Cell Agent Melichor the Endesleid, the Shadowsinger,(VisceraEyes), Was Consumed by Shadow and Flame!


did you notice the (OP:unique) kill flavour? consumed by shadow and flame.

I can't help but notice how this might indicate being a shadowsinger....


I don't think someone in a sleeper cell situation would be so casual with a day-vig shot... knowing his 3 other teammates were out there somewhere and run the risk of killing one... for what? to off a possible townie?


Well, this action makes no sense from any side to me. He claims for the items...


I really cant see a sleeper taking that shot in the first half-hour of the game.
There's a small chance it could be a mafia ploy to get Drazerk into the spotlight or 'confirmed'.
Far and away the most likely solution to me is that hes a trigger-happy townie who just struck gold.


why can't you see that? maybe he is compulsive and the early kill unbinds him from any possibilities. cell agent have a prob 80-90 % chance to NOT kill other agents.

there's no way we can rule out that this is the other way round and he is a freaking unlucky cell and is now pissed that their shared shadowbender flavour is revealed.

I can picture a combination like "has been killed by shadow and fire", "shadow + x" or whatever, you get the idea.

I am not saying, it is that way, but the coindidence is quite great in the matching flavour.


I think "killed by shadow and flame" is more likely to be a reference to the Balrog from Lord of the Rings. I would argue that since Drazerk claimed the kill that this is likely his role.

As has already been stated (and far more eloquently) by others, an instant claim of any publicly-known-to-exist power (like the Wheatley one, or the daykill) is probably a good idea. That way, we at least have some way to discover accountability.

I'll put my hat in the ring for the Wheatley thing, too. While I'm not as experienced as others in this game are, I believe I can play transparently when put in a public office and be accountable for my actions taken with a given power.

Also, I want to give Wheatley to Drazerk, as he is pretty much confirmed town.

What's your reasoning here? A random before-any-posting dayvig shot doesn't really mean a lot - with a game with as many unique rules (and factions!) as this one, I don't see how we can confirm anyone town this early.

If anyone has doubts about my ability to play transparently, please go take a look at Student Mafia. It's from a while ago, but I think I did a good job of playing very transparently, honestly, and actively in that game.

Explain the knowledge of balrog then

I'm not retarded? Kill flavor of "consumed by shadow and flame", and the first thing I thought of was JRR Tolkien's description of the Balrog as "wreathed in shadow and flame". In addition, I knew that the idea of a Balrog role was something that had been used in previous TL Mafia games.

We still have over 24 hours, and a lot of people have yet to say anything, so I think waiting will be better

Well, if he's limited by items then we don't need to kill him. It'll be easy enough to tell if he's lying if someone gets consumed by shadow and flame again without anyone having given him an item.

yea, that'll help. Because he can't at no point say "Hey I received an item". That's totally a prove.

Was this sarcasm? It reads like sarcasm, but it's really hard to tell with just text.

Now okay, all of those are people that I would never pick for this election... And I know there are more people than that who put their name in.. so why pick you 3?

I picked the three people who had multiple posts/significant interest, from what I could see. If you want the full list:
MidnightGladius is voting for himself.
gonzaw is voting for himself.
Grackaroni is voting for himself.
Drazerk and Blazinghand are voting for Blazinghand.
Paperscraps, RayzorFlash, Bluelightz, and Velinath are voting for Velinath.
Adam4167 is voting for himself.

I think that's it unless I'm blind.

New win con : Velinath is a horrible candidate and we must not let him get elected.
Either you were trying to do something scummy earlier by electing a 3rd party (defended by the fact that 3rd party is basically overpowered blues) or you turned anti-town and didn't want somebody who you thought had a pro-town role to win the election.

Nothing in your wincon should have made that change in your view of Velinath so you are either holding something back from us or you are just bullshitting completely.


I had two choices upon my win con change -

1) Keep around and just try and get lucky
2) Claim and ally with town and hope scum or someone else does it for me

What do you think someone else who has a similar role would do?

This still doesn't explain why you should have any preference towards any specific Wheatley candidate as it relates to your win con, which is what you implied.

