Yeah.

Though honestly, if Vedith is Scum, and I'm wrong again...oi vey. I'll have just about no confidence left in myself. >_<

Tape 6, The Red Lake:

"Some say when a red sun sets on the lake you can see a dark figure down below. Some say it's yourself drowning at the bottom."

(I was at that lake at dusk when I went to their empty town but there were no shadows to be seen at the bottom - only my reflection asking me what I was doing wasting my time putting together this great townwide-conspiratorial fairytale."

"No more than a trick of light flashing off the ripples of wind I say."

Vedith (6) - grapes, Elbirn, LicketyQuickety, Empoleon Bellapatre, Klingoncelt, Suzune

Elbirn (3) - Firebringer, Vedith, VysePresident

Not voting: BlankFace

Vedith was lynched, Samuel Lech,

Human

Spoiler: Role PM

It is now Day 4!

With 9 players alive, it takes 5 to lynch.

Not sure. I'm suspecting it has to do with his venge kill. You should have one, something to do with fangs?

*eyeroll* If I can't determine the source of the shot and the alignment of SM, my vca is useless.

VysePresident · Post Post #1307 (ISO) » Fri Oct 02, 2015 6:30 pm

His flavor doesn't mesh with the known scum vengekill. I'm assuming he's Town because of that, but largely because it's not hugely relevant to my thoughts at the moment.

Firebringer · Post Post #1308 (ISO) » Fri Oct 02, 2015 9:29 pm

I said Vedith was bad. Maybe I should have spammed that shit or something.

Anyways Hey Titus!! How are you?

Also, I said these tapes are practically worthless. They basically got us to lynch a townie because he used them.
So stupid.

VOTE: Suzune
I feel confidant on this one, basically all Suzune has done was theory craft on tape usage, and then sheep votes.
Suzunes scum reads were completely lacking except for the one on me, which didn't even bother making a good case of at all.

VysePresident · Post Post #1309 (ISO) » Fri Oct 02, 2015 9:42 pm

Nope. I might vote you first, actually.

But there's someone I've been trying to get for the longest time, and I'm darned if I'm not finishing this, unless he's really wows me.

VOTE: Elbirn

I'm teasing you a little, but right now, Suz is a decent read on my part, so no, not voting her.

VysePresident · Post Post #1313 (ISO) » Fri Oct 02, 2015 10:39 pm

Mildly curious what the tapes have to do with anything?

Are you talking about that end day thingy where I sent Vedith a tape asking him to vote Elbirn, and he seemed to think it was a guilty at first?

Titus · Post Post #1314 (ISO) » Sat Oct 03, 2015 3:26 am

VOTE: Firebringer

Tapes have usage. If I do my VCA, I would likely tape it, so if we lynch sum it doesn't die (supposing Vyse's statement is accurate). Plus, we can play telephone with our reads. Many uses.

"You know when she paddled out to middle of the lake in the canoe, I know splinters dug into her hands. I remember taking that weathered canoe myself few years back - had to where gloves."

"Wasn't only splinters that dug into her then either."

"Hmm, I guess you could call her the last victim of it all."

"Well I better go back out, gotta keep diving."

"So you haven't found her yet then?"

"Nope. There's a lot of junk at that bottom of that lake to sift through. But I'll find her. And then we can give her a proper burial."

"There's a lot of junk at the bottom of my heart."

"You know they say you can hear her, when the moon is full, screaming so sweetly you couldn't be sure the sound was even human. Don't mistake it for a night owl."

"Or loons."

"Or loons; we have no more birds in these parts, all fly away to a less dangerous climate."

DEVILS:

Stella Decci

Caring much for her siblings, despite being the middle child, she watched out for the both of them wether they wanted it or not. She had to. She was the smart one. Maybe one day they wouldn't need her protecting them? Then maybe she could slip down to sleep comfortably, and the nightmares would no longer break out in sweats to form pools on her bed, as if she needed to add the fear of drowning to her list of worries.

Red Devils

Elbirn & grapes

Reveling for the blood left in their wake, devils feast upon humanity. They tear. And never stop tearing apart until the dreams humans labored into existence crumble into dust. Grinding teeth grinning, they are as a squall of the coldest water crashing upon a flock of loons still learning to fly.

"A family can be fashioned of such thorny qualities and overt nuances as long as a common ground can be established."

: You will be teaming up with the White Ghosts Klingoncelt & Suzune to consume the humanity.

"The spray travels further the greater the intention."

Leona Mirza

All she wanted was money, for what it symbolized, the freedom and power, a key to all the locked doors put up in front of her. She had more faith in money than people who constantly let her down. Living paycheck to paycheck, her foundations were constantly sifting in the grains as threatened as they were of washing away. She'd have to build those foundations with a stong wood so that she could finally escape this crumbly cabin.

