After a long burst of static, Pollux appears on the main screen.
"Hello, everyone! Have any of you died yet? No? Well, that's pretty good for a Gastard game I'd say, eh?" Shuffle, shuffle. "Okay, well, Day One has officially started! The person with the most votes is lynched when the Day ends, which I'd say is about....next Monday at 1 PM EST...er EDT. Whatever ST/DT it is right now. You're in space, stop correcting me! Toodles!"
Pollux disappears off the screen.
Before anybody else can react, peekercpa jumps up in front of everybody. "Hey everyone! Guess what?! I AM IRON MAN!" He strikes a heroic pose, but the other players mill about, unsure. Until one speaks up.
"No you're not." "Are too." "You don't look like Stark." "Yeah, and if you are, where's your suit?" "Guys, c'mon....you're not supposed to..." "Actually you look a lot more like Deadpool." "Yeah, you're Wade Wilson, aren't you?" "Shut up! I'm Iron Man!" "No you're definitely Deadpool." "Look everyone! It's Deadpool!"
"....dammit, you guys are no fun."
---
Day One starts now. It will end next Monday at 1 PM EDT (or EST, whatever it currently is. Bah, time!)
peekercpa is Deadpool.
Bids for The Mercenary for Night One are now closed.
Have fun!

Can we take Peeker as Deadpool as gospel? Do we need to specify which vote is for the "normal" vote, which for the merc vote?
I don't think we would have a Anti-lurk role in play with Peeker and Meeko on board.
That being said:
Vote Pleonast
You guys don't have to vote for him. But I remind you, it is day one, and you do have two votes.
Not sure how we are going to find reasons to vote, beyond Pleonast again claiming on Night 0. e
Don't hold grudges. Vote for people based on this game alone.
Can't wait to see how Peeker as Deadpool plays out.

Meeko, that vote feels very umm... impetuous. A knee-jerk reaction, even.
I'll have a run through N0 after I've set up my spreadsheet, and evaluate Pleo's claim and your response. There's ots of time to vote though.

Both votes are the same, you don't need to specify one way or the other, but if you unvote make sure you specify who you're unvoting if you have two votes on the table.

There's ots of time to vote though. Vote early, vote often? Place holder vote? Pressure vote? Policy vote? Lynch the liar? --- And last but not least, the OOG that I will be gone for the next 10 hours or so? UNVOTE PLEONAST Despite noting you give no reason to not vote him, nor offer up a better choice. And seriously where is "lynch the liar" in a gastard game? Does it hold, still, even in this game?

It should be obvious why I claimed. It should be obvious why any non-hostile third-party should claim early. A non-hostile third-party doesn't hurt town; it's a mislynch to lynch us. A non-hostile third-party doesn't hurt scum; it's a waste to a Night-kill to kill us. This only holds water if you ignore/neuter/make-public the third-party's powers, which you apparently are fond of doing or fond of seeming to do. But it is a self-fulfilling prophecy of one strategic path where if other strategic paths were followed, the prophecy might read very differently. I counter that a third-party with powers such as those that you claim could indeed 'hurt' any faction on the field of play in which people aren't toeing the participatory lines laid out in your PM. Exposure can volatile. You seem to prefer to play in an environment where things are deconstructed down to only alignment, votes, and kills. That's your prerogative, but there are other strategies and some of them are arguably more interesting.

I don't see why it wouldn't hold. I also don't see why it's applicable yet.

Peeker = Deadpool is about as mod-confirmed as you can get in this game. <snipped> wait, what? i thought i was ironman? reevaluation of strategy is commenced. plus the blue is making me a touch on the nervous side.

ok, Deadpool doesn't ring any bells with me. is there a history to the name?

Apropos of nothing, but one of the first things the wiki article on Deadpool says is that he's a mercenary.

He's like a 4th wall breaking mercenary in comic books anyway. Don't think I know what game he's from unless guiri listed it on N0.

ok i looked at deadpool on wiki. i guess i can get down with that. he seems to be ripped about the same as me. i don't particularily like the disfigurement part (i've been circumcised and that's about it). the footwear looks a lot like it is too heavy. mentally unstable i can deal with. but the dual katanas look kind of outdoorsy and major cool.

I'm wondering why peeker's character name was revealed, in particular. Random? Highest post count? A whim of our gastardly mod? Did he win the bidding?

Peeker = Deadpool is about as mod-confirmed as you can get in this game. So, in other words, "not necessarily"?

Maybe as a side effect of winning the mercenary's services, peeker's name was revealed?

Wait, are you saying that you didn't know you were Deadpool until now? Or am I misreading?

If I read the rules correctly then the Mod said he wouldn't lie to players but if Peeker had a PM as Iron Man then surely he would need a new PM as Deadpool and his first PM would have been a lie. I really am thinking out loud here. Peeks never said he was Iron Man, the Mod said that in the colour so it could be just a straight forward reveal?

Exposure can BE volatile. shit. tell me about it. So, Peeker, the mercenary? Is it a Town role? I thought I was taking a risk with my bid for the mercenary's powers toNight but it's comforting to know that there's someone crazier, or more confident, than me out there - and they know who they are. So, what was the winning bid, 15 votes? More?

Or am I misreading? i don't pay attention to color very much and comics even less. yes, i knew i was deadpool but also know that i am also supposed to be ironman. well i kind of knew that ironman was some sort of comic dude (i think their may have been a movie) but really thought that deadpool was just random musings. now if i had been named jack nicklaus, tom watson or lee trevino i kind of would have figured that out. plus the only other thing i know about ironman is that he was in an ozzy song.

So, what was the winning bid, 15 votes? More? With 29 players, a bid of 15 would be practically suicidal - you would have to count on a big bandwagon forming on someone else, and hope you got no votes yourself.

So, Peeks. Any idea why your role name has been announced?
And for Pleo - do you think there's dissonance between your quoted alignment/wincon and your claimed powers?

First you posted this, then in your very next post you actually claimed ironmanNow you're claiming both ironman and deadpool, how 'zactly does that work? And Pleo there aren't enough I am awaiting your explanation for why your powers don't seem to advance your or your team's win con.
