Apocalypse: Political Tides Open Game

[Sin]

Mikey also said we "here" screams and shit. Don't rely on his linguistic prowess.

Blackmage successfully visited the killer, he didn't have to go anywhere...the caroler would also have successfully visited imo. At the very least, the journo would have noted the sleepwalker's presence. They wouldn't visit at different times, nothing I read hints at that anyway. The caroler might have visited the stalker, and he could have visited someone else like the journo. Could have even visited Blackmage for all we know.

The "times" are irrelevant as they are just strictly fluff, but I see what you mean by us not knowing exactly who the Journo was on. I'll mark up my theories however. See below:

A man was found going door to door (THE CAROLER), who knew he was being tailed (THE JOURNO)?

THE CAROLER: "i have not got once person to answer yet tonight. It may be because its so late in the evening, i may have to try again in the morning."

Little did he know, he was being followed (THE JOURNO). As he (THE CAROLER)turned around, he met face to face with the suspicious fellow(THE KILLER).

THE CAROLER:"Oh my, hello and good evening good patron of our town! I would like to sing you a song!"

As the man began to sing a joyous tune, the assailant(THE KILLER) made haste in the opposite direction.

All the while, a third party (THE JOURNO) watched from the trees, detailing every step of the encounter in his trusty leather notebook<--- This doesn't happen just fluff.

Meanwhile, on the other side of town. Where the first drone strike hit, you here screams of horror.






In that final hour(TIME FLUFF), hell had broken loose and bombs began to fall.
It was only fitting that the evil man in Washington to take out his first hit, be randomly visited by the person (THE SLEEPWALKER) he was hitting.

"I will no longer tolerate your insufferable law keeping!"
The man did not respond.
"We will seek vengenace on those who choose not to obey us!"
The man still did not respond.
"Hey, you... are you... sleeping? Perfect, this will make for an easy hit"
And with that
Blackmage as Innocent law Abiding Citizen, Town Sleepwalker. was Shot down.

The night did not end there unfortunately. Bombs began to fall at a much faster rate, before dawn broke.. half the city was in ruins.


Day 1 has begun.
No deadline.
With 11 alive, it takes 6 to lynch.

So, re-reading it the Journo didn't visit the Killer, he was visiting the Caroler it seems.

[Nemesis]

ok that's all well and good, but now what do we do about not lynching the foot? We can't exactly ask for volunteers.

[Assassin]

I think the mexicans plan is a good idea, start doubling up, and have people volunteer to be cleared.

[Sin]

Cyber's plan is good, we'd have to nolynch to be honest, which works well in this setup.

No risk of hitting Fool, and Mafia may possibly hit the Fool for us during the night phase taking out a threat to town.

UNVOTE

VOTE NOLYNCH

[brett friggin favre]

Caroler, whoever u tried singing to yesterday but weren't home to hear your song, is a mafia that killed blackmage.
If u claim now, we can get a 1 for 1.

Wait I misread the scene or someone said that whoever the Caroler visited killed blackmage??

The text doesn't seem to imply that.

Pretty quick about-face, and you and sin have been rather quick to agree that the caroler should out himself. Let me rephrase, cyber, sin, agree. And now, sin wanting to no-lynch, based on Cyber's plan which didn't include a no-lynch? What the bloody fuck is going on here?

[SCRIBBLE]

[brett friggin favre]

Seems legit.

@brett: at first someone said that whoever the Caroler with his crappy voice was trying to sing to the killer.
So i suggested to either him outing himself to get a 1 v 1 on mafia.

But after rereading the text realized that whoever that Asshole sung to might not have been the killer (if only it was that easy).
But in fact the journalist seems to know who the Carolee I'd (based on sin's interpretation of scene)

So I suggested that some vt offer to be visited if they are semi sure they aren't the fool. And the Carolee can sing to them and the journalist can creep up on that. Trust me, it will be a bit of a race at first where mafia is trying to find those 2 power roles before the Carolee sings all the members.
The best part is that while doing that, they risk hitting the fool, so they gotta be careful and not just randomly tag ppl.

It's not the greatest plan but it the best I could think of where We would have a copy of all the names said if that vt died at night, stored with someone safe or told by the expandable vt during the day. Rise and repeat

[Sin]

NoLynch is a commonly used tactic in EpicMafia which this setup comes from. Which I why I jumped to it.

That being said, the caroler knows who the killer is. The Journo knows who the Caroler is. Going into a nolynch will give them both ample opportunity to gain MORE information going into Day 2, without forcing them to soft/hard claim due to a bandwagon.

I changed my mind on Carol outting after I re-read the flavor text. Originally I thought Journo followed the Killer, but I did skim over it pretty quick this morning on the train.

Excuses aside, we have a few options for Day 1:

1) Caroler claims by outting who they caroled (The Killer), we then lynch the Killer obvi, but Caroler dies in Night 2.
2) Start a random wagon to get a claim (Most likely VT, obvi). Run with that info.
3) NoLynch. Caroler then has to pick someone else to Carol, hopefully someone town-sided. Journo attempts to find Stalker and get his report.

Yes, if the Caroler and Journo target the same player, even if that player is killed, Town will receive the report. So Journo could go that route, as well.
