That's a bit of good news.
For the curious, I received a PM from Storyteller within 5 minutes of the lynch result post going up, telling me that my rage at Jean Grey's death had been assuaged and that I was no longer driven to kill.
I chose not to kill last Night.
More later, when I've digested this info.

Hm... I'm thinking that scum are dead, and a PFK with an unfulfilled win-condition is still alive.. Question is.. who? These are the people still alive.. bufftabby | Multiple Man | Three-shot doc/block | chucara | Shadowcat | Watcher | FCOD | Longshot | Lucky | mhaye | Wolverine | Vigilante | peekercpa | Archangel | Miller / Legacy healer | Pollux Oil | The Toad | Investigator | misterblockey | Magik | Mason |
Once again, those still not confirmed by Pollux Oil are: Unconfirmed: chucara FCOD Mhaye Confirmed by Pollux Oil: Pollux Oil Bufftabby peekercpa Confirmed: misterblockey Unless someone opposes, can we please submit what our night actions were? So far we have: MHaye: Did nothing Particularly interesting is of course, Pollux Oil.

Hmm. I think this is really down to FCoD or MHaye for me. I still have vague reservations about Pollux as well.

Ok. I didn't do dick last night. And I offer this up in the hope that it is not creating static but providing fuel for analysis.
I have successfully feathered buff, chuc, block and mhaye. I failed on a feather attempt on PO and DC and feathered myself one night (thanks santo).
Someone smarter than me needs to run the stats but sheesh. Seven actions and six are still in this. I know I don't have anything other than a town win condition (based on my PM) but cripes this is like hitting the lottery twice in a row. I think we need to kill Fcod ( an outlier) and for fuck's sake he's even caught up in the legacy nonsense, me or PO.
I mean, gals and guys, I really do try to figure out what is going on but for the most part just go with gut, quick wits and good looks. It just seems exceedingly odd at this point.
UATU: Get behind me Satan.
Kat: Get behind me Satan's helper.

*Copies and amends Chuchara's helpful table.* bufftabby | Multiple Man | Three-shot doc/block | (Do you have any actions left, Bufftabby?) | chucara | Shadowcat | Watcher | Not yet reported. | FCOD | Longshot | Lucky | Not yet reported. | mhaye | Wolverine | Vigilante | Took no action. | peekercpa | Archangel | Miller / Legacy healer | Took no action. | Pollux Oil | The Toad | Investigator | Not yet posted. | misterblockey | Magik | Mason | Refuses to state action. |
I've added an extra column to list the claimed action by each player. What It All Means is something to be worked out over the Day.

What is everyone's opinion on a fifth scum versus a fourth PFK?
And what possible win condition could a PFK have if scum are all dead?

Post by bufftabby on Nov 9, 2008 19:32:49 GMT -5
I started to consider that question, Chucara, but I'm starting to think it doesn't really matter. We've got some sort of anti-town element out there, regardless of win condition, that we simply *must* eliminate. Unless we've got a pfk AND a 5th scum, then the pfk is clearly not a Survivor type, which would win just by staying alive. So I think it really does not matter the precise nature of our enemy, only that it must be rooted out.

I also agree that lynching PO might be a good trade, but I'll wait and see what results he brings from the night.

[colorblue]Vote PO[/color] [/quote] Color removed by me. Ok boys and girls. We are into our third month. At this point the ole peek head is getting tired. If block has a mason win condition separate from town then whoops. But the possibility of a pro town night power and the fact that he is a mason indicates that regardless, PO needs to swing. The only thing that concerns me at this point, however, is that he is agreeing with me.

I'm beginning to wonder why Pollux Oil hasn't shown up yet, especially with the shortness of the day.

Hmm. It looks like Pollux has been on here in the past 24 hours, so he definitely should have seen that the Day is up, as well as have gotten his investigation results, if he actually has any. I will give him a bit more time, as I know he's mentioned being pretty busy IRL, but my hackles are raised in his general direction.
But let's not forget about everyone else, shall we? I'd like to hear what FCoD and MHaye think about PO, as they are both pretty high on my to-lynch list.

bufftabby: Indeed. Excellent question.. If it were me, I'd probably have killed FCOD.
For me, the choice has to be between FCOD, MHaye and possibly PO. However, that all depends on PO's results.

