I'm pretty sure that's not actually a recruitment request. Note that the bit from Story mentions that you can respond and send them a message. It does not say anything about you joining them. I'd say it's 95% likely a scum messager fucking with you and trying to sow some confusion and distrust.

Also, Canon wise- Catwoman was someone who could go both ways- she's got a history of being a "villain" to the Batman, but she's also had a long history of being an ally of Batman and even his lover at times.
Just for those keeping track of that sorta stuff. Though I did agree with peeks, it's interesting that the journal mentioning that the "they had found someone working against their collective evil interest" implies that the Town as a whole does have an evil interest. That we are all "baddies" if you will.
Robin (LF)'s PM implies she's up to no good as well, so null there, but it was just something to consider- if we have a role claim by someone who's trying to "Save" Gotham or "End the reign of villainy"- I will tend to trust them a bit less... even if "color is just color".

Didn't we have someone go on and on talking about "It would be interesting if the ---Mobile was a character in this game" ?
In other news, I guess I was wrong on pizza.
Me, being wrong in Mafia? At least I am consistent.

You can't trust me or anyone else anymore. I can't be sure if this is "Scum", "PFK" or another mason-kind-of-town-thing. But we have to stop the semi-confirmed right now!! I got this and (year - you can't trust me on it) declined: I'm confused here...you say you declined the offer...exactly how did you do that? The note says that "to join our recruitment drive, just mention the Batmobile in the game thread." Which you did in this very post. And in case it doesn't count in the context of quoting the original message, you mentioned it again in your very next post. So if the note you received was legitimate, it looks to me like you just accepted the recruitment offer.

<font style="font-size: 12px;">Ok, back at work with my notes. A search of +Batman +kerosene brings back a ton of results -- one villian or another using kerosene for something is a common plot element in the comics. But there's one time we hear about kerosene more than any other -- someone driving The Batmobile: My theory: Scum, as a team, have access to The Batmobile. They're using it for some sort of nighttime investigative purpose, and the iconic jet booster leaves the tell-tale odor of kerosene. Scum investigated me on Night One and peeker on Night Two. <font style="font-size: 12px;">NETA: I also wonder if "The Batmobile" isn't a role on it's own? There we go.

In other news, I guess I was wrong on pizza. Me, being wrong in Mafia? At least I am consistent. you know, I thought about that. After/during the kerosene conversation a vehicle was mentioned and a few people commented on it by name Could this be designed to cast suspicion on everyone who participated in that conversation?

99% of me wants to think that Hal's voting for everyone, and his BM mention* are coincidence.
But, This isn't an occupy movement.
The 1% is more vocal, in my head at least.
*A BM mention? Gross! Go to the bathroom.

Come on really? You know that quote from Hoopy that people love to throw around? The one about players being far more gastardly than any mod could be? This is that situation. Compare: I am now Town, having been recruited. I still have my power, too. Here are the relevant PM's. One message from story SPECIFICALLY mentions being recruited, and says exactly what the response should be and what the consequences are. The other has none of those things, and only mentions sending a message back. There is no chance in hell that was a legitimate recruitment attempt.

Just to confirm: SBrOwn's number was negative yesterDay Dawn, but positive now? Or was one of those a typo?I guess my late vote-change looks pretty bad, now. But for icing on the cake, what with all of the blocking claims, pizzaguy flipping Scum now gives us some nice, hard data. I believe that least one of the following is true: A: We have multiple anti-Town roleblockers, one of whom targeted Gadarene and one of whom targeted sinjinB: sinjin is Scum C: sinjin is not Scum, but was investigated by them, and at least one of Meeko or Lightfoot is Scum and lied about being blocked D: sinjin is not Scum, but was investigated by them, and there's another roleblocker out there (possibly Town) who blocked LightfootThere's enough wiggle room in there that I don't think a case can be built against anyone, but it looks extremely likely to me that Scum already know who sinjin is. I think it would therefore be a good idea for her to claim publicly. I am not seeing the logic in this. Why do you say I was investigated by scum? I actually believe that pizzaguy sent Storyteller a block order on me last night. It would take great balls to claim that if he didn't and it was his whole case against me. But he wasted his power because I did nothing last night. I received no notification from Storyteller that I was blocked because there was no action to block.

