Kingmaker Game Thread

[oblivion]

OTOH non-special town could probably stand to try and leave pheromone trails for scum. So far they've come up empty. the longer it goes that way, the better.

There are no specials. Just the Kingmaker who is replaceable like for like and the Hero, who can't be lynched and the King dies in his place. This focus on specials is a diversion. I can;t see assassins being bothered about hitting the Kingmaker or the Hero.

Which leaves the question, why did they hit Callan and then Charlou?

[oblivion]

callan, I dunno, except that her scumdar looked pretty good in the carnivale game. charlou, maybe to both prevent her eventually getting a shot at king, and to improve their own odds of being chosen by the kingmaker.

[oblivion]

and the hero is a danger to them. as the game goes on, their odds of being king increase, and if the hero is still in the game, then the execution carries a risk.

[Zigmen]

Who would leave Oblivion alive? UT, if he were here . . .

Feck? Ani?

[Zigmen]

Add Mort to that list . . .

[oblivion]

Irre maybe. MZ?

I'm bottled wifom as the game progresses.

[Magicziggy]

I don't get why the Kingmaker and Hero are specials in your view.
I just read the wiki and it says the Hero will likely be targeted by scum.
Why? I'm just being dense I know.

crosspost with Oblivion.

I have doen in the past. I wouldn't in this game. You are too dangerous to leave.

Interesting. It looks like the choice of kills is to get specials and/or create WIFOM. And it's done heaps of that.

At least I know I was trolley tracking on charlou now.

I'm very bothered by mono's posts yesterday. He's an obvious choice, but I can't help but think he'd be a wasted execution. As to why he'd FoS oblivion, when he wasn't paying attention at all.. makes no sense.

Morticia should really put in some time here. I'd love to hear her analysis.

It's all well and good that zigmen has an excuse for being all over the place, but still... he's been all over the place. I am certainly not putting him as town just yet.

[oblivion]

He's certainly not cleared. but he did fos an assassin. so did you. In a game this size, if there really are only 2 assassins, that would be a just about inconceivably risky move to fos your teammate. If I did it at all, it would be just one of a big list of suspects.

I don't really get why either.... though, maybe if the king maker chooses a king -- and the scum kill either the choice, or the king maker itself, than that will make for a random king choice for the day. Giving scum the opportunity to be king.

There's the option that you bussed Denny, in order to make it to the end. Since it seems so unlikely you'd do that. But, I'm not betting on that just yet.

The kingmaker chooses a backup king as well.

yes, that's also an option.

Right. I forgot about that.
