vote dgb

You know I love to go down in flames and fireworks quickly, and I will.

However it's not a good idea for me to be the first infectee.

I'm a suicidal dayvig.

YAY!

[DrippingGoofball]

Alright.

vote: Rosso Carne

[DrippingGoofball]

Can someone take Rosso Carne's temperature? He might be having a fever.

[DrippingGoofball]

Indeed, she's like a gourmet truffle; well disguised, complex, and hunted by frenchmen in the spring and fall! •mod

"...

a prized fungus

hunted by frenchmen

assisted by trained pigs on leashes

in the spring and fall"

[DrippingGoofball]

OMG what have I done? I've basically stated that Day 1 is most important in this game, and ssf agreed with me.

I agree too. You're absolutely right.

That's why I want Rosso Carne to be infected. Give him the rodent.

[DrippingGoofball]

I don't think I have the mouse.

I mean collectively, we should give him the mouse. Or the cheese. Cheese would work, too, but it would involve an extra step.

[DrippingGoofball]

Unvote, Vote: Skitzer

No reason, bandwagon.

Vote for Rosso Carne. He gave DoS food poisoning.

[DrippingGoofball]

OK.

vote: springlullaby

[DrippingGoofball]

Simenon, you replied to me once before voting me. I have nothing against rereading, though you replying so seriously to my lightheaded allegation is disturbing. Currently you are my prime suspect.

Can you possibly be more scum?

[DrippingGoofball]

vote: Rosso Carne

[DrippingGoofball]

SSF, at L-1 of becoming infected, and thus of gaining the final say in who to infect next, I believe it is my prerogative as a townie to voice capricious suspicions which needn't obey to more than my fancy.

Do you fancy we infect Rosso Carne? I'd love to see yet another mega beef recall. What you say?

[DrippingGoofball]

I think infecting Rosso Carne on day 1 is too much a risk for the town to take because this is an unusual game, so no, I wouldn't vote for him.

We have to infect somebody. Somebody will be infected. Inevitable. Plus, we have a deadline to do the infection.

What's so special about Rosso Carne that he's less desirable an infectee than other players? Is he your buddy?

[DrippingGoofball]

WILL SOMEONE HURRY UP AND DIE OF AIDS ALREADY?

AIDS takes forever. We have Ebola.

[DrippingGoofball]

Alright, I'll wait 24 hours more before hammering myself. My prime suspects now are somestrangeflea, Psychocide and The Jester

Pick one. Which one do you think we should infect? Hurry time is running out.

[DrippingGoofball]

DrippingGoofball, I'm puzzled, why do you want me to pick?

Also

Unvote

Your offer to self-hammer was townie-ish, under the circumstances. So why not let you pick?

Which player shall we contaminate for your pleasure?

[DrippingGoofball]

I'm okay with killing any of my three top suspects.

Pick ONE. Humor me.

[DrippingGoofball]

Psychocide.

And your other choices were SSF and The Jester?

TOWNIES, shall we contaminate SSF, or the Jester?

[DrippingGoofball]

I'm confused, so because he said PSY would be his choice. It's between SSF and I?

Exactly. That's exactly right.

[DrippingGoofball]

What I don't get is why your reasoning suggest that you believe springlullaby to be scum, but you'd rather vote for a scum partner?

You are assuming that I am not crazy.

I have no idea whether springlullaby is scum. But later in the game, when we gain information on the players sprinlullaby named, or springlullaby herself, we'll have more solid info than just a list of 3 people. We'll have the list of 3 people, the one player she picked, and the two players she didn't pick.

And then I want to see how people will react to the suggestion that we infect one of the two players she didn't pick.

So I don't know who the best infection is for today, but what I try to do is to get people involved with each other, and leave traces, so that we can catch them later.

Just trust the Goofball, ok? I'm setting up the mouse traps.

[DrippingGoofball]

I want the following players to vote, or give a reason why they're not voting that I will approve of (and I'm not a benevolent judge of non-voters):

Skitzer
TheJester
Somestrangeflea
springlullaby

[DrippingGoofball]

I'm just not sure who I think is scummy enough for a vote.

Better make up your mind quick. Holding off your vote is scummy. We have a deadline.

[DrippingGoofball]

DG: Thanks for your post. It makes sense. I will however ask you for your conclusions from the reactions that you are trying to provoke. Just tell us when you have enough reactions.

