While I'm going back and checking things, Dancer, when you appear next do you mind clarifying this?

Dancer posted:

I mean, look, there was a chance I'd get useful information out of it (i.e. cop). Yes, optimally I would've waited. Particularly if it's a vig maybe, because then the target would've interacted with other people beforehand. I briefly considered holding it back, in case I roll watch/track, and it applies to the previous night,, but then I hashtagyoloswagged.

Something about this post bothers me and I can't put my finger on exactly why yet. Saving this to come back to later.

So you reckon scum are mostly dark and poison types or do you think that Pok�mon's type has nothing to do with scumminess?

Wondering bout Dancer as the most well known metronome users are all normal or fairy type.

This seems like a strange line of inquiry with nothing to go off of that indicates this, much like the trainer discussion earlier.

I mean the only real info we have so far is that Dancer can use metronome so I'm speculating out from that. And hey we got Epsilon basically claiming that they're dark/poison/ghost and town so it lead to something at least.

Also yes ##unvote

Do we have anyone that wants to put forward a case for evolution?

I can only assume that I'd be much more useful evolved than not, as I currently have no ability.

Also I keep pondering about Toalpaz' reason. I guess that if that was truly their first game (and if they survived longer than N1 like me), they might have paid more attention than me to the specific wording in their role PM.

Btw, can confirm I'm not Mew. Not that I know anything about pokemonz, but even I heard somehow somewhere of Mew he's kindof a meme :v:

No reason as far as I can tell, it's just a bird thing. Probably just a not great localisation of some Japanese pun.

# ? Sep 13, 2018 13:12

Apparently it means spiky kiss because it's a friendly bird but also covered in spikes so it tends to stab people while trying to be affectionate.

Taunting scum is a pretty solid play when you're scum. Just sayin'.

(It's also what I'd do as scum.)

hey bminus can you answer my earlier question re: toalpaz?

scummy posts + light alignment. i didn't expect toalpaz to say that the light alignment was a reference to the shadow alignment from the fifth element game. i thought it could be another "town" alignment similar to icephoenix's recent game (prey I think) where there were two "town factions". so i believe toalpaz's explanation but im not gonna unvote because im still getting scummy vibes from their posts.

Toalpaz reads like a newbie trying to make jokes happen rather than letting the comedy naturally pour from your fingers like seasoned mafia expert and possessor of an excellent new avatar imgay.

Now that jokephase is winding down I�ll keep an eye out, though. Last time I let someone skate for joking about their role/alignment during jokephase they turned out to be lurking scum filth that killed me n2.

6. Flavour is flavour, you�re welcome to pursue arguments on it if you want. However, scum are backed by elaborate fakeclaims. Additionally whilst I try to retain flavour justification for many abilities, they will not always match expectations.

Anyways I don't want people to say I'm just spinning my wheels without contributing:

##vote DB

I'm scared of DB cause they were a good scum last time, but those posts you're referring to seem like jokes and very light hearted. I'm not attempting to give DB an out, but I'm not sure what is scummy about them in particular other then voting Imgay for no reason (a lot of people vote early for no reason d1).
