Hal?
I’m sorry, but that was exactly what I said it was in the main thread. A slip of the brain, and nothing else.
If you convicted me on that, you convicted me for the wrong reasons. I demand a reversal on appeal.
It’s not fun for Town.
Someone did it in Pede’s offboard game on Day 2, because they were outed as SCUM by the Dawn post. I think there were about 150 posts in the Day thread by this one player alone. Some were funny, some distracting, but 20 or so repostings of the Gettysburg Address? With a different letter eliminated each time?
The word used here for that sort of posting is “spam.”
That’s why I didn’t try and flood the game with rhubarb; I felt it against the Forum rules.
Those of you who haven’t followed the game, it also sheds light on the SCUM Mason issue upthread.
It wasn’t. I vanilla town, but Sach mistakenly thought I said Alpha somewhere. I didn’t, I called him on it, and he recanted. S’all cool now.
Huh…well that’s disappointing – your role fit in perfectly with my theory. Ah well…
That I believe, but if I am scum I don’t know that I would care. I haven’t followed that game (I mean to, but it was already 5 pages strong when I first noticed it and I never caught up) but did help balance it. Pede and I spent a lot of time talking about that mason idea, trying to make it work. How did it work?
Oh, no hard feelings, you did the right thing. But I DID have you, I just wasn’t in a position to garner credibility for my case. 
I saw as I continued reading. Thanks.
I didn’t have a very good Day 4, unfortunately.
No problem. Once you get spoiled (I assume you haven’t yet) you’ll see why.
Yep. We also did not know Blaster’s role, contrary to opinion. That really was a case of scum legitimately finding scum through analysis.
This was fun. Of course it was all a lie, and I didn’t expect that many people would give it credibility. I was hoping that a few might, though, and sow enough doubt to shift voting momentum at a critical time.
As for the rest of us not using our talking ability? No one would listen to known scum. My gambit was the only way anyone might, and still hardly anyone bought it If we endlessly spammed, then we’d just get ignored. Or Ignored, more likely. I can even see the board moderators stepping in. It’s a dick move.
Sorry NAF, thought I’d answered it.
The Masons spent some time arguing over when (not whether, but when) they should come clean to the game as a whole. One of the Masons suggested that they would be able to use their power to ID the SCUM Mason Night 1 (incorrectly, I might add). With the vote being two for Day 1 vs one for Day 2, one of the Masons unilaterally outed the controversy, giving everyone a good day or so before the Dusk to hash it over.
One (Town) Mason was lynched and another (also Town) Nightkilled. Since we’d eliminated two (by death) the third stood exposed.
So by Dusk on Day 2, the whole Masonry has been killed off. The fourth casualty was a third party Mad Bomber.
No names, no pack drill.
yowza. I need to read that game. It seems to be blowing up in interestingly unexpected ways.
I am sorry TL, but you have made a couple of really bad choices this game, and right here (below quote) is one of them*.
YOU DONT NEED TO BREADCRUMB! If scum don’t kill a vanilla toNight the game is over for them if town lynches *anyone *tomorrow. They lose on numbers (2 confirmed vs. one scum in the final three.) Moreover, do you think that their is more than one scum left for them to hand the NK off to? Just say who you plan to block! There is no reason not to!
GAHHHHHH!
Sometimes…
*Your failure to protect me, WITH MY DAY ACTION!, at any point was another. All I needed was 2 more Days and the game would have been over.
Okay I’m new to this… so bear with me. Is this allowed? Seems a little like using out of game means to communicate without Scum being able to see whats being said. Even if the means is from the past. That would be like me planning out ahead of time a bunch of different eventualities and posting them somewhere and then telling a player about that site ahead of time. Then when the time came I could just say “Hey remember that site we worked on? Well it’s number 2.”
No difference, I would just be referring to a different site for information that I am trying to relate. Am I wrong, or is that not what TL is doing here?
I think the difference is in planning to do it ahead of time. That’s obviously way over the line. But trying to mask your statements to a specific person by obliquely referencing past events? I don’t think I’d have a problem with it, as a mod. In this case, it’s about a public event, and determined scum could probably find it and read it too.
Unless, of course, the whole game started to revolve around that tactic. I’d step in at that point and ban it.
As **pedescribe **said, does anyone else have a game they want to mod after this one (ok, it’s a bit premature) or would it be possible to have a go?
I think that Sach and Pollux both have games that they are getting ready to go up soonish.
Ok I see the difference. There is quite a bit of grey area there I guess. Thanks for the reply J
…who is “paulwhoisaghost”? Misplaced answer, or did the Ghost of the Creepy Doll migrate boards, too? :eek:
I have a game ready. If this one wraps up during the next week, could someone start a signup thread for me? I’ll be on vacation until the 13th. I’m thinking a one week signup period, then allocation of roles. Or Pollux Oil can do his. Whatever works.
Oh really? I thought that you claimed that the power you invoked yesterDay would prevent all night-kills?
No, he claimed it would only prevent a kill from Dawn to Dusk. So no Daykill or lynch.
