On that note I'm going to bed- after I find the mind bleach this is not supposed to be an easy endeavor. matter of fact i think this will take a touch more insightfulness.

And he is dead.... his face, covered in blood! The vile serpent has killed him, yes, but not the true prince, guardian of the innocent. No, for I, I possess the golden scepter. This scepter that I wield is known throughout the land, and you will all BEND ONE KNEE and PRAISE YOUR GUARDIAN LORD.
Do not question me, o little folk, for my ravings are not that of the spawn of Satan. These are the words of the one true messiah. YOU WILL TAKE HEED OF ME, lest evil befall ye. Your rhetoric doth not dissuade me, nor threats, for I am the SON OF THE LAMB. PRAISE BE UPON ME.
Go back to thy earthly business and ignore him that which curseth mine name. For I will rend him asunder, using only the mightiest of potted plants with the sort of floral arrangement which reminds you of that one summer with that boat trip where that guy did that thing.
AMEN

Silly moderator, starting the game on the weekend. I'm never around on the weekend. Anyway, I haven't read anything past the opening post.
I think it's useful for me to do a full claim. It should be readily apparent why:
So, I embody this game's mechanic against lurker. I don't think it'll be useful to reveal who I'm investigating, to keep the lurker worried. I will of course counter-claim anyone who lies to my knowledge. But it will be public if I ever get someone to stage 3, so there's that.
Also, the post "restriction" on this role means I will be deviating from my usual omnibus posting style. Sorry in advance for the post spam.

Are you serious? You're claiming "spammer" and you'll meet your claimed wincon if you post as much as Peeker and Meeko three Days in a row? Where's the challenge in that? Why would you care about lurkers if they help you towards your wincon?
Pre-vote Pleo

Post by wombat99 on Sept 17, 2012 10:09:51 GMT -5
Yeah.... no. Pleo's claim does not compute. With those win conditions, he'd be hoping for lurkers.
He could have a role with a post requirement, though, and is using this to explain his upcoming change in posting style.

Pre-vote Pleowell i can't speak for meeko but i can durn assure you that he won't come close to me in posts. i'll even pull a gettysburg if necessary although those shenanigans got redacted/removed by some admin thingy. but you are dead on that his powers seem to contradict his wincon. and why does this feel more like D1 than N0?

It is my understanding that Pleonast had a record of early claims that were always true.
Everyone should understand that in the Marathon game his early claim was false (as was his later claim).

Win ConditionYou are third-party. You win if either of the following conditions are met: 1. You are in the top 50% of posters for post count for at least five total Days. 2. You are in the top 15% of posters for post count for three consecutive Days. So, I embody this game's mechanic against lurker. I don't think it'll be useful to reveal who I'm investigating, to keep the lurker worried. I will of course counter-claim anyone who lies to my knowledge. But it will be public if I ever get someone to stage 3, so there's that. [/quote] I don't understand what your motivation would be to use your powers with your stated wincon. It's entirely irrelevant to you what people's roles are.

Is it wrong that my iPad already auto completes Pleonast by the time I type out P-l-e ?

One thing is probable. Pleonast will be the subject of much debate in the first day. My money (not that I have any) says that is his primary objective.

It's not even Day 1, ferthecryinoutloud. so you don't think this interaction has any relevance. we all have our pms so i think that whether you call it N0, D1, or a drive to grandma's house really means much. other than the fact that it means a lot.

Also, the post "restriction" on this role means I will be deviating from my usual omnibus posting style. Sorry in advance for the post spam. 1. Assuming that your role is real, and I don't, sucks to be you come the weekend. 2.The bean counting to,you win-con is a logistics nightmare. No offense to Peeker et al. 3. I flat out don't think, if the role was even considered it would survive in consideration beyond the extended marathon game, beyond the second round of sign ups. Pollux would come to his senses before then. 4.How will the win con actually trigger? That is to say, since when is a win-con the same as "MOMMY! MOMMY! LOOK WHAT A DREW TODAY MOMMY!!" There is no way Pollux would go through with this if he thought it through. He's Gastard, not Masochisitic. 5. Real life Happens. This game will probably touch Thanksgiving. You will probably lurk at some point Again, there will be a week when I won't be playing. I can't be the only one. Pollux would not risk this.
