/something would've happened by now
/missing something regarding yours (and mjd's) thought process
That's my point.
Something WOULD have happened by now if you actually had a post restriction.
I wrote in the post you were responding to that I think you're faking a post restriction in order to make your fake role claim seem legit.
If you're "missing" something about that, then you're missing it on purpose.

If your theory is correct then I'd give him top marks for creativity. Ultimately I think one or the other current options is likely to be scum, perhaps both.

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.
This sounds about right... Kinda... :)
Hmmm...Zedd...hmmm...
Master Vile? I'm going to have to youtube him
Zedd could work too, but he isn't known for fighting.
mjdgoldeneye
06-03-2009, 07:53 PM
Waaaaaait...
What about Ivan Ooze? He isn't very weapon reliant either, but he's not really aligned with Zedd or Rita.
cappyboy
06-03-2009, 07:53 PM
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.
Now this is a theory I find very interesting. If memory serves, Goldar did end up going rogue on Rita's crew and I don't recall him ever having been friendly to the Rangers or Angel Grove even after his fall from Rita's grace. Again depending where we are in the arc, Goldar could be a very interesting character to find.

I told you. I ended up with an hour and half train ride with nothing to do but think about this game. My laptop died on me so all I did was think about what was said over and over again.
As I keep pointing out
1) derek gave a BIG clue about town that Astil and I both made very obvious that we got. You, however, did not. But seeing Astil change his vote made you quick to get off one bandwagon and then try and start a couple more.
You voted 5 times which is rather scummy. You were throwing your votes around in such a way that you could either pass them off as being serious if they stuck OR just say "lol, just kidding".
Wiggle room is the haven for scum.
2) Even though your character and ability are not that vital to the town, you refused to actually start defending yourself until you were almost 3/4 of the way to the gallows.
3) It took you 3 posts to finally make your claim. Not to mention as pointed out the scummy post where you said "Hey, I guess I better claim. BRB"
4) The typo. I didn't have it. Judging by derek's post, he didn't have it either.
5) General ****iness. You still haven't done anything to try and actually help the town, just try to undermine my arguements without actually giving us something else to work with.
6) You were really twisting and turning about how much I was pissing you off, but as SOON as I mentioned a deal, you jumped all over it.
7) Your posting attitude has not been one of a team player, it's been of a selfish person. You posted how you didn't care if you wasted a day phase because you weren't going to role claim.
8) All in all, you've aligned almost 100% with the way I attempted to defend myself in FF and I was totally scum. I mean, almost phase for phase.
First comes the ignorance (ignoring several of my "I'm FOSing you" posts.) then comes the hyper-defense (I'm not scum, YOU"RE SCUM!) then comes the "high road" defense (I'm not going to reveal any info because I don't think I need to) and finally FINALLY the crappy role claim (Fine, you got me. I'm really just a trivial, minor character who's inclusion in the game isn't guarenteed).
At least my scum claim was done for a purpose (to draw out Rinoa) but yours was an interesting attempt to fly under the radar.
Now, mjd brought up the point "wait, if crappy principal is in the game, why is deaf girl?"
But look at the stark differences between the two. Zero19 made several attempts to drop hints, first subtle and then even overt without that much pressure on him. He tried to help out town by identifying him as a safe AND he's been trying to help with the Self lynch by actually pointing out useful info (like the typo) instead of posting complete and utter garbage like Self has.
I'll say it loud, I'll say it proud
Self is scum!

Goldar started off awesome but then became Rita's bitch, and then sided with Zedd when he showed up, as I recall.
Always got his ass beat by Jason as well. He'll definitely be in and evil but I'd not be surprised if part of his win condition was to kill off Rita too.

It sounds like Goldar might be our best bet then, if we assume the other villians are all grouped together?
Actarus
06-03-2009, 08:05 PM
Does this sound like Goldar to you though?
"Interesting."
She jerked around. Tired from her battle with the Megazord, she wasn't ready to deal with more. She drew her weapon, shock on her face as she noticed what she was staring at. "But I just..."
"And now, I'm going to destroy you."
Her attacker charged forward, weapon out and ready to strike. Dodging the blow from her weapon, the attacker came to a stop behind her. She fell to the ground, unable to dodge the attack herself.
"I thought you'd be a challenge." Disgusted at the ease of her defeat, the attacker simply walked away.

