Not April Fool's WW I: Bermuda Playground

[Xihirli]

I would love to learn more about that.

[Ramsus]

I don't even know what "graupel" means.
Besides that's some poor logic FC. I of all people know that the boat was lynched and thus could not attack you with a no longer existing thing of some thing I don't know what it.
You've clearly let your skills get rusty if you couldn't even put such simple deduction together.

...But really though. This is some seriously lazy logic being used to make a wagon against me. Very wolfish, going to for the lazy path rather than something that means anything. Thanks to the three of you for giving us some actually good targets I suppose.

[Fleeing Coward]

I had to Google graupel too when I received the message.

The way I see it, I've tried to lynch 2 real people while you've lynched a boat and am trying to lynch a bus now so the total odds of me voting for wolf compared to you voting for a wolf so far is definitely higher

As for my paranoid theory and why I'm voting you - if the bus gets lynched, I'm probably going to have a graupel of a bus tossed at me tonight and I might not survive that.

[BasketOfPuppies]

I’m suspicious of Xihirli for jumping on a non-wagon as it was getting steam and proceeding to post nothing of value to the discussion.

Ramsus because someone attacked me with a boat of graupel last night

A what?

-------------------------------

Why do you want to lynch objects rather than people, Ramsus?

Didn't you vote for the boat too?

[Ramsus]

Why do you want to lynch objects rather than people, Ramsus?

We always lynch people. How many games are we even allowed to lynch non-people? Why wouldn't I take advantage of new opportunities? I wanted to slowly build up to lynching lynching and see what happens.

[Silent_Interim]

Well. Um. I was... not expecting this to actually not be an april fools game. That's genuinely unexpected to me. Um. Hm.

I think that the chain of logic that leads to voting Ramsus is weak. It was day 1 of "Hey this totally isn't an April Fools game ". I can't speak for anyone else, but surely I wasn't the only one expecting a soft reset like we've had in Duck's previous April Fools games, or at least something similar.

I frankly don't think that there's any real evidence to be gotten out of day 1 here. What we can get evidence out of, as Ramsus points out, is the people trying to construct a wagon out of flotsam. Namely kgato, Tanar Aerdoth, and FC. Of those, kgato cast the first vote with a reasonable question, albeit one I feel has been reasonably answered, and Tanar also raised a valid point. Fleeing Coward feels highly suspicious to me, with a non-reason initially presented for that vote and honestly, still no real reason presented.

[Caerulea]

Somebody left me out in a thunderstorm without shelter and I am very cross. And wet.

I suspect Fleeing Coward is more likely to be town than not, but I do not have much to go on.

Hey Duck999, my vote remains on Cerulea but I will make sure to shoot Caerulea tonight

'shoot' implies to me something like vigilante, whereas a wolf more likely would have said kill. But I don't know.

I am suspicious of Silent_Interim's vote for themself.

[BasketOfPuppies]

Tanar: I did vote for the boat because I was late to the day phase and didn’t see my vote changing anything. I mainly prodded Xihirli to hear more from her.

[Duck999]

I wasn't the only one expecting a soft reset like we've had in Duck's previous April Fools games, or at least something similar.

I don't think I've hosted April Fool's before (still haven't, clearly). You're probably thinking of Penguinator.

[Silent_Interim]

I don't think I've hosted April Fool's before (still haven't, clearly). You're probably thinking of Penguinator.

......yes. Yes I am. That's my bad. Well. I look like a real a-hole now. Um.

...my points all still stand.

I suspect Fleeing Coward is more likely to be town than not, but I do not have much to go on.

'shoot' implies to me something like vigilante, whereas a wolf more likely would have said kill. But I don't know.

...you're right, that's really not much to go on. Especially given that that's the kind of language trick a wolf is likely to employ, and which I think FC is competent enough to employ.

I am suspicious of Silent_Interim's vote for themself.

Ah yes, the classic wolf play of... trying to get oneself lynched? Look, I wasn't taking day one seriously. As a point of fact, I'm still not 100% convinced that it's not actually building up to an elaborate joke, although I do doubt it rather seriously at this point.

[PopeLinus1]

Wait! don't lynch Ramsus! I am at least vaguely sure he's not a killing role! I think The bus should be destroyed. Wait do we even have a bus?

[Xihirli]

I’m suspicious of Xihirli for jumping on a non-wagon as it was getting steam and proceeding to post nothing of value to the discussion.

Because Ramsus's behavior reads as eccentric Neutral rather than wolf, to be honest. He's drawing way too much attention for this to be a wolf play.

Frankly, I think getting non-lynches might be something that helps him somehow and if he's dependent on the town for that sort of thing his power likely helps town.

A lot of assumptions to be sure but I wanted to see how it played out.
Nothing much has been discovered from the Boat lynch and, y'know, Sunk Costs. But Ramsus is to be ignored, not lynched. There's real wolves to hit.

[Ramsus]

Ramsus is to be not lynched.

Ramsus is to be ignored.

Ramsus is ignored.

Ramsus, to be ignored.

[Logic]

Wait! don't lynch Ramsus! I am at least vaguely sure he's not a killing role! I think The bus should be destroyed. Wait do we even have a bus?

