No, not at all. All we know is that if one dies, so does the other. No talking outside the thread for us.
This changes the context of this:
DTMaster wrote:Therefore it is possible to have lovers with 1 scum and 1 town, having an odd number for both factions. This link makes it possible. Why am I claiming now, I find my lover to be scummy right now.
Which will take a little more work.

I want to hear more from DT.

Is it just me, or did smashbro just admit to sending in the mafia kill?

DTM is fake-claiming lovers, obviously.
I don't see the problem. If DTM is willing to die on a case that he himself doesn't see any merit to, all the power to him.

How is that saying I killed Miles? I was asked why I am not getting a read on his death, so I said that neither one of my suspicions coming from a nightkill were valid. If you are getting other tells from it (the death of Miles), then go ahead and say them, my word is not law. But not being able to get a read from the nightkill does not make someone scummy.

Wat to what?
I hope it's not the first sentence, because I like my posts uncluttered by sarcasm tags, and would so hate to have that ruined for me.
If it's the second sentence, then again, I don't see why you're asking for DTM to make a case. You want smashbro dead, so it can't be to convince you. If DTM's case is good, we lynch smashbro, he flips scum, all good. If DTM's case is bad, we lynch smashbro, he flips town, DTM flips scum, and we are again all good.
I just don't see the point of you asking for a case from DTM.

This implies that you actively searched for something. I'm not going to be too concerned about this now, though.

Aww, I guess it probably does. Oh well.

I guess I have to ask this explicitly: Why do you want DTM to make a case on smashbro?

I never explicitly said I did. I just want more comments on the subject.

Also, I really hope your colors are a PR, or DIE.

I agree that olive is ugly, but I was left with no choice when Kairyuu claimed green at the beginning of the game.
Don't worry. There is only two and a half more hours to go until I can stop posting in olive.

@General Questions

1. I am Lucy (from Elfen Lied) while smashbo_of_the_SSS is Kouta (from Elfen Lied). We are lovers.

2. We do not have the ability to talk to each other. We are not masons/neighbours/etc. As Smash, engrishly said.

3. We cannot confirm each other's alignment.

@SocialPath

About the setup guesswork:

a. I wanted to present the element of lovers (7 town, 3 scum, 2 lynchers where 1 town and 1 scum is likely). Reason? If a lover was lynched today: it would result in 2 deaths by lynching, and 1 by night kill (assuming worst case scenerio). Let's play this out.

1. If we are in 3 scum, 2 lyncher with 2 townie lovers: that means
we are in Mylo right now
If we lynch lovers and they flip townie, or if lovers die from NK: that means scum wins at day 3.

I find this setup horribly unbalanced considering town did not mislynch yet (a lyncher is a 3rd party anti-town role).

2. We have lovers with 1 scum and 1 town. This works in a 3 scum 7 townie ratio you worked out.

3. If we just have 2 scum due to: 2 lovers, 2 lynchers/lynchees, the day will end with 3 deaths again. If the 2 lovers are town then: tomorrow will be mylo with 6 people, rather then carrying lovers into mylo.

Summary: I rather focus on getting better reads on my lover now, rather then wait because of potential mylo today/tomorrow. SS has lurked through day 1.


@Nikanor
So I claim fake lovers to Smash unprovoked? Nice theory. Given that it would assume that Smash is scum with me. Lynch one of us, and the other dies. It could be today, or tomorrow, either way it's a blood bath. Assuming 3 scum, I'd rather focus on this issue in my role:

I don't know the alignment of my Lover
and since SS has been very lurkey all of day 1, I rather not carry this into lylo given that scum can force an early win with a 2 for 1 kill. Plus, read above:
we could be in mylo right now

@Smash:

You don't have reads on anyone at all, all game? You seem to have a town read on Miles. What about the other players.

Damn it DTM. Also, we're not in mylo. If there ARE three scum, one of them is a lover. It's that simple. Anything else would be imbalanced to the point of goofiness.

Come to think of it, smashbro's behaviour perfectly matches that of a lynchproof kill-immune serial killer lover. Hmmm.

Bleh. It bothers me to watch you all continue to put effort into this game when magnus and I noticed the rather glaring flaw in it.

Scum have almost no chance of losing right now, due to a progression that your idiot mod didn't foresee. I've PMed MeMe about getting permission for a restart (after rebalancing and some role shuffling to avoid having the setup broken by people remembering their roles). If you're interested in playing in the restarted game (assuming permission is granted), simply /in in this thread, and any who don't want to participate in the restart will have replacements hunted down for them.

Since this is not an open game, and since it will hopefully be restarted, I would ask that no further role information be shared, as some of it will pretty much have to be reused, and I'd prefer to avoid confirmations via that method.

My apologies for the wasted effort put into a broken game.
Because, no matter how you dress it up, that's what the world is. A community of idiots doing a series of things until the world explodes and we all die.

@Nikanor

We "could be in mylo", even if it's giggle worthy of horribly imbalance against the town, I'd rather deal with the lovers issue now rather then tomorrow.

It's obvious that the lovers were town to each other, and we had lynchers, and we had 3 aligned scum lol

Yes, that much is clear.
I'm using that information to pull the 3 scum out though.

/in also

I'll say: UK, NIK, EF

Just to pull names out of my ass.

MeMe has just given permission for the restart.

The problem was that, if the lynchers were eliminated D1, and the lovers were outted D2, then the scum would win automatically N2. This possibility escaped me when I was originally balancing the game, which is why I went ahead with such a craptastic setup design.

It shouldn't take me more than a day, maybe two, to rebalance the game and change up enough things to keep it from being breakable by claims, so like I said, if you want to re/in, please do so in thread, and when I have confirmations from everyone playing that they either do or do not wish to play, I will see about getting the replacements necessary.
