I'm this close to modkilling you.

Woah, squidy. Lay off the wine for a bit.All that said and yet my instinctual reaction is that I want to cut Haly open and see if there's a smaller Haly inside of him like some sort of Matryoshka doll, which is a sure sign of russianness.
It sure must be nice, isn't it Haly?
I would've never thought about revealing anything to you guys if you hadn't suddenly piled up on me during the last day.
You tracked him N2, but he still died. I agree with Enker here. 3 killing parties is a bit much. I think you really are just a serial killer and this is a cover. Not one that was needed at this junction, but a cover nonetheless.Second night I decided to track him, so I could hopefully present useful information that would exonerate me.
PHRASING
FIRST
BOOM
I won't lie, first night I went with my gut and tried to kill roy. That failed, obviously. I still have the gun though, so I'm pretty sure I got blocked.
Second night I decided to track him, so I could hopefully present useful information that would exonerate me.And throw someone else under the bus if necessary, I'll admit that.
Allow me to demonstrate by abandoning reason and following my gut.
VOTE:roytheone
My conviction that roy is mafia is stronger than ever, although I must admit I haven't read any of his posts since my accusation. Unless he's presented convincing evidence to the contrary they wouldn't change much anyway.
I'll follow my gut feeling this game.
(Still don't get the claim. You should've weathered the storm.)
Eh, I don't think there was much incentive for anyone to back off before I threatened to reveal my hand. Maybe if I had completely stopped posting after that I *could* have gotten away, but that would've been a fairly poor play by town. That said, Palmer has since the first day expressed his desire to get rid of me. He would've pushed on, no doubt about that, same as cabbeh, who demanded I reveal all.
Completely ignoring everything? Posting as little and as reasonably (without pissing anyone off) as possible? Not hyping Day 3? Eh, where's the fun in that? I much prefer players like Palmer, even if I don't think too much of his case against me (though he is otherwise a really good player), or cabbeh, rather than guys that just sit around, waiting for their opportunity.
I'd still rather live another day and be of use to you guys, but no one lives forever.
Oh, you...
You are suspect if you want me to believe that that is the only reasonable action in a game with 20 players, many of whom are quiet, have spotty activity, strange behavior, almost entirely impossible to verify roleclaims, etc. Why is the most suspicious person NOT the one who claims bulletproof?Are you daft? Can you read between the lines? I am suggesting something. I'm suggesting the only reasonable action right now is to lynch El Topo given his role reveal.
Hunting scum? Some idiot put our backs against the wall? He is neutral. It is very clear he is neutral. We might even have some mutual interests. And if he's not lying about his gadgets, then we have the opportunity to get real information on people WHEN WE HAVE ALREADY LOST THREE POWER ROLES IN TWO CYCLES.You're guilty of exactly what you're accusing me of, as well. I'm negative because I'm hunting scum and some idiot put our backs against the wall. Maybe you don't realize what he did, maybe you have different priorities(?).
I'm just getting started.Don't come too hot out of the fucking gates buddy or you might let something slip.
Topo has "mascara", which implies seduction, which implies roleblock. I concede that it could be one of those fancy mascara gadgets and does something else. I will not force Topo to reveal what it does. He should continue to use the discretion he has been using (except for killing people).Also, Topo did not say he had roleblock, he said he believed he was blocked on N1
Thanks! I want you to know that I am so Team YesNo, it hurts. :')Welcome kittycat Kristofer!!!
I like you and your spunk!!! Picking at people on your first foray~ So guts. Very courage!
<3
I'm not even close to done with you.You too, Kristoff.
Only the most gullible among us would think that a one shot gun power on a neutral role would be "too much of an advantage". Not to mention, he is not town, so he can use that against town players... such as the fact that he was going to kill roy.That was my reasoning as well. And also why I don't believe you're not a one shot killer like you say you are. Otherwise town would have too much an advantage. Serial Killer though? I'll take that. The one shot was just a cover so we don't lynch you instantly.
Volunteer for the mission. Shoot EzekelRAGE. Then, for the next couple of nights, use your gadgets at your discrepancy. Or talk about it with us. We'll cross that bridge tomorrow. And the results of this wonderful little experiment will determine precisely what we're going to do about you... or Mr. Bulletproof.Well, I'm willing to do whatever you guys want me to do, Kris. Having revealed everything, I have no choice but to follow your orders.
Sure. Looking town and being town are separate things. Look at her votes. She can say and do things that look town (and she does; look at her last post, which I was just reading and even considering changing my vote for just now), but look at her voting record: last-minute changes to pile onto the players who got eliminated on both days, piling up with the other players I suspect: squidyj and Darryl (and GLT).Before I forget,
Vote: Septimus Prime
I really like to think that YNNY is town as evidenced by her quality of posts and being very pro-town. Like the new guy said, voting for her seems fishy. Septimus Prime is the only one that voted for her.
I'd like to put the heat on SP for now so that he can elaborate on his vote for YNNY and his reasoning. Also, Haly does have a point against SP.
Again, I just want to hear more from SP.
So why not vote for Darryl? We already saw that he was saved--twice--and both times it was a bad move.So... on that ! I'm reading that Burbeting has consistently picked on Palmer (and GLT - Darryl's predecessor) on his suss-radar. Some posts of interests:
#649... doesnt really tell much, it was early days, tbh
#834 ... reads on peeps
#1267... tenuous link of palmer's suggestion and ER as a target for N1
#1494 ... finally a firm fingerpointin' goodness
Dunno if all that backreading means anything. Palmer is still in my OK book for now but that was an interesting thing that came out of rereading Burbeting past posts...

