Open 461: True Love (GAME OVER)

[guille2015]

You have heard from the guards that this was all some sort of experiment. That it was finally closing to an end. It pains you to guess what that end might be. You had not seen your partner for months. You didn't even know if you'd see them again. Now, finally, after months of despair, your partner stands a mere 5 feet away from you. You both hesitate for a second before you throw yourself into a loving embrace.

After a blissful time that seemed shorter than you wished, you start to notice six other people in the room. They mirror your emotions and they had paired up with somebody else. You have never seen them before. Your partner tells you the same thing. How can these strangers have the same thing as you and your partner. They cannot possibly have experienced the emotions and pain of one you love so much. They could not have.

A guard enters the solitary room and hands you a piece of paper. You read it, and you are horrified at the prospect of the experiment. You lower you paper and gaze at your lover. You force a smile on your face and a tear escapes your eye. You've been with your partner for five years and will do anything for them in the name of TRUE LOVE.

General Rules

1. Do not talk about the game outside the thread, unless your roles specifically allows it.
   
2. Prods will be issued to players if they have not posted within a 24-hour period. Players who have been prodded have 48 hours to respond in the game thread before a replacement is sought. Saturday and Sunday will be considered a 24-hour period.
   
3. When you are pressured to reveal your role, do not copy my message. Use your own words. Do not quote anything I send to you.

[Om of the Nom]

Hi, do you guys want to claim lovers?

VOTE: Bitmap
YOU FOOLED ME ONCE, I'M NOT GOING TO LET YOU DO IT AGAIN.

[greygnarl]

VOTE: Bitmap
Choo-Choo!

[iamausername]

Hi, do you guys want to claim lovers?

Not yet. I think it's something we should do before the end of D1, but not immediately.

VOTE: Bitmap

[Salamence20]

We are not claiming.

VOTE: Om

[Salamence20]

I can also promise all of you that Im not planning on claiming scum on some gambit, etc.

[iamausername]

are you planning on claiming scum for any other reason? perhaps because you are scum, and overcome by guilt about the deceitful requirements of your role?

[Om of the Nom]

Don't worry, he's already claimed scum by voting me.
VOTE: Sala

[Salamence20]

Hey, nice OMGUS

[Om of the Nom]

Why thank you, I made it myself :D

[Salamence20]

Based on that, youre probably town.

VOTE: Lyman

[Moneybags]

What is this random voting nonsense. Stop that right now. If anything we should be voting as to whether or not we claim lovers. I'm thinking we should claim right away. Lets consider that half of the pairs are Town/Town, and the other half Scum/Town. How well do you know your lover? Because there's a 50% chance they're not even on your side. So lets just get straight to the point. Should we, or shouldn't we, announce who we're paired with?

[Bitmap]

We should all claim lovers after D1 once we get to know everyone individually.

VOTE: Om

I'm surprised Om hasn't outed his lover like last game. HMMMMMMMMMM!

[iamausername]

false dichotomy

as Salamanca and I have ably demonstrated, it is perfectly possible to give both a random vote AND an opinion on the subject of claiming lovers.

UNVOTE: Bitmap
VOTE: Moneybags

kindly take your pointless fearmongering elsewhere, good sir

[greygnarl]

Pretty sure claiming companion cubes isn't good. We could decide not to lynch a scummy player just because they're paired with somebody good. The fact is, if they're scum it doesn't matter who they're paired with.

[Malakittens]

Vote: Ommy

#12, Sala is that another RVS vote? Or is that serious? If the latter explain.

I think it's better to claim at the end of the Day rather than in the beginning.

UNVOTE: Lyman

I smell someone using my scum meta idea from last True Love game.

I spotted that too.

[Malakittens]

And yet you didn't vote him Om?
Bitmap, please link that for me?

[Om of the Nom]

Because it's not vote worthy, silly.
In fact I'm tempted to vote you for the vote on me, just like I did with Sala :P

[Om of the Nom]

So considering how the consensus seems to be that we will claim lovers either at the end of the day or on Day 2, how do you guys feel about discussing in-thread thigns your lover may have said in your QT?
