I didn't kill Okami, actually. I really did block Toaster.

P.S. I like your new avatar. What's it from? I almost feel like I should recognize it.

You certainly had a lot of it.

So did you get a one-shot block or something? I got the feeling you lied about both delays.

I played poorly in the last day. RL just decided to take a shit in my lap this month. Ugh.

By the way, I took down every previous king for you Toony. I hope you at least give me some kind of memorial.

Griff: KotM3 will give you a lot in a relatively short read. I tend to treat day 1 as an excuse to be random and see what novel reactions I can provoke. Sometimes I'm just being annoying, like a gnat, buzzing in someone's ear...

At least two of you were very, very dumb.

I have so much to say, but it will have to wait.

More specifically, I would consider the person's posts leading up to the claim, their reasons for claiming (both stated and possible hidden agendas) and then I would poke at them to see how they reacted. Possibly with a stick.
Maybe I'm missing something, but how is a role-claim (such as NQT's) different enough to not justify a poke?
Huh. I could have sworn I just got him to FoS me. Must have been my imagination.

*conjures a stick and pokes NQT with it*

Hey, NQT, are you poked yet?

Oh hey, I'm still voting you. Unvote. Your answer was fine.

Vector: Yep. :)

Also, 2 votes on UI != a lot. One random. Second ... pressure. Also, UI, you missed a vote and question from Toaster.

NQT: Saying it is something you would do is meaningful. It means I consider it null and neither a scum nor town tell.

Yeah, I struggled with how to phrase that. I was trying to make it as plain as possible, especially since I didn't remember your original phrasing, exactly. But it was meant to be as serious as when you did it.

I can't really suggest anyone else because as I've already admitted I'm currently playing catchup.

Aha! Here's another one.

Ford:  What's the scummiest thing you've seen so far?
I have unfortunately not had the time to delve deeply into the goings-on of this game. KotM was taking up a lot of my mental bandwidth. With that out of the way (at least for now), I can focus more on this game.

...babies. I think a babymancer would have been hilarious.

NQT asking for people to volunteer for his ability is an interesting move. It seems like something he'd do.

Ranger seems to have had a little difficulty adapting to way we start games. Not all places do RVS, and it's entirely believable that a first-time player would still have trouble with the practical aspects of it, even if he's read a lot of our games.

*checks the LurkerTracker*

Urist I's got a lot of votes. Not sure why. I didn't see anything stand out in my skimming. Will look into that later.

Hapah hasn't voted for anyone yet ... but neither has web.

Wow ... we actually have a lot of lurkers out there.

Ford:  How would you judge a role name claim out of the blue?  Let's say it's D2.

Yeah... I can't really see how you'd miss the second post in the game.
I guess I assumed it was some other guy named Ford. We may never know the real reason.

But thank you for pointing it out.

Also, I'm the one who submitted bikinimancer.

That read through was surprisingly painless.  I'm in no way 100% on my reads but here goes: scummiest would be Captain Ford, he seems to be absentmindedly dodging questions and not looking all that hard.  I don't know his schedual, so my read will likely change once he gets the chance  to answer the questions posed to him. Most townie would be Soldier, he seems to be fairly straightforward to read, and seems to be trying to hunt scum.

...

Ford: You seem to have been distracted as of late in this game, where have you been?
This is totally the first question anyone has asked me yet.

But I'm also guilty as charged. Work has gotten a lot more intense for me lately. Also, I was planning on having guests over on Wednesday, but they never showed up, and I'm assuming the only one whose phone number I know left his phone on vibrate. I spent all that time preparing for a meetup that never happened, and I spent the rest of the evening working off my frustration, since we gave up other plans for him.

I spent Thursday at a D&D game after work.

Tonight after work, I might actually have some fucking time.

Anyways, I sent that question at you because I wanted to do something, and decided I was just going to pick something at random and ask "why did you do that". Both the question and the way I asked it have a tendency to panic newbies. Your reaction came off as genuine to me (not bad for 30 seconds of work on my part).

I will admit when I asked that I hadn't had time to actually read anything, though.

At this point, what I'm noticing is that Ranger seems to be fumbling through the RVS (which is pretty common for players new to this forum).

