Fire Emblem Mafia - Game Thread - Concluded

[noname2200]

We have six more days, so I'm not sure there's any rush. That said, I also get the impression that letting the days go too long has the potential to hurt as much as hinder, seeing as how it's the tail end when things get...frisky.

I'm going to begin on the warranted assumption that Words of Wisdom is running a good and balanced game here.

Of the three options, RCT has had the most suspicious activity, and Smeags' detective work yesterday exposes an inconsistency which I don't expect of WoW. Moreover, RCT's probably the "safest" bet at the moment, seeing as how he claims vanilla and hasn't exactly contributed much. His flip also has an impact on conegamer's alignment, in my opinion: if he flips town, three town kill-preventers (I'm lumping in padib for the time being) seems an acceptable amount, while four (an estimated 35%-45% of the town, depending on the number of scum) beggars belief.

WhiteEagle is somewhat redundant, if nickle is to be believed. He's also been a bit hard to understand (no offense!), though we get there in the end. My gut says "town," but then my gut also said that eating that gas station hotdog was a good idea, so screw my gut: facts mean more in my opinion. That said, his flip would have a direct impact on conegamer's alignment: a townie WhiteEagle isn't going to lie about conegamer sitting at home, while a scum WhiteEagle has cause to do just that. His death is the most likely to lead directly to a scum, one way or the other.

Conegamer is suspicious as all get out. The fact that he claimed doctor so readily and early screams either newbie or scum. His continued survival argues more the latter than the former. As established earlier, a bodyguard/doctor combo would unbalance the game dramatically as well. Plus, if padib is town and RCT is being honest, 4 out of and estimated 9 to 11 players are town kill-preventers. Finally, he says he paid a visit to sparks last night, while WhiteEagle is saying he didn't. Each of the above points can be countered with a "yes, but", however occam's razor would suggest cone isn't who he says he is.

Based on the above, I think the logical order of things should be either rct -> cone or whiteeagle -> cone, at least until we hit a scum. I find RCT more scummy, but whiteeagle will be more direct in uncovering the liar. But as I said, there's plenty of time, so let me mull it over for a bit (because anyone but sparks' opinion carries so much weight in this discussion. ).

I would add though, for sparks' benefit, that I believe you should emulate Smeags on this one, and exercise some caution before pulling the trigger. You can't unring that bell...
