The Skeleton’s Diary
Imagine that… the cake being a serial killer? How does one fit all of the hard, dry, bone matter in such a moist, succulent cake? It’s quite simple really….
THE CAKE IS A LIE!!!
But yes, the reason I am doing this is to provide others with my thought processes as I run through this game. I’m not running through this game killing off random people, no! I am a tactician (or trying to at least), and have certain strategies that I’m going to try and use to cause the best opportunity for me to win, though it’s freakin’ hard to win in this role. So without further ado, here we go!
Night 1: Stalking. Lots of stalking was done during this night. So yes, I was studying forum habits. What I did was try and identify those with power roles, and I did that by looking at who was “Engaged in conversation” and kept going back and forth between this message and viewing the Mafia thread.
Defiant_Blob was rather difficult to track, as he uses tapatalk which prevents me from noticing where he is browsing on the forums at various different times. So yes, the night dragged on, and on, and on… and I thought it was quite obvious that
Darth_Lego had a power role. Why would Alpha hold the game out so long, if he wasn’t waiting for a power role to respond? So with Darth obviously away (he didn’t return to the forums till Sunday, as he promised), I decided to forgo my previous observations about those engaged in conversation and chose
Darth_Lego as my target, on suspicions that he had a power role. I had changed my target mid-night, with the previous one being
77_is_the_best (who turned out to be the cop D: ).
Day 1: I had been hit on the first night! I had apparently been seen as a threat to the Mafia/Vigilante, and now only had one life remaining! How was I going to help prove that I could still provide something to the game! So lure them in with lovely friendly cake! What else could help soothe the concerns of others suspicions, when cake is “trying” to solve the case? Well, I noticed it grew rather difficult to keep posting in this way, and decided to get rid of the act. After a few posts by Blob, I noticed that Defiant was acting uncharacteristic of his previous roles, being more aggressive in wanting a vote, and seeing this, decided that he could very well be the Mafia. At first, I got a bit too aggressive with Defiant, trying to appear like I was actively trying to save the humans. I learned my lesson from my first season, and decided it might be best to agree with the most influential player in the game, and thus, we killed
77_is_the_best, who we found out was the cop! One less threat down, and perhaps one mafia will soon be off my case since the cop revealed Blob’s role, and if the vigilante doesn’t kill Defiant_Blob, I can possibly escape another day of lynching!
Night 2: I again did my stalking of players and again, I noticed players “Engaged in conversation”. This night,
Defiant_Blob,
Sploorky, and HarmakPaul were all seen in conversation as soon as Night fell, and I concluded that this combination could be the Mafia. Feeling that if Defiant survived, he would be hanged the following day, I felt it was in my best interest to target another player,
Sploorky. Marnixxie had suspicions of
HarmakPaul, and I felt that Marn might target Harmak the following day if he had further suspicions.
Day 2: So yes, my suspicions about
Sploorky were correct. He was a zombie after all. The mafia ended up targeting
Duffie, which is sorta odd, as I didn’t see her as a threat at the time. Perhaps it was her reluctance to vote that caused this? Nevertheless,
Defiant_Blob managed to survive the night, somehow, and it becomes a pretty simple vote for us. So yes, Blob is lynched and transforms into a zombie, and the Mafia is scrambling to catch up. Next day I will make an effort to be friendly towards
HarmakPaul make myself less of a threat for him, so that I can escape for a few more nights until I eliminate him.
Night 3: Even though I believe that Harmak is a zombie, I will keep him alive until I can root out the other Mafia member. I’ll hope that he kills a few more until I decide the time is right to make my strike. I’m targeting
balloon98, one of my suspects from the first night.
Day 3- Died from the enderman! Crap!
