I'm not a recruiter, I'm a hider. I'm fairly certain Arrows was bus-driven as I tried to hide behind him last night, and I didn't die.
That's fine, I understand I need to answer more. If I hide behind any player I am untargettable, however I will die if the person I target dies.
At least these two quotes make sense... what happens if you hide behind scum? I've asked this at least three times FFS! If you don't know (and assuming your telling the truth Anonymiss (note: I hadn't said the name before now despite looking it up) then ask the mods. Be certain and stop dicking us around.
Obviously I'm pretty new to this, but from what I've been able to gather from everyone, Destiny is supposed to be a pretty good player and this kind of behaviour is out of character for him... which if correct, makes me wonder if perhaps there's a little something else to his role forcing him to act a certain way?
I mean he was pretty close to getting lynched a day or so ago, so surely he'd be more accomodating if possible?
He isn't a good player.
If I was going to lie about where I hid last night, do you honestly think I'd choose one of the two people who died?
Interesting you should ask that when I pull out these handy quotes about stuff from.... the past... *insert spooky music*
I think it is perhaps best to ask the questions individually. Are you completely town?
Zeel1, it will be very obvious to me very soon if you are lying. Thanks for your answer. Do you go out at night?
That's the thing, WC.
*I*, lie a lot.
I do so for my own reasons. People have gotten used to it. I understand more than anyone what you THINK you're doing, but you're not.
"Oh, I targeted Arrows and he did nothing!"
Now, you're obviously lying about something here. Is it who you are, or what you did?
Either way, those are things you do not lie about. Lie about your abilities, lie about your role color. Mine's purple, btw.
Do not lie about your character. Do not lie about your actions at night if they effect someone else. You do both, consistently, and bounce around like crazy.
Honestly, nobody cares about anything you say because you're never telling the truth. We don't even want to read your posts because they're just pointless, annoying, and filled with lies.
Basically, your story isn't adding up. Out of everyone in the thread you targetted one of the people who in fact had actually claimed to not be blue, something you also claim you'd be able to tell.
You've repeatedly said you are just a hider, you're claiming an obscure character (apparantly) and you've dicked the town around for days with crappy town play/weak scum play. In mafia game terms, you deserve to die for your in-game crimes regardless of what side you are on because you'd rather talk in the discussionforum than pay any attention the battery of questions posed to you.

You deserve to be lynched because there isn't anyone going to be stupid enough to waste effort on you in the night phase. It's in the town's best interest to lynch Destiny because scum obviously won't do anything about him and Destiny clearly doesn't give a crap about what's going on in the game thread if he's town and is detrimental all round with zero chance of helping. Lynch.

@MLT: I think Destiny suggested Arrows was bus-ed, so he didn't die for that reason.
Still, too much time has been invested in this without a resolution in sight. Derek never (ever) has been one to go on a PP-esque campaign. Destiny's story isn't entirely solid.
This needs to be cut off one way or the other and, the fact is, I don't see a reason to trust Destiny. The evidence against him isn't overwhelming, but we're going to have to deal with this at some point. Do you really see us just ignoring him and going about our business for the rest of the game? Whether he's telling the truth or not, no scum team would kill him!

Okay, MLT is right. This is very fishy. Marv/Arrows definitely died last night -- what gives?
I was pretty pretty much convinced that Destiny was who he says he was, with the abilities, but this makes it look very weak.

