I have the best proof that I am town that nobody can refute.
Mafia tried to gas my house and kill me in my sleep, leaving my worse half to try to tackle this alone. (Obviously I'm the better half) Luckily it did not work and I shall be able to join you all from this point forward. (My house was fumigated to get rid of a really bad flea infestation, I'm catching up now.)
Currently, WittyHydraName is set to be lynched! ~2.5 hours until deadline. Everyone has to vote!
Also, don't forget about this:
It is common for mafia (and town circles if PMs are allowed) to use a medium outside of TL such as QuickTopics or IRC to communicate during the game. In this game, a QuickTopic will be provided for all Hydras. Even if you communicate through other means, it is requested that you post the most important discussion between you and your other head on there for others to read post-game.

Yeah no kidding, I was just rethinking on my comment from before and was like "Where are the Golems?" 25 hours later... maybe they're not just roleplaying game casters but also conjoined twins being kept ransom? Fuck it, I'm not gonna pay up. I AM NOT ENTERTAINED.
like, i'll admit that they are the obvious lynch candidates. but really hapa? you are the person who asks for never-ending majority lynch cycles, just to make sure that scum gets lynched. earlier this game you were telling me that I was being too hasty about calling wittyname and castinggolems scum and that we have enough time to figure things out... what makes you so sure now?
Like with Witty - what more evidence do we need that they're scum? 1) No effort from two guys with lurky scum-metas. 2) No enthusiasm from Snarfs, who should be overjoyed if he actually rolled town after rolling scum 5 times in a row. 3) No reads, no posts, no nothing in their filter.
And no, I can't see anyone else being scum for now. I'll do a filter dive during the night cycle just to make sure (based on flips and whatnot), but I"m pretty comfortable lynching into Caster/Dirk for the win. Especially Caster at this point, who promised to return with some reads and has not done so. His vote is still on Moology for crying out loud. And Dirk 'b Dirk'n it up.
Hello friends, we apologize for the disruption in service, it seems Real Life decided to knock on our door and we had to tend to it.
That's ok, Soniv, they can't have missed us too much! Now we would like to address Newbie, as he asked us to reaffirm our position on FiveTouch. At the time, we wanted to pressure Five to maybe get a bit out of him. As the game has progressed, we are feeling that he is more townie than not. Hopefully that answers your question Newbie.
Thanks for that, Wave. As it is painfully apparent, WittyHydraName is set to be lynched. How do you feel about that?
Well, it seems rather damning. It is very similar to the game we just got out of (Mafia LX) when, day 1, Promethelax disappeared very similarly when he was pegged for scum. So I am happy to see Witty die. But I ask you this, Soniv: If he doesn't vote, he'll be modkilled (afaik). Should that happen, the town doesn't need to vote for his death. If he shows up suddenly to vote, that's an easy lynch. How do you think town should handle it?
I think that if Witty never shows up (which is looking more and more unlikely as the time goes on), we should switch to Dirk Hardpec. I agree with ObliviousEyes' post here **INSTANTREPLAY**+ Show Spoiler +

The way I see it is: do we lynch a lurker with literally nothing relevant in his filter? Or do we lynch someone who is actively not trying to find scum? Again he makes it seem as though he thinks marv is scum, and again has failed to provide any kind of reasoning beyond "he's a big ol' meanie". If his spam "marv is scum" post can be believed, he seems to think marv is scum. So why not try and get marv lynched? Both Bugs AND Palmar (AND syllo if he's all up in there too) know that "marv is scum" isn't going to sway anyone.
Kill Dirk. He gots to be scum yo.
and this sentiment has been echoed by a few others as well. Dirk is NOT playing as a townie, and I think he should die for it.
And what about our vote for Moology, Soniv?
It should be retracted at this point. I haven't since seen much that leads him to be more damning in my eyes, and so I'm content with him living for now.
##unvote ##vote WittyHydraName
I think our vote should go onto Witty for now, Wave. As unlikely at this point as it may be, I would hate to see any scum funny business in the final hours. However, again, if he never shows and will die anyway, I believe the votes should switch to Dirk.
Hello friends, we apologize for the disruption in service, it seems Real Life decided to knock on our door and we had to tend to it.
So how exactly does this hydra function... do you both edit and produce a post? Because it's surprising to see two independent people completely afk from the thread from RL reasons at the same time.

