Power Rangers Mafia (Game Thread)

[praguepride]

In that case, I think I calmdown a bit. I was hyper-aggressive in getting the votes because I thought the deadline was in just a couple hours.

I'm still 100% convinced Self is either scum or playing town REALLY badly and either way, he's better off dead.

[moon_lit_tears]

Then defend yourself like a townie should, because that's what you're NOT doing. A hint, a clue, Kelly Kelly's bra, SOMETHING. Playing the "I kick ass at mafia so don't lynch me." card is...weak.

I agree.

If you are town and the heat is on you, you should give up SOMETHING so people can move on.

By not doing that you hurt the town and your chances of surviving.

[praguepride]

Are you saying you're unlynchable?

If he is, best to find out D1 and send the Power Ranger Vig's to kick his butt tonight.

I wish I could guess further by what kind of scum you are, but at this point there's way to many options. Hell, I'll settle for one of those clay gimps if that means I was right :D

[SuperOwens]

See, you're saying I'm "posting scummy" well I don't think there's ever been a mafia player dumb enough to play THIS aggressive if they're scum. Page 1 of the Scum Handbook is to blend in, to not stand out. Clearly, by immediately switching my vote onto whoever Votes on me, and being generally aggressive, I'm doing the exact opposite. I'll let you in on a little secret. I am not a moron. I'm actually pretty damned smart. If I was Scum, I wouldn't play like this. It saddens me that you think anyone would.

And the Town has A LOT to lose by lynching me. I was the MVP of FF-Mafia. From that, any scum team would think "Gee, that's a strong player, let's see if we can put suspicion on him" which is what I think you might be doing... at least I hope you are. If you genuinely believe I'm scum I think I might cry. It's just so sad.

I'm not going to claim, because I don't see a reason to.

I like you Self, think your a funny guy. Great poster, make me smile. You live in Wales which is always fun, but.... Smacks of a bit of arrogance here. I'd like to hear more from you than this is just sad and stupid.

Vote: Self

This, and

I'm not attempting to defend myself because this is the single flimsiest argument I've ever heard in my Mafia career. I almost feel sorry for you.

this, I don't feel comfortable with. Hmm.

*Kimberly, right?*

Hahahaha, but no. I'm thinking more of a guy, would be quite the obscure hint if I'm right. Thus I doubt it. Meh, it could be the case but I'll wait until further. I mean, this could just be lprock capitalizing on the fact his character has a minimal connection with the word cock and that the connection is.. flimsy at best. /shrug



Anyway, I'm def willing to push on this right here. Things look off. He's not defending himself much like a townie. Plus the risk/reward moniker, etc.

Sorry but that's rubbish. Everything in mafia comes down to WIFOM. There is no one way to play scummy (take it from someone who's probably only just beind Crychon in the amont of times he's been given a scum role).

I have played different scum roles in different ways, on one particular occassion delibrately trying to stick out to appear "too obvious". A flimsy argument breeds a flimy defence, perhaps...

Scum don't play aggressive? Damn!! I knew I'd been doing something wrong in South Park... and Simpsons... and Final Fantasy... and Destroy All Monsters (sorta)...

Someone had also better warn Arrows about this too. And MNN... and so many others.

I think that's enough of a point made for the time being. Basically, there are many ways to play. Sarcastically is the best one IMO, it works so well over the internet. :)

But alright. I'll play along.


As a scum, I have done the exact same thing while trying to pull the exact same ploy. I was doing a "helpful townie, hiding in plain sight without ACTUALLY adding anything" gimmick, and derek called me out, saying I was acting scummy and he posted a bunch of reasons why I was.

I couldn't really defend myself, so I played the same game you're playing trying to dismiss it as being stupid, as asking for specific examples etc.

But the point is I've already posted NUMEROUS TIMES specific examples about how you're acting scummy.

Now make your false claim so we can lynch you.

I'd recommend claiming MJD's role... cos, ya know... he says he can't. :)

[praguepride]

As for the questions of my activity level, I'm really pissed that I wasn't online this morning. Had an early morning meeting but then what was supposed to be an afternoon meeting was rescheduled back to back, so I was not able to be online at all this morning.

Yesterday I was doing simple testing which is why I was so active, but that's done and I actually have real work to do so I can't sit online waiting for other people to post. I'm sorry I couldn't be online to really hammer this in, but then again you give scum enough rope and they'll lynch themselves.

derek boasted last game about how he had a "profile for scum" and I realize that Self is making all the mistakes I made last game.

1) He tries to blow past suspicion like it's not any bother
2) When suspicion is directly leveled at him, he doesn't drop a single hint or clue to help his case, he just responds with a canned "I'm not scum, you're scum" counter-vote scheme.
3) When pressure really starts to be applied he shuts up, only coming back once the spotlight had been moved
4) He never actually added anything. He's only just repeated what other people have said. I believe I've added a ton to the town even while I was struggling to get caught up, posting as many times as I could to clue other people into what I was thinking.
5) A ****y, carefree attitude of "bring it!" in that last post. If he was town, he wouldn't be looking for an arguement, he'd be trying to convince me that he's not town because town knows that misdirected suspicion is far too harmful while scum know that huge arguements that lead to confusion and indecision are helpful. Right now scum have the advantage of time being on their side because we lose our strength the longer the game goes without scum lynches.


