I claimed this D1.

Also, don't you guys think the balance is so unfair? We only started getting rid of most of scum faction today!

I agree, this balance is sooo unfair! We should have won ages ago, the way we're playing.

(Let's see what happens!)

by **ameretrifle** » Sun Jul 31, 2011 8:35 am UTC

I was thinking lurkers but maybe if I'd remembered weiyaoli...

by **dotproduct** » Sun Jul 31, 2011 8:41 am UTC

At this point I'd be against a mass-claim today.

Any reason why?

by **dotproduct** » Sun Jul 31, 2011 9:21 am UTC

There's already an obvious scum and, from the flavor, I don't think we have any town NKs.

Yeah, but maybe they need a certain number of people to claim it...

2+2=4

This game needs to end already, it's so unfair.

Here goes:

The balance here really sucks! We should have had more investigative roles.

(And, is anyone going to vote amt?)

This balance sucks! Half of the players were lurkers, and not enough incentive was given to scum (like cake). Scum right now is 7:1 so it would take 3 more days before scum has any chance of winning and that's too long nobody wants to wait that long especially a large game that has 1 month long days. Lurkers aren't penalized at all so I couldn't just wait for time vultures to eat them.

Seeing as everyone else is doing it...

I agree! The balance is completely skewed in scum's favour! I mean, they killed homestar! That's just cruel.

Maybe I'm completely blind, but could someone point me to where AMT gave up? I'm not seeing it.

by **weiyaoli** » Tue Aug 02, 2011 11:40 am UTC

Is it just me, or did tlc just admit he was scum there?

by **Chandani** » Tue Aug 02, 2011 3:22 pm UTC

AMT heavily implied that she killed cellery because he was lurking.
TLC seems to be using the numbers provided by GOP about balance, which was the guess that there is one scum left. He seems to be putting himself in the scum's shoes way too well...

Oh, and since the kill on Cellery didn't seem very townie, maybe I should vote for AMT. And AMT does want to die...

Vote: AMT

by **ameretrifle** » Wed Aug 03, 2011 2:30 am UTC

It was one-shot, I assumed it was a daykill, I submitted it before he actually decided to show back up yesterday, I expected it was too late to change, then it turned out to actually be a nightkill and I was too annoyed to bother even trying to change it like I should've. So tired of this.

Also, I must very regretfully admit that I am town and looking at this "uh let's lynch the player who gave up, who but scum would admit to killing homestar??" wagon with considerable suspicion. I mean, jesus christ, come on.

by **Chandani** » Wed Aug 03, 2011 3:48 am UTC

Huh. AMT doesn't want to die, and has a decent explanation for what she said.
If you go in with the idea that AMT was tired of the game and admitted killing Homestar in order to get it over with, then everything makes sense. This is what I was thinking. Otherwise, I wouldn't vote for her. Then again, that would be playing against your faction, which is bad and most people consider it gamebreaking or something.

And I was a bit bored.
Unvote

Cults don't have kils, right? Or did we rule out the possibility of cults in the first place? Reason being, I can't figure out how the whale is Evil Forces of Blue Laser. Any suggestions on that?

Scummer: Chapter 20
A Deleteheads fanfic by D Loink

The Gray Prophet Stood. "For the deed has been carried out," he proclaimed, "The deaths have occurred as I had guessed. The town felt amazed at how the town was still functioning, as if a deep slumber had been lifted from them. This could be felt amongst everyone, most of all the suave Gray Prophet. He lifted his robes as he walked in front of the townspeople, " My duty has been carried. The Mighty, the Kings, The Blue, the Starmy-all have felt the pain that was given.

...

I have felt it worst of all."

The prophet looked down at his soonds, "I no longer am needed. This world, and all the terrible things in it, are no longer relevant to me.
I am transent.
The outcome, my friends, shall be chosen by the 7."

The figure, in a flash, suddenly collapsed.

The Guide was dead.

The game, as it had been started, would soon be ending.

Weiyaoli was Strong Sad, Independent.

7 living players, 4 to lynch.

We don't know either, I think The Blue Laser is just an umbrella group for non-On Point Kings so there are two factions.

by **Gopher of Pern** » Thu Aug 04, 2011 10:10 am UTC

Congrats Weiyaoli. Not that it was that hard to convince us.

At the moment I am leaning towards tlc for lynching. Really just gut reaction though. Since no-one seems to like my mass claim idea.

I guess Gooch is in some kind of stasis? No posting, nothing from the mods. Maybe we should just lynch them, since the mods aren't doing anything? Though I have no idea whether coach would be town, indy or another scum?

Really gut reaction only? Are you sure? Is it really your guts telling you?
Can you analyze me more carefully? You might have missed something very very important. Or is wine spilled on the floor drained too much that nobody notices when a keg of spoiled wine flooded the game?

by **dotproduct** » Thu Aug 04, 2011 4:44 pm UTC

Since GoP didn't get a response:

Mods: What's happening with goochlifta? He hasn't signed on in over 50 days.

@goochlifta

You would need to explain this post to get us to analyze more carefully.

by **ameretrifle** » Thu Aug 04, 2011 9:51 pm UTC

I was okay with the massclaim idea.

