Oh Iammars...

how is that remotely ambiguous as to whether it's a ninja or a pirate? It's clearly neither.

He's clearly not a ninja, but I was reading the article on Wikipedia and I got the feeling that he might be considered a pirate. This was also back when I thought that the game would be split in half between ninjas and pirates.

to ask for nightchoices/results?

You thought the game was split between ninjas and pirates when you were a Vampire Finder???
Huh?

We haven't seen any vampire scum kills though, so, as I'm seeing it, either it's a cult, it's all misdirection by Stoofsy or maybe a non-evil vampire role. Cult still seems overpowered. Third option seems most likely to me.

I personally think Buffy makes even less sense as vanilla now. Vampire Protector would be much more natural a role.

So yeah, nothing much has changed in my view.
Scumchat is awesome. Yarr!

Thesp makes a good point, oh scumbuddy of Erg0.

Also, a cursory reading of the flavor at the beginning would disabuse all of the notion that the game was just made up of ninjas and pirates. Your vacillation on this point proceeded long past when this idea was clarified. At the time I thought that you were possibly waffling to give yourself safe claim flexibility. This doesnt much change my mind.

I agree, also. First, I see not much room for a cult, but anything is possible. I also think if there was a cult Buffy would be kind of an obv-choice for vampire protector.

2 things.

There are people who believe Thesp should kill according to Town consensus. Right now, the Town consensus is he should kill Erg0, whom Guardian said was scum. Think about that for a second

I dont believe Mars's claim at all. Here's why

Well, more split than it turned out to be. I wasn't expecting the pirates and ninjas to be two scum groups with other people as the town.

And I knew I was forgetting something:
N1: ibaesha - no
N2: ooba - no
N3: Claus - no

That was an argument against town-driven vigs, not Erg0 scumminess

I'm inclined to think Iammars is telling the truth about what he's saying (the ibaesha investigation is telling, I think), and I'm suspecting that Iammars is just wrong about Erg0. I also suspect the Vampires are a red herring, though that's only intuition there.

Stoofer should replace him. He did the same thing in Food fight and just got replaced from that.

When there are still several people who need to weigh in rather than coast by? Why would I do that?

1. To prove your claim
2. Because the only reason he hasn't been lynched yet is because we want you to do so.

Because you're stalling, Thesp.

Hmm I'm going to
Unvote
.

Iammars claim has thrown me a bit.

I'll look into an Iammars - Ergo connection tonight to see if this is just a scumgroup fake claiming together.

wow. Hmm.
Well, if there ARE vampires, and they ARE scum, and they are a scum group and not (say) a cult, then they've managed to , I am guessing, hit all three other cum groups on consecutive nights, or something, or haven't been targetting.

EVery other scum group, it appears, seems to have a finder AND a protector. Of course, a cult wouldn't need a protector.

Of course, fake claiming to be a power role for a scum group that doesn't exist WOULD be exceptionally genius. :)