03-23-2010, 09:24 PM
Yes.
Honestly, the character he's claiming....
I don't think it's even close to the most likely nCo character to be included. And of all the proomtions in the game, they seem like the ones that would be most cultlike.
Also, with the inclusion of DC as an alignment, who else is starting to think we may be playing a kind of warring families game.
I wouldn't put anything past it, but overall I don't think so. Where would Justice Aligned fall into all of this?
I'm not a recruiter, I'm a hider. I'm fairly certain Arrows was bus-driven as I tried to hide behind him last night, and I didn't die.
Hmmmm...
Like I said, I've been very busy. I still am, but am trying to answer questions as I get to them.
No.
No, no, no, no, no, no.
I refuse to believe that. Come on, man. You've posted half a dozen times in the other threads, the micro game training thread for example. The least you could do is tell us info about this.
Now that I think about it, Arrows is the worst choice for a hider......
.....EVER.
Ditto.
Also, at this point, I'm just going to come out and say it.
Destiny, given that you lose your ability when you reveal who you are, I'm going to assume your anonymous.
And given that you're a female, that leaves Anonymiss.
And as everyone knows...there's no such thing as Anonymiss.
Vote: Destiny
Huh. Look at that.
OK, I can see that something clearly happened to Arrows. Something about an aroma. Any ideas on that one? From the looks of it, it certainly seems as if his "plans" changed.
The only thing I'm struggling with on the whole Bus Driver thing is this: Whomever Arrows was switched with had to have had a target, or Arrows wouldn't have targeted anyone. Assuming Arrows used his ability (other wise he wouldn't have been out to begin with) then chances are we should have seen something about someone doing something they didn't expect.
I'll be honest, my first inclination was that it was some kind of redirection and not a switch.
I have another question though. I've looked over the write up several times, and maybe I've missed something, but what is up with the two hospitalizations. I assume one may be the first part of the write up, but the other?
Interesting stuff, all that. We can't rule anything out, but I'm guessing next night could give us some more answers on that end. Maybe it had to do with the whole Arrows/WC situation?
Vote: Destiny
I don't cooperate with those who don't wanna.

So then you have selective reading. However that is supposed to work.
You've been asked the same questions again and again, still no answer. And not finding you doesn't clear you completely. There are multitude of ways you couldn't be targetable.
Of course, some of those 'ways' don't seem likely at all. So we're trying to get to the bottom of this.

I'm aggressive when I need to be, light touch at other times. It depends on what needs to be said or done to achieve an end. Apparantly getting Destiny to read is going to require a larger font.
I'm going to bed now, this complete ineptitude is getting more frustrating than it should be and the worst thing is I don't think Destiny even realises how bad he's being, which is particularly ironic when he's in other threads trying to help out what is probably the latest incarnation of JJReid/Shorty. It's just.... baffling logic. Mind boggling. Some other combination of words that isn't favourable.

Out of interest, did he turn up scum or town in that?
Not that I'm in any position to tell the difference between him being genuinely annoyed with your lack of input or simply because you make a good target, given your previous near-lynching.
I have to say that if you're going to vote on Destiny, don't say "It's a good idea! I love life and flowers too!" and leave.
Attach yourself to something and be accountable. If Destiny is town, and you try to play the "Aw shucks!" card, you make it hard on the town.
Vote like you mean it (or don't vote at all) or you'll have my attention come next day phase.
Given this, I'm going to come out and say I'm not comfortable enough to place a vote.. a solid case is definitely made, regarding Destiny's playstyle, but I'll need to see more people agreeing on this before I vote. And that's not to jump on a bandwagon, but purely because I need some assurance that it is sound reasoning, and not just a couple of mafioso who might be misdirecting me like a giant sucker.
That said, I'm 90% certain that Destiny's claim is true. I just can't see him--or anyone--thinking that Anonymiss would be a smart character to choose (if anything, choose Anonymous /b/tard or True Anonymous). What I am less certain of is whether or not Anonymiss would be town or cult. Seems like it could go 50/50.

Derek, last time I saw you push this hard was FF. If Destiny is THAT scummy, why do you feel the need to push like that?
That said...
1. Town needs answers.
2. The situation is starting to become disruptive in finding answers as opposed to productive.
So a decision should be made quick.
For me, wasn't the problem with Destiny him being cult. I haven't seen any cult recruitments...

Apparently his character is cult-like. I don't know how that could manage, don't know anything about it. But it's safe to say if Destiny is so, there couldn't have been a recruitment Night 1 for obvious reasons. N2 is only rest to know...

It has nothing to due with the other party being quiet. Maybe I am being far too assumptive but I think that both instances would show up in the write up, since both people clearly had to be out that night.

If he just latched on to the 'hider' part and presumed the stock role, he'd have to be cautious. Upon closer read it seems he has a 'hider-plus' kind of role. I don't think that would materially impact how he would select a target; in fact, doesn't he have a less risky pool to choose from?

