Hi, everyone - Joker here again, back with some more posthumous commentary on the ongoing excitement here in Gotham. After a fast start, the good folks on the bad side have hit a bit of a slump, and the bodies are starting to pile up fast and furious. After the rather... dramatic events of Day Four, they've decided to gather this morning near the pond at the center of Gotham Central Park. And look at the lovely decorations! The sludge from ACE Chemical has made the local fish a bit less potable, so a crowd of birds who have, regrettably, ceased circulatory and respiratory function surround the pool. Look at them all! Dead sparrows! Dead whippoorwills! And right in the middle, one big, fat, dead sidekick.
Lightfoot, ROBIN, who was Town (Investigative), is dead.
Hey, he looks just like he did that time I killed him! I wonder if it'll take this time. What's that, Steve? Sorry, Steve, I couldn't make it out. What's that you say? There is no one named Steve? Oh, well, that's awkward for both of us. Also awkward: a second body, over near the orange trees, in a slowly spreading pool of accelerant.
CometotheDarkSideWeHaveCookies, FIREFLY, who was Town (Protective), is also dead.[/b]
Also, looks like BillMc is toDay's lucky device recipient. It's a shotgun, bolted to his chest. No counter on this one - just four lights. The first one is labeled with the symbol for "pi." The second is labeled with an italicized e, and the third with an italicized i. The last one just says "zero." None of the lights are lit so far. Hey, whoever this is doing this, I LIKE him. Or her. Or it. We don't discriminate here.
Well, looks like they're going to get back to work. I can't figure out how they're going to execute somebody out here. Hey, let's throw a little bit of a Joker into the deck. Pardon the pun, of course. Hey everyone! Listening? Seriously, you people reading this - folks from the Straight Dope and Idlemafia mafia group, playing this game, right now: are you listening? This is important, pay attention!!!
IDLE THOUGHTS IS SCUM.[/u][/color]
Thank you.
----
Day Five begins here, and will end on Thursday at 2:00PM Eastern. Note that I am leaving after 2:00PM on Thursday and thus have no choice but to end the Day three hours early. I will try to issue frequent reminders of this.

Thank you all for letting me live another Day and Night. I was hoping to get to this point so I could finally use my power and kill one of you off, hahaha. I make those posts yesterday ("Vote for me, I volunteer, I'm always an easy target") hoping to inspire pity and thus, no votes....and it worked out pretty well, you gullible players. : ) What a great way to end my last game, going out with a bang, muahaha. But seriously, thanks for allowing me to survive this long so that I was able to kill off one of your group. It was very amusing seeing everyone talk about how they don't like or trust Idle's PM, yet nobody does anything about it (like voting for me), although having PizzaGuy vote for me the other Day certainly helped too, so he gets credit as well. Helped me get away scot free and murder someone. *sits back and relaxes* Hey....I wonder if I'd be able to convince you all not to vote for me for yet ANOTHER DAY...just for shits and giggles? Bwhahahaha. You won't win, by the way. You have no idea who the last two scum are. You're all miles away from them. You're looking in the wrong direction. You're being fooled....yet again... much like I fooled you.

Also, Suburban Plankton...hurting a little today, are we? Should you be the one to tell Town or should I? It's okay, though, Town won't be hurt by losing a third party like yourself.

Ah well. Dead if I did and dead if I didn't. Go town. If y'all can actually show up, post, and read for comprehension all at the same time, you might still be able to win.

Heh, Suburban Plankton was online for awhile, but quickly went off. Pretending not to see that you're found out until you have a good explanation thought up?
It's okay, I understand. I'd do that too.

I was hoping for a separate Doctor role to protect Cookies last Night but oh well.
My guess is Idle had some sort of power that allowed the scum a second kill in trade for announcing he was scum. And of course they would use it on a Night where we were debating whether texcat should use her kill or not. My guess is she didn't as both targets were very useful targets for the scum.
I also hope this finally puts to rest the whole debate of good guys and bad guys being town.
I think a mass claim at this point would be good for town. That's my opinion though.
I'd be surprised if we have very many powers left now. It'd be helpful if Gadarene could actually check in and talk about the peeker situation and what power they may or may not have, especially since I saw him around the boards earlier today.
If you're town, you need to contribute to discussion. I'm looking at specific people here.
Honestly I'm a little infuriated by today's turn of events, especially in light of how Idle turned out. I'll probably post more later when I'm not as pissed.

