If I were scum, I'd make up a gut read (on SK or redcoyote for example) at this point. Since I'm town, I'm sadly forced to deal with my inability to find scum in this game.

Good to see I still have that in me.

The trouble is that that little caveat feels like "I'm being anti town right now, so let me show you I'm pro town for an anti town behavior. Totes!"

What you'd do "If you were scum" doesn't really matter in a self reported situation.

Reporting your own meta will hardly ever, if ever, do any good, and it just looks suspicious to do so.

I'd be very much surprised even people thought I was pro-town over this, I know that's not how this game goes. I'm just throwing it out there because I knew someone was going to go after me over it, so I might as well start defending myself. And I wouldn't say "Totes!".

It's true though. I've never lied about stuff like this as people don't take you seriously anyway.

But if no one believes you, what is the point of saying it? How does it at all further the town's goal to say something that won't be believed and makes you look scummier?

Alright, well, my character is Bullwinkle J. Moose.

I'm essentially a VT, but I have one power that I don't control. One random player's actions will not go through each night as long as I'm alive. My role does not specify who this is or if it's even the same person each night.

I hope that's good enough of a paraphrase. Last time I had to paraphrase the Mod was so upset that he banned me from all of his future games.

Anyways, now that I'm out, I probably wouldn't be the worst lynch (assuming a majority believes I'm scum) because my power is more likely to hurt the town than it is to help it. I'd like to hear from SK next personally, because he's still my favorite lynch at the moment.

Your role doesn't specify any bit of information about who it might affect? Also, can we get some kind of explanation as to why Bullwinkle might cause such an effect?

Does your role have a generic name? Like doctor, roleblocker, random roleblocker, flying pumpkin that shoots lasers out of its ass, etc.

I'm Jack O'Neill (of Stargate SG-1 notoriety), and I...have no idea what I do.

I'm a Town Amnesiac. I have two abilities, but I don't know what either of them do. Every night I can PM the mod to say whether I want to use Ability #1 or Ability #2, and who I want to use it on. Last night I targeted Spyrex, and nothing seemed to happen.

SPS goes next.

(Oh, and those little area segments I sometimes included in my posts were sorta-kinda hints at my name, but were mostly just for lulz.)

@Ythan: No to the first question, and, as for the second question, I would just surmise that, as a cartoon character, specifically one that relies on slapstick humor, it would kind of fit that my roleblock would be random and unknown. Additionally, it randomness in night actions appears to be a theme, to play outguessing a little bit.

@Nikanor: Yes, "Town Warp". I was hesitant to include this because I don't want the Mod to give me any points, or something worse. I've never heard of this role name before.

I provided the flavor segments for my entertainment, but they also hinted at my name through attitude similarity and at least one direct reference ("I've killed deities"). I'm not getting why you're focusing in on this.

Why so touchy about such a simple request? And seriously, attitude similarity? That's a hint?

You seem to be doing an awful lot of inquiry into something that isn't scumhunting-relevant, and I'm trying to figure out why. And who said I expected you to figure out my name? Like I said, I did the flavor stuff mostly for the lulz.

I asked one incredibly simple question. You are responding poorly.