You bet.

[DrippingGoofball]

Well,

vote: dahen

he seems to be playing that game in a way that, at points, minorly contradicts himself...or at least it appears so to me.

That's a cowardly vote. Scummy. Noted.

[DrippingGoofball]

Rosso Carne is a good choice. He wants it. Whether he wants it for a pro-town or pro-scum reason is good for us.

[DrippingGoofball]

I approve of the mouse.

[DrippingGoofball]

ROSSO CARNE HAS AIDS

No. You have Ebola. You don't have that long, and there is no cure whatsoever.

Get away from me!

[DrippingGoofball]

Rosso Carne, since you're deathly ill, you don't need to sit in the nosebleed section and watch the action with binoculars. You should be the star pitcher at the center of the diamond.

It's not like you're going to be nightkilled or lynched if you provoke players, ask pointed questions, instill fear, and raise ruckus in order to find scum.

Unless you're scum, in which case you are appropriately useless.

I know you're running a fever and all, but if you find us some scum, I'll nominate you for a scummy. Anyone cares to make a donation to the Last Wish Foundation?

[DrippingGoofball]

Dahen, I understand your post, but it lacks a conclusion. What do you conclude?

[DrippingGoofball]

DG: You say that Rosso is a good choice even if he is town.
Is that for meta-gaming reasons or because he says he wants it?

Both together. They form a potent, if infectious, cocktail.

[DrippingGoofball]

Like the world doesn't have enough problems, now we have battlemageitis to worry about.

[DrippingGoofball]

My choice:

vote 1: Psychocide

vote 2: The Jester

'cuz lullaby said so.

[DrippingGoofball]

I approve of Rosso Carne infecting you if he fancies it.

[DrippingGoofball]

Hmmm, a surprise bite!

[DrippingGoofball]

BattleMage is a hero.

[DrippingGoofball]

Does everyone agree that I should reveal my Mason buddy?

Btw BM thanks for taking the phlegm.

I will reveal more about my role right now though. I am a scientist, me and my mason partner each have 1/3 of an antidote to the plague but a 3rd person stole the last part of it from us. We win when the threat of the virus is neutralized.

Don't reveal, unless your partner is in jeopardy.

Since I'm the suicical dayvig, I will not use my power without double-checking with you, to make sure I don't hit your mason. How's that?

[DrippingGoofball]

So far we're not doing too well infecting the scum. I hope BM was right about UA.

[DrippingGoofball]

skitzer, once you get infected, could you nail your scumbuddy DGB for us? TIA

Right. I've been keeping quiet, but I'm beginning to think you're scum, Simenon. Maybe with skitzer.

I've already claimed that I am the suicidal dayvig. Toe the line, or I'll be happy to bring you down with me to die alone and covered with pus-filled boils in quarantine.

[DrippingGoofball]

skitzer, once you get infected, could you nail your scumbuddy DGB for us? TIA

I'm ***this close*** to dayvigging you, Simenon. THIS CLOSE.

[DrippingGoofball]

Shall I dayvig Simenon? After I do, I become the infectee. I totally think Simenon is scum.

Opinions please.

[DrippingGoofball]

semi-limited access until thursday

game status: medium priority

Why do you make this statement after I've threatened to dayvig you? This game should become your top priority game, instantaneously.

[DrippingGoofball]

I will dayvig Simenon in 24 hours. Maybe less.

[DrippingGoofball]

Does it mean I'm no longer infected when you dayvig, or do I die anyway? I approve either way

You die.

[DrippingGoofball]

Your lack of a claim is very eloquent.

[DrippingGoofball]

And the reasoning behind it should be fairly obvious.

Nothing obvious here. Nothing that you wouldn't claim under threat of death.

[DrippingGoofball]

Why don't you clarify it now?

[DrippingGoofball]

DGB, please describe what will happen if you choose to dayvig Simenon.

We'll be down one scumbag, comes to mind.

[DrippingGoofball]

Use it only when you are quite certain that we have infected scum and immediately at daybreak without asking for permissions.

We'll get information from the reactions. Also, I want to give the player a chance to claim. Simenon's lack of claim reeks of scum.

[DrippingGoofball]

Give me a hint, there are turnips that can beat me in IQ tests.

[DrippingGoofball]

A cop with a guilty on two players, haha, even this old turnip doesn't believe that.

Vanilla townie you say? Is that true?

