OK. So the people who thought I was faking are correct - I was trying to activate my ultimate.

Here are my current impressions of the game:
1) A Tar lynch would almost certainly have some interesting effects. I don't think we have any way to know whether they would hurt the town or help the town. Thus I don't like caboose's opposition to it.

2) My instinct is to believe Empking's claim. Acting a little bit scummy to gain your ultimate makes sense to me. He's probably not worth lynching yet, but I would not act to stop him being killed.

3) This game will become much, much screwier before it is done.

vote: caboose

FOS: Tarhalindur

[qwints]

How exactly is he mentioned in your PM?

This response is sufficient to prove he's not scum!?

[qwints]

Was farside a jester too?

[qwints]

vote: Tarhalindur

for putting multiple jesters in a game.

What's with the fos xylthixlm?

[qwints]

I was faking the post restriction. I won't comment on the ultimate question.

[qwints]

Well spotted xyl!

unvote

vote: Machiavellian-Mafia[/]

To those asking why I faked the post restriction - I've already said I was trying to activate my ultimate and that I will no say no more on it. To the question of how long I was planning to do so - just the first day. This is again due to how my ultimate works.

As for scum hunting - I haven't seen anything scream anti-town post jester. I currently think a tar lynch is a good idea because it will probably reduce the amount of craziness the town will have to deal with.

vote: Machiavellian-Mafia

[qwints]

hmm i'm not listed as voting but i think that's a mod error

but to test:

unvote vote blakadder

this should be going to qwints, although blakadder isn't a bad vote either

You need to vote pacman to vote me. Voting blackadder counts for shadowgirl.


@xsilent,
I already said I'm not revealing anything about my ultimate.

[qwints]

That may be the best reason for a self vote that I've ever seen.

[qwints]

I really don't like blackadder's claim that he's just playing normally when others accuse him of scummy behavior. I still haven't a solid explanation for his behavior.

unvote, vote qwints

(blackadder)

[qwints]

I don't claim faking it was pro-town. I don't think it hurt the town too much, and I would have stopped sooner had it proved problematic.

[qwints]

Blackadder, how about you add something new instead of repeating the same old non-defense?

[qwints]

Both you and context seem to have votes that aren't working...

[qwints]

i was actually gonna say choose Tarhalindur as that could clear up A LOT of confusion[/quote]

That is a great idea.

BTW, revealing my role pm won't particularly help or hurt the town.

[qwints]

He sent one in MS2

[qwints]

Oh what new wonders will we learn!

[qwints]

vote: Machiavellian-Mafia

Context, can you please explain your last post echoing kinetic?

[qwints]

Well, context's repeated Hasturs are starting to scare me a little.

WTF, why isn't kinetic on the player list?

unvote, vote Tarhalindur

(Context)

[qwints]

Oh, is a context an alt of kinetic?

[qwints]

I remain suspicious of Context,

FOS: context

, but screw this insane mod nonsense. STRING HIM UP!

unvote, vote: Machiavellian-Mafia

(Tar)

[qwints]

Never let a claimed sk live. Hascow, you're going to get pressured on that counting thing tomorrow.

[qwints]

I have reason to believe that the BACK UP MOD is a player in the game.

I think we need to lynch him.

That would just be crazy screwy.

I don't like Cehprir's line about this game moving too fast to require attention, so

vote: Stef

(Cephrir)

[qwints]

vote:Seraphim

(tao)

I don't buy the squirming over the past few pages.

[qwints]

This game is going crazy fast.

unvote

based on the claim. I should have be read-up sometime over the next day.

[qwints]

unvote, Vote:malthusis

(kairyuu)

Now I really want to know your alignment.

[qwints]

It's neutral. I told you that. All you will do is confirm my claim.

But you've already admitted to lying.

[qwints]

vote: malthusis

[qwints]

For the record, I will survive a vigging.

[qwints]

I'll be V/LA for the next week

[qwints]

I'm back.

Mafia safeclaim
Mafia falseclaim
Mafia kill

Mafia factionkill
Mafia nightkill

Suspicion to those who don't post!

[qwints]

I'm now totally lost. I need to re-read. YIKES!

[qwints]

qwints did something not pro-town. The possible reasons are that he's incompetent or that he isn't town. He knew it wasn't pro-town, so it wasn't incompetence. That leaves "not town".

This is a false dilemma.

[qwints]

vote:Cephrir

xyl, now you're just being dense. Every player in the game has an additional condition to fulfill - their ultimate. That combined with others' observation that you seem to be active lurking deserves my vote.

[qwints]

because if activating your ultimate is good for the town, then faking [a post restriction] would have been pro-town.

This is obviously wrong.

[qwints]

The thing I did to activate my ultimate would still be anti-town if I failed to activate my ultimate.

[qwints]

The thing I did to activate my ultimate would still be anti-town if I failed to activate my ultimate.

So you're saying that your fake post restriction was a bad idea?

Yes. It also was not the only way of achieving my ultimate.

[qwints]

I see I've been requested to do a pretty thorough read. I'll try to get to that tonight.