Yeah, I think that was someone with the power to send messages, trying to smudge Hal in a roundabout way. This could mean that Hal is a Townie that some enemy thought would make an easy target. Or, of course, it could mean that the note-sender just wanted us to think that.
Note also, by the way, that Pleo told us he had the power to send messages to Batman, so there's precedent for that sort of thing being in the game.
Either way, when I eventually find out who sent that, I'm going to exalt their karma, since that's a clever use of what should be a useless power, and I have to respect that. Well, after we finish killing them.

OK, finally caught up, and I think I have a reasonably clear picture of what's een going on up 'til now. A few thoughts, in no particular order: I don't like the Pizza wagon. I agree that his play is sometimes confusing, often frustrating, and generally 'not the way I would play', but I think he's been that way in every game I've played with him. I have no particular reason to suspect he's Town, but nothing I've seen really suggests he's Scum. ~~snipped~~ ATPG always seems like he is trying to tune the orchestra. That was the only read I got on him this game too. To reply. I investigated scathach I did a summary post on sinjin
Silverjan’s claimed power seems like it just breeds confusion ( no reason for anyone to false claim their name now- just doctor the colour ) and Suburban Plankton , you said/did something that resonated but with your volume of posts I have not quite put my finger on it yet. For me it was more post quality and the on / off/ on again for ATPG combined with comments D3

That's my case A: Gadarene also claimed to have been blocked the same Night, and that was presumably done by someone anti-Town. So for pizza to have blocked you, and for someone to have blocked Gadarene, implies multiple anti-Town roleblockers. And yes, that's possible, but I consider it less likely than the other cases.
Oh, and on another note: When we just had the Penguin as an ally of the Bat, I assumed that the simplest explanation was that he'd been recruited. Now, though, with both Penguin and Catwoman, it's beginning to look more likely that the Scum team really does have villainous names on it, and did from the beginning. I don't know what this means in terms of the information I was given, because if the Scum already have names like that, why would they need fake names? Maybe the Mad Hatter is just what Batman would have shown as, if the Scarecrow had gotten to him? But that would mean that the Scarecrow would never get useful results, and that seems off to me, too. In other words, I'ven't a clue on that score.

I think it would therefore be a good idea for her to claim publicly. Had some time to think about this. Between your acrostic request, the information given to you that you knew Mad Hatter wasn't in this game, some of your questionable decisions in voting, and now this ballsy attempt to get sinjin to claim her role, I'm really starting to think you have a role similar to the Riddler's last game. The information is starting to add up.

I received this message last night. Scum even signed it with, S. S could mean scum. S could also mean scathach, sinjin, SBrOwn, Suburban, or Silver Jan. S could also mean Scarecrow, Scarface, Solomon Grundy, Selina Kyle, or some other S name from the Batmanverse. Can you clarify exactly when you got this? Total supposedly just got hers when Night Three started. When you said you got it last night, does that mean you got it at the start of Night Two? If so, didn't Gadarene get peeker's message at the start of Night One? Curious.

Gadarene, can you stand a few more questions about your message regarding peeker? I'm assuming that it was similar to the one that Total quoted just above? However, Total implies that it was part of her original PM. (Corrections welcomed.) The timing of your claim indicates that it might have been a message received at dusk of day one. Is that correct? If so, can I ask if it came in an envelope? You aren't mod confirmed. Mod confirmed would be Story posting in the thread "Peeker is Town." Right now the only word we have that you are Town is yours and Gad's. Here's the PM I got. It was from story, and it was entitled "A Development."