Unless you're still assuming I'm third party because I was able to put two and two together and figure out your role name.

Apparently because he "understands this whole thing" or something like that.
That's complete and utter bullshit.

Don't elect Velinath.
I think our best option is to elect Blazinghand and kill Velinath.

Kill me? Why?

If we can find a better candidate, I'm willing to throw my support behind them, but honestly I feel I make a fairly good candidate here. I've already said I'm willing to be completely transparent when it comes to abilities that the Wheatley office receives.

I'm not a third party or scum. I'm town aligned. Why would you want to lynch me day 1?

MG, I think you make some good points as far as what Drazerk's actual alignment is. However, I do believe that he had the Balrog role name, at the very least, from the beginning based on kill flavor.

Even given that, however, I agree that his motivations for an early shot and wincon changes are a little shady. I guess the big emphasis here is that we can't take Drazerk's claim of third party at face value.

@gonzaw I have a non town read on Kenpachi because he's been pushing this "vote GLaDOS" agenda so hard without giving any real justification other than "it gives me a superpower". He's even trying to manipulate Drazerk into going along with it - he even says he isn't necessarily going to get a majority day 1, which I think really shows the lack of faith that the town has in him in addition to his dedication to posting a personal agenda even against the general sentiment (so far) of the thread.

Also, I forgot I wanted to write in that post, but it might not be the best idea to lynch Drazerk anymore after his claim. Instead, some townie with KP should send in his night action as soon as the night post goes up to kill Drazerk, due to the way items work. I don't know if action resolution is set in stone, or based on who sent in the kill first, so we should try to be better safe than sorry, and not let scum get that item. Suicide lynching Draz isn't very good, because the third parties won't vote for him, cell members will try to avoid it, and mafia wouldn't put more than a couple people on him. That means we would end up lynching with *just* reaching majority, and chances are most of the people will be town and we'll lose members without taking out extra scum. So, not exactly worth the 2 for 1 trade.

Thoughts?

I think his claim's bogus. It's quite coincidental that he just happens to reveal that he has an item that kills two lynch votes on him right when he's about to be lynched.

That said, I don't see a problem with being "better safe than sorry". If we have someone that can take Drazerk out tonight, then that's probably better overall for the town.

ebwop: If we decide Drazerk is a poor lynch choice I would suggest Bluelightz as a D1 lynch. He's posted nothing of value and I'm still not sure why he voted sinani. He cites generalized suspicion but never gives a reason for that suspicion.

Grack, thanks for clearing up the whole Bluelightz thing. I haven't read him in other games much, so it's good to get that idea of where he comes from.

I'd like to hear more on Dirk before I make a decision as far as voting him, but I do agree that Foolishness made a good point.

Honestly, BH, that seems like a stretch. I would certainly not consider lynching this early based on that.

Same with your "Cyber_Cheese is scum" call. How do you get there based on a complete lack of posting especially this early? If he's lurking due to being scum, he'll have to post soon or risk modkill. If he's lurking due to something else - say, real life - well, I guess my big issue here is that this early especially, there's no way to really discern this.

In fact, changing "link" to "links" doesn't even alter the information presented in the post-- it's just a typo, the kind of which you regularly overlook. It adds no information to the post.

Now wait a second, blzinghand, this all seems pretty inconsequential to me. Yeah, whatever, zelblade did an out-of-character EBWOP that looked pretty strange. But that's not scum behavior at all... like why would you even make a post like that, lol. noob. you sound like a bronze leaguer to me

My god, why are you so BM? Stfu for a moment and listen to my explanation. Your question is legitimate, though, so I'll address it. We know there are other Sleeper agents in this game. It's possible that this unnecessary, out-of-character EBWOP was an attempt by zelblade to communicate his identity to the other cell agents.

I was hoping someone else would notice this, but apparently nobody did, because nobody else is a paranoid motherfucker like I am. I'd like to hear your opinions though-- do I have a leg to stand on when I

I think you do have a leg to stand on, specially as he made several other types which were more severe and were not EBWOPed.

the last two are even from the very same post where he EBWOPed the "link" typo. Why fix only the "link" one and not the other two?

