@Wyrm, I have to agree with Sage that you make it very hard for me to see you as Town. If I had to base my reads on you solely on your posts and not on external "confirmations" you would have been the top pick right now...

flubbucket: I see JMich picking an easy target to engage in banter leading to the inevitable foot in mouth by HijacK (no offense =p ).
Hm. This is an interesting concept. I believe I was the first person JMich started to push and that was when pretty much everyone was not too fond of me. I have to re-check when exactly things shifted towards HijacK - before or after we started to talk about the town tell and public opinion of me softened somewhat.

TwilightBard: I have mentioned that I was changed by an emission, not sure at the moment I can get too detailed without directly quoting.

I have to do some deeper reading, will hopefully be more active once I've slept.
Ok, guess its time to state why I asked that. I'm having a problem with post #109 where Flub states:

"My role PM is quite clear about what I can do regarding emissions and artifacts."

Personally, I cannot say the same thing regarding mine. From your answer, I'm getting the impression yours neither.
Twilight, please correct me if I'm wrong...

TwilightBard: I'm trying to be a bit vague, since I guess I inadvertently kept a card at my chest. But letting RNG do it was a case of Lift informing me of exactly what my ability was outside of flavor. It was for clarification, and was labelled as such.

But to be honest, I'm pretty uncertain about that bolded part. Honestly, I'm not even sure what you're trying to get at with it, besides push that I'm somehow lying about my role, or you're fishing for more information then I may or may not be willing to give out.
Basically I found your wording a bit vague and contradictory and thought it might be because you'd made the whole thing up, but I understand it can be difficult to explain while not quoting your PM. JMich has offered some kind of confirmation of your explanation, although that doesn't give me too much faith as he's right up on my scum list and he might be doing so to give himself town points.

This is where I'm at too... and RWarehall would be right behind him... But flub makes a good point about a Godfather and it's a possibility I would certainly consider because damn if Bookwyrm doesn't come across as really scummy some times...

I agree completely. He'll probably he ranting and raving in the QT for me saying so, but HijacK's response is fairly predictable. If I was going to engage with anyone in the hopes of them getting themselves lynched I would have chosen HijacK too. The fact that he didn't vote on him either when his wagon built up makes me suspicious, as does his semi claiming....

I have only this to say:

dedoporno: 2. Flub (double teamed with Krypsyn. Seems to have different PM than mine)
This is a double-edged knife, though. I hope this doesn't backfires.

Sage103082: You go from I to they. To putting yourself right in the conversation or watching the conversation play out. Past tense here present tense..

As for the last sentence.. "I just need to avoid being lynched." If that is what you need to do why does it seem like you keep poking the dog with a stick. To me it feels like you are purposely phrasing your posts a certain way to bring attention to yourself.
I started with a simple "if -> then" statement, then I went into further conjecture after establishing what the first topic of scum conversion is most likely going to be. Where did I switch from past to present tense in that entire paragraph (am I somehow failing my english comprehension here)?

Does town really not discuss how scum might be functioning? What they might be thinking, why they did certain things, what they might try next? People say I look scummy for talking about these things, and but it seems to take a misrepresentation of my words to actually say that my logic is wrong.

Is anyone willing to name any other topics that I shouldn't step in? -.-
Maybe I just need to reread only my posts, to see what looks so bad about them.

Personally I think you're doing ok and people are being over-picky - much more of a scum tell for me

Krypsyn: How was my behavior regarding dedoporno "odd"? Be specific, if you don't mind. Links to posts would be appreciated.

As for the "disinterest", all I can say is Real-Life happens.

As soon as I know what I am thinking, you, and the rest of the thread, will be the first to hear.
The odd behavior is from day one where all your responses are one word or just short and clipped after you voted dedoporno. Going back through the thread this is the behavior that stood out as the most odd to me from anyone. I also wanted to hear more from you and the only way to apply any pressure from someone is to vote for them.

The thing is that theorizing like this is the shortest way to WIFOM. People tend to try and align the facts to fit their theory rather than shaping the theory to match the facts. Without actually having some knowledge on the matter one can make only assumptions.

I do see you as town right now and I maybe I am being overly picky. I think one reason for this is that you have much more posts and things to look at then a lot of the others. It was also two am and I think I was starting to see deeper into it then what was there. As I said I do see you as town so I will be backing off picking on you unless I do see something scummy and Ill call you on it but I think one post about it should be enough. =)

Off to finally get a rental car so my insurance company will stop dragging their feet.
So it appears that statement in post 109 is out of place. At the time, I noted it, but given my role (or lack thereof), I could neither confirm nor deny whether this might be true. Enter day 2 and a role claim and that statement looks suspicious.

From the beginning, I did not like Flub's very early scum list pointing out "lurkers" before we had even really broke out of RVS. Seriously, lurking through RVS is a thing? It seemed to me, there might have been an ulterior motive to start painting people in a bad light for future use.

Add to this, that while generally pro-town sounding posts, they seem to be very terse and mostly echoing existing sentiment. There is some substance, but not much if any new ground has been broken. I find this to be consistent with a post often appear helpful but don't actually help playstyle.

As such...

Everyone broods in silence again. No one dares to speak. When suddenly the silence is disturbed by a rumbling sound. The ground shakes! And then a sudden red lightning splits the air above Chernobyl and seconds later thunder rumbles ominously.

Another Emission is approaching. But this time the radio stays silent. Perhaps it was damaged by the kick it recieved.

dedoporno: I have to re-check when exactly things shifted towards HijacK - before or after we started to talk about the town tell and public opinion of me softened somewhat.
To report on that, JMich engaged in polemics with HijacK after the town tell emerged as a potential thing (but before the revela) and after RWarehall spotted and confirmed it. Also, after HijacK confronted Wyrm and OMGUS voted him. HijacK was certainly not in the greatest of spots at the time, so this may be considered as JMich focusing on the next potential target, but this, of course, may just be paranoia making me see the convenient scenario. I'm still not convinced this is enough to put a vote on him, but we'll see. Still noteworthy, though.


It seems we are on the clock again. Not sure if the non-transmitting radio means something time-wise.

I think we've just been warned that the clock is approaching. I don't think it has started quite yet, but we should expect a timer soon.
I have a concern about a voting pattern but I can not get books script to work and its late so I will try and see if I am correct or over seeing things tomorrow.

Bookwyrm627: I think we've just been warned that the clock is approaching. I don't think it has started quite yet, but we should expect a timer soon.
No, the timer is already running. As stated in the setup of the game, the Earthquake is the warning, that the deadline is approaching in 2 + X days. I thought that was clear, since the warning Earthquake was explicitly part of the game setup. Sorry if that created confusion. The radio staying silent was just fluff because someone kicked it ... and old electronic equipment is not too reliable.

So, to make it absolutely clear:
You are already 11 hours into the 2-days, running time zone. So the earliest the Emission could strike would be Friday Evening. After that, there's only the +X, about which you don't know how much time it will buy you.
