OK, here are my initial impressions.
I find Mariyta and thinktank the most suspicious.
I thinks proposal for a bandwagon lynch is extermely scummy.
Maryita pushed the binary vote possibility on day 1 really hard and turned out to be wrong. She has also antagonized a number of players (which would be a null tell).
Next on my list is MafiaMann, his post to open D2 was a little too obvious (the one that mentioned the admiral's vote.) Also his refusal to clarify what his early bold comments meant feels weird.
I also think we should take a close look at Cass. The rules said there would be negative consequences for the town on a no-lynch and then Cass arrives...
This also implies that sekinj has not been cleared by Cass's information.
My predecessor was pressed for a claim, I'm not sure how much to divulge. I feel safe revealing that I am a female character played by a male.
I'll be back in eight or nine hours with a more detailed analysis.-

Why are you so eager to get names, sekinj? It looks like the 'b' thing you mentioned earlier has had very little impact. I've got no idea what names or nicknames mean in this game and so will wait to reveal mine until I know what the point is or until there's a clear demand for a roleclaim.
I'll go ahead andunvotefor the moment while we figure out if we want a mass name claim.-

Rage - wants me and Gremwell to roleclaim, ok with name claim
Sekinj - no roleclaim, wants mass name claim
Mariyta - ok with a name claim, has already revealed nickname
Gremwell - wants mass name claim
I guess I'm ok with a name claim. That makes five in favor. So I'll go ahead and reveal my name - Camille Vanderton.-

I received no anonymous letters. I was told in my flavor text, however, about someone sent by someone else to the area (some of you will know what I'm talking about.) I suppose that knowledge could have come by way of a mysterious letter.
I have to say that I find sekinj extremely suspicious at the moment. He seems to have been demonstrably wrong at least once (though I suppose it might have been a good scum-trap.) He was primarily responsible for the death of OGML, and ThAdmiral was critical of him. He has sought lots of information and tried to explain away of suspicion.
Thus, I willvote seking.-

Let me be clear. I've received no letters. My flavor text implies that I have found something out. I suppose that (in flavor world) I could have found that out through letters.Rage wrote: I didn't ask if you received anonymous letters, I asked if you received any letters at all. This isn't incriminating right now, per se, it's just something I'd like to point out.
As I said above, it's the latter.Rage wrote:I suppose that knowledge could have come by way of a mysterious letter. I don't understand this. Are you saying that I've received a mysterious letter, or that your flavour text may have been given to you by a mysterious letter?
If someone claimed to have a first name starting with b, and then sekinj revealed that his knowledge said that no one had a name beginning with b then we sekinj would know that person was scum.rage wrote: Scum-trap, where? Evidence, please!
Rage, I'm not willing to role claim based solely on your request. If a majority asks for it, however, I will make one.
This is obviously false (as rage acknowledged.)sekinj wrote: I was not responsible for OGML's death. I was not even voting him.-

Nope, you made a pretty accurate read.
However, I don't think that a lack of outside information removes suspicion from sekinj. ThAdmiral was still pressing against sekinj before he was killed. OGML's death was completely due to sekinj.
His requests for information still bother me, though a re-read does show they didn't come out of the blue.-

I think this post represents a little more antagonistic position than you represent.sekinj wrote:
It looks like most people think the best lynch today would either be OGML or me. People are leaning toward believing me and lynching OGML because I have provided more detailed information and OGML has just said, "she's lying, I'm vanilla townie".Why is OMGL the best candidate?-

I don't understand what your point is. I thought I was pretty clear that I haven't received letters in game, but that it's plausible that my character has received letters.Mariyta wrote: qwints, you are floundering horribly.
I stand by my accusation of sekinj. The positions she took on the first day clearly led to the death of OGML. Just because she acted like she was against the lynch in no way changes the fact that the claim she made led to the lynch. Although she claims she was not voting for OGML's lynch, she did put him at L-1 in post 295 (although time was running out) and voted for him at post 268.
She has requested information early and often. Often these requests were in response to others asking for information, but I don't think anyone objectively reading the thread could say she was not responsible for a lot of information coming out. In post 60, she suggested people sharing her first name. This suggestion was in no way prompted by someone else asking for information first.
Combined with these two facts, sekinj seems unwilling to release much information. How much information does she really have? Is it worth the town not ever knowing if she gets nk'd?
I see no reason to disbelieve rage, but that in no way clears sekinj. The evil chancellor is a pretty common trope in fantasy. Maybe those who seem to believe sekinj have inside information I'm not privy to, but I see her as the best suspect.
On the other hand, I can confirm one of her statements. At one point, she said there were three known section, one unknown and one that would come into use. I know that there are five possible rooms: The village inn, the stables, the guest quarters and the mansion's left and right wing. Rage has also confirmed that a note was sent to her. Can anyone else confirm information from sekinj?-

