@Alchemist: Even if you think I'm scum, you should be okay with this plan. By blocking me, it would force no night kill for two reasons. From your view, if I am scum then blocking me should stop the kill. From my view, blocking me would mean scum will choose not to kill, as your case provides them with another mislynch. At the same time, it allows me to confirm my actions and abilities and controls my roleblock. Lastly, lynching Benmage will get rid of your other suspect. So why are you so steadfast against this?

Wrong. Nice wifom.

[kanyeknowsbest]

yeah im going to say every player who replaced in got a summary of previous actions. whats odd however is that this relies on benmage assuming that vanilla town get it too. i assumed at first he had a night action since he said he performed no prior night actions when it was actually referring to actions in general but.....

[kanyeknowsbest]

either hes vt or hes takin a pretty huge scumgambit

[kanyeknowsbest]

alternately he could legit be a traitor or some form of scum that is incapable of performing any actions or some shit which would tip him off to that idea but thats a bit of a stretch..

[kanyeknowsbest]

also that wouldnt really make a lot of sense in this game

[Benmage]

Ooooo your made because I said NIGHT.... yeesh It actually doesnt say night..

That said refer to MD about who makes quick slipups more often. (Hint town do)

[Benmage]

kkb listen to OcRzr... and be happy we just got 3 town

[kanyeknowsbest]

yeah like i said itd be a huge stretch. ill take the simple explanation

Wrong. Nice wifom.

its not wifom lol. Under your logic of blocking my kill, blocking me again means there should be no kill. In addition, the real scum will withold a kill in order to get me lynched, so you can say "OH LOOK I BLOCKED TEH KIL."

Wifom is "well, if I were scum I'd..." this is "let me prove my role and you essentailly get 100% control over what I do,

and

you get to lynch your other suspect." And if I'm wrong about Benmage, I can confirm I'm not lying about my role.

[kanyeknowsbest]

which then leaves me confused about the nk. i have a mega town read on toasty so alch blocking toasty making the kill is a bit difficult for me to swallow.

[Tierce]

Mmyeah.

I'll be glad to take the three-town bit. <3

[kanyeknowsbest]

dont see how it confirms me or rhinox.

[Benmage]

Rhino had the correct wording. You confirmed it. I had the original statement. 3 town. Enjoy.

[Glork]

There could be two scums left, if their hit list was bigger than we had anticipated.

Either way, I can pseudo-clear some people. There's a pretty decent chance Grey silenced me because he didn't want me sharing my info when I said I knew of a SCUM ROLENAME. Singer had asked me to clarify, so since
I didn't get a chance yesterday, I'll start on that response now.

I made it pretty clear that I was seeking someone, and in D2, I started asking for volunteers to come out with partial info on their countries (Bengion, Serenes, Goldoa iirc). I asked repeatedly, and even directly asked a few people, including lurkers, about their countries.

N1, I targeted Spyre for the reasons I had explained earlier.
N2, I targeted "Oman's replacement" who turned out to be Rhinox.
Sometime during D3, I steered to suspect my target was scum, and I targeted UberNinja that night. (And yes, I lynched him without qualms or hesitation the next day.)
N4, I targeted Kats. Backed off my scumread of him a little because of it.
Last night I was still stone and could take no actions.



Anyway, unless someone is protown and honestly believed they may be my target, I'm p sure that my target is scum. And his ROLENAME is explicitly stated in my role PM.

So yeah.

Give me some time to get back and process some things, and I'll have a plan set up.



PEdit: Wording is for fags and democrats. Will read/process at a later date.

[Hinduragi]

Dear Tierce, Hindu, and other fags who discredited my D1 read,

Go kindly fuck yourselves.

Love,
Katsuki

Dear Katsuki,

You've been uselessly lurking and I still don't trust your reads for shit. GI was damn obvious before and during all of D5.

Love, Hindu

[Katsuki]

its typical for lld neighborization. shes a bad neighbor, dont neighborize lld she wont talk to you!!!!!!!!!

Too true. Our feelings were hurt that game.

[Hinduragi]

Reading the Benmage claim on his role name and color. Still catching up because I havent been home.

I'll go ahead and claim my country, though, because I really don't think it can do much harm and I know for a fact what country I'm from due to my role pm flavor. My country is Begnion and my color is blue. Still reading so not sure what kind of help that gives us but we'll see. I also havent checked the OP for country's and their respective colors.

During the Mad King's War, some of Daein's strongest and most renowned warriors fought and died in Ashnard's twisted campaigns. After three years of subjugation at the hands of Begnion's occupying forces, almost none of those who made Daein the continent's strongest military force were left. But at the height of Daein's liberation efforts, one such figure returned.

The Black Knight. Once one of the Four Riders of Daein; his brutal strength, raw skill, and immense fortitude could only be described as inhuman. A dark horse in the King's court who gave no illusions about what sort of danger he was to anyone around him, he was described as the only man King Ashnard trusted to perform his most heinous tasks. Showing no sign of a name, identity, or clear ulterior motive, the Black Knight was quite possibly the most terrifying figure in Daein's mythos. After personally assassinating Greil, he became Ike's arch-nemesis. Ike reportedly defeated the Black Knight in single combat during the Mad King's War, yet Sir Knight was spotted at the height of Daein's revolution by the side of the Maiden of Dawn. What manner of vengeful spirit is this Knight, that he may possess such brutal power and yet remain outside the realm of death?

