A note: a few people have sent in flavor actions.  This is awesome!  I've been pretty busy, though, so I'll get to those this afternoon--tried to start yesterday but was preoccupied.

No worries about "submitting correctly" or whatever.  You're all doing great.

Cheetar: Not really, People seem happy to lynch me, especially Caz, and Jim, They keep talking about paranormal, and how I don't want to out. The funny thing is, I've told you more about my story then the both of them have added together. I merely said that I'm not sure if I should tell you this much.

But since this is a game of sucking up to the king, and you don't seem super intent on lynching me, I suppose I'm fine :P. (well, among other stuff, but sucking up to the king to stay alive >.>)

It's more that you're worried than your actual claim. Why are you worried?

Louisa/Zombie Urist- What is your favourite flower?
The Sunflower of course!~ Did you know the tallest sunflower on record stands at 8.23 meters? o_o" [1]

zombie urist:
I can't spot your answer to this question from Tiruin, or any follow up from her asking more about it.  Oversight?  Answer forthcoming?
Also question, ZU: if you see someone scummy, how will you out them for the King-if said King was seen as inattentive to your words beforehand?
How does that help you find scum? We got roles from hearlds, not the other way around. (Though that would be kinda fun)
FoS is the same as every other game. Shows suspicion.
You focused the most on flavor.
The same way talking and interaction across a range of topics related to the game and gameplay ever finds Scum.
Do you believe that:
1) the person focusing most on flavor is Scum
2) that I as Scum focus greatly on flavor/I as Town do not
3) that you can't think of anything else suspicious about anyone and feel the need to appear suspicious of someone at this time
4) why else are you acting as you about this?
Must have missed that question. I'd keep repeating myself and questioning the suspect until I get noticed.
--
Scum don't like scumhunting. Looking at flavor is often a way to avoid scumhunting, especially in this game where the mod said flavor is only for fun. You are focused on flavor -> you aren't really scumhunting -> you are scum.

Cheetar: Why do you seem worried about third parties? Why are you asking RVS questions so late into the day?

Caz: Why are you so insistent on vampires?
Also Caz: Who are your main suspects at this time?

Dunno yet. Imp and makeinu have been active, but their questions mostly focus on flavour. Persus and SBC have posted the least so far, plus SBC is worried for some reason when I don't think he should be if he were town. It's hard to tell at this point, I'm glad I don't have the hammer lol.

Why are you following up Tiruin's questions for her?

Spoiler: Questions (click to show/hide)

Have you just been sitting on your hands this whole time? These are RV questions. Do you have anything more concrete to ask people?

Mark II/Jim- How helpful do you think flavour is going to be in determining the alignment and abilities of each player?

It isn't. It's perfectly possible that Vector and wubadiddlydoofus can assign any ability to any player and through use of flavor make it appropriate to that player's character and backstory.

Also, I shall repeat Vector's own words on the subject: flavor and mechanics are separated. Further, attempting to use flavor to learn about people's roles and abilities is frowned upon by our dear moderator.

What was even the point of this question? I can't think of any useful purpose this served.

They keep talking about paranormal, and how I don't want to out.

There's also that you have done fuckall all game.

You haven't done a single ounce of scumhunting or even bothered trying. You have only answered questions. And hesitated about claiming useless flavor, citing a situation where you were scum as an explanation for your hesitance.

But since this is a game of sucking up to the king, and you don't seem super intent on lynching me, I suppose I'm fine :P. (well, among other stuff, but sucking up to the king to stay alive >.>)

If I were king I would show you how far sucking up got you.

In case it isn't clear: You would be dead.

Clearly you're more interested in saving your ass than contributing usefully to the scumhunt.

Viggo/Makeinu- I have found myself somewhat ill informed as to the situation to the north given the efforts I have had to made within the realm. I daresay a loyal knight such as yourself would make these matters his business to know. What is happening to the north, and how much do we know of those who slew our king apart from their allegiance to Fortinbra?

I have no such knowledge. Save that the Queen's assassin is in the employ of Fortinbras and most likely still disguised among us.

The hedgewitch is a possible candidate for such if the Queen was poisoned, as a skilled herbalist surely would know how to do that with surety. To my knowledge, her means of death remains unknown. The only oddity I can add is that even in death, her iron shoes could not be removed. That may be a clue of sorts, perhaps. SBC's behavior so far does not add any confidence that he was loyal to the Queen.

SBC has been the only one so far that is troubled by merely introducing himself. I think he's pretending to not know what to claim because he doesn't want to claim his real role i.e he's traitorous witch scum.

This is your case against me.

This is your 'introduction' :
Quote
Vivanius of Austyn is I, servant to the council and our late queen. I will do my duty as I always have.

Mine :

Quote
Hey there, I'm still trying to figure out what I'm supposed to be telling you guys, in terms of my background.

I had this same problem in Paranormal >.>.

Anyways, The queen called me up as the (Direct quote) 'So-called hedgewitch'. From what I can tell, I'm kinda hedgewitchy, but not actually a hedgewitch. Also, The queens words within my PM directly affects me or something, I'm not completely certain, but it seems I can just do hedge-witch like stuff without actually being a hedgewitch :\.

So complicated

Oh, Apparently, I don't know I'm supposed to be a hedgewitch too! What lovely turn of events!

You are attacking me for my introduction...
1) Do you see the difference in information?
2) Do you see why I would be cautious, since Vektor just had to make me a hedgewitch? By the way, I'm called to the meeting as the hedgewitch, but that may not be my actual occupation. My actual occupation is not stated. And it also says that I will carry on the Queen's will, and "My desire is to accept the queen's word". This seems like I am only a hedge-witch purely because the Queen asked me to be one, and in doing so, it gave me the power to be one...

Any questions?

It's clear you read my post because you're quoting it, but do you have any answer to the fact that you're bad lazy scum who's not hunting and is only interested in survival?

I mean, you don't have to answer it if you don't want to, but allow it to stand for the record of the court that you neglected to answer the accusations as soon as you were able to.

It seems that both of you are trying to direct attention towards me for flavor, That seems quite weird, considering I the post above about flavor was quoted from you.

Imp: I didn't see your question till now. I'd say that the hedge-witch is my gift. But It may just be my herald.

What part of me saying that you're not scumhunting gives you the idea that I'm talking about flavor?

Because I'm not sure if I've found any scum, but I am sure that I've found a third party, and I'd like to know if people would like the third party lynched or somebody who I'm not sure of the identity of.

Have you just been sitting on your hands this whole time? These are RV questions. Do you have anything more concrete to ask people?

I was waiting until everybody had at least posted something so I had a little to go on. This took a few days, which is irksome. I understand that flavour and mechanics are separated, but that doesn't mean that looking at flavour is entirely useless. For example, if somebody's flavour is that they really hated the Queen and then they killed her, this would be useful to know.

Also- it'd be just a little bit rude to have a game with flavour this well written and go the entire game without caring about it.