Should Simenon be dayvigged?

[DrippingGoofball]

Well, Simenon has been infected, and I still have my dayvig, yay!

It WILL be skitzer or Jester no matter the outcome of Simenon's alignment, if they don't start hunting scum in earnest, and soon.

My trigger finger is itchy, see?

[DrippingGoofball]

Henceforth, skitzer and The Jester have 48 hours to make a significant, pro-town contribution lest they are mercilessly dayvigged.

[DrippingGoofball]

Henceforth, skitzer and The Jester have 48 hours to make a significant, pro-town contribution lest they are mercilessly dayvigged.

Since I'm going to daykill one of them anyway in a shorter period of time, why don't you save it?

True, but let's say if you infect one, I'll dayvig the other.

Let's see if they can find some scum, if we put a test tube to their temple.

[DrippingGoofball]

You want me to try and find scum in a less-than-48 hour period? By what we have now. If you want even a half baked case against someone, I'd find that utterly impossible.

Simenon, trying infecting DGB... oh, I'm sorry, that would be a bad move for you two because you're scum buddies...

Hopefully there is only two scum so that when I get infected, DGB will be gone as well and we will win the game...Hooray...

Give me a 25% baked case against 3 players.

And give me 3 players you think are town.

Answer this question, too: Are we at least 6 players left so that you can do the above assignment?

[DrippingGoofball]

Also I an ready to take your order for your last meal.

[DrippingGoofball]

Can I spray skitzer with the viral nebulizer? I want to.

[DrippingGoofball]

Well let's see.

Town:

*springlullaby (town 'cuz he has the vaccine instructions)
*DragonsofSummer (town 'cuz he's a mason)
*dahen (town 'cuz he's DoS's mason)
*DrippingGoofball (town 'cuz I happen to know)
*Simenon (town 'cuz he says so)

Scum:

*The Jester (just infected by Simenon)
*Psychocide
*skitzer

[DrippingGoofball]

The Jester, why do you assume that Simenon is mafia or stupid?

[DrippingGoofball]

As soon as I know Sim's alignment, I'll have a good idea of who to choose from.

I'm Scum? Seriously DGB, you assume my playstyle too much.

By process of elimination, Jester, if you are town and Simenon is scum, then Pschycocide and skitzer are the rest of the scumteam.

If Sim is scum, let me

first

dayvig skitzer, and

second

you infect Psychocide.

[DrippingGoofball]

No no no that's not what I said.

Simenon has infected YOU. We will find out his alignment soon.

If Simenon is scum, this is what we should do, since almost every player is sorta confirmed one way or another, except for Psychocide and skitzer:

I will dayvig skitzer.

And you, if you are a townie, shoulw infect Psychocide.

Or I dayvig Psycho and you infect skitzer, it doesn't really matter.

But FIRST I dayvig one of the two scumbags, and SECOND you infect the leftover one. Because if you infect a scumbag, the scumbag will rush to infect a townie, and we don't want that.

[DrippingGoofball]

So now we're just waiting for Simenon's alignment to come to light.

[DrippingGoofball]

Not much, revamping my website, finishing a stained glass lampshade. And I have a cool idea for an art exhibit.

I want to make a painting of a classroom full of iPods, one of cell phones driving cars, and a board meeting of giant Blackberries.

[DrippingGoofball]

What do you mean, Sim?

[DrippingGoofball]

Good point. I should dayvig Psychocide.

[DrippingGoofball]

dayvig: Psychocide

[DrippingGoofball]

[quote="dahen"]1. Why is DGB alive if she was a suicidal dayvig?
2. So the Jester is still infected? I interpreted this:
[quote="DGB"]I'm pretty red faced because apparently, I failed my PM reading comprehension test. I only catch the disease if I shoot down an already infected player. Which I didn't... and why would I shoot down an already-infected player anyway... ah well.

[DrippingGoofball]

EBWOP

1. Why is DGB alive if she was a suicidal dayvig?

I'm pretty red faced because apparently, I failed my PM reading comprehension test. I only catch the disease if I shoot down an already infected player. Which I didn't... and why would I shoot down an already-infected player anyway... ah well.

[DrippingGoofball]

DGB, just for clarifying, why did you shoot Psycho again?

It's all spelled out page 15 and 16.

[DrippingGoofball]

Really the shame and embarrassment of not having infected scum is making it hard for me to live.