"Ahem. With Angel Grove under attack, I'm very glad so many of you could tune in out there tonight. We will try and make these broadcasts short and sweet. We have a special guest with us tonight, that, quite honestly was randomly picked out of the crowd after our regular guests cancelled due to aliens, and we're going to have a bit of fun with this tonight.
Getting right down to business...
In light of current events, who do you feel is the greatest threat to Angel Grove?"
The guest, not taking long at all to sit and think about this responds, "Self...duh. Plus, principals suck ass for teenagers."
"I don't think you can say a... ah, nevermind. Second question. If you could tell the viewers one thing about yourself, what would it be?"
A confident smile on the guest's face. "I look great in a muscle shirt."
"Ah..huh. Finally, the most pressing question on everyone's mind: Who would win in a fight, cavemen or astronauts?"
"Cavemen. Astronauts may be trained in hand to hand combat but cavemn have clubs."
"Any final words for our fans?"
"Self can't be a warden because I know who the real wardens are."

Slim Jim
06-03-2009, 08:12 PM
The dialogue fits him but Goldar/Scorpina were sort of a double act, so I doubt he'd kill her.
If I had to pick someone, I'd say Zedd, even though he never really did too much fighting first hand.
Something to note, the gender of the attacker is left out of that.

My thoughts exactly.
And think about it. MNN has hinted at being either Bulk or Skull to such an extent that either he's legit, or the real one's don't have the courage to out him.
And this "interviewer" thing... seems day powerish to me. If I was some kinda person who got information revealed to people by targetting them during the day for interviews... well, I'd start with the person who has hinted at a character who is for sure in this game and for sure town. That being MNN, of course.

I'm going to hold off my vote right now since I want to hear what Self has to say (and because there is still a good deal of time left in the day). The fact I had a role typo in my PM makes me think he's telling the truth but it's a simple typo that he could have made himself trying to fake claim and that radio post is pretty damning.
Slim Jim
06-03-2009, 09:11 PM
I think he said he typed out his role title, rather than copying it from his PM, and the second time he did it, there was no typo so... hmm, not really sure too much should be made of that.

Comradebot
06-03-2009, 09:53 PM
And to answer the question I'm sure was asked to what appears to be Bulk...
Astronauts beat Cavemen.
Exhibit A: Kirk vs. the Gorn in Star Trek. Kirk didn't have the physical abilities to face the Gorn and his giant boulder one on one... but he did have the intelligence to recognize and put together the materials needed to create a primitive cannon.
I figure Astronauts would have a similiar advantage against cavemen. Not to mention one could whip out a flashlight and make them think he's god... assuming either side got to bring anything, that is.
Astil

Just so people know, I was unsure on this until the radio program.
If anyone knows who the Principle is, it's the bullies, no?
GruntMark
06-03-2009, 09:58 PM
Yeah.
We need to hear from MNN before we push this much further. We need to consider the possibility that this is a false Bulk trying to trick us into a mislynch.
I think its....odd...that given the chance to speak without his name attached he'd make it kinda obvious who he was suppose to be and what his (their?) (joint) power is.

I was concerned about that. Self has made himself an easy target. Some of that is his own fault, and he's going to be a massive distraction moving forward.
However I still think I rather not walk into a mislynch. Especially now that I feel like I might be being baited into it.

