This isn't the last buffy game. You may be right, but I am not ruling anything out.

So, does anyone here actually know anything about Buffy other than me? I'm talking about the show, obviously.

The quotes used by PS help narrow down the threats we should be looking at for me a bit since they've all been season 2 territory. I was pretty sure that's be what this covered, but now I'm sure. That means that we're likely looking at a lover's pair of Spike and Drusilla. They've likely got instructions to hunt and recruit Angel since a large part of their plot from season 2 involved turning him to Angelus again. There were a couple other villians in the season - another vamp that didn't play well with Spike and Drusilla as well as a demon that they summoned. With numbers what they are, my bet is on Spike and Drusilla though.

I don't, I kinda stopped watching the show after Season 1.

I'm surprised that there was such resistance to the Osseric lynch Day 1, but their Day 2 play seems quite RI-like. Then again, it could be good acting. And in a no-revals game pointing out players as "likely roled" , when the only way t verify that is via CF seems a bit... WIFOMish.

Anyhow, work is hectic, but I'll be around.

I don't know anything about Buffy, except that she's a vampire slayer.

I don't find Osseric's play RI-like either. He's erratic and appears to have more info that he'll admit. Rashan looks spooky to me too, for the reasons I mentioned earlier. Currently considering these two for a vote.

Most probable cast, not looked how many playing yet but;

Buffy, Xander, Willow, Cordelia, Oz, Giles, Jenny Calendar, Angel, Drusilla, Spike, Anointed One are most likely.

In this season the big bads are Spike and Drusilla and they turn Angel into Angelus.

Xander and Cordelia are dating, so are Buffy and Angel until he goes pyscho. Giles and Jenny date but break up and she gets killed by Angelus and left on Giles' bed. Anointed one ends up being killed by Spike, who is in love with Drusilla whom in turn is weakened at the beginning of the season.


I'd missed this earlier. Explains what I was trying to say today, but better.

We've 12 players and I'm willing to bet that the second slayer Kendra Young is involved as well.

So what is the case on Osseric? Just Day 1 bullshit? Figures.


He's being voted because he mentioned 'signalling' and voted somebody ... I think

It doesn't make sense. For one thing, there are much better options. Like Ampelas, who spammed up the last two pages to make it completely unreadable and seems awfully eager to break the game. I dislike the way he's playing.

Vote Ampelas

So I'm simultaneously trying to hinder progress and break the game.

Totally makes sense. Have an OMGUS vote.

remove vote

Vote lock



Osseric had 3 votes yet you vote for someone with 0. That is not voting to get a lynch, that is voting to protest.


No. That was voting a scumread. Like this:

vote lock

I'm not going to examine the vote count every time I lay a vote down so I can look good. That's scum's problem. Not mine.

Dude. Faction game. That means NO SCUM. Just factions!

That being said, near end of day, if you're trying to start a different wagon, it's a pretty scummy thing to do. At that point in the day, it was either pile on the Osseric wagon, or refrain from voting. Voting elsewhere just makes you seem like you're trying to detract attention from an Osseric lynch.

Call it what you want, those not in my "faction" are scum.

I'm not voting a nonscumread just to appease the masses. That's scum's job. Not mine.

Exactly. If you really feel the need to start a different train, do it at the beginning of the next day. Yes, make your point so that if you end up dead, survivors can come back to it, but don't try to derail. It's honestly better to refrain from voting on a bad train (as I did) than to place a vote on a new player that late in the day.

That said, I've got to ask- Thyr, why did you respond to an obvious joke non-vote (as you pointed out yourself) with a serious vote? Yeah, I'm tired of the signalling claims too, but that seemed like an overreaction.

Take whatever actions you want, as long as you understand why you painted a giant red bullseye on your chest as scum by taking those particular actions.

Exactly - no one is telling you what you should or shouldn't do, but if you do something I consider to be scummy, I will point it out and tell you why I think it's scummy.

Take that however you want to take it.

As you can see, it hasn't materialized into a vote on you, because unlike you, I treat a faction game as a faction game, so don't automatically think scummy moves deserve votes, cause scummy is irrelevant in this case.

What I'm looking for are things that stand out to me as someone trying to protect someone else (such as, potentially, their faction leader, or a lover, or some other connection I haven't thought of).

Clearly you're not as tired of them as me. I've spent almost every Day 1 since the Venice game repeating the same point. :D

That being said, it started out as a half-serious vote. But it matured by the end of the day, especially in light of me thinking that the alternative (Amp) was un-helpful, but not a vampire.

If I was scum, I would care about your opinion.

like Rashan 'voting Osseric' without first removing his vote from me - not that it would have led to a lynch anyway, but that's a classic "Ooops, I made a mistake and forgot to remove my vote" end of day mistake to make it seem like you wanted to lynch someone when you, in fact, really didn't.


I'd still like to hear from Rashan about this.

In other words, you're looking for informed players.

Sounds like scumhunting to me.

I mean, call it what you will. I'll just call it what it is. Hunting for members of other factions.
