[Plessiez]

While the others bickered and argued amonst themselves, Thomas continued to work hard digging his escape tunnel. He couldn't post much, but then he didn't have to. All he had to do was keep digging and he'd be safe...

When the angry lynch mob came to kill him, he was long gone. They searched high and low, but could find no trace of him.

Thomas escaped to a tropical island where he happily lived out the rest of his days. Nobody ever found him again.

Oh, wait. No, scratch that. The lynch mob was in a hurry today, and they surprised Thomas while his tunnel was still only half-constructed. (Thomas might have made faster progress, but it's important to keep putting in support beams if you want a safe and stable escape route. Alas, his laudable respect for health and safety standards has lead directly to his painful death.)

Bad news for Thomas.

But good news for the town!

Thomas was a

Mafia Goon

[/area]

The town wins!!

Full role list coming up in the next post; but the dead thread is here if you're in a hurry...

[innocentvillager]

Oh lord

[innocentvillager]

This game man was just like the town arguing back and forth while the scum watched

Maybe Nani was right and we should've just lynched from the bottom half of that activity list or something

Also I was totally right about the two scum off BS's wagon ha

[Plessiez]

So, um. That actually ended a lot sooner than I was expecting.

In case people can't / don't want to check the dead thread for whatever reason:

Masons were ellabelle, Ellibereth and innocentvillager.
Goons were (obviously) BS2000, Gnomeo and Thomas.
Everyone else was VT.

I'll leave it up to the masons/mafia to post links to their QTs.

[innocentvillager]

Lulz Elli

Anyway this:

Mason QT:

Why couldn't the scumteam have been Whiskers talah and HouseLan lawl I would've rofl'd

But the fact that so much intense and somewhat extraneous argument erupted among townies and so much "I'm sure he's scum" was just hilarious

[Nani]

BS2000 and Gnomeo might be scum, in thar order.

GG

[talah]

Heheh, nice.

I did suspect Whiskers for a bit there, being *super-paranoid* about buddying from another game (or maybe super-aware). After his calm response to the Duck Duck Goose scum QT, though, rethinking was done and at

that

point it was town wifom all the way (even those last few posts of today were more about throwing shit on/suspecting those I thought might be town). Pretty intense as VT, wonder if Whiskers feels the same?

IV, you played an excellent mason-game, I kept thinking 'he's NOT town-telling' - which of course is perfect mason-play. I didn't believe ellabelle's mason tells were honest, so that was good mason play too. (Although I had the unnerving feeling that IV was going to claim mason at Day 1 deadline which is why I voted BS - probably due to those tells I didn't believe!)

Not a bad show town - before replacing in I checked out the setup link that Plez posted and it'd all been Mafia wins.

Nice play recruiting chess as a mason too, Ellib

And Whiskers, my last post of D3, was me trying to grab the NK away from you. I think if you'd been NK'd I would have gone into full meltdown, whether you were scum or town!

[Ellibereth]

Vote: Thomas

<3

vote: gnomeo

Unvote, Vote BS

peace

PROFESSIONAL SCUM HAMMERER

[Ellibereth]

Oh btw what happened with house/whiskers/talah
>.>

I didn't read a single post of that lololol

[Ellibereth]

But it would be amusing if, say, Nani was mislynched and Whiskers was the night-kill. Think it would be the first game I'd have seen in which scum were endgamed.

Would have died laughing.

[Ellibereth]

and I liked the votecount and flavor style lel

[innocentvillager]

omg Elli how are you so cool and good at this game

you didn't even vote HouseLan either the one hammer you didn't do

And you're a math major which is fucking awesome

Nani that was pretty good instinct too nice jobzs

[chesskid3]

lel yet no matter what he can't get nked

chesskid 2013

[talah]

Thomas/Gnomeo, take your pick.

Honestly I don't really care if any is town. We've got plenty of mislynches, and they need death stat.

This probably saved Elli from the NK.

Actually it was a ball playing with you two. (as everyone else!)

