If you want to help the town, then giving a better explanation of your role would be a good start. ---

My last comment was aimed at Romanic, btw. ---

It’s like giving town two lynches for the price of one, I am in favor. Yeah, I can certainly think of worse outcomes, lynching a townie or harmless third party on next to no discussion being one of them. But let’s see. ---

Wow, a lot of posts since I went to sleep. I can see sleeping in the day will be harsh on me (I went to bed at four am and get up now, at one pm, to find about 150 new posts). I better find a way to be awake during the daytime. 😛 > [@Normal\_Phase](#): > > I wanted to say, too, that I don’t really like Idle’s post that TL refers to here. As she points out, there’s a sort of casual mis-use of the word “most” in that many of those who have commented only discussed mass claims – not many have so far come out explicitly against the idea of Drain Bead’s that Total is promoting here. What part of my post was wrong? So far I see only one or two who are “for” TL’s idea…the rest either don’t want to do it or don’t think it’s very good at this time. Seems to me that equates out to most people not being for it. Anyway, I’m caught up now and while 4 scum is very small for a 30 plus game, I agree it’s far too specific (third choosing fourth) to be ignored. **Unvote Drain Bead** **Vote Romantic** ---

I like that you’re trying the bad cop role here, but it needs more steel. Something like this, maybe: “Full reveal now, scummo. My vigging finger’s getting twitchy.” If you have any tips on my good cop routine, please advise. It feels so unnatural. 😛 ---

It seemed you were overstating the case in order to make your point, as relatively few people had even commented on that specific proposition. ---

NETA: That was at Idle. @ the old lady who forget to take her medication: Post 561 was pretty good. Maybe you could add an offer of a nice comfy chair and a cup of hot chocolate while he makes up his mind. ---

> [@peekercpa](#): > > so he doesn’t pay attention when he is town? He pays attention as town. Just not as much. In a couple of recent games his attention to detail actually made him a suspect, and in both cases he turned out to be mafia. ---

Welcome to the game; you are the Hitchhiker ALIGNMENT: Town GENERIC: Special WIN CONDITION: All Scum and malicious third-parties (if any) have been vanquished. BACKGROUND: In every horror movie, there comes a time when, on a lonely drive through deserted country, the hero and heroine slow down briefly as they pass a solitary figure, standing alone on the shoulder with thumb extended, seen only in silhouette. Maybe he’s carrying a shoulder bag full of snack food; maybe he’s carrying the dismembered and half-eaten corpse of his last victim. Impossible to say. Well, in this movie, that silhouette has two thumbs, no corpses in the sack, and goes by the name of you. You’ve never really been the type to settle down in one place for long. You’ve had a few brushes with romance, but your one true love is the open road… the call of the wild… the dust in the wind… the sand spurs in your sneakers… crap, those things hurt. Yes, even the most dedicated wanderer must stop to rest from time to time, and this time the wind has blown you to a little cabin in the woods, whose occupants appear to be besieged by, of all things, Demons. You’ve seen a lot of things in your time; this isn’t the first Demonically possessed wood chipper you’ve encountered. So you might be able to offer a bit of assistance to this gang of Demon finger food… if you can overcome your native wanderlust and stick around long enough to help. POWERS: 1. At your discretion at any time Day or Night, you may choose to exit the game. You will be permanently removed from the active game (but continue to win or lose with Town). Your role and alignment will be revealed as if you had died. If you wish to leave the game, please place a post to that effect in the main game thread, marked in bold-face and green text, and then post no more. Your departure will be effective from the time-stamp of that post. All active votes that had been placed on you, as well as your own vote, will be cancelled. Any actions directed against you will fail; however, players targeting you will have the opportunity to change their choice once you are gone. At their discretion, the moderators may choose to extend the Day or Night on which you depart by a maximum of 24 hours to allow for reaction to your departure. Boohoo.
