Me thinks 10 sounds good!!

Crazy = 10, Unbalanced = 1 hopefully

Rank these themes, in order from best to worst:
Things that don’t make sense
Historical Disfigurements
Literary Characters
Existentialism
Authority Figures
Pokemon, Digimon, & Harry Potter

I would like it to be full of flavour. As much as possible.

Why no pre-game talking? Frankly I saw nothing to talk about. I had no role, Guardian was telling us to be paranoid, but what of?

Anyway I think that mass-claiming is not the right move at the start of day one. Guardian is not an idiot and will have most likely designed the game to avoid mass-claims being that useful.

Basically I agree with adel.

Vote: xyzzy

Paradox. Can you please answer the question about how a massclaim WILL be beneficial for the town?

I'm not going to vote paradox yet (not sure whether we're at 4 votes, or 5 votes with the weird voting mechanic).

He is by far the scummiest in this game so far. His refusal to answer the question about mass-claiming having been asked it three times now shows that either he is ignoring it or is not reading the thread properly.

His vote on adel, as has been mentioned, is slightly scummy. I think that he is not explaining himself as well as he would like to here. I think, but am not sure, his point is he was voting adel because massclaims are good (that's what I get from the last paragraph of 215 anyway).

Either way, if he doesn't answer the question in his next post I will be voting him.

So as far as I can see either shaft.ed or Lawrencelot have a double vote (both been on both wagons) or there is some sort of weird mechanic where after 3 people vote it skips a vote.

Paradox - that question could have been answered in many ways. I don't think the way he did it was particularly pro-town. (Refused to commit to anything in particular).

I don't like the way he has voted adel for saying that a mass-claim would be bad NOW, when he can't give any reason why it would be good now and states that we probably shouldn't mass-claim day one. Yay for contradiction.

@ Paradox: If you don't think that mass-claim is a viable option for day one, then why are you voting adel for having the same thought?

@ Adel: Do you think that massclaiming is likely to be a viable strategy at any time in this game? And would you support it?

I read adels I'm against mass-claiming as - I'm against mass-claiming now. Maybe that's just me. I've read enough of adel to presume that she wouldn't have such a blanket view of something that is a possible pro-town strategy, if you read her post 227 you see what I would call a pro-town answer to the mass-claim question. There is a time-line, some caveats and an explanation of how it will benefit scum now, and how that will be mitigated later.

There is a distinct difference between this and,
Paradoxombie wrote:I voted her because she was against a massclaim, and I thought/think that a massclaim benefits the town.
She voted someone because their actions looked scummy - ie they look like scum. You voted her because her actions don't look town (to you). If someones actions don't look like town you still have to explain how they benefit scum.

If adel is scum why would she be opposed to a mass-claim?

I think random ROLENAME choice would be best. At this stage of the game there is not really enough evidence to go on for town to have a clear scum-list. Given this I think scum are going to be able to influence the results more.

Sorry if I have limited posting in the next few days. My access at home has been cut-off (yet again).

edit: missed page 11 (duh). Reading cicero's post I agree that it is best to wait. However, if we do decide to do it, I want either popcorn or completely random, I don't think the condorcet list is good for town at this point.

Hey guys.

I'm really sorry I haven't posted in a while. I currently only have access at uni (posting from a friends place atm) as my access has been cut off at home due to a banned IP address.

The other option is that Guardian is reading along and has imbued you with that gift for random mod-funnery. I don't think we can rule out anything along those lines.

Unvote, Vote: Xtoxm


Now that we have the whole double vote thing sorted out I'll place my vote where it belongs.

@Xtoxm - Give a good reason for your vote on adel.

And I don't think it's the norm to say that you're removing the game from your watched topics. That's what makes me think Xtoxm is trying to mislead us.
What if he is just stupid, saw daykill and didn't think that it could be a ruse. I think this is more likely than him saying "Bye guys, I'm taking this off my watched list", and then reading along, just to get a few days worth of lurking.

I still think that Para could be fake claiming. If people aren't willing to string him up though we need to find another viable target soon.

I will not be voting for Adel, NabNab, Vollkan, cicero or shaft.ed today.

I think our best bit of hitting scum now (besides Paradox) is actually Lawrencelot. His Post 527 leaves himself plenty of opportunities of people to vote, has no semblance of scum-hunting and dodges previous questions to him.

For the moment I will leave my vote on Para because I still think he is the best lynch. However I will

Holy bejesus. That came quickly.

Well I'm not impressed by the fact that someone hammered without waiting when I explicitly said that I would be around today. I'm not going to bother defending myself now. If there is anything that can stop my lynch (governor role or someting) all I'll say is I'm Link - A vig. I don't know what shaft-ed's reference is to link in the previous post. If that is something the mod told him to make me appear like scum I'll be a bit pissed.

I think Para's reason to vote me was, again, very weak. Of all the people that were voting his vote seems the most insincere. Lawrencelot's hammer also rubs me the wrong way.

Anyway. Good luck town, if for any reason I'm still around tomorrow I'll do a lot more scumhunting.

