Well, in the interests of at least keeping the conversation going, I'd like to talk a little strategy. Without in any way trying to tell power roles what to do, I want to ask Rapier about his take on the relative value of our power roles.
You suggested to AH that she was more valuable than TL. Why do you think so? I'd have said that TL, who can protect and (effectively) investigate, is more valuable than AH, who can only protect.

I'm out the door in about an hour, this'll be my last post until next Sunday, probably.
TL doesn't protect, she blocks (is that what they're calling that these days?). Certainly useful, considering that as long as she's blocking Brewha, the scum can't/won't kill, but her power relies on knowing who to block. AH can protect a key role without knowing who the scum is, so I'd place her value to Town slightly higher than TL.
Thats my take, anyway.
Stanislaus

This is one of those issues that calls for a maths post. Which I'm not going to make. But the choice is between:
AH's greater chance of success in selecting between two power roles (self +TL) to protect with the reward being No Kill
vs
TLs lesser chance of success in choosing between 6 unconfirmed (assuming we don't all know brewha is scum) with the reward being No Kill + Outed scum.
That's obviously a simplification which ignores for example the ability of the scum to bluff the role-blocker. But I think the fact that AH will always have to guess between self-protecting and at least one other power role make her a bit weaker than you're suggesting.
Now, can anyone think of a way in which we can talk about our secondary suspects without muddying the waters?

Here's a crazy thought. I just wanna see if anyone will indulge me in this. How about we not lynch me today? - just for fun.
Tonight, TL can block me again, but this time I'd ask the Doc to not protect anyone.
I'm willing to be that the scum target was protected last night - and that is the reason for the non night kill.
If tonight, I'm blocked and a NK happens anyway - wouldn't that prove me to not be scum?
Yeah, it'd be easier to just lynch me. That would prove the same thing. But, my death today is not going to win the game for the town. I'd rather go after someone esle.
Anyone willing to consider this option?

One of the last things a townie can do for the sake of town is to die gracefully when we're in the endgame.
Unless you open that magic bag of your other powers and it turns out you can do something highly useful with the one deadite remaining, I think you're just as good a target as any unconfirmed at this point.

Magic bag? You call not revealing the rest of my powers a magic bag? I didn't think it was that much of a concern. My magic bag is that I can, in fact, vanquish undead deadites. The problem is that I can either vanquish deadites or seek santcuary. It's one or the other. If I vanquish deadites, I'm open to being night-killed. The only reason I used the term 'magic bag' last night was that I know townies hate magic bags and I figured it would up my lynchability enough that scum would leave me alone.
So, since there's no reason to worry about getting NK'd - since I likely won't make it through today, here's the rest of my PM:
POWERS:
You have a menu of powers that you may use as described below:
1. Personal Holiness: During any day/night cycle, you may choose to seek sanctuary through personal holiness. Doing so will keep you safe from the evil that lurks in the forests. However, vanquishing the earth of the unholy is dirty business. It is impossible to do so while keeping your hands clean. Only sunrise will cleanse your spirit of such dirtiness and you can not seek sanctuary until after the sunrise following any contact with the unholy.
2. Witnessing: John 8:32 - "And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." This is a Night power. At Night, you may vanquish 2 undead Deadites, but at the price of some valuable information being spilled. You've spent a lot of time in heart-to-heart chats with the party guests, and witnessing is the best way to bring on a conversion. A random, living non-Deadite player's name and role will be sent to a random, living Deadite in exchange for your use of this power. You may use this power two times over the course of the game.
3. Baptism: This is a Night power. At Night, you may vanquish 3 undead Deadites by performing the holy sacrament of baptism. However, convincing and converting any of this wild bunch is going to take some time. Both you and the born-again soul will be prevented from using any powers on this Night or the following Day. You're not sure who will be receptive to your preaching, either, so a random human will be roleblocked for one Night/Day cycle when you use this power. You may use this power two times and two times only.
4. Exorcism: This is a Day power. It may be used at any time before Dusk to vanquish a Deadite composed of 5 undead Deadites. Due to the holiness of this power, it can only be used on a day without any deaths. Therefore, any time this power is used, all actions that would have resulted in a death from Dawn until Dusk of that day will be nullified. You can only use this power twice in the course of the game.

Oh, and BTW, I am not the only person who can (or perhaps could) kill the undead deadites. I had no hand in getting rid of the first one.