Why did she vote for Visualante2 or Zubz? No real reasoning, either. "They seem scum."
Thanks, pal. You're actually alright in my book, so I take back the "you're suspicious" comment.Okay, fine.

Agreed. QuantumBro seems like he's a busy person, but he still makes me uncomfortable. I also don't like MikeHawk's (non)contributions.Having said that, I really don't like the numbers of silent coasters in our game. Where is possum? Kris is also a replacement and they usually brought loads of energeeee
I am suspicious of Mazre as well, but have nothing more than that. I have been thinking of how to use missions the best, however. The benefit of the mission system is that it isolates a known quantity of agents. We should be cycling in our most suspicious characters every night. This won't work well while there are three (or more?) KGB about, but once it gets down to two, we might potentially prevent a murder during the night time (no one would want to murder while on a mission except neutrals). And when we finally get a kill-less night, we will be able to look at four people and say with slightly more certainty that these are prime suspects.We should be using the missions inventive ways. I'm suspicious of Mazre's prioritizing volunteering every day, and also of Palmer's wanting to get on for the third day in a row.
Could you explain this sentiment more? I might have misread some prior posts.Roy's role reveal also casts doubt onto Ezekel's role, which many of us readily believed (or at least readily figured into our possibilities) on D2. Including me.
Oh, shoot! I counted cooljeanius as well as myself. Apologies.One addition: there are 19 of us left, Kristoffer. Not 20. (giant FUD machine? : P) So decisive action is much more critical today.
Are you saying you'll pressure someone with a vote, with me? Welcome aboard!(whew, GAF is back for me)
Kristoffer, I like your moxie and your plan to have El Topo shoot our good friend Ezekel tonight.
We are getting nowhere with the Archer/Honeypot saga, and I am inclined to think worst case is like those poor Islanders where El Topo fulfills his win condition and disappears.
I may be able to assist you with this endeavor by lynching whomever the last person to volunteer is should they not get the hint and open the spot beforehand.
That's a good question. Why not Darryl?So why not vote for Darryl? We already saw that he was saved--twice--and both times it was a bad move.
Can you clarify: did you mean the people in the priority group outside of the initial 4? Or did you mean the other mission volunteers below you?
Are you saying you'll pressure someone with a vote, with me? Welcome aboard!

