It's the principle of the matter. You vote for the only person in the thread who is not a player and who can not be lynched. The fact that mods even allow you to do this is completely ridiculous.forbiddanlight wrote:

First of all, I shallUNFOS all my current FOS targets. (can I do this,mod? or do I have to list them all?) My reasoning for this is that up until now my FOS targets have been for early-game lurking and not game related reasons.
Here are a couple of things I picked up while catching up on the weekend's action:
The survivor claim idea is ridiculous and, as pointed out in 223 by armlx, we would never see one. In fact, the people who have jumped on this idea (kinetic/cybele) currently seem suspicious as hell as it looks like a coordinated attempt between two scum-partners to try and encourage the town into voting for a townie under unrealistic pretenses.
Also, FL's apparent confidence that there ARE two survivors seems suspicious.FOS: forbiddanlight
In addition, as Natirasha pointed out earlier, based on my role PM I can also deduce that there are at least 5 alignments present in the game. Which also implies that my enemies likely have similar win conditions to mine only with roles obviously reversed. Kinetic's and Empking's failure to understand this and attempts to force Nat to explain it makes me think that their role's win condition is, at the very least, anti-me and quite likely anti-town.FOS: Empking
I do not really consider Kinetic's "bus" statement a slip as he might've just failed to find a proper verb at the time for what he was trying to say. However, his survivor-based attacks on Natirasha have the "eager scum" feel to them. His pressure on Nat to reveal alignment information only helps support that.
vote: Kinetic

I feel really confident in my vote now considering this is a blatant lie since in Tar's queue game-start post it was implicitly stated that this game will have:Kinetic wrote:

Also, I pose this question to the town: Day 1, what alignment would most likely HAVE this much information?Multiple factions - the setup is very heavily faction-based. All players will haveat least twoseparate win conditions, of which that player need only fulfill one to win, and the game will end when a faction fulfills its win condition.On a long enough timeline, the survival rate for everyone drops to zero.

Err.. EBWOP again:
I just noticed that the question was about alignments and not win conditions. Either way, I'm pretty sure Nat's question was referring to all the alignments mentioned and not just his own alignment. And as there are at least two win conditions, it stands to reason that there are at least 3 alignments in any one role PM. Which still supports my earlier comment that Kinetic is making things up rather than trying to reveal any truthful information. Therefore his win conditions are likely different from mine and are thus anti-me and anti-town.On a long enough timeline, the survival rate for everyone drops to zero.

I don't understand your problem with that statement but I'm guessing your lack of knowledge in the theme is the reason for that. Since this IS aforbiddanlight wrote:
So, did anyone ELSE notice this in veerus' post?
at the very least, anti-me and quite likely anti-town. FOS: EmpkingFoS Veerusthemegame that the mod didn't require background knowledge for, I'll try to explain.
In my win conditions, there are four opposing factions mentioned (something that I'm sure is true for most, if not all, players). As I actually know the story of Babylon 5, one of the win conditions specifies factions that I wouldn't exactly call scum, thus the reason for the differentiation.On a long enough timeline, the survival rate for everyone drops to zero.

Army of Light is listed in green in randomgem's role pm.. Green = town usually... thus army of light = town... right? Can we agree on that?
That being said, Nat, I have a hard time believing your claim.

