GIR
As an annoying robot built with plenty of flaws, your main goal is rather unknown. You are built to serve, but you are built in such poor fashion as to do a shoddy job of it. But, luckily, you are built with destructive weapons and you're a robot. So doom da-doom-doom doom.
(Day) Assist [target] [player]: You can hinder a player by giving them fake information about another player.
(Night) Annoy [target]: You stop a player from being able to not only hear but go anywhere for the Night.
(Auto) What's The G Stand For?: Your actions have a 50% chance to do something else entirely.
(1-Use) Disguise: You dress up in a dog suit and will remain that way for 2 phases afterward (2 Days or 2 Nights, depending when it is used.) This will confuse anyone wanting your role name or any other part (You will be look town), including on death. This action cannot fail.
(X-Action) Scream: You emit a peircing scream for no reason whatsoever. This action may be used with another action.
Rorschach
Crazy, masked vigilante, out to make a mark on the world. With a grappling hook.
(Night) Kill [target]: You can render a person incapable of living with your incredible strength.
(Night) Confuse [target]: You can psyche out a player with a psychiatrist-like recanting of what they REALLY want. The player will target a random person.
(Day) Grappling Hook [target]: If a player leaves the scene, you may follow them and bring them back... if they're alive.
(Auto) Illegal: Masked vigilantes are bad. Killing innocent people is worse. Both at once is the worst. Your chance to kill someone is 1 / (# of Town you've killed + 2)
Robert Fulton
Inventor and engineer, you are. You developed the steamboat. Props, yo. Congratulations on using the steam engine and putting it on a boat.
(Night) Upgrade [target]: You may upgrade a random ability of a player.
(Day) Investigate [target]: You may investigate a dead player to build a device based on their role. It is given to a random player, including you.
(Auto) Unsuccessful Experiments: You have a certain percent to die after using your first ability that increases each time you use an ability.
(Auto) Go Down With The Sub: You can send one last message to the board after you die.
Anglerfish
If fish can dream, they have nightmares of you, luring them from their safe homes and devouring them. You are very distracting and ridiculously scary, which will hopefully lead to your success in the mafia.
(Day) Crunch [target]: You can crunch up the bones of a dead player you've Devoured to make the body impossible to identify and removing them from your stomach. However, people will hear a crunching noise coming from your direction.
(Night, Mafiakill) Devour [target]: Eats and removes the body of the player you kill, so that the player's identity will not be revealed until you die. As well, players may not target those dead players. You are told what role the player you killed was.
(Auto) Lure: If a player targets you, they may not be roleblocked or redirected.
Ra, God of Sun
You control Night and Day. Well, you control the sun, which controls Night and Day, so kinda in an indirect way.
(1-Use) Solar Reset: The Mandjet makes a double shift, skipping the next Night Phase.
(1-Use) Solar Skip: The Mesektet comes early, dragging the sun back before it can show its face. The next Day Phase is skipped.
(1-Use) Resurrection: You can resurrect a dead player once you have used both of your Solar powers.
Old Spice Guy
"The man that this man smells like."
(Night) Odorize [target]: You can attach a scent to a player and find who he targeted last Night.
(Auto) Deordorized: You are untrackable because of how good you smell like.
(Night, 1-Use) Old Spice Man: You can see who smells like you after the Night. Surely, these people acted on you or someone that acted on someone that smells like you (from actioning you or someone that smells like you.)
TVTrope: Chest Burster
BLARGH! You're not even a real role, since you're not really a physical concept, but an idea OF a concept created from an event.
(Day) CHEST BURST!: You can burst from all the people's chests that you have currently impregnated, killing them. This ability activates on death as well.
(Night) Plant Seed [target]: You... uh... yeah.
(Auto) Inconceivable: Since you are not real, any part of your role is impossible to imagine and cannot be revealed except on death.
(Auto) Everyone's Dead: You win as long as no one else is alive. Your living status is unnecessary.
Erik
You are the Phantom of the Opera, hiding away in an Opera House with a mask to disguise your face. You have a multitude of skills, but without your mask, you will almost certainly be killed. Your architectual knowledge will be necessary.
(Night) Hide: Having made your current surroundings, you can move in and out of secret passages that no one else knows.
(Night) Kidnap [target]: You may remove a player from the game, hiding them away in a secret location. You may release them at any time. You cannot kidnap more than one person at a time. This player may action you at any time, even if you are Hiding. The player will not be told who or what has captured them.
(Auto) Mask Removal: If your mask is removed, the player that removed your mask can reveal it to the Thread, showing your alignment to everyone. However, your mask can only be removed by being able to reach you while you are hiding.
(1-Use) Phantom of the Opera: You show everyone how truly beautiful you are. Everyone will be told you are town. If your mask has been removed, this action will fail.
Antoine Dodson
Umm... You're not sure why you're here right now instead of hiding your children, wife, family, town, dog, toys, or car.
(Night) Hide Other [target]: You hide the person from harm, making them unable to act or be acted on.
(Auto) They Rapin' E'erybody!: If someone visits you in the Night, you will assume that person is trying to get you, causing you to stop your action. You will quickly identify them, though.
(1-Use) Chase Down [target]: You can choose one of the people that actioned you and learn what team they're on.
Baby Cuddles
You are part of the Unicorn cult. You are blue with pink hair. You have no powers.
Ah, come on guys! Four sign-ups and only two roles!
Woah, Pandar changed his avatar. I don't think that has happened since I joined.
Joker, is the white background on your guy new? I thought it was transparent.
I find the fact that this has only seven players in thus far slightly incredible.I don't think I'll have time for more than 1 game.
Spoiler Spec, please.No.
I can start with one more person if I have to.
Could I get IN, I'm new but I've got a lot of spirit... Like... Rudy (not my role).
Also, just PM the roles to you, or email 'em?
So it stagnates for a week, you mention it in the trope mafia thread, and you've got six players in seven hours.
Messed up, man.

You are an example, to show how the actions are set up.
(Day) Day Ability [target]: You can use this ability during the Day Phase on the target.

15 people so 3 scum right? Zai and Lonewolf right now seems pretty nice for now.
Stop being a passive moron and vote me if it's so scummy then.
Only doing things when people tell you to is being even worse of a pacifist, I hope you become more aggressive soon or you're going to get yourself lynched.

I'm not bandwagoning, I'm casting a vote for a suspicious person.
I'm also suspicious of Org. We don't need an Orgscum, especially in a BYOR.Now take a look at what this followed:
Unvote
Vote Org.
Is it scum Org time?
Org, are you OMGUSing Zai? I don't see a question for him, from you or anyone else, so it can't really be a pressure vote. What is your vote trying to accomplish?
hey gaiz, org is scum lol. we dun need org as scum especially in a byorSo you're not giving any evidence of his scummitude, you just say "hey we don't need Org to be scum in this game." So just the possibility of Org being scum (which, lest you forget, it is possible for EVERYONE to be scum) is enough to lynch him without any real reason? I don't buy that you're that stupid.
I guess I might as well come out with it, I voted Org because I wanted to check for tells from others. You called me out quickly, so it didn't work as well as I had hoped for.Yeah, yeah, sure you did. Because bandwagoning will totally get reliable scumtells from other people. All it does is make yourself look scummier, scumface.
toaster i m goin 2 ask about myself rather than u or any1 else bcuz i want more opinyuns aboot hao badly i m failing mi scum teamYeah, yeah, asking questions about yourself will TOTALLY get a tell from him. (That's sarcasm by the way) Asking questions like that will not get scumtells from him. You're obviously just asking for opinions about how badly you're failing your scum team. What makes this particularly egregious is that you had just lied that you did something to check for tells, and then you go and do this.
UnvoteThat's an equally good reason.
TheBroodyMoods, I... I... I can't stand your avatar face.

I don't want to be lynched I want to be night-killed. Otherwise there's no point because it has to be scum that kill me. Not some majority vote.That doesn't answer my question.
I'm not going to do nothing while having this request, it's a request, that's it. I can't make decisions for other people, only convince them.This does, except you seem to just be interjecting snide comments here and there. It's better than nothing, certainly, but pointing things out now and then isn't really the same as actual scum hunting, especially since the comments you're pointing to are from other people's discussions.
Jegus. It is a reaction vote.Then why did you leave it on after you got his reaction, then take it off when I mentioned it but before he had any further reaction to it?
Unvote Vector'Cool way to get two players to call each other scum. Makes it look like you're contributing, too.

You (apparently) random voted Broody, with a non-reason. He's posted since then, and you have as well, but you neither removed your vote nor actually asked him anything. Do you think Broody is scummy? If so, why? If not, why are you still voting him?

i was not really , in fact, simply reaffirming that i find is avatar displeasing. But really i don't know who it is, so it's a bit distressing. If you or him could help me and give em the reference i'd be happy.
As for the vote, right now it's more observation than anything.On my opinion Toony is sketchy and all but i'll cast a final vote when i'll be satisfied with what i see. Right now its only against the face ( and also if it's your real face Broody i'm deeply sorry :()
Well now. Unvote OrgYou don't have to vote somebody to ask them a question, so why are you, Ottofar? Do you have an actual reason for voting S117? Why'd you unvote Org?
Vote Spartan, how many games have you played?
STOP MAKEN ME LOOK LIEK IDIUT!!!!! i dun need help!That's how I do things, scumbucket. Get used to it.
And bandwagoning may not have done wonders for my reputability, but I stand by my reasoning.And what reasoning would that be, O' Great Mafioso? Insane Troll Logic?
I appear to be digging my own grave, so I'll just keep scumhunting while I can still help the town.There's no scumhunting to your voting. You're just randomly switching votes and asking questions. What town wants to do is break scum. You aren't doing that.
UnvoteThat's a good thing though, why would you vote somebody for doing that.
I'm getting back to you Zai, you are being pretty agressive. As in flinging accusation left and right, and being bossy.

I can't decide which of TheBroodyMoods and Spartan 117 is more scummy.

The best part, of course, is that it implies you have opinions without needing to mention them. Perhaps some hint as to why you think either is scummy could help with their explanation of why they're not?
I'm getting back to you Zai, you are being pretty agressive. As in flinging accusation left and right, and being bossy.What TM said. How is being aggressive a bad thing for town? It's what you're supposed to do.
Also, thank you, haven't seen the movie, and i hate being in the dark for these kind of things.
Because normally scum tend to try to take control of the crowd not to get accused of scumbaggery, to divert suspicion elsewhere.
It could be compared to when you learn that your local anti-gay campaigner idiot is also a male prostite.
If it is then is it not the best disguise ?My god, worse WIFOM ever.
Toony[/b] in all seriousness, whose your scum team, who's dying tonight?I don't have a scum team, being town.
Because normally town should try to take advantage of the mistakes they see scum make, to prove to the rest of the town that those people are scum.Yeah, you're right! How new are you to the game of Mafia anyway, O Secondary Mafioso?
If it is then is it not the best disguise ?...So you're saying that because I'm exhibiting a trait of good town, I'm scum? ...Wooooooooow. Anyway, you'll need more evidence to back up the claim I'm scum. CAN YOU DO IT?