It might be a bit of a stretch, and I don't think it justifies a lynch already, but it's noteworthy.

The one thing that stands out is that "link" to "links" is the only one of those typos that actually changed the content of the sentence (which is something that was brought up on the last page). Does that mean anything? No idea, but it should be noted anyway.

I just want to avoid that we are giving one of the better players this role and one day later we have to vigi him because he suddenly turns against town.

there are people in here trying to kill GLaDOS. Have you played the game? After GLaDOS gets put in a potato, Wheatley runs the show, and it's not a good thing. That's what I'm afraid of.


Fair enough. I still consider the chief goal to avoid electing a power role to Wheatley. We want someone as (rule-wise) worthless as possible, since if he turns, we won't lose hard assets for the town. I also thing we want someone who's definitely town. So...

me.

Another thought (and I'm not sure this will work) is that we could just never kill GLaDOS, and Wheatley won't turn evil?

So if you're arguing that we should vote you on the basis of avoiding electing a power role, are you claiming vanilla townie?

Fair enough. I still consider the chief goal to avoid electing a power role to Wheatley. We want someone as (rule-wise) worthless as possible, since if he turns, we won't lose hard assets for the town. I also thing we want someone who's definitely town. So...

me.

Another thought (and I'm not sure this will work) is that we could just never kill GLaDOS, and Wheatley won't turn evil?

So if you're arguing that we should vote you on the basis of avoiding electing a power role, are you claiming vanilla townie?


No comment.


You MUST be aware that asking/answering that question is a bad move for town.

I feel like you kind of made it an issue with your last post.

ebwop: On a completely unrelated note, if lurkers are still lurking at the end of the day, I see no problem vigging them, if only to increase the proportion of active, contributing players. Not having to worry about noncontributors (people who, by nature, are difficult to build cases on) means that we can scumhunt among an easier set of players to scumhunt in.

Don't waste the lynch on a lurker, IMO. We have a known third party, and we can vig lurkers as discussed earlier.

Small chance?

I guarantee you all the scum / third party are lynching me because of how easy it is


if we all vote you then town has like a 65% chance or so.


We don't know how many town there are as it is a closed set up.

4 super third party
4 sleeper cells
4+? scum

Then you have all your lurkers etc and people who won't vote me so your looking at around 10% of them going to someone useful at best

And if you have an item that kills 2 random people that vote-lynched you, and it's mostly TP/scum voting for you as you're theorizing...well, personally speaking I'm fine with losing 3 non-town-aligned people early (assuming your theory's true which I honestly doubt)

is he new? if so, your reasoning makes perfect sense...

what do you think about daaz saying he's the dragon? last taunt?

He can correct me if I'm wrong but I think his only other game was student and he acted transparently in that game as well.

My only completed game to date is Student Mafia, yes.

Except your not

Let's think about this. You supposedly give your items to the sleeper cell leader, which pretty much equates to you saying that you're not going to help the town at all. Then, you try to destroy my credibility.

Yeah, that's believable.

There's a difference. Zelblade's EBWOP was in the middle of a post asking about sleeper cells and sleeper cell agents will try to find someway to breadcrumb their identity.

It's hard to believe that you are a veteran.
You don't give any reasoning on voting JJ.
You insult the town while choosing to vote for somebody who will not get lynched over a confirmed non-town player.
You still expect people to vote GlaDOS when you give people no reason to believe you are town.


Except he is chell...

I went through his filter he never even claimed to be chell
Where are you getting this from?

So what powers did you get

It's kind of like an inventor, but limited. Basically, I can give items to players. These items are essentially equivalent to roles, but they're one-shot. I also can't just give items out to everyone; I'm limited in how many I can distribute.

That's all I know right now, but I think this role might expand as the game goes on. I'll keep you posted if anything else happens or the scope of the office expands.

gonzaw, items from me will be handled normally. I can give an item to someone and have them confirm that they received it.

