Mini 702--Serum & Steel(The rust has settled/Game Over)

[Seraphim]

/confirm

[Seraphim]

Sorry about not posting sooner. Do you think someone could give me a brief summary of the posts besides the one guy claiming metal townie? Has anything else happened that should be brought to my attention?

[Seraphim]

First...urm...I'm a male. And second, I'm really, really busy in real life. I plan on catching up...today, actually. And actually posting things. For real.

[Seraphim]

Alright. Finished reading. Time to get to scumhunting! 8D

First of all: I think Timeater's claim may be correct. Seeing as he can't be killed by anything, I say we lynch him today to confirm if he's metal or not. If he lied to stay alive, well, he's probably scum then. Therefore, he dies. Even if the claim that he is metal is correct, however, there's still a problem that he may be metal scum.

Nextly, I feel as if the random serum-giving...well, it doesn't feel right to me. Sure, it's unbiased, but...meh. I don't like the idea of town wasting such a lethal power on a potential scum/lurker. So...

I think that if anyone gets the Serum, he/she should post the following morning with whatever role they recieved and what they did with it that night.

Does anyone disagree with this?

[Seraphim]

Alright, CF. I'll bite.

I'm against the idea of posting what we do with the Serum right away. As scum, there's nothing I like more than seeing a town lay out every piece of information they have hoping it will strengthen the town.

As a townie, there's nothing I like more than seeing all the information I can and acting upon it. I can see some examples of why someone shouldn't claim immediately; but, if someone recieves cop powers and they get a guilty result, shouldn't they say that's what happened?

It's incredibly easy for scum to take what appears to be a well thought out plan and turn it on it's head because they know things we don't. To assume they won't be able to manipulate ideas put in plain daylight is underestimating your opponent. I think how the serum is used by each player is circumstantial, so we shouldn't have a policy that applies to every circumstance.

I agree. But, unless the player feels that circumstances dictate otherwise, I think that anyone we give the Serum to should tell us what exactly he did with the serum.

I checked page 1, and I am entitled as a replacement to request to extend the deadline by 3 days. Does anyone need it? I thought it'd take me longer than this to catch up but I'm okay now.

I don't need an extension.

Seraphim got voted for not being around, then immediately showed up out of thin air. That tells me he's paying attention and choosing not to post.

This is rather unfair.

First...urm...I'm a male. And second, I'm really, really busy in real life. I plan on catching up...today, actually. And actually posting things. For real.

Up until yesterday, I didn't have the time to read and catch up on this game. Now, when I do, I'm attacked for posting? Would you rather I didn't post at all? I'm not saying you're scummy for saying it, but it's a rather weak case, especially now that I'm somewhat active now.

Now...who to vote/serum/mycosynth?

First of all...

Vote: Porkens

While I can't say your 'let's-not-serum-anyone' policy is exactly scummy, your prediction seems to bother me somewhat. It almost seems to be WIFOM; the scum obviously won't kill him at night, even if we de-metal him? I don't like this prediction at all.

Serum: Tuberkulos

The random voting is best for now, after more careful thought. Later, we may want to change that plan, but for the first day/days, random seems like the way to go.

Mycosynth: Wall-E

Meh, whatever. Seeing as mycosynth doesn't seem to harm fleshies, let's do it. [/dice][/b]

[Seraphim]

Urm...I find the post scummy, don't like the predicting quality to it, and am against his anti-serum sentiment?

Also, do you really think that me 'lurking' for four days because of real life is any sort of case for a lynch?

[Seraphim]

First of all, your color tags didn't work. Second...

Seraphim, if the serum-ee decides when and if to reveal his actions, how can we have a policy of asking?

We'll ask, certainly, but any sort of information that we could glean from that night, IMO, is beneficial to the town. The scum will know exactly who the secret roles will be in this game, so the special roles need to make sure that if, say, they got a guilty result on someone, that the town knows that as soon as possible.