It's a fun way of reaction gathering; for instance, I get to see that TheBroodyMoodsneeds to step out of the car and press this to his foreheaddisregarded my vote, pointing out rightly that I stated no real reason of being suspicious, and moved on.
On the other hand, Spartan 117 ignored it completely, never responded to it, and continued, er.

You're not really defending yourself, nor really scum hunting. You asking other people to answer questions for you (out sourcing your own defense, if you will). Though your Jokerman vote showed improvement.Spoiler: Off-Topic: BroodyMoods Avatar (click to show/hide)"I can't call it for you... it wouldn't be fair."
Hah, fair enough. Mostly meant that even if it is a classic townie move, it doesnt exonerate him from anything.True 'nough, but, scum, you forget that was your whole argument against me.
right now i havent heard much opinions from him directly.If you're talking about me, that better be joking, depending on what you mean by "opinions."
If it is then is it not the best disguise ?...So you're saying that because I'm exhibiting a trait of good town, I'm scum? ...Wooooooooow. Anyway, you'll need more evidence to back up the claim I'm scum. CAN YOU DO IT?
You still are jumpy and agressive.Aggressive, yes. Explain what you mean by jumpy, because I don't think you mean what we typically mean by "jumpy" around here.
You don't give argument you just throw accusation. If you want to find the scums, at least try to do it constructively.You best be joking. Have you even been reading my posts, and possibly even comparing them to those of, say, S117? Because this makes it sound like you really haven't been.
Nice word soup.
Spartan117, do you believe the Chigurgh-avy guy to be scum?
Nice word soup.
Spartan117, do you believe the Chigurgh-avy guy to be scum?
Not at the moment, no.
By jumpy I mean quick to throw accusations or rebuttals if I try to say anything about you.I assume you don't mean to connect the two? Anyway, rebuttals would be because I have been having trouble sleeping and was using arguing with you about myself as something to occupy time.
Well now. Unvote OrgYou don't have to vote somebody to ask them a question, so why are you, Ottofar? Do you have an actual reason for voting S117? Why'd you unvote Org?
Vote Spartan, how many games have you played?
Because he could very well be. As I said, I was prodding him for tells.Tells do not just magically appear.
See my statement to Pandarsenic. I was told to prove scumness, so I prodded for a tell.

Zai, Lonewolf, and I'm adding MysteriousBluePuppet to that list now. That would make the 3 scum team, I hope Zai tries to night kill me.ToonyMan, why do you think those are our scum? You've mentioned reasons for Zai, though not particularly precise ones, but I don't remember you saying anything about Lonewolf other than that he "seemed nice right now" (as a scumpick), and I don't think you've explicitly mentioned anything wrong with MysteriousBluePuppet.
Still looking. Quite frankly it's hard to make a informed guess on the first day. Keeping on checking, or at least i will once i get some sleep.MysteriousBluePuppet, if there's not much to observe, why aren't you asking more questions to MAKE something to observe? Waiting and watching isn't helpful.
Zai, why do you feel the need to make people's quotes sound dumber? Are their actual words not scummy enough on their own?It's a habit of mine I use to aid in angering the people being quoted. Because people are typically less cautious about what they say when they're angry. It sometimes also serves to show what I think of what they say without pointing it out in extra words. There's a reason quotes (done properly), when clicked, lead you to the post being quoted. ;)

You're slipping up again Zai.More like failure to comprehend the joke.
Vector, you've done nothing but call me passive, answer an RV question, and claim you'll be back later. Given that they day ends tomorrow, who's being passive now?
IronyOwl, why have you shown up withLet that nervousness settle in, you're going to need it when the noose hangs your neck.Nooses can't hang people's necks, they can just be used to. Roleclaiming already?
as your sole contribution? Nothing to say about the current situation? No vote?
That's passiveness in a box, doodabuddy.
You don't joke in a freakin mafia game, it's like sarcasm it makes misinterpretation even more harder to avoid.You're slipping up again Zai.More like failure to comprehend the joke.

Zai: Originally called Spartan out for votehopping, has continued to push, has been active. Question: What makes you think that Spartan is noobscum as opposed to noobtown?Because no one is that stupid as to what is townish and what is scummy.
Sorry guys, my Internet broke. I do need a replacement. I hope I can get it fixed soon.I actually found one.
Hello Zathras, how are you today ?
And above all, Vector. I don't buy her "I'm busy" story. I've read a fair number of old games, and she always manages to post at least once every 24hrs when town, even if life's a bitch, but will vanish for days until challenged when she's scum.
Hey Vector, would you prefer Toonyman or Eduren as scum partner? why?

Hey Vector, would you prefer Toonyman or Eduren as scum partner? why?
You're wrong--I've received a fair number of prods as town in my day. Lurking is unusual, yeah, but it actually does happen. Like today, when I'm feeling sick, and yesterday, which I spent blindingly angry. But anyway, I'm doing what I can to answer things as they come.
I don't know how laid back your previous mafia experiences were, but this place has become pretty cool about people blowing off the game for a day, even if that includes posting elsewhere.And above all, Vector.

Yeah.... No. That story would fly, if you hadn't been active, and posting dozens of times (http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?action=profile;area=showposts;u=15916) in the last day or two, while leaving this game entirely untouched. I don't buy it.
Vector, ma'am, you are scum.

If you're voting her for lurking there are plenty of lurkier people to choose from.
If you're voting her for meta reasons, then I suggest you at least play a full game with people before you try to make those evaluations of them.

You fucking moron. Who in the hell do you think you are, asshat? We're in the middle of a heatwave (it's 105 F), I've been violently arguing with my mom for two days straight, I'm under heavy fire in a game elsewhere, and I haven't spoken to anyone outside my immediate family for something like three weeks (just the beginning of a 5-month period of such)--so screw me if I feel like sitting around instead of combing through pages of you bastards' posts for hours when my head is swimming. Screw me if I deem something else more important, like reading comics or socializing with people online.Jegus, RAEG VECTOR IS RAEG.
Yes! I'm lurking, and posting elsewhere. Yes! I really shouldn't--but who gives a flying shit on a tricycle? Fuck off and leave me in peace before I give you something to cry about. Ask me questions and I'll try to answer them, but seriously, don't be a shithead.

I should have probably been calmer and said something like this. Sorry for losing my temper.
Fair points both. I do have lurkier people on my sights (you), and I am voting her primarily for meta reasons in our first common game, but I think the evidence supports it for now. It is also useful to see who jumps onto her defense. Are you hurt that she chose Toonyman over you as scum partner? Or do you think it was just a smokescreen to shield you?I totally understand her choice of Toonyman. He is incredibly adept at active-lurking and can generally get away with a lot.
And what do you mean about a smokescreen? If you're implying that we both could be scum then please come out and say it
What do you think of Spartan?
On other things, what is your read of Toonyman's request of being night killed?
I think that what he is essentially doing is WIFOM. There's no way of actually determining his intentions, and if he is being sincere, he knows that there is no way that scum will follow his advice. Its not helpful to town, and frankly I don't like it.And what do you mean about a smokescreen? If you're implying that we both could be scum then please come out and say itOn other things, what is your read of Toonyman's request of being night killed?
Look at iPick and NSBM. You want to know who I am? There you have it. You can also look at the end of BMIX, if you want. That's a brutally honest picture.I did, which is why I arrogantly feel that I know your meta enough to vote you for it. I'm still reading through BMIX -- wonderful flavour, that; thanks for finishing it. I also read Rysh(?)'s semi-bastard, and your extensive scum chat there. That was quite a game, with some common elements with what has transpired today.
On other things, what is your read of Toonyman's request of being night killed?
If you mean me, then I don't have a bloody clue. I've been turning it over in my head for days, and I still can't figure out what the purpose is. Scum? Don't think so. He's not playing his scum game, nowhere near it. He's not playing his jester game, either, and I don't think this looks like Toony as a survivor...
So, I think he's a townie with some sort of weird power. Maybe he needs to survive n days, maybe he actually does want to be night-killed. I don't know. His statement about how the town will have no troubles after the scum kills him sounds a bit like he doesn't know scum would be watching, or that he's slipping and his intents are darker than I'm suspecting.
Lame rhetorical question is lame and rhetorical.I don't know how laid back your previous mafia experiences were, but this place has become pretty cool about people blowing off the game for a day, even if that includes posting elsewhere.Are you hurt that she chose Toonyman over you as scum partner?

But I will not harass you anymore today Vector. I do hope you feel better tomorrow.If you are meaning to unvote here, you just say "Unvote". Or if you want to be nice to the mod, you can say "Unvote Vector".
@Eduren:It's WIFOM because it confuses anybody trying to read your alignment. It is along the lines of "Would scum do this?" and the answer fluctuates between "No, its draws too much attention" and "Yes, he's taking a refuge in audacity".
How is it WIFOM to you? I would think only somebody who can night kill would think it's WIFOM.
"Yes, he's taking a refuge in audacity".He's obviously doing this or is a Jester. There is no alternative.

Hi Zai. A question for you -- if you were scum, would you use your night kill on toonyman? If not, who would be your preferred target as of now?

By the way, way to punch vector in the snout to establishdominancescumhunting.
Been out and about for the most part. Unvote Spartan, though I'm still keeping an eye on you.Lurking isn't the main reason that I am voting you. Far from it. I'm voting you for being a scummy asshat. (I wrote that entire post before I saw IronyOwl's btw)
Eduren, why are you coming after me for lurking - not only that, but you do so by using the argument right above yours (http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=63487.msg1510896#msg1510896), which, as you say, is one of my faults. In addition, you say yourself (http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=63487.msg1511277#msg1511277) that lurking isn't even a big deal.
As a further point, I'd like to ask why you're covering for Vector and ignoring the lurking from others such as Pandar. To answer your question, I don't have any scumbuddies because I'm Town.I was informing the new player how things are done around here. He seemed be unfamiliar with our ways.
And while I'm here, I'll ask IronyOwl: do you see Eduren's lurking as a scumtell? would you vote in favour of lynching Spartan if the end of day comes and yours is the deciding vote?
- Toonyman. Interesting move asking to be night killed. He has, however, used it as a tool to avoid doing anything useful, which is bad for town.
Now for your suspicions, if the mafia kill me town should have no problems for the rest of the game. I'm not some jester, jesters want to be lynched.
I'd probably vote for Spartan if it came down to it. The issue I have here is that we know for a fact he's screwing up- this isn't some subtle anti-town ploy, this is facepalmingly bad failure. Normally, scumtells are things so incompetently bad for town that they have to be malice- but here, we're talking about incompetent malice. Discerning malicious incompetence from normal incompetence can be tricky, and I'm not sure we've got him on anything scum would want to do in that manner.
That said, we simply don't have any better targets, and he's firmly in the No Big Loss pile anyway. It just feels more like housekeeping than scumlynching.
As to who's mafiakilled, I'd bet an experienced player. Pandarsenic, Toony, Zai, maybe Toaster or myself. It's hard to tell.
oh wow, o people, i guess it be better to dooze off for a bit,
Fudge is never bad, ounless you fudge something, then it's bad

You got on the Spartan bandwagon with no reasoning, and no intention of really scumhunting, and you have jumped off of it in the lamest way possible.

