Hello ugliness men! Mr. Horrible can't come to the phone right now. He is busy sponging off his brain. Please leave a number and he will return your call at the first opportunity.

While this probably isn't that important...Mr. Horrible, I've learnt this. Mr. Horrible's chair has been stolen, by ugliness men, he wants to burn down the playhouse, and is sponging off his brain.

Yeah.

Is this horrible? This is horrible... I keep scrubbing my brain, and it only makes me more confused!

Unvote: Marzi
Vote: Entropy

End the madness, give me back my thinking chair!

So now he's trying to look like a jester. I'm voting him just because all the wine is poison.

Vote: Entropy

by **KrazyNerd** » Mon Jun 29, 2009 1:56 am UTC

Hold on, maybe we can fix this.

Find: Mr. Horrible's chair

by **Brooklynxman** » Mon Jun 29, 2009 2:02 am UTC

I dont care if you are a jester, we cannot let another nar-incident happen (no offense nar, and yes it was awesome, but no it cannot happen again).

Vote: Entropy

For those who are gonna say but nar was a jester in futuramafia: yes, but for the last few days people were afraid to lynch him because they knew nothing about him. They confessed that if he was scum or even cult that he couldnt be lynched because no one knew anything about him. Actually......

Unvote

One shot daycop: AWAY

Daycop: Entropy

Because this wine needs to be cleared. One way or the other we need to find out if Entropy is a jester or a scum.

Also, these are best used on D1 anyway, convo starters (and we won a perfect game as town once when I used it correctly in irc).

by **Entropy** » Mon Jun 29, 2009 2:08 am UTC

I is not jester! The ugliness men are controlling how I vote! I just need my chair back so my brain will work right again.

by **dedalus** » Mon Jun 29, 2009 2:14 am UTC

I'll wait until getting word back from the rolecop before voting... What on Earth is Entropy playing at? Lynching him might clear up the WIFOM, but it seems that someone else is doing something to him behind our backs.

by **Not A Raptor** » Mon Jun 29, 2009 2:42 am UTC

It's quite ridiculous...

Or he's just tossing in TMBG references to make us think his voice is not his own, so clearly we cannot lynch the Entropy in front of us.

It's too late. I called the police and testified.

Well that's part of the WIFOM. And this is filled with it. Don't get me wrong; he's currently looking like a very good D1 lynch candidate (though with the lack of serious, on-game banter that's occurred any bandwagons right now will draw us into D2 with probably very little information whatsoever), but in my experience scum don't really like drawing attention to themselves like this, so I think that regardless of alignment there's some game mechanics going on behind our backs. As such, I'd prefer to see if we can work them out rather then simply lynching the man.

Search ship for: Mr.Horrible's chair

Lets see if that works. Oh and also:

unvote

There's enough stuff going on here that my vote doesn't need to be sitting around, especially as it was somewhat intended to provide discussion. I've still got my eye on NaR, but I'm prepared to see more text from him before I make a decision as to scum or town.

by **Entropy** » Mon Jun 29, 2009 3:53 am UTC

Even if you find the chair, the person who took it will keep moving it. They cannot be reasoned with. They have to die. :evil:

by **Brooklynxman** » Mon Jun 29, 2009 4:01 am UTC

dedalus I'd have to disagree: after nar's using it successfully as essentially a shield from being lynched in futuramafia (and as far as I could tell it was ENTIRELY of his own free will) I would think it would embolden scum. And then in SMCM dedalus and entropy and moody all were mostly shielded from being attacked by the town for a long time (of course eventually anti-town took out the first 2 and the last one ended up anti-town).

I would think it would have emboldened scum. Especially because of my earlier stated argument about why nar COULDN'T be lynched in the endgame of futuramafia (or well, when they reached lylo, and then dragged it out for days)

Entropy, can you come out of this madness enough to tell us what your win condition is?

@Brook: Not sure which one you meant by the last, but all 3 of us actually started off pro-town. And ummm... NaR was a jester in futuramafia; he was trying to get lynched, it just ended up working against him. Your arguments are a bit off, but I get what you mean - owing to the recent spree of people with posting or voting controls, scum can blend in easily by claiming the same.