[Seraphim]

Oh, sorry. Does anyone want me to ask any questions before deadline? I would really not like to be quicklynched or something without having some sort of defense. What are the charges against me?

[Seraphim]

...well, Sprye...I don't find you incredibly scummy. The irony is that, reading through all this, is that I find Wall-E to be the scummiest. In fact, the fact that he's been following along with me to be very odd. Besides that, I can't explain exactly why he feels off to me. However, I am mycosynthing him. So, I can't lynch him as well.

I also notice the fact that I'm the closest to being lynched. Does anyone want a roleclaim from me before I retire just in case I become the deadline lynch?

[Seraphim]

I feel like actually doing something. I certainly hope I'm making the right decision.

Unvote, Unsynth
Vote: SpyreX
Mycosnyth: Timeater

If you're calling for your own lynch...well, alright then.

[Seraphim]

I just thought of something. Do you think it's entirely possible that there may be a town-aligned role that is able to distribute serum? I've thinking through this game and if there's even one metal scum, it means the town is at a major disadvantage. If the only way to distribute powers is through majority vote, the scum know who all the power roles are. A simple way to block that would be a character who would be able to give serum to other players.

Any thoughts?

[Seraphim]

...urm...I am voting to synth Timeater?

[Seraphim]

According to the vote count, I guess I'm not.

Unsynth
Synth: Timeater

[Seraphim]

I do recall Seraphim mentioning in the previous post that there might be a role which could give serum to others. If this is what happened then I'd be very interested to find out how he knew.

I'm going to ask again: does anyone want me to roleclaim?

[Seraphim]

...confirmed? Confirmed what? Town? Scum?

[Seraphim]

...what is his role, then?

[Seraphim]

I'm just trying to get answers from MafiaSSK. Which, from my experience, is like pulling teeth.

[Seraphim]

Vote: Timeater

I did not like your claim. I do not like your list. It all feels very anti-town that you're claiming that anyone that voted for you clearly is scum. Also, haphazardly insulting people doesn't help anyone. If you're town, you're the most obnoxious townie I've ever played with.

[Seraphim]

I think that if we have someone we think is scum, we should mycosynth them before we lynch them, and proceed in that manner. Hence...

Vote: Timeater

Mycosynth: Ortolan

Tell me...CF Riot, since you recieved abilities, what exactly did you do with them? Or, actually, do you have a role that we should continue to serum?

[Seraphim]

I have it, certainly. I might as well post my full claim, here.

You are the Blinkmoth Nexus, town-aligned Serum Giver. As the living ancestral home of the Blinkmoths, who make the Blinkmoth Serum(go figure...), you have a lot of Blinkmoth Serum. This should help the town somehow.
Abilities: Each day, you may target a player. That player will be given the Blinkmoth Serum, activating their innate abilities.
Win Condition: You win when you are the last faction remaining.

I wonder what happens if I give myself serum, seeing as this seems to be my ability?

[Seraphim]

Hello, Vi. I promise I won't abandon this game like our last game together. XP

Unvote

I really don't have an opinion of who to lynch right now. I do know who I want to serum, however.

[Seraphim]

I'll be V/LA until Wednesday, though I'll probably drop in sometime before deadline to put my vote down and such.

[Seraphim]

I'll admit, I wasn't helpful in this game. I suppose my best play was seruming Vi, but even that...well, the town still won, regardless of useless my play was. At least you guys didn't lynch me! 8D

[Seraphim]

I never really got a scum read from Timeater, just a pissed read. And when you replaced in, I watched you and got a town read. I was active-lurking; I was certainly reading the thread, but didn't want to attract unwanted attention to myself. Which I suppose I did. Oh well.

Plus, I had send in my power during the day. We didn't know SSK was scum at that point

[Seraphim]

lol, I know. Still, I was never lynched. That's gotta count for something.

[Seraphim]

When would this game start?

[Seraphim]

I tentatively

/pre-in.

I'm just worried about the number of games I'm in right now.

[Seraphim]

I liked this game, honestly. I just wish I had been more active.