I feel like you're buddying me here. I'm not that experienced.
God damn it Toony. No less than three separate people have brought this up, and you respond to Zathras' question with "Don't worry about me not being useful, if this one thing happens my ROLE will do all the work!" I am FAR too sleepy to write up a full rant about you, but the notion that you are a jester is looking FANTASTIC. Do you have anything to say for yourself that doesn't involve how awesome it'll be if somebody nightkills you?I mentioning it enough so that everybody knows, everybody is a suspect you know. I'm not just going to sit hear and do nothing though, oh no, that's not Toony's style.
Don't be so modest, you can do stuff. Being modest will let you sneak around more too, which isn't good.As to who's mafiakilled, I'd bet an experienced player. Pandarsenic, Toony, Zai, maybe Toaster or myself. It's hard to tell.I feel like you're buddying me here. I'm not that experienced.
While you are here, let me ask you: what are your four top scum picks at the moment, and why? And if you were scum, who would you drop tonight?
TheBroodyMoods - I think I am in love with this man's incredibly chill playstyle. He reminds me of a slightly less spiky and audacious CK. Alignment? Er... working on it. Need to question him.
Requesting an Extension.
Jus to let you know Broody i've been eyeing Zai since some time, and he's the one that seem the scummier to me. I don't really care if toony is voting for him too, mostly since right now theres no real risk for Zai to be lynched. He could very well vote for a fellow scum to get some credibility, since really it looks like it's spartan that will bite the bullet. as for my content, right now i don't have a lot since i don't have a lot that i'm sure off.
Indeed, now that i'm back to my appartment, i'll answer
I still think that Zai is scum. Proof, i do not have, beign the first day, but of all the games of werewolves ( that's the scum in french) i played most of the time it's one of the agressive questionner that cause the trouble. Also, i dislike the way he dumb down the quotes of other, even if it is to make other respond and incriminate themselve. He's distorting what the others have said, and that cause more and more doubt.
I'd like to toss my vote at Ottofar, who really needs to show up in this game and tell us what he's up to with his bandwagoning.
UnvotecriptfeindZathras. So much for that RV.
However Zathras, I'll ask you the same RV question: If you had to pick two people here to be your scumbuddies, who would you choose? Who do you think does the best job as town here?
Yeah they should man.I'd like to toss my vote at Ottofar, who really needs to show up in this game and tell us what he's up to with his bandwagoning.
Yeah, why don't you? And hit him with your gut while you're at it. 8-P

Oh, that's easy. Vector, for one -- she plays a mean scum game (a point I will come back to later today), and probably pandarsenic -- he's cunning and ruthless when he wants to be.
The best town here? so far? not sure. Everyone is doing a little bit, rather that one or two players leading the hunt. If pressed I'd say probably Zai, or IronyOwl, or even (heh) Org! But no one clearly ahead yet. And I'd rather not paint targets for the scum to kill -- they should go after Toonyman instead. 8-)
Eduren. "Being a scummy asshat"? And what, pray tell, goes into being a scummy asshat? Let's see some evidence.The point is that voting Spartan was all you did. That kind of bandwagoning, with no contributions to the discussion is scummy.
Hardly an excuse since you're informed that there's been a post.
You have this belief that bandwagoning is, by definition, scummy, and you're [/i]wrong[/i]. If someone is being a total scumbucket (ie: votehopping, being jumpy, and playing in a really weird way) - as Spartan was - then it's only natural for people to want to vote them. As far as I'm concerned, Spartan is still scum; likely your scumbuddy. Thing is, he's already slipped up enough that I feel I can focus on more experienced scum like you.
Informing him of our ways? More like buddying up to Vector.

EXTEND GUYS. DO IT NOW.There's already been like 4 people request one.
Zathras - being an asshat. [...]and generally more... kind.Why, thank you. *blush*
Expect some grilling later, jerkabuddy.Bring it on, scumface.
Eduren - lurking a lot and then... jumped to my defense. I appreciate it, but I can take it from here =) Please concentrate your efforts on finding scum, so that I don't have to worry that you're just buddying.
On other things, what is your read of Toonyman's request of being night killed?I think that what he is essentially doing is WIFOM. There's no way of actually determining his intentions, and if he is being sincere, he knows that there is no way that scum will follow his advice. Its not helpful to town, and frankly I don't like it.
Annoying it may be, but as has been pointed out, it is most certainly not WIFOM, unless you are scum. Toony is not presenting townies with an ambiguous and dangerous choice; that only applies to scum. You seeing it as such is clear indication that you are pondering your night kill with his gambit in mind.Bull motherfucking shit.
That's quite a bit of assuming, it stretches the mind beyond believe Zai.Annoying it may be, but as has been pointed out, it is most certainly not WIFOM, unless you are scum.

"Hey guys. I'm useless, but I have a useful role only if scum kills me. Now I just need them to kill me. But don't worry, I'm ensuring that they won't by telling them to NK me while saying it's good for town if they do. Just don't lynch me."
It may not be WIFOM, but it sure as fuck comes off like he might be setting up an excuse for later, when he's not dead yet.
[PPE:] THEN WHY DON'T WE HAVE A GODDAMN EXTENSION YET THEN?
It is normal for Vector to post WOTs.
Meh.It is normal for Vector to post WOTs.
Walls of text, yes. Walls of invective, explosive vitriol? Do you recall? Would you say it's likelier for scum Vector, town Vector, or just I'm-tired-leave-me-alone Vector?
Here is the definition that I found for WIFOM.Annoying it may be, but as has been pointed out, it is most certainly not WIFOM, unless you are scum. Toony is not presenting townies with an ambiguous and dangerous choice; that only applies to scum. You seeing it as such is clear indication that you are pondering your night kill with his gambit in mind. Eduren, you sir, are also scum.On other things, what is your read of Toonyman's request of being night killed?I think that what he is essentially doing is WIFOM. There's no way of actually determining his intentions, and if he is being sincere, he knows that there is no way that scum will follow his advice. Its not helpful to town, and frankly I don't like it.
The term 'WIFOM' applies to when a person creates a reverse psychology argument that causes the reader to wonder if the arguer is trying to funnel their thinking to a specific conclusion, and then hoping to outguess the arguer. WIFOM begins to exist at the point that an argument causes a circular line of thinking within the reader.Like I stated before, the circular thinking is created when a person tries to determine his alignment.
It's WIFOM because it confuses anybody trying to read your alignment. It is along the lines of "Would scum do this?" and the answer fluctuates between "No, its draws too much attention" and "Yes, he's taking a refuge in audacity".
I'd probably vote for Spartan if it came down to it. The issue I have here is that we know for a fact he's screwing up- this isn't some subtle anti-town ploy, this is facepalmingly bad failure.

So you'd lynch him, but you don't think he's scum?

Since I'd like to hear people's opinons on this, I too would like a Day Extension.
You have a night-kill as well IronyOwl?
I already said early it's not WIFOM. Also, you didn't counter my claim. Just like Eduren.
I disagree. We need to figure out what he is, and that means examining his behavior. It's theoretically possible to completely ignore a substantial part of said behavior, but it's both distracting and potentially limiting. It's not "gee should I NK him" WIFOM, but it's certainly "is he scum taking RIA, a jester, NK-reciprocator, or...?" WIFOM. Admittedly, it wouldn't be such an issue if he was doing more elsewhere, but letting someone declare portions of their behavior "for scum only so you don't need to worry about it" is ridiculous.
It is true that I voted Vector for meta reasons, and I may not be qualified to do so. So, I would ask those who do know her meta, except Eduren and Vector, to review these points and give their opinion:
a) She lurked with impunity for the entire game until 10 minutes before I joined (after IronyOwl prodded her). In the first two hundred posts, she has two contributions, on August 21 & 22, both contentless. Then silence until challenged.
b) Then a new guy comes and votes her, shines a light on her, and she responds with two meaty paragraphs of powerful vitriol (http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=63487.msg1511291#msg1511291). I submit that this was an act; an attempt to scare away the newbie and redirect the new attention away from her and to either the newbie or the vitriol, not to her game so far.
- Have you seen her doing something like this, when playing as town?
- Would this be within her repertoire, when playing as scum?
- If this is within her possible scum game, why would she do it, unless I was onto something?
Walls of text, yes. Walls of invective, explosive vitriol? Do you recall? Would you say it's likelier for scum Vector, town Vector, or just I'm-tired-leave-me-alone Vector?
I have a bad temper. You triggered it.
I feel that some of my meta may be outdated.
Within that outdated body of meta: I have done similar things as both scum and town.
I have never done anything precisely like this before, mostly because I was trying really hard to be a nice cream cupcake when I was dating.
It turned out that I am nothing like a cream cupcake, and I should never have tried.
I am sorry for what I did.
I still have a bad temper, a perfectionistic streak, and an extremely curious mind.... and a mean scum game. Those things don't go away ("Temper, genius and shape, you take to the tomb", they say were I come from), so don't blame a guy for always trying to read what you say from both sides, upside down, and reflected in a mirror.
Ugh, man. I hope you're not too offended. That was bad of me.

PS Org: In either case, why?Callin out some scumness in him.
Oh dear. Eight pages in which I haven't posted. On monday nothing interesting had happened to post about, and on tuesday, I got home late, and posted a quick thing, but the electricity went down, taking the internet with it. I'll do a longer post tomorrow, assuming I have time.What the fuck man. You are failing scum so hard I almost want to change my vote from Scum 117 to you.
Unvote
Vote Eduren, you were defending Vector, and I'd like to see your alignment. Or Vector's.
Also, mafia can't night kill themselves dude.Can't or wouldn't? /offtopicrulesquestion
Anyone voting Spartan is suspicious to me at the moment. I'd like a clear, concise explanation of the reasons for the bandwagon, and Pandar or Vector seem like the ones who would give one.I thought I posted yesterday...Lonewolf, this is your latest post and you don't have much to say otherwise. Don't you have any other suspicions or questions to ask?

Anyone voting Spartan is suspicious to me at the moment. I'd like a clear, concise explanation of the reasons for the bandwagonI assume you don't mean to include me, as I didn't bandwagon. I also assume you mean to include Ottofar, as he only just jumped off that wagon and onto another.
Zai jumped on Spartan at the beginning of the game.
Spartan spooked.
Spartan proceeded to votehop like "a dog in a blender factory" (metaphor thanks to the ever-lovely Miss Vector).
Various players started chasing Spartan.
Spartan disappeared.
Some players were distracted by the Vector/Zathras battle. Eduren went to Vectoria's side, rain running down the steep angles of his chilled cheekbones, and said simply this oh wait you wanted the short version.
Eduren came under suspicion by a few folks.
Ottofar popped out and said "Imma kill Eduren! Bang!"
People started unvoting Spartan because he hadn't been stupid recently and Ottofar was being funktacular.
Can't.Also, mafia can't night kill themselves dude.Can't or wouldn't? /offtopicrulesquestion
Uh huh, you voted Spartan so that's under Lonewolf's list, so you did.Anyone voting Spartan is suspicious to me at the moment.