GHOSTS:

Cecil Updin

He'd show them. He was clever. They'd soon find out just how clever he could be. He would laugh and laugh. And they would be humilated then, when they had no choice but to raise him high up on their shoulders, once they knew. He'd wait patiently, like a mountain taking in the footfalls of travellers, allowing them to create their own paths, but once they were done he'd still be standing tall, unmoved.

White Ghosts

Klingoncelt & Suzune

Much more patient in evil, hiding behind eyes, hoping the possession goes by unnoticed as echoes seep into the souls of humanity. As beasts beneath a waveless surface, from the depths of the blackest liquid, they bubble up in the shadow of boats, disturbing the footing of such occupants.

She liked being shy. Why was being herself not good enough? So what if she never did anything memorable. That can be saved for other people who can handle the responsibility. She would not let her self-worth be defined by what someone else thought.

Olivia Hamilton

So much faith in others yet prudence suggests saving some faith for herself. There is only so much of a room you can light up, so much a bulb can take before burning out, so much her nerves were wired to handle. She often needed a way to relieve stress at the end of a day in whatever way was convenient.

His daughter's death had been ruined, the light of his life disgraced, his pride and joy could not find peace even after dying so unexpectedly at a young age. Red-hot anger was pulling him beneath its waters, a threat of vengeance and violence, and if only he wasn't so spineless he could give into the pull, do something to restore her honor, other than floating around these specks and fluids of practically nothing he had left.

He was afraid of being rejected again, knowing full well his ego's inability to cope with disappointment coming both from others and himself. It was far easier to close off, hate, to hide the fear from others, to escape from the fear himself. He was beginning to fade. Slipping away from his own sense of self. He was nothing but leaves in the wind.

Spoiler: Actions

Lynch Flips in this game cycle from No Reveal -> Name and Alginment Only -> Full Role PM reveal

So D4 you would've had another Burnt Beyond Recognition flip

Since both the town vengeful and reviver died right away scum could've won much earlier if they had used their shots, but I let it play out because as long as scum was being cautious with their shots there was still a miraculous chance town could get a scumlynch before shots happened.

Had two minor mod errors this game:

First the vengeful kill should've reset the votecount at the time, but it didn't have an impact on the game so I didn't bother to change it after the fact.

Second was when vedith was sent a tape and I should've notified BlankFace rightaway. I doublechecked and was like okay BlankFace is watching Morning Sun and firebringer, no vedith I'm good. I just didn't put it togethr that vedith replaced Morning Sun.

I want to continue the story in (still have stuff I want to tie together) with a micro next, followed by a large theme. The games will still be nightless but I will be switching up mechanics between games.

Dead Topic
It's up to scum wether or not they want to release their private topics.

Good game everyone. Sucks that we lost it there, that lynch pinged me pretty hard for Suzune. But Grapes was also playing super well so I would have never gone after him. GG Scum, well played.

Elbirn · Post Post #1323 (ISO) » Sat Oct 03, 2015 6:07 am

Aye, this was a good game. First time playing scum in a while and I felt I did pretty awful.

Klingon, my push on you day 1 might not have been the most calculated thing ever. I always try to establish strong stances on people, and I couldn't put all my scummates as town, plus some distancing blabla, so a hard townread for grapes and two scumreads for you and suz. Hence my crappy suzune vote, before switching to you. I didn't want to push a lynch through, but I wanted to look busy and thought if either of us were eventually lynched it would help the other. I didn't really expect vyse to jump down my throat for it the whole game, but I'm glad he did because it gave you a lot of cred while also not generating enough pressure to get me killed. And if it had, that would have been fine because I was our teams weakest link and I also was the vengeful, and imo it would have made you supertown.

So. Not the best plan initially, but I think it worked well. Sorry if the pressure pissed you off.

Suz, you played well. You were really under the radar but whenever you posted I don't think I would have read you as scum. Ya done good ^__^

Grapes, I hope you never roll scum against me. You were pretty much scum mvp.

-------

To town

gg ^^ you guys are great and I hope to see you again.

LQ you're an interesting character, we might not mesh in some ways but I've a feeling your town game should be easy to read and you seem passionate about your games. Youre a good future team mate.

Firebringer, you and I need to play as the same faction sometime.

I tried buddying you up cuz I felt bad about last game, didn't want to see you die. I actually felt a little betrayed when you started seeing I was scum xD

Vyse, hoping for your commentary. You started off slow but you really got me here and were scums biggest threat.

----

Other random stuff

I can't believe we didn't realize penguin was reviver, it should have been obvious when half the flavor was about an "olivia". We thought it was lq the whole time based on his revive spec.

I am totes down for future games of this. I really like this flavor and the mechanics are super interesting.

@Mod, I am super in favor of scum teams releasing their pts, so here is me consenting to that.

-----

I'm always trying to improve my game, and I think my scum play is really really weak. I'd love advice from any of you. Particularly interested in what vyse has to say, because you absolutely nailed me dude o.o
