Lynch count reached


The shoppers were all concerned. One or more among them had to have been responsible for these deaths at night. Discussion quickly turned to Albert B. Rampage who had been acting strangely at the end of the previous day. Was his strange activity because he was eager to kill again? Or was is because he was bored with the waiting? The shoppers decided that there was one way to know for sure. So they surrounded him and knocked him to the ground. Because none among them had revealed any weapons, the only way they had to kill this man was to beat him to death. So, they proceeded to do so. His response was strange. He asked if someone else could take the beating in his place. But in the end, the group decided that nobody could do so, and continued to beat him and kick him.
After his bloodied and bruised body had stopped twitching, and even the more sadistic members of the group had become bored with kicking his dead body, the group slowly converged to investigate. What they found was... nothing. Nothing out of the ordinary. Nothing that made this man suspicious. Just a normal individual, with no extraordinary features. Just as he had claimed to be. But nobody had believed him. His strangeness had seemed to be too strange. Everyone leaves the store for the night. Some question whether they are at fault for his death. Others reason to themselves that it was his behavior that got him killed - that it was his own fault and not the fault of any members of this group. And at least one person was feeling quite happy at the slowly reducing numbers of this group.

The number of people going shopping has been decreasing each and every day. Most of the shoppers are now living in perpetual fear for their lives. One person, named semioldguy just arrived yesterday, replacing another shopper that had gone missing. Unfortunately for him, arriving in the store turns out not to have been in his best interests. Someone saw him there, and decided to kill him tonight.
Now, this person decides to execute this plan, and semioldguy. The only comfort that can be had about all of this is that semioldguy never even knows that the bullet is coming. He is dead before he can react. His body drops to the ground, and his killer runs away from the scene of the crime, knowing that one more victim has been killed, and he is one step closer to seeing his enemies disappear.
Later during the night, CallMeLiam is returning from some task that he had performed. He seems to be satisfied with himself over the success of his task. Unfortunately for him, events are about to take a turn that is very much not to his benefit. CallMeLiam's great night is about to be ruined. By a murder. It is too bad. He was doing so well. But now, someone has decided to kill him.
CallMeLiam sees someone coming at him, and turns around to run away. Unfortunately, he cannot run fast enough. His assailant catches up to him, and starts to attack him. CallMeLiam starts making threats, but his attacker does not stop. Then he starts begging for his life, but his attacker still does not stop. Eventually, he goes silent, and his eyes are unblinkingly staring into the night. Finally, his killer stops. And smiles. And slowly walks away.
After this busy night, morning arrives. And the shoppers see the result of the carnage that occurred last night. There are two dead bodies tonight. What does this mean? Are there people out there capable of giving help to the normal folk? Or are there more enemies than have been suspected?
Whatever the case may be, the bodies have to be searched for clues. When searching semioldguy's body, it is discovered that he was just another regular person innocently going about his business. Just like all of the people that have been dying since that very first night. Why are all of the good people in this store dying? It has been so long since an enemy has been killed. Or maybe not.
CallMeLiam's body must be searched as well. And it turns out that CallMeLiam was allied with JoshLyman, who had died at the very beginning of this fiasco. Finally, there is a cause for rejoicing. But more is found on CallMeLiam. Apparently, he had the ability to stop people from doing anything during the night. A powerful enemy has been eliminated! Finally, some good news among all of this chaos.

ok, here is the problem I have: if he thought that you weren't scummy then he believed your bulletproof claim, so why would he protect you?

k.

/in to massclaim. popcorn, starting when 3 people agree to massclaim. muh has full claimed, so once three have agreed I want him fullclaim using the form and also pick who does a fullclaim second. That person will full-claim in a single post, which shall include the following information:

1. Active Abilities
2. Passive Abilities
3. Groups (will passive abilities and active abilities)
4. Faction
5. Targets, Actions and/or Results if your role has them
6. Reasons for your targets
7. name of the next person who will claim

keep in mind the rule

that's how it has been explained to me. there are few times when a no lynch benefits town, but it is generally done without any discussion and certainly not after a massclaim. i'm sure there are threads about it in the discussion forum.

i'm fine with massclaim.

wiki it. its "standardness" is debatable. it is a viable strategy, however, and if it were to be used, this is exactly the type of situation where it would be most beneficial. that is assuming three scum, however. i am confident in that number.

no. link us to where it "was explained" to you. The specific syntax of "that's how it has been explained to me" infers the existence of a conversation where someone explained the tactic of NL with 5 alive in a 12 player 3 scum on one faction game to you in a convincing way, and that you remember that conversation.

I want proof that that conversation exists.