The problem I've been having is a matter of "Their play-style is significantly different than mine"=/="They must be scum"
I totally understand what you mean by that.

NQT: Uh. Wow. How about this: I swear on my honor I'm town.

*sigh* Calming down a bit now.

I'll do my best to explain what was running through my head when I picked the Soldier as my target last night.

  • I think Toaster is scum.
  • *rereads Toasters posts* Hmm...actually, he's not that scummy.
  • Hapah is incredibly scummy.
  • But he couldn't have killed Okami, he inspected me last night. Unless he was a cheater.
  • *asks Leafsnail about how cheater and rolecop work, and the answers are hugely illuminating* He's not a cheater. (I completely miss other roles that could allow him to both kill and get my role, because I am doing this thinking under a lot of time pressure and don't have time to search the role list).
  • Well, if it isn't Hapah, then it's Toaster. (I actually send in a kill on Toaster)
  • Wait, if it's NOT Toaster, then I'm going to get lynched tomorrow, because it will look like I did that to cover up a lie. (I send in a decision to no action)

(I don't remember the exact order, but I changed my decision five times, each time I flip-flopped back and forth on what was my biggest concern. I stressed out way too much about this decision)
  • In the end, I decided that it was either Toaster or Toony, and I figured out that if I eliminated The Soldier, then we could lynch Toaster if he was actually blocked, and I could kill Toony in the night.
  • But then if Toaster was the king, he could simply lie, making Toony (or me) out to be a liar.
  • It seems like Toaster is pretty much guaranteed to say he wasn't blocked. (In fact, when Toaster claimed, it really threw me off) (But if I thought that, then why did I leave him alive so he could claim?)
  • But then it's possible Toony is the king, and actually hasn't submitted a kill.
  • It could be The Soldier, too. I thought his responses were town, but then ... I've never seen him playing as scum. He might be really good at it, and I wouldn't know.
    ...and I'm a little burnt out right now. People are asking me to do things, so I need to get some more work done.

Well, damn. I definitely wouldn't have been so damn confident about everything if I'd been an anarchist.

If I were king, I totally would have killed you last night, Hapah. You can call it WIFOM, but if your accusations are true, I really had no good reason not to.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Well fuck. Fuck, fuck, fuck, fucking fuck fuck fuck.

That's about all I got. I totally fucked up by not killing you last night, Hapah.

I'll say it again, fucker. I killed The Soldier because I assumed you were fucking town, and that was dumb. I didn't understand all the possibilities, so I was too confident in my own roleclaim being believed.

Toony: Hapah's claim doesn't explain Okami's death either. It makes a helluva lot more sense that either Hapah or Toaster is the king and one of them killed Okami.

PPE: Lots of people.

Is Anarchist an auto ability? I guess I assumed it was passive.

...wtf? I need to reread my PMs.

(later) ...yeah, I totally got a contradictory answer from Leafsnail. I don't know what's up with that.

Anyway, here's the claim I wrote up, in all it's glory:

Quote from: April 04, 2013, 12:29:02
Yeah, no. Hapah. I'm done with this dance.

I'm a Cannibal.

N0: Did nothing. Got Block from Santa.
N1: Killed Toaster. Gained dirty bomb.
N2: Targeted UI, got bounced to Hapah. Became Santa.
N3: Killed UI, gained Census.
N4: Blocked Toaster.
N5: Killed The Soldier. Gained Protect.

Aside from the dirty bomb, I really don't have anything all that threatening. Hapah either failed to ask the necessary questions, or he's just trying to create paranoia.

I realized after starting the game that if I ever claimed vig, I'd have a tough time later on as king when there weren't two kills anymore, so I wanted to keep the dirty bomb a secret so I could set it off and then have an excuse for not killing.

I can only gain active abilities. I can't gain passive abilities such as kill immunity or an anarchist's randomization.

I don't have the faintest clue what Hapah is on about.

Also, you still haven't accounted for Okami dying (that quote from The Soldier was referring to a circumstance where he only had a kill, and he only identified Toaster as a possible target).

I'll post the full claim I wrote up tomorrow, but it's at work so that'll have to wait for now.

(...anarchist isn't actually required for that scenario, is it, though? Huh.)

In any case, Hapah, I totally regret going softball on you.