This is a pretty good guess. One correction though. Vorlons and Shadows are technically races. Therefore, I think the faction WC for them would likely be "kill AOL". And the race WC would probably be "kill the other mafia and Babylon 5". I say B5 because that was the main AOL faction in the series (thus the name of the game).Kinetic wrote: Faction Win Conditions
Army of Light (Town): Defeat Shadows and Vorlon Operatives
Shadow Operatives(Mafia A): Defeat Vorlons and AOL
Vorlon Operatives(Mafia B): Defeat Shadows and AOL
Race Win Conditions
Minbari: Kill Earthforce and Narn, they are hunted by Babylon 5 and Unaligned Worlds
Earthforce: Kill unaligned and Centauri, are hunted by Babylon 5 and Minbari
Babylon 5: Kill Earthforce and Minbari, are hunted by unaligned and Narn
Centauri: Kill unaligned and Narn, are huned by Narn and Earthforce
Narn: Kill Centauri and B5, are hunted by Minbari and Centauri
Unaligned: Kill B5 and Minbari, are hunted by Centauri and Earth force
It is just a big circle guys. We're all hunting each other and in the end the scum will win. We must ignore these win conditions and work toward the Army of Light win condition. I know you all have it, and if you don't, you're not town. If there is seven race win conditions then a few of the above race win conditions are wrong, but the circle will still be there I'm sure. The race win conditions are meant to break the town up.
Anyway, like I said, this is a great guess at the structure even though there are some thematic inconsistencies. But it's quite likely that they are what they are due to game balance reasons and seeing how Tar games have gone in the past, it's not impossible for him to throw in a few inconsistencies to confuse those familiar with the theme. To further support that argument, my race win condition (which you correctly mentioned btw) has such inconsistency I'm talking about so relying solely on thematic knowledge isn't a good idea here. At any rate, I would be for the race claim as the faction WC should be easier to achieve.
That being said, I still think Nat is the best lynch for today. I believe that his claim is fake. This guess is supported by Kinetic's theory and my comments regarding shadow/vorlon win conditions. Even if his claim isn't all fake, Naroon was a renegade and very anti-town in the series.On a long enough timeline, the survival rate for everyone drops to zero.

To further clarify my reason for the race claim is that I'm guessing that all races have a roughly equal number of people. Therefore, during the claim if any one race has more people than other races, that's where the mafia lies...
Hmm, on the other hand (and I'm thinking out loud here), as was pointed out in recent posts, this would encourage people to go for their race WC.. So, if we do not race claim, I guess we can go on as long as we can agree on the likely structure of the game and what to expect out of it. Based on their race/WC's, can anyone else confirm Kinetic's theory or correct it any way?On a long enough timeline, the survival rate for everyone drops to zero.

FL, just because the mod did something in one game, doesn't mean he would do the same thing in another game. Your wild and unbased theories are ridiculous and distracting. This isn't MS so get over it already.
dybeck: Thematically speaking, Narn are not scum, and Shadows are.. this is also supported by the AOL WC.
Ahh.. I think I see where you're going with this.Kinetic wrote:First, Vorlons and Shadow are technically races, however, Vorlon and Shadow OPERATIVES are the younger races being controled by Shadow and Vorlon plots. Thus, Shadow and Vorlon OPERATIVES (who are the target of the AOL win condition, look at it in Tar's post) are a faction, not a race.On a long enough timeline, the survival rate for everyone drops to zero.

I realize that there are a lot of people here from MS2 where some craaaazy shit went down, but think logically about this for a second. This seems like a straight up theme game. Read your role PM.. is there anything in there that would imply that the other roles would be Mind-Screwy or much more ridiculous than yours? Everyone has two win conditions and everyone is of a certain in-theme race.
Also, I agree with pretty much with everything in VisMaior's post except for the part where he says that RandomGem seems scummy. Why is he scummy? I'll agree that it does seem odd that his role PM would get posted out of the blue, but what makes you (and malth) doubt the validity of it.. besides having read or played in MS2?On a long enough timeline, the survival rate for everyone drops to zero.

That's a good observation and I could probably get behind it for a few days. But I'm not sure I would go as far as fully confirm Kinetic. Just because scum are the informed faction in the game doesn't mean that they wouldn't seek additional advantage if they could come up with a way to do it by coming up with something the mod didn't expect or tried to avoid.DrippingGoofball wrote:
Excellent point. Kinetic is henceforth mod-confirmed to be a townie on account of the wording "trying to use the structure of the role PM to gain an advantage" - there would be no advantage if he were scum. The mod, who knows this to be a fact, is essentially confirming that Kinetic is in fact scumhunting. Thus he must be a townie.VisMaior wrote:And noch:

I think hp needs to claim in much the same fashion Nat did on page 15. By that I mean, I would want a name/race/WC.
For all intents and purposes, we are too close to the deadline to get 20-some people to race claim. What's plan B? Kinetic should probably make his big reveal and let us come to our own conclusions. His theories so far have made a fair amount of sense and have slowly gathered a significant pro-claim opinion. We can't risk him getting NK'd without knowing the full extent of his ideas.On a long enough timeline, the survival rate for everyone drops to zero.

