Well, here’s the thing. If Story is scum, and I can’t see any reason why he wouldn’t be, he just lost one of his lives. He can not be unkillable or the game is broken, so my feeling is try try again.
When does the Day power happen? Immediately or at Dusk?
Would the fact that you used a power last Night not disqualify you from using a power Today, or would it mean you can’t use a power Tonight after this kill? Or what?
It happened. I got the PM telling me that it failed right before the post where I said that Story got shot but isn’t dead. My powers work Day to Night, so I can’t use a power toNight, since the gun went off but Story survived.
This is fascinating. Apparently I have powers I don’t even know about.
Here is my PM:
The wording bothers me. I have PIS on Story but I’m reluctant to act upon it. There’s something about it that makes me think Story is not just a Vanilla Scum. Or if he is, then Scum have a play they can make if we lynch him.
A good question. The part of my PM that reads, “They sent a message back to you” means scum know about my actions. As for the 75%: I’m guessing if I fail, I get a PM that tells me I was unsuccessful. So far, I haven’t received such a PM.
[oog] I honesty don’t know how you manage to stay alive. Either that, or you have the most obscenely brilliant tactical mind of our time. If there is a role for Jedi Mind Trickster I would pick you to play it. [/oog]
Meeko, you raise interesting questions. Is it possible I am Scum? No. I have claimed and in light that there are no counterclaims— and that those I’ve investigated have also claimed, thus backing up my story— should make it clear where my alignment lies. Your vote against me smacks of scumminess. It makes me wonder where your alignment truly lies.
I believe that Story’s claim has truth in it: the part where he admits to being scum. I also believe there will be consuquences following his death. If by lynching, we risk multiple casualties; if by Day Kill, we risk the Inventor; if by using our One-shot Vig, we risk another power role. I don’t know which direction to go with this. For now, I’m withdrawing my vote.
unvote Story
Is there a warranty on the gun?
Sounds like a Scotsman. You should have no proctection left, unless there is a Governor scum role with ability to protect you. Again, this is all conjecture, I have no more PIS on you than what I’ve posted.
Actually your have 75%PIS.
Not that it matters, but I read that as your contacts sent a message back to you, so the person you were targeting wouldn’t know. Also, my WAG is that the 25% fail wouldn’t be no response, but rather a false reading.
So, what you are saying is that it’s not possible for you to be a scum investigator and a town investigator is just keeping quiet? I’m not saying your lying, I’m just saying there’s another distinct possibility that can’t be dismissed.
Hmm. I hadn’t considered that. But read more below:
It is a possiblilty, but given that Boozy backed my investigation on N1 would put both of us under suspicion as Scum. If that’s the direction town wants to go, I won’t stand in their way. I urge them NOT to do so as it would be a waste of time and let scum off the hook for another day.
I asked for a ruling since I couldn’t find anything posted. There is nothing wrong with that. I suggest you go back and reread your question in that game, and put it into the context of that game.
I’ve been thinking, and I am going to have to say this, in case I get killed of a Night.
Storyteller spent the entirety of last Night at home. He never went anywhere. So how he could be a member of a secret cabal that meets at Night, I don’t know.
I know this because I spent the entire night watching through toe curtains, hoping to catch him in - well, let’s just say “interesting activities” shall we? But I saw nothing.
So, if Storyteller is a member of the secret cabal of the Crimson Thorns, he didn’t go and meet with them last Night. Or maybe Storyteller is lying in order to get lynched?
I could tell you the same thing about Special Ed, if the Crimson Thorn hadn’t murdered him. Did I see them? No, not me.
Cucuy.
If you do not know what happens in the case of a failed investigation, don’t assume one way or the other. PM Mahaloth and ask him. That way we know how to evaluate the current situation.
If Mahaloth refuses to answer - well, that’s information too.
I’m not sure I follow your logic Mhaye. Just because you followed storyteller and he didn’t do anything doesn’t mean he isn’t scum. Tracker/Watcher roles almost always only see active powers, not simply posting on a scum message board. So knowing he did nothing last Night just means that he wasn’t chosen to kill.
Y’all don’t even know, because you think I’m lying or something, but from my perspective this game has gotten very strange.
Let’s see. cucuy, NAF, MHaye, all claiming investigative roles (three investigative roles! In an 18 person game!). Plus a Doctor, who apparently is not even paranoid and is able to self-protect. Plus an optional one-shot Vigilante. Plus whatever the hell other tricks NAF can do.
Of course, I know which among those claimants are Scum and which are not. But even among the ones that are not: I think you’ll find your third-party in there. Good luck with that noise.
I’m not a Tracker; I don’t follow the player and see who they target.
I’m not a Watcher; I don’t see which players (if any) interact with my subject. Special Ed was cruelly murdered Night 1, right under my eyeballs, and I never saw a thing. If I had seen his killer, I could now finger a CT for you. But I can’t.
All I see - the only thing - is whether my subject leaves their home at Night.
Wow MHaye, you have the worlds worst variation on the Watcher role ever.
ISTM that would mean that you would be told whether or not someone used a power on that night, wouldn’t most ‘powers’ involve leaving their house to do something to someone else?
I could just be misunderstanding the roll. OTOH, if we are still talking about this supernatural stuff as some of the color has suggested (Night 1 involved a pentagram, I’ll have to look at the N2 color), then that might make sense as a supernatural power could conceivable be used without leaving one’s house (casting a spell), but so far, other then color, no one has claimed anything remotely like that.
Story, I still don’t get your angle. Even if you are scum and you very well may be lynched tonight, due in no small part to your claim, why are you acting pro-town?
What post did that happen in? I’m trying to find it and I’m not seeing it.
Wow, claims galore.
On Storyteller: in Undying War town was warned about a terrorist who would blow up when lynched. He ended up voting a confirmed mason and town happily lynched him for it. He blew up the mason and myself :(. So yeah, let’s be careful here.
MHaye: since you advice cucuy to ask it, you got confirmation from the moderator that you would ‘see’ someone leave for a secret Crimson Thorn meeting?
NAF1138: I think I want full disclosure from you:
-Why didn’t you track a claimed role Night Two? That seems much more useful than using ‘a passive power’? I can speculate that a typical inventor only has one-shot powers and that the passive power was some sort of self-protect. But especially the latter I want clarified because it could be a reason for the no-kill, thus relevant in evaluating the other claims of stopping the kill.
For the record: your ‘no point in lynching me, I’ll stop it anyway’ and ‘I shot Story Today, so I can’t do something verifiable Tomorrow’ rubs me the wrong way. Absolutely no clue why it failed, like some other roles claimed with a failure chance?
Mahaloth: How important is the color in this game? Is it just fluff or does it contain clues?
Specifically the ‘we’re planning something big’ comment is it a hint/warning at a scum power or just fluff for dramatic effect?
NETA: that should read ‘so NAF can’t do something verifiable Night Three and have to explain it Tomorrow’
Well I suppose there isn’t much point in holding back more. I self protected last Night. I exposed myself as a potentially very dangerous power role and I didn’t expect to get a doc protection. Only one of my powers is a one shot, and that’s the lynch stop power, but most of them do have a limit on them. That’s right, I have another Day kill left.
I never said that there was no point in lynching me, I actually suggested testing my claim that way. I shot story, I would post the PM by Maha has specifically told me that I am not allowed to. I can do something verifiable tomorrow, just not toNight. If you want to try to lynch me toMorrow to verify my claim go for it. Hell if you want me to stop anyone’s lynch toMorrow let me know and I will stop it.
Ask me any other questions you like, and I will answer as best I can.
