And a tooth for a tooth,
And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.

I can see your point but it's important to remember that auspol are a bunch of (non-lawyer) babies and if bif hadn't exorcised mith the weird posting could have seen her get lynched.

It's possible you were already thinking of this but still.

I didn't bold the be, Mith did in her original post.

I quoted that post because she is continuing to frame it soley around scum using the power to make town suss on her and ignoring the opposite the bird were talking about.

What if scum exist only as possessions from the mod? And lynching them just makes them possess someone else? What if the only way to killbscum is to exorcise? What does that camera do?

Is this a pure fantasy cooked up from your Pokemon-addled brain, or do you know more about these ghosts than you're letting on?

Personally I find the idea ludicrous. If exorcism was the only way to permanently end a ghost, instead of merely freeing someone from its power, they would hardly wish to make their influence so blindingly obvious.

Yeah this is doing my head in; I wouldn't put it past evil ghosts to have some sort of masquerade where they take over the audience and jump from one to another, although I'll admit to thinking it might be a little hard to win if we lost poeple with the ability to exorcise them. That would seem a bit unbalanced.

It didn't say I wasn't allowed to mention being possessed. I did mention being haunted, which is the closest thing I could say using gorram google translator. It said it would last all day unless something interrupted it.

I already said why it's dumb. There'd be too much of a risk for scum to target one of their own, on day 1. It'd bring about too much suspicion on the target. In targeting a town, the scum a) get to figure out if there's someone who can exorcise, and b) immediately put the spotlight on someone who isn't them.

I'm pro whip in the future, but I think on D1 it gives the evil ghosts an unfair advantage since the good guys might still be getting themselves into the game and getting organised. In the next few days, it could definitely be an option.

I'm not sure it is possession, Mith was posting entirely normally sans for the fact it was in another language. If the posts were saying stuff different like they were being forced to that would be something but instead what we have is a meaningless roleplay.

Though that does ask questions as to why there is a power to exorcise a roleplay. This is why I was asking it Mith had more info because the little information we've been given doesn't make much sense.

all the PM told me was that I was possessed, had to use google translate to post in that language, and that it would continue til the end of the day unless interrupted.

like it was definitely a possession, designed to draw out exactly this kind of speculation about me

if it weren't a possession, wouldn't bif's exorcism action fail?

I disagree. On D1 the scum can chat to each other out of thread to make sure they're all aware enough to avoid the whip, whilst there's definitely a chance some straggling town that might not have noticed the game has started. From D2 onwards they become more of a liability, but on D1 the whip seems only to benefit the only ghosts/people who are in a position to prod each other to keep above the line.

From the second time the exorcism line was used drawing a reaction from Anidav I'd agree with this logic.

I can't say yet if Mith would do such a gambit to fool us, but I'm beginning to think the ghosts must have some way to affect either themselves or their allies. If they could only affect the innocent, it would be child's play for us to confirm who was truly possessed.

So if not her, another ghost could definitely attempt it in the future.

Very true.

I'm not saying it's impossible for a scumbro possession to happen (not being scum, I have no idea) just that (IMO) it'd be a really stupid thing to do on day 1
