Mini 1748: ClownTardis Mafia - GAME OVER!

[Aristophanes]

Okay, gimme a half hour to get home so I can type this properly. On the bus and obviously not writing my thoughts clearly enough.

[Davsto]

We really need to organise some sort of wording to differentiate between referring to The Doctor (character) and a Doctor (protecting role).

I know it's not canonically correct, but let's refer to The Doctor (character) as "Doctor Who" all the time, to avoid confusion with the protective role Doctor.

Sound good?

Okie Dokes.
Also, it is somewhat correct, as in the originals, he was often referred to as Doctor Who. I'll restate what I was trying to say with this nomenclature in mind.

[Plottin Kittehs]

Everyone can be scum unless we find reasons that their not.

ew

I'll do some Who-themed RQS:

Neither of us have any flavour knowledge. I've picked up a a tiny tiny bit by cultural osmosis but not enough to understand these questions.

Is Persivul's first post

right

after someone's voting on him indicate his possible lurking?

Nah. With 2 week day phases, 3 hours worth of inactivity doesn't mean anything.

Re: Mala's catchup, I also liked Pers' response to me on page 1. I'm okay with the location of our vote. Vaguely less happy with his later content but nothing I can put my finger on tonight. I think I just want to see more from him.

This is newb town.

And no, it doesn't indicate that.

Why are you so quick to write him off as newb town? That post was an okay first push but I need to see considerably more scumhunting from him before I'd be comfortable making that assessment. This game has an experience requirement of 3 games, or the offsite equivalent. Therefore he's new to the site, but not new to the mafia.

The question itself isn't terrible if he's coming from a faster environment; what bothers me about his slot is the lack of other pushes in any direction and a few other newbtown markers that I won't say what they are yet because not handing out roadmaps on how to fly under my radar, but I'll mention them if they show up.

I'm just not seeing anything I can call town from this slot yet. I think if he is town it'll show eventually; Mala mods a lot of newbie games and about a third of my completed games are newbie games. I think some other players are either newbies or play with them regularly, so chances are enough of us will be able to read the slot eventually.

While we're agreeing on terminology, with a FA_Q2 and a Frozen Angel in the game it is going to get really confusing if we use the abbreviation FA for both of them. I can tell from context that Ari means Frozen Angel but I am probably going to get confused later, especially when I'm ISOing people. Can we agree to call

neither

of them FA?

FAQ and Frozen?
Q2 and Angel?


please.

[Aristophanes]

Ari can you answer the question now. thnx

Sure.

The original statement was ambiguous as it could either be Role or Theme related. I find it interesting that FA immediately assumed I meant role, whereas some others assumed theme. However, her wording in particular is also telling.

Basically, if you read the story post, it implies we are all Doctors, in different regenerations. Thus my counter question. What would 1) lead FA to believe Shiro is not a Doctor and 2) lead her to believe we are facing an outside evil, and not, say, a corrupted regeneration while 3) using "a" not "the" as the article precursing "Doctor."

Theory: FA is a non-doctor with a Doctor as a fakeclaim.

Let's rephrase this.

I was being ambiguous, somewhat, on purpose. None of it was insinuating Shiro is the Town Doctor though.

I said "The Doctor wouldn't lie" which could be interpreted as either a themed commentary or a reference to a role flavour of "Doctor Who" (I may shorten this to "a regeneration" actually.)

FA immediately questioned how I would know that Shiro is a regeneration. I find this interesting, as the story flavour insinuates that we are all regenerations, but that a select few may be up to no good. Or at least that we all appear to be regenerations.

This is where my theory that FA is not a regeneration, but has one as a fakeclaim, comes in. I think she may have slipped this in the way she questioned me.
In stating "a doctor" vs "the doctor" (read: "a regeneration" not "the regeneration") it means she knows there is more than one doctor in the game.
She is assuming there are other villains, when there is evidence to the contrary, making me think she knows more than she is letting on (thus being a non-regeneration with a fakeclaim). Assuming all the regenerations to be town, when we have no indication of this, and actually have some evidence against it, makes me think she is feigning being naivety.

[Aristophanes]

Plot, I'll change up my terminology when referring to them. Good call.

[Frozen Angel]

the f....

Its wrong!

i questioned about how you would know shiro is a doctor who (a town player) !!!!

[Frozen Angel]

I answered that when persival mentioned it ....


stop misrepresenting me

[Davsto]

Something tells me that Aristophanes is reading waayyy too much into something which we have already shown to be confusing to refer to, plus Frozen isn't native English speaker so she's obviously going to have trouble communicating.

[Persivul]

Gotcha.

So, why comment on it without really pushing it or taking a hard stance (aka, your comment on it without a push or a vote is noted).

It's not enough to warrant a hard stance. I mean seriously, do you vote or otherwise take a hard stance every time you note something suspicious? No, you don't - no one does. So why are you asking me this question?

[Persivul]

The Doctor would never cheat!

Please learn how to quote correctly. I didn't say that.

[Frozen Angel]

that was Aris post I don't know what happened there. sorry

[Aristophanes]

*Le Sigh*

I think I'm gonna drop this whole line of stuff. Obviously I'm just muddling everything up.

Just to clarify again though, Frozen, when I say a "regeneration" I mean one of the regenerations of Doctor Who, as in the character.
I realize this was what you said and have not been misrepresenting you.

[Frozen Angel]

I'm confused as hell :/

I need some sleep. I will try to translate what happened tomorrow

[KuroiXHF]

I'm scummy for an observation, eh? I'm used to the boards and it's been a while since I played, but I know what I'm doing. I stand by what I said and all I noted was an observation. Not a vote, not even a FoS.

And no, I won't get an avatar - not until I feel like getting one.

Oh, I see. Never mind then - I thought you were talking above me in the above question. Yes - that gets rather confusing

[FA_Q2]

Okay Mala's probably town.

That is all you have to say at this point? Not even a why?

This is newb town.

And no, it doesn't indicate that.

While I agree with your assessment that it is not likely alignment indicative, why are you answering this for pers? This would have at least generated a response from pers. You shut that down.

Searching for a replacement for MormonCoffee

[Rift Adrift]

Not_Mafia replaces MormonCoffee. Please welcome him!

[Not_Mafia]

Everyone's doing all of this RVS, and I say, no more!

I'll do some Who-themed RQS:

Favourite alien race?
Favourite Master?
Favourite episode?

Y u do dis?

I read The Doctor (capitalized) as a Doctor Who reference, not a mafia role reference.

Yo Plot - I want your hydra partner to read this exchange and tell me how I should respond to it.

Pussy. Respond to it yourself.

Worthless posts designed to look town.

"Not quite random" vote on a player who hasn't posted yet.

VOTE: Persivul

This post is terrible

VOTE: Rob

[Not_Mafia]

Hello!

[KuroiXHF]

Not_Mafia replaces MormonCoffee. Please welcome him!

I like the cut of his jib. Plus, his name must be indicative of his alignment in this game.

He seems like someone I can trust.
