The War to End All Freaktowns: GAME OVER

[Holy]

Hm, ladies mafia... Although I'm still blind of what exactly the alignment of each of the dead were, I guess that means we are now dealing with a lesser scum group than before >.>

[Kinetic]

Who knows. We figured out there have to be at least two scum groups (Cult/Mafia), but with all the night kills, it seems like some people have activated some of their powers.

I'm thinking I might like any Pro-Town players with a NK ability to come forward and claim their kills. Don't do it yet, I'm still mulling it over in my head if I like that idea or not, but I figured we as a town need to discuss it a little. 3 Kills in the night phase would make this game get VERY swingy VERY fast, and I don't know if I'm all that happy with people not being responsible with such abilities.

[rajrhcpfreak]

no votes, im not doing a vote count yet.

[Mariyta]

Vote Taut

[rajrhcpfreak]

March 22nd 4pm est is the deadline.

I don't remember where it says we have pro-town players with NK ability, but after some thinking it seems plausible. However, this brings the problem of a protown powerrole claim which could mean another loss for the Town.

[Kinetic]

I don't like this...

There is too little information to go on and there is WAY too much going on... The delayed reveal is kicking the towns ass because we have no idea if we're even lynching right...

Add to that we now have at least three active kills, and I'm really not liking what is going on...

The only people who know what is going on, and have a true objective is the mafia, and there is way too much damn confusion for the town to be able to do anything.

I'm refusing to vote until I start to see some information, some RELIABLE information, that can point us to some scum or confirm us some townies. I feel like I'm playing right into the mafia's hands by voting randomly, without any reveals.

[Mariyta]

I'm gonna claim so you have some real information. Silly to do so without pressure, I know, but then maybe the people who actually come up with plans will have something to go on. I'm a journalist. Initially, it was for the Enquirer, hence why I was emphasizing that we shouldn't trust it. Last night, I was asked to send two articles in; only one was used. The first one, posted in the Sun-times. So I KNOW there was a change in styles in the tabloid. I'm trying to figure out if Raj is just trying to shake things up, or if the writer for the Sun-times died.

[Holy]

First, sorry for leaving this game for almost a week.
And I think a week to deadline is too short with 12 players still alive and considering the game length.
More than half of the town not seen much since yesterday, most with the re-reading reason, although I can't confirm that.

@Mod: I'll request an extended deadline to April 5th.

@Others: any objection with that?

@Kinetic: So, are you really NK immune last night, or is it just a bluff? And are you last night able to get all the items you need?

I agree and second the extention. I have no clues at this point and all I have is my gut on Taut from 2 days ago. I think we also need a prod on anyone who hasn't posted.

MOD: Please prod players that haven't posted in the past 5 days.

[grintwig]

Stupid question but farside could you refresh my memory as to why you found Taut scummy. I can't remember and don't think I'll have time to go back and read 55 pages again before deadline.
I'm not so sure a deadline extension is the right idea. But I would like to ask the mod if he could reveal if we have lynched any mafia and if we have how many.....maybe we could get really lucky and find out who they were? (If we did lynch any.)
As of right now I've got nothing......

[Kinetic]

I'm still night kill immune, it isn't a bluff, but I don't have all of the items I need. Indeed, the Taurus has now been destroyed as well, leaving me with 2 items in the gone bin (Taurus, Risk). However, there is a CD out there that I would love to have that is still floating.

First things first. During the time MOS was around he was very suspicious of Taut for his role fishing. Here is what I wrote in regards to him when I entered the game.

Tautology: In the begining was all for item claim then gives no info on item when pressed for details. Goes fishing for information on items. The one thing that bugs me is people vote and dont' remember who they are voting for. In one post he voted for Roland and said oh I meant Kilroy. Sigh... Please keep this in mind with me. If you aren't paying attention and you vote just to vote don't make this mistake it just smells of scum.

There is nothing wrong with an extension when not everyone is here to play the game.

[rajrhcpfreak]

@Mod: I'll request an extended deadline to April 5th.

@Others: any objection with that?

it is my choice and only mine. i really dont care if the whole town agrees with you.

i am fighting all the problems that are coming up with this game and trying to keep it from being abandoned. giving this game another week will not solve the problems of the town not posting; it will only make the town stay lazy and force the people that are contributing feel helpless and eventually get bored with the game.

i received no notification saying that someone had some outside issues that was going to keep them from posting in this game, like spring break, if that was the case i might have thought about extending the deadline.

this deadline is not unreasonable. if you look back at other freaktowns, they had 2 week deadlines. you all have the same amount of people as the earlier freaktowns, day one, and you all get to skip the random vote phase so i see no reason to give this group more time.

on the issue of prodding i will do it. but as a mod it is not my job to hold everyone's hand and remind them to post every week. we had a mass mod kill yesterday and everyone had to do a night choice with their shops, they shouldnt need to be poked once again.

