Related to the big-ass collider, I'm assuming since there was no again we can't pull the lever anymore? *pulls the Lever* *cough sputter*

So now we've gone from glowing *BANG*s to non-glowing *BOOM*, eh?
And no more "Again?" after the fact.
And our mod is still twitching. Makes a lot of noise for a dead guy, no?

Day 1 he pushed for Santo's lynch fairly hard, citing that Santo's non worry about his role was suspicious. He didn't have issue with the role itself, saying that it could go either way, but figured that Santo's lack of concern on a role where the gastards told Santo that he was town meant that Santo was likely scum. It's a real stretch of an argument. I mean, arguing that the role could be WIFOM from the mods is fine (and that fact alone wouldn't even justify a vote), but using the fact that the poster isn't concerned that he isn't town as a reason to vote? I haven't seen any other townies worried about their roles not being townie. It just comes across as contrived. After Day 1, he pretty much drops the whole thing with very little explanation other than mentioning that he thinks its better left for mid to end-game. Occasionally, on the rest of the Days he'll bring up how he still finds Santo suspicious, but reiterates that he no longer finds him a good lynch candidate.
On Day 2, he votes Duke instead of molefan citing that he doesn't think we're catching scum the right way.
On Day 5, he jumps on Diggit bandwagon near the end of the Day after not thinking Diggit was a good candidate all the rest of the Day. He does cite Santo's timestamp thing as the reason.
Day 6 he unvotes Drainbead after countdown is triggered.
The strongest tell, IMO, is his dogged pursuit of Rugger on Day 1 and then all but backing off after that with no good reason. The other three things are week in of themselves, but taken as a whole they support the first tell.

Rock me like a hurricane The Dude. Strangely as you pull the lever hurricane Ike blows by and shorts out the power temporarily. Nothing happens. Weird.

I don't see any problem with finally revealing my role. FCoD's death kind of screwed me, anyway.
I am The Magnet. I am a redirecter/blocker. Each night, I choose a target, which redirects their actions toward me. If it's a kill, though, it will be blocked. Whatever it is, both the player and myself will know that it was redirected to me (so it serves to tell me who has night powers). My additonal benefit is that if my redirect was an alignment-revealing investigator I show up as aligned with that player.
That's because I'm neutral. Yes, leave it to the gastard mods to put two survivors in the game, but that's what I am. I only win if either town or scum win. It is made clear that I'm not PFK - and I gather the town & scum have to remove PFK players to win.
I haven't had much luck with my targets (though perhaps it will be revealing of who might have powers). I only had one hit.
Night 1 : hockeymonkey - she said something about "let us do our job" which made me wonder if she had powers.
Night 2 : *Kat - Just on a hunch. This was my only hit. If you'll recall at one point Kat said she wanted to hear what I had to say (although she might not have brought it up until the next Day, I don't recall). I didn't want to say anything at that point, though I would have done my best to save her from the gallows.
Night 3 : Roosh - Just to see what he was doing behind the scenes.
Night 4 : drainbead - Remember what name she claimed? "Nikola Tesla". I was certain it had something to do with me, if true. It's one reason I held off on voting for her.
Night 5 : bufftabby - random pick
Night 6 : FCoD - wanted to know if the PR was hiding something
Night 7 : Pleonast - again, wanted to see if he was not who he says he is.

In response to Hoopy's case:
As for why I went after Santo hard Day 1, it was actually because I thought he had a PR that made him loudly insist on his own innocence. That was my primary reason for attacking on that point. I didn't want to start a big mess (as with FCoD), and at some point it was clear to me that it probably wasn't the case, so I dropped it. I also genuinely failed to realize until later that trying to lynch him would be stupid, as eventually he'd be on the short list of scum targets.
molefan I simply had no idea about. Duke looked like scum to me (Masons always do; they have special knowledge they're trying to hide).
With diggit, Santo's timestamp looked pretty damning. I didn't see a better reason to vote that day. Call it a bandwagon if you like.
As for drainbead, I partly explained that yesterday. My role name and her fake claim was also why I didn't think she was really scum.
I'd really like to hear from Pleonast about Hal's question.

A couple of friendly reminders since the start of the game was so long ago.
1) The Day ends in well under 12 hours. Closer to 9 2) The game is actually balanced and frankly right now everyone still has a good shot at winning, so don't give up. (I wasn't actually sure about the game being balanced until now, but I think the fact that it has stayed balanced for so long supports me.) 3) In the event of a tie both top candidates get killed.