/has work in 6 hours.
Night Yo.
1) derek gave a BIG clue about town that Astil and I both made very obvious that we got. You, however, did not. But seeing Astil change his vote made you quick to get off one bandwagon and then try and start a couple more.
This is your opinion. It is wrong. I understood it straight away (as soon as I saw his post anyway, I do have other things to do with a full-time job and all, so I'm not able to check every second of every day) and I thought taking my vote off made proved that I believed him, as good as a /nod. Your entire basis for this appears to be "but me and Astil said it first" which is flimsy.
You voted 5 times which is rather scummy. You were throwing your votes around in such a way that you could either pass them off as being serious if they stuck OR just say "lol, just kidding".
I was just playing around, throwing votes on whoever put them on me. I'd be STUNNED if anyone took them seriously, because no one was supposed to. The mafia equivalent of "Dude, you like Hairspray? That's pretty gay." "YOU'RE GAY!!!". It amused me at the time.
2) Even though your character and ability are not that vital to the town, you refused to actually start defending yourself until you were almost 3/4 of the way to the gallows.
Playstyle. The reason for which I've explained. I never throw about information unless I have to. I didn't do it as Ironhide. I held back as much as I could with Rikku. I just don't do it. I've had heat on me before, and the best strategy, for me, is usually just to ignore it, make a few jokes, and let something else come up. It hasn't this time, but that's hindsight. I don't reveal information after just a few votes.
3) It took you 3 posts to finally make your claim. Not to mention as pointed out the scummy post where you said "Hey, I guess I better claim. BRB"
No one else found the Cup of Tea thing funny? I practically wet myself. Mainly because I already had a cup of tea...
4) The typo. I didn't have it. Judging by derek's post, he didn't have it either.
Unfortunate, but foolinc had it, so there you go.
5) General ****iness. You still haven't done anything to try and actually help the town, just try to undermine my arguements without actually giving us something else to work with.
If I had any relevant information, I'd be more than happy to share. Results from Night actions, viewpoints on write-ups. THAT's how I can help the town. Bending over and revealing myself to everyone isn't helpful. This is what I believe. I work better when I don't have everyone knowing who I am.
6) You were really twisting and turning about how much I was pissing you off, but as SOON as I mentioned a deal, you jumped all over it.
Well... Yeah. Dude, you're the only one REALLY out to get me (well... Derek to a lesser extent) so if you're offering to get off my back, I'm cool with that.
7) Your posting attitude has not been one of a team player, it's been of a selfish person. You posted how you didn't care if you wasted a day phase because you weren't going to role claim.
You had no hard evidence to prove I was scum. Your argument was ridiculously flimsy, and if it wasn't for the amount of votes you (somehow) managed to get on me, I'd have gone on laughing at you and your "evidence". I don't like Day 1 lynches. I don't care if I totally wasted Day 1.
8) All in all, you've aligned almost 100% with the way I attempted to defend myself in FF and I was totally scum. I mean, almost phase for phase.
I am not you.
First comes the ignorance (ignoring several of my "I'm FOSing you" posts.) then comes the hyper-defense (I'm not scum, YOU"RE SCUM!) then comes the "high road" defense (I'm not going to reveal any info because I don't think I need to) and finally FINALLY the crappy role claim (Fine, you got me. I'm really just a trivial, minor character who's inclusion in the game isn't guarenteed).
At least my scum claim was done for a purpose (to draw out Rinoa) but yours was an interesting attempt to fly under the radar.
Um... It wasn't an attempt to fly under the radar. Not even slightly.
And nobody found "YOU'RE SCUM!" funny? Man, nobody gets me anymore.
Now, mjd brought up the point "wait, if crappy principal is in the game, why is deaf girl?"
But look at the stark differences between the two. Zero19 made several attempts to drop hints, first subtle and then even overt without that much pressure on him. He tried to help out town by identifying him as a safe AND he's been trying to help with the Self lynch by actually pointing out useful info (like the typo) instead of posting complete and utter garbage like Self has.
Me and Zero9Teen are different players. Some players like to drop clues about who they are, to make the town trust them. I however, don't. I examine write-ups, swap theories, work my Night ability, and generally DON'T give information on my role. I just... I just don't do it. I go as long as I can, while giving away as little information about myself as I can. It's practically my mafia motto.
I'll say it loud, I'll say it proud
Self is scum!
Aww.
/ruffles hair
Also, what the Hell was that radio thing? If that's someone's power, then they've done an AMAZINGLY poor job of giving it credibility, which you'll find out soon enough.
All in all, sod it. Lynch me. I don't care any more. No offense to the mods, I like the theme, I like the character, but I have no interest in playing under constant scrutiny. My entire playstyle has been ruined by PP's rantings, so sod it. I'm... "Gallstones" that villain who was in that thing that time. I'm done, Gus.
One last thing before I head off to work and am without internet for a while...
My one regret, the one thing I would say was a mistake, was that I should have revealed myself around vote 8. Instead, because I didn't like PP's tone or respect his argument, I held off longer than I should. That was bad form.
Everything else I feel justified in doing, either because it's my playstyle, or because I got a great deal of amusement out of it.

You seem to assume that your lynching is a done deal, way i read it, people are suggesting you've been set up.
Frankly I don't know anything about Bulk, Gallstones, Power Rangers etc. If someone could explain what it means in game terms I'd change my vote (or leave it where it is) based upon how all this stuff relates to the show.