The thing is that we can't just assume people who claim posting restrictions or not to be acting of their own free will to be scum simply because scum can claim to have it. I mean, someone could be given a lot of powers and then handed a posting restriction to kind of even the playing field; I have a feeling that's what part of our posting restrictions were made for in SMCM. Anyway, with the independent result I'd be much more inclined now to leave him and see if he stops being as crazy a voter, and hopefully we can figure him out come day 2.

Right now then I'm turning suspicion back to NaR, Rakysh and now Brook. Brook is for two reasons, his bandwagoning on Entropy (which had 'wtf man' as a reason...), and then the latest post, where he's implying that NaR used the craziness as a shield for mafia when he actually tried to use it as a means to get lynched which failed. It's not much, but that's all I have right now.

by **dedalus** » Mon Jun 29, 2009 6:45 am UTC

Oh, and I'm less suspicious of Brook because of the posted daycop, but still holding a lingering suspicion. Then again, name a game where I haven't gotten pings from Brook...

by **Entropy** » Mon Jun 29, 2009 6:54 am UTC

I keep telling you my win condition! The one who keeps moving my chair must die. After that I can stop sponging off my brain and become a helpful (and powerful) member of this shipwrecked crew.

by **dedalus** » Mon Jun 29, 2009 7:01 am UTC

I don't think you stated it explicitly before, so at least now we understand.

So how do we find out who stole your chair? That seems to be the most pressing matter here.

I don't know

It could be one of the ugliness men, or it could just be some random person.
I guess we find out by lynching, the same way we find scum.
Since I made the chair an issue, look for people lying low?

by **dedalus** » Mon Jun 29, 2009 8:41 am UTC

Entropy wrote:Since I made the chair an issue, look for people lying low?

Clearly, the people sitting on the floor are aligned with Entropy.
Actually, maybe someone stole the chair to aid a lynching, what with no low hanging tree branches on the ship.

Yeah, I've still got no idea who to vote for.

Right now, you are still making completely no sense whatsoever. So you win if we find your chair? But why would we, townies, want a third party win? And why are you telling us all this, giving you a high probability of getting lynched?

Why lynch a man in search of a chair? Unless... you have the chair? *glare*

Woah, hang on. Town can still win alongside independents. And considering the fact that many independents have powers that could be beneficial to the town (not to mention a vote that can swing either way), it's a very good idea to be working mutually. I hardly see how him telling us all of this is making us lynch him really...

I'm honestly not sure whether that statement is newbish or actually scummy... FoS: Knightshire. IGMEOY (I've got my eye on you).

It's my first game, I didn't expect that my words be taken so literally. I was trying to lurk for a while so to not getting unnecessarily lynched, but some guy started talking about lynching the lurkers. This morning, I was very confused by all the new posts and therefore wanted some clarification.

My impression is that he thought the game was zero-sum, so that statement looks more noobish than scummy to me. *shrug*

by **Princess Marzipan** » Mon Jun 29, 2009 11:49 am UTC

Gyarg; I really think daycopping Entropy was a waste. Especially if all we got was "Independent." Because jesters are independent too, and wasn't that fear part of why we became reluctant to lynch him?

But I don't think he's a jester, if for no other reason than that what he's told us of his role is kind of hilarious and also makes sense, as much as anything involving TMBG CAN make sense. (VioLIN, lin, lin...)

I'm not sure whether Entropy's demon is scum or independent. I'm leaning toward scum, because I can't imagine a particularly winnable goal for an independent in this situation. Get Entropy lynched somehow? That's going to have a lot more to do with how Entropy plays than what the demon can do to him. I think that if we find out who keeps moving his chair, and lynch them, we not only get Entropy to stop acting batshit insane, we get him working for us, too. Entropy, can you confirm whether or not your alignment actually changes?

Brook, can you clarify what you knew about the power of your daycop, and how much information it would reveal?

by **Kitsune** » Mon Jun 29, 2009 11:55 am UTC

I'm going to Vote: Entropy because we now have assurance he's indep, and may have some dangerous agenda. Even if he's not overly dangerous, as we could find out if we lynch, then the town's just as well off with him gone.

by **Dark Loink** » Mon Jun 29, 2009 12:36 pm UTC

Would the people who stole a chair be independent? This...augh.
So, entropy is claiming a lyncher, and claiming powers after we lynch the...chair...stealer..
you think the lynchee could still be town, however? I'm, at least from past experience, not used to lynchees only being lynchess.
But, this game could be different, I just want your thoughts.
