===============================================

This is a normal game, roles not disclosed upfront.

Rules:
[01] Have fun and don't be a jerk. Please have consideration for the other players and the mod, and actually PLAY the game by posting and voting.
[02] No communication outside the thread unless your role allows you to do so and then only in the game's nights.
[03] Get your choices in before the deadlines. If not, a random choice will be made for the first night, and no choice for subsequent nights.
[04] No quoting my or others emails/messages.
[05] If you're dead YOU'RE DEAD. No more posting relevant information after that. A short farewell post (like bah) is fine.
[06] Lynching will be carried out once a regular majority is reached - and cannot be undone by unvoting. A "no lynch" vote is acceptable. If I impose a day deadline, lynching will require at least half of the regular majority. In case of a tie, first come first served. In the end game (6 players or less) only lynches with full majority will occur.
[07] Only votes in BOLD will be counted. Please clearly unvote if you want to change your vote, although I will accept it if you do not.
[08] Do NOT edit or delete your posts! If you made a coding error, just post again.
[09] Do NOT post in invisible text or smaller font.
[10] If anything is unclear before or during the game, PM me.
[11] The mod is always right during the game. Accept the decisions, and if you want to discuss them, take it to email, or do so after the game has finished.

Roles:
If there is one or more townies in the game, the role PM is

You are a townie. That's all. You win when all evil players are dead and there is at least one pro-town player alive.

[MeMe]

vote: Phoebus

You know why.

[Phoebus]

Vote MeMe

I love you too honey.

[mneme]

*waves* Heya!

[mneme]

vote: MeMe

(because the RNG told me to).

[Antrax]

Hey everyone.

vote: Mr. Flay

for not being around when I played and/or modded.

And bleh, dice are allowed? Do you know how many problems you can solve with shared randomness, even severly biased one?

[Mr. Flay]

Vote: mnemememe

for using an RNG.

Eep: Antrax

- ummm, blame Orbiting for not bringing me here sooner?

[mneme]

Antrax: ok, how many? I mean, sure; it's -much- harder to claim that someone lied about their randomness if they use dice, but it changes the game, not destroys it.

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

vote Phoebus

But we love you more

[mith]

Howdy, Ant. How's things? Are you scum?

mneme, did you have reason to worry someone might think you'd lied about the randomness of your vote?

[mathcam]

Vote: Flay

for being our resident n00b.

Cam

[Pie_is_good]

Vote: Antrax

, for lurking while the rest of us are diligently scumhunting.

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

Hi Mith

I'm stuck on this problem cuz I forgot how to differentiate.

Help plz?




Btw, are you scum?

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

When I say differentiate

I really mean integrate.

You can see my calculus is more than a little rusty.

[AniX]

I think there has been some horrible mistake where people thought I actually am qualified to be part of an invitational and am not merely the Mafiascum equivalent of a very narcissistic Doc. Brown, running around yelling alternatively about my pet theories and about how awesome I am.

Nevertheless, this is a retro-game so I will return my retro-method of detecting scum before my sense of smell became honed enough to do it.

Namely, lower case x marks the spot.

I'm sorry you had to be found out so quickly, Antrax but....

vote Antrax

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

Ok

I figured out my math problem

apparently it has nearly nothing to do with integrating

but the question to you still stands,

are you scum mith?

[AniX]

I've decided to generate a list of people I would investigate, in order, if I was cop, as of right now. I usually keep these private, but then everyone always accuses me of lurking when I start talking private notes and not posting them. I WILL CUT YOU ALL OFF AT THE PASS!

1. Antrax- I like being smug when my tomfool gimmick plays turn out to be correct.

2.MeMe-If she is scum, I want her out of the game before she starts giving me her tagline. When conversation gets sidetracked into "Lynch the Lurker, Not the Scum", the scum wins. If that scum is MeMe, all the more reason for her to lay the tracks herself.

3. Pooky-Don't trust him. Everyone seems to think he is a little further in the game than he actually is, and thats dangerous if he is scum. Potentially could use

4. Mr. Flay

5./6. mith/jeep- The two power-brokers of the site. Bragging rights if I can bag them, and they are smart enough that bagging them early is a good idea.

7. Talitha- Seems way too nice. I don't trust nice people.

8./9. Phoebus/mathcam- I don't know much, but I know they are good at what they do.

10. mneme- I don't know who this guy is, and thus he doesn't concern me until he starts concerning me.

11. AniX- I just want to be number eleven.

12. Pie_is_good- I can't bust a guy before he gets his gimmick off. Besides, Pie is easy to read, hard to pin down. Copping him won't solve anything.

Note this is entirely notational and not in any way a claim of cop. Trust me, if I was cop you'd know it because I would be yelling about my sense of smell. Thats when you know I'm too legit to quit being honest in my cop claim.

[AniX]

I left Flay blank because he knows why.

[AniX]

Ugh. I'm messing up all over the place. Pooky should read "Don't trust him. Everyone seems to think he is a little further in the game than he actually is, and thats dangerous if he is scum. Potentially could use CWS...charm without substance."

[Talitha]

vote: mith

He's obviously the Godfather.

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

What do you mean by "further in the game" ?

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

and who should we trust?

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

yo mneme.

why so chatty?

[Antrax]

Lurking? Pah. You all live by the wrong clock, is all, and that goes double for Talitha (hi!)

(mneme, seriously, the answer is actually that you can do calculate any multiparty function securely. It's quite fascinating, but very complex).

Anyway, back to the regularly-scheduled finger-pointing and gesticulating:

unvote: Mr. Flay

because mathcam the n00b said he's a n00b. I have found a much juicier target.

vote: Anix

, WHO IS CLEARLY A CHEAP KNOCK-OFF OF ME. Don't make me slap you with a lawsuit, all names of the form An*x are registered trademarks of the Antrax Corporation, bringing you 100% non-scummy An*xes since 1913.

Oh, and

**** FINGER OF SUSPICION ****

points at Pie_Is_Good, because it kinda sorta feels as though he's trying to start a wagon on me with easily-repented prodding later on. I could elaborate, but it's day 1 page 1, so let's leave it at that until later when I can claim I knew he was scum all along.

Hi, mith!

[mith]

Pooky and Tally: I'm not scum. Also, Pooky, your equation makes my browser cry.

Tally, are you scum? Is Pooky's huge graphic a scumtell?

Hi, Ant. Answer the question, please. In the form of a haiku.

Mr. Flay, how does it feel to be such a n00b?
