No, I don't think you did. Cateraction was referring to the fact that Spartacus was a gladiator.BloodCovenent wrote:Yea, I didn't call it a gladius. But I still got it.
Of course, the way it looks right now, is that everyone, or almost everyone was given the name Spartacus. But each one has a specific role under that. So claiming Spartacus right now, is actually, and probably was pointless from the beginning. the only one that i don't know about, is Spolium. Thus why i Originally voted for him.muzzz wrote:No, I don't think you did. Cateraction was referring to the fact that Spartacus was a gladiator.BloodCovenent wrote:Yea, I didn't call it a gladius.

If you really did get that part, you'd have been expecting someone else to have the same info about Spartacus, making your attack on Pads completely bogus.
Problem is, we were all given the name Spartacus. I don't know why, i guess it was just to confuse us or something. So, my suggestion... is that we disregard the whole Spartacus debate, on who really is. We probably all are. But one person i didn't get, was Spolium.Like, i have no idea what Spolium is talking about, it doesn't sound like something from a Gladiator movie. Does anyone else have any history or knowledge of other Kubrick films?Spolium wrote:
I am drinking a bottle of Frothy Moth right now, and it feels like my throat's come back from the dead. This is highly unlikely to be a coincidence.
If you were aware that at least two people (you, cateraction) knew about Spartacus then you shouldn't have been surprised that a third person (pads) also knew.BloodCovenent wrote:Can you explain that a little more? How would this make my attack on Pads bogus?

You're essentially suggesting that the pool of targets be narrowed for scum. I fail to see the benefit in doing so, particularly when I'M SPARTACUS.Fishythefish wrote:I strongly disagree all townies should claim spartacus. From the scum's pov, spartacus may well not exist (except, of course, that I am him).
Spartacus is a likely protown role. So are his followers- ie. his fellow claimants. People with information about spartacus are likely to be protown. Everyone claiming spartacus negates this absolutely. I would strongly encourage any townie who does not have a good reason from claiming spartacus to refrain from doing so, or to withdraw their claim if they have claimed already.
It is not at all clear whether spartacus claimants make good or bad targets for the scum- we have no information about the role, or indeed existence, of spartacus, or of the role(s) of people with good (ie. role-related) reason to claim spartacus, and it is certainly not obvious that spartacus, if he does exist, will claim. I hardly see it helping the scum, unless they have some serious and unlikely information. On the other hand, it may well help townies to find out who is scum- since the spartacans would to some extent form an informed minority of townies. The scum could barely risk joining this minority, since if questioned it would become obvious that they didn't really know what was going on.Spolium wrote:You're essentially suggesting that the pool of targets be narrowed for scum.

I agree with the first paragraph, and I want to clear my name by saying I had very little time to post on that day. I read and responded to Archon's post as it was first in line and I had to split.Fishythefish wrote:I strongly disagree all townies should claim spartacus.

lazurus posted immediately after the spartacus claim. I am surprised and suspicious at the lack of an immediate counterclaim here.

because there is something in there that 99% confirmed you for me.

The reasons for this will become clear in time. However, divulging them now would be anti-town.
Oh, and I really, really, really am Spartacus.

Question to all: Does anyone else see what I saw? If so and you can answer it correctly you will be confirmed in my mind. DO NOT COME OUT AND SAY IT. I want to save it for if someone claims to pick up the crumb - and later if pressed, can't produce the right answer, we will pretty much have confirmed scum.
So:Who sees the perceived crumb (whether Fishy meant it or not)?
This is along the lines of what I was thinking. For people who posted after this post by Fishy, however, it's a bit muddier. Still, there were some reactions to the Spartacus claiming that struck me as unnatural. Ortolan's Post 36 and Cateraction's Post 41, complete with misspelling of the Role Name, specifically.From extra information via my role, I can say, with very good certainty indeed, thatPadsand Blood are both town, for reasons which will probably be clear to them but not to the rest of the town.

i share your concern with the claims of Spartacus by cater and orto, but i'm not sure if the misspelling really makes a difference. I'll also look into this thing with lazar. And i'll reread the thread tomorrow. and see what i can find.Pads wrote:This is along the lines of what I was thinking. For people who posted after this post by Fishy, however, it's a bit muddier.

However, it seems unlikely that we'll be able to find scum solely by figuring out who is not Spartacus, but it's as good of a place to start as any.

'Not having much time to read and post' doesn't work for me when it was a single line claiming a role that he didn't claim in his first post after the claim, but then tried to claim later on the same page.
