The Call of Cutthulhufish ÔÇ║ÔîêGame Over!ÔîïÔÇ╣

[Stephoscope]

Hi everyone. I have some reading to do!

[Stephoscope]

Yo stepho read up but don't vote lol. Were testing your ability out.

Because of this post, I read my predecessor in iso before starting to read the whole thread (I'm nowhere near done that yet).

What I can say for now is that my predecessor's claims were accurate, and it looks like that's already been demonstrated.

Back to the read.

[Stephoscope]

VOTE: Vote: Nobody Special

[Stephoscope]

I didn't mess that up on purpose. VOTE: Nobody Special if it matters.

[Stephoscope]

Dunno what's going on. I'm specifically supposed to have an extra vote today.

[Stephoscope]

OK, I think I understand what's going on now.

If someone else votes Nobody Special, he'll be lynched, whereas he wasn't before when he was at 11. I need to be on the wagon for a lynch at 11.

[Stephoscope]

Yeah, I'm an idiot.

[Stephoscope]

And there's been an unvote too, so now it takes two more to get to a lynch.

[Stephoscope]

Pine's claim looks town but my two scumreads are both dead now which is annoying.

Vote: Stephoscope

- Because I have no recollection of him.

Perhaps because I replaced in after seventy-some pages?

[Stephoscope]

Would edit the above if I could.

[Stephoscope]

In the meantime,

@Mod

, please prod Occult, Stephoscope, tclawren, and, most of all, Metro, who hasn't posted in the thread in almost two weeks.

I'm right here. I'm away on weekends.

[Stephoscope]

Ok it is Monday. I expect a significant contribution from you since your slot has pretty much provided nothing this game.

Sure, here ya go:

UNVOTE:
VOTE: Raivann

There ya go. A vote for scum, that's as significant as it gets. I will indeed have more later though.

[Stephoscope]

VOTE: Stephoscope

I think that's all that needs to be said for the moment.

No, we must also discuss how eager you are to pursue the "easy" lynch.

[Stephoscope]

@Stephoscope:

Is your "if I'm not on a wagon, it takes an extra vote to lynch" power still effective?

No, it isn't. There is entirely different stuff going on today.

[Stephoscope]

Wow. Scum usually aren’t so blatant about claiming scum. Thanks!

1. Your predecessor did nothing of substance in the game.
2. You haven’t either.
3. Today you get called out for your lack of content.
4. Your response? Jump on the leading bandwagon with only rhetoric (‘he’s scum’) backing you up.
5. When I call you out on the blatant scummy behavior you label yourself an easy lynch and try to say I’m scummy for voting you.

Yes, your reaction is scumtastic.

My vote is in a solid place.

Sorry, I feel pretty darn clear. My previous ability that was proven wouldn't have been given to scum. If I wind up lynched at any point in this game, that's just silly.

[Stephoscope]

You have got to be kidding. This is your response? That you are ‘confirmed Town’ in a Bastard Mod game by powers that as best I can determine you were had Day 2 (? Forget for certain which Day) and would only make sense to not give a Mafia member in LYLO. I only have one thing to say on that idea =

Nothing to say about your ‘easy lynch’ scum-slip reaction? Thought not.

The minute we figure out that Magua doesn’t have double-voting power I’m so back on you.

Go ahead. Townies aren't dumb enough to vote for me.

[Stephoscope]

Good lord MoI talks about me a lot.

[Stephoscope]

Good lord MoI talks about me a lot.

Look, more non-scumhunting fluff from Scummoscope.

KILL IT WITH FIRE!!!!

Please explain why my post was "fluff" but yours wasn't.

[Stephoscope]

I knew the lynch at six was coming. I tried my best to call it, but the mod had the thread locked *immediately* after Surye's vote.

Last night I learned how many towns and how many scums are left in the game. Does anyone want to hazard a guess?

[Stephoscope]

I knew the lynch at six was coming. I tried my best to call it, but the mod had the thread locked *immediately* after Surye's vote.

You knew the lynch was at six. You were on the wagon, and saw Raivann brought up to five. You didn't mention anything, allowed Surye to perform what you knew was a quick hammer...because...?

Because I wanted Raivann to be lynched, of course.

[Stephoscope]

Because I wanted Raivann to be lynched, of course.

What's the god damn ratio? How many town? How many scum?

Settle down. I want others to guess. Might prove useful somehow.

[Stephoscope]

So you learned how many Town and how many scums there are. Too bad you didn’t think to include the other known factions like Delusions and Serial Killers in this list.