Bah, triple-post. Oh well. MHaye, why did you choose not to kill last Night? You know what's weird? I read this and thought "I've already told you." I hadn't. Sorry. I've already told Storyteller and Kat, via PM. You'll see the post when I die. I considered all possible actions - ie I actively considered whether to kill all the surviving players who were not me. I dismissed you and Peeker straight off. All we'd learn from the death of either of you is your alignment and a pointer about PO's trustworthiness. The downside, if you were Town, is that we lose someone who is now effectively a vanilla Townie. Your death would be minimum risk, and minimum gain of information. I seriously considered offing PO, as he had (according to his claim) only a 50% chance of learning anything last Night, and killing him would at least throw some light on the reliability of his assertions about you and Peekercpa. Passing on to the others, the person I am most suspicious of in that group was FCOD. I did not kill him because if I did, that would mask the information I hoped to get when I refused to vote for him in the Day. I'm more suspicious of MisterBlockey than Chuchara right now. I really don't get a "nonTown" vibe from Chuchara's power. MrB could easily be a PFK Mason (I don't see a person with a foot in both Mason and Scum camps to be a terribly balanced role, so I ruled out Scum mason). I seriously considered killing him just to clear the air, as it were; the reason I did not was that doing so would be a losing strategy if he were in fact Town (whatever my alignment). Not killing would (a) allow us to extract more information from player actions (so far a very disappointing harvest), (b) allow us to learn something from FCoD's survival (or not), and (c) gain us half-a-mislynch in the (highly probable) event that I target a Town player. Also, should anyone die, the killer could not hide behind a claim of "It must have been Wolverine," at least not after the truth of my alignment was exposed. If no-one died, that would demonstrate that I didn't have to kill and thus remove a pro-town motive for lynching me - avoiding too much downward pressure on the number of players when Town can't absorb the losses any more. It would also show that all the killing roles out there were optional. On balance I felt that not killing last Night gave us more information.

Out of curiosity, why would you discuss this with Story and Kat? I wouldn't call it "discuss." It's more like talking to a brick wall - they never actually reply/ It's more a "This is what I'm doing and why I'm doing it" note. They sometimes save such PMs in spoiled forums for the edifications of themselves and other people who might want to point and laugh. When the game is over / you are dead, you can go see for yourself.

I see.. Just wondering if you had any unresolved issues in regards to your powers.
Anyway, I'm more keen on voting for FCOD than Pollux Oil, but I really hope PO joins us soon, as this day is very slow so far.
IRL issues are obviously ok, but I do wonder that's he was logged in earlier..

In case you hadn't noticed, his login time was 2am. He might have decided not to post due to being unable to make a sensible one at that time (a decision I've made a time or two as well).
Unfortunately from my point of view, the lack of report post (even "I blew the 50/50 chance again) undermines the chain of logic that I followed in deciding not to kill him; if we're getting nothing Today, I might as well have killed him.
My opinion of his claim is that his nameclaim really points PFK; in all honesty, when I was young I disliked the Toad as a snitch (threatening to tattle on the other evil mutants to their bossman, Magneto, in several of the early stories). Looked at in that light,his colour supports the investigative ability he has. It's also unsurprising that whoever was hiring the Horsemen didn't want him.
He could be Town, in which case killing him is bad, but allows us to confirm Bufftabby and Peeker without a doubt; on the other hand he could be a PFK out to get revenge on the scum, in which case killing the last scum before PO means we could lose.
On that basis, maybe we should lynch PO.
I want to think on this before placing a vote. Not too long though.

And I do not want to go down the RL path or get too metagamey all over PO.
Having said that, it's not like we are communally writing War and Peace toDay. So a little check un would be nice.
Explanation: War an Peace is an absurdingly long work of fiction.
Explanation: Fiction is a written work that is not true or merely based on some true events and then garnished. (Cool, double explanation on one reference)
I believe that voting him either confirms two folks for sure as town. Additionally, his death also supports chuc. Or it removes another baddie, in which case towns wins or confirms that story and kat are twisted phuquers.
Last statement is up for debate because in at least one of the two I've pretty much already made up my mind.

I'm afraid I just don't understand what new information we have as a result of your failure to kill last Night, MHaye. You say we find out something about FCoD. What did we learn, except that he isn't dead? You say we learn that your Vigging is optional. Maybe it always was optional. Maybe you failed, and this is how you cover it up.
mhaye and Pollux are my two biggest suspects right now.

Can we poo or get off the pot?
Crap, it,s already starting to feel elephantinacally gestational. Maybe some communal fiber will get things "moving" again.
Fuck, used communal twice in a couple of hours. That's gotta be a record.
And I also like the "crap" and "fiber" tie in.
Explanation: Crap is what comes out of your bum. Fiber can assist in this process. And the spelling on the Horton reference is so totally made up.