...which brings us to Eduren. Congratulations! You have just been promoted to top scum in my list. Is there anything you can say in your general defense, or do you have suggestions as to other places to which I can point my wrath? Apart from Jokerman, who do you think I should be looking at other than you?I think that you should take a good hard look at Ottofar, in addition to Jokerman. Like I said in my post earlier, he had similar behavior to Jokerman and has since proved that he loves to piggyback on any suspicion created among the town without scumhunting himself.
Guys, I think we need either a prod or a replace on Spartan. He apparently hasn't been online for 4 days.Woo. Another replacement needed...
You need to work on your grammar, boy. I have no clue what you're saying here. Even the French guy (Mysterious puppet of the color blue) I could at least understand!Uh huh, you voted Spartan so that's under Lonewolf's list, so you did.Anyone voting Spartan is suspicious to me at the moment.

well web. i can try to keep it up, but i will have trouble posting during the day on the weekdays. sorry about thatDude, one post a DAY is good. I mean, it's the bare minimum, but it's better than nothing *AHEM*SPARTAN*AHEM*.
well give me a few hours to get back on it, i'll give you my opinion.We only have about 4 and 1/4 hours left, so you might want to make it snappy.

Zai: I still have not got over your rephrasing\putting words in people mouth. Prod all you want, but it 's way too easy to use those to frame someone for something innocuous...You are so dumb. You are really dumb. For real. Now I'm framing people by editing quotes? How the fuck is that even possible? No one should be able to frame anybody considering everybody has the complete body of evidence (minus stuff from roles) at their perusal at any goddamn moment, and if you're too lazy to click on a link to find out what a person actually said and would rather take obviously edited quotes at face value, God help us all as to how you're going to evaluate who to vote for.
Stupidly aggressive Zai has a high chance of being scum, what's the big fucking deal dude? You're exaggerating yourself horribly.Care to use more explanation? That would be just great. I especially don't know what you mean by "exaggerating yourself horribly".

Unvote
Vote Eduren, you were defending Vector, and I'd like to see your alignment. Or Vector's.
You leave for days, only to return with more of the shit you've been pulling since the start: voting without reasons. If your net goes down, you damn well do not come in here and change your vote to a brand new bandwagon after you never explained your previous one. You still aren't giving reasons! You still haven't responded to any questions!
YOU JUST DON'T DO THAT
Ottofar is either scum or just not bright at all.
You spent three paragraphs explaining how stupid and wrong he is and acted like what you said is all that matters when what you're saying is wrong. Editing peoples quotes to fit your own needs and scum bias.Cool story man.
You have nothing to say and you know it.You spent three paragraphs explaining how stupid and wrong he is and acted like what you said is all that matters when what you're saying is wrong. Editing peoples quotes to fit your own needs and scum bias.Cool story man.
Fizzixed.You spent three paragraphs explaining how stupid and wrong he is and acted like what you said is all that matters when what you're saying is wrong. Editing peoples quotes to fit your own needs and scum bias.Cool story bro.
For starters, you need to respond to what people ask of you more, even if it's not stated as a sentence:Cool story man.You have nothing to say and you know it.
That was me requesting for you to explain what you meant with these words, particularly the "exaggerating yourself horribly" bit, not just adding on more stuff.Stupidly aggressive Zai has a high chance of being scum, what's the big fucking deal dude? You're exaggerating yourself horribly.Care to use more explanation? That would be just great. I especially don't know what you mean by "exaggerating yourself horribly".
You spent three paragraphs explaining how stupid and wrong he is and acted like what you said is all that matters when what you're saying is wrong. Editing peoples quotes to fit your own needs and scum bias.1) They aren't paragraphs. They could have fit as 1, but I split it up so it flowed better. 2) I wasn't saying he's stupid. The "you are dumb" bit at the beginning was referencing one of Antoine Dodson's lines; I wasn't actually saying Mbp's "dumb." I don't use that as an actual insult. 3) He is wrong. You cannot frame somebody in a game of forum Mafia unless town is stupid as all get out or the game is a (semi-)Bastard mod in which the Town is lied to by the host in some manner. 4) "[My] own needs" would be getting people to make mistakes. For many people, this is easiest by angering them. I use stupified quotes to facilitate this. I have no scum bias in this game.
@Zai:I just thought I had already explained enough in the post prior to that, especially compared to how you explain. You still haven't explained what you meant by me "exaggerating [myself] horribly." Why haven't you? Had to think of more bullshit later?
Why'd you respond first with nothing? Had to think of more scumtalk later?
I meant when you posted a lot that could be summed up quicker than you did, thus exaggerating what you're doing. Keep playing stupid scum.@Zai:I just thought I had already explained enough in the post prior to that, especially compared to how you explain.

Zai is probably town.
Suspicious of Org, Lonewolf, and IronyOwl.
Your analysis you made near the end of Day 1 lit up my gut.
Also holy hell don't have much experience playing day 2.
Org is being his scum self with his posts and the Spartan thing. Lonewolf looks like he's just playing along.
How do I test my gut besides doing what I just did? Want us to lynch you and see if I'm right?
Zai is probably town.Why? What caused this change of opinion?
Pandar made no action last night that targeted a player....You're partial-role-claiming already?
Yeah whatever.Zai is probably town.Why? What caused this change of opinion?Pandar made no action last night that targeted a player....You're partial-role-claiming already?
Zai is probably town.
Suspicious of Org, Lonewolf, and IronyOwl.
Why?
Pandarsenic, you've been somewhat lurky. Who do you suspect and why?
Jokerman-EXE, you've basically hushed up since your argument with Eduren. Do you still suspect him, and who else do you suspect?
Ottofar and Org, get in here and do something.
Day 1 conversation.Details. Also, why should it take three separate questions to get information that should have been included when you first spoke? While I'm at it, do you think Org is being useful?
Way to call me out for catching scum.You were something like the sixth vote on him, and said yourself you based this off the results of Zai's pressure. You did a good job of following your vote up with questions initially, but afterwards you pretty much just popped in now and then to make a comment. Why so keen to take credit, and why so defensive?
Eduren and IronyOwl, why were you two defending Spartan yesterday? You both voted me for identical reasons, and then the guy flips scum. In addition to Eduren defending/buddying Vector, I think you guys have some explaining to do.And do you remember what that reason was? You lurked, popped out to OMGUS bandwagon an easy target once he poked you, then went back to lurking. The fact that it was ultimately the correct decision doesn't mean it isn't suspicious behavior.
Also, TheBroodyMoods didn't take any action at all last night.
IronyOwl, as you can clearly see I was the third of 4 votes on SpartanYou're correct that I just sort of took Jokerman's estimate at face value, so you weren't the sixth vote. You are incorrect that you were the third of four votes; you were the fifth of five votes at the time. Ottofar jumped ship way later on, but you were nonetheless the last of five people to vote for Spartan. Who did you think was after you?
at no point mentioned Zai (though I may have used his reasoning without remembering it was his)
and with Ottofar and Eduren at 3 votes each at the same time, it is highly unlikely that anyone voting for Spartan was scum, except MAYBE Vector, but that's pure WIFOM and I will have none of it.According to the first votecount after your vote, between which I saw no changes in vote, there were zero votes on either. Which part of the game are you looking at? The very end, pages and pages after you had cast your vote and done little else? Are you trying to say, after voting him for vote-hopping, that scum would have simply vote-hopped off without consequence, and hence any previous behavior of yours is beyond reproach? That's pretty much the essence of bussing.
Therefore, I am forced to conclude you are attempting to paint me in a negative light for a combination of my general laziness leading to infrequent posting and skimming rather than reading of the thread (allowing you to later go OH WHYDJA IGNORE ME FOR THIS) in combination with my accuracy in determining your partner's identity.So you feel that you are both too lazy to read the thread and also just so damn good that I'm trying to point out the former to disable the latter? Lucky break for scum that such a talented player has such obvious but not detrimental weaknesses, isn't it!

Spartan 117 has been lynched!
Spartan 117 was GIR (mafia)!
You gather around the small robot that is Spartan. He's quirky, but he's too annoying to live. You all pull out powerful magnets and attempt to rip him apart, but he's made of a non-magnetic material and he has no visible circuitry to screw up. You beat him to death. Slowly.
That felt goooooood.
It is now Night.QuoteGIR

I'd probably vote for Spartan if it came down to it. The issue I have here is that we know for a fact he's screwing up- this isn't some subtle anti-town ploy, this is facepalmingly bad failure. Normally, scumtells are things so incompetently bad for town that they have to be malice- but here, we're talking about incompetent malice. Discerning malicious incompetence from normal incompetence can be tricky, and I'm not sure we've got him on anything scum would want to do in that manner.
That said, we simply don't have any better targets, and he's firmly in the No Big Loss pile anyway. It just feels more like housekeeping than scumlynching.
So you'd lynch him, but you don't think he's scum?
I told TBM and Spartan117 to prove each other to be scum.You said you "found scum." You were the last vote, so you clearly didn't find him as far as anyone else was concerned. I would assume you thought to ask him that in the first place because of his reactions earlier, which means you didn't really "find" him as far as you're concerned either- is this incorrect? What are you trying to say exactly?
TBM was like "No, that's stupid"
Spartan117 was like, "SURE, IF YOU STOP LOOKING AT ME."
Also, I'm basing all my statements about vote quantities based on:Except, that's not relevant to when you did it, unless you're trying to say that you voted scum and are therefore confirmed and unquestionable town. That seems to be the general argument you've been making earlier, so why are you saying that? Why can't you explain yourself on your own merits, without pointing to the end result and saying it's therefore irrelevant?
<<end of day tally>>
Yes, it was. Are you going somewhere with this? Why'd you include your question but not my response?I'd probably vote for Spartan if it came down to it.

Hey, wait, THIS WAS YOU
I'm not sure if I can explain in much more detail, it's like you got this ball. I don't have to explain what the ball is made of because you know it's a ball. Not going to go all made of such and such material you've got the answer right there and you just want to sound like you're actually doing something.Except, you haven't really explained anything but that there's a ball "over there." You've said "Org is scum because of his day one posts, go figure it out," and sort of implied the same about Lonewolf, but you haven't actually explained anything yourself. Sure, we could go re-read D1 and figure out why you think Org is scum and Lonewolf is buddyscum, but we could do that anyway- why bother bringing it up if you're not going to do anything with it?
Sorry, I had a busy day, and didn't get home until now. I'll try to do something useful tomorrow, when I'm not so tired....this doesn't explain all of Day 1. If you're going to do nothing for a game day and a half, you'd better have some damn good shit when you get back.
I'm starting to think we need some massive prodding and a reinstatement of the rank system, because seriously guys... this thing is dying due to inactives and folks who think they can sign up, flake, and leave.Nah. We just need that rule of "post at least once per real life day" back. No need for a rank system.

