Btw, Jackal, could you be so kind as to provide us with a list of who we're allowed to vote for?

We are at a slight disadvantage without the benefit of the Day 1 vote history.

The Jackal question:

Who gets voted off today,the person with the most votes, OVERALL, or the person with the most votes in each thread?

Cube (1997) - IMDb

Game will be based around this movie. Each day will take place in a different room of the Cube, and starting N1, everyone will have the chance to vote on which direction to move in. Some rooms may be tame, other may be infused with bull moose specials! But each room will have a specific way of destroying the lynch victim. Irrelevant to roles, simply flavor.

Single deadline will either be 9 or 10 PM EST, can be voted on or I'll just decide. Lynch votes and night actions due at that time.

No lynch is an option, but I wouldn't recommend it. The Cube doesn't like no victims. Go ahead and piss off the Cube. See what happens.

In the case of tie votes, no one will know how the Cube will react. It may depend on how that particular room of the Cube is feeling.

----------

This game is going to be a little different than normal. There is not going to be a seer, or a regular night kill mechanism. There will be three factions, one village team and two separate wolf teams that do not know each other.

Victory conditions:
Village: Minor - Outlast both wolf teams, Major - Outlast both wolf teams and escape the Cube
Wolves: Minor - Outlast other wolf team, Major - Outlast other wolf team, achieve 1-1 ratio with other cube members

All three factions will have the opportunity to commit one night kill each, more on that later.

Vanilla PM:

You are a vanilla cube rat. You are a normal person who has awoken in a strange experiment with no knowledge of how they got there.

Village Roles:

Bodyguard - May protect one person each night from attack, including himself. May not protect the same person twice in a row. If the person the bodyguard is protecting is attacked, the bodyguard and assailant will both die.

Duke - May once during the game change the lynch target.

Commando - May once during the game attempt to kill another player at night. This will only be active after one correct room has been entered.

Neutral Roles:

Jester's Mole - Tiebreaker on all movement and in-room decisions. May have unknown skills. Achieves major victory if he survives until the end of the game. Counts as a villager in the overall role count.

Inferno Hunter - May each day scan for the inferno device. If the hunter locates the device, they have the option of detonating it or deactivating it. Counts as a villager in the overall vote count.

Wolf Teams:

Scientists: This group of people were scientists who worked on the mechanisms and theories behind the Cube. They are led by the Physicist, and while he is alive this wolf team may learn whether one exit each day is the correct or incorrect route.

Construction Workers: This group of people were involved in the physical creation of the Cube. They are led by the foreman and volunteered to be in this experiment out of a mixture of bloodlust and greed. While the foreman is alive, this wolf team may learn whether one exit each day is the correct or incorrect route.

Items:

Inferno device - The device starts in a random person on the first day and moves randomly to another every night. Once three incorrect rooms have been entered, the device will explode.

Is it worth talking about the room we picked?

Jackal, er I mean, Jester, how does the bodyguard work in this situation? Is the BG allowed to protect players in a different room? Similar questions for the other roles that scan/target people.

It is if they lied in the thread:

So, let's suppose that they said, in thread, that they wanted Door Blue, but they chose Orange. To me, that says they changed their mind. Why? Look at the rules The Jackal posted so nicely for us. One possible reason could be that they found out about the door with a wolf role. I would find that suspicious, wouldn;t you?

Pushing people is never bad play. Getting the wolves to talk more and more helps to trip them up. The more we can get them to say, the more we have to have them later, so pushing is ideal. Pushing on door choice is just one of the few tools we actually have at this point, no?

Okay, I think it behooves us to have a consensus candidate that we all vote for, rather than splitting our votes. Just in case the top candidate among both threads is the one that is offed.

Jackal - On the inferno device, I'm assuming that we don't know if it is inside of us? Once it's explodes, is it gone? Lastly, is it three wrong rooms in order? Or just the third wrong door entered?

I do not like te idea of only one target for our votes. It does little to help figure out possible wolves. so...
Vote Zinto

I disagree, since we are split, our voting records will be somewhat contrived anyway. I would probably not vote for CF today if I could chose from everybody, but if the other team decides to pool most or all votes on one candidate, one of us will get lynched if our votes are split. I don't know how long we are going to be divided, but I like our chances of getting out if we have more people to figure this thing out as opposed to less.

Vote CF

I guess no matter what we do we're screwed. Particularly being stuck in this thread, without the postings to look back through, and without the targets to speak to, there's not really much of anything to base a vote on. You're probably right NTN that debating a vote would be better for us in the long run, if we had anything to debate based on.

I don't have any reason to vote Zinto, but I'll switch to him just to at least make the vote interesting. Maybe one of these guys is a wolf and there's another wolf or two around to worry about it.

UNVOTE CRIMSON FOX
VOTE ZINTO

We have votes on Day One to investigate. We have two other candidates that were close, Zinto and CF, so we should look at them today. We are the only group that can vote for either Zinto or CF, because they are both in the other room. We are the ONLY group's vote which will help the cause easily. Vote analysis for today will be rough because of the split room. That means, voting off CF or Zinto is very important to us. It's not necessary, if we've got other info from reveals or clues or whatever, we can go there, but this seems to be the main idea today.

We don;t know if each thread will have someone voted out, or if just the oerall top candidate will. That means we should back either CF or Zinto with as much unaniminity as possible, and instead of doing that, you switch from one to the other? Really? I find that strategy totally flawed.

If both groups vote off their top vote, then who cares if the final vote is close here, but what if they don't? Then we head into Day 3 with very little vote information to go by, since only half of the group voted for one candidate and we have no new info on Day 1 votes, all because you made what I consider to be a very bad decision for the village at this point.
