Yeah, I'd like to know a bit more about this name reveal.
peeker, were you one of those possible 'dual-role' players who just got pushed one way or the other?
Also, did you know there was going to be an announcement of your role?
Tempted to vote to get answers, but I prefer to stick votes on the people I think are scum. With two split votes, that makes it possible to make a political move while still highlighting someone you don't think will make it. I kind of like it, except for other things playing with the vote counts (like the merc, which at least we know about).
And it's still early. A little time to look through N0 to get things going.

vote peekercpa until an explanation for the name reveal and/or their role is given. 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. Independent of my role in this game, I do not have sympathy for players who deliberately avoid posting. It's anti-game and unfun. The fact that my role can do something about it is very pleasing. And players who don't want to be subject to my investigate can easily circumvent it. By you know, actively playing the game. That's a win for all players on all sides, as far as I'm concerned. And for Pleo - do you think there's dissonance between your quoted alignment/wincon and your claimed powers? Not really. Posting more encourages others to post more. So my win conditions match my color perfectly. As for my powers, potential death doesn't seem to discourage non-participants, so maybe public revelation will. It's certainly incentivized Cookies. 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. I have no explanation. That's the role given to me. Ask the game designer after the game is over if you feel it's poorly done. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ Anyway, unless I hear an overwhelming number of players disagreeing, I'm going to be using my powers to confirm myself. So, I'm going to be posting the minimal number of posts to enable that. If need be, I'll post my responses to the Day at Night, when the number of posts don't matter.

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? Whew! Glad I'm not the only one wondering!

Boo! I get the feeling you're going to be dead before Day 3 anyway pleo, so use your powers for something useful as long as you can.

So, Pleo you’re going to play your game your way
If you have the powers you claim it will be 3 Days “ wasted” to prove yourself publically (If you live that long) with little to no benefit to Town and a negative effect on your claimed win-con.
Well.. that makes perfect sense………………

No one but you gets the investigation info until/unless you investigate that same person 3 consecutive times. Even if you tell us your results Night 1 & Night 2, how do we know it's true? And.....are you saying you are planning on investigating yourself 3x in a row?? Something is rotten in the Space Station Nexus........

I don't necessarily see Pleo's PM as contradictory with respect to his claimed powers and win conditions for one reason:
Non-participation happens.
Sometimes it happens in the best of games and to the best of players and for non game-related reasons. A Mod trying to design a role (and an apparently neutral role at that) with mechanics to work with this assumption rather than trying to design a game based on the (faulty) premise that non-participation won't happen makes sense to me.

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? i've got an idea but am not 100 percent sure. i went back to my pms from the mog and it kind of is confusing to me. but yeh apparantly on reread i am ironman/deadpoolcrud they seem to be discongruent. maybe you can call me sybil.

i think i claimed ironman in N0 Why are you saying you "think" you claimed ironman N0? 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. i was actually arfing with you folks. but now on further consideration it does seem to be prescient.

vote peekercpa until an explanation for the name reveal and/or their role is given. <snipped> i think you need to talk to mog about that. but i do have a niggling suspicion. it's certainly something i would not have posted.

Just now saw Pleo's role claim... I am a bit confused about why he should even bother to claim?
I smell something fishy about his claim, to be honest... I don't buy it

Glad I'm not the only one wondering! keep wondering. i wonder about sunrises and sunsets. i wonder about how enjoyable a meal is with someone you love. i wonder why the beach is actually nicer when it turns cooler. i wonder why the trees get so beautiful this time of year. i wonder why my dogs decide to fart only after getting in bed with me at night. i wonder why soups seem to taste better on reheat. i wonder why a chili dog and fritos at a baseball game with your kids is about as good things get. mostly i wander.

Let's say Peeker really is Iron Man... Maybe Deadpool is the character inside, and Peeker could have unlocked a power....
How, not sure.... Maybe a post requirement or something...
But why would it be announced?

It occurs to me that all of the discussion all these roles inevitably stirs up is really going to get in the way of hunting Scum.
Is this something that is taken into consideration when balancing the game?

Is this something that is taken into consideration when balancing the game? I'm sure it is but this game isn't as cut and dried as we are used to being relatively new players. We also have some strong personalities (peeker) which I think adds an interesting dynamic and provides a challenge Sent from my SCH-I405 using proboards

In my experiences- Day one is Slow- as a mod I usually throw a monkey wrench in the works to change that-the set up for this game practically demanded that sort of shenanigans-
although the Mod may not have known that Pleo was going to play and brings 'is own early
So we have 2 count them 2 things so far to stir up the Day ( not counting the other characters that just bring it every Day anyway )
Note to Rich it gets people typing- we can't find them if they don't type-
