Yeah. That’s why I got so suspicious of Ed towards the end. After Lost, I couldn’t imagine that you would allow a handshake to succeed - I went to “Sauron and his minions” largely to give power roles some cover since Ed seemed so determined to keep us on handshaking - and after awhile I began to think that Ed really should have come to the same conclusion. Toss in the fairly blatantly incompetent inclusion of the powers section…he’s either a terrible townie or scum.
I was really getting annoyed at Peeker and Ed for filling the thread with spam. If I were a third party, I might have killed him even though that would be against my usual doctrine.
Edit: Oh, I really wanted to kick Gadarene for saying he trusted me. It’s like “Hey, scum. Here is a persuasive player who no one thinks is evil. Just in case you missed him!”
I suppose my top suspicions going into today were Ed and him, though I did have that growing list of “I really need to reread.” Astral first among those.
Point taken, but peeker can’t be talking about that as the reason for his “nerves.” He wouldn’t acknowledge the possibility that he’d get serial-killed for making the game worse.
Clearly he’s saying that he’s such a threat that he was petrified that he was going to get nightkilled. I just wonder why on earth he’d say that aloud - if he’s town he’s just being ridiculously self-congratulatory and, frankly, wrong in a way that’s going to look suspicious, and if he’s not town he’s making a terrible show of it on account of how wrong what he’s saying is.
I didn’t ask to be spoiled because I wanted to have the fun of ‘playing along’, so I have this question for anyone reading this thread.
Do you have any idea what the hell **ed **and **peeker **(and apparently now Gadarene) are going on about? I was mostly convinced peeker was just making shit up until Gadarene chimed in as well…
I think I’m glad I was killed so soon…because it feels like there’s at least three different games being played here, and I was having enough trouble keepin up with just one…
I don’t like this post by Snickers, and I’m surprised no one else looked at it funny.
Why would Snickers explicitly state that he is not bussing Gadarene? Only scum would bus someone else. It’s a terrible phrasing. If he is scum, he pretty much explicitly states so right there. Not only that, but that Gadarene is scum too.
If he is Town, then he clearly doesn’t know the definition of “bussing.”
So, yeah. My death was entirely my fault. It was pretty fun when I realized that defending myself could only muddle things up for my team; I had to flip as soon as possible so I wouldn’t be a distraction anymore. Oh, well!
No spoilers for me, I want to see how this plays out.
All this talk about Ed’s attempt to handshake is making me see red. I’m going to go on record here as an impartial observer who doesn’t know the alignments of any of the players (I know the set-up but not the role distribution) that Ed’s play was a good play (I am also unaware of the contents of any and all messages sent to the players). It’s not his fault that a bunch of Town Power Roles decided to out themselves in the process. If you hold a Town Power role and someone attempts a Vanilla Town handshake, you STFU! You are not vanilla! Ed is not addressing you! If anything, Ed messed up by trying to confirm ALL vanillas instead of a small subset. But the attempt itself was a good move. I can’t fathom how these people can point to Ed as the reason why so many Town Power roles have outed themselves. He didn’t make them post what they did. The mistake is entirely on them. Furthermore, I don’t even think Gadarene was killed because scum thought she’s a powerrole, I think they killed her because she picked apart Suburban Plankton’s fake claim with precision.
Anyway, Ed, when you get around to reading this post; I think you did a good move there.

Man, I feel like an idiot.
Not just for outing myself via the handshake – although I’m still not sure exactly what it was that gave it away, since I didn’t feel like I responded to anything that couldn’t have been natural variation in a vanilla’s color text (e.g., the number of times Sauron is mentioned) – but because I had a bunch of different powers, each of which I could only use once or twice. Among my two-time powers was the ability to self-protect, which I used the first Night b/c I was worried about the whole Suburban Plankton thing.* I didn’t self-protect again on Night Two because I wanted to (a) save my ability to do that for a future Night when the numbers were smaller; and (b) help Town by using one of my other powers.
So I self-protected when (apparently) nobody targeted me, and then opted not to self-protect the next night, at which point I immediately died.
*Had we not lynched Suburban Plankton on Day One, I would’ve used a different power the first Night – one involving a little birdie – and things would’ve gotten really interesting. Maybe I should have just kept my mouth shut about Suburban.
(By the way, Mahaloth, as far as I know I still haven’t received my approval for the spoiler board. I’ve registered and everything, but it won’t let me in – am I missing something?) [/spoiler]
