I would like to experiment with 10 posts per day to avoid. If you think the bar is too high or too low let me know. The whip is a relatively new concept for Auspol games.

I'm happy with that, 24 hour days, should be more than reasonable.

What bothers me a lot more though, is him coming forward to claim he was immune to possession. If he's scum that gives him a great excuse for never being targeted by possession powers. (I presume they can't all be as benign as just giving you PR's) if he's town, it could discourage scum from wasting their powers on him.

Best argument so far. ##vote gwyn

how do you think wmb knew to post about "typing backwards" before that PR had even appeared in the game.

yes exactly, seems a little too convenient. Slips, then pretends to have been slapped with PR -- knowing that the exorcist can't use the power again today.

Right now my in-laws are coming over (should provide more material for my next album about my inner torment) so I can't post too much today.

One thing that is definitely pinging me is bowmore's sudden increase in participation compared to last game... is playing as scum more interesting bowmore?

Even if you have some kind of annoying PR forcing you to accuse Bowmore in literally every post you write, you could try and work around it creatively. :v:

(Venom?) Soag can't confirm himself as town, but he can confirm he did the day action on you, that we all saw him post in the thread.

Everything is fine. Just pay attention to what I'm saying, regarding Bowmore.

OK, the Lid flip is good enough data for me. Sorry for trying to lynch you 2 days in a row, Mith!

b_t and Tirade, are you back to normal yet?

I was always normal. Whatever makes you think something possessed me? And who on earth would do such a thing, which is surely an anti-town play, similar to day one when I was carelessly silenced and withheld from performing my one power of voting. Who, I ask you?!? Surely my gothic music is not that bad. My parents and weirdly young girlfriend are into it.

These flips not including an alignment is weirding me out and Anidav seems determined not to confirm any alignment. No NKs have been successful. Is having a ghost power 100% confirming scum? I feel like the balance is off in a game where you don't get any confirmed information (except tomls alignment).

I think it was fairly explicit that Lid was a ghost, the flip called him a "Fallen Climber".

Anidav posted:

AS AN INNOCENT BABY, THOSE ON MY LEFT IS AN INNOCENT BABY AND IS THEREFORE CONFIRMED TOWN.

This is the only time the word town appears. At no point has the word scum appeared, and fallen might be a reference to the fact he is dead.

A harrowing moon suddenly rises; the midnight glare tells you it seeks no compromises.
The makeshift mob, reads from the holy tome a way to send the accused spirit home.
Blood is splashed on the photographer’s face, human bones rattling around him, the ritual keeps pace.
But as the candles run dim, and the room turns red, this makeshift mob sent a human instead.
For what was meant to be a spirit meeting its final fate, a mistake has been made but now it’s too late.
A demonic hand crashes through from under the floor, reaches up and claims its due.
The ritual failed, there was no ghostly mole; they had summoned a demon which then claimed a soul.

It is now Night 1, Night actions to me, thread unlocks 11am tomorrow.

quote:
Alternative Press Photographer: Each night you may take a photograph, allow for a day for the photograph to develop and you will get a message of who or what is in the photograph. For example, you might want to take a photograph of Anidav, you would tell the moderator to take a photograph of Anidav tonight. The next night your photo develops and it can tell you who else is in the photograph; including ghosts.

WMB's flip also had a name which is different to the posted names at the beginning of the game.

The ghostbuster's expression was filled with glee, because who caught a ghost, nobody but he.
As the lightning passed through Lid transparently, he activated his ghost trap and sucked in the spirit that was free.

Note: this does not confirm the ghostbuster as town and the character is merely being used for storytelling purposes.



Yes, here is the only other time and Anidav is noting that this does not confirm as town... kinda supporting my earlier point about there being no confirmations.

Bif, you're not being very nice.

The point was made that Fallen climber was different to Mountain climber, thus indicating the flip was that of scum.

I'm noting that WMBs flips is Alternative press photographer, not The Photographer, IMO indicating that the above flip confirms nothing.

Looking at Tirade, can't you see how Mith was different?

Tirade's PR seemed to come on mid play which is at odds with the night action style of applying the prs. Given the controversy over Mith's not starting play with the PR, you would think Anidav would perhaps come down hard on it if it was real.

The left makes a tinkling sound, the right a majestic honk. If I squeeze them in time, I can play a stirring rhythm. I take a teat in each hand and stretch them out like elastic. Their music stirs the senses; it warms the heart. Soon they are long enough to wind around my body. I am nude. My skin is taut and creamy. I enshroud myself in my melodic breasts. My legs part, my spine sharply flexes, my vagina bellows; it bellows for you. It is time. I will have your baby.

Types of PR

Talking in tongues - classic ghost theme - town effect: everyone has to translate or someone plays translator. scum effect: excuse not to have to post much or scum hunt in detail potentially look more townie as have been possessed
"Ghost busted" - town effect: doesn't reflect well if used on someone who is being useful to town, if used for 'good' will help ghost buster be perceived as town. scum effect: prevent townies from voting or effectively hunting
In character- town effect: in prev games has been considered obfuscating. In Gwyn's case there is a fair amount that is not easily understood and I personally have a tendency to glaze over it while reading through heaps of posts. scum effect: excuse not to have to post much or scum hunt in detail, potentially look more townie as have been possessed

Maybe there are other types of PR that could be analysed using this method
