With

votes to lynch.

[Antihero]

I'm for a massclaim, too. Who should go first?

My attack on fishy was mostly out of anger (I was in a bad mood at the time), but I do notice he said tons more about Llama's play but I ended up getting the vote because...

OK, no, nix that. My fishy scumread is completely legit. Packbat didn't mention me? Yeah, and he didn't mention you either. Also, the implication of PB not mentioning vezok was that they were scum together, just in case you missed it. Also, your reasoning on Llama looks a lot more detailed a thought out, but you went with the easier target instead even though the theory is half-baked at best.

VOTE: Fishythefish

AH: I had that post typed out before Parama posted. If you think I can make that in 9 minutes, you overestimate my abilities.

Yeah, I would believe that if you were talking about the paragraph on llamafluff. I could completely see you typing the 3 sentences on me in about a couple minutes, though.

[Ghostlin]

Ms. Sorkowitz, a vanilla townie.

I'm a teacher at the school. I'm trying to get the bullying to end.

[Antihero]

Timulty, VT.

I'm trying to help my older brother and prove to him that I'm not useless (lol).

[Zyrconium]

Millie Mudd, Vig.

Rebel, irked by persistent bullies and fire-loving, may cause death(I may be going overboard with the paraphrasing, I'm not sure how different it has to be not to be like quoting, intentions are the same, but almost none of the words.)

LyMP died mostly cause he'd already got most of a lynch on his ass, and because I'd be sorely tempted to have killed him the next day(with the lynching) had he not died.

Pack died mostly so I could have a better idea of Parama's alignment... Parama making me a little nervous about my Ghost-scum read(and there wasn't a close second on my scumlist, actually Emp was second, but he hadn't moved up or down since mid day 1.) with his absolute certainty otherwise and my scumhunting so far being seemingly subpar.... I was somewhat shocked and amazed Pack was actually scum...

P.S. I needed a better read on Parama cause he seemed town all through day 1, and in day 2 all he did was say things I disagreed with.... was confusing.

Second choice was less obvious, and took me most of the night to choose as a result...

I think that's full disclosure....

[Parama]

@Mod: I unvoted Zyrc a while back BTW... post 469.

[Parama]

BTW, I'm waiting on mod response for my paraphrase... other than that I am completely ready to claim, but we're apparently not popcorning so I'mma wait until the end ^.^
I already have everything typed up though so.

[StrangerCoug]

@Mod: I unvoted Zyrc a while back BTW... post 469.

Fixed both counts since.

[Parama]

Paraphrase cleared the mod btw.
Still gonna wait until someone makes me claim

There is a lot more to say about Llama/Packbat. That doesn't make the interaction scummier - it's more "detailed" because there was some actual posting between them. The fact that I didn't interact with Packbat much/at all has literally no bearing on how I view the interactions of others with him. I think someone PB didn't talk with at all is a very good candidate for a scumbuddy; if that applies to me it's rather unfortunate, but (for my scumreads) totally irrelevant.

[StrangerCoug]

Have you guys looked at the front page (of Ozy and Millie, not mafiascum.net) lately? Not a bad-looking new banner.

[LlamaFluff]

Captain Locke - Vanilla Townie, had to come out from under the couch cousins to stop the bullying

Parama - Claim

Okay, so let's get this over with...

What the hell have I been doing with all these puzzles? Let's find out.

If anyone was actually able to solve this one, I applaud you, because I designed it specifically to be near-impossible to figure out. Same goes for the second puzzle; the rest were simpler to solve.

Here's the key: If there are two letters in the same column or row, they are eliminated and are not part of the solution.

For example: Look at the first row. See how there are two B's in that row? That means that neither is part of the solution. Now look at the second column. See how there are two G's in that column? Again, not part of the solution.

But two letters that are in the same DIAGONAL do not get eliminated.

This is what the image at the bottom of the puzzle was trying to convey.

What do you get when you take out every letter that isn't part of the solution?

   D   V   
A      R   
    K     E

Hey look, my role name! I'm such a geek, heh. Which was kinda the point of making these puzzles. Also it's fun.

Anyways, next one.

If you got this one... I hail thee as a puzzle god. Because the clue was so unspecific that it damn well could've meant anything, and should've made it literally impossible to solve. Neato.

