Come now. A Cult role has no place in a M&P game and that's that. This whole confusion is purely a result of your lack of literary knowledge. Every man should know his Lovecraft.

Thyrllan proposes that Fener could be scum silencing themselves in order to look innocent.

If this is the case there doesn't even need to be a silence, it could just be an excuse that scum can use to not have to talk up when it is convenient for them.

half the point of the role is this exact wifom it creates...

I have no idea what lovecraft is. off to google.

i reckon im off to bed before the shit storm hits from that last comment

[D'riss]

So he came up with the Necronomicon. Interesting. I always wondered where the mythology behind that came from.

Blasphemy.
I'm dead tired, football's over - and there's not much going on at the moment.
Off to bed, see you all soon.

I can't believe D'riss said that....

On a fantasy forum....

IN THE MODERN AGE...


Education, thou fickle beast, hast thou no shame!!! To allow the forlorn brains of tender .... oh. Ahem.

[Tulas Shorn]

what the hell is going on? why is fener only posting in pictures? what is silenced? what is up with thyrllan in his reference to himself in his posts?

d'riss you are acting the idiot. if it wasn't for all the other seemingly deliberate chaos i would vote you out just to eliminate the confusion you seem to want to spread.

i've got to go. kara thanks for joining the party. i got what i was looking for when i voted for you so

remove vote

this game is shaping up to NOT be a m&p game that my grandparents used to play.

[Fener]

[Telas]

since day 1 is all about trying to pick out potential signaling and scummy behavior, here is my current theory:

Tulas Shorn, on 17 August 2011 - 02:49 PM, said:

I'm sure this inn is way more scary than anything that I've watched lately. I just saw Resident Evil:Extinction, the TBS version, not scary at all. Somewhat entertaining but for a supposed horror flick a big disapointment. That movie had tentacles though. The stretchy kind.

I would like volunteers to stand in front and behind me at all times please.

here, i am most interested in the request for people to stand in front and behind him at all times (a call for the healer perhaps). the reason why may be given in this next post...

Osseric, on 17 August 2011 - 03:09 PM, said:

as he watches on, he feels someone's eyes following his every post, his shield laying close by he shuffles along the bench towards it, taking the strap of its holster he feels somewhat rather more relaxed. He leans back against the wall giving him maximum visibility across the room, he has his eyes on some patrons and the quite luscious bar lady. Tapping his fingers across the bench, thinking many thoughts, he setttles himself to wait a little longer.

Tulas Shorn, on 17 August 2011 - 04:02 PM, said:

Looks like Osseric has the right idea. Leave as little skin exposed with a weapon close at hand. Monster thingy will look for easier targets. As I'm currently weaponless I scan the room looking for something to arm myself with while also looking for a good defensive position.

TS's post firstly links with oseeric, saying he has the right idea. however, TS also makes a comment about being weaponless (needing defense?) which makes me think he has a role and needs protection

Tulas Shorn, on 17 August 2011 - 04:47 PM, said:

I see an ornate hat hook (people still use these things) sitting dusty by the door. Brass dragons as the hooks caught my eye. Hopefully that is a good sign as I snagged it as an inpromptu spear as this place has given me the willies since I first stepped in the door. The menance sensation has racheted up since I crossed the threshold and I'm instantly on the defensive. I am considering going back out in the rain but I spot a corner booth. That looks like a safe place to wait out the storm, I thought, as I head over there.

interesting reference to brass dragons. why TS conjures up this complex image seems unclear, unless you consider the weapon to be a metaphor for an alt with an avatar of a brass dragon (resembling osseric perhaps?)

hey hey..checking in.

vote karatallid

for checking in but really being checked out. i was wanting to vote for someone that hadn't posted at all but that turns out to be fener and i know where that usually leads.

I was going to point this out too. I found it weird that Anthras jumped on D'riss for agreeing with him and accused me of "skimping" less than an hour after my first post when we have players like Karatallid who have only made one post early on, some who hadn't even posted yet (Barghast, Fener (who still hasn't posted)), and then Korlat whose only post so far was a vote with little explanation.

