how much younger I was the last time I set eyes on any of you

how much more vigorous the blood that coursed through these veins, how much more intellect behind these eyes

the journey has been long and the path wandering but finally I have returned after all this time and with great delight to vote windshipper

And now I see that not only is there no playerlist in this thread's op but windshipper is a 'special guest' what the hell is this poo poo can I ##vote windshipper or not this is important.

Also, all said and done I think Sir Pratchett would rather have the disease take him relatively quickly rather than the alternative. Given the alternative, I expect he'd be happier this way (if not sooner), have a Brandy in his memory.

William the Wizard cast a spell,
A creation of fire and brimstone;
Brightly, a portent of magics from hell,
Orange-Red streaks 'round him cyclone

Beware William's sudden-found power,
The chalked circle drawn on the floor;
Sudden, the wind grows sour,
A whisper that you can't ignore

Coalescing around Will light suddenly grew,
The beat of an unseen drum;
A flag unfurled high, with words tried and true:
We should vote winvirus, he's scum

1. IF YOU COULD HAVE ANY MAGIC POWER, WHICH WOULD IT BE AND WHY?
The power to blast Rock and Roll so pure the world wept and all disease was cured. My strings would shake the very heavens and loud enough to command hell. My voice would feed the hungry. No power is greater than the power of Rock.

2. IF YOU COULD CONSUME AND GAIN THE POWERS OF ANY MAFIA PLAYER, WHO WOULD YOU CHOOSE AND WHY?
Isn't this a competition trying to gain your powers? How is this even a question?

3. YOU MAY ONLY USE YOUR MAGIC POWER SELECTED IN QUESTION 1 FOR *BLEGH* SELFLESS REASON. WHAT DO YOU DO?
The power of Rock is the purest of all: my fingers would play and the world would be healed. Through my music, all would be excellent to each other.

4. WHAT IS THE HIGHEST PRICE YOU WOULD PAY FOR YOUR MAGIC POWER IN #1?
There is no price which must be paid for the power of Rock, it exists in the heart of every man who ever picked up his guitar, looked up to the heavens, and let out a scream of pure fury. It exists in the eyes of every child who hears Mercury or Plant or Morisson for the first time and knows that those words bring the most blessed of gifts. Truly the power of Rock is within us all, and we need only a guitar as our wand and our souls as our picks. Alternatively, $8,000 because I could probably sell my car for that much and just propel myself through space by way of blasting Rock and Roll.

5. YOU DIE AND COME FACE TO FACE WITH EVERY DEMON YOU HAVE EVER ANGERED. WHAT FLAVOR IS YOUR ETERNAL SUFFERING?
Bubblegum.

your "guess" was more like a semi-condescending implicit backing of the named players being confirmed town

i don't think that it's normal for a mod to unpromptedly announce players as confirmed town

i don't think that it's normal for you to have taken that at face value and repeated it as truth


I haven't played in a while but I'm pretty sure that's literally how the 'confirmed town' works, where the townie is confirmed town by the mod. flatluigi's comment that it could also be misleading is also a good point.

This isn't the Plan. Also, who is actually in the Plan D1, and who set it up? I've asked two or three times, no one's answering.

The Plan has four townies volunteer with one eating a hammer and three receiving glory due to their willingness to die for The Cause.

This is sounds like a role-enforced The Plan where its even more risky for scum due to the chance of being copped.

Alternatively, using it to cop/kill lurkers is also acceptable

How and who puts the players' names in is as or even more important than the players themselves. I would be very suspicious of players putting themselves in.

Without going down the same The Plan arguments as ever, I'm just going to say I disagree, especially in this case. I think it is equally likely for scum to suggest other scum as it is town, and similarly at worst a null-tell for volunteers.

If I got a pm telling me the flip of a player right after their death, I would've assumed it was sent to everyone.

Why? Why would you assume everyone in an 93 player game received a PM of the flip if you got a PM after asking a question in-thread and noticing the information wasn't publicly posted?

Khris Kruel posted:

which is more likely?

That he gets a PM and thinks he's special and doesn't try to confirm in thread if anyone else in that window got it, and actually "think the mod was just loving with him"

Or he has outside communication, his scum buddies said they didn't get it, and he knew he was special in receiving a flip pm from the mod

For the record I would say the first option was more likely: I would post the information publicly in-thread to see if anyone collaborated the results rather than trying to fish out who else received messages, and I would not assume other players would have received PMs. If I wasn't sure the truthfulness of the information I'd probably suggest I might be getting hosed with. I wouldn't need outside communication to assume it wasn't public information, because it wasn't information posted in-thread.

You seem to be saying that if you received a PM you would assume it was PMed to everyone, which is silly.

the difference is that he knew that it was people that asked for the role before anyone else mentioned it.

There's a difference between "hey guys I got a cardflip anyone else get one?" and "Hey guys I think only the people who asked for it got it for some unknown reason, gulag can you confirm?"

Upon second review I too think it is weird that he specifically called out the one person out of this list who corroborates his story

Upon third review I reverse this opinion. Gulag was the only other poster to say anything about a flip, and if I had received non-role related information I too would try to guess why, especially when the mod specifically stated that "five minutes were up, nobody else gets information".

I find it much more scummy that Gulag had posted after the flip but did not mention the PM until directly asked by luigi.

My best mafia friend is The Betrayer, who managed to make a reference to the time we were masons back in 2007.

Actually we have no idea what type of investigation it is, only that it showed yuming scum. winvirus claimed 3p says there's enough types of investigations where things are 'hella unreliable' but if anything's unreliable it's winvirus. Between all options, I believe the investigated scum is likely the best option.