Anyone else here?
I'm very likely to not be around for the rest of the day. It appears I have to

but it doesn't seem to help me all that much, unless someone wants to start the countdown on one of us.

*sigh*
Okay, FINE. Be that way!
You caught me, but I haven't been lying. I ain't scum. I'm your friendly neighborhood serial killer.
I tried to off YOU bufftabby last night, but for some reason it didn't work. Oh, and I know you're behind the rock-paper-scissoring as well. NYAH NYAH.
So here's the deal. Parzival, Roosh, if the two of you are PFK as you say you are, that's three votes. Of course, Parzival, if you really have to win with town or scum you could be a scumbag and decline, but let's face it, they're going to lynch you next anyway most likely.
Chances are there's at least one scum left. 3 PFK + 1 scum can control the vote toDay since Pleonast can't vote. 4 vs. 3. Or 2 PFK + 2 scum can control the vote too. Let's play dirty people, I don't want the town to win!
Unvote Parzival
Vote bufftabby
Oh, and...

Yeah, I'm behind the rock-paper-scissors. I'm the Ceiling Cat. That's how I knew Drain Bead and Idle Thoughts were scum. I won against them, but they weren't speaking lolCat. Only non-scum get the instructions to speak lolCat after I beat them at rock-paper-scissors. So: Pleonast is not scum. Obviously our dead lolCatters Kat and Duke were not scum. I also targetted Captain Klutz and Pedescribe, but I lost the PRS challenge. Lynch me if you must, scum/PFK, but enjoy speaking lolCat from this point forward if you do.

Well, isn't this interesting.
You know, I'd just as soon see all the anti-town elements dead. In fact, a tie between bufftabby and the SK would actually be nice. Take two of the anti-town elements out in one swoop. So what do you think Hal or Ro0sh? I vote bufftabby and one of you vote her and they both go. I think I can live with LOLCAT speak for the rest of the game in exchange for that.

Nevermind. I need to read closer. Bufftabby is a detective role is to determine who speaks lolcat and who doesn't in order to out scum. Unvote Bufftabby Vote Pollux Sorry if I didn't make that clear enough. I'm also not nightkillable, eh Pollux? It's a fairly weak (and obnoxious) investigative role. To elaborate: if I win, non-scum get the message that they've lost to the Ceiling Cat and get their PR. Scum only receive a message that the Ceiling Cat has won. I don't know the results for certain until the target posts. Should we tie, my target and I are told that we tied, and they know it was the Ceiling Cat who targetted them. Should I lose, the player knows bufftabby targetted them. There was talk earlier that there were 3 god-like characters in the game, yes? I posted the link to the lolCat bible earlier for a reason. I'm the Town "god", and RoOsh seems to be a neutral "god", and it seems as though Squiddio was the scum "god". I think he might have met his win condition had he gotten RoOsh to say "w" (which he seemed to be trying to do). But I can't speak to their roles except in theory, only my own. I win with Town.

I'm the Town "god", and The Dude seems to be a neutral "god", and it seems as though Squiddio was the scum "god". I think he might have met his win condition had he gotten The Dude to say "w" (which he seemed to be trying to do). But I can't speak to their roles except in theory, only my own. I win with Town. Cool. On my first read of your and Pollux's interchange, I thought you were PFK and were going to make all of the rest of the players have to speak lolcat upon your lynch, hence the confusion. As far as the God thing, I actually originally had Pollux pegged as the other god because he seemed eager to help town and like the other god's ( Dio was obviously evil based on his contents, and Roosh was pretty much neutral since he's been alternately rude and helpful and was willing to strike a deal with scum and town and PFK regardless) was a former admin of a recent game. (I hinted as much on an earlier day, and Rugger picked up on where I was going with it.) So he was the pick for the "good" god. And along those lines, I thought for a while that you were the SK. Apparently I had you two completely reversed. I guess the gastards probably thought that making Pollux the other god would be logical enough that someone would pick up on it, so they intentionally chose someone else. Kudos to them on that bit of misdirection.

Sorry Pollux, but PFKs are the only type that I can't win with.
Still, I'm kind of rooting for the scum. Keeping you alive might help the scum with the body count but we'd probably still have to lynch you tomorrow if they didn't kill you first.
I'm obviously a threat to you since you'd have to kill me first, so I can't let you live through the night.
