Spoiler:
Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones
Tactical role-playing game for the Game Boy Advance
Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones[a] is a tactical role-playing game developed by Intelligent Systems, and published by Nintendo for the Game Boy Advance handheld video game console in 2004 for Japan and 2005 in the West. It is the eighth entry in the Fire Emblem series,
the second to be released outside Japan, and the third and final title to be developed for the Game Boy Advance after The Binding Blade and its prequel Fire Emblem.

Quick Facts: Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones, Developer(s) …
Set in a separate continuity to any other Fire Emblem title, The Sacred Stones takes place on the continent of Magvel, which is divided into five ancient nations, each with a magical stone said to be linked to the imprisonment of an ancient demon. When the nation of Grado begins invading the other nations and destroying the stones, protagonists Eirika and Ephraim of the royal family of Renais set out to gain allies from the other nations and halt Grado's conquest. The gameplay is similar to previous Fire Emblem games, focusing on turn-based, tactical movement of units across a grid-based battlefield. Core features of the game include permanent death for characters defeated in battle and support conversations that grant advantages to certain units in battle.

The Sacred Stones began development alongside Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance as a side project, sharing much of its visual design and mechanics with Fire Emblem while incorporating elements from earlier entries such as Fire Emblem Gaiden. First announced in mid-2004, it was heavily promoted in Japan. When released, it sold over 230,000 units during 2004, with a further 90,000 being sold upon its North American debut. Reception was positive overall for its story and gameplay, although many critics cited it as being too similar to its predecessor. The Sacred Stones would be the last original handheld Fire Emblem title until Fire Emblem Awakening for the Nintendo 3DS in 2012.


How will this help me in this game?

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but our votes do have consequences. Just like the words and actions we make online have real world implications as well.

Votes in this thread will eventually lynch someone, trick is we never know when the day will end unless it goes to deadline or the 4 tell us when they are ending the day.

I think that we need to be careful with our votes because we never know when we are piling votes onto a fellow townie, and depending on the composition of the 4 dayenders they could end the day early when a townie has the vote lead.

I think first we need to figure out how best to use the mechanic to help us as much as possible. Every investigation starts with one step, let's make this ours.

So you are saying he scum slipped by only including half the win con?

In post 147, RCEnigma wrote::facepalm: you didn't realize till FL pointed it out.

To be fair I forgot about the sample rolecard :lol:
You could have asked pretty much anyone in the setup the same question you asked me and some players would have paid close attention to the setup and their role PM and the setup. where as others would have missed it, and you would have wrongly scumread those who didn’t pay close attention to either and townread those who did.

I read it and forgot about it, like I didn’t really pay close attention to my role PM, until I just looked at it.

So, now I get the whole not town but not scum thing. :lol:
I agree with this. I had to go back and check my own to see what the second condition was because I didn't even look at that part of the pm. I assumed it was boiler plate stuff and glanced over it.

You are the second person to have this line of thought and are about to be the second to be shot down because this is a bad avenue of investigation. Did you not read the thread and just jumped on something current that seemed like it could be scummy to you?

CONJUNCTION

1: (introducing a conditional clause) on the condition or supposition that; in the event that.

If implies uncertainty
...

It's being used in a conditional way, like if A happens, then B is the result. Does if have anymore definitions or did you just choose the one that fits the narrative you are trying to birth?

You can't just brush this aside. I don't think you received a Town Role PM.
So again, I feel like you haven't read the thread or you'd know here that the mod has even pointed out that there is a sample pm in the rules.

Are you more likely to scour the rules for any little idiosyncrasies that you can use to your advantage as scum or as town?

that's two assumptions you've made, you'll need some evidence for both to satisfy occam's razor.
Exactly, and the "IF" issue is the first piece of evidence in my DrewVa case. It stood out to me and I thought I would share. If it's irrelevant to you that's ok. You can pull your evidence for reads from other places.
See the issue that arises from all of this isnt what to think about drew and "the slip" its what to think about you and the straws you are pulling to build a case on someone that you only have an idea of a shitty piece of evidence to pin to them. See why thats an issue for the rest of us?

Explain to us how a bus driver would allow someone followed to show up as visiting 2 places. Please. Then you can continue to be condescending.