Quick summary:

xyl scummy becuase of the whole "What is town, anyway?" thing.
Kinetic - don't have a solid read. Normally I don't like the "confused by mechanics" excuse, but it is Mind Screw
M-M: not much activity to build a read on, don't like his hesitance to post the mafia role abilities
pop: the anger at being investigated is being suspicious

As to my ultimate condition, the only thing I will say is that I was trying to be annoying without being disruptive.

[qwints]

(6)

from what I understand qwints apparently thinks that he needs to meet his ultimate condition to win,

I've never said that. I was trying to activate my ultimate because it is a useful ability (that is, it might help the town win), not as part of a win condition. I used a method that many would find annoying in order to try and activate it. Being annoying is often anti-town.

I win with the town with no added win condition.

[qwints]

hmm, somebody tried to kill me yesterday.

[qwints]

ultimate info

[qwints]

I appear to be on a roll.

Vote: hp [leaves]

(qwints)

Any particular reason for this vote?

[qwints]

Pardon my not paying attention, are Pesco's investigation results revealed by his death by any means or only his lynch?

[qwints]

I was basically wondering whether we were risking losing the investigations if we didn't lynch. I think a vig would probably have hit pesco yesterday after his claim. I'm fine with a pesco lynch today, but one more investigation couldn't hurt.

[qwints]

vote: populartajo

It's worth getting the results now.

[qwints]

vote: qwints

Why make yourself a target by saying you can help the town without revealing more?

[qwints]

Plausible, but certainly not convincing. My flavor is also computer related, but not from a movie.

[qwints]

My flavor is very similar to ShadowGirl. (pro-to

[qwints]

*wn villain) My ultimate is similar as well.

[qwints]

Hm, should I bother with my real claim (which I have partially said, just played around with some of the details... well, most of them) or are you all satisfied with what I've said already?

Come on. You should have told the truth the first time.

vote: qwints

[qwints]

When did you choose which ability?

[qwints]

WTF? Why is player Tar back?

He's not. I'd hazard that *somebody* has the ability to speak through the Mod. - Tar

[qwints]

Scary stuff. I am, however, really reluctant to try and figure out role powers in a mind screw game.

[qwints]

zwet, I want a full claim of your ultimate. We're too late on the game to rely on unsubstantiated assertions.

Caboose, you've got a lot of work to do.

[qwints]

ok, i've had enough of that cultish shit to take any more chances.

vote xylthixlm

[qwints]

Why post something so suspicious on day 7? I'd feel really stupid if a scum/cult-related post restriction got passed off as a running joke.

[qwints]

I'm a mostly vanilla townie, so I find zwet's claim possible. That doesn't mean I find it plausible.

[qwints]

Eh???

I'm saying that your claim is not a priori impossible, but that I don't believe it.

[qwints]

That would be a tragedy.

But, since we're not.... DEATH TO ZWET!

[qwints]

I assume it's an OMGUS by a player who forgot about the vote cycling.

[qwints]

unvote

Mindscrew lives up to its name.

Mysterious voice, the time for mystery is at an end. Explain more or tell us why you can't. Otherwise, I'll just ignore you.

[qwints]

vote zwet

The HHH thing still bothers me and the mysterious voice isn't credible enough to outweigh that.

[qwints]

oops, my bad on the vote rotation. Just in case ...

unvote, vote xyl

[qwints]

DAMN YOU MYSTERIOUS VOICE!!!

I also await an explanation from caboose.

[qwints]

I'm just posting to note that I was gone for the last three days - the hotel I was at didn't have free internet. I'll re-read as soon as I get the chance and post.

[qwints]

I am having trouble believing that we have four M.V.T.'s and

none

of them died until day 7.

As I already noted, my ultimate made me bulletproof. Someone did try to kill me at some point. Thus M.V.T's may have significant powers which helped them survive.

[qwints]

"I don't know, fly casual!"

In other news, qwints has been prodded. - Tar[/color][/b]


Not Voting (7): hp [leaves], qwints, Seraphim, Caboose II, iamausername, Xylthixlm, CarnCarn

Votes required to lynch:

Not FoS'ing (8): hp [leaves], qwints, Seraphim, Caboose II, iamausername, Xylthixlm, CarnCarn

Current and Final Deadline:

March 18, 2009 at ~6:00 P.M. CST (GMT -6)

Weird things from the last vote count; looks like we've got an invisible or double FOS'er. Also, I wasn't actually prodded...

[qwints]

But there is one more not FOS'ing than not voting.

[qwints]

I see.

[qwints]

I propose a limited mass claim at this time. - that is, reveal any and all information you have learned without revealing your role.

All I know is that someone tried to kill me.

[qwints]

Least has to be me:

The only thing I know is that someone tried to kill me on January 16th which means they tried to target me on day 4. My ultimate saved me and informed me I had been targeted, but not by whom.

Anyone with similar amount of information should post next.

[qwints]

vote: caboose

I'm also from PORTAL. I was the villain in the game, but I am pro-town (as confirmed by investigation) Thus I think Caboose is more likely to be scum.

Secondly, we were not claiming roles, only information.

[qwints]

unvote, vote Seraphim

my bad.

[qwints]

Damn, what a stupid way to lose.
Sorry for screwing up my first vote guys.
