Alright! You, sir? How about a shave? Come and visit your good friend Sweeney! You sir! Too, sir. Welcome to the grave... I will have vengeance. I will have salvation... Who, sir? You sir!No one's in the chair. Come on, come on! Sweeney's waiting. I want you bleeders. You sir? Anybody? Gentlemen, now don't be shy. Not one man... No, nor ten men... Nor a hundred can assuage me. I will have you! And I will get him back even as he gloats; In the meantime I'll practice on less honorable throats... And my Lucy lies in ashes, and I'll never see my girl again. But the work waits! I'm alive at last, and I'm full of joy!

"He does look glum," said the Assistant Predestinator, pointing at Bernard Marx.

"Six years later it was being produced commercially. The perfect drug."

"Euphoric, narcotic, pleasantly hallucinant."

"Glum, Marx, glum." The clap on the shoulder made him start, look up. It was that brute Henry Foster. "What you need is a gramme of soma."

"All the advantages of Christianity and alcohol; none of their defects."

"Ford, I should like to kill him!" But all he did was to say, "No, thank you," and fend off the proffered tube of tablets.

"Take a holiday from reality whenever you like, and come back without so much as a headache or a mythology."

"Take it," insisted Henry Foster, "take it."

"Stability was practically assured."

God, I'm only going to ask you this one last time: Don't let this child die. Has he sinned against you? He can't have sinned against you. He's not even had a life yet. How can you take him and let me live? After all I've done... really, if you want someone to suffer, take me. We both know I deserve it. Selfish and weak. I have failed so many people. And I have killed. I'm not asking for your forgiveness. I'm just asking that you spare the life of this innocent child. Don't take him, take me. Take me, please.

The day my father Odin banished me from Asgard, I was bitten by a vampire and had radioactive waste dumped into my eyes. To make matters worse, my mutant ability to control weather activated just as I was hit by a blast of gamma radiation. Nah, actually, I got this way by volunteering for the Weapon X program. They promised to cure my cancer. And they cured it all right, by giving me an outrageous healing factor. Then they labeled me psychotic and tossed me into a prison lab. So I escaped and became what some people might call a 'mercenary'. I prefer the title 'cleaner of the gene pool'. And I've made a lot of good friends along the way: like Arcade. He's always sending me to his amusement park.

Grayson Burrows was a Terran privateer who operated around Gemini Sector during the final years of the Terran-Kilrathi War.
Operating on both sides of the law, Burrows started his career as a privateer using an old Tarsus ship inherited from his grandfather.
Following an encounter with pirates in the Troy system, one of his stray missiles hit an ancient Steltek drone, awakening it from dormancy and causing it to wreak havoc within the sector.
Burrows later hired himself to a New Detroit fixer named Sandoval. Being paid a mere 5,000 credits, Sandoval gave Burrows an alien artifact as a forward payment. Before the mission was completed, Sandoval was murdered and a lady named Tayla offered to keep Burrows out of trouble with the law, in return of running some errands for the pirates. Working for Tayla, Burrows smuggled Brilliance while getting involved in some skirmishes with the InSys militia.
Afterward, Burrows was directed to work with Roman Lynch, the leader of Gemini's organized crime network. Working for Lynch, Burrows was promised information regarding his artifact, but Lynch betrayed Burrows by sending his henchman Miggs to attack him.
After evading Lynch's forces, Burrows decided to seek information on the artefact himself, and Burrows travelled to the Oxford Library in Oxford System. The information he discovered there led him to the Palan blockade, then scouting new jump lines for the Exploratory Services, and finally to landing on a derelict Steltek base. There he salvaged a Steltek weapon from a ruined fighter, and soon found himself being chased by the Steltek drone.
Approached by Sandra Goodin of the Terran Confederation Navy, Burrows went to Perry Naval Base and met Admiral Terrell. Terrell requested Burrows' assistance in destroying the alien ship that had been following Burrows throughout Gemini by acting as bait for the combined Confederation forces in the sector.
During this mission, Burrows become one of the few humans to make direct contact with the enigmatic Steltek race. In exchange for information on where Burrows obtained his Steltek gun, the Steltek agreed to boost the power of his gun in order to destroy the Steltek drone.
In 2669/2670, the Steltek gun was stolen by Mordecai Jones, the new leader of the Church of Man. He was killed by Burrows near the uncharted planet of Eden and the gun was recovered.
By the year 2700, Burrows is still active as a mercenary and a wanted man. He still possesses the Steltek gun he recovered from the derelict Steltek base.