My opinion: I'm starting to feel like derek's overplaying this. His instincts are solid, and while Destiny has certainly been playing coy he has not been a complete stonewall.
Could he be scum? Sure, it's possible. But I'm not persuaded by derek's case at this point.
Now that Destiny is finally cooperating I due think some of Derek's remarks seem vitriolic.
My main problem with all this is how Destiny has played the role he claimed. I was Hider in Eville and I thought I did well with the role. Petrija in Simpsons, Astil in SIN, all of us, in our own ways, worked the role to the benefit of the town by being open and active.
Destiny's stalling and secretiveness just strikes me as counter intuitive. He could have been a town leader, but instead its just become a big mess.

I think the problem is that Destiny said he was asking questions to ensure Zeel wouldn't be killing even though he said that he just noticed that part of his write up.
How could he be ensuring something he didn't realize?
yeahhhh I vaguely remember now.
He asked Zeel if what he did at night was harmful or messed with other people or something.
I just always assumed he was hinting at Zeel being a thief (obvious role for catwoman :role is obvious: )

Yep remember, like early in the game before a write up you said who you targetted in case anything happened to you, and when you wound up dead we lynched scum (can't remember who it was) that you hid behind.

He probably is a Hider, just he made some bad choices.
If he is a Hider, easiest way for scum to get rid of him would be to mislynch him.
For all his faults, WC was honest about his alignment at least. I'm already over my quota for lynching folks for playing poorly this game. That is until I can see a little more evidence that Destiny has lied.

True. If I were scum and I knew someone's unkillable during the night I'd try to advocate for a lynch as well. So, unless someone comes up with more proof (targeted and succeeded at whatever he targeted him for during the night) I'm gonna get my vote off of him.

Why did you decide to question Zeel in the first place?
Was it the Catwoman hint?
I don't think you're the type of player to just question someone randomly.
I'm curious about this. Given what he's claimed, his questions seem entirely pointless. Choosing Zeel because of the hint makes sense enough. But Catwoman as a killer, not so much. And now we know that the alignment doesn't matter, so why bother questioning him at all?
Not saying this makes him scum. I just don't understand what he was trying to accomplish. I have trouble buying the cult theory for similar reasons. If you're going to recruit Zeel to, presumably, pick up a thief, why make a spectacle questioning that person in such a manner?
Either way it just seems like a bad play. Which I could accept as an explanation much easier if he had handled the follow up in somewhat of a town-like manner.

Even if we assume that Destiny is, in fact, Anonymiss, which I really doubt, mostly because True Anonymous 1, True Anonymous 2, Anonymous Newfag, and Anonymous Oldfag could all have the same ability, and are all more highly rated within the nCw promotion.
Then there's also the fact that even if he IS Anonymiss, in my opinion at least, nCw lends itself to a mafia or cultlike group more than any other promotion in the mod.
Just as a very simple example: Boxxy Babee (Boxxy) was heralded as the Queen of nChan (4Chan) by about half its population.
Come on now. The concept of Anonymous itself as cult isn't just likely, it's thrust-in-your-face-holy-**** likely. That's what Anonymous is.
But then you add a Queen ("Queen") to that?
I dunno. I'm skeptical of the Justice-ness of any nCw members.
Plus, Destiny's insistence that the only way he could be untargetable is if he was a Hider. Just doesn't sit right.