LOL @ you trying too hard. I know the breakdown by alignment.

[Stephoscope]

Steph can you explain what you are waiting for by with-holding that information

I'll give a hint. There are more townies left than others right now.

[Stephoscope]

OK...before the kills that happened overnight, there were eight players who were town and six who were not. That's all I know.

This differs from the statements I made before because of a combination of carelessness and making sure to paraphrase. I thought about making up stuff to try and save myself, but I'll probably wind up lynched either way and I don't want misinformation to cost the town later on.

Sorry

[Stephoscope]

It's mylo, and you don't want misinformation to cost the town "later on"? When do you imagine that later on to be?

What reactions were you looking for that you held onto this information? What did you learn from having people guess?

We are still going, and you don't actually *have* to lynch me. There's still a later on.

I didn't know exactly what reactions I was looking for, but what I learned is MagnaOfIllusion is scum, and I screwed up so I can't blame everyone if I'm lynched, but I will tell you that town loses if that happens.

I am Tom Cruise, town game-changer. If I worship Cutthulufish at night, I get a one-shot ability the following day, but the game also changes somehow.

[Stephoscope]

What more would you like to know? I paraphrased everything from my PM as best I could, and I have talked about the game changes in the thread.

[Stephoscope]

We are still going, and you don't actually *have* to lynch me.

There's still a later on

.

I didn't know exactly what reactions I was looking for, but what I learned is MagnaOfIllusion is scum, and I screwed up so I can't blame everyone if I'm lynched, but

I will tell you that town loses if that happens

.

I've bolded two portions.

Regarding the first bolded - why would lynching you later on be an acceptable option if you were Town?

Regarding the second bolded - Appeal to Emotion / Fear.

If you have any reason other than I'm scum because I've called you scum (yeah, OMGUS is great) I'd love to hear it.

You're fighting too hard for my lynch, which you probably know wins the game for you. And you're twisting my words. I don't want to be lynched, but it could theoretically happen at some point with the town, and I wouldn't want something I made up just to stay in the game wind up losing the game for town after I've flipped town and they trust me.

[Stephoscope]

So you should have had four abilities so far. What are/were they?

When I joined the game, I had a double vote, and it would take an additional vote to lynch.
The next night, I chose not to worship Cutthulhufish.
The next day after that, I had a reverse vote (which I did not use, though I would have if I were closer to lynch), and it would take one less vote to lynch.
And the next night, I learned how many townies were left.

[Stephoscope]

Also notice he's callling me scum but not actually bothering to vote for me. He has no vote at all so far today. Which psychologically says he knows I'm not his partner.

Great point. You're not my partner, you have that part right.

VOTE: MagnaofIllusion

[Stephoscope]

The next night, I chose not to worship Cutthulhufish.

Why?

Just a hunch. I thought the game might change for the worse.

[Stephoscope]

Yes, it's a scum tell to press someone you think is clearly scum. Oh, wait that's not right.

Good try, but you're *not* pressing someone you think is clearly scum, that's the point. You're opportunistically pressing someone you think can be lynched.

At nightfall there were eight townies and six non-townies, that's all I know. Twist away!

[Stephoscope]

And the next night, I learned how many townies were left.

Any flavor on this?

I heard it in my sleep from Cutthulufish.

[Stephoscope]

Good try, but you're *not* pressing someone you think is clearly scum, that's the point. You're opportunistically pressing someone you think can be lynched.

At nightfall there were eight townies and six non-townies, that's all I know. Twist away!

1. No, I do think you are scum. I clearly laid out why in posts yesterday and today. You can claim the contrary all you want but that doesn't make it true.
2. Twisting? Not in the least. You are the one who directly said "Lynch me and you lose". I'm simply showing how your 'numbers' and Appeal to Fear don't add up based on the limited knowledge we have of the set-up.

You are trying to win the game with my lynch, and I think you have tried too hard.

[Stephoscope]

So how do you know how many scum are left? sllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllliiiiip

Ummm hi I have already explained this. A careless mistake when paraphrasing my PM does not make me scum. It is understandable to think of mafia as town vs. scum.

[Stephoscope]

Stephoscope didn't claim very straightforwardly. Perhaps he should try again to neatly summarize his facts?

In my iso 24 and 26 I tried to be as direct as I could while still paraphrasing. What part(s) don't seem clear?

