I'm not implying that anything is a politician. I'm explicitly stating that someone's critter might be a politician. Of course, it might be a one-shot ability, a conditional ability, or something else entirely. Hell, it could be the mods tormenting brokentree for giggles. Olimar's pikmin are Olimar's critters.... You just lost nerd points Kat.

the imply would be implying that the role is Olimar as that's the only other character in the game I can think of that has critters.

What in the world is a pikmin and what do they do?
I mean I assume a lot of this is only color and just because someone/something has canon behind it does not make it so in the game. However, having said that it is still confusing to me. Absolutely no clue at the moment. Except that the staff thing appears to be positive. The only other time I remember seeing a role like that was when the newly dead were unidentified. So it allowed for acceleration of role determination. Maybe this is something twistied off that concept.

Captain Olimar became their leader when he crash-landed on the planet in Pikmin, and again in Pikmin 2 when he scoured the planet for treasure. He was able to use various numbers of Pikmin for various tasks, such as killing dangerous creatures and carrying treasure/ship parts, because, even though each individual Pikmin is small and weak, when gathered in large numbers, they can do mighty things. Here's a picture: www.4colorrebellion.com/media/pics/jan/pikmin_battery.jpgThe pikmin are the creature carrying the battery, and yes, that is actual size.

In Brawl, his power levels correlate to how many pikmin he has out and whether or not the player uses each color's strength properly, similar to Pikmin 2. However, unlike in Pikmin 2, he can only have 6 pikmin out at once.

Only if you think it does not have relevant info and we can risk losing it if you would get killed. On your role in general, the information gathering feels like a town power, but I can also see it as a way for SCUM to gain cover roles and as bonus a chance to out a power role. I'll give this much. The role I got on Night One was a rejected Town power role. Now in my opinion, releasing a Town role to public does little to help the pro-Town side of things. On the other hand, it gives Scum a better idea of what the Town has at their disposal and what they could be looking for to Nightkill. I had no problems releasing a rejected Scum role because it gives the Town a better idea of what types of scum we could be up against. In case of what? If you die, we'll never know anyway. See above. In addition, I feel like it's a strategic maneuver. The extra information I have can be useful in sussing out whether role claims are faked or not, but becomes useless if revealed before a role claim. If the scum know all of what isn't in the game, they can adjust their fake claims accordingly. For all we know, they may have been given cover roles that might be names of characters I can find. I feel like keeping the information to myself for now is more beneficial in keeping the scum on their toes. If I feel it's important to release a role I've found to help determine a role claim's authenticity, I'll release it so everybody can judge. Hmmm...this begs the question -- do more bodies have things to share, or did Pollux luck out by hitting that one first try? I personally don't know. I didn't even know I could find stuff in the first place. I just thought I'd be getting unused roles. Since there are 10 bags I can search through and I doubt the game is expected to run 10 days, my personal guess is there's at least one other item I can find to make a 1 in 5 chance of me getting something from the beginning.

Ok. I think I finally made a connect. You get not used roles, right. But the first reveal you make happens to have something that is in this game.
Sounds pretty plausible. Knowing pede. Kind of a cool mechanic if you really think about. Ok. I am suitably impressed.

Did it mention the 'well intended' Hoopy Frood mentioned? Otherwise it could also be a role block (but you probably had notice of that, unless a block for you doesn't block your pokémon, which I doubt).. Yeah, it explicitly said someone was trying to protect me. brokentree, do you have any thoughts on anything? I know you can't vote, but you can still contribute. The triple vote for brokentree still makes me wonder. Maybe whomever it was just decided not to use their power last Night? Or else, recieved a mysterious item like Pollux and decided to test it out? It could have been a one-shot item.

We know Sinjin was town....with a power role...why the number 6? and what does that make Parzival with only a 1? Or does any of this matter?

I wasn't planning on saying this since I didn't want to reveal even more about my role, but the first night I received a mysterious Pokeball. I wouldn't know what it was until I used it, so, naturally I used it. Apparently Snorlax can block people's votes. I'm not saying brokentree isn't scum (because she very well may be), but I don't feel she should get the heat for something I did.