Grrr, this is another frustrating phase.
Do we want to have lynched someone who's almost unlynchable and someone who's almost un-night-killable (it's a word) by the end of Day 3? No.
However, do we want to lynch someone who's been obstinate and unhelpful, despite having a role that encourages him to let town know every detail about what he's doing (except his role title)? Yes.
Especially when he comes up with claims like "try and target me tonight and it'll prove I'm a hider", even though that will prove nothing. Then when he asked some questions on Day 1 about something he discovered on Day 3. Then when he ignored derek's reasonable questions for best part of a day. We've so far wasted about 2 day sessions on Destiny.
I'm almost convinced myself that he's scum, depsite no counterclaim of hider in a game where there may well be one - and there's little risk in counterclaiming. Of course, if there is no hider then maybe there is an untargettable Cult Leader. Still, it's a risky early claim.
Destiny - your first post today you hinted that you knew Arrows was bus-driven. Obviously you could have been more helpful and said that you knew he was busdriven otherwise you'd ben dead as you'd targetted him. However, maybe you were looking for people responses to your suggestions he was bus driven, as you knew the truth. So, if you were doing this, what did you learn from looking at people's reaction to your suggestion?
We do still have the best part of a day left. There's been a very small bit of pressure on Prophet, with good reason, and he's so far failed to respond. I suggest that we increase that pressure, and actually make it so we've looked into at least 3 people in 3 day phases, instead of our current appalling record of 2 people in 3 day phases.

Aye, I'll concede that through a combination of frustration at how the first couple of days of the game went, me being locked up and my target for hiding dying last night, as well as all the work I have on at the moment (which will be finished this time tomorrow) I've played poorly. That being said, my role is a useful one, and can hopefully help the town from this point forward. I will also try my best to be online at twilight stages of the game so that I can let you all know who I hid behind.
Derek B
03-24-2010, 07:28 AM
A new day, attempting a new level headed approach... *deep breath*
I've already told you everything about my ability. I am a hider, however I can only die at night if the person I target dies or if they kill some body. From what I know, it does not make a difference if the person is town or not. I'm going to sleep now, very frustrated that the town's time is being wasted on me once more when all you needed to do was attempt to target me last night.
The bolded is info you were asked for on D2 that you only shared today. The large bolded is new info in this post. The larger bolded is info I asked for repeatedly and new in this post... and yet you STILL haven't/hadn't checked this with the mods, which is important that you do. Your frustration is nothing compared to the frustration I'm feeling at how badly you have played and how you have failed to see questions despite being around... and I can tell you are around because you aren't set to be invisible... and you post all over the place rather than read in here. That is a behaviour that equals bad play, which is also behaviour I consider to be scummy.
Derek, last time I saw you push this hard was FF. If Destiny is THAT scummy, why do you feel the need to push like that?
That said...
1. Town needs answers.
2. The situation is starting to become disruptive in finding answers as opposed to productive.
So a decision should be made quick.
For me, wasn't the problem with Destiny him being cult. I haven't seen any cult recruitments...
I'm pretty sure I was town at that point... I mighta been scum later. There are times I push hard, alignment is hard to tell since it largely is based on how annoying other people are through bad play... or I'm talking them to the gallows like I did with PraguePride, who was scum and claimed my role that I really didn't want to claim and had to defeat without claiming. Sorta worked... :(
Apologies, you're not mistaken. When I went back to read my role PM I noticed this part, and realised that I hadn't posted it before. However, upon thinking about it, this should really help us should I die but the person I hide behind ever not.
I wanted Zeel1 to be as honest as possible in his answers, and I obviously didn't want to hide behind somebody that may kill at night, hence me asking him if he was out to cause harm.
And consistency goes for a walk....
Didn't you say you just noticed that that was in your PM? If that's the case you wouldn't have realized it when you asked Zeel.
Or maybe I'm misinterpreting.
You know ... Zeel wasn't completely town... helluva coincidence.
Also a theft was shown N1, so I imagine recruitment > theft.
I pointed out earlier that I noticed the Catwoman section hinted towards a recruitment, whether it was recruiting Zeel or Zeel recruiting someone else. I lean towards Zeel being recruited, which brings me back to the argument I made on D1 against Destiny. I would believe DC recruiter over Anonymiss any day. Hell, if he claimed that I'd probably just leave him be as that would make more sense than everything that has been said up to now.
I'm sorry you've wasted so much time in me, pleas bare in mind that some body thought it would be smart to lock me up for over a phase.
No you were not. You were locked up for one [B]night phase.