Everyoneshould make a claim with theirnext post. This way everyone should be able to claim before deadline (as it is slightly more than 72 hours away). Those who lurk or or fail to claim with their next post should be considered as most scummy. The only person who's currrently V/LA is MafiaSSK (I think) and he should be required as soon as he comes back.

Nice catch, Kinetic. Are you implying the PM was faked? If so, that begs the obvious question - why? On the other hand, what's the possibility of the mod using the two interchangeably just like you do and making a typo in the role PM. It's been known to happen.

Thanks for the list Mana_Ku. I was going to do it this morning but you saved me the trouble.
If your list is correct, our scum are hiding under the Narn faction. Everyone's roles here (except maybe LoUW) have names that relate to a significant character in the series. Narn had 1 main character and 1 recurring minor character (who probably wouldn't have made the cut anyway). We have 4 claimers. That doesn't jive.
Also, in light of the number of Minbari who have claimed, I'm not so sure about Nat's claim anymore. I was expecting at least 2 claims as there were 2 main characters in the series. I was starting to believe Nat's claim at first as his claim sort of made sense, but now I don't think it's true because it doesn't look like there's room for peripheral, rarely occuring characters in this setup. I think he's our best lynch for today and tomorrow we'll have to quiz Narn claimers and KOC.
Vote: Natirasha
Why is everyone voting for KOC? The only thing I can see against him is that he's V/LA.. and that's hardly scummy since the mod implied that the absense was planned and agreed upon when he replaced in. We have a lot of facts on the table.. let's hold off lynching KOC on pure assumption until we get some facts.On a long enough timeline, the survival rate for everyone drops to zero.

These shenanigans and deception by Kinetic are really starting to wear on me. I'm pretty sure he's still town, but it's irritating. We're nearing the deadline. He needs to stop putting off his big reveal so we have time to evaluate his full theory and complete a lynch.
Kinetic, how can you say that 4 Narn are not an anamoly when Narn only had one significant character in the series while I could name at least 6 B5 easy?
Here's my theory:
If you want to know where at least one of the scum are hiding, look no further than the Narn. Even without the theme's knowledge, the numbers don't lie. It looks as if all non-B5 races have, at most, 3 members. Narn has 4 claims. At least one of the Narn's is either Earthforce or Centauri... I'm guessing KOC is also one of these two factions. And with Kinetic's new claim, there are 3 LoUW and 3 Minbari. This makes 6 B5 and 3 of all other races which seems like a plausible setup.
And here's the big reveal (I'm guessing this will be similar to Kinetic's and I'm tired of waiting):
The key here is the wording in the AOL WC -- we are to kill all Shadow/Vorlonoperatives. In the series, Shadows and Vorlons used the "lesser" races to do most of their shenanigans. That idea translates to the setup. Our scum is hiding within the known races.
Let me make a small logical leap and say that those who have claimed the anti-Shadow/Vorlon conditions are the OPERATIVES of the other faction (anti-Shadow are Vorlon operatives and vice versa). Here's the theme releated breakdown of the races for possible scum:
Centauri -- there's probably one Shadow operative (likely Lord Reefa or the Emperor). Centauri also had 2 town-aligned characters. We know RB is one of those two.
Earthforce -- we know hp[leaves] is a Shadow operative. There may even be one more. Earthforce personel caused nothing but trouble for B5.
Minbari -- Nat is the Vorlon operative. Other two are town.
Narn -- as I've said before, this race had 1 significant character and he was town. This is a grey area as the mod could've done something creative and unexpected with the other two players.
LoUW -- I would guess they're either vanilla or scum as both Shadows and Vorlons had used LoUW races for some stuff but nothing overly significant and I'm not about to try and out-guess the mod here.
B5 -- the namesake town faction. Mana_Ku is a Vorlon operative. A possible B5 character could be "Kosh" who's an actual Vorlon but would obviously count as a Vorlon operative.
By my count, that's 3 anti-AOL right there (2 Vorlon and 1 Shadow). It's a creative catch-22 by the mod as at least two of our anti-AOL's are cops. Also, as a question of balance, is 4 scum balanced against 17 town? Or should we expect one or two more? Also, this does not cover survivors, but maybe Kinetic's theory will.On a long enough timeline, the survival rate for everyone drops to zero.