Here you go, as I posted near the beginning of my assault, an itemized list of why you are scum. Hell, I even numbered it for easy convience.

There you go, squirm away :D

[praguepride]

So Self, in this short amount of time you're now up to 9 votes.

45% of the way to being lynched when just 2 hours earlier, you only had a single vote on you.


That means you've raised 40% in 2 hours, which means every minute you're going up .66%.

By this calculation, you'll be lynched in just 90 more minutes. Still think this is beneath you to even provide a single clue to your identity.

:puts on wannabe mod hat:

Someone talking about past games is natural. I've talked about R+B, Cartoon Chaos, SW2, people have talked talked about Derek in FF, Self in FF, everybody in FF , marvel etc etc.

But we are here to play this game, not replay others. You start posting X from FF, someone else posts Y, next thing ya know old arguments from other games start distracting from this one.

[praguepride]

Whoops, bad math.

He's going up .33% each minute so it'll take 180 minutes (3 hours) to lynch him at this rate.

But that's beside the point because that's well within the deadline time frame.

Fair enough. I'll just leave it that anyone who wants to replay this whole fight can go to my fight with derek in the FF game.

It's almost cut and paste arguement wise.

First comes the deflection, then the "I'm not scum, you must be scum" posts.

However, I deviated at this route, trying to go for the helpful townie (i.e. trying to "work with derek to figure things out) while Self is taking the "high" road of not bothering to "sink to my level".

Can't say his way is any more effective then mine :D

Whether Self lives or dies is up to him and the story he tells (or doesn't tell). I don't get why you are all bent out of shape (not the player) over it. Being blood thristy doesn't really accomplish much in these games, least, thats been my experience.

I'm always ultra-paranoid, and a scum tactic is to dump useless info and side conversations to split people's focus and increase confusion and chaos.

If EVERYONE does it, it's much harder to pick up when scum is doing it.

Being bloodthirsty is only good if the person you're thirsty for is Main Scum. If they wind up being town, it looks really bad on you.

Or if it's secondary mafia, you can still look really bad as you thought you'd be taking out town.

[praguepride]

Or if it's secondary mafia, you can still look really bad as you thought you'd be taking out town.

Fair enough.

In my defense, this is the first time I've caught some strong scum tells and backed one up into a corner. I'm excited, what can I say, full of naive youth and enthusiasm.

As for it looking bad on me, eh. I'm town, but not a vital one. I'll go 1:1 with even the lowliest of scum if I can because then I feel I'm of more use.

If he IS town or pro-town indy, he's played his defense very poorly and if he really did have town's best interest, he'd try to defuse the situation as quickl yas possible with hints and claims rather then waste time, effort, and resources playing the "I'm too good for this" card.


Look at it this way.

He's either:

1) Scum <--- very very very likely
2) Indy
3) Major Character Town
4) Minor town flunkie

Now let's address each of these in turn

1) Scum: He'd play just like he's playing now. Being mysterious, not hinting, not claiming, just trying to skate by until the pressure is off. A real town would reveal info because that helps everyone know he can be trusted.

2) Indy: Possible, but I think even an indy survivor would have made a claim by now and tried to pull off a survivor deal. Possible as well, but again lynching him would help clear up the non-town side of things and while not as useful as straight up lynching scum, still not a complete waste as he's bound to come under suspicion sooner or later.

3) Major Character. Major enough and powerful enough that at first claiming is not a good idea. The main problem with this is that scum have a great opportunity at n1. If they kill him, town has no leads AND I and everyone voting for him look bad because we'd all come under suspicion for being gung ho on lynching a major character.

4) Minor Character: If he was truly a vanilla townie or close enough to it, he would have hinted or claimed by now

Once again Prague, you articulate your points very well, which is why I've thrown my support in your favor.

[Self]

You really do think you've caught Scum, don't you? I'll forgive you a bit, because I am playing like a jerk right now. I have done so for my own amusement, and to be honest, it's beginning to not be funny any more. I'm not helping the town, and am being a massive distraction. If this was anything but Phase 1, that would be a big no-no, but it's not like much info was gonna be gleamed today anyway.

I might be more cooperative soon. No promises. I'm gonna play UFC for a bit.

[The Two]

You know, I wasn't entirely convinced by Prague's case, but Self's refusal to give us anything by way of reassurance other than, "I am leet Mafia, I refuse to respond" just reeks of evasion and has convinced me he's scummy.

Did you claim an ability besides being immune to noise?