"Ahem. With Angel Grove under attack, I'm very glad so many of you could tune in out there tonight. We will try and make these broadcasts short and sweet. We have a special guest with us tonight, that, quite honestly was randomly picked out of the crowd after our regular guests cancelled due to aliens, and we're going to have a bit of fun with this tonight.
Getting right down to business...
In light of current events, who do you feel is the greatest threat to Angel Grove?"
The guest, not taking long at all to sit and think about this responds, "Self...duh. Plus, principals suck ass for teenagers."
"I don't think you can say a... ah, nevermind. Second question. If you could tell the viewers one thing about yourself, what would it be?"
A confident smile on the guest's face. "I look great in a muscle shirt."
"Ah..huh. Finally, the most pressing question on everyone's mind: Who would win in a fight, cavemen or astronauts?"
"Cavemen. Astronauts may be trained in hand to hand combat but cavemn have clubs."
"Any final words for our fans?"
"Self can't be a warden because I know who the real wardens are."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Guys, I've been at work since 6.
I can say with 100% certainty that the radio broadcast has nothing to do with myself and/or my colleague. At least to our knowledge.
Since it doesn't have anything to do with us, I sort of getting the feeling Self is being set up.
Alright, I told myself I wasn't going to do this, but Self's attitude is really bringing out the worst in me and I really want a D1 scum lynch.

Interesting. Are those your responses verbatim? Did you respond in character or were they made to sound like your character, in your opinion?
Either way, you've laid a lot on the table. 4 wardens is certainly too many, but I'd wonder why there are even 3 in a group with you. That sounds weird too...
At this point I would probably vote for a lynch on Self because I can't fathom why anyone would push so hard for a day 1 lynch without an excellent reason. But this all seems unusual.

Bah. Couldn't pick up a manual labor shift, so I'm stuck indoors. Bad news? I only earn minimum wage for this. Good news? Internet. Bad news again? Sucks for my tan.
What is a Warden? Someone asked me if I was one, and I said probably, because it sounds about right. I don't know the official rules on what a Warden's ability is, but if I was to guess, it would be my ability.
Whoever I pick in the Night Phase is thrown into Detention. That means they're roleblocked, and no one else can target them during that Night.
Is that a Warden? I did a quick search of the mafiascum wiki and nothing came up for it.
Alright, I told myself I wasn't going to do this, but Self's attitude is really bringing out the worst in me and I really want a D1 scum lynch.
Similarly, your attitude is bringing out the worst in me. It's like the Astil/Derek situation in the last game. Our styles naturally clash. Sparks fly, and things get distracting.
For the record, I'm pretty sure you're Town. I know if I get lynched there's gonna be some heat on you, but at the moment, now that I've calmed down some, I simply think you've gotten over-excited after jumping on some admittedly questionable statements I made.

It sounds like it matches your claimed character. I'm on the fence about the inclusion of your role, though... Almost leaning towards in, but praguepride has made a bold argument disclosing a lot of information that would make that nearly impossible, certainly illogical.
I'd probably want to hear more from him than you at this point, as I don't really see what you could say to make me believe you more.

True. I can't really defend myself any more than I have. I've answered everything he's thrown at me.
What I find interesting about the radio show is that it practically says I'm the principal. If PP supplied these answers, does that mean he believes me, in my character at least?

That is a good point; from his comments so far I would mark it down as a side effect of his tunnel vision on you but knowing Arrows it could be Bulk and Skull's win condition to get the principal lynched.

Not posting in character relieves me a bit. In my opinion you should reveal more and try to seal this lynch. I think you've wrapped up most vocal and if you reveal enough to be considered solid you'd probably be in that echelon where you either get protection or are simply too high profile for a scum to risk sending someone to you. Then again, IMO you're kinda already there and it's ultimately up to you.

Fair enough. I was trying to keep a few more cards closer, but people have been very reluctant for a D1 lynch.
Occam's razor, if he seems scummy, acts scummy, and his role doesn't stack up, he's probably scum.
Remember my earlier point about how the principal could easily be considered an antagonist for teenagers? That was meant to help drive that point home.
I can buy that. When I got the role and saw the colour I initially thought "Am I Cult?" because a School Principal in a show about Teenagers is traditionally an evil/misguided authoritarian role. I was just curious as to whether you thought I was 100% lying, or was just lying about my affiliation.
Do I believe your claim? Honestly, I don't care. I don't believe there are 4 wardens in the game because I agree, 3 seems high already. I don't know or care who or what you are, because I know now that you are scum!
This is what bothers me about you. You speak in such absolutes. It would be okay if you built up to it, after questioning me and hearing some responses, but practically your first post pointing a finger at me was "Self is Scum!" "100%" "I know he's scum!" "Guaranteed!". Honestly, that's a big part of the reason why I've been a jerk. I hate your attitude. You can never be sure of ANYTHING in these games. The way you're acting makes me want to get lynched just so you can see how wrong you are.
4 Wardens DOES seem remarkably high. No argument there. I'm curious about the role, and the types of characters who would fill it. Maybe some of the villains with jail cells. Maybe Zordon. Maybe something with a wacky freeze/teleport ray.
The way I define Warden, I'd be shocked it there were 2 in the game. Combination Roleblocker/Protector? That's good stuff.

