I don't want to be spoiled.... yet. Looks like I missed an awesome game It's fun yes. There are no subs in this game. The only way out is with your shields - or on them. Let us know when you want in the spoilered forum.

The Town is still fumbling, but that's to be expected this early in the game. I do hope they do better about voting early to avoid the last day rush. At least there's a lot to talk about--the current claims need to be scrutinized. It's one thing to unvote someone near the end of the Day to avoid lynching a power role. But they really need check the claims for plausibility and consistency. One claim in particular. Interesting that two of the players under significant scrutiny are the ones who were pushing the hardest for that lynch.

I'm a little bugged that we got confirmation of Stan's imprisonment in the color, but none for HM. That could be simply a matter of timing, or could be the pants-on-fireness of her LIES! This is what makes me the most suspicious. arch's role claim seems to be trying match the available evidence, but doing a poor job about it. That screams scum desperately lying to me.

Got to agree with that Pleo, Arch is not telling the truth in my humble opinion. Special ed is also pulling very meta gamey responses out for the lack of his result, but for very meta gamy reason (he missed a PM really??) I think he is talking crap. I guess it is possible he is a town tracker and decided to follow someone else on account of thinking Arch was surely scummy, and has found something he doesn't want to reveal to everyone,so has decided to try and slide past on a 'oopsie made a mistake' excuse.

You must be kidding. I know it's a risk that the rumor may be true and the game could end. but you want to lynch a mason? Are you out of your mind? I thought it's pretty much an unwritten rule around here that game-ending Jesters are extremely lame roles and one can reasonably expect that such a role doesn't exist in any given game. I mean, a game ending on Day 3? Really? You're a better player than that, Ed.

I mean, a game ending on Day 3? Really? You're a better player than that, Ed. I'd only consider it lame if the Town was not given warning. If the players know that lynching a specific player will end the game, then they can work around it. If the bomber can get himself lynched despite the Town knowing about it, I'd consider it a fair win for the bomber. Also, Texcat, please either talk to your fellow mason and convince them to claim toDay (unless they already did and I missed it, I have been doing a hurry up read of the Day so far this morning) because it is exceedingly likely that you are going to be a NK target toNight seeing as how you are the only living claimed mason. If you die without confirming your other masonry partner the scum can convincingly claim mason and essentially end the game. Hmm. I think I disagree in this case. The Town knows there is exactly one more Mason. That Mason does not have to claim now, even assuming texcat dies ToNight (which I think is likely). If a Rebel decides to claim Mason, the last Mason can simply counterclaim. That gives the Town a one-for-one trade, which is always useful for the Town (unless we're at lynch or lose).

Yeah, there are some words or phrases that have been set to pop up when you say certain things. Lame! I really dislike this kind of mucking about by the moderator. Let players say what they want to.

To be fair this isn't me screwing up players deliberately. This is me not bothering to take out previous mod's find/replaces. KidV has dropped out. Any thoughts on whether I should stick with mod kills or allow a sub in? I don't really want too much of this game decided by mod kills, but it is probably too late for subs to work well.

Sorry, I wasn't intending to point my smelly finger at you specifically, Hawkeye. There's a reason you I use the generic term "moderator". If KidV has told your explicitly he's out, you should mod-kill him. If he's simply not participated for a while, better to let the players eliminate him.

Well, that sucks. Better than simply wandering off without a word, though.
Make it a quick kill, so that whichever side he's on can adjust. It may be better to not reveal his alignment. I'm not spoiled, so I can't be more specific. Something to consider.

On preview: what peek said. Boy, I wish I had your knack for clear and pithy communication. Early nomination for best post of the game. It's funny regardless of whether or not the irony is intentional. "Whether or not the irony is intentional," forsooth. Everything I posted was intentional. That was a really cool role - thanks hawkeye. At the start of Day 3, I honesty thought I was screwed because a) I'd been locked out the game for a whole Day and so lost my momentum and b) HM's reveal of the jail colour made archangel look none more scummy. But luckily NAF's reveal of my existence made paranoia the order of the day, and I was able to use speculation about my absence to soft-claim Merc. Or Thief. I'm not picky. The fact that activity slowed right down in the last 24 hours was a bonus as well - I was worried that I'd peaked too early, and that more scrutiny would cost me votes, but as it turned out I didn't have to post at all today. What I don't understand is why everybody believed my account of my jailing - I was expecting to pick up suspicion for contradicting HockeyMonkey, but it was taken as gospel. (In deference to the fact that this an unspoiled thread, I'm not going to say what really happened to me in the big house.) Natlaw spotted that my Mason vote was a clear attempt to get lynched - I hesitated over doing it, but my experience is that town will always freak out if you propose something radical, so I figured it would be worth it.

Yeah, real nice play - I mean there was talk and paranoia all Day about there's a terrorist who wants to gets lynched and you have mass votes in no-time by posting a one-liner. Brilliant really ;D. I played just too much town, I should have played more in the background. But I guess I not good at making meaningless posts.

Let us know if you want spoilers? Yes please! I played just too much town, I should have played more in the background. But I guess I not good at making meaningless posts. Yes and no. The other factor in your demise was that you weren't drawing much attention. There are various controversies between various posters that are creating more heat than light, and I certainly didn't want to bring those to a premature halt. My plan was to take out a quiet but engaged and analytic townie - you did too good a job of fitting that bill.

I still think archangel needs to be lynched. And I'd be happy to see CaptPink get it as well. Both are playing very anti-Town.
And the last Mason--sheesh, very poor play, but I can't say anything more here.

Ok, I haven't been following the game the past few days, and I come back and see a Mason was lynched. I don't usually swear, but WTF!?
Anyone want to recap while I read the Day Four thread?

Well, skimming through it looks like the lynch was the equivalent of a mod-kill, because spintari didn't seem to be playing. Why wasn't there a Mason claim? Very disappointing.
I'm not hopeful for the Town at this point. Well, let's look at the numbers. If there started 6 Rebels, it's 4 now. With 14 players left, that gives (10 - 4) / 2 = 3 mislynches. That's not too bad, I guess.

I may not be around this afternoon, and I feel a giant masonic bulls eye on my forehead, so I wanted to give my final spin on things now. I am not outting our final mason. I think it better that they remain incognito for now. Just one more thing I was wrong about. Yuck!

Shhh! Trying to use brevity wrapped in misdirection doesn't work. Believe me, I have the neck wound to prove it. If you don't hit people with the cast iron frying pan of obviousness, you're "not playing".

Spin, why didn't you claim Mason? It would have saved the Town a mislynch and increased the confirmed pool.