If that's your ability, you're safe from one monster in Power Rangers' vast universe. That monster was on ONE EPISODE. Basically, you're claiming an obscure character who's only ability to to counter another obscure character.

We're talking almost "guy with hat extra" level obscure.

Can someone explain to me what I must have missed here?

[SuperOwens]

I might be able to get away with saying that someone isn't who they claim if they claim who I am. I can't say that's the reason, but I'm just hypothesizing.

Also, I made my identity super-clear (to those that know the show and have read well).

Finally, Vote: Zero9Teen

To be completely frank, if you people let this guy get away with a claim of possibly the most obscure character in the history of American TV, yet you lynch my claim of Sora, you're all nuts. Absolutely bonkers.

That Melissa girl was only in ONE episode as far as I know and her only contribution to the series was being able to resist a monster-of-the-week's power.

That monster was on the show ONCE too...

Unless I just read horribly and he's not actually claiming her, he's a lying liar from liar-ville.

Not sold on this at all either mate. But its just so bloody hard questioning him! :D

[lprock]

Did the monsters ability involve screaming very loudly in peoples ears?

[mjdgoldeneye]

Not sold on this at all either mate. But its just so bloody hard questioning him! :D

What is there to question? Power Rangers is nearly as old as I am and still going, yet we casually believe that a character from one early episode who's only significance is her mundane disability made it into a game as relatively exclusive as this?

I bet I can name 39 better suited characters from the first season, let alone 16ish seasons!!!

Can ANYONE acknowledge my arrant disbelief and perhaps give me a reason why I'm not correct here?

[mjdgoldeneye]

The monster played music that took control of the town's kids I believe. He was a completely generic monster-of-the-week that was killed in the same fashion as maybe 2 dozen other monsters from the earlier episodes. (Fight, episode themed set back, over come setback, rematch, giant robot/monster battle, victory...)

I noticed that part. I figure you have some sort of passive ability though.

That is irrelevant.

Being Melissa alone is crazy enough. Having a passive ability or being vanilla (if you claim vanilla, you're surely lying) is even more baffling.

Then The Two would probably put you next to SuperOwens and myself on his personal hitlist. Me.... I wouldn't care one way or the other, I try to avoid letting personal sentiment get in the way of massacring people. Did I say massacring? I meant loving them in a fuzzy wuzzy way. Obviously....

MNN, I'm gonna let the outside NY team rooting slide ... for now. We may need to revisit this later, and strengthen your resolve, though (unless the G-men play like maroons, in which case ... go Jags! They have pretty uniforms. :p)

Now, aside from the silliness of it all ... Z9t sticks out like a sore thumb. In a world of giant monsters, and spandex clad heroes, playing the audibly immune dancer from a one shot episode is like waving a red blanket at a bull. And I'm inclined to believe that it's because he has to. At least for now.

As for Self ... PP makes a real strong argument, considering the limitations of it being day 1. And Self not wanting to/not seeing the purpose of/not caring to partake in his own defense makes me skeptical of his allegiances. We still have time, and I don't want to add to the pile which could lead to a rush to the gallows, wherein we do lose an important townie who chose a poor tactic at this stage, so I'm not gonna vote ... yet. However, after a stint of UFC, if Self returns, and still hasn't helped us refocus, we may need to look into this.

You did make me as cold as ice Derek last game.

You were willing to sacrifice our love :(

I was perfectly happy sacrificing a lot more too, your love just happened to be the first thing that came to hand... so to speak. :p

he could be Blue aligned as well.

marvel Day 1 anyone?

I had considered the same thing but I don't believe he is given some other hints. Plus, I also believe in people defending themselves... if Self gets lynched simply because he didn't then I'll be as annoyed at him as I was at everyone lynching Donald in Sin.

I'm also pretty obscure as far as I can tell. Plus, I think Arrows has already confessed to watching a LOT of early PR. Seems like we'd get a bunch of people from there to leave space for a sequel... oh god NOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!

But look at his little face. Its so forlorn...

In all seriousness, I bow down to your Power Rangers knowledge. I knew the character was obscure but not that obscure.

Im guessing the Arrows factor and PP's gung ho posts have slightly distracted people. But yeah, not sold on it.

My point was that we aren't going to get any extra info from him. And with people looking elsewhere would it not be a wasted vote at this time.

[Self]

If this game is MMPR alone (and I have no reason to believe it isn't) then I could see a fairly memorable one-shot character like the deaf girl being in it. I think even I remember her, and I was only in it for what passed as martial arts back then.

It's an interesting roleclaim to keep an eye on.

mjd, I don't wish to steal your thunder, but we've already got a prime target (self) and a bandwagon rolling.

Self has proclaimed that at 16/20 votes he'll finally defend himself. Sounds like both a challenge and fun as well.

I think once we get close there will be enough people around to pull off votes if its believable. As for Zero19, once we're done with Self I'll help lead the next bandwagon against him. You do raise good points about the obscure character reference, but we need to focus on one thing at a time.