I'm all for the D1 lynch in theory, and usually in practice as well. But Self's role only doesn't stack up if what you're saying holds weight. I think he's been acting somewhat scummy myself, but I want just a little bit more before I pull the trigger on my vote. I think Self is a good player and could potentially be an asset, if he wasn't scum.,,
I'm really on the fence here, I may end up voting for Self eventually regardless if it comes to that or a No-Lynch that provides no insight.

Congratulations, I didn't realise you had such a good record on paper. I doubt we're going to be able to reach this lynch today.
Thanks, and I do think it'll be close. Depends on how the people who wake up within the next few hours view praguepride's case.

Loads and loads of info coming in here. After everything my position hasn't really changed. Still not comfortable voting for Self, still not completely comfortable he's town.
I agree PP has been ultra ultra aggressive. Which had me concerned it being day 1. The Warden info is obviously what fuelled that though and I cant see him going out this hard if anything but town.
I still think we have time to look at 019, if people are baying for blood.

I can buy that. When I got the role and saw the colour I initially thought "Am I Cult?" because a School Principal in a show about Teenagers is traditionally an evil/misguided authoritarian role. I was just curious as to whether you thought I was 100% lying, or was just lying about my affiliation.
Eh, there was a bit of a build up. I called you out on your voting...no response. I FOS'd you. No response. I started pointing out your scummy posts, and then you just laughed me off like I was no threat.
Yeah, there was build up. This was a situation you could have defused a long time ago if you weren't so busy saying that you were too good to respond to my serious accusations.
This is what bothers me about you. You speak in such absolutes. It would be okay if you built up to it, after questioning me and hearing some responses, but practically your first post pointing a finger at me was "Self is Scum!" "100%" "I know he's scum!" "Guaranteed!". Honestly, that's a big part of the reason why I've been a jerk. I hate your attitude. You can never be sure of ANYTHING in these games. The way you're acting makes me want to get lynched just so you can see how wrong you are.
That is such a classic scum response. The key that separates a townie from scum is their team player-ness. A townie can still win if he's dead, especially early in the game. You have never at all seemed to care about the town as a whole, just talking about how you played poorly because you didn't like my attitude, or you don't think it's worth your time, and now you hope you get lynched just to prove me wrong?
Where's the team spirit, self? Or is it reserved for a different team?
4 Wardens DOES seem remarkably high. No argument there. I'm curious about the role, and the types of characters who would fill it. Maybe some of the villains with jail cells. Maybe Zordon. Maybe something with a wacky freeze/teleport ray.
You're not getting ANY info out of me scum. Quite fishing for info.
The way I define Warden, I'd be shocked it there were 2 in the game. Combination Roleblocker/Protector? That's good stuff.
Yeah. That's why I was trying to not implicate myself. But like I said, I'm willing to go 1:1 with scum any day of the week. I may be a b- or c- string character, but I can still be a hero :D

We've already gotten almost a full claim out of 019. I don't know what more we can look at.
If I didn't have that warden info, I would have given Self the slide. In fact, I did. But then I realized what I had and so went back on the offensive.
I'm being hyper aggressive because I really want that D1 lynch, and with how it's proceeded so far, Self is more dangerous alive then dead. If he's alive, he's either scum OR if he's just a townie who really did screw things up then he's going to be distracting valuable townie resources from more important tasks.
At this point we NEED to lynch him no matter who he is so we can get our hands on some really valuable info. Voting patterns, discussion topics because if he ISN'T scum them the scum have known it all along, and boy will it show.
If he IS scum then again, they've known all along and it'll show as well.
Anyone else think it's REALLY coincidental that PP, the guy hell-bent on taking me out, happens to know of 3 other Wardens (my role) on DAY 1! How can anyone has that much information so soon. Sure, he could be in a team, but in a Team with 3 other Wardens?

