I do not know. I didn't see anything in the opening post of the waiting room thread.

SQUEEK (It's posted on pretty much every vote count: either both are lynched or no one is lynched.)

Oh, I thought maybe that was it but then I for some reason decided that was the tiebreaker mechanism from Evil Dead.

I win when all threats to Town are dead, and I have the ability to take over the powers of a dead player of my choice. I chose the Doc. I've had 2 chances to use the power so far (Night 5 and Night 6) and I protected BillMcBatman both times. Let's just say that I came darn close to vigging Masons a couple of times. And let's just say that having that option along with frustration, doubt, and concern about how they've played is a rather volatile position to be in, but I managed to meditate on it and transcend the lure of the powers of darkness. I also went back and forth with the Mods a lot because there weren't many roles that were transparent as to what powers I'd be getting, so I eventually just stuck with the conservative play. Well that certainly explains no deaths on N6. I was pretty certain I wouldn't see today with Rorschach being potentially out of power - and I think I would have been the prime target for scum - kill me, foster the air of doubt over zedd etc. So that leaves us with Meeko/Paul and Elizabeth to claim - both I think are more scummy than cookies

Why are we lynching Iskaral, a claimed PFK, when we have a PFK governor alive?
I mean, why don't we just vote no lynch?
ugh

I don't know -- Ratty could always decide to let me swing, in the hopes (or the knowledge, perhaps) that there's yet another of us out here who might have a better chance than me. I'm not going to win the game. But then a lost lynch is still a lost lynch, you know?

The fact that the idea of a redirect still has to be pulled out of you as if it is against your will speaks precisely to part of the problem I've had with the Masons all game. Even-handed consideration of all possibilities would be appreciated, is pro town, and is the smart thing to do. But no, you're the closest thing the game has to a confirmed voting block, and the conclusion you jump to is that I'm lying, and you're wrong, again. <snipped> hey, i've already said that i thought puffy was redirected to batty on the party Night. i was merely espousing how it didn't necessarily have to be an all killer redirect that put the three killers there. maybe so, maybe no but not necessarily slam dunkish. and "lying" is probably to strong a term. apologies for the inflammatory characterization. can we just say that your claimed action is in direct conflict with information that the masons received from the moderators of this game? that better?

I don't know -- Ratty could always decide to let me swing, in the hopes (or the knowledge, perhaps) that there's yet another of us out here who might have a better chance than me. I'm not going to win the game. But then a lost lynch is still a lost lynch, you know? PFK to PFK: we're it.

Did someone hear something squeak? I guess this forum needs some oil unless it's run by hamsters like the SDMB, in that case someone feed them please.

That is quite unfortunate. Because we're not winning on my account. I'll let you guess which version of the mad bomber win condition I have. It's about time to start posting recipes and Iskaral Pust quotes, I think.

Seriously, though, Raj, you want to lynch me? Then your vote is in the right place. But if you think there's the slightest chance you're wrong about the mechanism -- and I'm not telling, either way -- you should either Vote Elizabeth or Vote Meeko, because I guarangoddamnedtee I'm not going to stop either of their lynches.)

It's about time to start posting recipes and Iskaral Pust quotes, I think. You'll forgive me if I don't trust you. And, to everyone else. PLEASE! VOTE FOR DEATH OF RATS! 1. If we don't she will stop Iskaral's lynch. Why wouldn't she? 2. If we do, she may not be allowed to stop her own lynch. Even if she can, we don't lose anything, it will be the same as stopping Iskaral's lynch. Good lord, even Dirx would understand what I'm saying if he weren't decaying in his trenchcoat

But -- so far as we know -- you're not the only killer out there, and I alone am not a threat to Scum, but I am not alone. So why not add to the WIFOM? WIFOM For Everybody!) SQUEEK (Seriously. You can try to take either of us out again, and Scum could potentially try to take either of us out, but why don't we band together toDay and take out Scum? Shit, if more people think Meeko's Scummy than Elizabeth, I even promise to switch my vote!)

good lord. If we lose because we wasted a lynch toDay, I'll have no recourse but to blame this on Dirx/Columbo.

Yes, for those who don't know. I have a 16-18 record in games Dirx has not played in. I'm 2-10 in games he has played in. Therefore, either I'm a bad player, or it's Dirx's fault. I choose to believe it's Dirx's fault

We've been considering a faster turnover to the Day.
If you want to go to a faster turnover, you may do so.
Players who wish to shorten the Day should say so, by posting in the thread a declaration that they want the Day shortened. A player may change their mind about this as often as they wish. It needs to be noticeable, so I'm going to ask that you post your statement in bold green text.
If 75% or more of the players (which, with 14 alive, means 11 players) unite in asking for the Day to be shortened, a 24 hour countdown will start at the timestamp of the post. When the countdown finishes, Night will fall.
Night 7 will last the normal 48 hours.
Thereafter, beginning with Day 8, Days will last 36 hours and Nights 24.
If the Day ends without a 75% vote in favour of shortening Days, the game carries on as normal, ie with 120 hour Days and 48 hour Nights. However, the surviving players have the option of voting for speeding up the Day/Night cycle each Day, with a threshold of 75% in agreement required to implement the proposal.
The only downside, from the mod team's point of view, is that we won't necessarily be able to guarantee someone will be on hand to close Day or Night at the relevant time. In such cases, the Day or Night is extended until one of us comes by.

OK, and I do have to admit, it's possible that we can lose to Iskaral toNight, but she's going to survive the lynch. Death of Rats will make sure of that