That. Destiny, you were locked up for 24 hours after which you said you weren't online anyways so it didn't really matter. So now it didn't matter AND it did matter? Really? Rly? Ryleh?
How can you not understand this!? You were on-line. You posted in other threads. On the mafia forum.
Stop trying to push this, I've been busy crap. Its really irritating, and makes you look foolish. Do you not think we can read the other threads and see the time stamps?
You have wasted the towns time. All this info could have come out ages ago. You will notice I don't have a vote on you, but please realise you have played poorly.
And at least it isn't just me.
I've got nothing against lynching Destiny on the principle of his play in this game... and I know it's going to keep distracting me if he's still alive. But at the same time, I know I'm getting tunnel visioned by this but it's because things don't add up. There is a logical character claim but the actual info around it is contradictory and the character is an unlikely nobody. To me it feels like Destiny is hiding something, which by now is making me believe he is scum trying desperately to hang on by saying as little as possible, which is why he's answered questions so badly.
Apologies for the large font, I want Destiny to read this and stop being a distraction...
Destiny: As a better-than-normal hider you should be revealing your targets as soon after the end of night phase is called as possible, in order to help clear people from being killers. Doing so in the dawn phase between end of night and nigiht write up means we might even be able to catch killers in the process of killing. This gamethread should be your first port of call, before any other mafia thread as this is where your presence is being questioned. Failure to co-operate will result in your death in this game.
That is how hiders should play their role. Don't hold information back. Your duty for the rest of this phase is to asks the mods the following question and report back to this thread with a paraphrased answer so that you don't get modkilled for quoting a PM.
"Dear mods... Derek has advised be to be as certain as possible about this information so as to be awesome. If I hide behind scum, will I die?
Be certain. Leave no doubts, no wiggle room, no was for you to possibly be wrong or for anyone else to say you are being inconsistent. Don't punch holes in your own story. If you are telling the truth then there is nothing to fear as you will be hiding safely behind someone tonight anyways and there will be no risk of lynching you. If you are lying, you will die. Failure to co-operate will also see you die. People will not accept another day phase on you... I'm not even sure they'll accept the rest of this day phase if you don't do something about this post.
And now, I return you all to something resembling fun, which is what I should be having... along with lunch probably as I'm hungry.

I still believe you should be lynched. But if you aren't, you need to follow through on that plan. Any deviation will see you lynched. And when I say to tell us who you hid behind as soon as possible, I literally mean you log into GDS, make sure you aren't already dead and then post who you hid behind stating that you haven't read up yet and everything.
Out of interest, what do other people make of what looks like a DC alignment recruiting? I know there was a little discussion about the alignment earlier but a recruiting town group? Why DC instead of anyone else? Or is there more? I'm taking Zeel at his word that he was straight ahead blue to start with... which begs the question of why it took til N2 to recruit him since he was out there on D1.

Its a hard one, as we could be going in completely the wrong direction. Zeel may have just not wanted to reveal his DC alignment, he may have been a mason from the get go. Or thought it would cloud day 1 discussion.
I had to go back and look at the write-up, didn't pick it up first time around, but there was definitely a meeting taking place. Its worded as a reunion, which makes you think recruitment straight away.
So recruiting masons who can only recruit DC characters? Its a definite possibility.

DC aligned certainly points to a limited group... and thinking about it logically, I'm not sure they'd be the only ones. Someone mentioned a warring families type mechanic earlier, I worry that this might be the case. And it explains something from earlier in the game too...
This makes me sad if I'm right, I can't see it being good for the town in the long run.
I'm heading to work now, no doubt I'll be bored enough to ponder this more while I'm there and come to more frustratingly negative conclusions. I'm hoping I'm wrong... and that something good comes from this day in the near future.

Well, at least we're getting somewhere. Pondering other avenues can only be good for the town. If the DC group are masons, it may be wise to appoint a spokesperson in future phases if this continues to become a point of discussion.

So you were not out on Night 1 but were out on Night 2, when we had some additional noteworthy activity? If that's correct, were you in the write up?
Also, any character or role info you want to share to ease our minds that you're not responsible for the extra kill or anything, now might be a good time.

Minds might need easing because Night 2 included a shooter who killed someone, and a monster who nearly killed someone. So someone who didn't go out on Night 1 but was out on Night 2 becomes a likely suspect.
So I think more info is required here. Something to make me think you're not out attacking people would be nice.