Anyways... what DOES it mean? The number 4 is key...
Go 4 to the left from the top, then take the first 4 letters in that column.
BWGA

Now apply a 4 letter shift forwards, like so:
A becomes E, B becoms F etc.
Here's a full list of all shifts:

Code: Select all

ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ
EFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZABCD

Now let's take the 4 letters from before and apply a shift to them.
B becomes F
W becomes A
G becomes K
A becomes E

Hey look, it spells fake! Wait, does that mean Parama's fakeclaiming?
Well... not quite. It means the contents of the rest of the puzzles are simply attempts to mislead the scum into thinking I'm a power role when I'm not. It's like breadcrumbing cop without being cop... if I was dead and had flipped, every single piece of information that the puzzles hid would be shown to be worthless, as a VT doesn't really breadcrumb anything legitimately, right? So pretty much the town wouldn't have wasted time with the puzzles once I'd flipped, I hope

Anyways onto that third puzzle.

    O K

The letters that are a part of the solution are between the letters O and K on a single row. And yes that means the letters could also be O or K as long as they were between those two letters as well. I made sure there were no OOKK's though

Code: Select all

  OIK      
    ONK    
           
 ONK       
      OOK  
    OCK    
OEK        
        ONK
     OTK   

What are the letters between these O and K's?
I-N-N-O-C-E-N-T. First signs of my "breadcrumb".

On who, you ask?

...yeah this is pretty lame because I had to rush on this one. Didn't expect D2 to end so quickly (quickhammer <_<) but I wanted to get this out here... if I was "legitimately" a cop and scum had figured out those last two combined with my behavior throughout the day... they probably would've killed me. Which actually would've been a shame that late into the game (didn't quite think it through all the way... I hate being dead at an endgame where I know exactly who the scum is and nobody else does because they're morons).

But yeah. Just take the first letter of each of those words. G-H-O-S-T-L-I-N. That's my "innocent" so to speak.

Next one, which will be completely useless anyways since I didn't post a follow-up to it, and I don't actually have one made yet (these were very spontaneously made).

The key: If you follow the coordinates I gave there, the first being column number and the second being row number, you get some sort of nonsense. BUT. If you start from the very last number, and flip all the coordinates around, like so:
(7,4) (4,1) (1,9) (5,5) (3,2) (8,6)
You get the actual coordinates.

What letters do they point to?

Code: Select all

       Y   
           
           
I          

In order, they spell G-U-I-L-T-Y.

Who was that guilty on?
I was going to put werewolf, but frankly it's kinda irrelevant now.

[Parama]

tl;dr version:

Stephan Aardvarke, Vanilla Townie

I’m the computer geek who wanted in the dotcom bubble until it went out the window. School has its own bubble – the bullying problem – but this time I want to burst it.

Day 1: Three major wagons. If we accept scum was on each one, and that seems likely, considering the Zyrc wagon Day 1 has PB, and the vezok and LMP wagons are both mislynches, and the only person who voted for PB was town, it does leave all of town remaining. However, if there are three scum, the remaining people on the wagon MUST be town.

From LMP: Zyrconium, werewolf555
From vezok: Parama, Llama, Fishyfish, Antihero, Ghostlin

Day 2: Some idiot quickhammered Day 2. We know everyone on my wagon is innocent. We know PB was the scum on the wagon on Day 2. There are two theories to weed out the remaining scum. Let's say the scum were waiting to hammer Day 2 and the idiot beat them to the pinch. There were exactly two no votes, both of which were on different wagons Day 1 if you accept the first postulate: werewolf and antihero. Werewolf has claimed Cop and claimed to be blocked since Night 1. Antihero has claimed VT and has sorta been active lurking.

The second postulate involves you all voting me for being a moron Day 2. I have no defense except I was a moron, and both Packbat and werewolf have since lampshaded me somewhat. Quotes with that, to follow.

[Fishythefish]

Mr Larnblatt, VT. The bullying is terrible - on a par with my band's music - and needs to be stopped.

[Parama]

Okay, so Zyrc is SK.

[Antihero]

Okay, so Zyrc is SK.

lolreally?

The only other power roles for town claimed/flipped are cop and miller. I'm inclined to believe Zyrc's vig claim.

Also, Ozy isn't in this game?

I think someone PB didn't talk with at all is a very good candidate for a scumbuddy; if that applies to me it's rather unfortunate, but (for my scumreads) totally irrelevant.

If your scumtell applies to yourself (if you're a townie, you know yourself to be town, right?), I would think you would want to reevaluate the validity of the scumtell.

I guess not, here.
