In the Court of the Gods (Game Over)

[Equinox]

I've been holding onto this since this morning, and I was hoping I could post it as close to night phase as possible. Now I'm just tired of waiting, so I'll leave this here and hope something cool happens while I'm knee-deep in this thread, picking it apart.

I've been reading, and I came across this gem from SpyreX:

BUT, don't confuse LONG deadline with "twiddly thumb dance party". If the stars align and its death time early, don't pish posh it.

That said the Jack-move doesn't bother me.

I believe this was mentioned previously, but the wording in SpyreX's second sentence is pretty weird and appears to be forced. I'm thinking that this is SpyreX's return receipt for a message someone sent prior to this.

Looking for telegraphs but not looking for a confirmation from SpyreX is a fool's errand. Sorry, DrippingGoofball, I know you've put effort into this game and have done great good for this town; however, I am going to say now that you have been blinded by your followers, and I am not going to let you drive us off the cliff because of it.

If Jack flips scum, this message from SpyreX is the key to unraveling the next scumbag. The second line (third sentence) of this post is most likely his confirmation of Jack, so we're looking for someone who, in the same message, conveyed that Jack was with them.

Scum, this is my challenge to you.

Are you going to take a chance and try to lynch me? DrippingGoofball is correct in that I'm a very difficult lynch. I can't even push my own lynch; that should say something, and I'm not even trying to save my own skin because I really don't care at this point.

Kill me before I find you, or I

will

hunt down every single one of you and then watch as you slowly gag on the rope.

I think DGB is blowing traitor communication absurdly out of proportion. To suppose that we're going to catch all the scum by catching them telling Spyrex they are scum is just ridiculous. All the hints she points out

could

be scum signalling the traitor. But only in the case of Jack's hint is what they're saying in any way weird. That only makes them scummy if you think it likely that all of the scumteam would be shouting out to the traitor. Which I think is very unlikely, even assuming the scumteam knew there even was a traitor - one hint would be plenty to find out his identity.

Also, Equinox and Feysal are town.

[AlmasterGM]

Hi, given the situation, I'm not reading anything except the last page.

I'm worshipping Nobody Special. I win the the town.

Any other questions?

[AlmasterGM]

P.S. I have no other abilities other than being a "High Priest," whatever that means.

[Benmage]

You're a VT got it.

Unfortunately...I think your still gonna be hammered. If your town. Thanks anyways.

[AlmasterGM]

Yeah, I presumed as much. No worries.

Go town!

[Lost Butterfly]

Aaaargh!

Mina-head back from vacation, and probably won't have a more significant catch-up post up until tomorrow, but this is a terrible, terrible wagon. Goddamn it.

Never mind that Jack looked very town. Why would he pretend to have claimed scum as a full-blown evil priest (as opposed to just a traitor)? What kind of reaction would he expect from the traitor? Obviously, SpyreX would have known that scum!Jack would know the identity of the evil god and his buddies, so he wouldn't fakeclaim like that.

I need to discuss shit with Faraday, but be back soon. I may have more to say.

[Benmage]

unvote vote hito

just dont want L-1 sitting there right now with NS not voting.

[populartajo]

I definitely see Almasterscum fakeclaiming a power role. Claiming vanilla at L-1 with so many people wanting to hammer and with so many people willing to change to hitoscum is extemely bad play as scum.

Lets lynch hito.

[Benmage]

U think AGM scum is protecting PR hito scum?

[populartajo]

No, Im saying that if we assume Almaster is scum, he just claimed vanilla with so many people willing to hammer and with a group of people willing to change to hito if somehow he fakeclaimed a PR. Since that is extremely bad play as scum then Im thinking Almaster is town.

AHHHH so lynch hito, yes?

[Benmage]

Also if hito does flip scum PR...then my misread theory may apply.

^^^^ good fucking posting.

It means you should vote hitogoroshi!

[Equinox]

Baa.

I'm too fucking tired.

Unvote, Vote: hitogoroshi

Okay, so even when I'm in the "Fuck it, I don't want to think anymore and I just want to sheep" mode, I am compulsive and think anyway. It's all f'ing useless.

Looking at AlmasterGM's claim again. The tone comes off as honest, but he missed a part of the role PM. I'm just really waffly on this right now (blame it on the fact I made stir-fried Equinox brain today) because I don't see that portion being particular to an alignment, but it's a funky thing to miss for someone who's claiming blindly.

Ugh. So basically I need to reread Jack, and since I'm rereading the whole ding-dang game anyway, I might as well.

And then... I want to sheep the Temple of Time voting alliance because I want to trust Faraday's and farside22's judgment on this, but I've got this thing niggling in the back of my mind, namely hitogoroshi's 1575. When I first read it, it came off as an honest answer; my question in 1574 was to check if he'd slipped or something because there may have been something weird going on with the setup*. So yeah.

Mina, I've caught the WIFOM bug. Let me know when you find a cure, please.

* = zoraster's LyLo warning. Did I talk about this yet? I'm too lazy to check, so I apologize if this is a repeat. I checked zoraster's games, and he's never had that warning before, not even in Pledge of Allegiance where it was basically uPick Alignment. If you have no idea what I'm talking about, go read the game-specific rules again. Something tells me this setup isn't the usual kind of setup.

...

Yeah. I'm done. I'll come back tomorrow with a clearer head.

Unvote

[Benmage]

Hrmm there is something key missing in the claim.

[Benmage]

Ehhh but the claim is on pg one...I was referring to his lack of the word

good

...not sure if Equinox meant the same.
