I haven't seen any crustaceans, but there was a lizard wandering around earlier. I might go along with a vote for the monkey orangutan librarian since he took my wine away, but then he brought us all of these other things. I know an ex-soldier in need of a glass eye, but I am not sure I'll ever escape from this party to give it to him. Vote: Boopsie [/color] For the following reasons. Being wishy washy but still willing to vote for the 'tang when there is really no reason to vote for him in the first place as SC pointed out. But mainly for trying to escape from this lovely party. Neither the opening color nor my pm says anything about having to "escape." That leads me to believe that Boopsie's pm is decidedly different from mine.[/quote] No. The opening color indicates that we are trying to escape.
The latter sheet describes your special rules. It finishes “Remember – the only way out is through.” The instructions tell you to convene in the ballroom at 8:00pm sharp. As you stand to leave you feel ... strange. Like you are twisting. Changing. Becoming something you are not. With horror, you realise that your body is transforming itself so that you become the role that you have chosen for yourself. You realise that this is what Mister Blockey meant. To get back to your own form, you have to win the game. And if you lose? You have a feeling that you don't want to find out. (credit for the above to MHaye)

Blockey's quote just says that we need to win the game to get our own forms back, not that we have to "escape" the mansion.
I can see an argument for "the only way out is through" indicating that we need to escape, but I think that's kind of a stretch, too.

Now see here: if you have an issue with someone, you take it up face to face, man to man. Going around in the dark and hiring someone else to crack a knee cap? That ain't right, dangit! Vote: Tonya Harding I was never there! I was in the car with that skunk of a husband. I had nothing to do with that attack! Besides, that !!%?! ice princess got what she deserved.

[oog -- How do you directly quote posts around here? I'll have to fake it. Quote is from pedescribe.]
Oook ook oook.
*the ape nods with respect at the quiet one* (Clever one he is, watch him.) *he pulls a crumpled piece of paper from some obscure fold of L-space and examines it closely, then pantomimes an elaborate skit involving a lot of digging, and paddling (the oar comes in handy again), and swimming, and gurgling. It's harder than the rebus, but the others eventually recognize the plot of any basic escape film, with a little drowning tacked on for flavor.*
Oook ooook ook ook. (No escape, confirmed.)

Ook ook ook ook ook.
*the librarian, his few moments of amusement aside, has been growing increasingly morose throughout the day. He sits in the corner like a sack of potatoes, muttering to hiimself, his arms and legs flopped to the side as if he were a huge and ungainly marionette with its strings cut. He sighs, finally, and blows a raspberry. Can't be helped.*
Oook ook. Oook ook ooook ook. Ooook.
*the bag he'd brought in before has one last item left in the bottom of it. He pulls it out, and the implication is clear enough. Mournful brown eyes meet those of everyone else in the room. The ape is holding a pepper mill.*
(I claim Miller. I'd have preferred to wait until more information was out there to claim so as not to risk wasting the Day, but I won't be back to comment or vote again until a few hours before the deadline, and that wouldn't be fair. With a relatively small game like this I don't want to risk a wasted investigation. Up to you all what you want to do with this, but as for me:)
Oook.

Also, seconding a request for a vote count.

Well.
I was going to vote nphase, but now redskeezix has come up with something I hadn't considered, and now I have to think about this.
Personally, I'm of the opinion that Millers are the night killers' problems, not Town's. Even if there is more than a whiff of iocaine in the air.
It's a closed setup, skeezix, so we have no ideas what roles are in the game.
Finally, there was no mention of escaping this mansion in my PM, either. Given all of that, I think I'm going to

I think I will move my vote in this direction while I contemplate the Boopsie situation. It's always best to deal with a Miller early on, but generally it's better if we can generate some information while we do it.

Forgot about Jester I did. And in game this small, win stealing jester a possibility is. Vote stay where is for now, but move it later probably I will. If lynch miller we don't, vig only way to take him out. Unlikely to kill miller for us scum are. Meditate on this I will.

