OOG: I wouldn’t say my fun was ruined. I think that was my third-favorite game to play in ever, and one of the top two wasn’t even really Mafia.
But I’m happy to say this publicly:
ALL actions resolve at Dusk or at Dawn, with no exception (I suppose a modkill for very egregious rule violation might be instantaneous, but I don’t think we need to worry about that.
Unvote Mahaloth
Just because I don’t want the Day ending with multiple votes and since no one else is voting for him it’s pretty much irrelevant at this point.
does old reasoning necessarily make my vote invalid?
i don’t think i’m mischaracterizing what you said. an investigation result is good whether the result is scum or town. why discourage investigation at all?
Dammit, I really told myself I wouldn’t let this happen in this game. Sorry for the delay. Dusk momentarily.
…Actually, not momentarily. I must attend to an administrative matter and will hold the official Dusk until I have. Expect Night Three to begin no later than 8AM Eastern tomorrow.
Management apologizes to all for the delay. In recompense for the inconvenience, everyone will be given a duck.
Perfect! Then, before we lynch anyone, we can weight them against the duck. Everyone knows that Scum are lighter than a duck!
Day Three
The Day’s deliberations were long… very long… extending well into the early evening in spite of the fact that a rough consensus had developed some hours before. It was almost as if some unseen force had misplaced a critical spreadsheet, needed to ensure that all events were properly tracked and announced. But that was silly superstition, surely.
Eventually, as the sky turned to full dark, they settled on a victim and led him to the noose. He went quickly, and quietly; he had always believed in the rule of law - yea, even over the rules of heaven - and he had no intention of betraying his belief at the last. Some believed that he would be saved by some last-minute intervention. It was only when his feet finally stopped kicking that they realized they were to be disappointed.
When the dust settled and the body had been properly buried, the 16 living pilgrims retired for the night.
And the rest, except for the ethereal sound of quacking, was silence.
fubbleskag, The Man of Law, has been lynched. His power had been used.
Night Three begins now and will end on the late side of the 1-5 period on Saturday (probably right around 5).
Also, RyJae has joined the game in place of Alka Seltzer. Play nice.
FFS. Sorry fubbles.
Dammit.
But at least we all have ducks. And RyJae, too - welcome!
Hello townies 
I have been paying attention since the start, I was just a day late to volunteer to play. I love this game, even when it feels like you’re banging your head against a brick wall.
Now I want my duck, in orange sauce please.
FFS indeed.
When fubbleskag role claimed, the result it came as no shock to me. At that point, you hadn’t pinged me as scum.
But now…?
Fubbleskag targetted you, Stanislaus, and said you’re not scum. He was the very first person in the game to make a role claim which has to be a huge risk if he’s scum. Now you know with 100% certainty whether you’re town or scum.
So let’s assume you’re town. Fubbleskag says you’re town. You know Fubbleskag is correct which lends credence to his role claim. So then you turn around and lynch him? How does that make any sense?
I mean, you can argue that he used the Momento. Or you can argue that if he was scum he’d already know with certainty that you’re Town and therefore wouldn’t need to guess. But you used neither of those rationalizations when you voted for him.
So tell me, there wasn’t a single other person in the game pinging your scum meter harder than the guy who first stepped up and said you were Town?
Welcome to the game RyJae.
Have you had the opportunity to review the other board’s postings to get caught up there?
Admitting that I clearly screwed-up by letting last-minute self doubt get the better of me…
Why is it a risk to claim? (NB you’re wrong - Mosier claimed first).
Why does fubbleskag knowing I’m town lend credence to his role claim? Do you not see how he would also know this if he is scum? Did you not read my first response to his claim, which included mention of how it didn’t prove his allegiance? Did you not read his acknowledgement of this point in his reply?
RyJae,
Welcome to the game! How did you feel when you discovered you were Scum?
???
Are we cracking jokes or did I miss something revealing in RyJae’s post?
It’s a shame that fubbleskag died and came up Town, but that does give us some extra information.
In this game, there are two problems with believing an investigator’s claim. One is that the investigator might be a lying member of the Brotherhood. The other is that the investigated player might be wearing the Cloak of Lies.
Since fubbleskag was Town, we can believe his report that he investigated Stanislaus, and that Stanislaus came up Town.
I will now reveal without further ado that the result of fubbleskag’s investigation was not corrupted by the Cloak of Lies.
I am The Clerk of Oxford.
On Night 1 I asked Storyteller whether the Cloak of Lies had been selected by the Brotherhood.
He said no.
[QUOTE=storyteller0910]
The Cloak of Lies is not in the game as of Night One.
[/QUOTE]
I don’t believe there is a way to corrupt my investigation (beyond removing my power before I use it). The conclusion I draw from this is that Stanislaus is Town.
Other board? Ha I get it. I will be upfront in my PM to storyteller I told him I would be willing to fill in or be spoiled. And I gave my suspicions on who was scum. You know as a record for if I got spoiled I could use as a aha I knew it all along.
I was wrong on Alka, now me. I was in agreement with Texcats idea on who scum was. Which included me. Also in full disclosure I did not have any limitations on who I would fill in for, I really did think I was coming in as scum. But I got the PM and did a :smack:
So anyway, I have to rethink my entire pre-entering scum line up.
RyJae, welcome back.
(I now have Led Zeppelin running through my head.)
