Ok really, show of hands. Who else finds Kalor's comment to be indicative of him not being town aligned? I do. I honestly didn't read that part either and had to go recheck the thing to even see it. So I could have made the same mistake. But also I didn't make a post about it that was like "I'm in the dark like everyone else! Right buddies! ...right?" Given that Day 1 is a crapfest, it's certainly something reasonable to start from.

I'm assuming Sorian was cool with not playing. Otherwise that's shitty.

Vote: XamTheKing
Could you possibly post more fluff?

I guess the question is what is more likely:
A) Splinter puts funny inside joke Rule 34 in, Sorian challenges it, gets mod killed for an hour, because that's funny. He comes back, tries to milk it.
B) Sorian RNGs into some role that requires some a vacation from the thread, that rule is put in to... cover it I guess? and then he comes back and our most outspoken poster gets a special guy role to play
I'm leaning towards A.

I'm just responding to both of these points together. Roy, why do you think roles weren't RNG'd out? Cabot, if you go by that logic, my role would be something that would put me in the spotlight and let me talk a lot. I'm not known for my alignment from NX, I'm known for pretending to be a town leader and talking too much. The roles not being RNG is the only way that the story you're claiming makes any sense. You've said your role involved dying and resurrecting. If that was the actual function of your role, and it publicly mod dying on day 1, it makes Rule 34 a blatantly unfair thing to be in the game. It would've let you claim "oh, ha ha Splinter was just joking, I'm just normal!" Since you have a reputation in the community it doesn't seem that odd for a rule specifically about you to be there. If a good portion of the 29 other players got that role such a rule wouldn't have made any sense. Like if it was "34) Ultron will be mod killed unless he does *thing*" it would've stood out like a sore thumb and I wouldn't have been able to pass it off as a joke. That makes me think that the only way your role would function as you claim it does would be for you to have specifically got assigned the role instead of everyone getting everything randomly. Even if this is a super bastard game I'm pretty sure that we aren't playing games where special GAFia celebrities get special roles just for them, because that's against the basic tenets of Mafia as a game. The only remaining reasonable option in my mind is that your whole story is nonsense.

I'm pretty sure the rules were put up after roles were assigned and Splinter found a way to tell a joke with it. Same as the Day 9 start and Nin being a mystery gafia star. This game is no stranger to throwing in jokes when it can, that doesn't change the mechanics. Oh, so Splinter was just playing a joke that could've had significant strategic value for you by giving you a plausible excuse to hide your role.

Your other two examples are things that got cleared up very quickly that don't give anyone any advantage. Just like you getting funny haha killed for an hour would have (which is what I think actually happened).
That's very different from getting a plausible cover to disguise what you claim is supposed to be a public role.

Sparring with Sorian is fading into the background? Okay.

If you mean the 4 posts where you call out Sorian on his role not making sense, then yes. Half of your posts are either nothing, a weak Xam vote, or this hand waving answer while the other half is your argument. You never discuss why you voted Xam, you never elaborate on it further, and then you just pop and call Sorian a liar and then leave. Try again, this time with an explanation for that Xam vote please. Sorry for engaging with the most interesting claim of the day so far. My explanation was right there with the vote. Don't need a bunch of extra nothing posts from Xam in a 30 person game. I'll probably change it tomorrow.

One interesting thing we've got is that LoC said that the Day 9 and countdown thing was specifically mentioned in his PM. Oh yeah, my role actually mentions a countdown and hidden game mechanic, but I should'nt say anything else. You don't want to be on this isand 9 or so days from now. Imagine the final fight from Revenge of the Sith times 8. Probably. Meanwhile Sorian has said that day 9 didn't mean anything, based on the knowledge from his role. So one of them is lying.

The day 9 thing HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH MY ROLE. I gave Splinter the idea of starting at day 9 and then looping back around to day 1. The idea was clearly said in the thread on GAF. I assume that is what he did. Ah, my bad on that.

Well, that was exciting.
I don't think we figure out much from the corpse pile last night. Even if we find out some were scum and some weren't there is no way to know which was which or the results.
I won't be home till later so not much I can post right now.

Ridli's new player stuff being a fabrication makes the apparent rage claim also really ring false to me. Someone who suggests enough experience to say "I actually think we can break this game with a mass claim, but ive hated winning that way in past games" suggests enough experience to know not to claim like that, were one actually town.
But yeah, we can let him stay as the top candidate for awhile and talk through the rest of the day.
Xam remain quite high on my list after that claim for no reason. Can't think why a townie would do that, but it might make sense for Scum to preempt stuff in that manner and use the towns panic to find scum after the massacre to skate by without taking what many would see as a policy lynch.

There are so many points of potential failure for someone claiming Medium at this point that I would be extremely leery to use any of their info as actionable. We've got:
1) Ridli lying about the whole thing. (Which can hopefully get cleared up by his flip.) 2) Someone fake claiming Medium. 3) The alignment of the person that is the real Medium. 4) The alignment of all the dead people giving the medium info.
There are so many outs there.

Lol. Everyone that we've seen a flip for has been lying and has been town.
I guess it is possible Ridli's Medium stuff was true.

Their animals are Mouse and Chipmunk. Maybe they both got recruited by the God of Small Mammals?

If it was a temporary power and Sorian was town why did he consistently claim that is was part of his role?

Should we even lynch people anymore on the live side? Even if we hit "correctly" that just makes it more likely for them to take over the after life, which is apparently the thing that actually matters. Though I guess lynching here is the only way to kill them the first time so they can eventually be banished. Harumph.

Id rather they didn't night kill me. Since, hey, town.
Had I remembered I was gonna do a bunch of checking on Blarg and Ridli's posts since they were scum to see what they all did. Did anyone else really do that? I might've missed it. Do that if I die I guess.

I think Xam is still super suspicious. Tim seems good since I can't possibly imagine someone attempting to bus a fellow Scum as hard as he went after Blarg.

Why would someone watch me if I'm getting killed by collective will of the undead?
