So, why did I die the first night? Did I do something to give myself away? Dumb luck? This must have been a great game to be a BH. grats guys. ---

Well, I had hoped to make you cry, just not quite that way. ;)I suppose I should have just written my own PM, but I wanted to see some other vanilla PMs for comparison. When Mahaloth posted one that was word for word the same as yours, I figured I would just tag along. So was that why you killed me, or was **Telcontar** right in guessing you were afraid **AllWalker** would confirm me as non-BH? ---

Yeah, I had no idea **peekerslit** was on my side, I don’t have the cojones to go after a teammate that aggressively. It makes sense, I always thought that we were way underpowered, with only two members (one of whom, of course, was completely worthless…and then **Pinkies** didn’t contribute much, either). The sinner boards may be up for the honor of most boring scumboards ever…a few posts of me asking “Hey, is anyone else out there?” **Pinkies** put in a brief appearance and then vanished. ---

I hope Ped opens the Scum board for you guys. It has been active the last two days, when no one else was chatting in the main game. ---

> [@Thing\_Fish](#): > > So was that why you killed me, or was **Telcontar** right in guessing you were afraid **AllWalker** would confirm me as non-BH? We killed you because we were afraid that the Sinners could be very close to hitting their win condition. Kill you and finding a pure townie meant that we controlled our own destiny and only had to get that last mislynch for the win. ---

I have about 100 MORE posts in the scum board then in the public board. TF, we killed you because you asked me to post my PM and then you copied it. Killing you should have confirmed me as VT and left Mahaloth with a question mark, which I think is where he was most of the game. ---

Also, I have to admit, hitting power roles randomly for the first few nights was fun. I took great enjoyment watching everyone squirm and wonder how we were doing it, when it was just luck ---

Eh, not so much, I don’t think (about the Sinners being close to winning). Although I never did know how the Blackhearts fit in with my win condition; if you counted as Sinners, I guess **Meeko and Stickler were the last two puritans. I see that you, Rysto, ended the game as an ensinned blackheart, but Joey** and **Mahaloth** didn’t. Did their demonic status make them immune to sin? ---

Another thing, I have to give credit where credit is due, and I’ll say this here since I said it several times in the scum board, hell I mentioned it in the PUBLIC board also. Meeko really REALLY helped us. All his non-sense bullshit he kept spewing allowed us to keep quiet and got town so freakin confused that they weren’t even looking at us. Why a confirmed townie would talk in code, I don’t know. On the up side, Meeko, as a townie, your crap is what kept you safe from the NK and your mason status kept you safe from the lynch. ---

By the way, Chronos. Did you know that no Blackhearts had voted for other Blackhearts Days 1-3, and that one had done so Day 4? We assumed that you got that information as part of your Role. If you did have that information you really, really should have claimed Night 4. That information could have turned the game around for the Town. ---

The sinners could have been awesome…under slightly different circumstances. If you’d both lived until near endgame things would have been fascinating; I was gaming out scenarios where some truly odd stuff happens. Oh, so can you all post your real role PMs? Mine was: You are Reverend Wilson. As a holy man, you can protect people from evil. You can also purge them of sin. Powers: 1. Each night, you may visit someone. That person will be wholly unaffected by any evil forces that night. That person will also be purged of the seed of sin, if he had it. 2. You are so pure that you cannot be infected with the seed of sin. 3. If you are ostracized, you can do one more protect that night. You are Town. ---

I already posted my role PM. 😉 [QUOTE=pedescribe] You are Chillingworth, a Blackheart. As an Indian-loving herbologist, you are obviously an evil demon trying to kill everyone. This place is as good as any. However, you are also a doctor. You can protect people, or kill them! Powers: 1. You are a Blackheart. You can communicate with the other Blackhearts here: [The Blackhearts | Secret Borde](http://notsogenericscum.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=paintitblack) using the account: username: password: 2. Each night, one of you can go out and kill. 3. Each night, if you aren’t doing the kill, you can protect someone. The person will wake up with ‘a slightly healed feeling’. [/QUOTE] ---

So now you can see that you guys where this close to figuring out Rysto. In fact, it was even mentioned a few times, but I don’t think anyone was sure enough of it (at an early enough time) to really run with it. ---