[Stephoscope]

He fabricated a claim to match the events that have already happened in the thread.

waitwaitwait where did this come from?

If I were scum, what would make me do anything but the exact same claim?

[Stephoscope]

Keep cool, keep cool. Use google.

@Stephoscope: I...you...that... Doh. Your claim isn't coherent. Why don't you quote the colorful bits (Totally legit), provide a N1, N2 etc. summary and parapharase the rest? And any mention of Scientology, for curiosity sake?

No mention of Scientology by name, but my flavor is that I appreciate strange cults, and this game involves the strangest of them all, so I definitely needed to be a part of it.

I'll look and see what else I can provide.

[Stephoscope]

He fabricated a claim to match the events that have already happened in the thread.

waitwaitwait where did this come from?

If I were scum, what would make me do anything but the exact same claim?

D2 (or 1?) your predecessor claimed it'd take an extra to lynch if he waddnt der. this was confirmed. d3 that disappeared and nothin happened. d4 rai got lynched with one less vote. d5 you take credit for d4 and say nuthin happened d3. You also failed to mention the one less to mislynch thing when the wagon was building which in itself was antitown as well.

You didn't answer my question.

And I wasn't being anti-town, because I wanted that lynch to happen.

[Stephoscope]

So you should have had four abilities so far. What are/were they?

When I joined the game, I had a double vote, and it would take an additional vote to lynch.
The next night, I chose not to worship Cutthulhufish.
The next day after that, I had a reverse vote (which I did not use, though I would have if I were closer to lynch), and it would take one less vote to lynch.
And the next night, I learned how many townies were left.

The only other thing I can really add is that the time I had a reverse vote, if the player I used it against had multiple votes, my action would only affect one (if one of you had multiple votes, stick up for me here please).

Other than that I think I've covered everything. My PMs were not full of flavor.

[Stephoscope]

I think I need to lie down.

LYNCH ALL LIARS

jk

[Stephoscope]

My PMs were not full of flavor.

Is it odd that I find this to be the hardest thing to believe?

It is indeed the case. I worship Cutthulufish, he grants me stuff, he talked to me at night once. That's literally it.

[Stephoscope]

Raivann's death had nothing to do with my numbers, MoI. And is it really not obvious (now that it's been discovered) that that rodent thing had something to do with those players (whether it's meaningful or not)?

[Stephoscope]

Furthermore worshipping Cutthulufish doesn't see very congruent with the Town win-con of the game.

You would think said person wanted Cutthulufish to appear. Which, as stated by Mod, means bad things happen.

This is actually a good (though false and contrived) argument. I don't know what your scum PM looks like, but hopefully there are townies who have similar stuff going on.

[Stephoscope]

Is this true, Stephoscope? Because when you finally reveal the information, you reveal it as "there were eight players who were town and six who were not". Do you have any knowledge of the breakdown of delusions or sk's?

I do not, and I apologize for screwing up. Again, I could have lied (or could lie right now!) and make things consistent, but that would be wrong.

[Stephoscope]

Steph, please answer my question in your next post.

I have explained everything I have done.

Hey Zach, long time indeed!

[Stephoscope]

Steph, please answer my question in your next post.

I have explained everything I have done.

Hey Zach, long time indeed!

Actually no you haven't.

Why does Town autolose if you get lynched.

How do you "know" MoI is scum?

Town loses when the number of mafia is equal to the number of townies--there's nothing special about my lynch.

MoI is scum because of how he was freaking out about the prospect of my lynch. I suppose I'd be excited too if I thought my team were about to win. I have to think a townie would have at least considered the possibility that I am town (which I am).

[Stephoscope]

So you don't actually have any concrete proof that your death ends it for town or that MoI isn't town?

No, and I haven't meant to imply that I do.

[Stephoscope]

Steph, please answer my question in your next post.

I have explained everything I have done.

Bullshit. I have knowledge of what you did last night, so it is best for town if you answer my question.

It is best for you that you read the thread.

[Stephoscope]

OK, I see where the hangup is. I didn't "do" anything other than worship. The first two times I worshipped, I gained abilities. Last night, all I got was the voice and there was no related change in the game that I was told of.

[Stephoscope]

My role PM explicitly states I win with town. I'm Tom Cruise, so I can't exactly prove I'm not delusional. But if I got the same kind of PM as pappums rat, I can tell you that he didn't know he was delusional and that he didn't know I was (theoretically) on his "side".

Cutthulhefish spoke to me last night and told me there are FIVE quicktopics in play right now.