This is pathetic.Zathras is busy, but I'll just mass prod everybody.
TheBroodyMoods, Lonewolf, Zathras, and Eduren, get your asses in here.
For now, I'm wondering who Vector finds suspicious. You seem to have voted Ottofar at the beginning of the day to get him to talk, but I wonder if you are buying into his excuses. If you don't, then why aren't you ripping him a new one?
If it's not Ottofar you are suspicious of, then who?

Is that it? Also, what is this a reply to?
Also, I am curious about how easily Spartan was found out. From Scum point of view, depending on the players, at what point do you think they realized he was a lost cause? At what point yesterday do you think scum abandoned him? Because I mean for a good portion of the last day he wasn't even on the forum.
I'm directing this at more experienced players as a sort of strategy question. If you were playing scum, at what point would you have cut off the finger (spartan) to save the hand (ottofar and friends :P)?
Don't get your panties in a knot, ladies. It's Monday. The weekend's over. I'm still here.
I support the renewal of the ranking system.
Also, TheBroodyMoods didn't take any action at all last night.
Not to sound ungrateful, but what made you choose to target me with your scan action? Why not Eduren whom you actually voted for yesterday? Or Toony or any number of other folks playing? I am curious. I may have missed this, but why are you still suspicious of Eduren, as well? And your thoughts on Ottofar, what are they?
The only people I really trust to be town at this point are myself, ToonyMan, and Zai. My reads are clouded for the rest.If I might ask, how the hell is ToonyMan turning up town? He's practically refusing to speak.
Irony Owl and Pandarsenic - Are you fighting over niggling discrepancies in vote counts and ordering because half-remembered impressions were wrong or because they were wrong in such a way that your opponent is forwarding a scum agenda?The discrepancies over votes is relevant to his claim that he "found" scum, which he's attempting to use as a blanket defense instead of actually explaining himself. While it's suspicious regardless, trying to claim he's done more than he has is even more suspicious, so I'd like that resolved one way or the other.
The only people I really trust to be town at this point are myself, ToonyMan, and Zai. My reads are clouded for the rest.If I might ask, how the hell is ToonyMan turning up town? He's practically refusing to speak.
The metaphor I made up was for Org and IronyOwl. It looks like Org is voting Eduren and not me for some reason though and IronyOwl asked some questions so,You're still not responding to any questions, including the continuation of your own ball analogy.
It is relevant, that's what a metaphor is used for, making irrelevant things relevant.
Hardly anyone else comes out with clear cut suspicion lists.True, but they come out with actual reasons why someone seems scummy. You've said who you think is scum but not why except in the vaguest terms. You're also not doing anything to follow up those suspicions, so it seems like your basic gameplan is "declare scum, return to lurking," without asking or answering any real questions in between.
The part where I'm picking up reasons for your scuminess after catching you is normal for me.Wait what? When did you do either? You've repeatedly pointed to your vote on Spartan and repeatedly ignored questions. When did you out me as scum or point out my scumminess, beyond my pressuring you and not voting Spartan?
You are scum. Give up. You're desperately throwing some sort of bitchfit attacking everyone to try to get suspicion off of you.I'm throwing the bitchfit in a desperate attempt to get suspicion off? You've done nothing but scream and moan about how you helped lynch Spartan and I'm attacking you, therefore you're town and I'm not. Let's see your arguments for me being scum:
Stop it. There's a difference between "IronyOwl is being aggressive" and "IronyOwl is trying to look like he's being aggressive" and wintuition says you're falling on the wrong side of the PARABOLA OF RAGE this game.Your desperate attempts to get me off your back are noted, scum.
What would these unanswered questions be one that spurts fountains of text of anger?The ones we've been asking since the start of Day 2: Why you feel myself, Org, and Lonewolf I are scum, why you feel Zai isn't, and why you aren't doing anything to follow these suspicions up.
D:
I answered those man. You're clouding your brain with scum rage.
I'm starting to think we need some massive prodding and a reinstatement of the rank system, because seriously guys... this thing is dying due to inactives and folks who think they can sign up, flake, and leave.
And it's pissing me off.
So COME ON, folks. If you've got excuses, tell us what they are. If you're just sitting in the back having a lurky old time, get your asses out here and make some arguments! I may have been sidelining, but that's no good excuse. Be the change you want to see in the game, and let's get scum-hunting.
Who I suspect: IronyOwl
Why: Listed reasons, particularly explicit willingness to lynch someone he didn't think was scum. Who just so happened to be scum.
Any other questions?
I know. I was just popping in to respond to the "ignored" question.
Like I said in BYOT's thread, the lack of netbook-compatible distractions means I'll be stepping my game up for the next week ._.
Pandarsenic, you've been somewhat lurky. Who do you suspect and why?
Why is IronyOwl scum?
Why aren't you prodding him?
Your analysis you made near the end of Day 1 lit up my gut.Why do I have to prod you right now. I prod when I prod, you have been posting quite frequently.
Why is Org scum?
Why aren't you prodding him?
Org is being his scum self with his posts and the Spartan thing.I might ask for a prod, but not likely.
Why is Lonewolf I scum?
Why aren't you prodding him?
Lonewolf looks like he's just playing along.Do I have to prod him? I don't think so.
Why is Zai town?
Why is he no longer scum?
Day 1 conversation.I had quite I bit of back and forthing with him which I think I've done enough to determine his alignment.
Why won't you give actual answers?I am so. Why are you asking stupid/redundant questions?
Ah, well, I am willing to defend my townie-hood with my life and honor.What the hell does this mean?
IronyOwl, my Wintuition said Spartan was scum and was right; it also says you are scum, and I expect it's right here as well.Oh fuck off with that. It's not (w)intuition if 2 people had already stated it and explained it. (2 people being Joker and myself. Ottofar was in there too, but...Ottofar)
Ottofar, you have yet to provide a half decent excuse. "Hey guys I vote so and so."This made me sad.
"Oh sorry I was busy I unvote and vote that other guy."
"Busy again sorry for not posting for days. I unvote and vote that one guy. More tomorrow I promise."
"Oh sorry I had a busy day. I'll do something useful tomorrow."
WHAT THE FUCK MAN?
More tomorrow.
Oh fuck off with that. It's not (w)intuition if 2 people had already stated it and explained it. (2 people being Joker and myself. Ottofar was in there too, but...Ottofar)
YOU MEAN ORG?Ah, well, I am willing to defend my townie-hood with my life and honor.What the hell does this mean?IronyOwl, my Wintuition said Spartan was scum and was right; it also says you are scum, and I expect it's right here as well.Oh fuck off with that.

Also, nobody called me on the intentional irony in this post:Ottofar, you have yet to provide a half decent excuse. "Hey guys I vote so and so."This made me sad.
"Oh sorry I was busy I unvote and vote that other guy."
"Busy again sorry for not posting for days. I unvote and vote that one guy. More tomorrow I promise."
"Oh sorry I had a busy day. I'll do something useful tomorrow."
WHAT THE FUCK MAN?
More tomorrow.
YOU MEAN ORG?Sure, Org. You are included too now.
MysteriousBluePuppet. What's your game?Random vote random question shit.
Oh dear. Eight pages in which I haven't posted. On monday nothing interesting had happened to post about, and on tuesday, I got home late, and posted a quick thing, but the electricity went down, taking the internet with it. I'll do a longer post tomorrow, assuming I have time.Once again, no explanation of unvote, just voting for somebody because he defended somebody else. This also has the handy effect of getting his vote off of scum Spartan.
Unvote
Vote Eduren, you were defending Vector, and I'd like to see your alignment. Or Vector's.
Hmmm. I've never tried asking an enormous stream of asinine or obvious questions until someone lost patience. Fascinating strategy.

'Cause with this low of a content-to-words ratio, I have to be damn bored before I slog through this mess of bullshit.
Which, coincidentally, I now am, because everyone else is playing the games this netbook can't run. <_<;
scumlist
Are you trying to say, after voting him for vote-hopping, that scum would have simply vote-hopped off without consequence, and hence any previous behavior of yours is beyond reproach? Not like it can't be done. It took until pretty recently for someone to point out that that appears to be precisely what Ottofar did.
Yes, it was. Are you going somewhere with this? Why'd you include your question but not my response?
Hey, wait, THIS WAS YOU
Because the "I am willing to lynch someone whom I don't believe is scum" sentiment is what matters. That he was, in fact, scum, means that this lets you say you were fine with lynching him if he gets killed and flips scum while still not committing against him.
You fought me over the votecount and who "found" Spartan, but otherwise you've had no interest whatsoever in explaining yourself beyond attacking your attacker.
Oh, PUHLEASE. You're not lecturing me on when a vote is or is not an OMGUS and when an OMGUS is or is not a scumtell. Don't even try. I went there and back before you even came to this subforum and [CENSORED because somebody would've reported it for being too graphic]. Don't try to pull that on me.
For now, I'm wondering who Vector finds suspicious. You seem to have voted Ottofar at the beginning of the day to get him to talk, but I wonder if you are buying into his excuses. If you don't, then why aren't you ripping him a new one?I find your vote for Vector suspicious (and specious). Is this a day 2 random vote, or do you have any meat behind it? Has it anything to do with your perceived defense/buddying yesterday, so now is the time to distance?
I'm pretty sure Panda is town as well.Would you mind explaining your reasoning for this?
IronyOwl, my Wintuition said Spartan was scum and was right; it also says you are scum, and I expect it's right here as well.No. You are the one giving nothing but intangibles, gut feels, rage and insults as replies. This may be your superinvincibleuberpandastyle, but it sucks, it gives no information, and it's scummy. Please answer this: other than IronyOwl, who is most suspicious to you now and why? What is your opinion on the possible scumminess of Eduren, Ottofar & Lonewolf?
The part where I'm picking up reasons for your scuminess after catching you is normal for me. You are scum. Give up. You're desperately throwing some sort of bitchfit attacking everyone to try to get suspicion off of you. Stop it. There's a difference between "IronyOwl is being aggressive" and "IronyOwl is trying to look like he's being aggressive" and wintuition says you're falling on the wrong side of the PARABOLA OF RAGE this game.
Irony Owl and Pandarsenic - Are you fighting over niggling discrepancies in vote counts and ordering because half-remembered impressions were wrong or because they were wrong in such a way that your opponent is forwarding a scum agenda?Your question was answered (after a fashion) several posts ago. Have you seen anything new in the exchange to give you a better perspective? Do you think at this point that IronyOwl, or Pandarsenic is being scummier? Other that these two, who should be scrutinized in your opinion?
Once again, no explanation of unvote, just voting for somebody because he defended somebody else. This also has the handy effect of getting his vote off of scum Spartan.
Vector: about the above, would you find it suspicious if you weren't the target? (say if he had defended/buddied Zai yesterday, and today voted him with no reasoning behind it?) If so, would you be grilling him for it?
Once again, no explanation of unvote, just voting for somebody because he defended somebody else. This also has the handy effect of getting his vote off of scum Spartan.
Ottofar- Scummy too, he votes org, catches a little flak for it and than spartan votes Org and draws aggro from just about the entire thread. He jumps onto the Spartan bandwagon as if nothing ever happened and he was not suspicious in the least, saying that "Org has been making sense the entire game". He has been lurking ever since he landed his vote on an easy lynch.
Toonyman:I'm pretty sure Panda is town as well.Would you mind explaining your reasoning for this?
Pandarsenic is town because IronyOwl decided with his team mates (or possibly not with team mates) last night/today to target him with a lot a lot of words which is something I did as scum to cause a large distraction before.
What? THIS EXPLAINS NOTHING!Once again, no explanation of unvote, just voting for somebody because he defended somebody else. This also has the handy effect of getting his vote off of scum Spartan.
...You forget, that this happened in my first post following TBM'sOttofar- Scummy too, he votes org, catches a little flak for it and than spartan votes Org and draws aggro from just about the entire thread. He jumps onto the Spartan bandwagon as if nothing ever happened and he was not suspicious in the least, saying that "Org has been making sense the entire game". He has been lurking ever since he landed his vote on an easy lynch.
OTTOFAR, YOU LAZY WASTE OF SCUMSPACE. Since you don't seem to grasp what it means to be useful, I shall assist you:
WHY DID YOU UNVOTE SPARTAN? WHEN DID HE STOP BEING SCUMMY?
WHAT MADE EDUREN SO MUCH MORE WORTHY OF YOUR VOTE?
And don't give me shit like "he wer scummier" or "ed deefnded vector"! I WANT ACTUAL REASONS WITH QUOTES AND/OR LINKS TO BACK IT UP.
No. I just noticed that part of TBM's post myself.
I was voting for Eduren to see his alignment, as he defended Vector, and I think Vector is better at scumhunting than him. He had also been lurking at that point, and Spartan looked more like noobtown, in my opinion.
Rorschach
Crazy, masked vigilante, out to make a mark on the world. With a grappling hook.
(Night) Kill [target]: You can render a person incapable of living with your incredible strength.
(Night) Confuse [target]: You can psyche out a player with a psychiatrist-like recanting of what they REALLY want. The player will target a random person.
(Day) Grappling Hook [target]: If a player leaves the scene, you may follow them and bring them back... if they're alive.
(Auto) Illegal: Masked vigilantes are bad. Killing innocent people is worse. Both at once is the worst. Your chance to kill someone is 1 / (# of Town you've killed + 2)
Ah, well, I am willing to defend my townie-hood with my life and honor.What the hell does this mean?
Wait. So if Toony was targeted for a kill, that means we had 3 potential kills last night. Considering that, does anybody agree that its getting to be MC time?Probably. Especially now that TM's ability has allegedly been activated.
Zathras said that he was suspicious Toony and Pandersenic buddy'ing and mutual trust, and now he's dead. I find that curious.Never go there, dude. You do not try and read into NKs. That's like self-inflicted WIFOM.