Don't get me wrong, I get what your trying to do. But at this moment it seems like its only your mind. And to be fair, it seems like your picking people out at random and asking them questions.
People know, I'm a great believer of keeping my cards close to my chest, Zeel hinted, he's dead. Arrows role was out there, he is dead. If what Derek has hypothesised is true, and there are 2 scum groups, they will try to avoid each other like the plague, hinting is bad for the town.
I dont kid myself that I'm one of those players that will get protected, and my role really isn't important enough to warrant it anyway. But I think I can be useful, and I'd rather not be dead.
I also have no reason to trust you, and I know how good a player you are.

If someone else pointed that strategy out would you immediately remove your vote to make it appear that you weren't doing such a thing?
If there was something specific about Destiny's claim that makes you now find it believable when you didn't before, feel free to share. I'd be interested to hear.
No, not if I truly believed he's a threat to the town, but I'm quite undecided at the moment.
Because:
A) We don't have much room for a mislynch as we haven't offed a bad guy yet (if you assume that Catwoman was part of a pro-town mason group).
B) We could easily test Destiny's claim. Can't be that hard to find a townie with a night ability that wants to test if he's lying or not, right?

There's been nothing random about what I've been doing. At this point I'm fairly convinced that you're lying about being in the write up. It's still technically possible that it wasn't you and that someone else is lying, but so far you fit better.

Just caught up with everything.
Since Destiny has become so forthcoming with the answers, I'll re-ask why is it that he said that he only recently discovered that he'll die only if someone scum he hides behind kills, yet he later said that he was asking Zeel/Catwoman Qs on day one because of that very ability which he didn't find out after the fact?
If we're misinterpretting this, then by all means explain it away, but for now that still leaves me suspicious about the whole thing. And even believing his claim, I'm still not really sure why that specific mechanic would be a part of his character.
That said, surely SuperOwens has just made things a whole lot more interesting. If you do have the role you say you do, why not claim? Also seems like there's no point holding back on any information you may have found out.
Then again, let me ask you this: why would you offer up that role ability so soon?

And testing his claim, as well as can be done anyway, was as much of an option earlier when you said you didn't believe him and when you voted for him early in the phase. I'm not clear as to why that's a better option now than it was then.

You targeted Nedew. Given that he was attacked by a monster and hospitalized, and that you admitted to not going out when there was no hospitalization but did go out when there was, could you explain how my thinking you could well be that monster didn't make any sense to you?
How did the likelihood that I knew you targeted him not occur to you.

So your earlier vote was to get info out of him? Because that was far from clear when you cast it. Your point during the night phase seemed to be that you didn't believe his claim, not that he needed to give more info. So I presumed your vote today, which referenced that opinion, was based on not believing him rather than an unmentioned search for more info.

Hunch over concrete evidence is a gamble.. then again I'm sure you were to question SuperOwens eventually.

I know that it isn't certain that he's being honest, but the guy's hinted at being an investigator.
Why would you vote on someone claiming to be an investigator?
He doesn't seem to keen on giving a role title, but I'd gladly take of my vote when he does.
So your earlier vote was to get info out of him? Because that was far from clear when you cast it. Your point during the night phase seemed to be that you didn't believe his claim, not that he needed to give more info. So I presumed your vote today, which referenced that opinion, was based on not believing him rather than an unmentioned search for more info.
What exactly was the info gathered today that made the difference for you?
I didn't get any extra info on him or stuff like that. The thing that made the difference is that he says he has hidden behind Arrows while that would clearly be a dumb choice if you were making things up.
Assume that I'm scum and that I'm fake claiming hider. When someone asks "Who did you hide behind then?" I wouldn't pick the guy that was killed during that nightphase which makes stuff even more difficult considering I've also said that I die if my target gets killed. I'd pick a quiet guy or a proven townie if I had to make something like that up, not the guy that just got killed.