[Antihero]

i made the dead thread accessible to the public

[Antihero]

I found the FUD.

I realised while I was eating dinner just now that there was a big massive problem with my thought process from yesterday: I was treating LC as confTown because kaboom had confirmed the accuracy of his tracker result. Problem is, that doesn't mean confirmed town, that means confirmed

tracker

, and that's not the same thing, and I should have realised it sooner for two reasons:

1) I was just part of a review process where it was suggested that the scum be given a tracker instead of a rolecop to help them find Town PRs (I can't remember which game it is, but I think it's probably one that hasn't started, so even if I find it, I can't link the QT. It might even be one of mine, in which case it definitely hasn't started because the only reviewed game I've run was JCM)
2) Cabd pwned me with a similar trick in Cephrir's A Memory of Light

Here's where the FUD came in: LC seized control of the town yesterday with a plan. The only flaw in that plan is that it wouldn't work if I were a roleblocker. Thus was the seed of fear planted.

What happens today? LC claims to have been roleblocked, reinforcing the FUD instantiated yesterday.

I went nowhere last night. If I were tracked, I should be confTown right now. By claiming to be roleblocked, LC is keeping his options open to vote either of the other players should the opportunity arise. Depending on gamestate, he can try to kill either of us.

The original plan was to lynch kaboom yesterday, and Varsoon or I today. I fell for it and would have gone along with it quite cheerfully, unless I was designated as the 3p lylo lynch. As a scum plan, it would have worked flawlessly.

If I'm right, that play is worth 1,000 Magnificent Bastard points. It's very Seventh Doctor.

There's only one reason I'm not voting right now, and it's as follows:

Yeah, i have a surprise for both you as well.

Gimme surprise. Is it candy? I love candy.

^this was an amazing post. i'm still trying to figure out how lying cat talked you out of it.

also,

this game is a case study in why self voting is (almost) always a bad idea.

[Antihero]

there was no single lynch in this game which used enough time to extract info on players intentions.

this.

while ya'll did get lucky and hit scum day 1, the quicklynches ended up biting you in the ass

in fact, this game is also a case study on why quicklynches are bad.

[Antihero]

it's in the first post of the thread

alternatively, you can go to the "private topics" page from the front page of MS

[Antihero]

this was an amazing post. i'm still trying to figure out how lying cat talked you out of it.

FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCKING FUCK.

It's simple. I bought the argument that the setup couldn't have been balanced in a way where a D1 massclaim would have broken it.

nah, wouldn't have broken it. the scum roles weren't inherently "scummy" and the town roles weren't inherently "townie". the roles were nerfed enough to where i didn't think a roleblocker was needed.

the most powerful role was probably bert's (the delayer) especially once you got down to 1 scum. but, as lying cat pointed out himself, there really weren't many town with night actions to roleblock.

[Antihero]

it's too bad this game didn't happen last year.

i would have nommed you for most cunning manipulator for your 3 scum games i've modded

[Antihero]

no, i'm serious. you are a solid scum player (i forgot to mention that lover one where you were my man friend...)

even the scum game you lost, you weren't suspected at all and were nightkilled by your own scumteam (even after you pretty much outright told them you were the traitor in the game thread with a brilliant in-plain-sight crumb).