So, up until the point where we decided you were scum, what was your plan for using your powers?
brewha
02-09-2009, 04:26 PM
My plan was to wait until there was 5 undead deadites, and someone on the chopping block that I was sure was not scum.
Seeing as how, Millit was on the chopping block when the number first hit 5, I didn't use my power. But, the first person whom I knew was not scum after the number hit 5 was me.

looks different from this:POWERS:
Due to your years of study, you are well-versed in the normal set of holy rites and prayers. Your commitment to your calling runs deeper, though, and you've spent more than your fair share of weekend nights working on some "extra credit" at a back room table at the library, reading hoary old tomes by candlelight. Speaking in tongues, casting out demons, the stigmata...it's all old hat to you. You're a soldier of the cross, and you're pumped and ready to unsheath your sword and do battle with otherworldly evil. However, you're not yet sure what you'll find, so your resources are currently limited.
1. Personal Holiness: So secure are you in your faith that you can face even the most severe temptation without failing. This power is a personal quality and is in effect now and for as long as you remain alive.

Interesting...why didn't you claim earlier when we were asking for the 1/5ized vanquisher to claim? You could have gotten the scum to waste a nightkill.
brewha
02-09-2009, 04:46 PM
What? You would have taken me at my word? No, you would have label me a heretic until I proved that I could do what I said I could. At that point, I would have likely been #1 on the scum's night kill list, and there would have been plenty of time for scum to amass another 5 undead deadites.
I had thought about it, I just thought better of it.

You know, this actually wouldn't be a bad thing if it weren't for the following 2 things:
1. Total lost is out of town again, I think, and might not get in to block you.
2. We have no other reasonable lynch target, and you haven't suggested one.
3. It's time to end this game.
4. I can't count.
5. Anyone can claim this defense. Basically, "Don't lynch me, just block me and see if anyone dies." Why should we give you this benefit?

(snipped)
So basically you're saying you could have vanquished 13 deadites during the course of the game but didn't? The witnessing power you can vanquish 2 twice and the Baptism 3, three times. Even if I'm misunderstanding and it's 5 altogether (one each time) that's one hell of a power. It also doesn't say how you find the deadite which I find curious. Are you supposed to guess or is it a certaintly?
Either way I don't believe you'd have been given a power that strong, and if you were then dammit you deserve to be lynched for not using it.

If you had claimed the ability to vanquish 1/5ized deadites, we probably would have taken you at your word if you had correctly predicted a vanquishing. In fact, at that point, I doubt that we would have pressured you to fullclaim.
Also, another question--why is it that the second and third powers have the vanquishing as the benefit, but the last has it as the cost?

Why are we discussing him again? He's obviously lying. He posted two different role PMs! Hell, look at the first power he supposedly had. It's different both times. At this point he's a confirmed liar, and I don't see any benefit in continuing to try and get answers from such a person.
I would suggest we start discussing other people to lynch just in case, but after the way the PM line/no line situation almost went down Yesterday, we might be better off just waiting til such time as it is actually required.

Why? Ask Story. He made this stuff up.
I really doubt I wouldn't have gotten any pressure. Or that I would have survived this long had I outed myself.
The last mafia game I played, I had the power to protect/roleblock. Someone asked me about it, and I came out - assuming that town doesn't lie. I got NK'd that night.

IDK, why not? What can it hurt? If get blocked, and no one dies? Lynch me tomorrow - it'll prove I'm scum and the game will be over. If I get blocked and someone dies, it'll prove that there's scum out there and that scum is not me.
Or, lynch me today and lose the town's ability to vanquish undead deadites. Probably won't affect the outcome of the game since we're so far ahead. If we do take this route, have a good look at who's really pushing for my lynch.
Right now, If I had to rank it, I'd say Special Ed is pushing the most.

wy do all the dying scum keep picking on me?
If ya'll want to try this, feel free to lynch me. But I suggest you ONLY do it if total lost returns and is able to block brewha.
If she isn't back yet, it would be silly, since she won't block him.
Also, be careful if we lose another mostly dead person. Brewha might have a power that allows him to block a roleblocker or force a night killing through some other way.

Come on! Had I kept my mouth shut, would've I been night killed? It's not that cut and dry.
Yeah, I did say I could self protect when I couldn't - but that was more of a game of chicken with the scum.