Then again, by claiming he hid behind Arrows, he doesn't have to risk claiming to have hidden behind someone that might be in a write up but his part isn't shown. Thats assuming Destiny is scum and in the same scum group as the bus driver and killer.
Thats just the other side though. I agree saying he hid behind Arrows only draws more questions for him.
Destiny either has to be more upfront from now on or return to yet more suspicion. I'm not sold 100% he's town, I really do think think a game this size would have a hider, and no ones counter claimed so I'm willing to look elsewhere, provided Destiny does his part in the future.

Ok, thanks. I don't disagree with the basic point here. Doesn't seem like a useful lie to tell. But then even if he's telling the truth he's played things poorly, so a bad scum play isn't out of the question. Could be the speculation of a bus driver made him think it was better than making up a name, but I don't recall the timing of his claim versus other speculation.
Makes me wonder why when you removed your vote that you quoted and agreed with Anti's point about scum wanting to mislynch a hider rather than this idea about his claim not being a good lie. Why not state the reason for the change rather than a possible strategy that relies on Destiny having been telling the truth, which you say you're still not sure about?

I agree that he played his role very poor if he is in fact a hider.
Because that was another big reason why I took my vote off. I was afraid that scum would be piling up votes on him and lynch an almost unkillable townie (if he's telling the truth), so I took my vote off.

Derek, if I were to choose, I'd choose ier at this moment. Did you notice that SO used a plural pronoun in his response before begging off, as if to imply that he's part of a group (and now perhaps their spokesperson)? Also SO did promise to respond in greater detail, and we have time to allow him the chance to keep his word.
Once I hear SO's more complete response, I'll evaluate it and decide whether I join an SO bandwagon or start/join an IER bandwagon.

Because you jumped on a bandwagon that was clearly stalling with little more than a token explanation, then called out another player for doing just what you did.
In fact, the rationale of 'not splitting the vote' indicates to me that you're not as confident in the Prophet=Dark Phoenix theory as you'd like to present or that you were just throwing it out to see if it would build a head of steam on its own.

Pure speculation of course, but I guess he'll lay it all out once he gets back. Depending on his answer I may need to make a vote change. I still find Destiny suspect, but I'm starting to think it'll be better to wait and see what happens when someone targets him tonight, and if he starts becoming more productive.

I can protect somebody, downside is they get wrapped in my tendrils and are essentially blocked as well.
I can watch over a target, downside is I cant stave my instinct for violence so anybody targeting them may end up in a bad way
I also have a kill.
Venom is bad, I know that, you know that. My pm says something about not everything being the same in this universe and I think I'm basically half and half.

Not entirely true... the promotion has them together, but they're divided by faction and alignment within that promotion. And I recall d_w_w having quite a good run at playing the two against each other.
So it could be possible that kind of extended his diary scenario into this mafia world, with the addition of some random anime and the more colorful characters found within the verse.

Not really. Zeel said early on he had an extra line in his win condition, although that may have been after he was recruited. Suggests he had this extra line from the beginning - you'd hardly shout about a change in win condition. Extra line = DC aligned.

Claiming a reckless monster. Damn. If Venom's not out there murking people apart, then who is? Of course, there may be several answers if we rely on the Over9000 world, but on paper this is something I find hard to stomach. What concerns me also is a protection may be hard to prove throughout the write-ups, as well as watching, unless again, several people find themselves in one scene. That leaves his investigation/silencing and a kill...
Though if SO was truthful, I think he would definitely come up as "over 9000!!!!" on Jman's radar, meaning Prophet's case... well, it's still half and half on that end, but surely you know where I'm coming from.
Wouldn't surprise me if this game was loaded with such powerhouses of the sort, needless to say my character is nowhere near that.

The same thing. I can confirm its true.
I didn't believe it, the way it came out was odd. I thought it was strange for it to come out anyway. And I can think of about 4 recent games where it has been implemented as a scum ploy.
And you thought it was better to block him now rather than give him the chance to prove it on his own. I thought it was kind of odd as well, but it would have been known eventually and if he took longer than you expected you could have investigated him at a later time. Also not sure why you waited until Night 2.
The problem I'm having here is that, if we're on the same page here, it makes more sense to me for scum to target him with that ability than town.

