Board 8 > YGO Master Duel Mafia Topic 6 - Link Monsters were a mistake Edition

(+) Yeah! (+)

That's just my luck. I take a moment to step away and that is the exact moment they find the first of the hackers. They were absolutely went to town on him too, its impressive how little of his corpse is left! I under-estimated how much duelists hated Very Fun Dragon.
Well the matter is settled, but the fight is not yet over! If you take one of theirs, they will take one right back. That is the only rule they heed. And the only way they could settle the score was by finding one specific person. Nobody knows what he even did wrong or why he upset the hackers so.. This guy was just looking for an adventure, to have some fun. But if you ask me, he was a champion in the truest sense. The selflessness he demonstrated when he stepped in for one duelist too injured to continue says it all. He gave his life so that the one he replaced could walk away from this all. Ironically he could not do the same with the deck he claimed, but there were other tricks in that bag.
Unfortunately this was the kind of guy who worked better in a team, and he was all alone this night. No tricks will save you when the most broken cards in the game keep you locked down.

PeaceFrog has died. He was

the Adventurers, TOWN ROOKIE BUSDRIVER.
You're going on an Adventure! And all your friends are coming along! The Illegal Knight, the Sacred Spirit Thesea, the Wandering Gryphon Rider, The Magicore Warrior!
Together you are a formidable force and nothing can stand in your way! Nothing... except your own fame. Because for some reason it seems like wherever you go your friends are just not wanted
You have visited many decks and seen many other warriors, dragons, machines, fairies and all kinds of duel monsters. But whenever you show up on their terrain, they only ask for you and the Gryphon Rider, nobody else.
But that's the way it is, the needs of the duelists exceed the needs of your background story. Your own deck matters not to them, just the bits and pieces they can insert into their own deck with minimum effort.
You are well traveled, and helpful. But you had to leave behind so much.
Once per night you can target two players, including yourself. Other actions (and cards) targeting those targets will be switched around, except Killing Actions.

BCT's and Lopens trap cards have been destroyed.
Chang's and Kirby's trap cards remain. HB has also set a trap card.

Hb is still Alive with the Role Blocker dead whaaa?

And I think what may have happen scum probably truly thought I was Day Cop and Ben claimed his true action and tried to role block me and Not HB. Meaning BCT and one of Chang and Lopen are confirmed scum if I am correct.

If BCT is not scum then they wouldn't have believed I am day cop

Who took out my trap card? Anyone gonna take ownership of that?

I am now a bit bewildered. Ben was RB, and yet HB got a scan off on him... and HB is still alive. Scum did a terrible job of getting HB lynched. Was all this theatre? Was all this a put-up job to get us to trust HB, since scum felt like Ben was a surefire lynch D3 anyway?

Lopen is clearly scum, but there's also the possibility that HB was in on this, and Ben was a sacrificial lamb. But, with the RB dead... HB, may I ask who you scanned, and what the result was?

How can you "confirm" someone who's town as scum?

##Vote: Sultan

The interesting thing being that Ben may really not have lied about being busdriven around

Lopen, Sultan, and Poppy

OR

Lopen, HB, and Abacus

Lopen is the common denominator, so
##unvote
##vote: Lopen

I am convinced Poppy is scum, with them only posting once yesterday - in defense of Ben.

Hm

I was thinking Peaf was town RB not bus but that makes sense too.

Want to exsplain why HB wasn't blocked?

I mean hb being alive now is baffling

Unless HB is scum and threw us a scum Buddy. But he has still be uncountered to this point

##Vote: Poppy
Lopen gets another day to plead his case, but I scanned Poppy scum.

So we need mass before we do anything today I think. We have precious few aces left on the table

Definitely makes sense that scum figured out that Peaf was bus and couldn't risk killing hb today.

Yeah, and Sultan just slipped, so I think it's Lopen/Sultan/Poppy, and they want us to distrust everything HB is saying, which is why he's still alive.

Oh. Poppy's scum, HB says? Okay.

How would I know this? I'm town, I got no idea what scum is thinking!

Ben was likely not telling a complete lie - his action probably was bus driven, he just lied about who he was targeting. Scum likely assumed that the bus driver would be protecting me.

is sultan not reading the flip whatsoever a town tell?

BlueCrystalTear posted...

I was looking for any theories

Sounds good to me. I guess we don't need mass yet.

I'm thinking Poppy X BCT X Sultan here but if one is wrong it's probably Sultan.

changmas posted...

So you think Ben was actually bus driven okay that would make sense

Also thinking it's intentional since they left him alive still

So what was your trap BCT

Lopen posted...

I'm thinking Poppy X BCT X Sultan here but if one is wrong it's probably Sultan.

Do you think that BCT and Sultan would be willing to bus each other for basically the entire game at this point?

I guess you could in theory have some tracker or watcher fears I suppose

Lopen posted...

