This post made me laugh out loud. Must figure out how to add it into a scene.

I want to look at the Cast train, see where, how and why it kicks off. There's a lot of people coming out of the woodworks and jumping on, and why? Low-posting is one, but the expectation of a connection or trying to use the reveal as legitimization is a whole other thing. It was a cheap trick to dump a vote and disappear again.

If Alkend was scum and Cast was his symp coming to his rescue, we would have gotten an inno CF anyway, so why lynch Cast?
If Cast wanted to avoid attention or turn a lynch, all he ahd to do was claim work was difficult, drag up a different case and vote on that.
There was weird judgment there from both Cast, unless he was genuine, and from those jumping onto the train, for not considering the motivation.

That clarifies a whole lot better how I feel about it yesterday's lynch.
Not being around may have spared me the tension of the moment, though.

In other news, tomorrow I will probably do a single one-line post to keep myself from being mod-killed, as I am without access for the weekend, which I will spend on DIY in and around the house. That's going to suck balls for my access, as the computer room is one of the things being overhauled and re-painted.

You are quoting one of your own previous posts as something that better clarifies your feelings? ummm ok.

Skimming much?

I added three bolded, italicized sentences/ sentence parts to the previous text and that is the clarification on the previous text.

[Path-Shaper]

I ADDED THREE BOLDED ITALISIZED SENTENCES!!!

ATM I'm not too enamourrred with the idea of lynching Rash. His play stinks of poor town play, but I'm not getting too many scum vibes from him.

wrt to Alkend: ok, so he calims his role is a "courier" or w/e--so when 2 factions make some kind of connection/"alliance", his continued existance will mean they get off-thread comms--that's how I read that reveal. while I find the value of such role kinda dubious, it's also way too elaborate a reveal to fake, imho. So i'm willing to give him a pass for now.

of the remainder, doing a brief name skim, Tellan pings my radar a bit. His play is verymmuch like that of a guarded and not so out-spoken Rashan. There's sme eagerness to kinda jump anywhere, but without the colourful commentary.

I'd need a re-read to be more certain, but right now that's where i'd be interested in looking.

and with that, I gotta go get some work done.

Nice fingering of Tellan.

[Path-Shaper]

I an here oh exalted one.

Anything I needs to know? Well, that you think I should know about this game on this day. (Shorter sentence offered too wide an opening.)

[Path-Shaper]

Oh joy. this looks to be a slow day.

Interesting. Lish looks to be pulling off an excellent fake reveal. Best way to lie: tell the truth but not all of it.

Of course it is only working because of Cast.

hey guys, about those modkills....

as I've mentioned, i'll be gone camping, from some time tomorrow till late on Monday. I'll leave some prov actions, but how long'll have b4 i'm modklilled after Mon?

That would be a Shin question. However, the rules do allow for
"The mods may grant extensions to this limit in some cases (if so, they will give details in a later post). However, if they have not posted on the thread to announce an extension before the 24 hour limit is reached, no extension will be granted, whatever may have been said elsewhere. Please contact the mods as early as possible if you wish to request an extension."

I'd say this is intent to request an extension.

I think that his question was in response to the

Notice: Only modkill timer will freeze during weekend. Play will continue throughout.

that I put at the end of the last time/vote update.

Ok. This is rare, a day where I didn't get murdered at work and have energy to review the thread. I kind of agree with Eloth that Jalan seems a bit too congenial but nothing about him has really felt scummy to me thus far. So far I feel most interested in Rash, as I stated this morning, and Galain. Just gut instincts right now, but I'm going to go back and examine a bunch of people. I'll post my thoughts in a little while.

The wheels on the bus go
round and round,
round and round,
all through the town.

The nuts on the lugs fail,
one by one,
one by one,
all through the town.

The wheels on the bus fly
round and round
lost and found,
all through the town.

The hubs on the bus go
screech and clash,
thump and thud,
all through the town.

The scum on the hill sing,
14 alts on the bus,
take one out, bury it down,
'til no more town.

Not one to spoiler much...

But I AM hoping that Tellan catches my swallow comment as a signal, while I hope that the same comment plus the vote and unvote are construed of my dumping Alkend.

Lisheo is talkative, I like it.

Alkend, on 01 August 2013 - 02:56 PM, said:

Hey, PS, I hope you don't mind me taking inspiration from my ACTUAL role PM. I was looking over the previous games when I had to reveal, and I remembered the alliances, and thought I'd integrate them with my scum duties. If you feel I'm going too far or it's too similar, please warn me and I'll knock it off.

Alkend, on 01 August 2013 - 03:10 PM, said:

Also, brief whine:
Cast might have been a symp, but I genuinely don't know if that's the case. Probability dictates it's extremely unlikely (although what the hell was that supporting me about?).
The only person who has a cohesive argument against me that is measured and worth voting me for is Okaros.
People who are voting me because Cast was allegedly a symp are really bugging me, and I don't remember this style of gameplay being in vogue at all when I started. It's akin to Day One play, seeing what you want to see. Anything that is that convoluted is very probably wrong. On the other hand, Okaros managed to catch me trying to be smart with the claimed name (I should have known that would catch up with me), noticed that my role wouldn't really make sense in a town setting (I suspect they might realize, however, that it would for scum, and then I'm screwed unless I can somehow lie my way out of it), and put pressure on me.
Ironically enough, I feel that Rashan is also playing pretty well, regardless of which faction he is in.
Sorry for the OH HOW I LONG FOR THE DAYS OF YORE, and I'll be honest, I know my own play has been utter garbage in the last two games with a heavy reliance on reveals to save my skin or try and push the game forward and an inability to guess who is on my faction, so maybe it's karmic justice, but it just bugs me a little.

Alkend, on 01 August 2013 - 03:19 PM, said:

That said, it's not a reflection on this game, which has been so damn fun that I was hammering F5 while having a conversation with my flatmate last night. This role is great from the perspective of balance and for having to really work hard as a player, especially if you're a mid-to-high poster like I am. I hope I see this kind of mechanic in games in the future.

Tellan switches target from Barghast to Okaros. Okaros is at the other castle. And Barghast is the guard at Tellan's castle.

So not the best of changes for Azath.

[Path-Shaper]

That's 3 in a row... Azath is gonna kick himself after the game.

Guards will always be told whether their guard was successful or not, but NOT whether or not they actually stopped an action. I guess I meant "Nothing special" when it comes to guarding their general, because frankly your question confused me because technically their general isn't any different than anyone else "action-wise".

Tellan, on 01 August 2013 - 11:06 PM, said:

Hmm.. Ok:

So right now, Mockra and I are both being fingered as scum, I think alkend may be my symp, but I'm not sure, and I'd rather make a perceivd attempt to make the thread less confused by the "alkend distraction", though I don't think he'll get lunched. If he's in miura castle(which he says he is) then its up to mockra what to do. Barghy and Okaros are seeming really town, and have nada suspicion, so I'll take out okaros. Defending myself from Barghy and Gait doesn't seem like itll be too hard, and I could deflect his suspicion onto Rashan since we've been compared but I could paint him as more scummy.

Scum is fun! And I haven't made a list yet!

I deleted it. Didn't think we needed it anymore. It consisted entirely of my questions ref the setup and your answers.

Edit: I've got to ask Silencer a couple of questions about administration over on the Eclipse thread. I can ask him if that thread can be undeleted if you'd like.
