As the final vote is cast the lynch mob begins forming around Iron Man, you hear ratcheting gears in the distance. In a futile attempt to change his fate he deleriously screems over and over "And now for something completely different! And now for something completely different!" But there is no new scene to cut to. While he continues to scream, you haul his flailing tuxedo over to the blood stained X on the floor. He won't stay down but you pin his arms and legs with his head just over the stain that used to be Darla.
the colonel wrote:Now, this man is behaving far too silly. Now, he's screaming like a madman and crying like a baby. Now, let's get on with this ten, nine eight and all that.
Iron Man almost gets out one last line as the 16 ton weight drops on his head: "And now for something comp!" His blood splashes up on your arms, chest and faces. You pull his now useless union card out of his breast pocket.
Iron Man, The Announcer, Night Target Negater and a member of the Character's Union has been lynched.

Now, everyone hurry along to bed, don't let these mortal screams interrupt your sleep patterns. Don't forget to submit your "night actions" in a timely manner ten, nine, eight and all that.
Since I'm LA over weekends. Night deadline will be for Monday. I'm not sure exactly when Monday I'll get to opening up the game (no earlier than 9:00AM PST), but the earlier you get your actions in the better chance you have of them actually counting
the colonel wrote:Now, let's all get back to work, people don't just lynch themselves you know, ten, nine eight and all that.
It was a cold night last night. The wind howled, and you swore you heard someone screaming along with it. It sounded like they were saying "Yes it is!" repeatedly in a blood curdling tone. When you arrive on the set you're pretty sure you found the source of the screams. A man in a suit is splayed out on the floor tied to a dish rack. His union card is stapled to his forehead with the words "No it isn't" scrawled across. You check his breastpocket and find a business card that indicates he was Mr. Vibrating the Argument Specialist. For some reason in this game he was a she going by the name of Mirth, kind of silly isn't it?
Mirth, Mr. Vibrating a Self-Target Role Blocker and part of the Characters Union is dead.
You glance over the rest of the cast and don't seem to find anyone else unaccounted for.
Day 3 Starts now with 13 alive it takes 7 votes to lynch or No Lynch.

Oh no...an insincere post from the local lurker.

vote: chenhsi
Indeed Chensi made 2 scumtells in one post. I can't believe he would really be sympathetic over either of those issues.
Say did darla ever speak of him or vice versa?

questions about your restriction
1) You get one non restricted post every 13. Correct?
2) Does the 13 count reset each day?
3) Do you sell cigarettes with that bird?
4) Can you save these unrestricted posts up?
Like if you didn't use one in the last 13 it will carry over and you get 2 during the next 13.
You can answer me with the following format since all answers are yes or no.
"You great Poof, your sister's buttocks gets more visitors than the Eifel Tower!" Now of course that is just my insulting/joking way of saying that I chose to speak to you last night about my search to quench my addictions. I mean you know offense with those sayings, do not sick the constable on me. The reponse I got from you was differently organized than the one i got from Elvis so I hope you still got it. Also I didn't ask you the same exactly worded question as I asked Elvis. Can you

Also internet what response did you send to whatever it is you saw me ask. What I got was something simular to the phrase "Your sister's buttocks gets more visitors then the Eifel Tower", which is why I made that joke/comment. Be sure to

both what you got from me and what you said back so no one gets mod killed. I am guessing you ain't got cigarettes for me, correct?

I know these views aren't popular, but I have never thought of popularity.
Azimuth wrote:In that case, do you prefer a guitar, castanets, a bowtie, or a motorbike? Or none of the above? More I dare not say, lest you do something awful to the player who guesses the exact role.
These posts worry me, especially considering that there is only one post between them, in which time he changed his position quite dramatically.
Azimuth wrote:1. We lost the cop? Ouch. And there's probably a cult? Double ouch.
Complaining about a bad night is traditionally a scum tell.
I notice that he has never done any scum hunting of his own, only followed what the town has been saying and asking an occasional question. This makes me lean to the scum side.
Chenhsi
Plays the newbie card WAY too much. 11 of his 43 posts are more than one line. He isn't lurking exactly, but he's about as helpful as George Bush when a war is on.
Elvis_Knits
Seems to have some problem with Strappado, but it does seem well founded, however she does not seem to be scum hunting apart from chasing down Strappado.
Farside22
Seems very pro-town to me, quotes me a lot saying QFT, which makes me think that maybe I am getting my points across. Her hammer of Iron Man was well reasoned, and I think that she is more town following that.
JordanA24
Changes his vote almost every post. Drops his suspicions very quickly especially in the case of SpyreX, who he said he thought was scum as well as DarlaBlueEyes, yet never revisited the suspicion later.
Killa Seven (Rogue Shenanigans)
I hate people who play like this. It's very hard to get a read on him.
Muerrto (Bogre)
I really think he's protown for some reason, but it seems that most of out scum hunters are dead. He seems more interested in having all the facts before he acts, but he does it in a pro town way. Please PLEASE scum hunt more.
Pokerface
This guy is my pick for most pro town townie. My only complain is that he first said that he had a hard time believing there were two French Taunters, but when DarlaBlueEyes flipped scum, he seemed to drop that point. I would like to see it revisited.
SpyreX
He seemed to turn on his scum hunting when DarlaBlueEyes claimed French Taunter, but afterwards it seemed to die off gradually. I am heavily concerned that he dropped his suspicion of Strappado, when from his perspective, she caught him in a lie.
Strappado
I am really suspicious of her unvote of DarlaBlueEyes, when someone is counter claimed, it is standard procedure to lynch one of those two, not chenhsi. I also don't like that she has supported the lynch of people with post restrictions.
TheInternet
He managed to miss the entire DarlaBlueEyes lynch, and ignored the chenhsi debate, he is participating only by pushing the Iron Man lynch from day one.
TheSweatpantsNinja
Posts very little of actual content, if he were to participate more I might have more of a read, but this is all I have to work with.
Voting Patterns
As a side note, I find that someone who is not voting for someone by the end of the day to be quite scummy.
Day One:
Luigi Gangsta
,
Chenhsi
, Strappado,
Azimuth
Day Two: PokerFace,
Iron Man
, SpyreX,
Azimuth, Chenhsi
Noticing that neither of the two were voting by the end of
either
day, makes me heavily suspicious of the two.
I will not vote until people respond to this post. Then I'll act based on reactions and my reads. Finally done.