Yeah, it explicitly said someone was trying to protect me. Mine did, too, hence why I referred to it as well-intentioned. Although mine said I had a small shield of dirt covering me rather than being in a pit. I thought it might be Sinjin due to the "mystical shield" listed in her death color, but I wanted to see who else found themselves in dirt before I mentioned the shield thing.

Another page list a Judge attack for that character - only slightly relevant thing is that is mention that higher numbers occur less often. So I guess pedescribe made a mapping from number to role or maybe alignment, with each giving a different number and it is a sort of investigating power. So a six stands maybe for a protection role or a town power role, etc. At this point it not much use I think, so not sure why brokentree shared it now.

The numbers might indicate the power of the role in question. If this is case, I don't think brokentree should divulge anything about anyone still alive.

Ok, so you tagged Parzival with a 1, which Natlaw link describes as:
So it seems like that this is a rather bad thing for the person wielding the hammer -- I guess it's not unreasonable to figure that's why you've lost your voting ability for the day. It's still a little odd that the mods didn't make your restriction public, but I'm more or less appeased.
Unvote brokentree...(Sorry FCOD)
It's also quite likely that hitting Sinjin with a "6" killed him. That being the case, I'd ask a favor: Watch where you point that thing!![/i]

Anyway, most of the talk Today so far is people playing in dirt and finding lost items, so I'll start placing some votes to get back on track of lynching someone Today (hopefully SCUM)! I'll start with misterblockey: So Brokentree has three points against.. him?... but not actual votes. anyone want to talk about that? Of course we want to talk about it! In the end the votes are what counts. But do you want to share your ideas about it? So have we learned anything? Of course we learned something! Everyone was right about special ed being SCUM. Not too useful, but neither is your comment. To be honest I have to say that this discussion on where scum would place ed in their vote yesterday is bordering on the ridiculous. The one thing I've noticed a lot of though is people saying some form of: The scummiest thing would be to vote ed in x position, and I even did that. Yup, if everyone starts saying the same thing, how do we tell them apart? Do you see a better way to look at the masons votes Day One, or doing that ridiculous? (I also notice you're using the recently discovered 'I'll be honest' lie-tell twice )Also I'm finding all these secondary votes a huge glass of WIFOM. Really, I would think they were the real value of Day Two, because with everyone voting special ed first, we can use the other votes to tell people apart. roxis is just pinging me a little. I don't know if the confusion is feigned or not, but it's only the lowest level vote I voted MHaye Day Two, because I thought his roxis vote wasn't argued too well. Your reason is just because she is pinging you - maybe you can pin it down a bit more? 1. Triple vote for misterblockyMostly for encouraging everyone else to talk, but not saying much yourself.

So...wait...I'm confused -- who did you target with your Pokéball*, Aubby or brokentree? brokentree. Aubby was the result of sachertorte, I believe.

Hey sorry for not posting the last day or so, verry busy at work. So after catching up, if I got this right. pollux can find out what SSMB characters were cut from being in this game, and found a staff, td patriots lost or is in need of a staff, brokentree can not vote cause he was blocked by roxis who also gained another pokemon ball. Well that is alot, though I do find my self wanting to ask a few things.
1st if the staff came from a cut from the game PFK, which a jester is. But can be given and used in the game. So would it be another PFK, since that is who you got it from, or a TOWN player that you need to hand it to? I know it is hard to say, but it is some food for thought.
2nd how exactly did you roxis get another ball? I just am curious as to whether another player gave it to you, that you are unware of or just through out the game aparently you will be given more. It just seems odd to get another ball out of the blue. So I am curious as to why and how, though i do realize that you may or maynot even know your self.
I also have to say on one hand it is easier to read the last day with ed's post's gone but on the other, it makes it harder, because half the post's were in regards to his. And with his now gone, that makes reading it a bit hard to understand the context of what was said. And therefore to get a read on most people from that day. Or atleast I find it that way.

Ok. Sorry for the lack of engagement. RL has truly interfered. I've got to say, at this point, nothing is really sticking out. I know that it is not contributory but that's what I've got right now. I do commit with having a vote and reasons no later than tomorrow. I have to travel tonight so it will be pm manana until I have time to do justice to an educated response/vote.