Vote Mysteriousbluepuppet, You've been very quiet. Too quiet.
I was sledgehammered last night, awesome. Hows it feel scum?This would make three NKs last night. Given that we've already lost a vigilante, I find that suspicious.
If what my role says is true then mafia don't have a night-kill anymore, how nice right? Let's see what happens tomorrow to confirm this.
IronyOwl is definitely scum. I can inspect rolepowers, and I targeted him last night. He has a mafiakill, and the ability to devour his victims, leaving no traces behind (no roleflip, in mechanics terms) until he himself dies. He does get their role when he kills them.That I can explain, oddly enough.
FAKEEDIT: Ninjaed by Toony. Looks like it's "had a mafiakill" now.
Robert Fulton
Inventor and engineer, you are. You developed the steamboat. Props, yo. Congratulations on using the steam engine and putting it on a boat.
(Night) Upgrade [target]: You may upgrade a random ability of a player.
(Day) Investigate [target]: You may investigate a dead player to build a device based on their role. It is given to a random player, including you.
(Auto) Unsuccessful Experiments: You have a certain percent to die after using your first ability that increases each time you use an ability.
(Auto) Go Down With The Sub: You can send one last message to the board after you die.

Theory: The invention-off-a-dead-guy is a day action. Perhaps the crunching from IronyOwl was an attempt to invent off someone he ate?
More on Zathras's scummitude: His power of hiding but seeing his "NKers'"/own-NK-victims' roles is weird, considering he hasn't shared any roles with us. Why would town not share the roles of dead people?I think I missed something. Did you mean someone else?
IO: Did you eat Zathras? If so, what was his role?I did not.
...Yes, I meant you, IO. I redid that part of the post so many times because it kept getting deleted I eventually started putting Zathras instead of you.More on Zathras's scummitude: His power of hiding but seeing his "NKers'"/own-NK-victims' roles is weird, considering he hasn't shared any roles with us.

IO: Have you eaten anyone?I have not. Presumably you're going to want to know why.
...Did you just admit to lying about your roleclaim? You said in your RC that you eating people was triggered randomly (50% chance of happening) when someone attempted to NK you. Now you're saying that you have the ability to NK?IO: Have you eaten anyone?I have not. Presumably you're going to want to know why.
The first reason is that murdering people at random and then saying "just trust me guys he was scum" three days later struck me as very town unfriendly. If it was a normal NK I could see killing someone I was certain of, but there was just no way to do it without making people think we had a SK or roleclaiming immediately and then assuring everyone I could be trusted to report my ruthless murders accurately. Add in all the other powers likely to be in a BYOR and the potential to hurt more than help seemed high.
The second reason is that nobody seemed to be agreeing with me- in fact, Vector and Eduren pegged ToonyMan as town for reasons I can't begin to fathom. I'm fairly arrogant, but when nobody agrees with something I think is obvious, it's time to stop before "oops, but I'm SURE of the next one" becomes a habit.
Org, my only friend. :-[Don't use emoticons, scumface. They won't save you.
I meant in addition to Lonewolf's mention of my nightkill. I haven't been attacked by anyone either.

I am an Anglerfish. I have a lure that makes me look like a more appealing target to inspects, and am otherwise a sort of knight/war vet combo- 50% chance to survive an NK, 50% chance to eat my NKer. They're independent of each other, if you're curious.
Coming from a guy who now appears to be retcon-claiming Vig, I find the "suspicion" of TM claiming there were a total of (at least) 3 NKs last night after we had last at least one Vig die already highly suspect.I was sledgehammered last night, awesome.

Vote Mysteriousbluepuppet, You've been very quiet. Too quiet.
Mostly been sleeping, studying. gotta go to college in an hour , will be back in 8 hour or so, i'll give you answer to any question you want to ask.
But really, you were not really there often too the last day, your reason are ?
Also, find the sheer numbers of posts and people overwhelming.Dude. We're down to 9 people, of which you are a part. Making it 8 other people. THAT'S NOT A LOT, MAN.
Brotherly Love- I can form a mason group.I assume you already have done so? Or does forming it get rid of your Revive? Can only Townies be recruited? If not, does recruiting people reveal their alignment to you?
Theory: The invention-off-a-dead-guy is a day action. Perhaps the crunching from IronyOwl was an attempt to invent off someone he ate?Wait what? He claims to only hide their role PM, not take their rolepower.
Oh wait, I get it. I guess it makes sense: Crunch comes from IO because Ed is rumbling around his insides to get to Zathras.

PANDAR: Why did you wait so long to RC? You posted right after the Vote Reset.
Also. I might as well and go ahead and claim my actions:
Night 1: I attempted to Hide Vector, but she was already nowhere to be found. In other words: Her not being available for Pandar to target was not my doing.

This sounds suspicious is why I ask.
Anglerfish
If fish can dream, they have nightmares of you, luring them from their safe homes and devouring them. You are very distracting and ridiculously scary, which will hopefully lead to your success in the mafia.
(Day) Crunch [target]: You can crunch up the bones of a dead player you've Devoured to make the body impossible to identify and removing them from your stomach. However, people will hear a crunching noise coming from your direction.
(Night, Mafiakill) Devour [target]: Eats and removes the body of the player you kill, so that the player's identity will not be revealed until you die. As well, players may not target those dead players. You are told what role the player you killed was.
(Auto) Lure: If a player targets you, they may not be roleblocked or redirected.
Ra, God of Sun
You control Night and Day. Well, you control the sun, which controls Night and Day, so kinda in an indirect way.
(1-Use) Solar Reset: The Mandjet makes a double shift, skipping the next Night Phase.
(1-Use) Solar Skip: The Mesektet comes early, dragging the sun back before it can show its face. The next Day Phase is skipped.
(1-Use) Resurrection: You can resurrect a dead player once you have used both of your Solar powers.
I targeted toonyman. It showed he targeted Moody and Lonewolf.That would be because I guarded both of them.
I'm pretty sure he did it so that if you came up town then both you and Broody would be 100% confirmed town.Word.
I'm pretty sure he did it so that if you came up town then both you and Broody would be 100% confirmed town.Word.
Also, fucking called it on IronyOwl.
Hold on. Confused about something. Checking with Web.Never mind. I stupidly abstained from hide-blocking anybody again.
Org. You're my next biggest target.Why?
After IronyOwl I think Org is the biggest suspect.BUT WHY? WHERE IS THE EVIDENCE? IT IS DAY 4 MOTHERFUCKER. NO "dere isnt n e" EXCUSES.
I'm not confirmed but I have a really high probability of being town....What does that even mean?
Wow this is stupid. Just going to say Toonyman, we should lynch you for being stupid.Do you think Vector is scum or are you just freaking out?
I have done nothing.
IF NO ONE ELSE THAN ME CAN BE SCUM, THAT MEANS WE HAVE SEVEN CONFIRMED TOWN. I DONT THINK THAT CAN HAPPEN EASILY.
What does Vector have to say?
Would be a good idea to know who protected who, give us an insight on who was supposed to get NKed ?I protected Lonewolf and Broody and I have no idea what you're saying for the second part. Do you know who was suppose to be NKed BluePuppet?
I am the the Bomber. I will explode on death killing the last to vote for me or the mafia if it's a NK. Also had a one use that set up a trap if i'm to be killed to protect me and kill the attacker. used it stupidly on the first round....Does no one else find this suspicious? Whatever.
THEBROODYMOODS: Did you or did you not already form a Mason group? Is it a Night, Day, or Either action?Second: It reveals that I am town but I do not get to know if the other person is town. I can recruit anyone, so it's entirely hunch based.Brotherly Love- I can form a mason group.I assume you already have done so? Or does forming it get rid of your Revive?

