Madness in the Machine

[mastin2]

Sign me up for dinner!

...Why is everyone suddenly staring at me like that?

[mastin2]

Hey, guys.
I'm a food-creator. It's in your best interest to not kill me, 'cause if you don't, then I can give you new food.
In short, I'm your best shot at not starving to death.
(Confirm.)

[mastin2]

Mastin how many pieces of food can you produce per night?

One, and I HAVE to give it away during the night, so it's not "I 'can' give it away but will horde it", it's "I must give it away".

Thus why it benefits you to not kill me.

I mean, I don't have enough food to live through the game, so someone's gonna have to eventually scratch my back or I'm gonna have to eventually rip open theirs, but I do intend to use this as often as I am able. Because each night we'll keep consuming food (and stealing it via killing), and I'm the only one I'm betting who's a source of NEW food.

[mastin2]

Clarification, my action's not compulsive, obviously. But I'm saying that when I make the food, I have to give it to someone else; I can't keep it.

Interesting strategy I thought of, though, was that I'd target people who I think will die: if they do, then my extra food should go to one of the killers, at least in theory.

[mastin2]

So Mastin, are you going to give food to someone tonight?

Naturally.

Also, there MAY be a way for me to create a second food, but I'm not entirely sure if it's actually creating a second piece of food or not.

[mastin2]

We could just agree to kill who ever posts last starting now and go from there.

Suicidal as it may be (since I often don't check Mish-mash every day), I would be fine with the kill-inactives, which is similar but not identical to this. Inactives are either not helping us via inactivity, or secretly lurking intentionally to avoid attention, both of which mean not in our best interest to keep around.

Sorry I've been gone for the last few days. If you read my blog (which, let's face it, nobody does), you'd know that I've been going through some seriously harsh times as of late, particularly over the weekend.

In this case, basically two all-nighters in a row doing nothing but studying to so much as keep my job. I joke all the time that I'm paid to sit around and do nothing, but truth is, getting a recert is absolutely BRUTAL, taxing both physically *and* mentally.

Good news is, won't have to do it for another two years; I passed. Bad news is, I've been left in a position where I practically siteflaked, albeit over a short timeframe, and it's going to take me quite a while to do "damage control", so to speak, on what my absence caused.

Soyeah, that's why I haven't been around for the last four days or so.

I'd say I'm giving this game my attention now, but that's a lie. It's already past midnight, and I've got SO much work to get done on here.

I'll do what I can, but...well, this is what it is. Comes with the territory. :/

(Also, spread the word. I might not get it out to everyone I need to tonight.)

[mastin2]

Btw if anyone has anything that can help themselves or someone else get more food without killing it would be greatly obliged if you could share XD.

*raises hand*

I do.

I didn't get to use it, but I can create food, on the condition it's given to others. (Said this before.)

Speaking of which, hate to be the bearer of bad news after my post just yesterday, but, uh, more bad news for my activity--
Today, one of my uncles died. I'm not emotionally compromised (basically the only thing I feel is sadness, but it's sadness for not feeling anything and not true sadness), and I'm not flying to Michigan for the funeral (I live in Washington), so I'm not gonna be V/LA in any definite terms, but, well, my mom IS going to the funeral.

And her departure will assuredly affect my availability in some manner or another. Just be on guard for it; this is me saying I'll probably be normal, but COULD have reduced activity.

[mastin2]

I can give you food tonight, ace.
I make food, rather than stealing it, so if the food thief isn't you, then we know it's one of {JDGA, Blackberry, Cheery Dog, PiggyGal15}.
Blackberry's role means it's unlikely to be Blackberry, and that presumably means that Blackberry has a counterpart, who is innocent.

...In fact, I'm strongly beginning to suspect everyone in this game has a counterpart. Micc and Jelly were Mortal Enemies. PV and Aronis had killing-based powers. (Alternatively, Aronis and I have food-making powers.) That would leave you having a counterpart, and me (unless Aronis is mine) having a food-stealing counterpart.

Today's the day of massclaim, guys.

[mastin2]

Mastin - why couldn't you give food the first two nights but now you are able to give food ... ?

Um, I always could give food. I've said this every day. It's just that nobody alive has actually received it.

And sure, seems like a kill Cheery Dog plan is good to go.

[mastin2]

^That.

Where's vonflare, anyway?
