Has anyone seen or heard from BlaM? He hasn't said anything at all since Day One and I don't remember him being locked up, killed or otherwise taken out of the game. If modkillz are in play then he's certainly looking like a candidate. I hope everything is OK with him personally.

If modkillz are in play then he's certainly looking like a candidate. I hope everything is OK with him personally. When I first viewed the board this morning (while caffeinating) I saw he was on the list of posters who had viewed the boards in the last 24 hours. Yes I hope he's alright irl too. He didn't post at all in Day 2, and that's usually a sign of rl hiccups. Let us know how things are, BlaM? besides, it's no fun hanging you if you're not around

So RtR, are you claiming a survivor-type role then? Didn't I already go over this with the Santo Rugger PM I received last this morning? Or are people simply ignoring what i've been saying (in which case, good on you I suppose).... But here's the scoop one more time- I'm outside the boundaries of the Game. I don't care WHO Wins- Town OR Scum, and frankly that's not what I'm here for. I'm here personally waging a war against the MODS. So you guys continue to play your mafia game, while I continue to deal with the restrictions and attempts at getting me from the Mods. Sure, my dealings with the mods MAY involve you players sometimes, but on the most part, I'm just an agent of chaos here to liven things up. But since I like watching mafia games, that's pretty much what I'm doing here. I'm observing this game- but I can influence it with votes, my thoughts, etc. But yes, I suppose if you want to think of it as a "survivor" sort of role... it IS similar. Except that I'll still be here at the end of the game no matter what. It's just whether or not I've succeeded in my Mod dealings that matter to me and not the outcome of Your game. Klutz , my Swedish friend- The DoucheMod is known by many names. The fact that you don't know which Mod i'm referring to, makes me think you're skimming through my posts in previous days, or simply do not recall them. There is the lazy mod, the getting married mod, El Conqy Mod, and DoucheMod. The Color is there because I realized that the color reminds me of piss, the very color that sums up the DoucheMod's piss-poor modding abilities. (If you still don't get it. Just quote any "piss colored" text and you should see why it's that color. Pleo- I didn't claim on Day 1, because I'm NOT Pro-Town. I'm ANTI-MOD. I'm half tempted to start helping out the scum and giving out Scum advice once the trigger activates. Try to understand that: I'm NOT PLAYING your game of MAFIA. I'm an outside force to it. You've already lost one whole Day (though there are GREAT nuggets of info to be gleaned from people's behavior/vote toDay during my Claiming) on Me, I can only hope you don't lose further Days. If you focus on ME, you WILL Lose the Game. That goes to ALL sides playing this game- Scum, PFK, Town. Mr. Scummyboots esq- yes, I may have no internet after the 15th, but I'll TRY to be actively avoiding the none participation. I mean, public libaries are one source, and I did get a new laptop- so perhaps I can find a free wi-fi source. I'm just saying my participation will drop after the 15th to an unknown level, so I will not be as easily able to analyze, advise, and help out you guys and will most likely focus on just my Mod tasks/argueings/dealings with them.

Also, no you didn't play marbles with me (I think--too lazy to search the day one thread, but I'm pretty sure I remember correctly). Incidentally, that was one of the reasons I claimed day 1. I didn't want to cause an epidemic of people dropping dead two months in (although the way this game is going, that might have sped it up). Fair enough. Actually, two birds with one stone, as I've been kinda curious about this from Day 1.... Borrows the Creepy Doll from Hockey. "Hey, Sarah! Want to play a game? You Do?! Excellent! It's call Kissy-Kissy!" *Rubs the Creepy Doll on pedescribe 's face* "Here, Kissy-Kissy! Kissy-Kissy! Mmmmwha! Kissy-Kissy!Kissy-Kissy!" *Hands Creepy Doll back to HockeyMonkey*. There ya go. Lemme know if anything happens in 2-3 Months.
*Nonchalantly Feeds the Birds*Man... I should totally be a BastardMod for that.