What's the question?

[DrippingGoofball]

DGB: Did you read the post you responded to? It said my questions were in #426. It's kind of a long post where I try to understand your play and shift of views. Could you take a look at it and enlighten us?

That post is way too long.

(1) I was trying to get some Day 1 leads, any kind of lead
(2) Sim said something that convinced me, just look it up.

[DrippingGoofball]

Well, I'm not scum.

Now that I think of it, Mason is a great scum claim because they're not afraid of being nightkilled. Do masons make sense in a nightless game?

[DrippingGoofball]

What is the use of masons in a game with no night kills? Maybe there's a use, what is it?

[DrippingGoofball]

No, the problem is that in a game with NKs, the masons can be nightkilled because they are confirmed town.

When a mason is dead, we see it in the obituaries.

That's why scum doesn't claim mason in a regular game, they get caught sooner or later.

Not sure how scum claiming masons would work in a nightless game.

[DrippingGoofball]

dahen and DoS are like twins, they acted the same and they sounded the same.

SL, infect any of these two. I think they faked mason.

We're 4 left, and we have not infected scum once. We're pathetic. However, pathetic as we are, we can still get a tie.

SL, if you know that you're town, you also know that if there were 3 scum left, you'd have lost. Therefore you know that there is another townie out there.

That townie is me, the day-vig.

The two scum are the two fake masons. Just look at how they're both trying to say the other might be a scum mason but they have no indication about this.

I think they're probably both scum. Infecting either of them is fine. Whoever you infect will infect me, and I'll infect the last player. We'll get a tie.

[DrippingGoofball]

DoS being a scum mason could of course be seen as a power as well, since I would defend him, but I am more worried that the day vig is scum.

I'm sure you are, scumbaggo.

[DrippingGoofball]

Are you both seriously believing that DoS and I are scum together and that our only chance to win this game is by both staying alive to be the last two players in the game?

There's always the "Oops! Shock! A scum mason! I had no idea!!!" defense.

[DrippingGoofball]

We're 4 players. If SL is town, and he believes the two of you fake masons are also town, then you might as well call him an idiot for also believing that there is only one scum in this game, me.

Now, if SL is town, and I know I'm town, there is only one possibility, which is that the two of two are a pair of fake scum masons.

So either I'm the only scum in the game, or we have two scum and they decided to fake masons. Or one of the masons is a scum mason with me, but then your whole vaccine story collapses.

[DrippingGoofball]

DGB, help please.

I would go for dahen. He's trying hardest to play with your mind.

[DrippingGoofball]

Anything specific you want me to address?

Tell us more about the vaccine tale.

[DrippingGoofball]

What more is there to tell? I was told by the mod that I had one part of a vaccine, and dahen had one part, but the third part was stolen from us. It turned up with the Janitor and when he died Spring got it and put it on a table. I am unable to interact with it right now (as was shown when skitzer answered my question about putting my part with the part on the table) and now here we are.

Who could be stopping you? Dahen? Unless you're lying.

[DrippingGoofball]

Sorry for not being nice, it's just that it seemed that you were just lazy and not reading my posts, and by that I felt I had wasted my time trying to explain. I was frustraded and I apologize for letting it shine through in my post.

Lol, nice to see you aim to please. Right, I'll be infecting dahen in 48hours, if you have anything to say against that idea, last chance is now.

No objection here. I think it's the best bet.

[DrippingGoofball]

I hope springlullaby has been prodded.

[DrippingGoofball]

FOS Dragons of Summer

for suggesting that a random infection would be desirable.

[DrippingGoofball]

Infect: dahen

[DrippingGoofball]

Oh, thanks for not being prodded or PM:ed by DoS. At least I'm alive. I was pretty sure I was being lynched, so I stepped in to see if it was time to infect DGB.

Evil mafia doesn't sound like one player only. And since DoS chose DGB, it should be pretty clear. Except that I'm not scum. I do have the last piece of the vaccine, and I have no idea on how to proceed.

Mod:

If I can use all the three pieces of the vaccine to vaccinate myself, I'd like to do that right now.

Why are so saying that??? DoS is scum, and has to infect you or me. Obviously, he'll infect the townie. The remaining player is his scumbuddy, which would be you.

When you say "Except that I'm not scum" who are you trying to convince? Haha.

[DrippingGoofball]

I was also way off the mark...