Suburban Plankton won't be able to help power-wise..he has no powers anymore.
Since he's offline right now (probably going off like a scaredy cat not wanting to address my calling him out above), I'll go ahead and spill HALF of the beans right now.
Mystery scum one (of two) voted to take Suburban's powers away last Night. We were successful according to this message:
I'll reveal the other half of info (I.E. why we chose him) if he doesn't come clean himself when he's on next.

Huhhh. Two deaths last night in spite of me not targeting anyone. Ugh. And I'm not sure what to make of Idle....are we so sure that nothing horrible will happen if we lynch him?
Idle, why are you claiming scum?

Idle, why are you claiming scum? Yes, didn't you read my post? The one right after the topic was posted? --I-- killed one of those people. My role is HUNTRESS. My power is, I can kill someone on a Night I choose to (giving the scum team an extra kill)...but the con of it is that "I'm not very subtle"...and thus will be revealed as scum as soon as I use it, even if my kill attempt fails. Thankfully it didn't fail. So since I'm outted anyway, why not claim scum? I mean, it all of says I'm scum in the OP. Denying it at this point would be futile.

Listening? Seriously, you people reading this - folks from the Straight Dope and Idlemafia mafia group, playing this game, right now: are you listening? This is important, pay attention!!! IDLE THOUGHTS IS SCUM.[/u][/color] Thank you. [/quote] :Cough: so yeah. Putting your money where my mouth is I suppose- even if the Mod comes out and confirms 100% he's scum. I'm wondering- Why? Idle has pointed out that his ability is apparently an extra scum kill in exchange for his being revealed. Fair enough. But the Plankton thing? Did another [scum] remove his abilities? And the voting of Hal by Idle. The stating that there's 2 scum left other than Idle. This is all going to be WIFOM... as everything he does, I have to wonder if he does it as an outed scum trying to sow confusion? My guess for now is yes... yes, that's what it appears to be. And I'm still wondering if Idle wants to be lynched toDay for a specific reason- as long a bomb or a joker role?? Why not try to further WIFOM the town and deny his scumminess- then again what's the possible non-scummy motivation for his stuff? I can't see it. Vote Idle Thoughts
Because... well, by his admittance, and the JokerMod- he IS the scummiest person here. Bomb consequences and all.

Sure, I will Cookies. As much as I can, that is. Hold for PM. He has access to the spoilers boards? Or just more WIFOM here bullshitting from him here? Gah! No bunnies now... Shit just got real. -At least with Robin's death we know Scathach is most likely NOT scum (at least on the day Robin checked him out). -And cookies was town after all too. Pollux: What are the benefits of a Mass Claim at this point of the game? It seems like scum seem to have fake PMs or at least some pretty convincing stories ( AskThePizzaGuy; Idle's RoleClaims were both pretty solid- except for the Powers part on Idle's). Because do we want to expose all of our power type roles in exchange for what- trying to read out which of the scum roles are fake? We're still 16 players into a game that started with 31- so just about halfway by my count- but I don't know what's the proper time for a full-claim, so I guess, I'd just like to know more about this idea. As I currently have no opinion on if that's the way to go just due to lack of info- what's the gain/risk's that we're taking by doing this? [oog: And my apologies Lightfoot for needling you or if I bothering you during the game. I hope you don't have any hard feelings, and I'm sorry if I offended you for reals. I hope we can be friends outside of this game. /oog]

Got to go make burgers now; back in a few hours. vote Idle ThoughtsWrong, someone took away your powers. I have the PM right here. I can even screenshot it. But you'll see it reads as I posted above. Since you won't admit to it: Mystery scum 2 (of two) investigated Suburban on Night 3. We found he's a third party player. That's why Mystery scum 1 (of two) took his powers away last night. Do not trust Suburban Plankton. I'm being honest here. We figured he was the best option for taking his powers away last night. No idea why he's not being honest and telling you that..so just know that WHEN THE TIME COMES FOR PEOPLE TO FULL/MASS CLAIM, HE WILL NOT BE ABLE TO USE ANY POWERS HE CLAIMS HE HAS. Of course, he'll probably say he has no powers at all, the sneaky bastid.

Do not trust Suburban Plankton. Why are you telling us this information? And are you claiming one of the scum is a Day Investigator? -I too would like to see a full Role PM by you Idle, but I don't know why you would cooperate. So uh. Yeah. I still am suspicious that you're hiding something else, Idle. FOS Idle?
