Looks like it'll be an awesome game!

Also I don't like cluttering the space with too much talk about the ring, I think for the sake of those with no knowledge of the lore I should say (btw I've only seen the movies)

Frodo probably can give the ring
Sam almost definitely can
Aragorn possibly can
And
In LOTR the powerful people, even the goodies made it seem particularly bad if they were to get the ring, specifically Galdrial and Gandalf make sure never to touch it, this won't necessarily factor into the game but I think it's info everyone should have, beyond everyone getting the basics (and do add if I missed something obviously important) I think we should stop talking about this.

Fine with me... no idea why you would claim VT this early in the game though.

What suspicions are those? Not to mention how bout we lynch to kill scum, instead of lynching to figure out information.

This post is really ugly, dude. A couple people call you out and you just completely backtrack? Looking forward to that 'something better'.

Voting igrok for now, I'd like to see the lynch be between igrok, prplhz, and perhaps one other player (vain?), let's not throw votes around at too many targets.

So many people yelling at each other, hard to read what is going on.

Many plans and ideas, some good some bad. People who are making plans are probably not mafia, even if bad plans. Sauron would want us to not be planning, yes? All the people talking about ideas are not Mafia we need to look at the others. All the guys talking lots lik bugs, TranceStorm etc are probably fine just giving bad ideas.

We should kill GGQ. Happy to hide and let everyone yell at each other. He only talk when the arguing has died down and only make one line posts, just trying to make the 5 posts.

He make excuse and sorry about making bad suspicion, promise to come back and say more but never did. Vote igrok when he said there are no good candidates? Then try to direct vote? Add another suspicion on Vain for no reason just muddy the waters.

So wishy-washy too. We should push him into mount doom.

##Push GGQ into the fire

I do not understand the cipher but i say it is probably in elvish or black tongue cos we in lord of the rings game. Is likely result of a sheriff check, someone is town.

The problem is there is no impetus for scum to claim third party. Why not just claim town power role, as that is far easier to pull off. Not to mention that towns absolutely LOVE piling on a confirmed third party.

Buying himself an extra day is possible, but if that's his strategy then this is a terrible way to do it.

Here's the thing, if iGrok was confirmed Third Party, we would absolutely NOT be lynching him. Thing is, this is a totally bullshit claim, and nothing stacks up in that claim.

One thing is for certain, iGrok is certainly not town as no townie would ever make that claim. If no one is willing to back me on Jackal(or Pyo) then we should bring the hammer down on iGrok.

oh lulz i see now

anyway, i'd still like to hear from igrok who he's gonna shoot since i don't think he should just be able to hide behind popular vote. guy needs to contribute if he wants to be considered town.

Partly to see GGQs reaction, but mostly because not everything this game has been going on in thread, as you should be able to tell by the role list so far. There is also no reason to lay out all my reads during the day, as that just clutters and muddies the waters.

Fact is, if iGrok is actually third party, then GGQ is most definitely scum. Consider GGQ's contributions this game: Other than cast suspicion on iGrok, he has done nothing but theorycraft and post neutrally. If iGrok is third party and not mafia, which is most likely the case, then GGQ loses his one saving grace(which was medium pressure on potential scum).


GGQ went two days without posting and has a total of 4 posts on day 2. The sum total content from those 4 posts is this:



and this:


If you thought iGrok was so scummy why weren't you pushing him? You pop in, give your opinion, and make no effort do discuss or sway the lynch one way or the other. Read GGQs filter, it won't take long I promise.

Exact same thing happened on Day 1, a bunch of posts, obviously around, yet apprx 1 paragraph worth of content.





You're obviously around, you're popping in the thread to "defend" yourself, but you still refrain from posting anything useful. Who are you're scum reads, who are you're town reads? You're supposed to be decent yet if you disappeared from this game no one would notice. You need to step it up or die.

_______________


Make a case and do some work. You think I'm scum, spell it out then. Filter me, find the scum motivations behind my posting, don't sit back and sling mud. Since your kneejerk scumslip OMGUS on me you have done nothing. You put your vote down on me, and contributed ZERO to the discussion today: You didn't even mention iGrok or Jackal, despite me specifically asking your opinion on them both. The only thing you had to say about Palmar is to write a paragraph explaining why he was a null read, which was just sheeping EXACTLY what i had written several hours earlier.

______




You're right in a way. I'm jumping the gun on GGQ since iGrok very well could still be scum. If that's the case then presumably he actually has done something this game. Not to mention this kind of dictation does nothing for the town. Best way to play this is to treat it as a double lynch: We vote on who we think the best target for the night kill is. This gets everyone down on paper, and encourages discussion during the night:

##Nightkill: Pyo

yes, that's why he should NOT shoot, and then we hang him tomorrow!

I added in the son of man, lol. Are we not allowed to embellish now? I paraphrased the rest of it, didn't want to feel the wrath of Curu, especially after his blue post about iGrok's claim. Would it make you sleep better at night if I had said I win when all evil is purged? I'm not a multishot vigi, I can only shoot if certain requirements are fulfilled.

Kita, let's lynch iGrok today.

By your logic we have 2 sks, one of them has successfully killed mafia, let's reward him with another night!

gg scum... this town is full of idiots, including myself. I really can't believe that people actually believed the whole "now I become a vanilla townie" nonsense.

For what it's worth, I'm Barliman Butterbur, Owner of the Prancing Pony, Vanilla Townie.

I also voted in this thread but forgot to click "Post" on my actual vote.

You're right GGQ, I'm obviously still the SK and my real wincon is actually to kill everyone and it wasn't the same as Palmer's. Cause obviously I would be able to guess/know Palmer's wincon even though he first lied about it in the thread and I then posted his real wincon which then got proven by him leaving the game without my actually knowing anything about his wincon. Cool Story Bro. [/end sarcasm]

Also nice try at misdirection there by saying it's smarter to lynch me over Pyo, obvious scum #1.

These kills make no sense, one of kita or drazerk is mafia, maybe both. If kita was actually tracker, mafia would have killed him outright. The possibility that we would lynch the RB increases as the number of players in the game dwindles. The day RB is lynched, mafia is fucked cause they would have to kill Drazerk first before they coul kill kita, letting him get off a track which would probably out the next person of theirs. At the very least they would have killed Drazerk to set up the stage to kill kita if their RB gets lynched. I'm going to look over the log he posted, try to see if there's discrepancies.

@GGQ, no matter what you think I am, if I was SK then town has already lost. There'd be 3 KP in play and there'd only be 3 townies left if I was SK. That would mean town has lost the game. Now, you can either believe that I'm SK and submit to the fact that town has already lost the game, or you can believe that I'm now a vanilla townie and help me lynch mafia. If I was really still SK I would have shot someone I believed to be mafia last night. That would have made it 3 townies-2 mafia-1 me, still LYLO. Right now, if I was SK, I would have to rely on town to win the game. You really think I would do that as SK?

5 posts in a row? That's enough for a modkill, right?



Scum (yourself included) knew I had the logs in my posession. Town did not. I tried to use their knowledge against them to create a trap. Nobody would have felt safe pushing me that day who was scum because they knew I had the claim in my backpocket. I waited to the final hour of the cycle because it forced people to make a stance, not knowing when I would come out and claim.

Yeah if I was Mafia I would have hit chaoser or Trance. 50/50 chance, if you fail you lose (which you were going to anyways) but if you succeed you have a shot at spinning heist as Mafia (still not a very strong one though since Draz was definitely med protted before and no Medics had flipped).