Like I said, it's not exactly like inventor. I guess I could elaborate a bit more than I did - I'm limited in what I can give out to a predefined list of items.

Lemonade or grenades? Either way I'd expect you to demand to see the manager if you get it at first.

Vel, a bit more explanation if you can. You say you can make one-use items, so does that mean you can make more that one of the same item to pass out? Like if grack wants two lemons?

I can get more than one of the same item, as far as I can tell. Lemons are not among those items though.

That's not enough, give us more information.
What is the exact list of items you can invent?

Vig shot, track, watch at the moment. Like I said it's not exactly an inventor role. That's the closest thing I can think of to describe it.

Or if you want a bucket of water I can do that too, I guess.

Also, I believe other players will gain access to the resource that I would be using to get these items as the game wears on.

It's not an item. I need to clarify with the mods to make sure I can share how it works, please hold.

Why could you create a bucket of water? What specific thing about your Role PM tells you you could create such an object?

Stop being vague Velinath, you promised to be transparent about this, so stop wasting our time, just spill everything out from the get go.

My opinion now is that Velinath is now a huge danger to town. We now we have possible evidence from Drazerk's claims that Velinath could be a 3rd party along with his Wheatley ability. Yes Drazerk lied about many things, but he also didn't lie about other parts. What possible motive would he have to have to initiate the election for Velinath and then do a 180 and say "don't vote for him he's a 3rd party" if he didn't run his DT check and it came back great power on Velinath? So based on this, 3rd parties can win with any faction, why does Velinath have to stay town-aligned? He doesn't, and he's a item factory that we cannot control.

I don't know why you're trusting Drazerk on anything given that he was all over the map with his claims. He also claimed that Wiggles was not the same as he was, which would be the use of his power as well. Since from what I can tell of his role PM he could only use this once per day, at least one of those claims is false.

I am a Town player. I am not 3rd party or a Planar Dragon.

I will be more than happy to follow town consensus regarding the item thing. It's not exactly creating items, and I'll explain how the whole thing works once I get confirmation from mods that I can. Inventor was the easiest way to describe it in the context of the game, but as I said there's more to it.

Alright I have confirmation that I can release this.

The Wheatley role gives me access to the Black Market, where I can buy items (and apparently, "services" from other people with access to this) with currency. Right now, I can buy the items I've listed for you previously in the thread. I know for a fact right now that there are others with this access, but I don't know who they are or what faction they are.

I can sell items too, I think, but I'm a little hazy on that.

The way the whole "giving items" thing works is that I can buy an item and immediately have it given to a person I specify.

The Black Market is based around aliases, so if you ask me to buy a specific item and I then purchase it in the Black Market, other people with access to the Black Market will know the alias I post under (they'll be able to compare post times, etc). Please keep that in mind, if you'd like me to purchase items.

Fine, then go and get direct confirmation that it could.

Can you post a list of these aliases to the thread at least?

Perhaps other blue roles can get more info about it.

Aliases are based on BW players. As far as I can tell these aliases have no relation to the actual game. I'd post a list, but there are like 3 people on that list so far and I'd rather not out myself that quickly to the other members of the market.

Unless you think that getting rid of my anonymity to two people I don't know is a good idea, in which case I guess I could.

There's a very simple way to determine if Drazerk lied or not about giving his items to someone else (Cell Leader or not) now that I think about it:



-If you got the "Portal Gun", "Maia Gun", or "Angry Core" once Drazerk was lynched, then claim you got it.
If this was the case, then Drazerk was indeed bullshiting about that and we can just forget about it.
If nobody claims, then perhaps he did give his items to someone else, but it's also likely the items went to scum/3rd party.

The point is that Drazerk's role made his items obsolete, so there's no harm in claiming you got them, right?
(Unless I'm missing something).



He claimed the angry core would take two people down with him, no?

Doesn't matter, even if he got it it would be disabled per his role PM.

The Foolishness I've heard about is not one that just sits around waiting for people to ask him questions, or just comes in around every once in a while and makes a single "clear" point.
If you were anybody else, this would have been fine (for the most part).

