Well, I could be a vig who thought he was acting scummy. On the other hand, it could be Vector, who will hopefully share his thoughts on the hidden elements and, in particular, the reason that "effects" is italicized.

Alrighty.

So, I'm going to spew a bunch of ideas as to what might be going on here, but I don't really have any definitive suspicions yet.

First, I know that our mod delights in wordplay/rhyme, so I'm wondering if there might be some sort of permutation-based secondary meaning to our role-names.

Second, the title is a quotation from A Midsummer's Night Dream, when the Queen and King of the Fairies (i.e. Titania and Oberon) meet each other.  I'm vaguely wondering if there's some sort of even group splitting, especially because I looked at the front page at one point and only half of the players were bolded (don't remember which ones, sorry).

Third, I think this was made before KWN: DE ran, so the "all vanilla townies idea as derivative of that game" thing does not exactly fly.

Fourth, we have Lord of the Rings references.  Uh... I have no idea what's up with that, but I figured I'd point it out.  At this point, I'm guessing more "this is probably a fairly standard game, and the mod just happens to like books."

Fifth, my guess is that the "effects" thing means one of two things.
  a. Italics associated with flavor, effects associated with flavor, the word "effects" gets italicized
  b. The mod is trying to tell us that one sort of effect will be avoided, while another will come up.

My money is on a.  I think we're sitting around with a largely tame game that has lots of tags to trip us up, so unless something funky happens I'm just going to scumhunt.


Errol, haven't seen you around here much.  Of the players currently in this game, who would you prefer most and least as scumbuddies, and why?

[RedWarrior0]

Which LotR reference? I saw none.

Factually wrong.

Bold players have sent confirmation PMs, and should have received their role⁶ PMs.

The LotR reference (Nine for mortal men, doomed to die (9/9)) is merely one of the silly names I put on the playerlist spoiler for number of signed-up players. ("One Brave Soul"- I don't remember the other seven.)

[QUESTION FOR THE MOD(s):] Are PMs from individual players to a mod allowed?

Yes. It's unlikely to net you much in terms of useful information, though.

One notable exception- if you have questions on your current role, I can answer those in PM. Maybe. (Questions regarding lynch mechanics may go in main thread, preferably in something like bold.)

That's not what I said. Pay attention.

[PPE:] And you were wrong anyway. 

[RedWarrior0]

There. Thanks. I forgot about that.

Another question:
If you had an assassin bot that you had to use within the first two hours or else you would lose, who would you kill?

Is this just for Vector?

I would probably kill Org. For what should be obvious reasons by now if you've played a game with him.

Ah, I see that you don't delight in wordplay, rhyme, and puzzles at all!  No, and Darnom Pownsterson TOTALLY ISN'T a carefully chosen permutation of RANDOM TOWNSPERSON, right?

Depends on if the first two hours had seemed to turn up scum.  If I'd found someone acting scummy by then, I'd off them.  If not, then probably Pandarsenic--I can't read him at all.

[RedWarrior0]

I see that neither webadict nor Toony is in this. Pity.

I was not denying that I like those things. -,,- And yes, spoonerised RANDOM TOWNSPERSON. He is unimportant for all that he gave his life to alert you to the presence of BAD STUFF. *watches intently*

[Zai]

Why do you need them? To do scumhunting for you, scum? RedWarrior0, I choose you to die.

[Vector]

I can actually read ToonyMan reasonably well.  Were Webadict in this game... yes, he would be a stronger candidate for the assassin bot.

[RedWarrior0]

Nobody got the reference. 

[Vector]

Nobody got the reference. 

...

I did get the reference.  I just thought that you might actually be, you know, talking about the task at hand...

Rather than screwing around asking stupid questions because you don't want to look like you're vote-flopping, which is really what seems to be happening right now.

[RedWarrior0]

Whatever. Unvote Vector and time to employ operation Bastard Mod Truly Random Vote.

Mr. Pownsterson, I choose you!