Korlat, on 17 August 2011 - 03:47 PM, said:

So you are voting Osseric because he looks like he is symping you?

Ill bite

Vote Osseric

So I find Korlat and Karatallid semi-suspicious. It's possible Fener just hasn't got a chance to play yet; happens a lot on day one. About Osseric:

Anthras, on 17 August 2011 - 11:45 AM, said:

Osseric, on 17 August 2011 - 11:34 AM, said:

Am I brave or just not a hundred pennies to the pound?

This is what i've been waiting for.

Osseric you sound excited about this.
Either you're deranged, or an M.
Or...

I am about the game but not about the "Inn of Death", it sounds like a Demon Inn, something to do with Galain...

This is the post where it looks like he's symping Galain. At first glance I thought this was pretty harmless, only a few people had posted at the time, and he's not actually defending Galain or really even commenting on his posts. In fact the post is kinda odd, what is Osseric even saying here? Seems like a joke about the setup, but why put Galain's name out there at all? I can definitely see this as signaling, which I'm sure is what drew the votes out.

Not sure what to make of everything right now but I'll be around.

and finally, I agree with Kara that again I see signaling here in this post, this time between osseric and anthras. I am very suspicious of people posting with "..." and letting someone else, maybe their team mate, fill in the blank. moreover, i haven't really seen any rebuttal from osseric or anthras for this particular accusation.

so i think there is definitely a link between osseric and TS (they are not voting for each other for one, and it is very interesting that a couple vote clusters, such as one for osseric, haven't started a lynch train) and very possibly a link between osseric and anthras

i want to hear what anthras was indicating with the initial "M" in that later quote, and why osseric brought up Galain after talking about the seemingly unrelated topic of the Inn's name.

Vote Osseric, for suspicious associations and his potential to be a night killer.

[Thyrllan]

LET THERE BE LIGHT!!!!!!!!


The glory unending that is Thyrllan makes the brilliant point that if Telas is right in his suppositions regarding Tulas Shorn, then it seems more like he is highlighting in big bright quotable letters - brighter almost than Thyrllan himself - to scum that TS has a role and would like protection.

But at this moment, Thyrllan applauds Telas' efforts at case-making, and notes that the brass dragon/Osseric connection sounds mighty interesting.

Thyrllan's omniscience tells him that one of Anthras or Galain is evil, human-sacrificing, cult-killer-scum.

Thyrllan would like to see Galain shrivelled to a crisp. Hated, hated non-light that is Galain.

Vote Galain


YOU MAY CEASE BEING AWED BY THE WONDROUS LIGHT OF THYRLLAN FOR THE NEXT FEW MOMENTS.

[Kalse]

Meat and potatoes?

Standard roles to me would not suggest an uncle ben type role. Sure, it isn't anything new, but it's not been used often, and comes up what, once in every ten, fifteen games maybe?

However, if the role isn't in the game, it would be very stupid for someone to pretend that it was.

[Kalse]

Also, RP spam is irritating, and gives scum places to hide signalling.

Thyrllan cares not for Kalse's lowly, mud-encrusted opinions, and suggests Kalse might come to enjoy it too if they started referring to themselves in the third person, and might find it difficult to stop.


That is all.

Karatallid, on 17 August 2011 - 08:36 PM, said:

Sigh...When did voting for your boss ever become a sign of potential signalling anyways?

Around when people kept doing it.

It's certainly not uncommon.

However, it is usually pointless trying to catch it (either as town or scum), so the signalling is usually a certain kind of vote.

Kinds of vote that are dodgy:

1. Voting someone before they are online. Pretty obvious.
2. Voting with very forced reasoning. This can be a symp signalling or a master wanting to get a vote down to avoid the main trains later. Obviously a bit subjective.
3. Voting jokingly while the game is getting serious (TS can I feel be accused of this). Joke votes aren't in the innos interests. The problem is that innos still tend to do it fairly often(though it seems to be in decline) on day one, in the early joking phase, so it's only really if they do it after that when it is dodgy (since normally too many people are doing it, which gives the scum an easy place to hide a signal, and can't really help the innos until later when looking at patterns).
4. Voting for no reason, or just to vote. Similar reasons to 2.