I've never seen a mod fill up a dead QT. Also Plessiez, your modslip broke the game wide open:

Gnomeo

[4 votes] (innocentvillager, Nani. chesskid3, Ellibereth)

After that it was

super-obvious

that Nani was VT.

And -ahem- despite my noobishness, I

did

name all three scum in my catch-up posts XD

Oh btw what happened with house/whiskers/talah
>.>

I didn't read a single post of that lololol

Ummnothing... that was an elaborate song and dance to get you to realise Gnomeo was scummy because you were voting.. um.. someone else I think

Actually Elli quite a nice job of being scummy with the 3-minutes-after-Nani BS hammer (opportunist-town-cred-scum) and the 'that was a dumb lynch' on HouseLan (looked like you thought he'd flip mason).

Gnomeo, if you'd defended a little more or pointed out scumminess in others, I probably would have gone down in flames with you, after the D2/D3 wagons.

[Gnomeo]

Well, people were constantly voting me without much of a reason, so I don't know what I could have done...

I was very close to voting BS myself near the deadline of day 1, but I figured he wouldn't get lynched anyway. Boy, was I wrong.

So I just sided with the other townie who was left out, lol.
In the meantime, I started pushing Thomas's lynch, but I guess everyone had forgotten about that by day 4. Oh well, GG town.

[Thomas]

Good this game is over.

[talah]

Aww, Thomas, but you were one of my favourite characters in this game

I reckon two or three more townie posts nicely timed and I woulda thought you were a mason and the masons woulda thought you were town-wifoming like everyone else.

Who did you think the masons were?

[Thomas]

I played poorly in this game and would have done the same as town. Actually probably the only thing that changed because I wasn't town was my read on BS on D1 which HouseLan caught. But this game did start out really boring and I never even got a chance to talk to any of my scum buddies before the game and I find that to be important (Gnomeo you can post the QT link if there's nothing in there you want to hide).

Anyway on N2 I was pretty sure that ellabelle was a mason. I was sure enough that I would have killed her but Gnomeo wanted to target one of the claimed masons so I decided a few hours before the deadline to kill chess because I felt he was more unpredictable and likely to vote both me and Gnomeo. When he flipped VT I had Elli was VT too. Going into N3 I still had ellabelle as a mason (she never contributed anything and got away with it) then I thought Whiskers was a mason too because of something he said to Elli on D1 about lynching one of him or chess. And then I had NicCage as potential mason and then decided to kill him since everyone had him as town. When I saw his VT flip I kinda gave up. Things would have been so different is ellabelle was killed N2 and I was pretty sure she was a mason because if I was town, I would have seen her as either a mason or scum and I knew she wasn't scum. But then I didn't wanna screw Gnomeo and I over if I targeted ellabelle who flipped VT.

Btw talah, you changed your signature at some point but did you have to remove that since the game was ongoing?

[Thomas]

^ That probably my longest post I've written all game.

[talah]

^ That probably my longest post I've written all game.

I like it.

Love to hear from Whiskers and ellabelle - obviously you guys played a game before.. Did you both have really strong townreads on one another?

(also would LOVE to do a btas with whiskers.. into the warped mind of walling heh)

Whiskers, did you get all three masons right? What about scumreads? And what were your thoughts on me and Ellib as scum? How much of that was wifom?

[talah]

Oh AND Nani, I haven't forgotten you, basically my strongest townread/mistaken mason-read

[talah]

In fact the name of the thread could be changed to "Why Nani"

[talah]

Oh, and, Nic. Ah solace. So I write eight hundred pages and get townread, you write eight hundred words and achieve the same. I shall look into this zen methodology.

(btw Thomas, I changed my signature but I guess didn't set it as default so have to tick it each post like below.)

[talah]

Btw guys, I'll be lurkin' for a bit and taking a break.

Grabbed a couple of shirts from the frontpage in honour of the experience. (do it you fucks, the design's actually really cool)

Anyway hopefully upon return will roll a proper scum game. Here's my current scum meta

:)
