Well, I already knew we were all warped...
I see it is the perfect time to fall behind and not know what is going on. Sorry to see you go, NAF. I am still inclined to give MiteyMouse the benefit of the doubt, for now.

I am still inclined to give MiteyMouse the benefit of the doubt, for now. FYI, the warp occurred between dotchan's and my posts (i.e. replies 26 and 27). Dotchan's post and all the one's previous were in the original thread. Hence my reaction post after the move. And I could swear I had to refresh the thread to be able to click reply when I first saw the new warp forum and the -1 on the old forum (which is now apparently minus world), meaning that Idle probably locked this one for a bit.

Does that not prove that I changed the weather Santo? Not really. It proves that you or someone cooperating with you changed the weather. I still would've preferred a "no weather change" last Night, which would have provided evidence of your claim of the weather change and the WC change not being tied together. Now, it'll take another two Nights* to prove that**. *Explanation: Just in case they are tied together, the weather needs to change toNight, since we don't want the scum and PFK WC any longer than necessary. **Explanation #2: If you live that long, that is.

I was inclined, initially to think along the lines that maybe we have rotating win conditions like Blockey. But that seems a little hosed in that depending on where the win condition points and what the win condition is a win or loss would just be random depending on what part of the cycle we would happen to be in. And that would truly be Gastard.
I believe Idle when he says this is not Gastard. Of course it all depends on your definition, I suppose.
I've also got to add that the current state of this game makes in nigh impossible to decipher posts on this friggin' BB.

And just to let you know where I am at. NAF pms the new win condition at 341 with the admonishment not to discuss until Day start. He posts the same durn thing to the niller role at 342. And at 343 the day starts. I think we have to deeply discount our Mod analysis since apparently Idle is channeling [/b]peek[/b] from his college days.
Explanation:
For some odd reason we thought it would great fun to throw a string of Black Cats into our roommates' room just to fuck with them (There may have been alcohol and illegal substances involved but am not totally sure).
*snerk*
'Course the fact that we all had to live with the attendant smoke and odor for a couple of hours was secondary to the grins and giggles we got from the action.
What was really hilarious was the first night we did this. They were all freaked and adrenaline pumped so we assured them that it would never happen again. So we gave them some of our sleeping powder to help them go back to sleep (meth) and told them to go lay back down and we would clean up. Poor bastards didn't sleep the entire weekend.

And before I get lectured too horribly, this was back in the mid 70's and this type of behavior was much more acceptable.
I remember pledging a fraternity and If I knew then what I know now I could have settled the poor beast by just uttering their catch phrase.

So sorry to see you go NAF . I enjoyed playing with you.
I think lynching Miteymouse at least for the time being would serve no point, seeing as her powers would still be around. Lets say for argument sake she is SCUM, though I personally do not get that from her. But let's say she is, then I say we enjoy what weather we have and lets say this game lasts down to the final 3, we would have a SCUM in the back pocket, assuming she is. Which since the win condition, while annoying it is not bad for the town; so I am inclined to believe her for now. I just feel this way cause since her powers continue after her death, then why kill her? Nothing would change; we would still have the weather and win conditions changing every night. Only instead of at least some say in the weather change it would be what? Random I suppose. Random vs us having a say, gee to me that is not a hard choice.
It may not be fully pro-town to change the win condition but it is not exactly anti-town either. Because PFK’s are not pro-town, therefore changing it to lynch them is in a way sort of pro-town. Since they have there own alignment apart from the standard black and white alignment of town and scum. The only way I see it being truly anti-town would be if the win condition were to lynch our selves. At the end of the day the win condition is and always has been, town must survive. Is this not in away sort of pro-town? Even if the means to the end changes, the end is fixed, and that is for the town to survive.
So in my opinion, I am inclined for now to look for scum and PFK's else where for now.

If we get a WC of lynching some kind of Townies tomorrow, it's because shaggy cursed us. Right there! *points*

That is kinda funny but I am sure I did not curse us, seeing as I do not have the power to curse anyone. Just simply pointing out that the WC still is and always has been in a way good for us. Anoying that it keeps changing? yes, but bad for us? Not really if you think about it!

Well if we are to believe mm then her survival makes not a lick of spit on the town WC. If she is lying then she needs to swing on principles. So I don't see how her existence, if we believe her, does anything other than getting rid of these pre - frogs. So I guess my question is to those that think the weather has some determination on the win factor: Why would you believe someone who controls the weather but says they can't influence the town win condition but want to keep that person alive because their impact on the weather might influence the town win condition? Gosh I feel like Yossarian and/or Slim Pickens.

I don't think we should vote MiteyMouse. looking at this I'd guess town at least is on a semi-cyclical win condition. A 3 day pattern, maybe more, but lets look at is a three day pattern day 1: kill all scum day 2: kill all pfk day 3: kill all scum and pfk and then reset there may be more in there and it may be more random but could we at least contemplate that as a possibility. I hadn't thought of this, but it's a good point. I still think she is anti town, but I'm willing to wait a Day to lynch her. Unvote MiteyScum

I must admit I've had a bit of tunnel vision concerning the mice since the middle of Yesterday. I still think she's not town, as I can't think of a single pro-town use of her powers. I think she's lying about her powers existing when she dies, and the point blockhead brought up seems quite likely to me; there's only so many town win conditions possible. I don't know if she's scum or PFK, but I think we should wait until our win condition is more favorable, and then lynch her. If there is no change in win condition, that proves that it's quite likely up to her, not autonomous*. In that case, I also think she needs to be lynched. *Nother high-dollar word for story.

But if you think she is lying, then why the unvote. I mean, seriously, if this was a straight game then we'd have to get rid of scum and PFk to win anyways. Unless we believe that there is a shortcut through her manipulation of the weather and win condition we are basically where we would assume we started from anyways.

I think lynching Miteymouse at least for the time being would serve no point, seeing as her powers would still be around. That's what she said! (hehe) What if she's PFK? How will we know what our win condition would be at that point? I think this it is very bad for the town to always be chasing the carrot*. YMMV. Also, you're still assuming she's telling the truth about things still changing after her death. Why? What are you going on about??? What would be random versus us not having a say? If you're talking specifically about the weather, and assuming that they're separate like she said they were, why does it matter if we have a say or notYou are quite the confusing individual, but to try to answer what I think you're saying... It's not the new win condition that is anti-town. It's the fact that it's changing. It'd be like if you were cooking, and everybody said they wanted pizza**. Well, let's say you made the sauce, and the dough, and cut up all the toppings, and shredded the cheese, and were getting very close to finishing the pizza. Then, everybody decided they wanted to have spaghetti, instead. Now, it's not that big of a deal, because the ingredients are all basically the same; but they had been prepared for pizza. Now you've got to backtrack, reassess the situation, and start over. Granted, you're much farther along than you would have been if you hadn't started cooking at all, but much further behind than if everybody had just asked for pasta in the first damn place. I agree with this statement, but for the reasons blockhead gave. *chasing the carrot is when you're leading a horse by a carrot tied to a stick, and holding it out in front of it. The horse walks and trots and gallops , but never quite gets to the carrot. *mmmmmm, pizza!

Unless we believe that there is a shortcut through her manipulation of the weather and win condition we are basically where we would assume we started from anyways. Not necessarily. Usually the town has to form a majority of the population while PFK can't achieve their win condition any more. I do believe the manipulation lies in blockhead's theory.

If you go to your profile and select modify profile, there is a bit towards the bottom that says: This lets you select the color/style of the board appearance. I personally like coolicles. I think the default has been set by our insane mod to be snow and snow globes today.
