no, but we can methodically deduce you're, in-character, a total loon

The only potentially useful parts of that PM are Ulfric/Tulius (lynchers?) and the mention of a cult game (cult fire and ice? what?)

Yeah, because I didn't understand what the gently caress my character... is? But then I got another dream(an additional PM) , and I guess what it is useful for is knowing how many scum are alive and dead.

So previously out of defense I had mentioned having dreams. And being an Oracle. Last nights were a lot longer and more detailed. They seemed important. I know nothing about the mythos/lore of Skyrim and stuff so here you all go. (Mod has said I'm allowed to quote certain parts directly.)

"Dragons were released from hidden Aldmeri weapons stores."
"We have credible evidence at hidden Aldmeri WMD capabilities."
"WMD = Warehouses of Many Dragons"
"Watch Ulfric start a loving war."
"Don't let the Elven Agenda take your love for Talos!"
"Dragon attacks are a false flag operation."
"General Tulius does it with hagravens."
"Also, this is totally a cult game, y'all. Mehrunes Dagon rising, yo!"

Ok, potentially loony thought. The general discussion thread's been talking about dead players interacting with living players and I've seen the Oracle role being mentioned in relation to that. There's 8 statements here. Yesterday we had 8 dead players. Could these be messages from the people who died before D4?

Unless they're conspiring in a specdoc (plausible?) I think the theming is too cohesive (and funny, god drat).

Man I was pretty bummed when Opopanax flipped town, but those dreams made everything better. :3:


So it looks like there's only one nightkill now, and town still has an absolute majority. I don't know what Elder Scrools vampires are like (Ecco feel free to chime in!) but I'd guess the vampires are turning people while the werewolves are just mauling, especially since Jorn (EccoRaven's flavor) doesn't have anything to do with vampires in particular, while Skjor (AnonymousNarcotics' flavor) is a straight-up werewolf.

So it seems likely that the cult recruiter is still alive. Four nights plus a recruiter means five cultists if every night was successful. Four scum alive plus two scum dead, minus five cultists means only one starting mafia though, so we know they failed on at least one night (probably both scumteams targeted the same person on Night 2).

Worst case scenario, we go from 5 town 2 werewolf 2 vampire, to 2 town 2 werewolf 3 vampire. I don't think there's any way for town to win from there, and if there's a massclaim I think it's basically a kingmaker situation, with the surviving townies deciding which team wins the vote. Best case, we execute a werewolf and the cult recruiter dies trying to suck off the last surviving werewolf, who kills another vampire, for 5 town 1 werewolf 1 vampire. Basically we're in probably-mylo, and we can't even count on claims to confirm town anymore.

there is only one hell:
the one we live in now


The White-Gold Concordat ended the Great War between the Empire and the Aldmeri Dominion, whose principal political party is the Thalmor. The terms of the treaty involved, among other things, ceding large portions of Hammerfell to the Dominion, and outlawing the worship of Talos, who is particularly revered in the province of Skyrim. However, the treaty was written in a very ambiguous way. Emperor Titus Mede II, who signed the treaty with the Thalmor, thought it was called the Blue-Black Concordat. His chief advisor, Alendrian, insisted it was the White-Gold Concordat. The Emperor's son and heir also said it was White-Gold, but the Empress insisted it was Blue-Black. The signing of the treaty itself almost became a battle in the War, were it not for Alendrian cleverly including an asterisk next to the title.

Imperial apologists to this day insist it is the Blue-Black Concordat, while the Thalmor ruthlessly persecute anyone who doesn't call it White-Gold.

Well I was going to say "dunno, with there being a cult people having been town in the past is no guarantee of them being town now," but Glockenapfel's "who cares if we're in mylo let's just keep doing what we've been doing (which hasn't resulted in a single scum death)" seems pretty reckless for a townie to say!

I think it's a safe bet that Good Sir isn't lying. My honeyboo thinks that he might be being coached by a smart scumteam but with all due respect to everyone, at best there's only two people left who would possibly go for that move. Maybe Chic but I only know she's got some experience, I don't know her scum game. And well, I know it's not me :v:

Yeah I had Good Sir on my town list. I just don't know what to make of him now and I wish he'd show up an offer a more holistic description of his dream.

The thought just struck me as well that he might be receiving dreams from the scum team. According to him he got 2 PMs last night. One might have been interference?

Tattling? Are you 12? It's simply unusual for a mod to allow PM quoting, so I asked about it. By allowing it, and then telling me that because he wasn't mod killed, Good Sir was most likely telling the truth, the mod has basically confirmed Good Sir.