Definitely makes sense that scum figured out that Peaf was bus and couldn't risk killing hb today.

This is a HUGE stretch. This makes no sense to me. And Peaf's text says killing actions can't be driven, so why would that matter? HB is a far greater threat.

changmas posted...

Sultan is probably scum, seeing as his first conclusion was that I am "confirmed" scum when that makes ZERO sense. If you guys wanna hand the game to scum, go ahead. If I get lynched, Sultan is scum MVP even if he's town.

I think Poppy/Lopen/Sultan makes the most sense right now. Sultan refusing to claim yesterday, then later saying he was vanilla was not a good look.

TheSultanOfSlam posted...

I was looking for any theories

It's probably something I've already said, like them wanting us to trust HB. And if HB isn't the cop, why hasn't anyone counter-claimed him?

Hbthebattle posted...

I have this weird feeling BCT is godfather and Sultan is Usurper here.

Neither have played townlike at all. BCT is practically begging to be scanned meanwhile. And Sultan only makes sense if he had some sort of info on BCT

Lopen posted...

So what was your trap BCT

What was yours? Please volunteer that information before I do, since I don't quite trust you.

Scum doesn't know Peaf's mechanics only that their roleblock got redirected

There's that, and they could be searching for town powers as well.

I already said what my trap was yesterday.

Crossout designator + pot of greed.

It's actually not - Peaf slipped up a lot in his role yesterday. He mentioned knowing that Ben was blocker well in advance of the flip, and indicated he had problems with it before the "if you swapped Han and Kirby, wouldn't the shot have to be aimed at kirby" thought was brought up.

Lopen posted...

Sultan has no info on me since I'm town. And sure, HB can scan me. I'd appreciate being towncleared.

Isn't everyone here, save for Poppy, who's seldom here?

Lopen posted...

I think you just claimed scum.

Peaf's mechanics suddenly became irrelevant because the roleblocker died. Easy enough to just have the least suspected member of scum do the kill on HB, then, because now scum is reeling if HB is indeed the cop. Which, if he isn't, why the hell has nobody countered him? That would take quite the explanation for me to believe it.

I missed that. Mine was the same.

To be more in-depth, maybe scum is worried that there is someone watching HB, like Sultan said.

Why

Do you think there is a day cop in the game?

Only Peaf would know that Peaf's abilities would be less effective with the RB being dead. Scum had no reason to think that night kills couldn't be redirected.

So you claim someone cast pot of greed on you?

changmas posted...

I'm going to explain to you as best I can

Trying to mislynch hb only works if Peaf and I are both town.

The idea that I as scum would try to leave roleblocked hb on board to force a mislynch is ridiculous because I was one of the only people doubting him. You NEED me to be one of the dumb town votes for that mislynch to be plausible.

I think Peaf knew as much too and was just trying to make me realize hb was town.

Hbthebattle posted...

And then we must ask: How did he know that Ben was blocker? His role indicates nothing of knowing roles. He could've just been a rolecop, and that's less of a threat.

Lopen posted...

Why

Do you think there is a day cop in the game?

To bait scum into wasting gems like they did N1. Which they didn't seem to have done as I got no notification that my Pot of Greed was spent. And it did waste 200 scum gems so that's helpful to town. I do think it was scum who destroyed my trap since nobody in town is admitting it.

changmas posted...

That's why I pressed. He claimed scum.

Hbthebattle posted...

No one did. Someone used lightning storm on my trap. I'm just saying that's what the trap was.

Scum doesn't care about the pot of greed unless they think a day cop is in the game. Do you think they think a day cop is in the game?

Because he probably targeted me with one end of his bus driving, and when I wasn't blocked made a guess about Ben's movement.

I'd be OK with this. I think most of the plausible trap selections are scum oriented so it might reveal some info

The only reason nobody doubts him is that he wasn't counter-claimed.

Will anyone own up to doing that? If you're town and you destroyed a scum trap, please admit it.

Lopen posted...

At this point? No. But I set the trap N2. At that point, there was still a little doubt. There's a reason I'm not tempted to do it again, but hey, I did attract scum into using 200 gems they didn't need to spend.

You believed Hb's claim though did you not?

I think it's both Kirby and Poppy.

Regardless, I'm a bit busy tonight and probably won't be around much until late tonight. If we could at least make this a 24 hour day so we have time to sort out a mass claim / finance report / whatever before ending the day that would help me.

I should be around-ish for nearly all of tomorrow like 12pm EST - 7pm though

yeah I would also like to say
don't end the day without me giving the OK

Also it's funny he says "I" when answering a question about "scum"

Perspective slip !!!

also fwiw a finance report requires me to claim, for reasons that will become clear. I don't mind doing so if that's the route we go, even if I'm the only one claiming though. But I seriously doubt it would impact anyone else's claim
