Short version: Go watch/read Liar Game instead. Though it may not give you the softcore pornography that you want.
Also Kaiji and everything else Fukumoto has written.

JoJo's is an obvious example, spending the first two parts being about kung fu vampires and then suddenly gaining iconic kung fu snowflake ghosts.
Having read everything except Vento Aureo and JoJolion now I would agree for the most part.

Speaking of which, Steel Ball Run on its own evolves through the story. I think it's probably my favorite JoJo now. Because it ran for so long and it's when the manga switched to monthly, you get to see a notable increase in art quality around volume 3-4. Some people dislike Araki's new "glamour pose" art style that started developing around Stone Ocean or Vento Aureo possibly, but I think it's alright. Getting back on point, SBR's story feels a lot more dynamic throughout. It starts off very focused on the race, but after the monthly switch it becomes more about what each character is striving for in that race, and even though the main characters are Gyro and Johnny, you get to see a lot of cool interactions between other characters and even get their backstories too. It also probably has the best antagonist besides Kira in my opinion, and they go through a radical redesign in their appearance as the series progresses.

kind of dusty in here

So I finished the first arc of Knights of Sidonia. I feel like my best explanation for it is "a cross between Attack on Titan and a harem anime, set in space with giant mecha."
cough cough

The only thing to mention when Knights of Sidonia is stated to be like a twist on Attack on Titan is that KoS is a few years older as a series. Just mentioning that so we don't get the idea that it's some sort of clone.
cough cough cough

My money is on Macross Frontier as an influence on KoS, what with a deep-space colony ship attacked by mysterious bio-mechanical aliens and the humans experimenting on the aliens to make bio-weapons. Frontier aired the year before Sidonia started serializing so the dates work out.

I'm an Updater. I can update a player each night and make sure they're running the latest version of their software and working correctly.

I checked Origami Night 1 and he was up-to-date. Though it didn't say whether his process was working correctly, it seemed implied.

Interestingly, my win condition is technically "make sure every active program is up to date when the game ends", so I'm guessing every town role has some sort of flavor in that sense.

I don't really have much time today so I'll say this.

I think we should focus more on happenings in the game. What kind of hacks are there and why are certain posts being edited. I don't really have time for finding patterns or clues, which is probably a death sentence for this game.

And I'm not sure if town powers are absolute or do anything.

I can likely post again this evening, so I can give a bit more info, but I'm pretty sure Origami is town.

Wait, what? Murder? Really, where does it say anything like that? Toonyman, it really looks like you're trying to pick something from nothing. If TBF hadnt made that time-space scumslip thingy, you would most definitely be at the top of my scum list.
It looks like a message of a cry for help. Like the original user was killed!

That Peradon post is amazing...also we should probably quarantine him before it spreads.
See, now this is exactly what I'd expect from a scum post-editing strategy: mess with someone's post and then argue we should kill people with messed up posts. How is this rationale for killing more plausible than the alternative?
Or maybe it's scum waiting for somebody to vote somebody for the reasons you just said?

That messed up text has actual words and sentences in it that seem to describe /murder/. The other hacking seems to just be adware, but what's to say Peradon isn't who he says he is now?

Got anything to say Peradon?

@Tomasque:

Are you seriously trying to out Shakerag for reading back on posts in a game where the mod has and will make edits to older posts?

I feel like our role abilities might actually work, but we need to understand their context for this setting.

In other words, I'm assuming what my ability even does when I use it.

Meph never says whether flabort was a virus or adware or not so we can probably take that into account.

OSG, what makes you think TBF isn't just newb-flailing right now? Because that's the impression I'm increasingly getting.
Same.



ToonyMan:  Color me curious as to why you're still voting OSG. 
Seems like an okay quarantine.



Everyone: If you were scum, who would you target?  If you were a guard, who would you block?
Do you mean a night-kill? Probably Shakerag or Notquitethere for actively participating.

If I was a guard I'd block TBF to see what happens, or Origami.
