Why did we rule out Emurlahn? That's another one I forget about.


Probably because I was quite active day one, yet i've had time restraints since then and not had much time to help town.

I would say that we tried to lynch Eloth 3 times, I vigged him, Batman must have went for him at least at some point and if he (Eloth) was that strong then that must mean that the other CL's are that strong also.

Someone else said it was because you vigged somebody. Fuck if I remember.

Feel free to check me out. Just don't kill me.



?? That's pretty selfish play, lol. I mean, sure, it's what EVERYONE is saying, but at least have the generosity to be resigned to taking one for the team, OR tell us why not to kill you. >.<


Fine. Just check me out then? But, the specific mechanic would kill the player... thus the comment.



So what you're saying is: Don't check me out.


Why?


Well, I don't want to die. But, if you want to, then do so? Self-preservation serves a goal if it is good for your faction.



So your faction is not served by us finding Batman? I know from your perspective that *you* know (or are claiming to know, at least) your alignment and whether you're the Bat or not, but then...so do I. That gives us - the rest of the thread, united against the Bat - NOTHING. I at least am prepared to take one for my team, and by extension every other team, too, if that is what best serves the hunt for Batman. But you, apparently, are only willing to have people look into you if it doesn't result in your death. Now, either, your death ends your faction (so you're a CL), or you have no faction, because you're Batman. How hard is it to make a claim of some kind that lets the rest of us know why we shouldn't try to find out more about you tonight?


Because at this stage, you're just crying not to be killed, for poor reasons.

He used a gun to shoot Eloth. Ergo, not Batman.


Also, we're apparently L-1. Not sure I'm 100% comfortable with that position.

I'm around, but I'm quite busy. Should I hammer before heading home? Has Korv even been on recently to talk? I'm currently on page 46, but I don't know how much more I'll manage to read in the next hour or so before I leave.

He hasn't shown up, no. Plenty of anon's reading, however. And it won't be a hammer any more. You can just leave your vote when you go home if you do so before I go to work, and I'll hammer when I do that.

That's stupidly strawmanned. This is that same old "my interest" bullshit again.

You can assume your faction isn't mine if you want to.

One would hope that if you were in a power role you'd be showing up every so often. Maybe his time zone doesn't fit with ours.

After a fashion, yes. Except there now seems to be an ACTUAL distinction between what is in YOUR interests and what is in ALMOST EVERY OTHER PLAYER'S INTERESTS. Do you see why that could be interpreted as something sinister, here? Your death may hurt your faction, but would it not be better to reveal a bit of info to avoid that, and HELP your faction by narrowing the search for Batman?

Moreover, would it not still be better for you to die by pseudo-find attempts tonight than to make everyone waste ANOTHER day lynching you? Or avoid both those situations by talking about WHY we shouldn't be doing those things? You keep saying to find on you without killing you, but did it occur that we may not have that capability?

Does it not strike you as odd that you want everyone else (all the cults, town) to do all this work for you?

Doesn't it seem odd that you're so focused on self-perservation, when your team can still win without you? Assuming you're not Batman, or indeed, a CL?

The problems just stack up, D'riss. Call it that same old "my interest" bull if you want, but hey, look at me, I'm getting 'investigated'/killed because of my playstyle. You think that isn't old by now? Considering the argument is basically that everyone forgot about me? Funny, then, that it only is a concern that we're retreading old ground (even if I disagree on that point), when it is YOU whose life is on the line.

FYI, i've left Lizra some notes on resolution, with the actions I have in so far.

things are prone to changing however, and the day times out at 4 AM my time.

I will be up about 3 h after timeout, so you may need to wait that long, if Lizra decideds to wait on me to resolve.

I'm not seeing what this is. I'm NOT focused on self-preservation. I'm merely saying find me without fucking killing me. That is prudence. Inviting investigation with care is not the same as inviting it without care. Quit comparing the two as equals.

You seem to be selectively ignoring the part where I point out TOWN DOESN'T SEEM TO HAVE THAT ABILITY.


So why are you not taking the only other alternatives as OK? You've neither said anything to help alleviate the need for investigation, nor have you proven willing to take one for the broader team. WHY?



You're not giving me answers, just dismissing what I'm saying.



I tell you what, D'riss, if your life is all that is important here, and you won't help us otherwise...are you willing to take the chance that my vig is stopped tonight? Because I can easily place it on you with no regrets at this point. Is that what it will take to get you to co-operate with the thread?

What the actual fuck? You assholes put me at L-1 without giving me a chance to defend myself?

I keep telling you, I can only post from work. That means that I have a very limited posting window. This post alone has taken me about an hour to type, in between dealing with customers. I try to make posts with actual content when I do, and put my opinions out on thread. Guess I should just be low posting like Liosan without attempting to put myself out there. Or maybe I should have upped my post count on day one like D'riss, and posted irrelevant comments on irrelevant quotes.

My justification for pushing for a CL lynch early in the game was that it would give us more time to hunt for Batman. That is actually IN the posts quoted in the case, conveniently not bolded and apparently overlooked. In addition, those are all from day one, and I was definitely not the only person with that opinion on day one.

For those of you still pushing my supposed 'slip', all I can say is that I didn't read the OP properly in my eagerness to start the game. I stupidly tried to cover it up, and failed miserably. I have a role, so I didn't get the town PM. Not going to tell you what it is, because firstly I think we are putting far too much information out on thread for Batman and the CLs to read, and secondly because I think with all the info out on thread it has made it very easy for those who are not roled to fake-reveal. All I'll tell you is that I have a few limited actions and I have not used any of them yet.

If you have any more questions I'm happy to answer them, I'll be around in and out until time out.

And then we made you not L-1 out of courtesy! :p


Hrm, generally speaking, yes, low-posting prolongs life. It's a sad fact of the game, really. Though D'riss is an obstinate bastard, that's not all he did, to be fair. Mostly, but not all. Everyone with a high post count will have a generous helping of spam/useless posts in that number, however.

Your claim to have a role, and therefore justify your 'slip', is quite interesting, however. So you do now admit it was a fuck-up on your part, not just some lame joke? Fair enough, the game has progressed, but this is still back-tracking and is just a *tad* iffy. Still, interesting. Not really a reveal, though, just a claim. And an easy one to make. You survive lynching, "Oh, one of my powers was an LP." You survive a vig, "Oh, I had a BP too, didn't I tell you?"

Still, those powers would read more like a CL than Batman, so it's not like we need another one of those outed on thread. :p



I don't really have many questions, except: Who's your alternative?

I keep thinking of Amp as town for some reason and that he can find me, despite him probably being the Joker.

Blah.

You van vig me if you want. Have fun.
