[QUOTE=storyteller0910] Welcome to the game; you are Molly Hooper
ROLE TYPE: Investigative
ALIGNMENT: Yours (Town)
WIN CONDITION: You win when all of Mine (Scum) have been eliminated.
*Dear Miss Hooper –
I hope this letter finds you well; I do hope you’re not still CROSS with me over that thing where I pretended to love you and crushed your spirit even further than it’d already been crushed. But if you are, I’d like to make it up to you by extending you an invitation to attend a party at my home this Tuesday evening. You might wonder why we’d need a morgue drone at a friendly gathering. If you DO wonder that, then you’re even dumber than you were that time where you thought I loved you.
SEE YOU TUESDAY! *
POWERS: Alone in the morgue each night you can go through the pockets of one of the dead to discover their clue. And I’ll bet you think that sounds like FUN!
CLUE: There are multiple groups or systems that might be described as Masons in Mafia terms, though not all are Masons in the traditional sense.

N1 I looked through Dizzy’s pockets and discovered, CLUE: Scum players have all been given complete, detailed false identities, including clues.
N2 I had a choice between Chronos and JohnnyBravo. Chronos had allegedly told us his clue, and I was not 100% certain of his death and so I chose Johnny. I have debated sharing his clue and I’m still not sure it’s the right thing to do.
CLUE: There is a Scum player who does not have access to the Scum boards at the outset of the game. The majority of the Scum do not know this.
After this odd post from Darth, I’m wondering if he’s the one who does not have access to the Scum boards, and did not know that Chronos was the godfather.
He’s given it some thought and said that he’s reread, and yet he doesn’t think that a scummy Diggit would know that Chronos was the godfather?
Darth posted his views when prompted by Daphne, but I noticed that he did not include anyone that she didn’t ask about. No views on Mahaloth, no views on Idle, just the minimum required and I still think that his bandwagon vote on me is crap.
This is not a reassuring policy. If I vote for player X for a terrible reason, and you vote for me because my reason is terrible, are you “defending” X? That is exactly analogous to what I’m doing.
I disagree with the votes on TexCat for easily communicated reasons, which have been explained. You either agree or disagree with them, and vote accordingly. There’s no way you can demonstrate I’m showing insider knowledge by pointing out how weak those votes are. Plus, I have a clear and vested reason in defending TexCat, because the rationale for voting for her is the same rationale as voting for me, as evidenced by the fact that people are voting me for those reasons.
BTW, I looked through the last 5 games on Idle’s board to test this theory about scum voting to defend themselves and the evidence does not really back it up.
On Day One, twice out of the five games, scum was lynched. In one case because of a scum slip, and in the other case because fellow scum didn’t bother to vote on the opposing wagons.
Of the three games where town was lynched on Day One, one game had all townies in contention, one game had 3 townies and a scum as a distant fourth in contention, and exactly one game came down to a scum vs townie lynch where the townie was lynched.
I seem to have a completely different understanding of your current posts and of my policy.
I usually don’t vote for someone whose posts I disagree with (“terrible reason”). They have their ideas and I have mine, and I might try to argue against them but that’s as far as I would go.l
I also wouldn’t defend someone who’s on the receiving end of a vote, even if the voter simultaneously went directly against me, for the same reasons. I would argue against the reasoning, probably, but I would still not defend my co-votee because I simply cannot vouch for them.
Sorry, but your arguments simply don’t put you in the best of lights over here. Thus, my vote stands.
This might come as a surprise to you guys, but I don’t want to see TexCat swing. Askthepizzaguy is the next closest candidate minus myself.
All game, it feels like Pizza has been daring town to lynch him. Or scan him. No, don’t scan him! Wait, yeah, scan him. Everything he says is exactly what he feels, except when it isn’t. Then it’s just a clever ploy to trick scum into agreeing with him. Or disagree with him, that’s telling too. He has told us exactly how to catch him, which is worthless advice. He has told us exactly how to treat his actions, which is worthless advice.
Post 722 is him gloating about “catching Chronos” when it’s all after-the-fact interpretations of his actions.
Inner Stickler sums that whole mess up very succinctly here, and I agree.
I think this is a weak on Mahaloth, and I don’t believe it comes from a townie mind-set:
Is this vote because OMGUS? Just because you claim he’s wrong about your scumminess? Just for pressure? You list all three, and the way you’ve phrased this vote makes it feel like they’re mutually exclusive thought processes, just tacking on reasons one after another.