Right now Self is (imo) acting far more scummy then an obscure claim released under little to no pressure. So he's prime target #1. If he can actually get off his high horse and defend himself to my satisfaction (unlikely) or we lynch his scummy butt, then Zero19 can be our D2 focus.

[Tha Black Phenom]

16.

...buying some time?

What did Self do now?

Please don't tell me we're going after Self on a hunch when someone just claimed plot macguffin #19...

It's more than a hunch, but I understand your concerns on Zer019teen(I find it cool typing it like that). Personally, I think we've got all we needed off him, and the most safe course is of course to inspect into Z9T tonight. To me, Self is the bigger option here.

People keep saying PP has a strong argument. I disagree. He has a LOUD argument. His only points were:

1) I bandwagoned derek (see end of FF & sign up for why)
2) I didn't get derek's hint (wrong, I did)
3) I'm being aggressive.

I'll admit being aggressive isn't usually my style, but from where I'm sitting I'm being mock-aggressive. Putting a vote on Astil just because he voted on me? Ridiculous ploy. I tend to find Day 1 a fairly useless phase unless someone makes a big mistake, so I was having a little fun with it. Perhaps it's been confusing, perhaps it's distracting, but I had a few chuckles, so all in all I'm pretty happy with how things are gone.

As a rule, I don't roleclaim. I was the last guy to claim in Transformers, and only revealed stuff about the Gullwings when I had useful info to give. Even then, it was bak that put a name to us. I always said "my team".

If my guy was important, I'd probably feel more inclined to claim. He's got a potentially semi-useful ability, but he's not a game-changer.

Man, it's fun watching someone else twist and turn, spinning those lies. While I do agree with your points, those are not ALL of my arguements.

My main arguements have also brought up your reluctance to claim, hint, or make any serious attempt to reduce your pressure in a helpful manner. Look at what derek did, he dropped a big hint that clued everyone town in.

Look at what I did? I posted a lot of useful info about a person acting scummy.

As for D1 being useless, I heartily disagree. D1 is one of the best days for finding scum. Early voting and posting become game winners end game. If you really think D1 is useless, you're not as l33t as you think you are :D.

If you're guy ISN't important, why are you refusing to claim? Or even hint? You're at 12/20 votes. We have other potential scum but you're making no effort to defend or defuse the situation. Instead you're just trying to drag things out, hoping the bandwagon will lose steam without you having to reveal anything.

But you should know the fact that everyone else is saying I'm making valid points should clue you into the fact that you are wrong. I'm raising perfectly valid points and lynches have been cast on far far less.

So make your false claim so we can lynch the scum right out of you. I'm really hoping for a big one, like Zed or Zorba or something, but I'll settle for a Putty monster.

The gig is up scum, I know who you are!

[Destiny]

No, but I like the publicity.

Fair enough, if these are all still hints then personally they're too vague for me, maybe others will show more understanding.

I was juuust about to post that. I believe it was about this time that I started posting "subtle" hints that nobody got.

Oh well. Self, just make your false claim so we can laugh at the absurdity of it and proceed to lynch your scummy butt.

[Self]

Clearly, PP, you don't. I'm starting to wish you were right though, because it would do wonders for your confidence.

I don't roleclaim because I don't roleclaim. It gives Scum a needless amount of information.

I guess I just personally find Day 1 useless. I'm better at Night powers and reading write-ups that picking up slip-ups in peoples posts. I guess some people find Day 1 a good time to find information. I don't.

If it helps, this sounds like me in Simpsons, South Park and that other game I was scum in... forget the name of it. Point being, I've scummed up like this many times before. A hint at 2 votes woulda sent this a different direction a long time ago... and now you're putting yourself into the position where you HAVE to do a lot more or be eliminated from the game (which we all just lost btw)... that'd suck, cos I like you. But the way you are playing makes it look like you are scum.

I hate sharing info on D1, I've always been one of the most vocal in just voting to no lynch in order to get it over with... but your play is rapidly changing that opinion. :)

[Self]

I think it's just PP's tone that's bringing out the inner rebel in me... and the fact I'm pretty much f***ed beyond belief because I doubt my actual character won't save me. I really should claim and stop wasting time.

Whilst eating my shells and broccoli with garlic (which I just realized is a hyper vague hint... this only applies if you've half-noticed my other hints), I decided I'll let the 019 thing go.

After reading the opening again and knowing that this is taking place in and around Angel Grove, this is probably 90% based on the first 3 seasons or so.

Also, Arrows is co-mod.

We'll figure this out sooner or later...

I am sorry but I don't see Self as a "prime target". I tend to avoid following the "I'm a townie, that guy isn't because I said so!" mindset that seems to take over certain people in this game a lot (MNN, Anti, etc.).

Also, I don't know if feeling little alarm or reason for defense in random and aggressive opposition to essentially nothing is a crime here.

I'll vote on him, but I must say that I don't subscribe to the "He's not acting like he apparently always does!" method of attack because I've been on the other end and know how unreliably hit-or-miss it can be...