Mafia: Evil Dead - Role PM
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Welcome to the game; you are The Famous Actor
ALIGNMENT: Playing for Keeps
GENERIC: Vigilante
WIN CONDITION: All Deadites have been vanquished or you take the lead actor's role.
BACKGROUND:
At first glance, there is nothing particularly noteworthy about your appearance or your evident role. You are among at least a dozen minor characters who populate this movie's background, filling in critical chunks of exposition via clunky dialogue sequences. You're the ambitious film student, the oblivious parent, the well-meaning but genially bumbling physics professor. Your lines are few, your character is underwritten, and under most circumstances, you'd be forgotten by the audience by he middle of the film's second act.
But not in this movie. You see, in this movie, you are being played by a Famous Actor Who Really Seems Like He Should Have a Bigger Part, and that can mean only one thing: to save this movie, you need to eliminate the hack that is playing the lead role and take his place.
If you fail to eliminate the lead actor, you can still win if the town is victorious.
POWERS:
1. At Night, you may choose one person to kill. If that person is the lead actor (playing the hero Ash) and the kill is successful, you will take over the lead role and the game will be yours.
________________________________________________________________
That's my actual role PM. I figured if you discovered that I have been killing on my own, that would be enough for the death penalty for me.
Why am I spilling this now? Well, in my possesion is the Necronomicon. This, and this alone has the power to vanquish undead deadites.
Early on, I killed diggitcamera (sorry diggit!) because I thought he was Ash (the real Ash not the fake one). Diggit was in possesion of the Necronomicon, and since I killed him, it is now mine.
If I get lynched, the book is lost. So, while I was lying, I was telling the truth about my ability to eliminate deadites.
I can night kill, and while I did try last night, I'm guessing the scum did as well. I'm do think we still have a doc and the doc picked the correct target.
Yeah, this is probably too late, but if I'm spared today, I'll kill on behalf of the town at night.
Pick a target, and that target will die. If no one is blocked, it's likely that another target will die as well.
Sorry about the deception. I hope it's not too late to do right by the town.

Cookies claimed she was ash, but not "the real ash". I kinda assumed she was Ash Jr. or something.
It's all in her role claim.

I actually deleted the pm where I got the book. But, remember Diggit's investigative ability? It wasn't because of his role, it was because of the book:

Light Reading
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
You have read once again from the Necronomicon. You're pretty sure your voice is getting deeper for some reason.
Also, you have gained the power of Seance. This power may be used only at Night. If you choose to use this power, you may ask three questions, as elaborate as you wish, of any currently dead player. The player will be permitted to respond only by making knocking sounds, which will be heard by all at Dawn. For each question, your respondent may knock once, twice, or three times; it will be up to you to tell your respondent what each number of knocks will signify.
Again, this power may be used only during the Night.
Thus, toDay, you may:
1. Read the Necronomicon (you will gain a new power)
2. Destroy the Necronomicon (something, will happen, but you don't know what)
3. Pass the Necronomicon to someone else
4. Do nothing

Well, you must have been gutted when you found out the truth.
Any theories about why scum didn't kill anyone on the Night you killed DC?
Trepa Mayfield
02-10-2009, 11:56 AM
I'll be honest--even if you are telling the truth (which I'm not sure of yet), I'm not exactly worried about losing a PFK. On the other hand, the Necronomicon...if there is only one scum left, and it isn't you...if they got that book, could it swing the game? That's the question (if you're telling the truth).
I'm guessing no. Does anyone more familiar with the lore want to fill me in on what the Necronamican is?
special ed
02-10-2009, 12:03 PM
so, we had a 3rd 3rd party killer in this game, and still had so few Night kills?
There's so much here not to believe.
My operating theory is this:
The Scum did kill Diggit. They got the book that way.
They've been passing the book to whomever among them is unlikely to be lynched, thereby keeping it in their possession. It now resides with brewha.
The book does give them the power to vanquish the mostly dead. (and probably more powers..all the more reason not to let brewha keep it...even on the very small chance that he is 3rd party)
If, by some chance, we lynch brewha and he's Scum and a town player doesn't get the book and the game isn't over,then we still have another Scum.
If we do get the book, then we can vanquish the mostly dead and win.
His use of the 5 mostly dead might have undesirable consequences aside from allowing him to survive the lynch.
There are still more mostly dead players. We should not allow him to usa them. There may also be additional mostly dead players if we don't lynch him.
I don't believe story would allow the game to be lost by lynching the person who somehow got the book through a kill.
So many thoughts come so quickly as to why I still don't believe brewha.
When does this Day end?
brewha
02-10-2009, 12:07 PM
Yeah, there's probably little chance that the scum could swing the game at this late stage even if they do get the book. But, if they do, at least the blame will lay on all of you voting for me at this point. I just didn't want to go down as losing the game for the town.
I gotta get back to work, depending on when the day is over, this will probably be my last post.

I'm sure he will, if we give him the chance. But I'm not going to. I still don't believe him at all.
Zeriel
02-10-2009, 12:45 PM
He has the chance now, in theory--his PM says passing the book is a Day action.
Trepa Mayfield
02-10-2009, 12:49 PM
Whoops, need to look more carefully.
Yeah, if he is telling the truth, he should pass the Necronminicon to one of the confirmds (don't tell ahead of time which one, though).

EXT THE AREA SURROUNDING THE CABIN - DUSK
Close on the face of SPECIAL ED
SPECIAL ED
Kill him!
Pull out to reveal the entire group, clustered together, once again armed with a variety of lethal-looking household implements. The camera dramatically reverses perspective, and suddenly we are looking through the eyes of the mob, straight at a terrified BREWHA (John Voight).
BREWHA
You all have the wrong idea. Killing me won’t solve anything. Just give me until tomorrow. Those Deadites are out there in the woods somewhere… spooky, right? I can help, please, don’t.
Close on a knife, upraised by RAPIER42. It falls. We heaar a wet, gurgling cry, and then, silence. Cut to: the expectant faces of the mob, as they stare down at BREWHA’s motionless form.
PEDESCRIBE
Don’t worry, you guys. Any minute now he’s going to make with the snarling and the ass-face and the bad puns.
Another pause. BREWHA does not make with anything. Blood pools about his upper torso.
ALMOST HUMAN
Crap! I thought we had one.
The group turns slowly, sadly, walks toward the Cabin. Cut to:
INT THE CABIN DINING ROOM – NIGHT
The surviving players are gathered around the dining room table. TOTAL LOST raises a glass.
TOTAL LOST
To brewha. He was always respectful of my chastity, that moron.
THE OTHERS
(Variously)
To brewa!
Brewha, The Famous Actor, a Pro-
Close on TOTAL LOST’s wine glass. Suddenly, the liquid inside is illuminated, by a flood of bright red light coming through the cabin windows. The table begins to shake, plates and cups sliding to the floor with a fearsome crash. The group rises. There is a LOUD BANG at the cabin door. All rise and turn to face it.
PEDESCRIBE
This is not cool.
The door flies open, and off its hinges, crashing into the opposite wall. BREWHA enters. A great bloody gap is still visible where his ribcage used to be. Red flames lick at his head and shoulders. His face is not twisted in the way of the Deadites, but his eyes have gone a flat white. When he enters, he does so by floating several inches above the ground.
BREWHA
Am I late? Did I miss the keg?
He waves his arm, and RAPIER42 flies back into the kitchen, to be pinned against the refrigerator. AMRUSSEL and ZERIEL try to bum rush BREWHA, but with a casual gesture he causes them to spin into one another. Another gesture, and an army of snakes emerge from the couch on which PEDESCRIBE and HOCKEY MONKEY have been thrown, wrapping them and hissing threateningly.
SPECIAL ED
(Master of the obvious)
Brewha is a Deadite!
BREWHA
Wrong! I am not a Deadite. I am a god!
He waves his arms again, and all the living students are drawn as one in front of him. He looms above them.
BREWHA
You fools! I am the most famous actor in this movie! Surely you know that when a famous actor seems to have a small part, it’s inevitably because he turns out to be the secret leader of the insidious and evil forces! Well, brewha, secret leader of the insidious and evil forces, pleased to meet you.
(Laughs)
And you thought I was a Deadite, just another worthless zombie like my mindless minions? Hah!
PEDESCRIBE
(Aside, to HOCKEY MONKEY)
Did he just say “Hah!” Who says that?
BREWHA
I am the master of a great and dark magic. I bound the souls of these Deadite visitors to my own, using that magic, and together we knew we could conquer not only you pathetic fleshbags, but the entire human race! Until you started killing us! That put a crimp in the planning a bit! But then, I found this.
He produces a book bound in what is almost certainly not human flesh.
BREWHA
Necronomicon Ex Mortis: loosely translated: Book of the Dead. I pilfered it off DIGGITCAMARA after I smashed his head in. He was the one who brought the Deadites here in the first place, foolishly reading that book to satisfy his own human curiosity. The Book gives me powers even greater than those I had before, and now I will use them to slaughter you, one by one, and transform you into a Deadite army capable of threatening the entire world, generating a sequel and millions in residuals, and then another sequel, and then sequel after sequel after –
There is a loud BANG. BREWHA’s eyes widen, and he falls silent. After a moment, he looks down – there is now a huge hole where he heart ought to be. He pitches face forward on the floor, dead.
From behind him, COMETOTHEDARKSIDEWEHAVECOOKIES looks up through streaks of blood. A shotgun is in her hand, smoke trailing from the barrel. Her lip curls.
COOKIES
Maybe they can show your sequels at the late night double feature… in hell.
COOKIES expires.
brewha, The Famous Actor, a Scum Godfather, has been lynched.
The crowd gathers around the Necronomicon. It is attached to a long cord, at the end of which is a wicked dagger. A bullseye has been roughly painted on the back of the Necronomicon. Determinedly, AMRUSSELL lifts the dagger and raises it above his head.
MILLIT THE FRAIL
(From the corner)
Nooooooooooo!
AMRUSSELL drives the dagger down into the book. A sickly green mist floods out of the book, encircling MILLIT. We hear her shouts as she is dragged into hell. When the mists clear, it is Day. The camera pans across the faces of the students.
It is over.
Cut to
EXT OUTSIDE THE CABIN - DAY
TITLE CARD
One year later…
Five college students enter. One is already talking.
CATINASUIT
…and more than half of them ended up dead. True story. I heard it from David Baxter who heard it from Amy Winn who heard it from her sister Devin who was friends with Ashley before she died. So I thought: a haunted cabin in an isolated wood, where people have been horribly murdered not a year in the past? Perfect place for spring break! Now, people will be arriving soon, so…
The students cross out of the frame, leaving the camera addressing the woods, the side of the cabin, and the nearby wood chipper. Slowly the camera closes on the wood chipper, and inside, to where the HEAD OF HOOPY FROOD lies dormant, eyes closed.
HIS EYES OPEN.
Blackout.

Oh, and, incidentally, I lied.
Here's my real real Role PM:
Mafia: Evil Dead - Role PM
Welcome to the game; you are the Sorority President
ALIGNMENT: Town
GENERIC: Mason
WIN CONDITION: All Deadites have been vanquished.
BACKGROUND:
There is a group likes yours in every horror movie. There are three of you, and you always walk down the hallway in a row.
You are the big cheese, the queen bee, the mistress of all you survey; you are the President of the Xeta Xeta Xeta sorority. As far as the people who are attending this party are concerned, you are god. You’re played by Rachel McAdams, or possibly Rose McGowan (what, you never saw Jawbreaker? For shame!). Your parents may have neglected to pass on the “sweet” gene, but fortunately, you got two copies of the gene for ass-kicking.
This party was your party from the ground up. You planned it, created the guest list, designed the posters and had them distributed by an army of brainless pledges, ordered the booze, and even served as bouncer to keep out a few of the more egregiously uninvited.
And now a bunch of crashers think they’re going to ruin spring break just because they happen to be dead? Forget it. You’ll bury them. Again.
POWERS:
1. Apart from your ongoing responsibility to set a good example to the teeming masses with your sense of style and razor wit, you are also confident that hockey monkey, your Vice President, and Pleonast, your Treasurer, are neither heinous Deadites nor working against the interests of the halfway decent people in attendance. Use this information as you will.
You and your fellow XXX members practically speak your own language, and so can communicate privately even in broad daylight. Use the Mason board at <snip>
2. It can’t quite be said that your word is law, but even in this chaotic environment, the President of Xeta Xeta Xeta holds some sway. Your vote will be the deciding vote in the event of any tie in the lynch voting; if your vote is not for one of the leading candidates, you will be given the opportunity to break the tie anyway.
Should you die, this responsibility will pass automatically to your Vice President. Should she die as well, it will pass to the Treasurer. Should all three of you die, the advantage will shift; the Deadites will gain the tie-breaking power.

I think Story hinted in the gallery that he wrote it himself (since he has such a distinctive writing style). So we were wrong about the film-tell :).

Thanks to Story for a great game! Wish I hadn't died so quickly, but I'm glad we won. For the curious, I was an investigator with the catch that I died if I investigated a Deadite, so my death was a by-product of investigating bufftabby on Night One; the red handprint would have been a cue to lynch her the next day if peeker hadn't beat us to it. So, yes, buffy, you totally kicked my ass again; I picked you to investigate because you seemed like the towniest player. Congratulations. ;)

Thanks to everyone for an awesome game, especially storyteller and my badass partners in crime. I enjoyed every minute. Except that one where I got kind of lazy and allowed my as-yet-undetected self to slip up. :) I was talking a little too fast and loose at the wrong time, and I hammered myself. Ah, well. Still worth it.
I think my big problem was relying way too much on cool game mechanics and talking strategy with the other scum instead of spending more time on the actual game. Except the spreadsheet; I spent tons of time on that. Why didn't anyone check it after I died, btw? ;) I really thought that I didn't need to vote for MHaye and JSexton because the town would be looking on their bandwagons to find the other scum, and I didn't want to be there. I had bandwagoned for macey and thought that was enough. It just goes to show that whether or not it's a smart strategy, town will try go after the players who don't vote for scum. In this game, it totally worked.
The other problem was one all of us Deadites had....we figured out the whole SK thing waaaaaay too slowly and thus had the enormous task of trying to kill all the townies ourselves instead of letting them whittle down the numbers for us.
All in all, I want to hear what everyone thinks. Anybody have any hilarious behind-the-scenes stories to tell? You can read all of mine on the scum boards, of course.

I haven't read the scum thread yet, and I don't want to sound all self-important, but I think my lynch was the beginning of the end for the scum. Not only did you lose a Serial Killer who wasn't able to hurt you guys at all, which I'm fairly surprised you all didn't put together, but you all really exposed yourselves to get me lynched too, and over Hal of all people. My top three suspects, the third of which I was too lazy to name and didn't want to name after I got spoiled, were all pretty much determined from how the scum handled my lynch.
So, really, I'm thoroughly confused. I figured my cover was good enough to convince the town, and considering all the scum voted against me and I only lost by one vote, I think I did that. So, darn you all, darn you all to heck for costing me the game. :mad:
Natlaw
02-12-2009, 02:09 PM
The Day six and seven votes also had the Deadites clustered, which was why they came out on top in the vote analysis I think.
And looking at the scum/SK boards, wow, you got even great color there Story! Really nice :).
My personally really big moment of 'omg I got scum' was when NAF claimed, because my win condition was:
WIN CONDITION: All Deadites have been vanquished, and there is no chance of an exclusive win for any third-party.
It lasted until Story told me he had made a mistake :(. When Total Lost had a similar reaction to Cookies' PM, it convinced me she was town.
I agree with the sentiment that it is better not to allow PM posted, but on the other hand the extra reveal color does bring extra flavor to the game.

Too bad you didn't get the Sketchy Seminar Student PM up a Day earlier, would have helped brewha a lot I think (then I again I bought MHaye PM as well).
Reading the scum boards, it would have been a fun ending if brewha would have kept reading the Necromonicon and got sucked into Hell :cool:.
Millit the Frail
02-12-2009, 04:10 PM
As for role PM quoting, I'm against it from here on out. I think storyteller mentioned this in the Forbidden Thread, but it's not really fun to argue over slight differences in wording or dashed lines, though it was kind of fun to try to imitate style. Even though it completely failed! We eliminated the possibility of claiming the other cover roles early on, because it would have looked really bad if we had those powers but couldn't actually use them. For example, if you claim DNA Detective, you'd better have some good results and some good rationales for who you've investigated!
I wrote that fake PM at like 3 in the morning, so yeah, I made some mistakes. I didn't get to it earlier because I don't think our priorities were there at the time. I don't know if it would have convinced any more townies to back off--you had a pretty good hold on him!
Blaster, I think you've got a point. However, absolutely none of us picked up on the fact that you could only kill townies! It would have been great if we had, but it would have been really hard to let us know without letting everyone else know too.

