dead thread tokyo drift

If Ben is smart, I say he convinces them to lynch Local. The last wolf can't kill a solo killer, so he's safe at night. Gives red potion to Kat and Black potion to one of the others. Last wolf kills either one of the town or Jon the fool, hopefully not someone who got a potion. Day opens with Ben and 1 wolf and two others. Kat and one of the others drop dead, leaving just Ben and a town or the non-violent solo left to vote. No lynch. He kills the last other player with black potion. He wins.

I'm glad that everyone just went all in with the shooting and killing and stuff this game. It was fun and is leading to an interesting conclusion.

If the town lynches Ben, the wolves win.

If the town lynches Kat, Ben can only kill 1 tomorrow and needs to try to figure out if it would be better to target the other townie (through luck that they don't hit the same person), kill the last wolf (probably a bad call since he would then be voted out and it would lead to 1 townie and 1 fool), or to kill the fool and have it be 1-1-1 with the wolf, townie, and Alchemist. That would make the townie pick the winner (no lynch would result in the Alchemist winning).

If the town lynches the other wolf, then it would be possible to both kill a wolf and someone else for tomorrow, with the wolf also killing off a townie. Potential to get it down to just 2 players tomorrow for an alchemist win.

If they lynch the other wolf and then kat decides to not kill anyone tonight that could actually make it 1-1-1 with the town, fool, and alchemist, and it would be down to Jon to pick the winner.


I say the town should rebel and just try to lynch Jon.
 
In case anyone wants to know:

Alchemist: Ben
Non-violent solo: Jon (fool)
Shadow wolf: Kat
Berserker wolf: Local Hero
Townie: canadaguy (bell ringer)
And obviously FR is the other remaining townie.

Also an interesting tidbit: When they lynched Jawneh, it was Kat and Local with the double votes, plus Ben as the fifth vote to make the minimum 5 votes. Funny part is flagger Jawneh had himself protected and redirecting to Local, so fortunately for Local it doesn't work on Lynches because he would have been voting for himself to die.

So Ben just happened to vote the same?

If you are the fool, you help the solo killer here. Even with your role outed you have an outside shot.

A fool vs solo killer on the last day is always very interesting because there's game theory implications with the vote. Solo killer only survives if the vote is tied (either both vote each other, or neither vote). If the Fool votes out the SK the town wins. If the SK votes out the fool the Fool wins.

So put yourself in the SK position. The Fool votes you, and you vote back....but you know they are going to unvote at the last second right? RIGHT?

Note to @Ants! and @Benzine, if the Fool is still around during the day tomorrow make sure you have a very clearly defined poll closing time for this reason. The Fool may very well be involved in some shenanigans.

Hell yeah do it Jon
 
Winning Conditions:

Village: Kill all wolves and the solo killer.

Wolves: Kill the solo killer. Once the wolves make up half the total players, the wolves win, regardless of the roles remaining.

Solo Killer: Kill all other players.

@Zell 17 can you clarify on the wolves winning condition? Do they HAVE to kill the solo killer to win, or is that just advice on how to win? Because that seems to conflict with the "half the players regardless of roles remaining" part.

It’s an “AND” condition. The wolves must do both.

So my choices for reads this game were:
Zell (came back red, unfortunately incorrectly fooled by the shaman)
Tommy/Kat
Ben/Jon

Other than that first one I feel pretty good about my selections there. Not that it all would have been useful returns, but I was sus of the right people (when I was picking them by name) it seems.
We did a good job with our picks where we only overlapped by 1 each time

Christina/ben

Man if your second one went through we would have gotten to watch Tommy be killed by the potion and then known kat was red as well. That would have taken care of the shadow vote

I mean it's kind of a tiny bit bullshit that it didn't go through...

I mean you had no way of knowing that there would be two townies that died during the day phase today. Had kut not gotten the black potion and FR shot kat instead then the town probably wins this.
 
Why did the town vote Ben if they know who the wolves are? I feel like I missed something math shortkut etc related
It basically became a "who would you rather lose to" thing because it was down to 2 townies 2 wolves and 2 solos and everyone's role was out in the open.
