you can actually inflate your scrote pretty safely with sterile saline, syringes, needles, and aseptic technique. its a niche kink iirc

the saline just slowly gets absorbed into your blood but in the meantime you got a big round smooth distended nutsack

lol if it was anywhere close to a deadline or hammer i'd consider this but as it is lol @ u

As I see it, from everyone's arguments, it's hard to tell who is doin' what on D1. So I kinda feel like it would be better odds to target someone with very few posts/no posts, as posting a lot is kinda putting-your-neck-out-there behavior that many non-townies would shy away from... I totally get that voting a lurker has it's disadvantages, so who hasn't posted 5 or more times, but posted once or more, so far? Or, I'd love a counterargument that some of the people who are passionately posting a lot with feasible strategies should be considered more likely to be scum than people just kinda hanging in the wings and posting rarely.

I know I'm hardly one to talk in this game, but this seems kind of scummy from someone who has 16 posts.

Seconding all of this :j: You don't need to directly say "I'm a cop". If you case the person hard enough, town will figure out what you meant after you flip.

MMT reads a bunch of posts, and rather than playing mafia, she would rather echo KB's thoughts about optimal cop play. Scummy.

wish i had some more booze so i could get through this insane amount of casing material

just kidding i would keep just loving around

right now i wish i could justify lynching jimson, if just for personal reasons

but i don't think he fits the bill this time

AR is pinging my scumdar v. v. hard. Top 4 scumpicks: Inf, Tobbs, AR, MMT. I've cooled on Jimson and don't want to lynch him.

My read this game is that you are very carefully picking your targets to reply to, and not putting yourself out there much at all. Not participating a lot in active conversation of the game, but anytime someone brings up Mags, you remind them of the case you made. You defend the hill you've chosen, and you don't really go beyond that. Definitely scummy to me.

I was actually just thinking the same thing. I've been trying to read over people in the middle of the pack and it seems like Taste is trying to egg people on. He said he thinks zimbo, MMT and Infinitum are the scummiest players, but he called out MMT for voting Inf earlier and didn't like how Inf agreed with him about zimbo. It's feels like some odd positions to hold.

I get why everyone was all "AHA WHAT DO YOU MEAN 'US' SCUM" re: Jimson but the sentence doesn't make any sense in that context either. His explanation that he was just tired and typed wrong makes more sense to me than it being some freudian slip.

I won't deny that I'm sticking to my reads. The fact that other stuff has happened since then doesn't change my mind that

- Infi talking about "4/5 factions",
- Infi's reaction to being cased on it, and
- the timing of Mr. F's case on Jimson combined with his lack of follow-through on it

to be the scummiest behavior I've seen so far. Why would I undermine my strongest read by trying to make other cases? I feel strongly that Infinitum and Mr. F are more likely to be scum than everyone else at the moment, and I think that Jimson is town (both based on his reactions to being cased, and based on my thought that the cases on him are bad).

There's a degree of "it's a 33 player game on d1 on a weekend" at play as well, but regardless I don't think the behavior you're assigning to me is alignment-specific.

I'm sorry if I implied that I think you should be making other big cases, that is not what I meant. Just that you should be putting more reads out there. I think I learned more from this post than I have from any of your posts this game.

Real talk.

Today's vote will likely end up being a lurker, unless scum does something extravagantly stupid.
Due to size of the game, we're probably looking at 4-5 different factions.

Somberbrero posted:

setup spec on day 1 is an easy way to pretend like you're actually playing the game. scum.

Somberbrero posted:

also 4-5 different factions???? what do you know that i don't?

I think this is more believable as a slip than Jim's. It's reasonable to assume there's multiple groups because of previous Shine games and the size of this one. But being as specific as Infinitum was here makes it sound like he knows something we don't.

Hey, I've run a mafia game with no nights for 10 years, but I'm def a noob when it comes to this whole specific roles type of game.

Can you please enlighten me: Is there an established role that would know how many factions there are? I just ask because it seems like every power I've seen so far is way too specific to be able to tell the number of factions.

Thanks!

Game's over, and fuck you Jimson. It's not my fault that you guys couldn't get your shit together by deadline. No one gets access to docs because I don't fucking care anymore, I hope you all enjoyed ruining my game, and there won't be another.
So, Mayor Glowku is pinging me kind of weird.

I don't know if anyone else noticed this, but I just re-read the game. Almost at the beginning of the game, he was calling me scum with no real reason behind it and he kept riding me during my "scum Slip". It just seems kind of calculated and coincidental that he keeps finding reasons to call me scum.

With 33 people still alive, it takes 17 votes to lynch.
The current deadline is October 24th, 2016 at 8 p.m. EDT -- that's in about 11 hours, 7 minutes.



Further down the parade route, a speakeasy decided it would be a grand idea to offer everyone a free shot of Shine on the house. For many people, that was the first time they had ever tasted the mysterious drink - or experienced its unpredictable effects.

Months later, people still talk about the clown that gladly took the offered drink, only to dissolve into a cloud of cotton candy-smelling smoke that dissipated into nothingness. He never reappeared.

Right no longer my birthday. 11 hours to go. Lets get dangeresque.

Gonna full claim early, as this is where it was headed anyway, so we have enough time to actually gather 17 votes for a lynch.

:siren: Full claim time :siren:

quote:

I am New Orleans-Aligned Vanilla
I can drink Shine and become a JAILER

I did not want to claim, as I am a town power-role.

My flavour is that I have ice powers and can ##freeze someone during the night, both protecting them and roleblocking them.

Again I am running a pure vanilla game here. No gambits, and being completely truthful in all my statements.
If you don't believe me fine, but please carefully observe any player that goes for the "lol you're just a scum roleblocker" aspect.

My vote for D1 is still very much Zimbomonkey, even after his rebuttal.