1. I never said B5 was the "obvious town race". Nice job putting words in my mouth.Kinetic wrote:Holy shit. I'm wrong. Veerus is scum...
He thinks that B5 is the "Obvious town race" so he claimed it...
Unvote:Vote: VeerusFOS: Kinetic.In fact, I said that of the six B5 claimers, as many as two could be Vorlon (aka anti-town).
2. Are you implying that you disagree with my theory that anti-ShadowmeansVorlon? Or vice versa? If I'm right, this means that if you're AOL WC, you need to lynch them. Your WC assumptions, as correct as they may be for the AOL characters, are garbage when talking about scum. I haven't seen a single argument from you about possible scum WC's. And my theory makes sense. While your hesitation to lynch likely scum, or even reveal their possible motivations, does not. Plus you've shifted your vote how many times now?
3. I accounted for 3 Narn which means there could be at least one totally random character. So I don't understand your problem with my theory. For your theory to be "mathematically balanced" as your comment implies, if every faction had 4 players, we'd have 24 players, not 21. This makes me think that your theory is not at all a game breaking revelation.
4. Like Nat said.. this isn't Stargate. Unlike Stargate, B5 has multiple clearly defined factions. Stargate's character list had humans (no matter how obscure they were) and non-humans. B5 has lotsa races. I'm not saying they should be held as the absolute truth (as evidenced by the untrue WC's), but this wouldn't be a theme game if it wasn't at least loosely followed. All the claims I've seen (and my character) are all known characters from the series so it is reasonable for me to assume the same for most other players.
While I still think you're town (a feeling that's quickly fading), I don't agree with your theory. A theory that you've put off revealing for yet another day...On a long enough timeline, the survival rate for everyone drops to zero.

Say what? The namesake thing? To think otherwise is ridiculous. The game is themed on revolving around B5, B5 had the most main characters and most of those characters fit the AOL WC. I say this because we have a B5 character claim who's not one of the main 4 commander-type characters from the series (one of whom is my role thus the theory). That alone makes at least 5 B5's. And I can name half a dozen more obscure and well known characters that could be B5-aligned and in the set up.armlx wrote:Wow, did Veerus actually just say that?
Plus seems to me I'm not the only one who thinks there are 6 B5 and 3 everyone else and yet I'm the one being chastised for it? Scum bandwagon?On a long enough timeline, the survival rate for everyone drops to zero.

Hm.. interesting. Not very true to the story but balanced. I'm sorry you think I was trying to confuse everyone. I was merely trying to fit the setup to the story, but seeing your theory I can now see how you think the story is a red herring.
What of the survivor and anti-shadow/vorlon WC people.. how do they fit into the balance? If there are 3 survivors and 3 of each scum race operative, they have to only kill 6 and not 7. Or am I confusing the two WC's?
Also, what's your definition of "anti-town"? By my definition, Nat/hp/Mana are all anti-town.
Lastly, I don't think RG's posted role PM is a fake.. I just can't imagine a scenario where someone would want to loudly announce a fake claim on someone who wasn't under pressure at the time. Based on that I suppose I can buy into your theory of the other Centauri being anti-town. Though how do you distinguish that from Nat/hp/Mana?On a long enough timeline, the survival rate for everyone drops to zero.