Wait... can we talk about what happened yesterday with IM? Didn't some people say that IM was lying about his night action or something and must therefore be scum??
Talk nerdy to me.

K7 said his action went through. Spryx didn't target him so there was only a doubt based on the fact that there could be a scum RB and I say scum because a townie would have admitted to RB Iron Man.
Sarcasm is just a way of saying how stupid you think someone is but in a more polite way.
It's scary that I agree with LG on some of his choices. Mine was just a gut check moment especially with the internet and Azimuth with their post. I will go back and highlight a few things that caught my interest with these 2.

SpyreX

I thought I caught her in a lie, until she explained what her role did and, then, the results she got made sense. I think this is further "confirmed" by Mirth turning up Mr. Vibrating who was one of the people strap saw come to me that night.
As for the scumhunting - this game is, obviously, power role heavy and I know I've been focusing more on the interactions of the power roles and how that influences the game. I'm going to give a reread on the players regardless of the other stuff.
However, with Iron Man turning up town, that makes me question the series of results yesterday.
Let's play through some scenarios:
If K7 is town:
Scenario 1: Ironman's action went through.
- Ironman's randomizer randomized to the same results K7 put in initially
Problems: The chances of that are low. How would a randomizer work with K7's role that has two "values" to it? (Would it have changed PF, Strap, both?.
- K7, actually, was RB'd.
Problems: PF saw Strap.
Secnario 2: Ironman's action did not go through.
- Ironman lied about it going through.
Problems: Why lie?
- Ironman didn't know it was blocked.
Problems: Few, in comparison. I have no idea if there is RB flavor.
if K7 is scum:
Scenario 1: He's not lying about his power.
- K7 did exactly what he said he did.
Problems: This means IM was RB'd and either K7 is ballsy or there is another scum roleblocker (if DBE was telling the truth) and K7 knew it.
Scenario 2: He is lying about his power.
Problems: The only way this would work is if PF was also scum.
So, I'm weighing if K7 is scum (and did what he said) or if IM was blocked and didn't know it.
That out of the way.
Chenshi is really bothering me. He manages to be here this fast after the thread opens (and I didn't get a thread open notification, so that means he was watching it) and manages to throw down two scumtells and, still, doesn't provide content. This IS NOT lurking in the sense of not paying attention to the game. It is willful.
Alright, here I am. To Pokerface, yes I did receive a message I presume was by you. It mentioned 5 pustules on the nose for the skunk you own (paraphrasing, of course). I'm sorry, but I didn't have any cigarettes. I was also visited by the bridged keeper, who asked me if I was mafia, if I was in a cult, and if either, who my partners were. He mentioned the punishment, as usual. I answered truthfully, namely no to all of them. However, I think that these questions make it more certain that he is protown, as he would not need these if he was scum, and this would make a poor WIFOM, as if he was mafia he could just never claim. This supports my theory that the questions are chosen by the bridgekeeper himself.
To Lord Gurgi, I'm sorry that I appear scummy to you, It's just the DBE lynch moved to fast for me to get the replies I desired, and I jumped at Iron Man because his testimony had some massive holes that he could not patch( why he targeted anyone, why it didn't work) and didn't want to lag out like on DBE, and you'll note that I was one of the last to vote, but not the hammer, which is not a position scum usually take. The reason I didn't get in on the chenshi debate is because I'm opposed to lynches because of lurking and thought we had a much stronger lynchee in Iron mian, though he is looking scummier now.
And lastly, I can't quite understand exactly what Mirth's role did, and I would like to know the targets and results of those who have already claimed (SpyreX, Strappado, and Killa seven), to see if we can get more info.
Well, I have no idea what Mirths role did. My -guess- is that she picks a target and roleblocks them IF they targeted her? (kind of a lame role). The only other thing I can think of is she just is untargetable?
Now, with me, I cant say. Apparently I targeted strap and strap targeted me, so... I got nothing if my power actually worked or anything like that.
The Internet wrote:I think that these questions make it more certain that he is protown, as he would not need these if he was scum, and this would make a poor WIFOM, as if he was mafia he could just never claim.
While I'm not saying the BK is scum or town, I'd say assuming he's town because of his questions is bad WIFOM itself. He did ask if you were cult and who your partners are so he could be scum. He also asked if you were scum and who your partners were so he could be cult. He could also be town checking both.
Still seems like a ridiculously powerful role.
Not suggesting this per se but someone might wanna think about lying if the question is too powerful an answer(like what's your ability) to see what happens if they lie.
