Green Wing: Oct 28, 2013; It's the only word they know, but it's such a big word for a tiny creature

Illusionis posted:

Hals flips says it's the ability to use 2 ethic abilities at once, not 2 personality abilities.

oh wait hold on let me check what I got sent after Hal's death

The ability I received (which to be fair is just based on somebody's personality, not a straight copy) is to perform two actions in a night. So yeah! Two kills on Night 4, potentially! Wild!

Oh yeah I mean I didn't explicitly say "hey I can kill twice on night 4" because like. There is no worse ability for me to have while under suspicion! And yet I have it!

I'm not self-hammering, you have to own this town kill. Or you could swerve to Yami, who I am more and more convinced is scum!

Holy crap... I actually checked Hal's personality ability after you said that and was like "Oh hey, at least GW got an entirely useless ability from her kill if she is actually scum.", so I didn't bring it up. But if it was modified to give her that...

I'm sorry, Green Wing, but I don't feel comfortable leaving this in the hands of someone I strongly suspect is at least 3P, if not scum. ##vote Green Wing

Sanction after sanction and endless resolutions cannot stem the flow of blood. An empire composed of semi-autonomous drones is caught red handed assimilating the citizens of another. Although their motives may have been pure the galactic community must be respected.

Green Wing, Iribot Assimilators (Town-aligned) has been destroyed Day 3.

quote:

Iribot Assimilators (Town-aligned).

You are a rogue catalogue index that has long since assimilated your organic creators into the network.

You win when all threats to Town are eliminated.

Starting Ethics
Gestalt Consciousness: Your empire is controlled by a collective intelligence. All inhabitants of your empire are simply drones of the central hivemind, giving you internal surveillance capabilities that are the envy of authoritarian regimes across the galaxy.

Personality
Driven Assimilators: Your empire is controlled by a machine intelligence and believes assimilation of all intelligent life to be the best path towards galactic harmony.

On even nights, as an action, you may attempt to kill one other player. If successful you will slowly absorb their population, gaining a one shot ability based on their personality.

Another clandestine military intervention has led to the downfall of one of the galaxy�s most prestigious machine intelligences. The central mainframe destroyed on their homeworld and their colonies populated only with deactivated drones, they stand still and lifeless like memorials to their own civilisation�s destruction.

At the end of each night you may choose one player who targeted you. You will receive a one shot ability based on their action.

You had already claimed you were going to do the Bus Drive to HCT, so the odds of you doing the NK were a lot more slim. Spork has mostly flown under the radar, so if anybody was the least likely to be targeted by somebody else's roleblock, I figured it would be them.

Right, that makes sense.

I remember someone questioning me over that exact same logic tho, but I don't remember if it was you or not

Before we get too deep into the day, I was thinking about stuff over night.

Yami:

You think I'm scum. I think you're scum. But if we are both not scum, like more and more of the rest of the crowd seems to be thinking, maybe it would behoove us to put aside yelling at each other - at least this for game day - and instead focusing on one of the other people you and I are both fairly convinced are scum.

I feel like we have crossover when it comes to suspecting b-minus, IA, and Spork; I promise I won't start a slapfight or call you scum and instead focus on those three if you're ok with doing the same?

It was not a flavor argument, it was a mechanics argument. It was incorrect, but dude, there were six people on that vote, most of them before I said anything about it. And you were one of them!

I'd like to repeat my question above. Someone took a significant action last night. I already know what it was. I understand why you wouldn't want to admit to it, but you might also see why it might be a good idea for you to. If you trust me, anyway.

No, but TM was also one of the few people along with me yesterday not interested in yeeting out GW; I'm not unconvinced TM is scum, and if you and I don't spend today yelling at each other I can find the time to go do a proper read, but there is a part of me that can't help but wonder if he's like me and just doesn't agree with you, and that gets your Yami Senses tingling.

Actually, thinking about it, it might be best if we all full claimed. This is probably LYLO.

Yami Fenrir posted:

That was me. I figured since GW flipped town, Yami might be scum and was hoping I'd prevent the nightkill. Looks like I picked the wrong target.

With that much out, might as well fullclaim, for all the good it does. My starting ethics are Fanatic Xenophile and Spiritualist. Flavor text says I'm a theocracy, hence the Great Baby Seal Space Jesus.

My personal action is that I can give my vote to another player and receive +1 loved the next day, or steal somebody's vote and receive +1 hated. The hate is public, as in, votefinder would display a vote on me. In both cases, the player would be aware their vote was given/stolen, but not that I did it.

Basically, I'm a roleblocker/ doublevoter, which makes it kind of hilarious that my first two actions were blocked. I tried to give Maerlyn my vote on N1, since she had used her doublevote to save me and I figured we'd both come under fire the next day. N2 I attempted to jail binus and steal Moritz vote, but was blocked. N3 I successfully blocked Yami.

That's what I meant. Like, you can't go "yes I am convinced by this, *vote*" and the next day come back with "I can't believe HCT did this". We were all pretty drat convinced GW was scum, and it sucks that she wasn't but you thought so too. Don't pin that on me.