But you are not, and I expect a lot of you; initially I expect you to be more active, and at least have posts that have more than 6-7 lines.


You tell me you can't write a 30-line poem or so? If you really want to keep up with this rhyme bullshit, then at least do it right.



If rhyming is your post restriction
It doesn't mean you have to follow it perfectly
Trying too hard to do it is just a constriction
You don't even need to do it subtly

For instance you can just make it apparent
that you want to write in verse
but then just post whatever is your intent
I mean, you can still write verse without it being a rhyme.



His post restriction's probably limerick. That makes things a little trickier.

Also, I thought there was supposed to be "full role reveal on death" ie no flip.

Hosts, is this actually a no flip game?

Also, can we update the OP with the correct time?

No, I do not have a security camera. Inventor is obviously an actual role in this game

Well I think I can now say that because of what item he gave me kenpachi is 100% town and killing glados is the best action the town can do today.

Man, your credibility is already shot. Give us something more than this to explain why this is a good idea.

##Vote: GLaDOS


seems legit and has nothing to do with new information you got concerning your rule, right?

@david: you're welcome bro <3

And then a night post and a day post happened, and GLaDOS is acting just as sadistic as she did in Portal. It doesn't sound healthy.

Plus, I can see "sent to android hell" being a GLaDOS kill flavor, and I had a town read on Foolishness.

Android hell? Nope, that's not GlaDOS.

You don't think so? It was something that she threatened during Portal 1, as has been previously mentioned. I wouldn't immediately eliminate the possibility

I assume you're talking to sinani, but I can probably answer.

If there is a takeover mechanic (which isn't confirmed), I know nothing about how it works. I don't think it's even possible to confirm other cores as in the game unless they were roles and not voted offices.

So, this is late, but I can at least confirm that portal guns do perform as Drazerk indicates.

Nobody's bought anything from the black market yet.

In other thoughts, do we know whether A.T.L.A.S. and P-body are players or not? Their quotes both say "Smurf for Aperture Mafia" and neither of them have posted since right after the Day 1 post.

Given the opportunity to buy a watcher/medic/whatever role, you decided not to? Why is that?

You've used the black market to cover up the fact that you aren't scum hunting. Why aren't you being transparent with you scum reads like you promised when elected?

They're one-shot items, and I'm limited on money at the moment (only got 700 to start, and the sentry gun for example is 300 by itself).

So, my personal scumreads:

Bluelightz
I said it day 1, and his play got put down to meta. That said, like it or not, 90% of his posts have been one liners, fluff, and sheeping. The only halfway serious post I've seen out of him was that on Kenpachi, and it's my feeling that Kenpachi, while he may or may not be town (he claimed to win with town), is at worst a third party, and we need to be focusing on lynching scum day 2 onwards.

Also, as has been stated, opposed policy lynch and then voted to lynch a lurker (rather than a guaranteed non-town lynch day 1, which is near-best case scenario honestly).

One thing that jumps out at me was an immediate sheep on Drazerk's voting me, and then switching to BH with nothing given past "Well, I caught up on the thread..."

Dirk
is a null read for me right now mainly due to Jayjay's most recent post ("I know stuff about his role which is a semi-strong - strong towntell") - I'll go with that for now. I'd like more though at some point.

That said he's obviously a smurf (1 post? Wha?) and if so, he's not playing up to the potential I'd expect from a smurf.

blubbdavid
On March 19 2012 03:00 blubbdavid wrote:
Because I am town. Same as I was in Kaller.
Rule of thumb: blubbdavid posts little or only crap = blubbdavid is town

So if he posts well, he's scum, and if he posts badly, he's bad town? I fail to see how, either way, we'd lose out by getting rid of him.
That said his recent posts haven't been terrible and I assume that the post I quoted was at least mildly hyperbolic. If he continues posting at least semi-quality stuff I'd be willing to hold off.

GLaDOS
Not a player in the game, but I've been reading the nightpost and dayposts. She seems kind of sadistic. Regardless of whether Ken is a third party or town aligned, I feel that we should get rid of her.

