"A bunch of you", with 5 players with votes left and a lynch threshold of four, a "bunch" of the remaining players in a cult with a SK on the loose is basically game over for town. I don't think that's the case. Most likely, only the SK remains.


Then who, pray tell, was the recruiter? I've seen nothing that tells me the recruiter has died, nor even hints at that. So anytime someone denies the existence of a recruiter, it just leads me to believe that they must have been recruited.

So, you and Shadow on Liosan's side, then, eh?


I believe the recruitment mechanism was the bad/good cop thing, with (one of the) scum factions recruiting bad cops for their operations using a bribe. They had to identify who the cops were, then recruit them for their faction. Most likely we had three scum faction roles: some with a find (captain?), a briber (the enforcer?) and someone with a kill (the warrior?). A recruiter doesn't have to be called "recruiter".

Okay, next time I want to look like an idiot I have to remember that not using Google is the easiest method for that.

Okay.... I'm going to have a look at all the CFs we have gotten....

Anomandaris - RI, but seen kidnapping someone
Eloth - Former Police Officer
Fener -
Grasp - Police Officer
Karosis - Salvadoran Captain
Korlat - La Cosa Nostra Captain
Omtose - Mafioso Warrior
Silanah - FBI Agent
Togg - Salvadoran Enforcer
Ultama - Salvadoran Captain


....So, what's interesting to me in all that is that there were 3 dead Salvadorans, but only one La Cosa Nostra CF.... Though Omtose did come back as just a Mafioso Warrior, so maybe he was a La Cosa Nostra?


We never got a CF on Fener, he just sort of disappeared from the vote count at some point. Then Gait started posting Fener-like posts...

Oh get a grip. You're trying to vote for the Reporter which is bizarre play.

You may not have noticed but it was PS that did the silencing and it was in response to something in a discussion I was having with a source, being a Reporter and all. It was a bad call and if you're that worried then check out the spoilers when game is over. My opinion on the matter was quite clearly expressed in the first picture I posted.

Gait had been posting them all along, Fener was a router in a flat to provide anonymity. With my kidnapping the Police investigation found and exposed the router. Note the PS scene where the kidnapping victim is identified as a reporter. Fener had no CF because Fener was an alias. Fener also had no vote and didn't count towards the votes needed to lynch because... yes you guessed it... he was an alias.

Please justify your inclination to vote for me to the thread; the only possible situation where I can see it is where you're stalling for time because a vote for me is likely not to go through and hang the lynch. Why would you need to stall for time? Because you're a SK worried about not getting enough kills in.

You literally had said nothing on thread until PS 'silenced' you.

I think that yes, you have the ability to silence people, but that you used it on yourself so that you wouldn't have to actually participate on thread, and to throw any suspicion away from you.

Anyway, regardless of all that, I'm still more interested in Lio as a recruiter than I am in you - I don't know WHAT kind of game you're playing, but for now, I don't think it's going to hurt me much.

So here are the things that stand out to me regards Liosan...

Firstly, there was the hammer vote on Korlat. Yes, he was found as scum, then admitted himself that he was scum. But in a game like this, I think that Liosan was just taking advantage of this so that he could get rid of someone quickly before they could provide any more information. Perhaps he was worried that Korlat might give something away about him, who knows?
And then we get this post where Shadow is deflecting from Liosan:

View PostShadow, on 13 November 2015 - 10:36 AM, said:

So you'd rather lynch possible scum than proven bad cop?
Before you ask, youre way more likely to be scum than lio



He never DOES explain why he thinks that Ultama is more likely to be scum. This was my first hint that Liosan was probably a recruiter.

Then here, Denul also deflecting from Liosan:

View PostDenul, on 13 November 2015 - 12:37 PM, said:

I disagree.

With those finds out in the open, it was in town's interest to give scum as least time as possible to change NAs. I would have hammered, too, but was busy. Now I know I'm not scum, so that behavior is not my hallmark of scummines.

However, knowing Khell, there's probably manipulation hidden in true finds.



So Denul may be a coroner's assistant, but I believe he was recruited some time ago by Liosan nonetheless.

That means that Lio, Denul and Shadow are likely working together (imo), Emu, Gait and I are not (or well, I'm not working with them at any rate)....

Gait is the Survivor... Emurlahn is likely one of the coroners, but has been a non-presence on thread all Day, so no read on him....

Well, I won't be voting with Lio, Denul or Shadow, so I guess for now they'll have to try to get Gait to follow them, unless Emurlahn shows back up.

vote Liosan


for being a filthy recruiter.

And you said pretty much nothing all game until recently.

Given that Arrest and Kidnap seem to be silencing actions why would Gnaw/Venge feel the need to put an additional, 3rd, method of silencing in and why would I not have used it on anyone else before now but now choose to use it on myself?

I have yet to hear anything which proves Tholen is not scum

Plus he has not responded to my post linking him and Ano as RI and probable SKs.

Vote Tholen

So then what did you do to get yourself silenced?

Tholen, I'm sorry, I was not recruited. Neither do I think Liosan is a recruiter.

Vote Tholen

If I'm being played, so be it.

Sure I did, I said that Ano's RI CF throws my being found as RI into question. There's nothing I can do about that - I can't deny that it makes me look suspicious. All I can do, then, is continue to work out who, of those left, could be the recruiter, and/or the SK.

I think it's more important, today, that we find the recruiter. You don't have majority yet, so you can't control the thread, but if we don't kill the recruiter (i.e. you) today, then you WILL have majority, and then game over.

So, today we kill the recruiter, tomorrow we find the SK, and voila, town wins. If we go after the SK today, then the recruiter wins. If we miss the recruiter today, then the recruiter wins. It's pretty basic and obvious to me.

Cause I'm sure the first thing someone who was recruited would say is "Hey! I've been recruited!" Posted Image

Tholen, if both the criminal factions are gone, as PS has posted, what am I supposed to be a recruiter of? The garbage collector agency?

Fucked if I know - I only found out today that Fourth Estate was supposed to be the reporter.

All I'm saying is we haven't seen anything that indicates to me that a recruiter has been killed, which, to me, means there's a recruiter left out there.

Considering how half the thread is deflecting from you, and now Denul's even following you onto the lynch train, well, it seems pretty obvious to me that you're a recruiter. *shrugs*

I just assumed everyone knew Fourth Estate meant journalists. Oh well..

As Denul said its highly likely that the Cartel and Mafia members had recruitment powers to corrupt cops. Since they are no longer here, your recruitment talk is a bit silly.