Until you get lynched and we see the color of your role, nobodies going to believe you.

Maybe this is a big "wine in front of me" ploy and Destiny is one of his fellow scum, maybe not. We'll cross that bridge when we get here.

Self, you've dug yourself a grave. You've measured yourself for your casket. You've set up your own gallows and are in the middle of tying your hangman's knot.

Call me crazy but I don't see you diverting this bandwagon anytime soon. If you are indeed townie, then there's a good chance we'll catch a scum or two in the people who were quick to pile on your bandwagon.

But we won't. Because you're not town. You're scum. So die already :D

I don't know what that is, but sounds... similar.

[mjdgoldeneye]

Until you get lynched and we see the color of your role, nobodies going to believe you.

Maybe this is a big "wine in front of me" ploy and Destiny is one of his fellow scum, maybe not. We'll cross that bridge when we get here.

Self, you've dug yourself a grave. You've measured yourself for your casket. You've set up your own gallows and are in the middle of tying your hangman's knot.

Call me crazy but I don't see you diverting this bandwagon anytime soon. If you are indeed townie, then there's a good chance we'll catch a scum or two in the people who were quick to pile on your bandwagon.

But we won't. Because you're not town. You're scum. So die already :D

I got his hint. Also, you're incredibly aggressive with no proof. Any logic you may be relying on is being overshadowed by your passion.

You mean the guy who doesn't even get a wiki entry?

http://powerrangers.wikia.com/wiki/Mighty_Morphin_1

Plausible, but I don't buy it. What are your powers, Mr. Principle?

No one has the right to let a Melissa claim pass while questioning an actual tertiary character of substance.

Mr. Kaplan is in a lot of episodes. In fact, when looking up the "Food Fight" episode, he appeared about 2 minutes in!

Also, I believe it is spelled with a K. I googled "Power Rangers Principal" and a few links show the K.

I'm not defending Self, but I see no reason in going any further with him if no one sees any reason to further with 019.

I don't buy it 100% but I forsee an easy experiment. Self targets Zero19 N1. Judging from the write ups it should be very easy to see if either one is telling the truth. And if shenanigans occur, we should still gather enough info to figure something useful out.

I still have my FOS on you for two good reasons. You've "said" color and role when you could have easily just posted the role claim that we are all looking for:

Personally I think the whole Self thing is just prague being a tad bit aggresive while calling out Self's vote change to Astil early on, although Self not being able to spell his character's name right worries me a bit.

[praguepride]

Nope, don't buy it. If you had such an obvious ability you would have hinted earlier that you could prove who you are, and the fact that you pulled a 180 when I offered you a line confirms it for me.

I'm still advocating a lynch on Self unless someone can point me at a better target. Quotes would be most preferable :D

I'll agree with you on that. I have dug myself into a TREMENDOUS hole, and I doubt I'm getting out of it. It's a shame, because even though I'm not overly bothered with this game right now (hence the dicking around) I felt the same way when FF began (albeit without the dicking around) and that turned into my favourite game ever.

Hey Actarus. Quit the white text.

[praguepride]

I think we may have found some very likely scum targets. As soon as one person posted a "I'll buy it"

A WHOLE bunch of people came out of the woodwork to pull their votes off.


And you say D1 is a useless phase. So Self, are you willing to take one for the team?

If you're lynched and are townie then rest assured you'll have generated very valuable knowledge

[Actarus]

I don't copy/paste things from PM's, so why would I type up a fake one?

Dude, to paraphrase 'Banger: Mafia is a team sport.

IF you're town, help us out by pasting your role title. Refusing to do so is completely and utterly selfish at this point.

Anyway, Self, I'll give you two options:

1) Copy & Paste your role claim so we can use the rest of the day to dice it apart and see if it holds up. THEN we'll offer you the Self/019 experiment out.

2) Stay on your high horse, continue d1cking around and hurting the town and die.

Quite Zorba, or whoever that fat chick that looked like Whoopi Goldberg was

:D

And no, I didn't sign that out or do anything to let you know what I said :D

[Self]

Nope, don't buy it. If you had such an obvious ability you would have hinted earlier that you could prove who you are.

No I wouldn't. I don't like revealing what I can do. Ever. I didn't do it in Transformers (did anyone know I was the multi-voter?) I didn't fully do it in FF (I eventually had to confirm that one of my team was a thief, but never said it was me) and I sure didn't want to have to do it on Day 1 of this game. I know you see a lot of people instantly buckle under pressure in these games, but I don't. Even when I'm town I'm going to go as long as I can while revealing as little information as I can, because I think as soon as the scum know what a person can do, they can take you out at any time. It makes you vulnerable.

If I'd revealed my ability after 4-5 votes, sure I may not be in this predicament, but I would have given the Scum a needless amount of info, when for all I knew an actual Scummy dude could have slipped up. Obviously that hasn't happened, and IN HINDSIGHT perhaps I should have claimed earlier, but hindsight's 20/20, bro.