Firstly, no we shouldn't try to game absences.
Secondly, what other reads do you have besides Dirk/Witty? You're rehashing a ton of the points made in-thread already by other players.
And what about our vote for Moology, Soniv?
It should be retracted at this point. I haven't since seen much that leads him to be more damning in my eyes, and so I'm content with him living for now.
This is a non-answer on Moology. Do you think he's scummy, townie, null... what's your read on him? Be more clear.
I'm not sure what to tell him. Call it coincidence or just plain unlucky, but we both had a bunch of crap going on, and neither of us could get to a computer. If he wants to look back at Mafia LX, he can see that your schedule, Soniv, can be quite restrictive at times. Mine generally isn't too bad, but that doesn't take the business factor of my life out of it. He also says we shouldn't "game absences". I don't really know where he's going with that.
I assume that he means we shouldn't try to take advantage of a Witty modkill. I don't quite understand why though, so maybe he can explain it for us a bit better. As for Moology, I would say he's somewhat null leaning red right now. Can you explain for our viewers why, Wave?
I would love to! Through reading, there was one post that jumped out at us. **INSTANT REPLAY + Show Spoiler +

Honestly it doesn't seem much, Wave. The town has seemingly decided between voting for who annoys them the most; either us for 'casting style' and perceived inactivity and lack of giving them the precise analyses they want, or Dirk Hardpec for doing...well...nothing! I don't know about you, Wave, but this doesn't seem like a town who is keen to scumhunt to me, rather they're quick to jump on easy sheep targets for simple reasons.
Let 'em think what they want, Soniv. They'll come around eventually, I have faith in them. A few recent developments for those still catching up, DrParnassus is an angry guy, Promato's disappearance looking fishy, and ObliviousEyes coming to our defense somewhat.
Oh, but those aren't READS, Wave. We might make someone angry!
Too true. In that case, having a look at NewbieXXXI_Obs Cutie, despite the fact that he has aggressively been pushing for our lynch, actually looks pretty good right now. Gives analysis on major occurrences including the earlier Day 1 'fight' between Parnassus and Moology, and calls out his current scummy looking targets. Parnassus, on the other hand, accuses us of shit-flinging yet directly after this he flings his own at other members of the thread, including a post meaning to 'direct our attention' to WittyHydraName. No support, no real purpose. Fivetouch makes some comment which Parnassus immediately +1s. If I didn't know better I would think the earlier shit-flinging fight Parnassus had with Moology was specifically staged to make the both of them look town, which most people seem to suspect of them. Since our vote is still on Moology right now, I think it's time to hear from the experts' desk; we're going to pass it off to Moology.
Moology, any thoughts regarding your performance last night, or the current voting trends?
Current voting trends looks like everyone is feeling each other out. Hardpec definitely comes across as trolling And Prome is giving us early promises of low activity (I am in the same boat as him.. but still making an effort) Snarfs/Adams have flown under the radar for me; if they dont contribute by closer to lynch will prob vote them. - Especially because they dont have multiple ongoing games to hide behind.
Otherwise for today I am stuck between the trolling of hardpec and aggressiveness of Marv. Marv normally tries to exert himself as town leader, and is actively trying to walk through with people his thought process. This marv is setting up a dictatorship of no tolerance.. and its a marv i havnt seen before. (Kei done fuck all from what I read)
##Unvote I want to discuss the situation with my other head before issuing a vote with intent to lynch. If Omni is not present in the next 8-10hrs, I will make the decision for him.
====================
The reason I dont like the post above, is because ONCE AGAIN, the castingteam summarise the situation and when it comes to the meat and veg, they pass it off to someone else.
Yes, teh flavour is cute, but the strategy is preventing them from being accountable I am actually surprised Promato was supportive of this (justifying them as newbies not expected to contribute).. thats bullshit.You sign up with the big boys, your contributions are just as expected. I dont want to be stuck at LYLO with another "Grush57".

Moo claims that he dislikes the post we made and yet he'll oblige us, and then unvotes us immediately. Maybe Moology can clarify whether that was meant to just discredit us or he thinks that we are scum. I know a few people wouldn't mind killing us tomorrow, but Moo hasn't seemed to take a completely solid stance on it yet. Anything else, Soniv?
Well, looking through again, he called out a few players who dislike the limelight as a scum player. He called me out, but I'm not really sure why. I haven't played scum in probably over a year, and even at that, I've only been scum maybe two or three times. So I'm not really sure where he was going at that (again, maybe just sowing seeds to discredit), and I'd like some clarity on that.

I honestly don't have any trouble following his posts. And I enjoy the roleplaying in general. I just don't feel like they've added much because they've been too focused on their "style" rather than playing mafia.
Some people are growing frustrated while others enjoy the flavor. Just goes to show that you can't please everyone, Soniv!
Indeed that's the case, and I say "tough cookies!" Newbie has still yet to explain why it would be a poor idea to take advantage of someone most everyone sees being scummy being modkilled, or "gaming the absence" as he says.

the problem is that there are things that I would interpret differently depending on who wrote it. they are co-authoring each post or something... yet there are even posts that look like they've been co-authored, but I actually suspect that one person wrote the post attempting to make it look co-authored. all in all there's just no reason for it other than humor, but that effect has already worn off. now it's just frustrating

how many games have you played where a player gets modkilled on D1 for not voting.... it rarely happens. we have no possible way of knowing what the mods will do so if we think he's scum then we should lynch him.... it seems like you're being intentionally thick about this point