Post by Høøpy Frøød on Oct 14, 2009 17:07:56 GMT -5
Back I am. Think on this I have. Points I will make:
1) If Jester our Librarian be, why make Miller claim? Why not just "ook" at us all Day, hm? Annoying that would be. Being both unhelpful and annoying at the same time best plan to get lynched I would think. "Ook"ing already garnered him one vote before claim it did.
2) To put win-stealing Jester in game without announcement is gastard. Experienced mods have we. See them doing that I can't. Crazy setup no doubt. But Gastard? No. Not to mention that make game boring win-stealing Jesters do. End too quickly it will.
So, regardless Jester or Miller him be, scum not likely to take him out. If scum claiming Miller to WIFOM us he be, lynch him we must. If town honestly claiming Miller he be, no way to confirm him town, so lynch him we should. If win-stealing Jester he is, lame this game is and ending it early be good. If normal Jester he is, lynch this distraction will remove.
So keep my vote where it is I will.

Sorry, I was paraphrasing the opening color. It was beginning to look like I was at this party with a bunch of odd and violent creatures. "Escape" just came more naturally out of my keyboard than finding "the only way out" or getting "back to your own form".
I am going over to the corner to do my yoga. I need to relax.

I don't know, I'm kind of believing the miller claim. I still don't like the escape thing. I thought the point was that we needed to get our own identities back. I could see an evil doer with a power costume and the powers that go with that power wanting to escape. Although I'm not clear on what kind of super-powers a Boopsie would have.
[oog]I'm getting over the flu. I was off work for a week, but am now back but really, really tired. Sleeping 12 hours a night, dragging myself thru lectures, registering the clueless for class next year and napping doesn't leave me a lot of time to do other things. Oh and I have 9 people coming into town on Friday to spend the weekend at my placeto spend the weekend, w00t. *pulls cover back over head*[/oog]

Right, I am not happy with the Librarian lynch. I think he should be left to the vig.
On the other hand, I am also not particularly satisfied with the Boopsie lynch. On the one hand, I could see how it would be a slip. On the other, that's what I thought the opening color meant too. I'd prefer it to the L lynch, but not by much.
Hmm...I think right now I will vote for Tonya Harding. Her only post so far was a bandwagon hopping, with nary a single thing to add to it besides her vote. Ideal for a scum who wants to hide. Vote: Tonya Harding

Right, I am not happy with the Librarian lynch. I think he should be left to the vig. Of Vig's existence we do not know. If leave Miller for vig we do, confirm vig existence in game we will. In game this small, help scum it will. Also if scum fake claim, leave scum alive for night we do. Allow scum to possibly use power. If Town Miller lynch, one mislynch we lose. If Town Miller vigged, half mislynch we lose and vig existence exposed. If Scum lynch, no mislynch we earn. If scum vigged, half mislynch we earn and vig existence exposed. But then again, if one-shot vig existed, great play for one-shot vig it would be. So by extension, good play for regular vig it would be even with exposure of role's existence. Torn I am. See good points and bad points of both options I do.

I agree with Yoda on 2 points.
1. On second thought, a hidden Jester seems unlikely.
2. We might not be so hasty to expose the existence of a Vig.
Plus there is another reason to lynch the Miller, instead of relying on a possible vig to take of it: The possible existence of a Scum Coroner, Redirector, or Doc.
(I think these hold true whether the Librarian is a scum or a miller.)
If the coroner exists and the body count is high tonight, they know which body to examine to determine the Vig.
If a Redirector exists, the miller will act as a lightning rod enabling an additional scum kill tonight, which with the small number of players could be a deciding factor in the game.
If a Doc exists, it means we waste a NK, and have to lynch the Librarian tomorrow, just to deal with the possibility that it's a scum false claim.
These are just possibilities, the only thing I'm sure of is that there isn't a whole lot of information other than the Librarian has claimed miller, Tonya Harding hasn't posted much, and Boopsie made an apparent presumption error (Or some of us didn't quite grok her meaning).
Unvote: Boopsie
Vote: Librarian

[Gets off her yoga mat] More relaxed now. I am thinking that I don't have a better vote than the librarian, which is really sad cause I almost believe his miller claim and I've become fond of his cute ape ooking. In general, I think millers must die. They are a detriment to the town. (Sorry, librarian, the casting director did you in, if you are, in fact, cast as a miller.) And no, my PM, did not say anything about casting directors, that's just me extrapolating from my brief stint in film. If we knew that we had a vig, we could leave it to the vig. Although, a one-shot vig might be better off saving his one-shot for a more confirmed scum. A forced vig is real trouble, and as Miss Scarlett says, I'll worry about that toMorrow. I fear it might be a mis-lynch, but I still think millers need to die, and it would be better than mis-lynching a power role, and even better than mis-lynching a vanilla, and so I will Vote: the librarian
Where did that guy in the bathrobe go? Did he find a cup of soothing herbal tea?