If I'm out of the scholastic closet (and I'm certainly out) then of course I'll follow instructions.

And as lame as I think it is... Mr. Kaplan, Angle Grove Aligned School Principal.

Alright, Self, you get your deal.


The problem with holding out is that you draw more attention to yourself. Scum aren't going to be jumping over eachother to get at you because you're some dinky character. If you were a ranger or a zoid or something, yeah I can see the reluctance.

But you're a jailer. Whoopty doo. Scum would be better of RNG killing and hoping for a protector or cop.

Maybe you'll die because someone really didn't like Kaplan, but I doubt you've made yourself any bigger of a target to scum then you already were.

BUT you have given the rest of the town valuable information too. If you're right and we see you locking people up and acting in a principle tone, then we know you're a stand up guy whom we can trust not to be playing mind games with us.

It's a TEAM game. You need to be giving as much info as you can to the team as a whole so we can pick up your banner where you left off.

So now that Self/Zero19 are taken care of, who's next?

It's not all about character. Strong players are just as valuable to the town as powerful roles. Give Derek a simple roleblocker and he'll round up scum like a rocket-propelled sheepdog... until Scum find out he's a vulnerable roleblocker and gank his ass.

Now I'm not in Derek's league. The only reason I was awesome in FF was because of my OP role, but perhaps the Scum would think otherwise. Other than the fact I'm no longer at the very top of the lynching pile, I see very little good that has come out of my reveal.

That wasn't the claim I was expecting to see from Self and I can't say I remember Kaplan but then there were a lot of minor characters so... bleh. Just as plausible as the deaf girl, I guess.

And as for the deaf girl, again, it's such a minor character but outside of the Rangers, Bulk, Skull, Alpha and Zordon, there weren't too many good guys that appeared more than a couple of times.

Hmm.

I see that the info folks wanted on Self has been duly wrangled. Even if it hadn't been, though, I would have been at least somewhat reluctant to pile on just based on what we had. I'm not poo-pooing PP's observations, mind you, just think they're a bit circumstansial at this point.

Z19's claim is somewhat credible but impossible to truly verify -- convenient, that. I haven't read FF all the way through, but what I've seen of his play in that game leads me to believe he's at least consistent.

If I HAD to choose between them I would lean towards Z19. Fortunately I don't have to choose, 'cause I don't have a good feeling about either.

Without going into detail, is anyone willing to volunteer that they are NOT from the first gen era?

[praguepride]

So my laptop died on my way home from work and I had a lot of time to think. A LOT of issues about Self's claim came up.

1). Isn't Kaplan a minor antagonist? Sending the Power Rangers to detention while the town is being destroyed?

2). If I remember correctly, the villains have a TON of ways to roleblock. They can freeze you or hypnotize you or whatever.

Claiming warden is great for a scum roleblocker. They block their target and of course the target is protected because the scum are controlling the night kills.

3). Self's big defense was how he was a l33t MVP townie in the last game, but he played really really really badly in this game. Derek set up a perfect trap, I helped it along a little but most importantly, Self blundered right in without so much as an apology. Then even though we told him several times that he was hurting town, he continued right until the end to make a claim, and even then we had to drag it out of him tooth and nail.


I agree with derek. If Self is town I'll eat some tape so it'll shut my mouth up.

1). Isn't Kaplan a minor antagonist? Sending the Power Rangers to detention while the town is being destroyed?

That is actually a good point... they often had to get out of school-based situations to go and fight monsters and then try and explain where they'd been without giving away their identity. Hmm.

[praguepride]

Like the MNN experiment before, I suspect that the Self/019 experiment will end in needless chaos.

Let's just lynch Self now and learn what we can from the body.

[praguepride]

You have "green" green? I have "green" green. What Derek posted is "seagreen" green.

I wanted to be the first to say that, but with my luck, I'd have been a slightly different color resulting in my lynch... again...

Yes I have "green" green. I could barely tell the difference between the two so I guess Derek just clicked one of the two colors.


Green. "Green". Regular Green. No sea green. No light green. Just "Green."



I don't know what that is, but sounds... similar.

Basically I shove someone in a room for an entire night phase and don't let them out of my sight. No one gets out. No one gets in. I could potentially be used in a similar way as Jaded was in FF, keeping an eye on someone who might be trouble... but might be useful later.


AH HA! THAT'S HOW HE KNEW THE RIGHT COLOR GREEN!

[Derek B]

AH HA! THAT'S HOW HE KNEW THE RIGHT COLOR GREEN!

I'm enjoying watching you, it's fun. :)

I pretty much agree with what Prague is saying. I'm generally against Day 1 lynches but I honestly think that Self is scum. Lynch him so that we might know how much jeapardy he wanted me to put my socks in, thankyouplease.

REMINDER VOTE: Self

[foolinc]

AH HA! THAT'S HOW HE KNEW THE RIGHT COLOR GREEN!

