Maybe the best option here is for all the good guys to... Not vote at all?

If Fool's is the one with the Loud Voice potion, if the Acolytes only have 3 votes, they can't hit the 4 vote threshold by themselves... If there's no secondary vote for them to fall back on, I assume that gives canadaguy no options.

@Ants! Can you clarify that for Fanatic to work someone has to have at least 1 vote? They can't just pick from anyone if the rest of us are at 0, right?

It only works if someone gets at least 4

We run the risk of the acolytes winning this way. Because they can potentially get a controlling vote against Zell tomorrow. Guaranteed acolyte win if Tommy happens to be town.

Sounds good to me.

His power only works if the person with the most votes meets the minimum threshold for a witch hunt. The second highest can be any number.

I'm saying if we don't vote and thus not lynch anyone we run the risk of the acolytes controlling the game.

Additionally, if Zell decides "fuck the town" they can get the minimum and control who is killed.

I don't believe it's in our best interest to not vote here.

Zell has only one choice to kill, Tommy. He can choose to not though.

It's entirely possible for them to have at least one loud potion they bought at night.

Maybe it's a gamble, but otherwise they're guaranteed to kill Zell or anyone else they want. I don't see any way to control who the second highest vote is, we could only make it a tie where he gets to pick, or no vote at all.

@Ants! Can I retract a bounty after posting it? I could change my request to Zell assassinating cg instead of Tommy, then it's guaranteed it's killing an acolyte.

No, but you can post a second bounty. Technically you would still have the funds because he can only pick one bounty.

Yeah, I hear your points. Zell just seemed inclined to help us take them out, so I'd hoped to use that still.

If we have to have someone die I guess it's better it be Zell though.

I'm gonna stop trying to think my way out of this hole. There probably isn't one.

Here's the thing... he's playing to his win condition too. He's still got as much a chance as anyone. So he's going to say that because he needs us convinced so we don't lynch him. Almost ALWAYS in a kingmaker scenario for the SK, they choose to align with the wolves. So I wouldn't bank too much on his willingness to help us. I'm positive if the acolytes were outed he'd play to them too.

You only lose it when he does the deed after picking your bounty.

Also, you can't cancel the bounty, but you can render it void or breach if you spend enough of your money so that you don't have enough to pay him the promised amount.
OH, so it's like a student loan. I can just not pay it. Word.

I guess I was assuming I paid the money up front, sticking the gold to the bulletin board with the bounty or some shit. Not that I gave up the gold only when it was fulfilled.

We should probably have the main votes on CG and try to have the second most votes on another suspected acolyte, right?

I guess what's the vibe meter here? CG we know, and I'm still relatively high on Tommy being an acolyte. That leaves either me, Ben or Jawneh as the last one (I'm higher on it being Jawneh than Ben personally; I know it isn't me, but I can't prove it other than with my actions).

@Ants! I remember where I left the spear Quagmire gave me (inside local). If I can roll a 100 on a d100, can I get it back? 🥺

Edit: pffft rolled like a brick
 
  • Nope!

Everyone should vote for me

I don't trust Zell to do anything that doesn't benefit his game. ESPECIALLY since Acolytes can't kill him outside of lynching.
I assume it's very unlikely Zell is winning by managing to be the last person alive. That's why I said it's smelling kingmakery.

But Acolytes won last game, so I'm just assuming he might want to balance it.

No guarantee, but seemed better than not trying to kill more Acolytes.
