Players pending: Newcastle, Qantaga, rhsetts2, Kenetickid.

Deadline for the Fourth Hour is Friday October 1st, at 10 a.m. Eastern Standard Time

Failure to submit an Order before deadline results in that player doing nothing that Hour.
If the Red Death fails to submit an Order he will infect a random uninfected player.

I had a failed mingle last hour. I am quite the failure at randomness as Ive accomplished basically nothing so far. Id go for the Amontillado but it appears that people are already doing that so failure would be virtually assured. Since the numbers of masked people is dwindling my chances of a successful mingle seems slight. sigh I think Ill go sit in a corner and consume mass quantities of wine.

At least you guys still have on your masks. Now that everyone knows who I am, no one wants to talk to me anymore.

So, uh, how much does that flask hold?

Cause if you don't feel like sharing, I'm going to search the pantry for the everyday wine. I might not get my hands on any Amontillado, but I can at least scare up a little Boone's Farm.

Vorret · Post by **Vorret** » Thu Sep 23, 2010 8:17 pm

I can share mine.

Chaosraven · Post by **Chaosraven** » Thu Sep 23, 2010 8:33 pm

With no coordination at all, this game is a disaster. As the number of unmasked dwindles, the odds of failed activity rises. It will do us little good to unmask 11 nobles if (a) F does not mingle twice with rd, or (b) M is unable to mingle with F after someone who has given F wine mingles with M or M mingles twice with F. All that nets us is a final unmasking of RD with everyone dying. Or the twelfth umasking (or thirteenth) with our two avenues of escape killed. The unmasking of nobles has been good to keep us from accidently exposing RD and possibly losing quickly, but how has our success rate been for the game?

According to two sources thus far (grund and remus) someone has wine. So I can have a friend. What can be done to get a few more?

Well... if we both try, then M should block one of us and one of us should get through, right? Unless someone else decides to Sneak without sharing.
Why would M bother?
Who knows if either of us is telling the truth?
What is that on your necktie?
Nothing to see here, M. Move along. Move along.

Hi!

Lassr · Post by **Lassr** » Fri Sep 24, 2010 9:26 am

So, if we believe those two and I really see no reason not to, then us Nobles may be screwed unless we have a lottery to see who gets wine or visits F then M before F is unmasked (we cannot toast Chaosraven).

Those 2 reveals just caused a tremendous traffic jam.

Unagi · Post by **Unagi** » Fri Sep 24, 2010 9:36 am

Enormous Yawner

I, for one, will not be joining any game with Kenetickid in it for a good long while.
I don't think he even bothered to address the fact that he disappeared last game too, it'd go a long way to simply communicate an ounce of regret or something.

Unfortunately I had already tried to mingle with one of them before the announcements. I have a feeling I'll be blocked this hour.

-- Going back to our pre-game discussion, I've pulled out a few lines for folks to think about:

Lagom Lite, AKA The Evil Overlord wrote: You've understood the rules perfectly, and it will indeed be a tough nut to crack if the Nobles can't work as a team.

Lagom Lite, AKA The Evil Overlord wrote: And I think you are underestimating the Nobles - they are the only players who can organize themselves openly.

Lagom Lite, AKA The Evil Overlord wrote:Nobles are free to organize themselves in the open game thread.

-- We already know that Mr. F & Mr. M cannot both win. We're far enough into the game that a limited number of nobles can hope to make it. It only takes three players to block everyone else - one goes for wine every night, one visits Mr. F & one visits Mr. M. Given the information just give out by Grund & Chaos (assuming both are being completely honest - which would be unusual, but not unlikely at the present time

) we're at a point where we either find a way for some to survive, or we block each other for the rest of the game. Of course, it is still possible for Mr. F to find the Red Death and win.

-- Ideas, suggestions?

Chaosraven · Post by **Chaosraven** » Fri Sep 24, 2010 10:39 am

I'll remind him. I guess it really is up to the rest of you how to proceed. You need wine to get on my good side, but questions for lagom: what constitutes Known Identity: unmasked? Singlemingle? Inthread reveal? for as long as a wine bearer mingles with me, he will get on my good side and block M. If the winebearer decides to mingle with M, he can then mingle twice with me to allow them to win unless I have found and remingled RD first. It will require one loyal winebearer to continue to mingle with me in a blocking move to stop M.

Chaosraven · Post by **Chaosraven** » Fri Sep 24, 2010 10:44 am

Now how to get wine? Two should go, so M cannot stop them both, but knowing two are headed down, as M has pointed out, he needn't bother as they block each other. If M were inclined to go after meF (and I guess the extra Fs were too subtle, eh?) for his victory condition, he would not be blocking the sneak. So betraying me to M may give you better chance to get wine. For those who are not already in position to win...

Vorret · Post by **Vorret** » Fri Sep 24, 2010 11:11 am

I kinda need to meet F.

Remus West · Post by **Remus West** » Fri Sep 24, 2010 11:47 am

I'm getting block from visiting Chaosraven tonight. At least that means I'm likely to get more drink though.

7. Qantaga, a Noble of the Qantagi family
8. rshetts2

12. Unagi
13. Remus West

Deadline for the Fourth Toast is Saturday October 2nd, at 10 a.m. Eastern Standard Time.

Failure to reach a majority vote before deadline results in Toasting to a random masked player.

It should confirm my sneakiness of the first hour.

Remus West · Post by **Remus West** » Fri Sep 24, 2010 12:14 pm

I have to say that I am not really enjoying this. I have gotten absolutely nothing accomplished - been blocked each hour - and do not see that changing.

So, I'm letting you know right now that I will be going after Wine every hour until I get it. If you choose to also try Sneaking we will likely not get anywhere at all.