Voting for a non-player is about as effective as voting for no-lynch. No lynch has it's place in a "mislynch and lose" scenario, but otherwise, voting is town's weapon, and should be used.
kinglinus1

FOS on Ramsus for much the same reason.

[Murska]

Woof. The bus is a safe spot from the storms. The light of day shines upon us as the clouds part. Bark.

I think voting for oneself is bad, but that didn't work out yesterday, so Ramsus, since voting for non-wolves is also bad.

[Xihirli]

Those smily and frowny faces are a powerful argument but I’m afraid I won’t be voting for the bus.

Okay, Okay, calm down, you've convinced me, I won't try to lynch The Bus. I'll try and lynch... someone... I'm not sure. But I very much believe that Ramsus is not responsible for Cuthalion's death.

Xihirli, who are you voting for?

[Elenna]

IMO the whole boat voting thing seems more likely to be a side goal from a neutral or townie rather than a wolf ploy. If only because it's so obviously not helpful to town.

However, nobody has asked Requilac why he voted for the boat yet. Plus his putting a second vote on it turned it from a single silly vote to an actual wagon. And he hasn't said anything yet today.

[Duck999]

Note:

If you are PMing people, I would greatly appreciate being included.

[Ramsus]

Well, since we're apparently not bussing the bus, I'll switch to voting for Fleeing Coward because they're still voting for me after admitting it's unlikely their reason for voting for me was a valid one.
Though I'd be happy to switch that to someone else. I'm particularly suspicious of Tanar Aerdoth. They turned a single vote for me into an actual wagon and their justification for doing so was the kind of "serious sounding without any real content" thing wolves love to do to seem towny while actually being completely unhelpful.
Murska jumping on my wagon after it's already been pointed out I'm likely not a wolf by multiple people also looks fairly bad.
(And really, if I was a wolf why wouldn't I have been voting for people on day 1? Wolves (and masons) are the only people day 1 who have the information necessary to provide them with any kind of targets even if those targets are "not a wolf". Murska's been playing long enough to know this by hear by now, so it's pretty odd they're just ignoring that to vote for me anyway.)

[BasketOfPuppies]

Woof. Bark.

Those are our words! You’re not MurskaOfPuppies!

Also, I feel like FC threw out that Graupel thing just to confuse people.

[Silent_Interim]

Those are our words! You’re not MurskaOfPuppies!

BasketOfMurska, maybe?

[Requilac]

Ramsus because someone attacked me with a boat of graupel last night

Umm, yeah, sorry about that. The graupel was probably my fault. I know for a fact that I did release some Graupel out last night, but I am not wholly sure if my storm was the one that hit you. If it's of any relevance, you were to the SouthEast last night.

__________________________________________

Okay, it's time for a powerplay on my part. Brethren and Sistren, we can ace this game 'fore the end of the day if you listen to my plan.

Harken all to my words! For I call the Order of the Ancient Triangle, Those Who Look upon the Eye Encapsuled in the Pyramid, The Once and Future World Order, The Illuminati, to gather for a final sacrament! For I, the Wise Old Man, have been granted a prophecy by the god of the One Less than a Thousands Ducks, that when all of those sworn to the Illuminati have found each other, they shall reign supreme over this game in triumph! So come together my siblings, present yourself to the Playground (or you know, me over PM should work to) so that we may all find eachother, form the Sacred Triangle and Light the Sacred eye, and let us blare our light upon the Playground! If we all find eachother before the wolves or our enemies can slay us, then we shall automatically win! Arise my family in the shadows, Let us End this! For once we have found one another, the Playground is ours!

And Please do it quickly, because the Duck God has also portended to me that there are some out there who would prefer me dead. And you know, it's really going to throw a wrench in the works if we die before we can complete the ritual.

I not only have words to back up my evidence though, I have proof! Lo and Behold the vision itself that the Duck God has presented to me. I have a link to a screenshot of the role PM which Duck999 has sent me saved in my Google Drive... Library of Supreme Transcendance! And take careful consideration into the date and time, for this PM was sent before the game even started, so I could not have tampered with it using a game action!

And please my Illuminati family, don't refrain from joining us because you wouldn't want it to end so quickly. We can just run another game immediately afterwards if it is a problem. I would even be willing to host it following the exact same rules if Duck can't. Let's get the novelty of ending the game on Day 2 though, just for once. It will make for quite a story in the future.

[Ramsus]

Aren't the Illuminati supposed to be a secret order?

[BasketOfPuppies]

Aren't the Illuminati supposed to be a secret order?

I still don’t believe in them.

[Duck999]

-Snippity-snip-snip-

Usually we don't post role PMs as that would add a whole layer to claims that is unreasonable for WW games.

[Caerulea]

I still don’t believe in them.

There is no such thing as the order of the [redacted]. Any evidence to the contrary does not exist, and is a figment of your imagination. Keep calm. If you find yourself believing in the [redacted], contact the local government for non-existence therapy. Any claims that non-existence therapy consists of killing you and hiding the fact you existed are false. If you believe them, contact the local government for therapy. Remember, a compliant citizen is a good citizen.

[Xihirli]

So what? The Illuminati is to leave the rest of us Playgrounders behind and have an insta-win without Town's participation?
That's not the evil shadow organization I was promised.

[Tris]

I don't know what to make of this Illuminati thing. I'm unvoting for a moment.