Yet the Black Knight served no evident master except himself. Someone of his might might have been able to turn the tides of Daein's last hour on his own, impervious to the simple thrusts of claw and fang and far too skilled to be felled by the amateurish attacks of the two armies. Yet, he only chose to appear at this late stage of the battle. His enormous form apparated over a magic circle near Daein's camp, and the Knight simply marched forward, holding his golden sword at the ready.

Only a few Crimean soldiers and a couple of Tigers tried to lunge at the Knight. The Black Knight parried the soldiers with such force that they flew aside, and the Tigers were struck with such great force that their fangs were severed. After that, even in spite of the chaos flooding everyone's minds, the battle seemed to keep a wide berth of the ebon-clad warrior. It seemed that the Black Knight had a sense of where he was going, specifically...

In spite of his gigantic armor, the Knight seemed to possess a penchant for moving stealthily. The halberdiers guarding Crimea's headquarters were quickly silenced, and the Black Knight entered a gaudy tent. The woman inside didn't hear him coming.

"Make your peace with the goddess, Queen of Crimea."

Queen Elincia started and turned at the sound of the voice, and was only able to scream as she saw the sword Alondite brought down on her.

As the Black Knight stepped outside of the tent, two figures - close friends of the queen - immediately closed on the intruder. The Black Knight turned on the raven first, drawing his sword upward with such force that it tore one of her wings completely off. The other one, a falcoknight, turned as pale as a sheet and tried to flee, but the Black Knight brought his sword down with such force that the sheer impulse energy of the slash knocked her off of her mount, which proceeded to fly away.

The Black Knight stood in silence for a moment, and then let a magic circle draw itself around him. He was not seen again.

A bitter wind started to blow as snow began to fall in large flakes over the battlefield. The lonely gray sky and its droning wind served as a chilling backdrop for two figures flying atop a dappled white horse - one in the Holy Guards' steely silver armor, and both with a pallor about their faces from the chill in the air and the desperate nature of their mission.

No fewer than ten minutes prior, a messenger had arrived for the Empress. Leanne, who was supposed to be guarding the Medallion, had gone missing. And... so had the medallion.

And given the protracted and Pyrrhic nature of the battle, both of those meant that grave peril was imminent. So much so that Apostle Sanaki, herself, had to take charge.

Sanaki gripped her escort, a young Falcoknight named Penvo, as tightly as she could. She wanted to close her eyes and hold her head closer to Penvo's back, but she knew she had no choice but to keep a lookout. Ike... Skrimir... Sigrun. Those were the people she needed to find, no matter what. They needed to tell their units to stand down and retreat. Sanaki, trained from her youth to stay calm, was quaking at the thought of what could happen if they didn't. And this quivering, combined with the shivers drawn out by the cold and turbulence of the wind and the unsteady flapping of the steed's wings, made the little empress feel terrifyingly unstable on her mount. Which, of course, only made her tremble even more.

Sanaki frantically looked left, right, and forward, desperately hoping to find any sign of her generals. The truth is, she probably couldn't have found them if she wanted to, not in her mental state. She would have just as soon gotten so wrapped up in looking for them that finding them would have been out of her conscious ability.

Within ninety seconds of flying over the battlefield, Sanaki started to feel a dread, a foreboding, a panic. She wasn't going to be able to find them, or so she thought. She would fail in her mission to stop an unthinkable tragedy. That thought, the weight of the world, seized her mind and bewildered her. She had to find them. There was no other option. Or else--

A tremendous gust of wind rushed at Sanaki and Penvo from the side. Sanaki was lifted from where she was sitting, and held Penvo so tightly that she was pulled off of her pegasus as well. Sanaki had no way of seeing the bloodthirsty ruffians beneath her waiting for their prey...

Uh...Teleporting Speed Hippos?

[Tierce]

That's no surprise, considering that we know scum have a roleblocker.

[Glork]

Okay.

NOBODY HAS ANY LEEWAY TO SPECULATE ON ROLES, CHARACTERS, PLAYERS, ABILITIES, ETC., UNTIL I GET SOME SHIT SORTED OUT.

I realize this reaction is probably a little visceral and over-the-top, but for fuck's sake, people, Benmage et al, should have known that trying to confirm your roles through information/wording directly out of your role PMs is a no-no.



I had a plan. It was going to probably net us the game. Now, I have to seriously reconsider some stuff. But first, some questions.
1) LLD, can you please list

EVERY

single action you took each night, and your results?
2) TSH, why have you now failed to target

MoI, who was a leader

, and

Alchemist, who counterclaimed Grey/Sanaki, and was obviously a leader

?
3) Once I get the information I want out of LLD, I'm going to put together a plan.
4) In the meantime, I am going to repeat my request from yesterday.

Anyway, unless someone is protown and honestly believed they may be my target, I'm p sure that my target is scum. And his ROLENAME is explicitly stated in my role PM.

AGAIN - I ASKED FOR PEOPLE FROM BEGNION, SERENES, AND GOLDOA TO COME FORWARD. IF YOU ARE FROM ONE OF THOSE COUNTRIES AND YOU ARE PROTOWN, PLEASE RESPOND IN THE AFFIRMATIVE TO THIS POST. IT WILL ONLY HELP US WIN THE GAME. IF YOU ARE NOT FROM ONE OF THOSE COUNTRIES (EVEN IF YOU HAVE CLAIMED AND/OR LLD HAS INVESTIGATED YOU), PLEASE POST THAT YOU ARE NOT FROM ANY OF THESE COUNTRIES.


I have a plan. We will win this game if everyone sticks to it. We will NOT have another FAILvitational where people don't fucking stick to the plan that should win us the game.

Do I make myself clear?

Good.
