You thought you could escape so easily...

Hi. I'm not scum. I think Ouman is though.

Well, we could start forcing suspicous players to quote their prophecies, in a 'trial by water' scenario... Would be a great way to get some extra lynches in without allowing the mafia or vig to kill more pro-town players...

I'm pretty sure that Lowell is scum, but I'm going to wait a little bit to vote for him, unless other people wish for me not to wait.

Limited access this weekend, St. Patty's day rush at work.

I dont get it.

claiming (and fake claiming) prophecies = modkill = free lynches, yes, I get that part.

What is "trial by water" and how do we force people to claim prophecy?

going to be gone this weekend, going to attempt to get caught up next week...

a trial by water is from back in the witch days. A woman suspected of being a witch would be dunked underwater (or something) and if they sunk, they were a real woman and thus were 'good', but if they floated, they were a witch, and thus would be killed in another way. That was the 'easy way' for a man to get a divorce, back then. >.>

The morphology is similar here; if someone claims a prophecy and doesn't get modkilled, they are a witch and so we lynch them.

skruffs, I hate to say it, but that will not work.

Breaking this rule will result in said predictions becoming invalid. If the prophecy has been fulfilled/nullified, claiming it will result in a modkill.

Just because they haven't been modkilled doesn't mean anything. They could very well just have their prediction become invalid rather than get modkilled, and you would end up lynching someone who was town.

THey'd stil be modkilled, which means they'd be dead and role revealed without giving scum the benefit of night.

If you guys want, I'll go first?

Skruffs, as I read it, it's either/or, not a guaranteed modkill.

I have a town read on you so I'm not sure why you would want to quote your prophecies and be modkilled anyway.

Skruffs · Post Post #1213 (ISO) » Mon Mar 17, 2008 4:42 am

well i AM town, that's why i am trying to get us all killed.

Bookitty · Post Post #1214 (ISO) » Mon Mar 17, 2008 4:51 am

You're suicidal town?

Skruffs · Post Post #1215 (ISO) » Mon Mar 17, 2008 5:04 am

No. That was tongue in cheek. I just see getting a bunch of people modkilled intentionally (ie by group effort/voting) than by lynchings as possibly being more beneficial to town.

I am completely against claiming prophecies, as not only is it against the spirit of the game, but then the mod has the right to screw with us as much as we want.

Agreed. While the idea of deaths without nights is tempting, it's not how this game should be played.

Says the man who's last serious post was ten days ago... welcome back...

I was V/LA due to SSBB and a multitude of other video games. My 'Ooh, Shiney!' factor kicked in a lot (in related news, I finally beat Portal). When I did read through, I simply saw nothing worth commenting on. The modkill idea seemed to me like it would burn itself out, and every second on MS was a second not destroying GLaDOS/Tabuu/Sephiroth/Rival Bands/Alliance.

I promise I can give thoughts on this game. Just not right now.

BZZZZZT. You're posting, so post something of substance, not "I'll post my thoughts later." It's always scummy when people do that.

Gorrad:
There are people in this game (if you are not one yourself) who want to KILL J00.

How is it that you can't find anything to comment on?!

Can we lynch Gorrad now?

If there are points I haven't addressed, I don't remember seeing them.