It's not out of nowhere. It was in Kinetic's big reveal post at the bottom of the previous page.forbiddanlight wrote:
My vote is part that but more because of Internet's latest post claiming three mafia in each :S. That's out of NOWHERE.
I'd probably even rather lynch KoC then work on the speculation that the scum/anti-town groups are evenly distributed among the secondary WC's.
Also, armlx, I find it really suspicious that you ignore cr3t1n's posts. They're not easy to read, true, but he brings up good points in them sometimes. In this last series of posts, he said that while I concentrate too much on the flavor/theme, he does not find me scummy. Malt is still scummier. He also disagrees with my argument that anti-x factions are pro-y factions and thus scum.
In fact, after a quick review of armlx's posts, it seems that he's been coasting along. Ignoring cr3t1n's posts is just the latest point of evidence. Armlx has made numerous posts in this thread, yet his contributions have been minimal as I counted less than five posts where the post length was longer than 3 lines/sentences. He seems to latch on to the latest "best" lynch suspect with barely an explanation.FOS: armlx
With that said, I would be ok with a KOC lynch since he's by all accounts back but not posting in the thread knowing that the deadline is hours away.On a long enough timeline, the survival rate for everyone drops to zero.

If it was a true OMGUS, I would've voted for you and tried to make a case out of it. I was just pointing out an observation for people to make their own conclusions out of. To me, you look like you're coasting. It is what it is. Is it scummy? Not neccesarily, but the FOS will remind me to keep an eye on you for later.
I won't lie, I cringe when I see his posts, but he was allowed to replace in by the mod so his words are worth about as much as any one else's.armlx wrote:1st, do you honestly want to put up with cr3t1n this game?

You win the understatement of the year award. This thread has seen nearly 4 pages in the past 17 or so hours (since my last post). I just got home from work and am trying to catch up on everything.dybeck wrote:There's been a lot of posting in the last little while.
Anyone reading through should note that if they fail to read it all, the bottom line is that we're lynching Knight of Cydonia.

Yeah, I noticed that too. I am about 40% sure that he's doing it on purpose.

I'm not sure who posted this and when (I'm guessing Kinetic and sometime in the past 17 hours ), but the B5 condition is wrong.Minbari: Kill Unaligned and Earthforce, are hunted by B5 and Earthforce
Earthforce: Kill B5 and Minbari, are hunted by Narn and Minbari
Babylon 5: Kill Centauri and Minbari, are hunted by Earthforce and Unaligned
Centauri: Kill unaligned and Narn, are hunted by B5 and Narn
Narn: Kill Earthforce and Narn, are hunted by Minbari and Centauri
Unaligned: Kill Centauri and B5, are hunted by Minbari and Centauri
B5 needs to kill EF and Minbari.On a long enough timeline, the survival rate for everyone drops to zero.

If she's scum, that's technically a good way to look like you tried to help with the lynch when in fact you didn't. It's far-stretched, I know. I'm hoping Tar won't be that anal since she did it the right way very quick-like.Kinetic wrote:
Would it be considered a rule <1a> violation of DGB or Tar if a no-lynch was forced because someone forgot to unvote? That would be funny. (ironic funny, not haha funny)DrippingGoofball wrote:No, I had not unvoted veerus.

I understand that in games with nights, twilight is the time between the hammer vote and the mod locking the thread.Kinetic wrote:Also guys, we have at least 12 hours of twilight (according to the rules), so any discussion can continue. I'd love if KoC would still race claim (rofl).

So much for people trying to fulfill their WC's and end games early... Kinetic, I think now would be a good time to reveal why you only had 18 races listed in one of your earlier posts. (or if you want to wait until the day officially starts, that's fine too)
Tar, I search the corpse of KOC, the slain Minbari. Do I find any implicating items?
Maybe... - TarOn a long enough timeline, the survival rate for everyone drops to zero.

He's probably a Vorlon Operative Godfather who also happens to be a Minbari. I doubt all Minbari are scum.. that would be too easy.forbiddanlight wrote:
Any ideas what to make of this? Because I'm looking intently at the other Minbari right now.Tarhalindur wrote:
