My first thought on reading the writeup was a quote from a Carry On film.
I too was relieved to see that we get some clues as to game alignment. It's hard to recognise until you get both Town and non-Town results though. I remember a game where there was no Cop, just a machine. It gave a coded reading that no-one could decipher - until we tested and then lynched a Werewolf, which made the code glaringly obvious. Thereafter we could feed a suspect into the machine, read the results and know whether they were Town or Wolf - and if the latter, lynch them that Day. I've been thinking that there might be something like that, and sure enough there is. |

So just to get this straight, does neutral mean ToeJam could have been 3rd Party or PFK? I just want confirmation 'cos in my head that what it means.

Ouch, my back is still aching from that Wind attack! Thanks a lot for that, whoever decided to go after me. (I have my suspicions, ahem.) Obviously it could've been a lot worse if I hadn't been healed. How're you doing, MHaye? Normal seems to have fended her attack pretty well. Good for her. I'm surprised that Astral needed healing. Was he injured and I didn't notice? |

It's not that he was neutral, it's the 'self-interested' part in the description.

OK, as promised, a summary of my communications with ToeJam:
I first heard from him, unsolicited, during the Gadarene/fubbleskag "third party win condition" kerfluffle. He sent me a PM titles "Here ya go", saying: Quote:
I asked him how he knew this: was it his wincon? Also how 'Neutral' was defined in this context. His reply: Quote:
Quote:
That was that, at the time. Then I got another unsolicited email midway through Day 3: Quote:
I assume it was the last PM that he was referring to when he talked about his 'investigation', but as you can see there was no indication at the time that this was anything other than another piece of 'unsubstantiated' information that he was passing along. I have no idea how much, if any, of what ToeJam told me is true, and if untrue I have no idea who the 'liar' is: ToeJam, or his unnamed source. Since ToeJam was a Rogue (Thief), it seems unilkely that he was also an Investigator, so I take everything he said with a grain of salt. I've got some yardwork to do now, so I'll be away from the computer for a while. I'll answer any other questions later this afternoon/evening, but you really know pretty much all I know about the situation now. |

Meh, realitytrips told me himself that he'd attacked Visorslash so at least for me the investigation info is not news (though it does substantiate it). I was planning to post my conversations with RT tonight anyway (only mildly redacted), since he hasn't done us the honor of turning up.
He was lying about being a soldier -- soldiers don't do 80 hp damage, and I don't think you can get to rogue from there in two days either though I could be remembering that wrong. I do buy that neutral morality players can be town, but I don't think that he was. Maybe Gadarene has more to say -- he claimed ToeJam was doing good work for the town and I could see how a thief might be capable of that, but ToeJam didn't have any items on him at hte time of his death. |

Given that this game has RPG elements, could a Rogue, as someone who might be casing joints, be able to watch coming & goings? Alternatively, is it possible that power roles have separate persistent powers to the RPG roles? Not that I'm ruling out him lying. Just putting it out there. |

Well, Plankton has stolen a good bit of my thunder. I was also in private conversation with ToeJam before his death. Per TJ, he was not a Rogue when he Watched Visorslash; he was an Assassin, which he claims is a watcher role. As far as I can tell, he was switching classes as frequently as he could in order to try to figure out what they all did.
He was very confident that fubbleskag was a third party, but didn't claim any insider information - it was just based on his own win condition and the way fubbles appeared to be trying to collect money early on. This seems like a pretty reasonable connection, though not obviously definitive. I have no reason to think he was lying about RealityTrips visiting Visorslash; when ToeJam lies it's usually a bit bigger and grander than something like that. He was also very careful not to say for certain that RealityTrips attacked Visorslash, which I think he would have done if he were making the whole thing up out of whole cloth. He also had some information on which players were communicating extensively off board. I'm not really sure that information is worth very much - I don't think a frequent off-board communicator is any more likely to be Town or Scum than one who stays mostly or entirely on-board. Think that's it. |

Whilst the reveal gives us more info than the others, "self interested" is one of the standard d&d definitions of Neutral, so that part may well have been just another moral alignment reveal.
An assassin would probably have lock picking devices too, and certainly would watch comings and goings. If this was supposed to be a transitory role - Suburban Plankton or Storyteller, did ToeJam give you any ideas as to what else he passed through? It doesn't seem to me to be something that could be gotten by day 3 levelling from soldier. Then again, did I notice that there is a sort of way to move up fast by levelling in the day and changing roles in the following night? That doesn't seem to be what the initial Role PM said, but I have some memory of ATPG saying it? I guess the obvious question is whether an assassin was responsible for any of the outright kills (and if it was night, why it might have looked like a Phere killing)? |

Is anyone else finding the Nights way too long? I know we can talk but it seems as if everybody is waiting for Day to start again. I realise that Pizzamod has a lot to do but I am waiting to see what happened during the Night and if it could help us at all.

I think the next game I host will have 4 kills per cycle: day lynch for town and day kill for scum, and then night lynch for town and night kill for scum. What fun! What bloodshed!

ToeJam told me during day 1 that he was a Soldier. According to story, when he watched Visorslash he was an Assassin. He told me about Visorslash/realitytrips during Day 3 and referred to it as happening "last night", which would mean Night 2. And he was a Rogue (Thief) when he died. So, if he was telling the truth he went Soldier (Day 1) -> Assassin (Day 2) -> Rogue (Thief) (Day 3). |

PMs from realitytrip as promised. I've redacted most of his information, though it's necessary for context to reveal that he didn't start the game as plain vanilla. I'm not sure what to think of him and am upset that he just disappeared. A few more thoughts after I eat.

Not too much. I haven't been on my computer a ton over the last few days, POG being down and it being the weekend and all. My overall energy level for this game has ebbed a bit as well.
I'm happy to quote my PM conversations with ToeJam if you think it would shed some additional light. He said that he had a Neutral win condition (the "amass wealth" thing I talked about however many Days ago) but that he was actively working in favor of the Town and that he was not a PFK; I saw no reason to disbelieve him. I advance in class after toNight, and I'm interested to see what new powers I'll have. I was sort of expecting this game to be higher-carnage than it has been.

What makes no sense to me is how realitytrip approaches the disclosure.
He's been "going back and forth" on whether Normal Phase is town, and right now he's leaning town, so... here's his role claim. (I'm assuming that's what the redacted part is, since they later discuss his night power). It's nonsensical. |

If my notes are correct, these are the attacks on Visorshash:
Day 1 - 0 HP (unspecified attack, protected by Inner Stickler, who took 75 HP damage) Day 1 - 100 HP (magical orb) Night 1 - 100 HP (physical attack) Day 2 - 50 HP (physical attack by Lord Phere) Day 2 - 100 HP (magical orb) Day 2 - 150 HP (physical attack) Night 2 - 100 HP (unspecified attack) Normal, Can you say with any certainty which of these attacks realitytrip is taking credit for? |

When he first contacted me, RT's role reveal (along with his focus on the non-Phere kills, which I later thought I might have mis-read) slammed me right into "I'm dealing with a third party here" territory. I guess I just have a mental block on the idea that a scum team would sign on for such a questionably motivated contact. And the bit in the opening color about there maybe being players in the game who are only out to get each other would seem to explain a lot: his scummy posts, his concern with night attackers who are not Lord Phere, and even his contacting me -- whatever I'm coming across as, I very much doubt that anyone's seeing me as a likely third party/PFK. And a third party wouldn't much care if I was scum or town, only that I didn't come after him. So I don't know. I've been back and forth a dozen times since this PM exchange.

I'll quote the old adage "more information is better for Town", and then point out that without knowing whether or not you and/or realitytrip are being completely honest, we have no idea whether or not we can trust any of the information you might give us. But I think it will help us start putting puzzle pieces together. And if we come across any pieces that don't fit, that gives us a lead to work. |

But that means he did 100 HP damage twice, 150 once, and 75 once. Why the disparity? The lesser damage taken by Inner could be a result of some ability of item of his that reduced damage, but why would what appears to be the same physical attack do varying amounts of damage? |

Inner protected, so took half of the 150. As for the rest it was described as related to his role but that's all I can say.

Of course, you were 'Good', while ToeJam was 'Neutral', so that might have changed the options available...but then again, my PM listed options for me that required an Alignment change. LightFoot has mentioned the same, so it would seem that initial Alignment shouldn't be an issue here. |