That means you need to die for us to win. 2) You say you may help the scum. So, you may actively interfere with our efforts to win. 3) If focusing on you is bad for us, then lynching you now will keep the focus off you permanently. 4) You also threaten scum, so we cannot depend on them to eliminate you. Seems like a clear lynch candidate to me.

*Hands Creepy Doll back to HockeyMonkey*. There ya go. Lemme know if anything happens in 2-3 Months. So I went and took a shower, and then I came back and realized- that was really dickish of me. I shouldn't have to be a DickMod as well as a Bastard Mod, I mean, how can I win your hearts and love if I show myself as being a power mad crazy awesome tyrant? So, lemme make it up to ya HockeyM: *Cleans off the Creepy Doll with a disinfecting Moist Towelette* *Gives Creepy Doll back to HockeyMonkey* There. Good as New! Oh, and Winds up and Plays with the Clockwork Horse.

1) You admit you're not pro-Town. That means you need to die for us to win. No. *sigh* Let me try to explain this again: 1. If Scum Wins: I don't care. 2. If Town Wins: I don't care. They're BOTH not my problem. You guys can win or lose whatever you want. That's NOT the issue here. I can affect the outcome sure (by voting, offering analysis, and all that jazz; but in the end, it doesn't matter to me who wins. I don't preempt your conditions or anything like that. So I can stay alive JUST FINE and you guys can continue to play your game. MY game is with the MODS. Not you players. It's just the Mods tend to use you guys as players and Pawns. Which is fine with me. Like Today- I didn't get a fun little vs. the Mod game PM toDay, instead I got a punishment from the Mods- in that stuipid Cookies Vote thing. So I'm kinda irked about that. I want more nifty Mod powers and abilities, but in order to get them, I have to accomplish whatever tasks whichever mod gives me that Day. I also have a ton of fun little Post restrictions on things I cannot say, just words here and there. So that's also part of the fun. Basically I can't die, but I CAN be mod killed. My goal is to outwit, and survive each Day without dying thanks to whatever conditions the Mods setup for me. You guys CAN waste attempts on me, but in the end- it's ME vs. the MODS. Not you players. A Mod will be my downfall, OR I will succeed, and I will be able to defeat the Mods- a'la Highlander. So again- i'm NOT against the Town. I'm Not FOR the Town either, but hey, how about a truce? You guys don't mess with me, and I'll try to help you guys out (by playing with the toys and all that sorta jazz?). However, if you guys keep trying to lynch me, then I see no reason why we should be friends, ya know? So how about that? Truce?

They're BOTH not my problem. You guys can win or lose whatever you want. That's NOT the issue here. My issue is how your existence affects the Town's win conditions. From reading my role PM, I think we need to lynch you. I may be wrong, though, since the mods seem to write imprecisely and/or cryptically. But I think lynching you is a good risk compared to lynching someone else. At best, we remove someone who we need to lynch in order to win and is screwing us over until we do. At worst, you're somehow immune to a lynch and you're somewhat confirmed. (I notice this similarity between your role and mine. However, the fact that I explained my position up front and you did not, makes me very suspicious of your role.)

But, seriously, the mods mucking around with posts and changing player names is sucking the fun out of this game. Fundamentally, Mafia is about analyzing players' posts, and when we can't reliably read what others have posted or even know who they are, it's simply not very fun. (Mods, please don't take this personally, I think it's a disconnect between may could be fun and what actually is.)

Mr. Scummyboots, esq. sees a huge difference between changing words to stuff like "ugly scum bits" and changing the word -town- to scum. The former is innocent fun, the latter might influence someone's train of thought without being obvious and really screw things up. Mr. Scummyboots, esq. doesn't have a problem with changing words to funny things, but changing words in a subtle way that might make someone say something completely different to what they intended is just not cool. Boo, mods. Boo. --FCOD

Having read the posts where Roosh fundamentally admits to being self aligned (he claims he's neither Town nor Mafia, so he's some non-Town third party).
And having read my role PM and verified the exact wording of my win condition.
Vote Roosh.
Sorry Roosh. If you're telling the truth you're not Town, and if you're lying you deserve the rope anyway by trying to muck around with the minds of Townsmen just for fun.