Also, obviously the lurker-killing thing was a good idea. I just picked the wrong lurker. >_>

Vote tastelikecoke

Either really bold Jester play, or scum bored with the game.

by **tastelikecoke** » Sun Aug 07, 2011 6:43 am UTC

so do you guys want to party or are we just too busy to play?

by **Gopher of Pern** » Sun Aug 07, 2011 6:53 am UTC

PPPPAAAARRRRTTTTAAAAYYYY!!!!

Modkill everyone except myself and tlc. Let's see who wins!

by **John Citizen** » Sun Aug 07, 2011 11:06 am UTC

I don't want this game to die, but nobody else seems to be bothering to post (I admit, I'm guilty of it too).

In order to make something actually happen:

Unofficial vote: GoP

My reasoning is that this statement, used to justify a vote, is an incredibly minimal explanation which I don't even get. Tastelikecoke was pretty much asking to be analysed, in order to speed up the game. This says nothing (at least to me) about TLC's alignment.

My vote is unofficial as I can only vote once per day. I may unvote, but I'm not allowed to revote. I realise that it's rather late to claim this, but it hasn't been necessary until now.

by **Gopher of Pern** » Sun Aug 07, 2011 12:20 pm UTC

Codswallop!

If they were town, they would provide some analysis of their own, instead of putting forth that crap. It was also because I am bored, and wanted to vote someone.

The mods seem to be ignoring alot about this game, as they have ignored my questions, but let weiyaoli win.

Actually: I just noticed something:

My duty has been carried. The Mighty, the Kings, The Blue, the Starmy-all have felt the pain that was given.

Looks like there's actually 4 factions, plus indys.

That would mean at least 2 non-starmy factions left. On point kings are gone (pretty sure they only had 3.) Blue Laser likely has the minion left. The Mighty haven't been revealed until now.

Well, the only other kill last night was claimed by ameretrifle...maybe they are mighty? Care to claim?

by **ahippo** » Mon Aug 08, 2011 12:53 am UTC

Aight. It be deadline time. 48 cycles of 60 minutes from this post. If less than three votes on any one player don't exist the kill will be random. And if goochlifta (this has been a long time coming) doesn't post in that time he gets arrowed.

by **ameretrifle** » Mon Aug 08, 2011 1:54 am UTC

Bubs. Homestarmy. Have a concession stand. One invention per day. Don't get to choose what it is. Still waiting for today's. Not horribly surprised.

D1: Chizuko, Japanese listener robot. Sent it to Fang due to newbieness. Fang was masons with someone. Couldn't tell who. Addressed them as "ficus" at one point. Was also contacted by slbub. slbub contacted me the next day. I wasn't much help. Sent something about robots to Homestar.

D2: Got a poncho. Had eggs on it. Hid under it just before nightfall. Immune to actions till D3.

D3: Wait wtf happened with D3. I don't even remember anymore. Did we skip a day somewhere?

Day whatever yesterday was: Got a leg that i could shoot someone with. All know how this went.

Not really sure what else to say.

by **Gopher of Pern** » Mon Aug 08, 2011 2:12 am UTC

John Citizen - Unknown
Dotproduct - Unknown
tastelikecoke - Unknown

Likely Roles:
Marzipan
Homsar

Poopsmith (?)

Well, Bub's is a believable claim, though we've already had onion bubs. I can't find anything obvious that the 'Mighty' might refer too, but it could be Trogdor.

I just realised that my mass claim idea would be a bad one for a certain town member: the Cheat Commando. If my guess about the win condition for BL is correct, they only have one more to go. But if we lynch BL today, they should be ok.

ameretrifle, what did slbub contact you about?

by **ameretrifle** » Mon Aug 08, 2011 4:28 am UTC

He had a role/alignmentcop and could pick someone during the day to PM with. It was mostly strategy/who's scummy talk. I could've been more useful.

by **Adacore** » Mon Aug 08, 2011 6:10 am UTC

It's my birthday today! So I thought I'd take this opportunity to point out that this game has now been going for three days longer than Princess Bride Mafia to become the longest running XKCD mafia game ever! Well done guys! You're all invited to my party!!

by **dotproduct** » Mon Aug 08, 2011 7:38 am UTC

Can we get the player list updated?

ahippo wrote:If less than three votes on any one player don't exist ...

Can you clarify this?
The best interpretation I can come up with is "if there are at least 5 votes on someone".
If that is somehow correct, how would a deadline lynch work without a majority?

I support lynching tastelikecoke, with amt in second.

1. amt provided an explanation for her first 3 posts D5, even though I don't quite buy it
2. tastelikecoke seemed to somehow know many scum were left
3. laughter from tastelikecoke; ???
4. tastelikecoke's response to GoP seemed awfully sarcastic
5. even if it wasn't, it didn't actually address tlc's main suspicious post
6. tastelikecoke's next post completely ignored GoP

(I can't vote; I claimed this on page 10)

Unofficial Votals (including unofficial votes):

tastelikecoke (1) - Gopher of Pern
Gopher of Pern (1) - John Citizen

deadline in approximately 41 hours

by **ameretrifle** » Mon Aug 08, 2011 8:12 am UTC

I assume it's "if no one has more than three votes" but I have no textual basis for that interpretation.

and no shiny.

by **dotproduct** » Mon Aug 08, 2011 8:17 am UTC

It's more: that interpretation would require there being a typo.

(I suspect you're right, though.)

by **Gopher of Pern** » Mon Aug 08, 2011 9:10 am UTC

dotproduct, do you have an explanation for why you can't vote?
