I sent in a no kill last night as I liked my odds better on a 4 people scenario and because I was hoping the last mafia would roleblock someone other than me and go after that guy with a vengeance thinking he was the mutant. That is why I wanted to know who was roleblocked. I knew it was either you or y2k for the last scum and not ILN, nor maniac, but I needed a town lynch on day 3 which is why I pushed for maniac and ILN. On hindsight I should had tried to lynch y2k then instead of maniac as that would had given me the info on you that I needed as I was completely sure Maniac was town. I just did not want to risk killing the last mafia on Day 3 without knowing who the doc was. When pj ousted I thought about changing but the likely target was ILN who was also town in my book.

In summary:

I killed uclabb on Night 1 because of his WIFOM comments and his hard town read on me. Also considered at the time maniac right up until his fakeclaim which left him out of the running and bosox. That is the reason why I never elaborated on bo, I intended to kill him on night 2.

I killed ghug on Night 2 because he was obviously vig since he was completely sure bosox was fakeclaiming from the outset and I knew vig had killed Chaqa.

I sent no kill on night three because I did not want to risk the kingmaker scenario we are in right now and figured that my odds of finding the last scum today were 50-50 and in the night less than 33%. Wanted to try and avoid the kingmaker scenario if possible.

I had a nagging feeling that you were the last mafia, which is why I came out the gate voting for you today. But the case against you as lizard was so weak that I found the case against y2k more compelling. My strongest piece of evidence that you were mafia was something that would hold no ground in court. I figured early today that Vashta had left some clues on his initial flavour text that pointed towards me being mutant, krellin a town power role and you lizard. That is why I said to Vashta that he has a sick sense of humor. I especially thought this was telling because Vashta left several clues when he was vig in M3 in his flavour texts so I figured he might dare to do it again. I was sad that I realized it after night was over and not before as I would had taken a shot at you just to find out if my theory was true.

##Call GM: now that everything is out in the open, was it truly random or is your sense of humor really that cruel? lol.
guak (3381 D)
17 Jul 14 UTC
Yeah I agree too. My night action is kill WD obviously lol. No point in making it a secret.
For the record, it was somewhat random. I did not purposely do that to the flavor, but I did notice it while I was writing (I was naturally drawn to put the power roles in the story since I remembered them easier), but decided to not change it, after all, who would believe that was the case even if someone caught on.
Okay, Warden and guak, I would suggest you make your cases. Around the deadline (7:00 P.M EDT) tomorrow, I would suggest pj PM me with his decision, instead of announcing it, so I can shock everyone with the final story. I will probably post the story around an hour after PJ decides.
guak (3381 D)
17 Jul 14 UTC
Alright, my case is quite simple.

@pj: You basically have three choices: nuke the Earth and render it useless (we all lose), let the illegal aliens invade our world and rule it forever (let WD and company win), or allow evolution to win and let the XMen run rampant :D Clearly, the obvious choice is to help Mystique win.

lol your call anyway. It was a fun game either way and I absolutely loved playing the SK role.

Allow me to refute our resident mutant's claim that he/she represents a benign group of Xmen. This mysterious killer has zero good intentions for humanity, and in fact intends on replacing them with her own kind. Homo Sapiens eliminated their less-evolved kin, and Mystique's final goal is no different.

Though we lizards may seem frightening, and indeed have our own share of blood on our claws, but that blood also includes the willing sacrifice of our own kind to build a better future, one where mankind and lizardfolk can live in peace. Prior to this unfortunate incident involving the President of this United States, there was little cause for concern regarding our presence among you, and now that you have become aware of our presence, it only increases the opportunity you have to share in our technological bounty, and join with us as we explore the countless worlds of the cosmos. Now, naturally, such vast benefits cannot come without cost, and since the destruction of our own world has left us planetless, there are certain territorial concessions we would need in order to begin our partnership. For instance, we require a significant warm land mass in order to propagate our species, and expand our fleet. There are vast tracks of unused and underused land in the continent of Africa that would fit our needs perfectly. Any humans living there would naturally fall under the jurisdiction of their new lizard governors, but rest assured that they would be treated humanely. We have read extensively from the book, "How to Serve Man" and found its ideas quite enlightening.

As for the US government, naturally we would make suitable reparations for this incident. Weregild will be paid to the families of those affected, and we could even offer replacement personnel for those lost during this time of trial, and it would naturally be up to you personally, how that payment will be dispersed.

But perhaps this does not sway your opinion. You need only ask, and I'm certain that I can come up with a creative resolution that will satisfy you. All that is required, is an endorsement, and then you will have nothing left to worry about.

What is a dead man going to do with money? At least he will get to enjoy shapeshifting mutant sex with whomever he wants right before dying. Plus, do you prefer alien overlords that will kill all mankind or simply to allow humanity to evolve and later invade he lizard's planet and avenge the world? @ghug: your family will be dead too either way. Plus stop haunting pj, you are dead.

@y2k: why did I need to come out? I needed to try to draw out the last mafia to fakeclaim. If I did not get the fakeclaim then it was still a 50-50 shot at killing the right man between you and WD. If I had claimed, you would had still died. I think that staying hidden was the right move unless a fakeclaim was made or pj wanted to hang me instead of you near the end as it gave me increased odds of winning during the night and even gave me an additional shot at winning during the last day in case pj got the save right. I think the one who blew it was you. You came out the door with the know it all knowledge that I was mafia and never entertained the alternative. You never defended yourself and made it awfully clear that you were not open to changing your mind. That was scummy behavior any way you see it.
y2kjbk (4846 D(G))
17 Jul 14 UTC
I'm not saying I didn't fuck up. But if you had come out as mutant from the get-go, I would have given serious consideration that you were telling the truth, depending on if and how Warden played to it. It would have blown me out of my tunnel vision on you being mafia as well. Did it actually seem like I was trying to manipulate rather than just being stuck in my beliefs of who was who?

what is the average age of webdiplomacy players?
Is there a statistic? I want to know. In a game I felt I was playing with the stubbornness of a child. He/she wanted ALL his way. All the negotiation was "this is mine mine mine". He/she couldn't see the repercussions of a bad decision because he/she wanted the gratification of now.

Seriously, knowing the age of a person before starting a game or a negotiation can help a lot. Psychological speaking.

BNP Paribas extorted by US government for $9 billion fine
I'm surprised nobody has mentioned this.

US crushed French bank even though it violated no international, or bilateral law, simply because trade is done in dollars. This is abuse of power and signifies that the US no longer upholds a free trade system. It will use the fact that trade is done in dollars to destroy people even if they broke no law.