This sounds suspicious is why I ask.
I did. It sounds like he just copied my Impale ability, first of all, and second is that he clearly didn't give us the whole thing if:I am the the Bomber. I will explode on death killing the last to vote for me or the mafia if it's a NK. Also had a one use that set up a trap if i'm to be killed to protect me and kill the attacker. used it stupidly on the first round....Does no one else find this suspicious? Whatever.
Can already say i have not used my smoke bomb, so I was not targeted or someone protected me.
..There wasn't a night-kill last night Zai.That doesn't clear YOU. If you lied about them losing their NK, and you are the last scum, then you could have simply refrained from NKing. I have no clue what you could have been doing with the people you "guarded." I'm just saying that I don't remember you being cleared for having told the truth by someone else.
If Org isn't scum, you are definitely scum Zai.Why's that?
The smoke bomb I talked. earlier. make me untargetable/hidden for a phase.What is this even in response to?
If Org isn't scum, you are definitely scum Zai.Why's that?
[PPE:] What's the ability?
What exactly does Chase Down do?I thought I said it, but I guess I didn't. You could probably infer it by looking at the last sentence before I addressed Org:
Also Org, you said you had another ability that you kept to yourself ?I did too, so I'll answer as well, but from my perspective.
Why would you do that , anyway?
Also, where is everybody ? it's sunday, there's nothing interesting anywhere !Labor Day weekend in USA. A lot of people get tomorrow (Labor Day) off, so a lot of people go on mini-vacations over this weekend.
IF NO ONE ELSE THAN ME CAN BE SCUM, THAT MEANS WE HAVE SEVEN CONFIRMED TOWN. I DONT THINK THAT CAN HAPPEN EASILY.
What does Vector have to say?
...No. As I understand, Web correct me in a PM if I am wrong, but it only hides me from being tracked.
Okay. I had a 1-shot ability that I did not tell y'all about until I hinted at it a few posts ago. It allowed me to Chase Down anybody who targeted me at Night. Only person who had targeted me was Org. So, I PMed Web a bit ago to tell him to use my ability. I just got a response, and lo and behold...
Nothing. I went to Org's house, but it wasn't Org's house. Web said I'm unable to find Org at this time.
Now, I had asked Web previously a few questions about Chase Down. All he had said was it was guaranteed true as long as the player had nothing hiding their alignment.
ORG: Does that ability you didn't tell us about hide your alignment? Because that's a really shitty ability for town.
You're second most suspicous for flipping the fuck out everyhere.If Org isn't scum, you are definitely scum Zai.Why's that?
Org is probably the last scum.Im really loving the wagon guys.
So why are you voting him?Org is probably the last scum.Im really loving the wagon guys.
Pandar.
Uh huh, yeah you can't just say no. You have to have evidence.Nope. You're the one who has to have evidence to back up your ridiculous claims. So get some or get out.
You're making posts that don't make sense if you've actually been reading the gameFair enough. I have a bad memory, and I forgot a lot after the transition to Day 4.
you're freaking out over everything this whole day, and you're being highly defensive.Now that's the stuff you'd need to provide evidence for.
I always thought you loved voting Org as well Zai, what's holding you back now?
If Org isn't scum, you are definitely scum Zai.
I always thought you loved voting Org as well Zai, what's holding you back now?The fact I don't see him as scum?
You don't think Org is scum? I find that hard to believe. That is a lie Zai and town shouldn't lie.
You don't think Org is scum? I find that hard to believe. That is a lie Zai and town shouldn't lie.
DUDE WHAT THE HELL, mate?
Does... does no one else see this? Yeah, I thought he was town, but... this! Come fricking on.
Pandar is lurking and bandwagoning.
Sounds scummy.
(Day) Grappling Hook [target]: If a player leaves the scene, you may follow them and bring them back... if they're alive....Does this mean that one of the people who are "missing" might be alive? Remember, N2, we had 2 people go missing (Zathras and Joker). Only one is confirmed to have died (Zathras), and IO only "crunched" up the body of another (presumably Toaster, the sole missing person of N1). And nobody claimed getting rid of Joker.
Fire (auto): Hidden. No idea. I'm guessing it's something destructive, though, just from the name.Why would Web tell you about a Hidden ability? That doesn't make sense, Vector. In BYOR 3, if you had Hidden attributes they were damn well hidden from you. As in, you weren't even told about them! And EVERYBODY else in this game was told all of their powers, so why would you be an exception?

Have anybody to vote?
No. As I understand, Web correct me in a PM if I am wrong, but it only hides me from being tracked.Wait. Why would you not share this? What was the logic behind that?
My one-shot is really dumb. It only helps with claiming. I get to see everyone who targeted me the night I use it.
That doesn't make any sense Broody, I was asking if you were going to vote someone. So you vote me for asking.
Because he's scum and/or that's not really what he does.No. As I understand, Web correct me in a PM if I am wrong, but it only hides me from being tracked.Wait. Why would you not share this? What was the logic behind that?
My one-shot is really dumb. It only helps with claiming. I get to see everyone who targeted me the night I use it.
PPE: Actually, TBM, I'm pretty surprised too - Toony was one of the few people who supported my crusade against IronyOwl BEFORE the claim failure.
...If I am wrong, which is entirely possible, I'llmakeeat the collective hats of everyone in this Mafia game.
the thing I cannot reconcile is that THREE people were targeted for a kill action on a single nightEh. As I said, I think Joker was able to take himself out of the game with his role. He went missing; we don't know he died.
How?Weird roleclaim, someone else mentioned your reluctance to vote IronyOwl until it was beyond obvious he was scum, poor response to being voted. The fact that you haven't voted Toony just to tie it is the only reason I'm uncertain.
Really, Pandar?Spoiler (click to show/hide)
Herp.
Derp.
You mean, the single ability. I guess I could have said it and we could have planned a claim for some people, I thought that would get messy fast, as then the traitor could just kill me or whoever.
I'm predicting that kill actions will come back tonight if we don't kill the last scum today, and it might even be two kill actions. If I am wrong, which is entirely possible, I'll make eat the collective hats of everyone in this Mafia game.You seem too sure of yourself.
Old Spice Guy
"The man that this man smells like."
(Night) Odorize [target]: You can attach a scent to a player and find who he targeted last Night.
(Auto) Deordorized: You are untrackable because of how good you smell like.
(Night, 1-Use) Old Spice Man: You can see who smells like you after the Night. Surely, these people acted on you or someone that acted on someone that smells like you (from actioning you or someone that smells like you.)

JOKER: Where were you? You need to roleclaim.
JOKER: Where were you? You need to roleclaim.I got a PM saying that everything went black in the night and I lost my role which was fuckin' awesome. I couldn't post or interact with anyone. Now I'm "Baby Tic-Tac-Toe" and I have no abilities. I've got no clue what happened, but there's someone out there that's hiding some kind of Kidnap ability that also steals roles. It's possible that that's a one-shot, because that seems a little unbalanced, but I feel like that person is scum.
If that's true, than what was your role- that could prove most unfortunate were we to stumble into someone using your powers with out advanced notice: Forewarned is Forearmed; and that's half an Octopus.
Unvote.
Need to do thread reread to get a really clear idea, but currently I'm getting bad vibes from Puppet and Toony. I think the latter slipped (need to find the quotation) and the former has been acting... odd. Something just feels off. Part of the problem may be the language barrier, but I'm definitely getting a bad feeling about him.
She said the fire ability is Auto, not 1-shot. Vector, are you sure you're not an Arsonist?
Also Zai, BROODY IS CONFIRMED TOON, stop being a moron.
If that's true, than what was your role- that could prove most unfortunate were we to stumble into someone using your powers with out advanced notice: Forewarned is Forearmed; and that's half an Octopus.
I lol'd.
I certainly hope that the person didn't steal my role abilities. I had:
Night-use roleblock
Automatic protection from every action except for kills
One-shot MEGA PARTICLE SHOT to eliminate one target.
However, if two of these were used in the same Phase, I would be unable to make an action during the next Phase.
I am the Angry Unicorn
At night I can Inspect people; if they're town, however, they turn into a My Little Pony with no powers.
I have an auto Impale, which causes me to kill whoever attempts to kill me.
I have a 1-use Pegasus ability, which makes me immune to all actions and unlynchable for one phase.
Pegasus does not interfere with Impale. I have not used Pegasus yet. Impale DOES respond to lynches.
N1 I inspected Vector and was unable to find her. N2 I inspected Jokerman-EXE and found him to be town. Except he died, herp derp.
One-shot MEGA PARTICLESHOTCANNON to eliminate one target.
Actually Joker you seem to have been ponyfied. If i remember well that only work on town, so that would confirm you.Are you retarded? You're taking his word for it? Did you not learn anything from watching IO failclaim? Namely that scum can lie? A person cannot confirm themselves, barring extraordinary roles that allow for that to happen. And these roles don't.
Probably. We shall see tomorrow.I am the Angry Unicorn

Is this his Pegasus ability? Would abilities that make you untargetable remove you from the game?
And isn't anyone the least suspicious that his inspect ability renders town helpless? If that's true, how come he didn't inspect Ironyowl Night 2- and why would he inspect Lonewolf I. Shouldn't he honestly only target the most suspicious, even forgo the inspects if such a target doesn't exist?Very good point. Let us await the 'morrow to ask why.
I'm not entirely convinced that Jokerman's disappearance/reappearance and Pandersenic's coinciding disappearance is unrelated.IDEA/THEORY: There is only one person allowed in "missing but not dead"-space at any time. If a new person goes there, they kick the other person back into the game.

Each night I can analyze someone and deduce ONE of their rolepowers, in full.
N1 I targeted ToonyMan. I can confirm that he has a guard power, and will sacrifice himself instead of his target if the kill is unblockable.
N2 IronyOwl. There's a 'mafiakill' tag on his Devour ability.
I have a one-shot, anytime use ability to immediately recieve the entire role of a player, however I will lose all of my deductive powers afterwards, effectively leaving me a vanilla townie. I have not used it yet.

Because you know how big the scumteam is? How would you know that, hmmm?
I was supicious of Zai yesterdayBut before you thought I was "suspicious," you said you thought I was town. What happened to that?
Yesterday you were being a pain in the assHow's that different from you?
acting like you forgot everything that happened in the game.I wasn't acting. I have terrible memory, and real life stuff sent a lot of stuff from this game out of my mind.
Vector, who are you supcious of and what would you consider your normal playing to be?
You voted Jokerman and me today so far, unless I missed a post.
You voted Jokerman and me today so far, unless I missed a post.You didn't.

Normal playing? Not this. I'm in too many games right now and my mental processes are crashing badly. Sorry. I can't seem to get a direct train of logic.That's no excuse. Play the damn game. You said earlier today you needed to reread the game. So why don't you do that?
Yeah. I did. I wanted data from Jokerman, and then I voted you because I thought you'd made that slip (which turned out to be OK). In the same post, I said that my second pick was Puppet.If it was "OK" then why the hell are you still voting TM?
Dude Vector, I do not remember a time when you would have a one word post.
What the hell, Pandar?No, and he'll have some serious consequences if he decides to do it again.
Web: Was Pandar allowed to post that?
vector. Are you voting meYou don't pay much attention, do you?
Don't remember you asking me a question or anything vector. Are you voting me since I think you hide a bit of things behind your fire power ?

Read harder. I'm not voting you.
When I do vote you, it will be because I've built a case from your play this game. Not sooner. Not later.
Your supposedly hidden would be what , anyway ? People knew about retribution kill, tracking, resurection, rolecheck. I don't really see what ability would be hidden if every normal power is present and revealed to the player.