It is her fault if she made the information up. No one has a first name that starts with b. Cass has not claimed to have night powers (which would have gone a long way to verifying sekinj.)Mariyta wrote: qwints: Do you seriously believe that because sekinj came out with her information way before OGML claimed that it's her fault he claimed when/how he did? OGML didn't reveal any role information until after sekinj had been in the spotlight for some time.-

This is what Cass said. It does not prove that sekinj's original statements were true.Cass wrote:I'm going to start with a few brief comments. First, that my role information does not contradict anything Sekinj has said. My arrival also seems a decent explanation of the misunderstanding on day one that led to the unfortunate death of the squire.-

Cass does not know who else has night actions. At the very most, Cass is only saying that he has a night action.Mariyta wrote:"My role information does not contradict anything Sekinj has said." How does that not confirm sekinj's information on 10 people having night actions? I guess it depends on how you interpret it, so please tell me, how did you interpret that?
Mariyta, I believe you are town, but I think you have information that I don't. Otherwise, I don't think you would be so sure of sekinj.-

I'm not looking for people to role claim. I was just seeing if anyone besides OGML didn't have one. One person without an action would certainly place sekinj's claim in a new light.
I still think sekinj pushed for more information than anyone else has. But given everyone's explanation, I willunvote.-

I'm in the left wing of the mansion. My knowledge is what told me about the various rooms. Rage - there's nothing I can do to refute your knowledge. I think I've been consistent in my answers if unclear in my wording. My flavor text tells me I have acquired knowledge before the game started.
Furthermore, I've got no reason to suspect you rage. All I can say is I was truthful about my name. I count 4 people who seem to want a role claim from me - gremwell, sekinj, maryita and rage. If one more person requests, then I will claim.-

Allright, here's my claim.
I am the Baroness. My full name is Lady Camille Vanderton. My power is an ability to move people between quarters at night and a one shot command ability for servants. I know that a messenger has come from the Prince to try to cleanse the area of a supernatural. (This was the information that came from a letter.) My predecessor never moved anyone.)
I have no choice but to reveal my identity and ask for loyalty from the servants.
Rage, I order you to vote for MafiaMann
vote MafiaMann
MafiaMann has failed to adequately explain what ensorsel meant and seems to be less than cooperative.-

No. I do know that they don't have to stay where I put them and that they can move around after that. This implies that others have the ability to move between quarters. Does anyone have that ability?sekinj wrote: @qwints: do you know what purpose it serves to move people around between quarters?
If I had to speculate, I would guess that scum might get an advantage from being in the same quarters as their target. Thus, my ability might slightly hinder scum or backfire and help them.-

It's a partial claim. It's clearly incomplete and somewhat vague. Does that mean that if sekinj had targeted someone on night one you would then have been able to switch her target?
And gremwell, is the dispell thing something real or were you just screwing around? If mafiawas townwouldn't that make you anti-town?-

Scribe seemed like a servant role to me. When it didn't work, I decided it to try on a player who hadn't claimed to see what happened. If rage eventually follows the command, then my command to thinktank will do nothing.Cass wrote: @qwints: what made you think Rage is a 'servant'? Or thinktank? Is changing votes the only thing you could have commanded? Or could you, say, command someone to claim or to direct their night action to a specific target, to name a few examples?
I could have commanded someone to claim, but I don't know if that would have guaranteed a truthful claim or just that they say something about their role. I could not have commanded a night action, only an action during the day.-

As far as I'm concerned, the fact that rage followed my order confirms that he is town. I think he is wrong about me, but I think he is honestly wrong. I used my one shot ability today because I thought there was a chance I would be incorrectly lynched. I used it in order to maximize our chances of lynching scum today. I used it, and I can no longer use it.
Mafia, I want to know - did you have anything to do with ThAdmiral's death? Was the scum trying to kill sekinj?-

1. Scribe sounded like a servant role.
2. As I said before, I was afraid I would be lynched before I got the chance to use my one shot ability. So I used it to maximize the chance of a mafia lynch - who I feel is scummy.
Yes, I was following what you said, Rage. I thought the fact that a day or two had passed suggested that the order hadn't worked. The fact that you followed the order confirmed you as town in my book.-

@Rage
Yes, I realize you're the only player that has claimed with information about me. I've never pretended that I chose you at random. I chose you as the one that would maximize the chances of a scum lynch. With all due respect, you are simply wrong about me.
I don't think I could have commanded sekinj, although I might have been able to. Scribe was the obvious choice. Sure, you can command those lower down the chain then you, but I was obviously able to command you. That also means that you are confirmed town.
I had thought that sekinj was scum for reason I had explained earlier, but the defenses from maryitat, who I think is pretty clearly town, and you, who I now know is town, convinced me otherwise. Mafiaman's refusal to elaborate on his role given the information he has already revealed is what makes him my number one suspect.
Let me make this crystal clear, I used my power on rage b/c
1. It was most likely to work on him if he had told the truth
2. I thought he was the most wrong about me
3. This is a critical lynch and I want to maximize our chances of getting scum.
Lastly, in response to the point about drawing out the day - I don't think there's much chance of us going another day without a lynch. I'm sure that most players will vote the most likely suspect when the deadline comes and that they'll shift, as necessary, to lynch the consensus choice. In fact, I think we should all commit to lynching the plurality choice at the deadline.-