And, finally, your white knighting comment. I don’t see a town player voting based on a behavior, then realizing they do that behavior too, and then lampshaded that fact rather than reconsider their vote.
Darth’s and Septimus’s votes seem to be divided in your tally. I show Darth with 4 votes from Gnarly, Me, Daphne, and Septimus. And he deserves a few more. Septimus I believe has 3 (2 with my unvote below).
unvote: Idle
unvote: Septimus
unvote: Gnarly
I think Idle is misguided but not scummy. Septimus and Gnarly I am unvoting because of their votes on Darth.
Because I have that same clue, only it’s different (regarding one word)…so I think JohnnyBravo had the same clue that I do and you changed it to make it sound better than it is because you’re scum.
That’s for one.
For two, what on EARTH made you think this was a good thing to share? Now you know precisely why I didn’t want to share mine. My reasons for not wanting to tell them this clue was because PUBLICALLY telling scum that there’s a secret scum player among them DOES NOTHING TO HELP TOWN. Nothing. Benefit is nada. What good does it do? It changes nothing. Info is still the same for Town which is: There are an unknown number of scum that have to be killed.
But for SCUM…well, now they KNOW something they didn’t know before. They are the only ones who gain new information with this reveal. It only benefits them, it doesn’t benefit Town in any way to know that.
Anyway, that was MY reasoning for not revealing the clue (which, again, isn’t exactly the same as the one you found–there’s a key word in mine that changes things considerably…but that STILL only benefits Scum and not Town).
YOU, on the other hand…I think you’re scum who thought that sharing this would be a good idea and give you Town cred.
To make things a bit more clear: I think Texcat is WITHHOLDING information in JohnnyBravo’s clue (which appears to be the same as mine SAVE FOR THE PART/WORD SHE LEFT OUT).
Thus, I think she’s scum who thought it was a good idea to share that clue but didn’t want to reveal all of it.
No. Just like her revealing the clue that she did isn’t beneficial to town (as far as I can see).
Seriously. What benefit did what SHE SAID the clue said have for Town?
As far as I can see, it only benefits scum.
That’s why I think she’s scum who thought that it’d be “Town-like” to share that info (because I think any true Townsperson would easily see it didn’t have any benefit to Town).
If she’s Town, I can’t think of any reason she’d omit that portion at all…being that she’s apparently willing to say it the way she did (which is still bad, IMHO)
But if she’s scum, the answer changes to yes.
Yes, because the added word/info I got tells MORE about the scum side…which–if she were scum, it wouldn’t matter if she revealed it all publicly because all the scum would already know what the real clue said…but then she’d be hiding the extra info from Town also.
This is what I think she’s doing. I think:
A. She thought it’d be a Townie thing to do to reveal this clue and
B. She didn’t count on anyone else having the same one, so she changes the clue in order to hold back a little info.
What Texcat shared is BAD…because as far as I can see, it only benefits scum.
My clue is WORSE…because it benefits scum even more.
The part that was withheld from JohnnyBravo’s (which is what my clue reads EXACTLY except for one changed word) reveals even more info to scum.
So let’s say Texcat was Town:
Well, then why would she reveal as much as she did in the first place?
Let’s say she’s scum:
In that case, either scum already knows the full info (but Town doesn’t know the extent of it) and she’s lying here to keep the extra info from town…
…OR, it’s even possible that SHE’S MAKING THAT POST AS A SUBTLE MESSAGE THAT SHE’S THE SCUM PERSON THE OTHER SCUM DON’T KNOW ABOUT.
I can’t think of any reason why Town would hold back a bit of their clue once they have decided to reveal their clue. So far the duplicate clues have been identical, maybe Texcat thought all the duplicate clues had been revealed and decided to take a chance. My vote is definitelty staying on her now and I am even more inclined to think she made a slip on D1 about the double clues that scum have.
Idle, I have no idea what you are on about. I did not omit any words from JohnnyBravo’s clue, I just checked my post against my PM. I revealed it because I think it implicates Darth Sensitive as scum.
I agree with Daphne that Darth has been playing very clean, not committing to any positions and trying to stay out of trouble. I, on the other hand, have stuck my nose into everything, had an opinion about everything which has gotten me into trouble.