His role claim shared the same "Angle Grove" typo as me, so I'm going to believe his claim right now.

[mjdgoldeneye]

So my laptop died on my way home from work and I had a lot of time to think. A LOT of issues about Self's claim came up.

1). Isn't Kaplan a minor antagonist? Sending the Power Rangers to detention while the town is being destroyed?

2). If I remember correctly, the villains have a TON of ways to roleblock. They can freeze you or hypnotize you or whatever.

Claiming warden is great for a scum roleblocker. They block their target and of course the target is protected because the scum are controlling the night kills.

3). Self's big defense was how he was a l33t MVP townie in the last game, but he played really really really badly in this game. Derek set up a perfect trap, I helped it along a little but most importantly, Self blundered right in without so much as an apology.

I agree with derek. If Self is town I'll eat some tape so it'll shut my mouth up.

1) Your observation suggests that if he's telling the truth, he's more likely to be scum than town. I can't see him in this role. He's generally a nice guy on the show.

2) That's a possibility, but the possibility isn't really relevant. There's no proof one way or the other!

3) You mention his big defense, but what's your big attack?

I identify with Self because in nearly every game, someone latches onto me and doesn't let go even though I've done nothing wrong other than not compromise my time and game plan on a whim. I'm still wondering if McFly ever actually investigated me in the last game...

[mjdgoldeneye]

His role claim shared the same "Angle Grove" typo as me, so I'm going to believe his claim right now.

Wait, you role claimed?

[Self]

Glad I didn't go to sleep now. PP, dude, you magnificently tenacious little bugger, I thought we had a deal! :D

My defense isn't that I was awesome in the last game. That's just a fact I want spread around as much as possible. My only defense really is that if I was scum, I wouldn't play this way. EVERYTHING you've said I've done, I either haven't done, or it's just my playstyle, as evident in the last 2 games.

Except for the wacky voting, that's just me amusing myself during a day phase.

[Self]

Where was the blunder? Seriously. What trap? Maybe I did fall into it, but if you're talking about derek's green hint then I got that as soon as I looked at it. Seriously. Quote where you think it went over my head, and I'll explain what I said to you.

[praguepride]

His role claim shared the same "Angle Grove" typo as me, so I'm going to believe his claim right now.

My role doesn't have a typo in it.

derek? you're the other townie...

[Destiny]

Wait, you role claimed?

I don't think that foolinc roleclaimed, I think that he is referring to a mistake in his own role PM.

[foolinc]

Wait, you role claimed?

No and that's kind of the point.

[Derek B]

His role claim shared the same "Angle Grove" typo as me, so I'm going to believe his claim right now.

Self changed that "typo" in his subsequent re-posting of his role title. Not to mention that it reeked of scum when Self done it in the first place. And I know what reeking of scum is like cos it's often me who is reeking... of scum, that is. Not of anything else. Unlike The Two... and his mother... who just lost the game... inna face... twice. :cool:

And on that note, I'm off to bed. Will catch everyone at some nebulous future date to be decided by my brain...l could be one hundred years from now... could be tomorrow morning. Who could possibly say for sure?

[mjdgoldeneye]

I think we just found some sort of accidental cohesion here...

Self never said that was a mistake in his PM... I assumed he typed it wrong...

[Self]

It might be this one. My first post after Derek's reveal (approx 1 minute after I checked the thread).

You'd like that, wouldn't you. I'll see you later, young man.

Oh and Change Vote : No Lynch... I'll give it a few phases before trying to take out Derek again. He's bound to be seduced to the dark side soon enough.

The first bit is to Astil voting on me. I kinda planned on Detentioning him tonight.

I then changed it to a No Lynch, BECAUSE I GOT DEREK'S HINT AND BELIEVED HIM. The bit after that references something Derek complained about, where he said "for the past x number of games, I've either been scum, or been recruited into scum". I was implying (half-jokingly) that Derek is probably going to be recruited in 3-4 phases, and should be looked at again later.

Where's the confusion here? Is there some other trap I fell into?

[foolinc]

I guess the fact my original role having the same typo in it could be unrelated, but I don't think so.

I never can keep track of day one posts since there are some many of them but did anyone state they were Angel Grove (or Angle Grove) aligned before Self's post?

The first posting was a straight-up Copy&Paste, and the typo is totally not my fault (I didn't even notice until y'all started questioning it)

The second time I actually typed it, as mjd asked, and spelt it correctly, because I'm a good speler.

If the mistake was not from his PM then it does seem very scummy, as you would usually just copy and paste your role title.

Derek. Pretty early on too.

[foolinc]

Derek. Pretty early on too.

Thanks.

[Destiny]

Derek. Pretty early on too.

I believe derek was the first person to state it, and you're right, it was very early on.

[Self]

Could have sworn I saw PP typing a few minutes ago. What happened, bro? Realise the whole basis for your argument is bull? Realise you're sorely lacking in the leg-to-stand-on department?

