For anyone who hasn't looked back at the selection process that sent me over to Pikachu after the challenge, it was over in ~10 minutes and I was not present for it. I had no say in who was chosen, it just happened to be me.Quin wrote: ↑Wed Mar 21, 2018 3:53 amLong Con and nutella did the challenge.

So if Sloonei (or a top townie over there) flip bad, we can look back at this event.
This is all assuming they have BTSC to coordinate this, which I don't see why they wouldn't.

Are you an Evil Even, Sloonei?
Are you saying in a hypothetical if he was mafia which team? Because he doesn’t look bad to me based on what he’s just posted
That is a weird thing. But discounting that in this instancecolonialbob wrote: ↑Thu Mar 22, 2018 6:01 pmIf they voted for Wilgy while saying they thought he was town, maybe
33: the voice of Epignosis (Vocaroo). Each night, you may target a player who will be requested (but not required) to sing exactly one on topic post on Vocaroo (at least ten seconds in length). The first person to reply to that post is marked for death until another Vocaroo post is made. At any time, you may choose to kill the player who is currently marked for death, and after that point your power will cease. You may target yourself, but may not target the same player on consecutive days.

There is now the opportunity for three players to mutiny. What will happen if there is a mutiny, you ask? Well, I tell you...![]()
Here are the rules of the mutiny for three.
1) If you wish to mutiny, PM both hosts saying so. PMs must be in during this night phase.
2) If the hosts receive exactly three PMs from players who wish to mutiny, a mutiny will occur.
3) You may not discuss this mutiny during this night phase. At all. This includes planning whether you are sending a PM with each other, talking about whether you did or did not send a PM, or endeavouring to make any hints that don't appear to be about the mutiny but actually are. It is entirely off limits to discuss. If you have any questions, PM them.
4) At the end of the night phase, you will be informed by the hosts of the outcome of the mutiny for three. Only after that post may you discuss the mutiny.
No it wouldn't. Wilgy marked the first player to respond to the vocaroo, not the vocarooing player themselves. So whoever was first to reply to INH's insane rap would have been marked.
Ah right.

Firstly, can someone tell me what the fuck "Bidoof" means?
Secondly, reading through the whole Speedchuck thing feels like randomly tuning into some later season of a heavily-serialized TV show, and trying to mentally fill in the gaps. Unfortunately, despite S~V~S being super duper earnest, I have to side with the dull, boring, rational, Occam's-Razor-y DH and DDL on this one. He's probably where my vote's going tomorrow.
Thirdly, Scotty. @S~V~S, you were pretty sus of him due to all the Day 5 shenanigans. Here's my perspective. Scotty, JoH, and Sloonei were all desperately pushing towards lynches at any costs at this point in the game, which was tricky due to having no real flips or info to go off of. Their solution seemed to essentially be playing spin-the-bottle with whoever either disagreed with them or hadn't posted in a while. Boomslang, who is my current top civ read, disagreed with them, and has been relentlessly pursued because of it.
Sloonei and Scotty had a case against me, which they themselves admitted was BS. Nevertheless due to a mixture of apathy and inertia, I began picking up votes. I wrote up a case against sig, which was based on actual, y'know, stuff, and that managed to shift their attention.
At the time, I was nervous that a scummeister could be using the pressure towards a lynch with more voters than Pikachu's to frame civilians.
The fact that this push to beat Pikachu's numbers happened at the same time as LC was about to be lynched over there, well, it don't look great.
Out of the three (relatively) hyper-active players pushing towards a lynch, Scotty's the one that looks the worst to me. JoH is dead, and Sloonei has seemingly calmed down a hell of a lot when the button got pressed. Scotty's the one who first made the switch when I protested against my lynch and offered an "easier" alternative.
This is all not to imply that I don't still suspect sig. As I said over at NuCerberus:
Fourthy, Wilgy. I don't think Wilgy is bad. I think Daisy's meta case against him is hollow and kinda judgmental. I don't like Scotty and company latching onto him as an easy target due to his inactivity. The fact that vote after vote has been cast at him today makes me pretty sure we aren't gonna get anything out of his lynch. But, as S~V~S said, the dude's super-busy, and can't be replaced anytime soon. That's enough for me to sigh and add my twig to the Wilgy bonfire. Plus, I'd be super pissed if Boomslang got lynched today.Like Quin said, there's a pretty decent chance that in a game this size that's this convoluted, (I know, I'm one to talk) there are multiple baddie teams. Even if sig's "wagon" was bolstered by an attempt to save LC's bacon, that doesn't discount any of my suspicions of him. Plus, sig had an extra life at that time, and I could see a baddie team not really minding bussing a member with two lives to try and save someone else.
[VOTE: WILGY] aubergine
I don’t have time to answer to this right now, but first and foremost-
How the hell is Boomslang one of your TOP civ reads? Like, what has given you that indication because I’m dumbfounded how he is the Abraham Lincoln to, say, Sloonei’s Calvin Coolidge. It just isn’t a thing. Those roles should be reversed.
Anyway, off to work. I’m not liking your entrance and it’s not because you’re suspicious of me

