a slight town read. 60% for him.

Remuthra: From the single post he's made... I feel hurt. But on the whole I get a null-read on him. 45% for him due to the fact that I don't really have a read on him right now.

Shinigami_King: ... What did he even say? "I'm busy. I'll post tomorrow." "I'm busy" "Vague accusations at Pup and stating that Dariush's method is stupid." He's lurking. I won't trust him until he answers the questions asked of him, until then he's as good as spy to me. 0% until he answers the questions asked of him and posts something with actual content.

Nerjin: The worst player to have in any mafia game ever. He was on a successful mission so that's a point in his favor but... Same thing with the others. If I had to give an estimate I'd say around 100% but that's just me. Could be doing more though. [I am funny now yes? No? Damn...]

Tiruin: Well she voted against a successful team BUT she had a very good reason for doing so. Plus on the whole she seems to be relatively reliable and hasn't said anything scummy. 70% trust.

So on the whole I say no one really stands out as bad other than Shinigami due to his lack of content [which I distrust]

As for how I view those who voted against the mission:

Tiruin: Town due to her good reasons.

Shingami: Scum due to his reasons being slightly less well-put together and also due to his lack of content prior to this. When he answers the questions posted to him I might change my mind.

Did I miss questions? I though I answered the latest asked of me from you and pup. As you can clearly see, I have place my thoughts in this forum much earlier today. If I missed something or if you have new questions go ahead and tell me. Also, why did you say my name twice?

Shinigami_King: If you were a rebel, what would your thoughts be to justify a sabotaged mission as per rebel wincon?

Shinigami_King: Which team do you feel is more powerful on day 3? Why?

Shinigami: Who would you hate to have as a Spymate?(And don't say me only to spite me)

Shingami King: Which player in this game do you trust most? Which one do you trust least?

So yeah please answer those.

I also used your name twice because I was asked for my general reads and my feelings of those who down voted dar's team.

*sigh* Request Replacement.

Re-read your post nerjin- I understand somethings that you said but there are a lot of inconsistencies. First off, I'm busy and I can't do anything about that. I was quite thankful actually that day one as a whole wasn't that busy because that lowered my obligation and my stress load. Sorry if I don't post enough content but I have two more school days and an exam left. Hopefully you can handle that.

I also don't believe I have ever been suspicious of pup. He is just the only one I have had a proper conversation with. the "pup getting lucky" was meant to be humorous, not the spawn of your weak attempt to make everyone see me as scum.

While Tiruin did write out her reasons in a proper format I feel like my post shows my reasoning quite well. In fact my reasoning is near the exact same as tiruin's acclaimed "good reasons" yet I for some reason am on the opposite side of the spectrum.? Please, you smell of weak attacks.

I also disagree with the whole "you were on day one's successful mission so you have extra credibility" concept because it's day one and if you made yourself look like a possible spy on that mission you would be less likely to be chosen and trusted in future missions.

I would like to ask everyone if Nerjin's percentage rating-thing is a good way to go about this?

Sorry for missing that post nerjin  :-\

I missed those questions because I literally went up to ranger at school one time and he said
revolution has started!<-ranger
Oh cool, any questions at me yet?<-me
*scrolls through chat* none yet!
Okay, thanks.

And that is how it went. I shall answer those questions... NOW!

Shinigami_King: If you were a rebel, what would your thoughts be to justify a sabotaged mission as per rebel wincon?

Shinigami_King: Which team do you feel is more powerful on day 3? Why?

Shinigami: Who would you hate to have as a Spymate?(And don't say me only to spite me)

Shingami King: Which player in this game do you trust most? Which one do you trust least?

So yeah please answer those.

I also used your name twice because I was asked for my general reads and my feelings of those who down voted dar's team.

Shinigami_King: If you were a rebel, what would your thoughts be to justify a sabotaged mission as per rebel wincon?
Maybe I don't understand this games rules well enough but I don't fully understand this question. I'm just going to answer the way I think is right and you can correct me after.
I don't know why I would justify a sabotaged mission. Rebels are trying to succeed in their mission so I shouldn't justify it, I should find out who sabotaged it.
Shinigami_King: Which team do you feel is more powerful on day 3? Why?
It depends completely on the standings. How many spy's have been caught, who is team leader etc. etc. this is really a game of variables. I don't know how many spys there are anyway so I can't say for sure. (did birdy ever tell us?). Any way that my "why" for not being sure but if you want one group or the other I would say rebels because the number of players has diminished at this point.
Shinigami: Who would you hate to have as a Spymate?(And don't say me only to spite me)
Nerjin. While his flavor text is the sh*t, I disliked his playstyle in toon mafia and I dislike it now. Also you, just to spite you.
Shingami King: Which player in this game do you trust most? Which one do you trust least?
I tend not to trust people in mafia games... ever so no one and everyone in that order.

The case still stands and I thought it was later than that. No matter the case it was a human error and not me purposefully trying to avoid the questions.