Look, man, I don't know. Pressing me harder will not make me know. If you don't know something, then you simply don't know it. I can't defend it. I can't explain it. It is what it is.
If you're suspicious of me, then I suggest that you make a case, rather than jumping onto what's bothering two other people. It makes you look like you don't know what you're doing, on top of your PAINFULLY defensive play.
... Did you not hear the part where I'm in the middle of doing a thread reread? Good lord.
Yes, your point ? I don't think a thread reread will let you mysteriously know us what your real powers are.
Suddenly, some music appears out of nowhere. It is soothing... And telling you a message. It seems that Vector must be Town! You all deeply appreciate the message.
WEB: Is that what Ed's after-death post would be like?It is not. Eduren will be able to post his own message.
Coo', well- that saves me the trouble of explaining my role in all this. And, actually Zai, I believe I was the last to claim....What does this have to do with your role? You claimed Reviver/Mason group starter.

I am also masoned with vector. Or did you forget?Apparently so, as I don't remember you claiming this. But I do remember you saying you weren't able to see alignment.
There have been, thus far, no inconsistencies with her claims. I do not think she is scum; I admit I could be fallible- but only just barely.No inconsistencies =/= Not scum. That just means she's careful.
I apologize for not being on; I got trapped at my parent's place last couple days: on the plus side- Kitten Happened. Kneel before your Zod Cat.THEBROODYMOODS: Did you or did you not already form a Mason group? Is it a Night, Day, or Either action?Second: It reveals that I am town but I do not get to know if the other person is town. I can recruit anyone, so it's entirely hunch based.Brotherly Love- I can form a mason group.I assume you already have done so? Or does forming it get rid of your Revive? Can only Townies be recruited? If not, does recruiting people reveal their alignment to you?
This sounds suspicious is why I ask.
I did in fact form a mason group with Vector. She claimed the same role that she did here. I have no reason, thus far, to doubt that she's town.
There have been, thus far, no inconsistencies with her claims. I do not think she is scum; I admit I could be fallible- but only just barely.No inconsistencies =/= Not scum. That just means she's careful.
You got fairly obstinate about it- so how could you have actually missed it? I find that surprising.Probably because I didn't miss it. I forgot it.
I believe the quotation you used deals with that precise issue. I merely said that I have no reason to doubt her- and I do feel I can trust her- but just because she has a hidden ability --given some of the abilities town has had -- and the quote from God (essentially Webaddict in this situation), I think we move on....So what did Web proclaiming Vector's town have to do with you? How is this his backing? It would have to be somebody's role, not Web volunteering to tell us something so important as that.
Oh well; I now have the backing of Lord Webaddict.
and the quote from God (essentially Webaddict...)Damn it, man. Now he's going to quote that out of context like I just did.
Wow, that's a lot of word. Ill post counter arguments as soon as i finish reading that brick. First impression tho is the nice lack of any background. Not hard to look stupid without context.No shit dumbass. THAT IS WHY THERE IS A GODDAMN LINK INCLUDED IN EVERY QUOTE. I have explained that throughout the game! How have you not gotten that yet?!

I don't get how the announcement relates to you.and the quote from God (essentially Webaddict...)Damn it, man. Now he's going to quote that out of context like I just did.
peoples are lazy, they wont follow every link then reread the whole thread to get context.
Actually, has anyone proclaimed responsibility for webaddict's announcement?No, which is why it's suspicious.
Day 1OMG he's not voting Spartan like everybody else is already voting ! Scum!1!. I don't care, i tought that toony was more susceptible to be scummy. Read back the post. What i'm against is people flinging accusation willy-nilly. If they get it right, then well, congrats.I don't recall you talking about TM Day 1.
Day 2 : Being drunk 2 days, then missing classes to hangover tend to make one Not post on a forum on the internet. You know that already, that's pretty much the excuses you used later when Zathras came in."Hey guys I got too drunk but I won't tell you until 3 in-game-Days later" is totally a valid excuse.
Day 3 : Again, classes tend to get in the way for forums game. Work too, can't see whyNeither can I.
Day 4 : Work, classes. Trying to get everyone role , saying who i find more scummy ( you were there :) ) getting to vote when i'm back from the lab.That's funny. I seem to recall MCing by the end of Day 3. I guess you still had to catch up.
Day 5 : Absurd ? before that weird otherwordly voice said you were town, and even then, I still feel bad with your roles. I don't know that part of my role , stop asking me bluh. We all gave our role , and all the power were known to us.Could use some " marks to separate you mocking Vector from you talking about why she's scummy, but otherwise okay.
Well I don't know what Toonie would be, Refuge in audacity townie or scum, possibly. If he has is way, people wont lynch him the day, and at night he can scum all he want.
Also, Ottofar is pretty much not doing anything. It's not a proof but that ain,t good too.
for the rest i havent made an opinion yet.
Actually, has anyone proclaimed responsibility for webaddict's announcement?No, which is why it's suspicious.
You make me facepalm.
Well I for one do not think Org is our scum.
I'm thinking Mysteriousbluepuppet or TheBroodyMoods. Still waiting on his response to my questions a bit ago.
Everybody: Be aware, we are now up to 3 people on Org. Please don't hammer until TBM shows up and answers my questions.
...Vector mainly for her "hidden" ability (and if I recall correctly, she was the last person to RC, but had posted a few times between the start of MC and her RC), but also somewhat for her large lack of interaction with the known scum, distancing her from them.
What made you change your opinion of Mysteriousbluepuppet in favor of vector, incidentally?I'm not sure what you're talking about? Since when have I been "in favor" of Vector? I'm still voting her. I've voiced suspicions of both for a while.

Found the quote for you. If you follow a few page later i say that i would need a replacement since college was afoot, then came back since web could not find anybody else.
Vector, if you were to quote my post, why did you forgot posting those that was contradictory to your theory. You are a scientific mind, fudging thing's isn't good.
Sleep on that info. For my part i'm going to bed and wont be back until 6 pm tommorow. If Vector get her way i'll have to give you my full schedule soon anyway.
Guess that explains that (though the musical flavor... now that's just weird).

From somewhere in the crowd:
Cough. Earth, Wind, and Fire. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nfLEc09tTjI) Cough cough.
Still, you are fudging ( wich you may remember was a irrelevent post you passed) and that is bad. I don,t remeber you doing anything usefull until Zathras snapped out of it. And i mean anything.
[...]
And again, i find that you throwing the lurking accusation is quite funny, considering you were prime lurking until about day 3. When i signed i played and posted as much as i could, can't say the same about you .
TVTrope: Chest Burster
BLARGH! You're not even a real role, since you're not really a physical concept, but an idea OF a concept created from an event.
(Day) CHEST BURST!: You can burst from all the people's chests that you have currently impregnated, killing them. This ability activates on death as well.
(Night) Plant Seed [target]: You... uh... yeah.
(Auto) Inconceivable: Since you are not real, any part of your role is impossible to imagine and cannot be revealed except on death.
(Auto) Everyone's Dead: You win as long as no one else is alive. Your living status is unnecessary.
Erik
You are the Phantom of the Opera, hiding away in an Opera House with a mask to disguise your face. You have a multitude of skills, but without your mask, you will almost certainly be killed. Your architectual knowledge will be necessary.
(Night) Hide: Having made your current surroundings, you can move in and out of secret passages that no one else knows.
(Night) Kidnap [target]: You may remove a player from the game, hiding them away in a secret location. You may release them at any time. You cannot kidnap more than one person at a time. This player may action you at any time, even if you are Hiding. The player will not be told who or what has captured them.
(Auto) Mask Removal: If your mask is removed, the player that removed your mask can reveal it to the Thread, showing your alignment to everyone. However, your mask can only be removed by being able to reach you while you are hiding.
(1-Use) Phantom of the Opera: You show everyone how truly beautiful you are. Everyone will be told you are town. If your mask has been removed, this action will fail.
Antoine Dodson
Umm... You're not sure why you're here right now instead of hiding your children, wife, family, town, dog, toys, or car.
(Night) Hide Other [target]: You hide the person from harm, making them unable to act or be acted on.
(Auto) They Rapin' E'erybody!: If someone visits you in the Night, you will assume that person is trying to get you, causing you to stop your action. You will quickly identify them, though.
(1-Use) Chase Down [target]: You can choose one of the people that actioned you and learn what team they're on.
Baby Cuddles
You are part of the Unicorn cult. You are blue with pink hair. You have no powers.
I'm wondering tho, had i not impregnated Pandar on turn 1 or 2 ?
Earth... Fire... Wind... Water... Heart. With your powers combined, I am Captain Planet!
WE ARE THE FOUR HORSES OF THE APOCALYPSE.
That is all.
Also Pandar, that "I'm a shark" bit was the best "haha you caught me but it's too late" post I've ever seen.
Aw, I hope he's strong enough to hunt on his own with the other Jokermen! Good--goodbye, little Jokesy! Goodbye!
Quote from: VektorAw, I hope he's strong enough to hunt on his own with the other Jokermen! Good--goodbye, little Jokesy! Goodbye!
Teehee.
Wait now it's
Jokerman x Solifuge x Vector x Broody
... Why is there suddenly a foursome? Whyyyyyyyy
LAWLsome game, Webadict!If MBP hadn't've been lynched, I'm sure someone from the Cult would've been chosen to be lynched. It should also have been pointed out that there IS NO SUCH THING AS CONFIRMATION IN A BYOR GAME! Seriously, I could straight-up post their role to the board and the first thing you should say is "not confirmed." They are only confirmed when the game has ended and I tell you their alignment. At any other point, there is a likely chance that someone may be lying, including me.
Pandar, you still suck, but I'm thankful you brought me over the the pony side. You know, the one that won.
Btw, i am the one that tried to kill toony off before getting plastered over. if i had better judgement i would have used it on Joker, since i tought that Pandar was gonna explode and toony was protected.If you had killed BroodyMoods instead, the Cult would have lost.
Still, a fun game. Damn you vector, our goal were not so different !
Also, things that made me actually lol:
Vektor talking to herself/dead scum for like ten pages
Vektor making...haiku? O_o
And:Quote from: VektorWait now it's

If Vector had been hammered, BluePuppet probably would have won - he had over half the cult (including me) ready for arson and only Vector kidnapping me saved me.Wrong. You weren't Primed. Org, Zai, Vector, and Lonewolf I were Primed.
Indeed, i checked back and that was org and not you Pandar. Sorry for the confusion. Really the worst stumbling block was toony, since he needed to be lynched.ToonyMan was susceptible to Arson, actually. Only kill-type moves were ineffective.

Short fuse only activated on successful activation of Self-Defense. Since Self-Defense doesn't activate on being Arsoned, you were safe.Indeed, i checked back and that was org and not you Pandar.

This game was mine!
This game was mine!Actually it was Pandar's but if you want to believe it was yours you can do so. Still wouldn't make you right, but it allows for us to laugh at you even more.