Luffy wrote: ↑Wed Mar 21, 2018 9:39 pm Ok I'm not caught up yet but I have to say this.
I am thoroughly moved by your belef in our capicity to lynch Speedchuck, and disappointed with myself that I wasn't motivated enough to yell at everyone to do it and instead spent 48 hours hosting Image Mafia or doing RL things or other pointless crap. Which led to a wagon of a grand total of 6 people ignoring host evidence and voting for me instead, and another 4 doing jack shit.
My hearts throbs at seeing all the betrayed hope, of those children who thought we could get it done and yet, instead of receiving the present they expected, found a carcass of a dead marmot under the christmas tree. With coal.
I must do something to vindicate them.
So I promise you, people, that Speedchuck will die on Day 10.
There are no "buts" or "ifs". No tinfoil. I will personally confiscate every tinfoil hat and burn them if necessary. I will place them on the floor in a way that the smoke forms the words "LYNCH SPEEDCHUCK" when they burn.
There is a host post saying he is a civ and another host post confirming the existance of a role that can create host posts with inverted alignment. It's not any more clear cut than that. Of course there may be ways this information can be wrong, just like there may be ways DH actually caught all scum by himself, but we don't count on those when playing mafia. We follow the most logical path and accept the gift given to use by the hosts. Specially in a game where, let's be frank, we are kicking mafia in the asses so hard I can almost smell the tears coming from their BTSC chats. We have spare days to test weird tangents, and we most definitely have spare days to follow occam's razor, and if that fails, follow weird tangents afterwards.
Speedchuck dies. End of story. If there is any new information from the last 10 pages that makes this post hilariously misguided, show it to me now, otherwise the first time you see me on Day 10 will be with a torch, a pitchfork, and whatever tool they use to kill the lizard thing that is on Chuck's avatar.
I will not be accepting any counterpoints at this time, thank you. Especially because today isn't Day 10 and we don't need to be talking about speedchuck.

Sloonei was voted by Marmot. But he was Strex so that doesn't line up the same way that I was thinking it would.
Marmot helped us win it. I also don't see what benefit there'd be in this given that they could presumably already communicate with each other across the threads.
There is very minimal benefit in it. Especially on our side though we were struggling to figure out what the tribe dynamic was re: lynches and night kills. My question is just about whether scum would put themselves out there to keep us in the dark about that if we were just going to figure it out come merge.

Yeah--I made one. I don't remember if anyone responded to it. I didn't know what would happen, just that I had to sing a song of atleast 10 seconds. From questioning the hosts, I know it had to be on topic.Scotty wrote: ↑Thu Mar 22, 2018 7:22 pmAh right.
So afaik Marmot is the only that directly responded to it. And he didn’t day-die.
I’m looking at LoRab, who did day-die. She had a post that has nothing in it at 11:18p on Wednesday March 14th on Day 7. Is that a cockatoo?
Were it anybody else, I would have said, "But he would have known not to respond blah blah blah."
The allegation is that wilgy is an even while marmot was strexcorp, so they wouldn't be teammates anyway. I forgot about that when I was ponderin'.

If that was a civilian role, I would be less likely to cap its kill potential given how many lives are in existence. There is a condition that has to be met before a kill can even be carried out.
If that was a mafia role, the mafia already have a regular kill at their disposal, so capping the potential body count at one makes a lot of sense.