Hmmm... I know I certainly haven't been sending out any enveloped messages, and I certainly haven't been signing anything so stupidly as with an "S." -_-
It seems we may have a messenger on our hands- one who has already smudged Total by implying she killed AR, and one who has smudged the Kerosene inhaling Hal or at least forced us to think about this a lil' more.
I wonder though- why [if it's fake]- what's the benefit of getting Total to say that word? Just to see her willingness to maybe join scum? Or to maybe use this as part of their big "Ah-Ha!" moment if they claim- and try to frame her?
It is an interesting use of the messenger power. More so the first time they signed it S. and the 2nd time they're implying they're scum.
I don't trust it.
As for Peeks- are you asking if Day killing is a good thing for town? I guess it'd depend on who they DK was. DK makes me immediately think of Scum, but I guess if there was a townie confirmed DK... :Shrug: It's sort of like having a Vig. With great power comes great responsibility, and I don't think i can give enough information as to whether its a good idea to kill or not unless there's maybe obvious scum out there or something.

And DK means?
And Pollux, I can see where you get that idea, but first of all, the Riddler is already dead, and second, the acrostics wouldn't help such a role unless they were already supplied with all of the PMs (not just role-names), since it's basically impossible to guess what they mean without help like that. Besides, if acrostics were somehow enough to reveal roles, why would I ask sinjin to claim? I already have her acrostic. If your hypothesis were correct, the only person left I should be pressuring would be Suburban.

And is it possible that Silver Jan's role is somehow connected? Possibly. I'm not going to make that logic jump yet, but in the first game Riddler/Hush were a "team" (team being loose because at any time the Riddler could kill Hush and frame him as a serial killer) so it wouldn't surprise me if there was something similar going on in this game. The fact that Silver Jan finds out names means names are probably important somehow to someone. Or storyteller's just screwing with us. As for your PM, I'm tempted to throw the entire thing out the window as somebody trying to cause chaos and confusion. But if we take it at face value, since "S" doesn't want to claim because of Silver Jan's suspicion of Lightfoot, it's probably an S that is usually on the side of Batman. Hell, maybe Superman's paid a visit to Gotham and the Supes is keeping an eye on us all, passing us notes. And DK means?

If your hypothesis were correct, the only person left I should be pressuring would be Suburban. First, I think peeker means DK = Daykill, but I'm not sure. He could be referencing Donkey Kong. Second, I'm not implying you're the Riddler, as it's obvious the Riddler's already bitten it. But that doesn't mean somebody else doesn't have a similar type role this game. I would have been shocked to see storyteller give the Riddler the exact same role he had last game, but I wouldn't be shocked to see a variant on the role given to someone else from the Batman canon. I don't pretend to know what the reasonings could be for you getting acrostics, but maybe they are important to your role in some fashion, who knows. It just seems odd to me that you, specifically, got information on who wasn't in the game, and are also asking people to reveal information about themselves, however innocuous (acrostics) or blatant (asking sinjin to claim) they may be. Maybe you're, say, Clayface, and you're compiling a list of people so you can impersonate all of them and get away scot-free. Hell, maybe you're just a random villain and you're looking for a specific person to satisfy your win condition. Who knows. Point is, I wouldn't say knowing people's names is a thing that would be exclusive to the Riddler.

I would think at the very least, this would un-softconfirm Peeker.
What is the likelihood that scum are using the messenger power to message each other?
Is it more likely that we don't even have a messenger power at all ?

No, Gadarene's message was phrased differently-- It pretty clearly looks like the statement that peeker is Town came from the moderator, not from peeker.
Scum presumably don't need to message each other, because they presumably have their own board where they can talk. Even if they do need to message each other, those messages wouldn't be the ones that folks are reporting.
And we clearly have someone sending messages, given that people are receiving them.

I received this message last night. Scum even signed it with, S. S could mean scum. S could also mean scathach, sinjin, SBrOwn, Suburban, or Silver Jan. S could also mean Scarecrow, Scarface, Solomon Grundy, Selina Kyle, or some other S name from the Batmanverse. Can you clarify exactly when you got this? Total supposedly just got hers when Night Three started. When you said you got it last night, does that mean you got it at the start of Night Two? If so, didn't Gadarene get peeker's message at the start of Night One? Curious. Not that you actually asked, but it wasn't from me. I have no message-sending ability. The message that Gadarene received was a bit different than the ones that Total and texcat received. Gadarene claims to have received 'Word of Mod', not just an anonymous note. So I think that the peeker/Gadarene message is unrelated to the other two (which may or may not be related to each other). Assuming of course that everyone who claims to have received a message is telling the truth in the first place.