This is nonsense because if I was El Topo and a SK, I could just not use my ability that night, therefore confirming nothing. Good job! Great plan there. I don't see how you can actually distinguish between:Put El Topo on the mission. Put EzekelRAGE on the mission. Have El Topo shoot EzekelRAGE on the mission. If the latter is dead, we will know he was lying. If the former is dead, we will know his killer to the accuracy of three people out of twenty. If neither is dead, then either both are lying or both are telling the truth.
Title = Ordinary Bumblebutt
Ezekel said that, on the first night, he got a PM to alert him that an attempt was made to kill him, which failed. If this is true, he could know if El Topo also makes an attempt on him.This is nonsense because if I was El Topo and a SK, I could just not use my ability that night, therefore confirming nothing. Good job! Great plan there. I don't see how you can actually distinguish between:
1) A night kill by Topo on ER that fails
2) A no kill by Topo
Unless you're role claiming psychic?
The caveat is that he could also always just lie about it.
Losing two agency in one night is worrying-- that's four we've lost total in half as many days. There are only 19 of us left. I was right about the Krieger clone(s?) as well, not that that was a particular stretch.
We should be using the missions inventive ways. I'm suspicious of Mazre's prioritizing volunteering every day, and also of Palmer's wanting to get on for the third day in a row. You say you fear for your safety. But your reputation as an excellent player precedes you. Why wouldn't the KGB have tried to kill you sooner? Because you've always been on a mission, and dying on one essentially gives the agency a one in three shot of getting KGB?
Roy's role reveal also casts doubt onto Ezekel's role, which many of us readily believed (or at least readily figured into our possibilities) on D2. Including me.
Okay, fine.

So why not vote for Darryl? We already saw that he was saved--twice--and both times it was a bad move.
So let's repeat the same mistake a third night in a row? That reads distinctly anti-town to me, no matter how you veil it with posts.
4 dead town is actually perfectly normal for the start of day 3. Spoiler there will probably be another 2-3 dead town by the start of day4 (assuming multiple night kills again). Just the nature of the game.
Holster your weapon, Geronimo. If Mazre unvolunteers and cabbeh unvolunteers, there will be no need.Indeed, it sounds like fun. And that makes vote v1:
VOTE: Palmer_v1
I crack myself up
...Well, I suppose you are not going to unvolunteer, then. If you can elaborate your thinking on this matter I would appreciate it.Have to say so far I'm against the plan to send El Topo for the purpose of shooting ER.
I actually misread your post and thought you were accusing The Mole of not having a killing role at all. Apologies.Perhaps I should clarify. I think he is (unlimited) Serial Killer because we have two (confirmed) Doctors and one (uncomfirmed) semi-bulletproof, on top of the Mission mechanic. That's a lot of defensive measures for Town to have. So either Mafia is also overpowered or... there is another neutral role that can kill. Repeatedly. Because, you know, we had two Doctors. Also roy is dead, and he says he "tracked" roy, which is, from my perspective, probably a lie.
I'm actually not sure what you were talking about there.
I'm much more concerned about Ezekel's bulletproof claim than I am about El Topo's one-shot. The reason is that claiming bulletproof offers nothing for town, but it gives the claimant some ethos and it also gives him an excuse for not being night-killed. Meanwhile, Topo's claim gives town an inkling of hope, and when so many power roles have already been extinguished you would have to be incredibly myopic to let such an opportunity slip. More information is better than less, so I see great utility in those gadgets.This is nonsense because if I was El Topo and a SK, I could just not use my ability that night, therefore confirming nothing. Good job! Great plan there. I don't see how you can actually distinguish between:

No problem!To be honest, I'm not opposed to this. I like Darryl tho. He's a smart player and he makes pretty awesome contributions. But if the Agency needs to lynch Mr. SwearWords to ascertain something, I'm on board........... though if you are proven wrong, I am likely to bite your head off in the next day cuz at least Darryl seems handsome, unlike some of the timid wallflowers we've got on board atm >____>
There are SO many players that are content of just surfing quietly in the back and I dread to see what the thread would look like with even less active participants. Not jabbing at anyone in particular, but deadweights are deadweights >:C
I'm looking at YOU QuantumBro, Hobohodo, and NOTAwesomePossum >:O
Then there's people like Mazre who has the zeal to keep his volunteering seat on the beginning of every day and makes the squeakiest, most cleanest surf line into the next day without giving much valuable contributions.
At least Enker and Mike sort of tries :xNO CHILDREN TRYING DOESNT CUT IT. THIS IS AMERICA. #OnlyWinnersAreRealAmericans
And hey, thanks for unvolunteering! You're a good sport, Septi! :>
Hmm, yes. If he can kill more than once, though, he might also kill some KGB for us doing the same thing.This is indeed the best reason to lynch El Topo today, because you don't want him going around killing town looking for his robot. It'd be different if he was Vigilante (and this might've been the superior claim), but he isn't.

If he can only kill once, and he already exhausted that ability, his other abilities might actually be beneficial to us, assuming he actually shares with us what those abilities are and what their results are.I'm not opposed to getting rid of El Topo nor do I put a lot of credence into his claim but I think your supposition of him having unlimited kills is just muddying the waters at this point. SKs generally *HAVE* to kill every night and it seems unlikely he would be in search of a single target if there was no penalty to him killing incorrectly. It could be either/or but I doubt it's both.

For this to make sense, though, we'd need to know his win condition. If it really is for one particular player die, and he really can't directly kill this player anymore, he should have little reason not to help us out.
He must've known it would put the spotlight on him though. And he volunteered for the mission on top of it. I mean yes, potentially dangerous, but who would employ such a gambit on Day 2, with no prior pressure, and then stay by it? The early days are not opportune times for gambits, Blargonaut's antics notwithstanding.I'm much more concerned about Ezekel's bulletproof claim than I am about El Topo's one-shot. The reason is that claiming bulletproof offers nothing for town, but it gives the claimant some ethos and it also gives him an excuse for not being night-killed.
It would be a long shot. Like, really really long. Not that it'll hurt (except it'll put whoever we take off the volunteer list at risk), but I'm not feeling as confident as you are.However, if Ezekel were to die, that would satisfy my number one concern of "is he really bulletproof?".
I guess if you look at it that way, it's not bad. Certainly more productive than maintaining the status quo.We have more to gain than we do to lose, and we don't even have to lynch for it.
I'd rather go for the suspicious folks first otherwise we're just letting them slip past the net, but I'm not opposed to making the inactives talk more. At least Mikehawk replied today but Possum has been more inactive than the player he replaced.Can we just, you know, lynch a quiet player today? Like MikeHawk?
Right, I forgot SKs are usually compelled to kill. Big oversight on my part. If he is one shot though, then I still feel that leaves us at a huge advantage over Mafia... if we didn't somehow piss it all away by Day 3.I'm not opposed to getting rid of El Topo nor do I put a lot of credence into his claim but I think your supposition of him having unlimited kills is just muddying the waters at this point. SKs generally *HAVE* to kill every night and it seems unlikely he would be in search of a single target if there was no penalty to him killing incorrectly.

I forgot to mention this as well. The only way this plan doesn't work is if they both lie about what happened. If their lies concur, then we keep Ezekel on the milk runs and we use Topo's other gadgets... which, if he was lying to use, will lead us down the wrong path and we'll just end up lynching him anyway. Consistently misleading people to great and disastrous effect is actually fairly difficult. If their lies do not concur, then we will have the wonderful opportunity to lynch one of them tomorrow.Ezekel said that, on the first night, he got a PM to alert him that an attempt was made to kill him, which failed. If this is true, he could know if El Topo also makes an attempt on him.
The caveat is that he could also always just lie about it.
No way.
Surely, the amazing master planner Kristoffer would've accounted for the fact that either side could lie about anything, especially if it implicates the other party, because they'll be able to wrangle another day out of it.
There must be another layer to his scheme that we're not capable of grasping.
You've got to be kidding me.This is indeed the best reason to lynch El Topo today, because you don't want him going around killing town looking for his robot. It'd be different if he was Vigilante (and this might've been the superior claim), but he isn't.
