If I can get through the last chunk of work stuff quickly, I might have time for a re-read. Got an after-work birthday dinner for one of my co-workers to attend, but I'll most certainly check in before time out, so I'll hammer if needed. Just want to actually try using the time to move the game forward (lynching Rash is merely avoiding moving backwards imho)

Galain was, iirc, the first to "clue in" on Kilava's "RI signal", so I gave him a pass for that, as a P(ossible)I. I may need to go back and see how obvious it is and whether I (as a non-RI) could clue into it.


I think a non-RI could certainly figure out what was Kilava on about from this post:

Double bold in the PS quote? Can't see more from phone and busy at work.

Post #27 first sentence was my subtle attempt at hinting at my RI PM. Of course you'd not have known that.


What are you trying to say here? Your quotes are all messed up, and post 27 has nothing to do with you claim on RI.

vote kilava

I'm going to bed.


My quotes aren't messed up, they're deliberately broken. I thought that was obvious. That'd be so that you could see the double bold. Not trimming the opening quotes at least gave it some context of the original post.

27 doesn't? Oh my.

Vote Ampelas

Post 27... *cringe*.

I swear, I would have modkilled him for that. I'm sure Vengy would've too. :clap:

OutKast is hip-hop too, kid!

The game doesn't have to stop when the clock is frozen, someone (Osserc?) even said that this weekend is the only time they have sufficient time for mafia

Turns out I might end up being here a bit longer today too though

Just cause I have some songs branded in the back of my brain from listening to the same mistake for 7 summers in a row at work doesn't mean I actually like said songs, :clap:

Okay, I am home and have read about half of what's new here.

Anyway, speculating on the Sorcerer's abilities is all WIFOM and a waste of time. Since none of you can fucking pick up on hints and run with it...

I am the Father. I resurrected Silchas. My resurrection ability is a one-time thing, this is the main reason I doubt the sorcerer's is more than once.


This is the obvious conclusion I arrived at, and was confident that others would draw the same obvious conclusion. Still, I wish you hadn't publicly revealed it.

From the half of the posts since this morning that I've read, what stands out the most to me is that Jalan, who was already alone at the top of my suspect list, is standing out as scummy-scum scum and then some. would vote for him right now if I didn't have a page of unread posts to catch up on.

I'd be willing to move my vote to Jalan if we can drum up enough support.

Galain DIDN'T clue in on it immediately. He posted as much and then returned 10 or 20 minutes later with [PARAPHRASING] Okay, I get it [/PARAPHRASING].

Since that time, I wonder if he actually did some quick thinking, realizing not getting it would lead to the conclusion jumping it eventually did lead to. He's not PI in my book.

Maybe it was only 5 or 10 minutes later, I'd have to look, but there was definitely a delay between Galain "not getting it" and "getting it." Of course, Ampelas never got it - and got a rope instead.

I still have some posts to catch up, and my ardor has cooled a wee bit in the meantime (but not a lot).

I rushed to the latest to see if the day had ended when I saw that earlier Rashan was in position to be hammered. Now that I know the day is still ongoing I want to read everything carefully before going off half-cocked.

BDSM hell, can you share your reasoning?



View PostGalain, on 27 April 2017 - 05:55 PM, said:

Bdsm?


Bondage/Sadomasochism (but you didn't hear that from me).


Because you're missing an important aspect

Bondage and Discipline, Sadism and Masochism (or your own choice of Discipline, Dominance and Submission, Sadism)


Sorry, I'm not even a neophyte in this range of interest. My sexual quirks lie elsewhere. :clap:

Like I said, I ain't sure of it. I wasn't in any position to chime in on Kilava's " reveal" anyway, so I may not have been super-attentive of that point

Ok, got about 30 min before I leave, so I'll try to do a quick re-read.

I think I'd prefer an Osseric lynch, though I'm thinking the Sorcerer may likely be more involved in steering town than that. Thyrllan and Nimander seem more obvious but only as low hanging fruit in my book. I'd think the truly ebil would be more crafty, as has been mentioned by others. Still, if 4 of you can agree on a prime candidate I'll be here through Nightfall. If you can agree, even if the choice is me or Rashan, I'll join the train or hammer.

So I went for a walk around the church, just to think by myself for a while. By the way, that sacristy is beautiful Father, really surprised to see that in such an out of the way place. Not much security though for a room which was supposed to be holding a diabolical time of black magic and the like. I mean, I don't want to point fingers, but just saying.

Speaking of pointing fingers, seeing as we're all finally giving voice to our thoughts and the like, I suppose I should too. There's a few people I don't like the smell of (aside from Silchas and Rashan har har). So on my walk I was thinking back to when Kilava first vouchsafed for themselves, and others began chipping in too. Now from what I remember Jalan never said anything, they just switched their vote to Ampelas with nary another word said either way.

I was going to make a point about Galain's reaction to it, but Thyr has already said exactly that. But I would hasten to add that I seem to recall Thyr's hesitant confirmation being quite similar to Galain's reaction - is that wrong?

The last person is Nimander. Keeps to themselves that one, real quiet like. Now, maybe that's preferable to my periodic panic attacks, but they just strike me with going with the flow of this whole situation - and how can one do that?

I need to think more about whether I buy Galain's and Thyr's reactions, so I suppose Jalan and Nimander are currently the ones I would most prefer to keep locked in the side chapel...or, well, you know.

I'd expect a Sorcerer to either be anxious to post early for getting a juicy role, and thus steer town, or lay low as much as possible for as long as things are going wrong for town as they usually do early in a game. The only hangup I have about going with Osseric is of course the posting style, which stands out enough that I'm not sure someone in the Sorcerer's shoes would want.

I'm in no way relying on my NAs and trying to sugarcoat it. I see lynching Rashan as the safe way to do this. If the ressurection was one time deal, then we get Rashan out of way early and I don't think we lose anything by that. If it wasn't one time deal then tommorow we will be at the same position except that we will know it's probably every night's ability for Sorcerer instead of losing a town member and having another scum raised from that if we decided to try to get the sorcerer today and lynched wrongly.


Exactly this. I think it's best to test the theory. I mean, I think it's more likely that he'll try to kill me until I'm dead than raise someone again right away, but either way, there's no need to leave Rashan around to test this theory. If we leave him around, and it turns out that he can resurrect more than one person, then instead of only having 2 scum left on thread, we'll have 3, and that number will just keep growing.

This way, we get to test our theory, get rid of a scum recruit, and can continue trying to find the sorcerer except with more information about how his mechanics work than we currently have, and one less player on his team.


This, to me, seems the best course of action. I sort of want to give a warning that I will hammer in 15 minutes to give people a chance to object, but their objection would likely come in the form of a "remove vote," which would tend to piss me off.

Plus, it will be after midnight here if this day runs its full course, which is (for me) quite inconvenient.

Therefore, Let the Chips Fall Where They May.

Vote Rashan