[Self]

P.S. I'm WAY over my bedtime, so if you're gonna try to bum rush a lynch on me, do it soon. Or... you know... take the coward's way and try it while I'm sleeping.

[Wallbanger]

/raises eyebrow

Really, was that necessary?

[Destiny]

/raises eyebrow

Really, was that necessary?

I've thought that regarding Self's tactics a few times this phase. However, he has explained it's due to over-confidence after Final Fantasy.

[Self]

Seriously. Anyone else think it's weird how we made a deal earlier, then less than an hour after I announced I was going to bed he starts pushing to lynch me again? THEN I show up (snack time, yo) and he mysteriously vanishes?

He's got nothing but enthusiasm, folks. All talk, no game.


To Wallbanger: Considering how aggressive and "100% sure" and "fake claim so we can laugh at you" he's been, I'm thinking yes. Necessary. I respect him for trying to route out scum, but his proof was flawed, and he's refused to accept that. He's been ultra-agressive with me, so right back at ya, dude.

P.S. After I get lynched (it'll happen eventually) I HAVE to take time away from the net. I'm becoming a jerk.

[Self]

NOW I'm going to bed. For reals this time.

[Actarus]

Sigh...

Though I'm skeptical about both claims made by Z9T & Self, at this point until there's evidence as to how the game is set up, their claims, while sounding improbable, are not beyond the realm of possibility.

To mjd: You seem to be the Power Rangers expert at the moment, so any thoughts on the opening write-up? Who are SK can be, presuming it was an SK that took out the Scorpion girl?

My memory is a little fuzzy, but wasn't the green ranger originally evil, then became good?

All I meant was this seemed like a baiting "bring-it-on" kind of thing. There's a reason I'm not jumping on this bandwagon and I think enough others are content to gather some more info at this point before going off on what at best is a calculated risk.

(Then again, this might be your intent from the get-go, if you think PP is scum and overplaying his hand. I've played that card before and it's been known to work.)

It would certainly be very brave of PraguePride to be this aggressive if he is scum himself.

[Wallbanger]

Even evil Green Ranger would not attack Scorpina. Scorpina is a close ally of Rita and Green Ranger was under Rita's control.

If we are limited to MM era, it is more likely Zedd or Master Vile.

[lprock]

NOW I'm going to bed. For reals this time.

Anyone who says 'reals' is obviously not town.

Lynch please.

[Destiny]

After doing a little bit of research it certainly seems that those two would fir the bill, especially Master Vile.

[Wallbanger]

Argh but I despise Day 1.

I swear when I get my next game figured out it will be a night start.

I've been wondering who that is in the opening. Scorpina is shocked to see who is is and says "But I just...".

This made me think it was some sort of seemingly-downed Ranger at first, but I am completely sure it isn't the Green Ranger. Aside from various details (like the fact that the Green Ranger wouldn't have anything to do with the Megazord), I have a strong idea that it wasn't the Green Ranger.

Ultimately, I think it may be Goldar. She'd be surprised to see him standing behind her, weapon drawn. Also, she may have said "But I just..." because he had no reason to be there, having just won.

[Actarus]

You think that the Green Ranger could be our SK? Was he evil enough that he killed?

I don't know. That's why I'm asking. Also, I've been watching the wrong source material, the Japanese version of Power Rangers (which is actually unintentionally hilarious). In that version, Green Ranger eventually dies...

Even evil Green Ranger would not attack Scorpina. Scorpina is a close ally of Rita and Green Ranger was under Rita's control.

If we are limited to MM era, it is more likely Zedd or Master Vile.

Hmmm...Zedd...hmmm...

Master Vile? I'm going to have to youtube him

[mjdgoldeneye]

Also, Goldar had a sword. That'd be key.

[cappyboy]

You think that the Green Ranger could be our SK? Was he evil enough that he killed?

Problem with that theory. At least if we're sticking with show continuity. The Green ranger was Tommy. To my knowledge, the only character have been on all three sides of the Rangers. Started off on the evil side. Then converted to good. And finally in one of the most recent seasons (and last one I watched) on Zordon's side mentoring the new crop of Rangers.

Unless this is rooted very early in the Power Ranger story arc, I would expect Tommy to be fully Angel Grove and have some sort of cavalry role. Seeing as that was the function he tended to serve once he was redeemed. He and his zord tended to provide the extra punch the other rangers needed when their efforts and zords alone weren't enough.

[GruntMark]

For what its worth...

I believe Melissa is a viable character (in that, I can see her included in the game)...though Im not really sure what she would do. If its nothing or counters one specific random monster from Rita/Zed's arsenal of many random monsters...then...I say we lynch her, on the basis that its probably a lie and if not...she probably isnt going to be that helpful anyway.

That's true, what with the posting restriction. However, after a rod was included, and the fact that Arrows needed to find alot of town characters, makes me believe him a little.