[rajrhcpfreak]

fyi, i proded the 6 people with the threat that they will be replaced if they dont post by the end of the day.

[Andycyca]

@Mod: I'll request an extended deadline to April 5th.

@Others: any objection with that?

I don't have an objection, but I don't support it. Mostly because of what Raj said. I think he's put too much effort in keeping this game alive, but the Mod isn't the only one who keeps the game moving, that's what deadlines are for, to force players to post something and keep the game going.

AND you can't say we have nothing at all. It's true we have too many things to consider, but an extension doesn't guarantee lazy players to post. For example, post your opinions on Mariyta's claim.

(Sorry for this. I know it's completely off-topic, but it's my thoughts about the game itself. I like this game.)

So that means the first Enquirer headlines are 100% bogus? Also, if you sent an article and it showed up in the Sun-times, this means the Sun-Times is now not as reliable as before?

That is a very good question. I would be interested in hearing the answer to it.

I see your point. Thanks. That does seem a little off.

[Flameaxe]

Post.

I'm V/LA right now for tomorrow and then Wed. - Saturday. Should get a post in tomorrow.

No, it doesn't mean the Enquirer headlines were 100% bogus, but considering it was definitely a tabloid, I know it's not nearly as reliable as the Sun-times. If you know anything about newspapers at all, that shouldn't be new information. As for the Sun-times being unreliable now, I highly doubt it. I haven't asked Raj, but it would be screwed up for him to tell the town they can trust a newspaper, then halfway through the game make it useless. I was just asked to write for the Sun-times last night, which could mean I got a promotion after the initial journalist died or something.

[tautology]

Maryita: I think it would benefit the town if you'd identify which articles you wrote, especially if you wrote either of the articles during the day we were given two articles of unknown origin.

[Mariyta]

I wrote the Mafia has more possessions than most, the one about Papa John's being a cult hideout, and then another one that was never posted (not the extra one from last night that wasn't posted).

[Holy]

Well, alright. I won't argue with the mod.

I just got an impression by reading this page alone, the posters so far showed willingness to sorted the town cases, their hanging post seems like there will be a continuity, maybe I'm hallucinating :p

I like this game too~
At first, I wanted to do it one by one, I had something else in my mind, Kinetic maybe knew what.

Lets see,

Just to clarify, so your writings were?
I. Mafia can eat twice as much as normal citizens :arrow: Enquirer.
II. Mafia has More Possessions than Most :arrow: ?????
III. Erika's store, Papa Johns, a Cult Hideout :arrow: Enquirer.
IV. Alex's Ladies Mafia completely wiped out due to earthquake :arrow: Sun-Times.

Hm, although you're an Enquirer journalist, if your writing was posted in Sun-Times, maybe because it was coincidentally true, I don't know. Maybe on the mafia party, there were indeed no more ladies now >.>
Who's Alex btw? (Played by who?)
Your delayed 'promotion' actually confused me, at Day 2 there were only 2 newspapers that published (because of a dead journalist?), your 'promotion' is on Day 4, what happened on Day 3 (<- asking myself), you were still writing for the Enquirer and that Day, yesterday, plus today we got all newspapers published well.
Btw, what inspired you when writing your news? Was it all pure gossip?

I'm still night kill immune, it isn't a bluff, but I don't have all of the items I need. Indeed, the Taurus has now been destroyed as well, leaving me with 2 items in the gone bin (Taurus, Risk). However, there is a CD out there that I would love to have that is still floating.

I don't think you're making any sense, I only hope you're not scum.


@the MIA YagamiLight: Regarding JDodge, the silent speaker and Porochaz, what is your slight impression for each one of them (before they were dead)?
I really hope you're here >.>

[Mariyta]

Who's Alex btw? (Played by who?)

Not a clue. Alex was in the last Freaktown, but no guarantees he's in this one

Your delayed 'promotion' actually confused me, at Day 2 there were only 2 newspapers that published (because of a dead journalist?)

If you recall, that night lasted forever. It's possible it wasn't anything to do with the game that caused only 2. I kind of assumed one of the journalists just didn't get their stuff in.

...your 'promotion' is on Day 4, what happened on Day 3 (<- asking myself), you were still writing for the Enquirer and that Day, yesterday, plus today we got all newspapers published well.
Btw, what inspired you when writing your news? Was it all pure gossip?

I always get the headlines from Raj during the night. He usually sends me three and I have to pick two and write a little bit about them, but only one gets published (not my choice which). As for where he comes up with the headlines, I have no clue.

[Holy]

^well not much I can say. At least I know now that the headlines were from Raj.
