But it only took 6 days. So this person can't count.


Nice. :tongue:

No one gets that benefit. It doesn't matter how many new players are in the game, if we give them that, they won't learn, and other players can masquerade as a newb to get away with stuff. This one is my opinion.



So it comes down to your ability to tell someone masquerading as a newb from someone genuinely making a newb error. Which, IMO, requires more than a single slip-up, and kinda argues for my strategy of not jumping the gun on accusations, no?


But I do see your point. I just think our strategies are somewhat antithetical.

Ladies and Gentlemen,

we got a special broadcast from our special internet live-action reality show:

Quote

My dear (soon to-be) minions, welcome to a new broadcast of Two Face Radio! Ladies and gentlemen, todays topic is personal hygiene. Have you changed your undies today?I am sure you have, but what about your neighbour? Hmmm? You can't tell, you say? He is not your prison bitch, you say? You don't want to go there, you say? It is not my business, you say? Hah, you are absolutely right! Because underpants belong.... wait for it... wait a bit more... yes indeed, UNDER. YOUR. PANTS. However, there is one person in the room who hasn't grasped that particular concept. And for crimes against hygiene, he deserves a quick and thorough tria... oh wait, you're a bunch of criminals. Well, that makes things a lot easier. Let's dispense with the whole concept of justice, shall we? Just toss a coin. Heads, you tell me who he is, tails, you lynch him yourself.

Have a good day!



-Liz


So I was a little confused here at first but this looks like a direct written message from Two-Face. Someone said doesn't look like Ment's writing - I think it's a player's writing. I'm speculating off the deep-end a bit here, but the language in the message is so odd and specific. Heads, tell me who he is...recruit target. Tails, you lynch him yourself...he dies anyway. It just seems odd. Two-Face is stirring the pot. And the second message posted by Liz has no author or signature; could be from any one of the villains, now realizing they can make semi-anonymous posts to the thread.

So, my task to you all is - scour the thread for underpants references and let's see if we can connect anything to Two-Face.

Or, you know, just whatever.

Second message, totally different style. I guess the cults are mirrored, then, and the recruiters can each make an on-thread announcement each day, so we'll probably see two more of these ('cept now they won't just to spite me)

Well these are interesting - it seems that although the recruiters can do a mass message, they aren't required to divulge who they are. This could lead to some very interesting mass messages in the next few days... I wonder if the recruiters are allowed to talk to their recruits off thread. I am assuming no, as PS said that new recruits would be told who recruited them... Why would PS have to tell them that if the recruiter could talk to their recruits off thread....

Lots of interesting back and forth today, but nothing is really standing out more than Korbas' Korv case, but even that, I find, is not a very strong case as Korbas is making some pretty big assumptions. Plus I'm always weary of anyone who outright says they're town.

4 pages already...


Tulas' one and only (pretty much useless as far as content goes) post came only 10 minutes after the PS 2-Face post. Either PS took a while to actually post the broadcast (which is, of course, quite possible) or Tulas sent his broadcast to PS and then posted shortly thereafter. I think it's more likely it took PS a while to post, but I'm going to keep an eye on TS. Hopefully we'll get some useful content from him! :tongue:

Fair enough. When I'm right, I'll laugh. If you are, you'll laugh. That's the fun of it, eh?

The underpants reference is batman. Silly.

Be weary, douche.

I'm not trying to be abrasive or anything, but would you prefer I pretend to be Batman? This isn't a faction game, we don't hide our factions and skirt around it. We're ALL town, until proven otherwise.

Sorry for the harsh reaction... it just bothers me that you pointed that out when I was using it to support my suspicion. I assumed when other townies saw what I saw, they would feel the same way, but evidently I was wrong.

I still see no other viable vote besides random. So my vote stays.

Just had a good read through, could the underpants reference be related to the tights comment?

Galain is a admitting to being a criminal!


You forget that we are all criminals... except batman.

Vote Korvalain.


Anyone that dresses in tights should be labeled a criminal. So ESPECIALLY batman.


First thing that I thought of when reading the broadcast

This would be why the underpants on the outside was referenced:

I figured it was in response to me - all I have to say is that it would be easy to state that you're a townie if you're not, and you're making big assumptions that all townies received the exact same role PM. The OP doesn't say anything about recruiters being able to do anything besides recruiting. I think it's safe to assume that there are more abilities than just the recruit (and the PS broadcasts), but it could be possible that some townies get different abilities if/when they get recruited, thus adding to a faction's powerbase as it grows. I don't know, just speculating on possible roles. I can't wait for day 2-3 when we start seeing just what certain people/roles are capable of.

For now I'm betting Batman is going to be trying to keep a low profile while keeping a moderate post count, so I'm looking at people who haven't really added much to the conversation, but who are participating. Right now, my favourite for BM is Omtose, but that should by no means be taken as an accusation, it's simply a gut feeling based on the quality of his posts.

Why are you so adamant about the thread getting that it was a BM reference? Are you upset that people are misconstruing your 2 Face broadcast?
