I stood right by the tracks, your face in a locket.
Good girls, hopeful they'll be and long they will wait.

Song requests are still always welcome; just send a PM! ʘ‿ʘ

[Elyse]

What the hell is your song then

[DarkLightA]

My song is

I knew you were trouble

.

Aaand that's gonna get me lynched isn't it.

[Elyse]

Not that I expect the song to completely tie into the role since Anti's didn't (mine does, fyi) but for something as strange as a "paranoid dog owner" I would expect, you know, SOMETHING flavor-wise that would make that make sense.

Lol that sounds like a cop or scum to me.

Before we lynch DLA, if we want to, ika has to full claim.

[Bookitty]

My song is

I knew you were trouble

.

Aaand that's gonna get me lynched isn't it.

I think the Paranoid Dog Owner claim was the clincher myself.

@Elyse: Mine too.

[DarkLightA]

Bulge seemingly picked songs attempting to get a scum role. Blank Space was the first choice and that wasn't given. The rest were:
3. We are Never Ever Getting Back Together
4. Style
5. Picture to Burn

There's no point sugar coating anything. The flavor makes me look scummy, even I'd agree to that. But Bookitty is looking really bad from my perspective.

[Bookitty]

DarkLightA: Do you think it's a good idea to lie to town? Why did you do that? What did you hope to gain from it?

How do you know what songs The Bulge submitted as choices, please?

[Elyse]

Nah I think Boo is town.

I'm trying to figure out if I believe you or not. I don't think I do but I want other people to chime in and have ika claim because I might be thinking too narrow-mindedly.

[DarkLightA]

DarkLightA: Do you think it's a good idea to lie to town? Why did you do that? What did you hope to gain from it?

I'm pretty sure I answered this before. I was trying to give Ika as little information as possible in the hopes that if he was scum he would make a fakeclaim that I could contest.

How do you know what songs The Bulge submitted as choices, please?

They're quoted in my role PM.

[Empking]

The lyrics and what we know of the role follows, so I'm inclined to accept DLA.

[Bookitty]

They're quoted in my role PM.

Okay, I'm going to say that's not alignment indicative because that could be true for replacements. It was not the case in my role PM, though. I got my second choice and no mention of my other choices was made.

There was no compelling need to lie. You could have said nothing. You chose to provide false information to town and then backtracked.

Nothing you've done today has made sense given your claimed motivations.

We have a little less than five days til deadline. I'm willing to go with Elyse's plan and wait, but I want you lynched today.

@Empking: How do you figure?

[DarkLightA]

For the record I think scum is within these songs:
Mean
Dear John
Cold As You
Should've Said No
Bad Blood
Tell Me Why
You're Not Sorry

[Not_Mafia]

Assign songs to players using undisclosed methods/amounts of randomization.

Distribute alignments randomly (alignment ratio pre-determined).

With Cephrir's help, build roles for players based on alignments and song lyrics (with or without context).

[DarkLightA]

Bookitty, what bothers me about what you've said today is that there's no critical evaluation. Especially those posts with several cases look bad to me. They're basically "It could be this: Case A... If that doesn't make sense, it could be this: Case B... Or maybe Case C..."

You're firing bullets at me rapidfire. You've given me *no* benefit of the doubt, on the contrary you're over-eager to make me look as bad as possible.

[DarkLightA]

Ooh, look at that.

[Elyse]

Ok so song doesn't factor into alignment but it does factor into the role.

I'd like to hear Empking explain how it fits.

[DarkLightA]

"I was in your sights, you got me alone. You found me. You found me-e-e-e."
"You took a step back without me. Without me. Without me-e-e-e-e."

"Cause I knew you were trouble when you walked in
So shame on me now

Flew me to places I'd never been

Till you put me down oh"

[Bookitty]

You lied to town by your own admission. It was not until you claimed not-tracker, however, that I became certain you were not telling the truth. I was right, too.

I explained why I didn't believe you and Ika targeted each other; statistically, that's REALLY improbable given that neither of you were especially noticeable Day One.

Your partial claim meant that the only real possibility other than some odd tracker role was self-watcher. I know that this is part of my role. I guess it's possible that there could be two of a kind in the game. But lying and claiming not-tracker looks to me like an effort to elicit a counterclaim, something you succeeded in doing.

Your claim was bungled. Your role name looks like the opposite of what town flavour ought to be. Your claimed motivations don't mesh at all with your actions.

You breadcrumbed a role that makes no more sense than me pointing to an early post of my own and saying it breadcrumbs "Veteran of Mafia" because I criticised NotMafia's "Vote On Me." It is meaningless. You could pick just about any three letters and fit some nonsense rolename to them. You then said you wanted to see if Ika had spotted the breadcrumb -- REALLY? Does ANYONE believe that?

It's the combination of all these things that seals the deal for me that you are scum.

[Bookitty]

Flew me to places I'd never been

Commuter?

[Soren]

VOTE: DarkLightA

Regardless there's too much overlap with BooKitty's role and his Elyse push is still absurd and scummy

What Elyse push?

[DarkLightA]

You then said you wanted to see if Ika had spotted the breadcrumb

WHEN THE FUCK IN GOD'S NAME DID I SAY THAT?

I'm really tired of you making up shit.

[Soren]

Unless you mean Reflexive Tracker and you would have been told if ika targetted anyone else aswell, you're a self watcher

What, eh, huh? What makes you think ika targeted someone else?

My role is a self-tracker. I passively track players who target me.

Can you explain how this differs from a self-watcher, please?

My role PM says I passively track anyone who targets me.

Wouldn't that be the same as a self-watcher?

[Soren]

Just realised that Bookitty and DLA are both kitties :3

[DarkLightA]

You know Paranoid Gun Owner is a town-role, correct?

Flew me to places I'd never been

Commuter?

Again, you're working hard to provide any possible source of doubt.

[DarkLightA]

Wouldn't that be the same as a self-watcher?

We've been through this. They're subtly different in that I would presumably get information on any other targets of Ika's. Without any multi-active-roles, they're probably effectively identical.
