Duck Season II: Firing Back

[Murska]

That's one threat down. 'Hunter-aligned' yeah right.

[Kish]

Hands up, anyone whose trust in Murska is so great that they'll believe the GM lied before they'll believe Murska lied.

(Pretty sure he'll have a new entry for his sig if anyone takes him up on it.)

Are you seriously suggesting that the narrator lied?

[Murska]

Well, I got a PM from the GM saying I got the correct target, unlocking some pro-Town abilities. Whereas the wolf is explicitly portrayed as 'biting' (converting) Hunters. Even if he is technically Town until he has a majority control, it doesn't mean he was doing any work for us.

Plus, why would he lie about being a voider? It's an extremely rare role due to essentially being boring to both play and face, it's almost always harmful to Town to use in a game like this where Town has tons of powers while the wolf nightkill is never voidable, and 'Wolf' has no fluff justification to void either.

[Kish]

He spelled out that his power was to shield someone from others' abilities (not strictly what people usually mean when they say "voiding," but I'm not sure what you would call it). And every duck has an ability of some sort (though a couple are at least partially passive--Beast and Alpha--though it's entirely possible that his power would have negated a Beast kill, or at least made sure his protected target would not be picked for Beast kill), because this is an all power role game.

I think you're referring to baning.

[Kish]

When I hear "bane," I think "can't vote-kill," and "can't wolf-kill," not "can't scry."

[Murska]

Beast kill is a day kill. Not voidable at night.

[Xihirli]

The wolves in this game aren't wolves. They're ducks. So roles called "wolves" are not "wolf roles."

[Kish]

This is a previous game run by Duck. Note that the Neutral role (the Witch) is in grey, not blue.

flat_footed was town, if anyone actually doubted that, not that anyone but Murska has claimed to.

[Duck999]

flat_footed was a hunter. Nothing was meant to be confusing about that.

[Disc Lorde]

I apologize again for my lack of participation. I didn't vote in the last day phase because I still had no idea what was going on. I feel like there was a clue as to who the wolves are somewhere in the past few pages, but I can't figure out what. I was planning to make this post yesterday evening, but then my internet went out.

Night 4 Over

Another night, and yet more fright. Hey! That rhymed.

---

The ducks reconvene and pick another target. However, their meeting is interrupted by a rustling nearby.
They found us!
Shh!
The ducks stay very quiet, but the rustling stays. Soon, they hear barking.
It's a dog! It found us! Run!
Some ducks run, but one remains, rifle in wing. He faces the bush and fires a few shots. The barking disappears. The ducks spend the rest of the night running and hiding.

Begin Day 5

48 hours, hopefully.

[Murska]

The network asked me to scry Meta, and he came back as negative. Er, positive? That is to say, he's likely to be an evil duck, or at least some sort of animal - not a hunter or a hunting gadget.

[norman250]

Murska Nope, unless FC comes out and confirms you're his seer contact, I am voting to lynch you, as promised.

[Kish]

Murska, for reasons so obvious I wouldn't write this if his name filled the required characters.

[Murska]

Reasons such as 'lynched a Wolf', who just happened to be on the Hunter side temporarily due to a rules quirk. Nice job trying to stifle proper discussion, avoid gathering Town any information and give the Ducks a free pass.

You can trust Murska like you can trust a dishonest man to be dishonest. Honestly, it's the honest men you have to watch out for.

[Murska]

Precisely. I am always entirely predictable - whatever side I am on, I will attempt to act in a way that benefits that side in some way, manner or form according to my abilities and resources.

Would that "rules quirk" happen to be that they had a town role, as confirmed by the narrator themselves?


We have a mouth piece for the network, if they back you up, I'll switch, but until then I'm going to assume you're a liar.

[Pelican]

Murska. Easy lynch. Probably a good idea to look at other targets as well though so we don't just waste a day.

Well, how is it my fault he happened to have a Town role while being evil?

[Grand Arbiter]

Trying to figure out who's a wolf in this game is a headache. Same goes for the wifi where I've been staying.

I'm inclined not to vote Murska as there is at least one role that could easily have a feud with a wolf, regardless of town/duck allegiance. The lumberjack from among the neutral roles, or something similar, would likely be placed against a wolf. Think Little Red Riding Hood.

I also wouldn't be surprised if Duck999 were to mess with us like this^ just for the fun of it.



I have found Meta suspicious, but I will wait until the network speaks up before changing my vote.



I think I'll poke Deathslayer7 for now.

[Murska]

People just need to learn how to look underneath the underneath. I mean, the only reason it isn't blindingly obvious that I cannot possibly be on the Duck side is that I might be triple-bluffing. But honestly, that's such low odds you'd do better just to discount it. You know I am a genuinely dangerous, subtle Wolf player - the last time I self-destructed was to take out both the Baner and the Seer. Not for something weak like a Voider in a game where they've got better than half odds hitting Town powers.

[Deathslayer7]

I've got nothing to add. I've sent pms to several people and never hear back. So I'm over it. That being said, murska, can you explain yourself more. We have the narrator specifically saying the wolf was hunter aligned yet you saying they were evil.

I think more of an explanation is needed.

[Murska]

Well, evil is subjective, right? From one perspective, Hunters are good and Ducks are evil. From another, Ducks are good and Hunters are evil. From a third, Animals are evil and Humans are good. Who's to say?

[norman250]

That's really what you're going with?

Oh gawd now I've gone cross eyed.

[Xihirli]

Murska did target Meta tonight. I can confirm that.
That doesn't make him any less my vote.

[Lex-Kat]

I will confirm that I asked Murska to scry Meta. According to Murska, Meta came up as an animal.