Although I know realize that Maryita's post is directed to MafiaMann, I summed up my answer for the last few question before I did so. I hate to see such a post go to wasterage wrote: Why did you use it on me?qwints wrote:

I think my position about the letters is pretty clear, Rage.
I have received no letters in game. It seems reasonable that my character was receiving letters before the game began (that is before night 0) based on my flavor text. I think a fair reading of my earlier posts will show that this is a consistently held position.
As for my powers, it's pretty clear that our powers for the game are unusual. They are what they are. My knowledge about the messenger comes from my flavor text.
I think you have summed up my position accurately, but I don't think that your implications make a lot of sense.
All I can say it that I've been a lot more open than MafiaMann has.

brackets are my additionrage wrote: -has not received any anonymous letters
-states that flavour text may have been given to him by letter [before the game]
-has not received any letters at all
-thinks he may have received a letter [before the game], which he says would explain his flavour text
-before the game, it is possible that he has received letters
-during the game, he has received no letters
-confirms he hasn't received any letters at all
-confirms he might have received letters [before the game]
This is an accurate summary of the four quotes of mine you have addressed. I don't think they are as silly or inconsistent as you have portrayed.
My flavor text says that I have learned that the prince is sending someone to the manor. It makes sense that my backstory contains me getting a letter (before night 0). Thus another player's flavor text could say that they had noticed me receiving letters. That said, I have received no letters (that is pms) since the game began.-

We already know that rage is town. TheSweatpantsNinja is an unknown factor since his predecessors were so inactive.
That leaves sekinj, thinktank, cass and maryita. There's probably two or three scum in the bunch. Thus we are almost certain to hit scum today. Here are my thought:
sekinj - I was suspicious of her yesterday, but rage me she was town. I find her all out attack on Mariyta strange. Mariyta's hammer was clearly designed to prevent a no-lynch.
Maritya - interesting claim. i don't think there's any objective evidence for the claim, but I don't see a strong reason to disbelieve it/
thinktank- LURKER. Way, way too quiet.
Cass- A little too passive for my taste. Is is this the emissary?
I'm not sure enough to vote yet. I am curious to know is sekinj has anything to tell us at this point.-

Here's my claim, for convenience.
If I wasn't roleblocked last night, cass and sekinj can confirm that I moved them to the stables. My one shot ability has been used.qwints wrote: I am the Baroness. My full name is Lady Camille Vanderton. My power is an ability to move people between quarters at night and a one shot command ability for servants. I know that a messenger has come from the Prince to try to cleanse the area of a supernatural. (This was the information that came from a letter.) My predecessor never moved anyone.)
I am in favor of the mass roleclaim and add that sekinj needs to reveal his information once all the information is out. Furthermore, everyone needs to remember that we may be at lynch or lose. Thus, votes need to be used carefully lest scum pile on. (Though that might be a bit hard logistically.-

Are you claiming cop-like abilities Cass? What could possibly be the point of not revealing how you are certain at this point? I think you're just too scared to try and make something up at this point. Especially since Gremwell's nickname was sleuth.
Here's why everyone thinks you are suspicious:
1) You arrived the day after a no-lynch and we were promised dire consequences after a no-lynch.
2) Sir LotharGuile?That's a suspicious last name if I ever heard one.
3) You cast suspicion on Maryita, Thinktank, Gremwell, MafiaMann, me and Sekinj yesterday. That looks a lot like scum trying to cover all their bases.
4) After a roleclaim, you say that you "know for a fact" that I am scum without explaining why.
5) You discourage a mass claim (and maybe are going for a fast lynch?) when only two players are left to claim. Are you trying to protect thinktank after you and others cast suspicion on him yesterday?
Even if you all are convinced I am scum, it is absolutely imperative that we get a roleclaim from thinktank and sweatpantsninja. That maximizes town's chances of using sekinj's information successfully.
Here's my current scum list
1) Cass - for reasons mentioned earlier
2) thinktank - for not being helpful and yesterday's lynch attempt
3) Mariyta - much less, but her strident attempts to distance herself from the hammer yesterday is a little scummy. (Though the hammer itself does make sense)
4) sweatpantsninja - this is my 0 point. Simply an unknown quantity.
5) sekinj - pretty sure she's town based on rage's defense of her
6) rage - I'm certain he's town b/c he followed my command yesterday
7) myself - I know I'm town, obviously-