If you're telling the truth you're not To wn, and if you're lying you deserve the rope anyway by trying to muck around with the minds of Townsmen just for fun. Maybe I'm paranoid, but there isn't actually any players with the name Roosh. He seems to have switched names to The Dude. Is there a risk the lynch will fail because players have voted for the wrong name?

I typed Roosh and it got filtered to The Dude. I figure that the namechange is a filter that will get reversed sooner or later.
We'll see.

The prize for winning the "Give me a new title contest" was a custom censor for your name. Ro.osh is now The Dude. TheHoopy Frood is not Senor Vorpal etc etc. Do not let name changes fool you.

But I am going to need a formal written request. Well, since Mr. Scummyboots, esq. is some sort of lawyer, here goes: Mr. Scummyboots, esq. (the Player) formally requests that the mods (the Moderators) remove any and all filters that change the meaning of a sentence or clause such that the replacement word logically fits into the original context of the sentence and makes sense as a commonly used phrase. Filters that replace words with common words that do not make sense within the context of a Mafia game are acceptable. Example: replacing "town" with "scum" is not acceptable, but replacing "kill" with "cuddle" is, since nobody in a Mafia game talks about cuddling.
Signed,
Mr. Scummyboots, esq.--FCOD

Mods, please remove all filters that could substantially change the meaning of a post. Yours is shorter than Mr. Scummyboots esq's. No, I will not and can not do that. But I would be willing to remove any filters that the Great and Glorious mods put in place just because we thought they were funny. Basically, I am willing to strip anything that is not directly relevant to gameplay or was not a prize given to someone. If that is what you would like to see happen, I will be happy to do that. For more see the other Great and Glorious mods post. ETA: In fact, I won't even wait. It is done. I took all the shiny toys out of the filters.

Dang. It looks like the to.wn to scum filter was player-made. That's gonna be annoying.
Anyway, Roosh, I'm not sure that you hanging around is such a good Idea. One the one hand, you claim you're not scum. OTOH, everyone says that, and if you truly have no alignment, them you could easily turn on the Town. Also, from what I gather, you've invented a wildly wacky role from whole cloth before.
Alright, analysis time (I'm listening to you, I just don't believe you):
If Roosh is a townie with special powers: Well, he hasn't been taking the game seriously enough to avoid suspicion. If his wacky mod powers he claims he can get are supposed to be town oriented, he doesn't show it. Unlikely
If Roosh is a scum with wacky, mod based powers: Lynching is good. Good
If Roosh is a non-aligned (PFK, observer, whatever) player with wacky, mod based powers (as he has claimed): He could help the Town, and it would be detrimental to lynch. However, he could just as easily help the scum. In Fact, I think that it's more likely that he would try to keep the game as close as possible, since this would be more exciting. Considering that we just lynched the godfather, this would be bad for us right now. Also, considering what he's done so far (we already have a canary), I'm not expecting much. Slightly good
Roosh is a jester: If he's a pro-Town jester, then jolly well good for us. If he's a non-Town jester, then, AFAICT, it would be unbalanced for him to win the game. So I'm thinking it would just be a detrimental effect, something we could push through. Slightly bad, on the whole.
So, thats: Unlikely Good Slightly good Slightly bad
So we should lynch Roosh. The real question is, should we do it now or wait until the fifteenth?
Pros: We get another canary Roosh might have some good analysis The game will be wackier
Cons: We already have two canaries (HP and Cookies) Roosh might prove a huge distraction Roosh might be scum or PFK This game is mighty wacky already
After that analysis, I'm thinking it's best to lynch Roosh now.
Vote Roosh

Are you saying that you refuse to remove the filter that replaces the word "town" with the word"scum" because it is a prize awarded to a player?

I said I will only remove censors that were implimented at the whim of the mods and that were not caused by discoverable game functions. It was getting too confusing. All filters currently present are a function of something that is a legitimate part of the game play (or was a stated gift to a player. All gifts of this nature have been made public.)