Question is, is it worth the price of 'proving' your abilities? Given your stated 'drawbacks' to your one-shots, I lean no.
There is an easier way.

Anyone ever consider the possibility that there are Marvel and DC characters that start out Justice aligned but are recruited to their respective groups and that can still win with Justice (being that they are heroes) but maybe have to compete against each other too?
May depend on roles and abilities overall, but I wouldn't rule it out. Maybe not the latter part though.

Not really. Zeel said early on he had an extra line in his win condition, although that may have been after he was recruited. Suggests he had this extra line from the beginning - you'd hardly shout about a change in win condition. Extra line = DC aligned.
The extra line could be that he had to outnumber members of the Marvel group at the end as well...
right?

Not entirely true... the promotion has them together, but they're divided by faction and alignment within that promotion. And I recall d_w_w having quite a good run at playing the two against each other.
So it could be possible that kind of extended his diary scenario into this mafia world, with the addition of some random anime and the more colorful characters found within the verse.
Although, it's got to be said, if Venom isn't a bad guy, it makes you wonder just who does qualify for one?
That's just more reason to think that the alignments are fighting each other. >.<

Speculation about DC and Marvel aligned is just that. Until we get a(nother) Marvel character claim or lynched, we're not going to know if Marvel aligned even exists. Or even if they're at war with one another. However, Zeel wasn't 100% aware that his extra line wan't in every town win condition, so I think suggestions for it so far are out.
Might there be DC aligned and not Marvel aligned? Sure - how many Mason groups do you want? Whether that suggests more or less Marvel character could be taken either way - however, why would Venom be a townie? It's possible lynch bait... or possible scum.

True and yet, in one phase, two people claim Marvel characters.
Obviously this isn't DC vs Marvel Mafia. But there is something going on with the DC/Marvel thing in this game.

It just seems highly unlikely that one would be in the game without the other.
And given information on the history of the two groups in real life, in the Over9000-verse, and from information crayon gave on d_w_w's diary on the subject, it seems as though the only logical reason for them to be separate groups is that they're at war.
And if they ARE at war, no Marvel or DC character is going to claim.
The only time any of them will claim is if they also say that they aren't Marvel/DC aligned.
So we'll never learn anything on either group.

I was never a big Marvel fan but I do recall that Venom was a hero for a while (and may still be). That said though, personally, I consider the character a villain.
Rev was the mod for Marvel Mafia, the two SK's in that game were Venom, and gasp, Dark Phoenix.

I did have other ideas for night 1. Primary WC and Destiny. I ruled out WC because I thought it was essentially pointless and didn't want to waste anything on Destiny, without knowing if he could be targeted or not.
I went through the thread again and then found it. It was sandwiched in-between spam and missed it first time around.

If we lynch SO, we learn something important about the Marvel/DC mechanics, no matter what his alignment is.
1) He's Justice, which means not all Marvel/DC characters are Marvel/DC Aligned. It doesn't put to rest the cult theory, but I don't know how likely that is to begin with. It also raises questions about normally morally ambiguous characters.
2) He's Marvel Aligned, absolutely confirming they're at war (or he'd have no reason to lie), and kind of leans towards saying that there isn't a supergroup of evil.
3) ...He's Supergroup of Evil Aligned, and we lynch scum. Yay.

No, I'm saying that I believe he is scum.
Now, if he turns out to be town either we learn:
a) he's a Justice aligned Marvel character, suggesting there's no Marvel aligned
b) Marvel aligned exists
In the meantime we may get a marvel character suggesting Marevel aligned either exists or not.
So, we learn information about something that could be important to the town (if tehy are truly at war). Or we lynch scum.
And I believe the result will be we will lynch scum.

Honestly, I'd put Venom on the other side of the barrel. Granted he's been a hero for some time, but with the number of guys out there available for choosing, I'm really not sure. Venom is largely reveled as a bad motherfudder. Then again, it could be the mods screwing with us.
This said, which option looks more likely? Venom being Justice along a myriad of townie characters/heroes or part of a supergroup of villains wanting to wreak havoc left and right?
