PlasticAutomaton's apartment has been emptied out and they now seem to be unemployed. Turns out Initech controls various shell companies and contracters!

It is now Day Four!

Firing is scum, Beating in a field is IA, burning is the Janitor kill.

After some review and documentation slid their way, it was not clear to The Bobs why they had a waitress who doubles as a faulty copy machine under their employment. They decided to fix the glitch and send Cloacamazing! packing.

Missed one, basically fired again, scum kill on Clo.

Okay okay, so if it's that obvious why were you even wondering about the IA as SK scenario?

What do you mean? We know IA is doing the beating killings. The question is is IA a SK or an alternate night town vigilante.

I'm town (it ain't me)
You really think Wolo pushed me with 2 scum remaining?

In my mind it's IA as the SK or Sand as the last scum who's been hedging on the edges all game, or Grandi who could pretty comfortably bus GW in that situation since Wolo and her had been going at it for the game.

You think there's an SK and 4th scum lol?

How about this. I wont use my vig tonight if the game doesn't end with our lunch today. No need to dwindle the player pool further when scum are on the ropes.

I'll retire my field beatings

No, what I mean is, Grandi is presenting it as very possible, does he think it's a SK with alternating night kills only? Or me as the last scumm and IA vig? Or some other scenario? Basically I don't want to see myself voted out today without Grandi and Sand held out for real concrete opinions on IA's role and what future info will mean.

##vote Sandwolf I know I've been on Grandi most of the game, but Sandy staying so quiet and under the radar all game is making me think he's the most likely scum remaining.

You think Cena has genuine tells about who's doing the night kill in flavour?

IA also claimed Michael Bolton early on, it was fairly obvious after he killed RWC and Grandi already pointed out the flavor differences on other nights.

My issue with not lunching IA is just taking "I swear I won't shoot" at face value and risking him hitting another town.

Yes it's a risk and personally I'm not sure taking the flips at face value is a given on tonight's kill not being IA. But if everybody else is so sure on it. I don't think we would have 4 scum and SK in 15 players so town IA should be trusted not to shoot for our benefit if that is the case.

# ? Jan 17, 2023 02:14

To clarify if you'll are so sure IA didn't do the kill tonight, then we should have 4 scum and it's either Sand or Grand

Yeah, I mean my kill flavor is obv. as grand pointed out.

And, Mae, if I killed someone, you could just kill me and win if I was SK/Scum, right? You have nothing to lose from a numbers standpoint in taking my, cross my heart, hope to die, jab a needle in my eye, pinky promise, that I won't use my vig tonight.

having an almost infini-vig has been quite the power trip though. It's been a little great, even if I hosed up my 2nd shot and killed OA.

You�re right there was a time when they were commonplace. Sometimes multiple vigs would go off. What I�m saying is that we need more cpig games

I don't think I really have anything to add that hasn't already been said. If Illu isn't the last scum, we lunch IA the next day and hopefully I won't be around for LYLO if game doesn't end there somehow because I'll truly have no goddamn idea.

Illusionis posted:

I've been fooled by scum Sand many times so it's not out of the question but I'm not seeing it and I can't imagine binus or Grandi as scum at this rate.

fair enough? Trusting someone with a vig will be a check off the mafia bucket list in 2023.

I think the right play here is we vote out Illu.
If Illu doesn't flip scum, IA should shoot either me or Sandwolf.
Then you execute the other in the morning.

I think that math works. 6 alive today, 5 alive in the night, IA kills, Remaining Scum kills, if they don't overlap, 3 alive tomorrow. Binus or Maer and IA vote together.

If IA is town vig, this is solid if the final scum is in me, sandy and illu.
If IA is SK, IA has a 50% chance of killing the final scum (unless it's Maer or Binus, but if that's the case, we've already lost), if SK IA does kill the final scum. Then it will be 3 alive, with 2 town and a known SK, easy win.
If IA is SK and hits town, that is kingmaker scenario, you vote the remaining of me or Sandwolf and hand IA the game for a game well played (and the chance that he is still just a town vig)

IA holstering it makes tomorrow a choice between me and Sandwolf. IA firing gives town a better chance to win outright even if he is a SK.
The only case where this isn't true is if IA shoots either binus or Maer, but I feel like if he did that, he'd be giving the game to scum as a giant middle finger rather than playing to his win-con.

There was a Illusionis here. They're gone now.

Votecount for Day 5
With 6 alive, it's 4 votes to execute. The current deadline is January 18th, 2023 at 11 p.m. EST -- that's in about 1 day, 10 hours.

Remember to practice confidentiality and security measures. We don't want those scumbags at Initrode stealing company secrets.

STING 64: Oct 20, 2006

It seems everyone else in the office had a real case of the mondays, and after enough complaints, The Bobs have decided to sever their services with the local temp agency leaving Illusionis now having a case of the tuesdays.

Uh oh, looks like someone has a case of the VANILLAs! You're The Unnamed Temp!

You know, some people just don't appreciate good customer service, company loyalty, forty seven pieces of flair. Maybe that's why Grandicap was dragged into an open field and beaten to death!

You are Brian, Tchochkes Waiter! You have over 43 pieces of flair and might come off as incredibly abrasive. Maybe that's why you just get to be VANILLA in this game.

After some internal review, Idle Amalgam was let go due to violent outbursts.

quote:

You are Michael Bolton. You're sick of the technology, sick of your bosses, and sick of being confused for the famous singer. Because of this, you're taking matters into your own hands!

I was going to do the same thing I did the day before and come in and vote but it didn�t work out that way. I was obviously in favor of killing Illusionis, I had been saying so for days.

And now instead of gearing up for the Grandi/Sandi thing I have to do even more work and figure out which of you two is scum. At least try to.
