At this point I think we have no way of knowing if Inf's telling the truth or is pulling off a very elaborate deception. I'm not going to volunteer to test his lynchbomb threat, since I think at this point either we a) learn he was telling the truth and lose two town (presumably) or b) get lucky and find out he was lying and putting himself out there in a very suicidal fashion. I wouldn't be shocked that if Inf really is scum he actually has some sort of lynchbomb, as it would explain why as scum he's trying so hard to keep himself in the headlines. I'm not sure whether that sort of thing is "fair" in this sort of mafia, though - does it seem like it would be too unbalanced for town to give scum that kind of signoff?

Either way, I'm comitted to killing a lurker rather than Inf since at this stage the risk far outweighs the reward, and nobody else has given any particular reason to be suspected. There's plenty of time, though, so I'm holding off voting to give everyone time to post.

I don't know yet if Mills' intentions are bad but iajanus showing up to pretty much paraphrase my lurker opinion after all that makes me nervous

OK, going back through the thread, I may be misreading this but you and mills did a quick "vote Bif" "hi Mills" and then nothing, then I said I'd be Ok with lynching a lurker like Hiip or Fisk (all on page 4), then you came out on the next page and said that you'd be fine with lynching Hiip rather than Mills or Tith. ( I can go back to get the quotes if you want but I'm in a bit of a rush).

Are you intentionally misremembering the order of the conversation or should I be getting suspicious? Sorry if I'm mistaken.

I still don't think there's anything suspicious about your exchange but your latest comment is a bit more intriguing.

I had to go back and look cause I thought you just hadn't read our latest posts but you're right, you'd already mentioned it on page 4. I forgot about it in the ensuing tsunami of Inf posts and Mills acting like I was the only one who was suss for it.

No worries, it's been a nightmare trying to get my head around Inf's purported PR and the usual D1 noise. I'm tempted to have a nap at lunch to see if that helps :v:

Bifauxnen posted:

also, my suggestion of Hiip was not taken from checking who had the literal lowest postcounts or meant to back up your suggestion, but from my personal experience of knowing that even if he does post a lot, half of those posts may just be "ey yo its ya boy"

I remember that from a couple of previous games, which was why I was happy to namedrop him when I saw he was down the bottom of the count. I figured it might kick him into gear, at least (and hopefully with something meaningful).

Mills posted:

Bold is mine for emphasis. I would seriously ask everyone who is town to think about whether they would explain the situation this way. I can't see myself throwing the word presumably on the end when my setup assumptions are that 1. Inf is town (based on what he just wrote), 2. I am town. It's an over-wrought, over-worded explanation from someone over-thinking an attempt to post "content".

Wow, you go to sleep for an hour and when you come back there's a shitload of posts and you're the new target de jure. Wonderful.

I would seriously ask anyone who's played with me before if this is my normal posting style. Yes, I'm idiotically verbose, but that's just me. I used the word "presumably" because I'm guessing scum wouldn't be dumb enough to be caught in the potential blast of Inf's explosion, but they might try to push the vote carefully anyway to get rid of a couple of extra town.

tithin posted:

I dislike this.

Early game lurker kills favor scum disproportionately.

They're lazy and almost always pushed to save a scum

The conclusion is wrong, although you're right with regard to the fact that there's higher odds of hitting town (purely because there are more of them out there). It makes no sense for all of the scum to be talkative early, and it makes a lot of sense to try and sneak through at least one member of the team without them saying anything incriminating. I'd be very surprised if one of the scum isn't hiding at the bottom of the list somewhere - hell, if it's anything like the last few games I've played when we get to read the scumdoc there'll be one person completely silent with everyone else screaming at them to show up and contribute.

In that case I say it is survival of the fittest.

I am suspicious of Mills, now, since he's come out of nowhere to push a claim on me which Ahab jumped to agree with, then tried to make it keep rolling by implying to everyone that it's almost lynch time, again with Ahab following closely behind. When he was told that there was still a full day of time to go, he just sailed on by and kept just pushing the case on me, with no details and no acknowledgment of the fact that his lie/mistake was called out.

I actually agree with this

Anyone willing to sacrifice town

Where did I say I want to sacrifice town? I said that given your lynchbomb threat it's very unlikely that scum would be dumb enough to risk putting themselves in the blast radius, and later that I'd be happier to vote a lurker since I'm not getting a good read on anyone and believe that there's a decent chance that one of the lurkers is scum, based on prior experience with scum having one or more people talking heaps, letting someone sneak through without drawing attention to themselves (and misdirecting as necessary). As such, I think there's a decent chance of catching one scum hiding in the bottom group, with the negative result being someone who isn't posting anyway. Given no more attractive options that's where I'm voting for now.

I note that Mills completely ignored my point about him and Ahab having a double team act of first focusing the attention on me, and then pretending hammertime was near to try to keep up the attack. Whilst it could be an accident, I'm marking it as suspicious since he never tried to explain or correct himself.

This was 45 minutes before "hammer time (minus one day)". All of the original mills posts about me came within 1.25 hours of the purported time, which seems to me to be a pretty big push to get a quick vote on me. When the real time was pointed out mills disappeared for a while except to just tell taste to vote for me (shortly after being told about the time).

Sure. After another night with 2 hours of sleep I'm nowhere near the right headspace to try to argue properly and I don't really care since it's D1. Feel free to vote me out, although it isn't great for town if you do.

I'm Megatron, 3P deposed leader of the Decepticons. My entire raison d'etre is to hunt down and kill Starscream as retaliation for being ousted. Each night I get to name a target, and if it's him I shoot him and win the game. If it's not, nothing happens. I assume Starscream is scum.

Regarding iajanus, don't forget that Megatron becomes Galvatron and then murders Starscream, so there may be more to his role he's not telling us or he doesn't know.
If there is, there's literally nothing in my role PM that hints at it. It literally says that my win condition is to either kill Starscream at night or hammer him, and that my power is that I get to look at one person per night who gets shot if they're him (but I don't get any other information).

Yeah; paraphrasing the PM each night I can check out a player; if they are Starscream I shoot them. I then get my 3P win condition which (as I've mentioned) says that if I kill him or hammer him then I win. No other ways to win, like surviving :(.

From all the info I have it's basically WIN THE GAME or nothing at all. Although in this case I got that the action failed, so I'm not 100% sure if that's just what it's called when I miss Starscream or someone interfered with me. I guess I'll learn if that's the standard response as time goes on.