Para wrote:Note the underlined part. It seems a hypocritical to go after Lawrencelot for leaving open opportunities to vote people, when he's basically doing the same by listing who he won't vote(therefore implying he'll vote for anyone else[as confirmed by his vote on xyzzy]). He's actually opening himself to far more than Lawrencelot who listed 3 wagons of preference.
I did not say that I would vote anyone else, what was implicit in that statement was that I would not vote any of the five people mentioned. These were for a variety of reasons, and I wanted to make it clear that if a wagon formed on them I would prefer a No-Lynch to a lynch on them. However, with anyone else I was still open to the fact that they could be scum, so if something came up later in the day it was possible that I would move my vote there, as I did with xyzzy as I thought his wagon may actually come to a lynch, as opposed to para who was remaining stale for a while, with many people refusing to vote for him.

I then stated that I was willing to move my vote to 2 people to avoid a no-lynch. Paradoxombie - who I had been voting for a while and Lawrencelot who I think has a distinct possibility of being scum now. This required that their wagons built a little though, because at that time neither seemed a legitimate candidate for actually being lynched.

I think I might understand your reasoning Xtoxm. My role is worded weirdly, I am apparently evil. I am a forced kill vig, must kill each night. However my win condition is definitely the town win condition. I can't explain it better than that.

I tried to kill Para because I thought, and still think he is the most likely to be scum. I have no idea who killed NabNab, he was playing pretty strong, I guess that many scum players would have been worried about him.

Neville is a Herbology expert though. And in the book (evil) Moody tries to get Neville to tell harry about the Gillyweed.

Yeah I'm a nerd!!

So I can definitely see Neville as killing with Gillyweed.

As far as I see we have to be very careful about what we do here. If we lynch town here we go to night with either 2 scum 2 town (scum win) or 2 scum 1 vig 1 other town. I know that I am town, I also (assuming shaft.ed is revealed town) know that lawrence is town.

This implies that one (possibly both) of Kison and Adel is definitely scum. I'm much more willing to lynch Kison than Adel at this point for the simple fact that Lawrence found Adel not historical disfigurement. I think that is the biggest piece of information we have to go on at the moment. I still think that the most likely remaining pairing is Adel-Kison.

I'm going to

What about that comment makes you think I'm scum?

I think that the overwhelming likelyhood (95% chance) is that that Kison and Adel are scum, however I still don't view you as 100% confirmed in this game so I'm still not going to discount you as being scum.

I want Lawrence to confirm to me that the plan remains to vig Kison tonight regardless of Adel's alignment. Once either that is done, or if he has decided I should target you I will vote for Adel.

Given that I have been given an ultimatum to take the right action tonight I think it is the responsible play to confirm 100% what Lawrence thinks the right action is, since he is the confirmed player and he also seems to have more information than some of us.

I'm not trying to argue with you about this. If you can put here the reason that you believe makes you 100% confirmed I will read through it, if I agree with you it makes the game incredibly simple for me, as there will only be two possible people who can be scum (Kison + Adel).

At this point refusing to do this has no benefit for the town. Why are you choosing to be perverse Xtoxm?

Xtoxm - you claim you are clear because:
Xtoxm wrote:You know I am town, I killed volkan.
But there are other options here besides you being town.

An absolute hypothetical here. Lets assume that there is something in Vollkan's role that says if he targets a particular person he blows up. Do you see where I'm going with this?

This is why you are NOT 100% confirmed. Even though this is INCREDIBLY unlikely, it is not impossible (as far as I understand).

I want to hear from Lawrence, to see what he makes of Kison's results before I comment on anything.

As far as I see it at the moment Xtoxm and Lawrence are going to have to decide between me and Kison as to who's scum.

I know at this point what I think, but I will wait to hear from Lawrence before doing anything.

I'm completely at a loss at this point. I don't know why my kill didn't work.

The odds seem to be stacking up against me, with Kison claiming the results he has (which I can say are definitely false).

The biggest thing that I don't understand though is how Kison's results fit so perfectly with what you guys did last night, and my target has done nothing. I think Guardian is playing funny buggers with me or something because I can't work this out.

What I can categorically say though is my role name is Link and I win with the town. I am also definitely a forced vig. Besides that I am totally at a loss as to what is going on.

I really don't want the town to lose when it's so close to winning now. If you choose to vote for me, I don't blame you at this point because that's probably what I would do looking at what's happened yesterday and today, but I will be really disappointed when we lose.

EBWOP:
If you are thinking about voting me, can you please wait at least until I receive some clarification on something from Guardian. That may shed light on something.

It pains me to see you do that Lawrence. If you lynch me today can you see town winning (assuming that I am town)?

Also where did your post restriction come from. The only person who targeted you apparently was Xtoxm. So is Xtoxm giving restrictions now too?

I can categorically deny that I targeted you. My target for last night was definitely Kison, this is why I am confused as Kison came out with his results prior to you announcing that you targeted me.

