Day 3

Dundun dun dundun

The Terminators reactivated themselves in the morning. Their gazes turned to a Terminator whose head was stuck in the press.

"This one has been terminated."

"No, I haven't." Said the Terminator in the press. "I am fully functional."

"Then how did you get in the press?"

"I don't know." The Terminator replied. "Now get me out of here!"

The Terminators pulled on the stuck Terminator, freeing the Terminator from the press but also causing his head to pop off and roll around the room. The headless T-800 stumbled around without direction.

"No, this way." His head shouted. "No, left. No, my left. You idiot, that was my face you just kicked!"

The Terminators briefly considered reuniting head with body but elected to spend their time finding the remaining Skynet Terminator instead.

Dundun dun dundun




Day 3 has begun!

Nobody has died.

It is now Day 3. Day 3 will last until Wednesday 12:00 PM MST.

Ooh, flavour text.
Well going by it, I would have to guess that we have a jailkeeper and they protected the mafia's target.

And now to where we left off.
TheDarkStar
TDS,
PPE: We really need to avoid a tie tonight. Someone needs to add another vote to 4maskwolf to break the tie; even if he is not scum, we get important information.
Wow that's actually pretty incriminating. I'm surprised nobody picked up on it at the time. It's like you don't think he's scum but want him lynched anyway, with flimsy reasoning. If you are town and 4mask gets lynched and flips town, what does that tell you? There's no way you could clear someone of suspicion of being his buddy because there can only be one scum left. You can't use the people who voted for him to determine who's scum, because there's only you and LARD so far who have, and neither of you are looking good.
So please explain TheDarkStar, what could you learn from a townlynch on 4mask?

Now even more relevant. What have you learned?

Well. They protected either the target or blocked the mafia. Up to them to find out now, eh? That really is a nice turn of events, we've got an extra half-turn, and a No Kill if it's so desired.

No, I mean the actual flavour text. The jailkeeper model can render a T800 completely functionless during the night, making them both invincible and unable to do anything. The course of action that lead to the terminator being stuck in the press was most likely that the jailkeeper had shut it down, then the Skynet terminator closed the press on its head. Then when the jailkept terminator awoke in the morning, it found itself stuck.

As far as I know, BM's don't work that way.  The entire point of a BM is that it is for beginners: no hints in the flavortext.

There are no hints to be found in the flavor text. The flavor is only there to entertain.

Alright, I need to ask everybody a question, since there was no kill, which indicates the presence of a jailkeeper.

Who do you think would have been the best idea for a night kill last night?
Who do you think would have been the worse?

Might as well chalk it up to Pathos.
As this point we might as well invoke interpretive dance and call it a day.

I don't know.

I think that the worst idea would have been TDS, since he was second, or at least could be perceived as second, on everyone's lynch chart.  Thus, if it was not him, he would have been the worst kill.

Why did you have an answer for the worst, but not the best, 4maskwolf?

Also, since I'm thinking of it.

Everybody: What do you think is the likelihood that you were the one targeted for a kill?

Why did you have an answer for the worst, but not the best, 4maskwolf?
Because the best is really dependent on who the scum is.  The best person for Graknorke-scum to kill is different from TDS-scum is different from 4mask-scum.  The age-old answer to the question is: whoever you think you can get away with and help your team win.

The worst was a little less of an issue, because scum want to keep alive players whom they can use as easy scapegoats.  Thus, since TDS could have been next to die from the lynch, it would make little sense to kill him in the night.

I could be entirely wrong, of course, but your question required a scum perspective and I tried to draw on my GBU scum experience to give you that answer, as that's basically how I played that game.

Likelyhood?  1/4 or 1/5, depending on whether TDS is scum.

Also, this is drifting into the realm of obvious-jailkeep from you.

This is a pretty WIFOM question. There is no one "best" kill. Or worst kill.

Mastah: Why do you think this question is so important? What we really need to know is who the JailKeeper save/blocked.

You say this as if you'd know who a jailkeeper would target.

Fine, do you want to know who I blocked?

I blocked 4mask.