I'll add that I think that she killed Foolishness given the kill flavour as I have stated before.

I don't understand this. You are voting for bluelightz too.
I forgot to cast my vote after the case so I ninja'd it. But still, I am the first one to cast his vote on bluelightz (this day).


Ninja voting is very, very bad, and the fact that you admit to doing it, but didn't say so earlier without being prompted makes me very suspicious. The fact that I'm also voting for Bluelightz is not the point of contention here. Ironically enough, I'm more certain of his guilt because of his voting abnormality, and you claim that it's not a big deal? If we can't connect people's private thought processes to their public votes, then it becomes way easier to hide as scum.

For example, when Maverick ninja voted earlier, he immediately explained it the next day and provided reasoning for his vote (granted he was drunk on St. Patrick's Day, but the point stands). Things like that establish transparency, and it makes it possible to do ex post vote analysis.

While you're here, what were you trying to achieve by asking Kenpachi and Grackaroni their roles? Did you think that they would actually give you an answer?

There is the possibility that they are not allowed to claim their party or wincondition. I got suspicious when Grack siad that he was 4th party, but later he then said that he was town.
And I should have looked around better before I asked Kenpachi if he was town, because he answered that in his second post.

Grack's claim was really obviously a joke.

If this was really like Portal you probably wouldn't throw me in the Aperture Science Emergency Intelligence Incinerator. This mafia seems to have taken away the uniqueness of GLaDOS and made her just a narrator rather than a controlling antagonist. just want an explanation.

No other uses stated in the sale, hassy

Might be anti town, no way to be sure due to anonymity on market. I doubt it is kita though, Palmar's slip should have rwlly given anyone with smurfs (ie companion cub) would normally make people more watchful on what acct they werelogged into

on a side note, the lynch tomorrow will be based around a kingmaker item that's being sold on the black market. essentially the person who buys the item makes a list, and the top person on that list that survives today and the following night gets to choose the lynch target for tomorrow

Ghost is your BIGGEST town read right now? are you kidding me?

One of three or four that I have pretty pegged as town. I wasn't going to give the item to someone like Dirk or blubbdavid, anyway. I'm not entirely stupid.

Also, while I still don't like blubb's posting, he was one of the first (the first, in fact) people to vote for Bluelightz today. While I still have suspicions of him, I'm willing to let him slide.

In contrast, sinani hasn't really contributed any content yet, and really didn't "pressure" me at all when he accepted that I said I was town at face value (day 1). Frankly I think he was trying to sneak by and make it look like he was contributing; I certainly wouldn't back off as quickly if I was really trying to pressure someone. I find this unimpressive and honestly, it looks like scum trying to pull a fast one.

Well, since it's only 40 minutes into the day, there's plenty of time to get that info; for now he seems the most scummy player who is currently alive, and therefore a reasonable vote until we know more/have more analysis

@Jay: Maybe I read more into ghost's defense than you did, but I thought it made sense.

Obviously you think you have better reads than me, and that's cool, but I made a call. I didn't give him anything that could kill someone, for what it's worth.

I don't think, I have better reads than you, where did you read that? I just question your ghost read and want to know why you think he's town over a bunch of other players. And why didn't you use the item yourself?

I didn't use the item myself because people have had doubts since day 1 that I was town, so I gave it to someone who looked town to me (again, based on his defense, which certainly persuaded me). If I were to use the item myself I didn't believe it would have as much credence if I reported results from said item.

Does that make sense? I'm really tired.

People had expressed their distrust in me so I went with someone who I thought was town instead. Obviously people think I made a bad choice.

I'm more comfortable with a Bluelightz lynch than a Dirk lynch at the moment. I don't think either of them are great choices, but of the two, Bluelightz is better.

Townie who doesn't care, or scum who knows he's going to get lynched? Either way, that makes him a pretty decent lynch target.

Ok, then I want to see what Dirk claims. I can't really see anyone besides one of you two attracting 3 people on night 1, so if he claims he doesn't kill visitors, then we most likely have a liar between the two of you. If anyone else has ideas for what might have killed them, I'm all ears.