The only solution I can think of is that Kison targeted you and Xtoxm protected you. This prevented you from dying and also provided Kison with the result that you targeted me. Then to set me up today for a misslynch Kison claimed that I targeted you last night. However this is all speculation and still does not account for my ability not taking effect. I don't think I am going to understand exactly what is going on in this game until it is over.

For the moment I would like to request that unless you have decided between all three of you that you want to lynch me that you do not vote for me (as it seems if one townie votes for me scum will be able to quicklynch).

Thus if you really want to lynch me I would like you to put this in your post.

I think I understand what you are saying here. That is that if Kison targeted you he wouldn't have known which of the targets was your target. However if he had targeted you I believe he would have received the following:

Lawrencelot <--> Xtoxm
Lawrencelot <--> Rogueben

I believe this is pretty easy to work out who targeted who. The logical choice for Xtoxm last night was to target Lawrencelot. That leaves Lawrencelot targeting me. From there all he has to claim is that I targeted Lawrencelot and that implies that I am scum.

All this assumes that Kison is scum now, but I am more sure of that than I have been of pegging scum in any game I've played before.

I think Kison is scum with an ability, yes. The other scum so far have both had abilities so I think it is likely that Kison has an ability too. I also find it likely that as a member of the triforce he has a mystery role like the others did. In general, I think the claim of his role and its function is genuine but I think his alignment is existentialist.

Paraphrasing to avoid direct quotation:

I win if all opposing forces are gone or if another town member wins.

That is as good as I can get it without quoting direct passages from my role PM.

This is also the only way I know of for the town to win.

Napoleon dynamite is a movie Xtoxm, I think that is much more likely to be the source then a possible disfigurement Napoleon may have had.

I can't see anything that relates me to historical disfigurements.

Over the course of this game I have revealed to you everything that is in my role pm without actually quoting it. For your ease I will redo it now.



My role name is Link. I am the Saviour of Hyrule.

I kill people with sword or bow and arrow. I am a bit evil though so I must kill every night.

I win when there are no more obstacles to the town or when any other town member wins.



This is an absolute clam, paraphrasing as much as I can from my role without directly quoting.

I suppose there is no reason not to vote Kison at this point, at the start of the day I was concerned there may be a mechanic like yesterdays mechanic on Adel and I didn't think that I could afford a proxied vote on myself all day.

Vote: Kison

I asked him whether he got my kill directed to you. He confirmed that he got my PM and that my target last night was you.

I have been thinking about this and the only explanation I can come up with is that Kison is telling the truth about the condition in every aspect except for the fact that I am scum.

This means that scum win if I target all three members of the triforce and at least one of the triforce target me then scum will win.

Actually thinking about that it also makes sense as to why Kison didn't want to say what it was. If he did then the condition would be voided because then I would make sure that it wasn't.

Hmm yeah that's a good point. Well I don't know what the deal is with the scum win condition. It seems a little too elaborate and linked in to be made up by Kison. I don't really know what else I can say from here.

My biggest problem is that I am reading Kison's arguments and can't fault them, yet I know they are false. Unfortunately the points that I know are false are the same points which cannot be proven to anyone else (ie my alignment, my nightchoices).

The biggest thing I don't understand about this game is why my ability hasn't functioned properly. I have tried to hold the best interests of the town at heart all game, in particular by following the directions given yesterday.

I apologise for not posting enough over the last couple of days, and for the next couple where I will be VLA. If you feel that you can't wait until Sunday then I don't blame you for lynching me. If you are happy to wait those few days I will think about the game and attempt to present my case to you.

I doubt this is the case, but if you've played funny buggers with us Guardian then I'm going to be a sad man.

What do you mean?
I just hope that Guardian hasn't been a bastard in some way. For example me being an incompetent vig (this is mere speculation). I see this as unlikely but I will be sad if it's the case.

I agree with this. This is the main reason why I've been confused every morning.

I understand that if I am an incompetent vig that makes more sense in terms of what's happened at nights. But I don't like including roles like incompetent vig's in setups.

Hmm. I think this a point in favor of Kison scum actually. Had Kison not been scum then a mass claim would have caused the town to win because shaft.ed could have just said his town win requirement and that night all three would have targeted me. However with one of the triforce as scum, that would not have allowed the town to win through a mass name claim.

Hmm well I'm going to be interested to see what the result here is. I would have thought Kison would have been more happy about that if he was scum. I don't blame you for voting me at all Lawrence. It's what I would have done in your case.

Hey guys. I'm sorry about my play in this game it wasn't very good at all. My biggest problem with this game was that I had no idea what was going on. I knew that I was right but I had no way to prove Kison wrong, especially with his claimed results.

I also think that I had less information than anyone else. If you read my PM I had no real extra knowledge which most people had and I also had a non-functional ability. I think that is part of the reason why I couldn't understand what was going on as well as some others. Enough excuses though.

Props go to shaft.ed, Lawrence, Kison and DGB.

Thanks a lot to Guardian for running the game. I did enjoy it a lot even though I was confused the whole time.