Millit the Frail
02-12-2009, 04:34 PM
:smack: Yeah, he did, but I don't remember us ever picking up on it. Wasn't that one of the reasons why he went down so quickly after claiming, though? He could kill people in dreams (not that we saw all the ways he could do so, but he did admit to one), but Deadites were pretty much immune to his powers, whatever they were? It might have been suicide to back off him once he revealed that.
Or maybe we were just dense about the whole thing. I don't remember our thought processes, but I don't think it occurred to us that we should have been trying to keep him around until too late. We went from doing really well to doing really badly in about one Day/Night cycle. The whole game changed, for me, when I realized we had a ginormous amount of townies to kill all by ourselves and most of our names suddenly came up on the suspicious lists.

HAHAHAHAHA! Brillliant. My new rule of Mafia - it could be a subtle and sophisticated ruse, but it's probably just a screw up.
Yeah, I fucked up early and often.
But, not entirely my fault! Macey used a different name on the scum boards. I found a scum slip and latched on to it like a pitbull. Then, of course I found out the folly of my actions.
Yeah, had I actually read through the scum boards it plainly stated that Macey was my partner in scumdom - but no.
And of course, by the time I figured it out, the bandwagon was a-rollin. Had I gotten off at that point, I woulda been fingered for sure.
Natlaw, here's my final PM to Story:
Re: Necronomicon Action: Day 10
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Can I change my day action?
If reading the book will cause me to assplode and get sucked into another dimension, I'll be reading the book today.
My original day action would have been turn Blam into a zombie and have a double night kill on night 10 - which woulda been cool. But, since no one took my Roleclaims seriously, I changed it.

I'm embarrassed that I didn't vote for you, because I shouldn't have expected a Jester type role. But I stand by the "Blam is trying to get lynched" part of that analysis, because you could not have garnered more suspcion if you tried. I know from the forbidden thread that you were hoping we'd leap from, "Blam is clearly acting in an astonishingly suspicious way" to "scum would never do that" but if town are presented with someone who, whatever his exact role maybe, is clearly not town, they're going to lynch him. Especially because you managed to dominate conversation so much that there hadn't been any real discussion of anyone else.

But I stand by the "Blam is trying to get lynched" part of that analysis, because you could not have garnered more suspcion if you tried. I know from the forbidden thread that you were hoping we'd leap from, "Blam is clearly acting in an astonishingly suspicious way" to "scum would never do that" but if town are presented with someone who, whatever his exact role maybe, is clearly not town, they're going to lynch him. Especially because you managed to dominate conversation so much that there hadn't been any real discussion of anyone else.
Eh, dominating discussion is what I do. :cool:
But really, I was kind of screwed; I couldn't come out and claim PFK. The town should have realized that lynching a PFK was a bad idea at that point, and the scum should have realized that I'd likely help them catch up.
Unfortunately, coming out and claiming that would have gotten me lynched immediately because the gut reaction is to eliminate an anti-town element. Of course, the town did potentially gain a lot of information from my lynch because of how the scum played it, but that was never used AFAICT. It's a real shame too, cause I had some interesting plans for what to do with my powers if I'd managed to get into a winning position and it would have made the game VERY interesting.
Still, I hold the scum singularly responsible for my lynch, and thus their loss, because I can. :D

The general consensus in the Forbidden Thread, my friend, is that you are in a lot of trouble the next time you play this game. You're going to get killed so many different ways you might come back around to alive again by dawn of Day Two.
No, this is good! Maybe I'll survive past Night One now. More players like amrussell please.

Woot!
Awesome game, Story, seven thumbs up. And nicely done, town. Sorry I sucked so bad in the start.
I'm off to be spoiled now, yay!

You should not be typing while hammering. That can only lead to accidents.

No, no, I was a Hammer Brother in Idles' game. I'm done hammering now.

Not in the near future, I'm afraid. That is to say, I could have joined one of the two new games just days before my first child is due, but some tingling spider sense warned me that, all things considered, this would not be a wise move.

Just the same, I think that right now it would be a very bad idea.

Knowing my luck, the first time I'm scum I'll be running on 2 hours sleep.
While we're doing the personal stuff, how did that job interview go?

Thanks for asking though. :)
Hope everything goes well with the delivery. Let us know?

Everything going well would be an exaggeration, but the ultimate outcome was exactly what we wanted: healthy mother and baby.
Only after naming him did I realise that his initials are ARR. So it's pirate outfits from here on in.

Hey, congrats!
The initials thing is a bitch, but ARR is actually a pretty cool set of initials. My wife and I are just talking about baby names in theroy, but the few names we have come up with get killed when we think of the initials.
