And it probably won't be the claimed cop. I really hope the size of the anti-town factions makes the risk of losing the cop to an NK worth it. :/

WOW! THAT was unexpected! You just changed the game for better or for worse. You missed a possible scenario I can think of, (I'll explain later) but first I am looking forward to see RWarehalls reaction to this.

And I have a question to you: why do you refuse to state your name? It might contain a clue for fellow townies to confirm your claim. You already painted the biggest possible target on yourself. So there is no point in holding back your name. I think the danger that your name will provide clues to scum is smaller than the chance that your name might give fellow townies some piece of information. So in my opinion, after already going such a big step, the sensible thing to do, if you really are town, would be to reveal your name too.

And of course the big question to everyone: will anyone counter-claim?


For now, I will withdraw my vote after all. Sure, some may accuse me of vote hopping, but JMich has started to participate, what was the main point of this pressure vote ... and quite frankly we have something much bigger to investigate now!

unvote JMich

The things I learn in this game. Anyway, let's not go crazy with the RW votes yet, let's get some more opinions. There are people that have said close to nothing, we can't go to Day 2 without getting a feel of where they stand.
Personally I need a re-read.

Development!!

Also, Yog, you idiot, what the hell, dude?

I need to process this after I leave the office...

Thank you! I told myself go google that and than the phone rang and out my of my mind it went.

Oh, and I forgot: I won't vote for RWarehall yet. I want to read his answer first. I agree that we will probably have to lynch one of the two now (unless someone counterclaims, who then would enter the 'possible lynchees' pool as well, because then one of the two cop claimers has to be lying).
Previous to this big reveal yog looked slightly towny to me. But still, I am not willing to jump in too quickly and place a vote based only on this claim yet, but wait a bit and analyse reactions.

I could give you another interesting option...
At this point i clearly can't win...but I have a proposal for you...
My name is Maria Jimenez Lactosia Intoleramos.
Anti-Town? Not exactly. Anti-milk, hell yeah! Anti-everyone! Yes!

Milk sucks! You suck! But the Mafia sucks more as they peddle the stuff...

You want a pseudo-town Vigilante on a leash?

I'm a Restrictor / Serial Killer.

I really was scum hunting, I want them dead. I want you all dead too, but since my win condition is to be the last one alive, that isn't going to happen. I'd be more than willing to help you for a bit to keep things interesting.

My prize was a one-shot Bulletproof. My plan was to convince the Mafia to target me and burn their kill, hence why I was seeking attention.

I don't get a Night kill until day 3. Days 1 & 2 I can only restrict conversation my PM is very vague on the subject but I suspect maybe it imposes a post limit.

I propose this. You keep me alive. At the very least I eat one of those scum night kills. You want me to use my services. Town can vote on who I restrict or Night Kill (starting Day 3). What do you think?

I hear you, but for now I still decline to state. I don't think it's material to my claim, and I've read previous games where the character names really counted for something. (Think the "Jack" game, I forget which one that was.) Just in case scum have different character names than town, I don't want to tip my hand on that - in case town needs it later to trip up the scum somehow.


Another reason I moved my claim up a bit. God only knows how long it will take for CSPVG, cristi, JMich, et. al to fully weigh in. (Plus our inevitable replacement player needs to catch up on 1000 posts!) I wanted plenty of time.

I agree I would really like to hear from RW and others, but my vote is going to stay with him for now. I will be leaving for work soon (with in 30min) and I am not sure I will be back until later tonight. So for now I feel comfortable leaving my vote sit where it is. When I get home I will read over all that I missed and remove or change my vote with all the new information.

I think you have to die sooner or later because town only wins when all anti-town factions are gone?

So... you're a serial killer that was trying to attract attention to yourself? To get nightkilled?

Uh huh.

Anyway, thanks for this kind offer, but I am afraid I must decline at this time. Good luck to you in your future endeavors.

LOL.

Yes, of course. After we kill a few mafia to the point you think you might have them all, you have to lynch me. That part is clear. Of course i suspect the mafia will have to try to kill me first which at the very least burns one of their night kills. I doubt mafia lets me live to Night 3 but I can try...

Ignore my last post as I see RW has posted. I am reading over it now and will post my feeling in a few.

The goal, of course, was to successfully lure the mafia to kill me, be saved by my bulletproof prize and establish town credentials that way. Frankly, you have to take a few chances when your win condition is "kill everybody". I needed to somehow get cred to stay alive to the end and lurking is just not my style...