That's the part that gets me... a TEAM of three wardens?
I almost want to ask another one of them to step up... almost.
I would find it hard to believe there's four wardens in one game. Maybe there is. Maybe Self is lying. Maybe PP is scum and is going to basically sacrifice himself in order to get a single mislynch (which would help us avoid if we had a second name).
Whatever the case is... I'm hungry. And blast, like another two hours until Wendy's opens, and I really don't want breakfast food. Jack n' Box, maybe?
Or I could find something to cook around here....
HAHAHAHHAHAHA, kidding, of course. Me? Cook? Unless you count throwing something in a microwave, there's very few things I can actually cook and none of them are either filling, balanced, or healthy.

That's why I said baying for blood. We know who he claims, what he can do (if telling the truth). Not missing much if that role goes and there's a good chance he's lying. Good choice if you feel we absolutely need to lynch.
Self, on the other hand has a decent role, is a good player and can be useful down the line. It troubles me slightly that your the guy leading the lynch and also the guy giving clues on the radio. I get, you really, really want the lynch and believe Self is scum. But what if he isn't?
Not much in your original argument made me think Self was scum. Now his defence was scummy as hell, and the more I read the more i bought into it. Now we have info coming from both sides, the most damning being the amount of wardens.
I guess what I'm saying is i don't really have a feel for either side and think we will get info come the writeup. If we see the principle handing our detentions then we have an answer. If we don't we have a direction.
I'm also mindful that Self threw out a hint to his role, quite obscure and i didn't pick it at all, but if your role PM has something like kill the principle, you may have picked up on it.

I told you. I ended up with an hour and half train ride with nothing to do but think about this game. My laptop died on me so all I did was think about what was said over and over again.
As I keep pointing out
1) derek gave a BIG clue about town that Astil and I both made very obvious that we got. You, however, did not. But seeing Astil change his vote made you quick to get off one bandwagon and then try and start a couple more.
You voted 5 times which is rather scummy. You were throwing your votes around in such a way that you could either pass them off as being serious if they stuck OR just say "lol, just kidding".
Wiggle room is the haven for scum.
2) Even though your character and ability are not that vital to the town, you refused to actually start defending yourself until you were almost 3/4 of the way to the gallows.
3) It took you 3 posts to finally make your claim. Not to mention as pointed out the scummy post where you said "Hey, I guess I better claim. BRB"
4) The typo. I didn't have it. Judging by derek's post, he didn't have it either.
5) General ****iness. You still haven't done anything to try and actually help the town, just try to undermine my arguements without actually giving us something else to work with.
6) You were really twisting and turning about how much I was pissing you off, but as SOON as I mentioned a deal, you jumped all over it.
7) Your posting attitude has not been one of a team player, it's been of a selfish person. You posted how you didn't care if you wasted a day phase because you weren't going to role claim.
8) All in all, you've aligned almost 100% with the way I attempted to defend myself in FF and I was totally scum. I mean, almost phase for phase.
First comes the ignorance (ignoring several of my "I'm FOSing you" posts.) then comes the hyper-defense (I'm not scum, YOU"RE SCUM!) then comes the "high road" defense (I'm not going to reveal any info because I don't think I need to) and finally FINALLY the crappy role claim (Fine, you got me. I'm really just a trivial, minor character who's inclusion in the game isn't guarenteed).
At least my scum claim was done for a purpose (to draw out Rinoa) but yours was an interesting attempt to fly under the radar.
Now, mjd brought up the point "wait, if crappy principal is in the game, why is deaf girl?"
But look at the stark differences between the two. Zero19 made several attempts to drop hints, first subtle and then even overt without that much pressure on him. He tried to help out town by identifying him as a safe AND he's been trying to help with the Self lynch by actually pointing out useful info (like the typo) instead of posting complete and utter garbage like Self has.
I'll say it loud, I'll say it proud
Self is scum!
*...*
Change Vote: Self
Ooh, ooh, I want a catchphrase! Something short, sweet, and strikes fear into the hearts of 10's ... maybe dozens of people!
Something like ... " ... "
Blast! Damn you small mind!
I'll help in the CHiaC bonfire match, Astil ... I'll sit front row, with popcorn, and cheer. I'd get closer, but I'm a pansy, and fire hurts. :p
*...*
/my catchphrase
This is your opinion. It is wrong. I understood it straight away (as soon as I saw his post anyway, I do have other things to do with a full-time job and all, so I'm not able to check every second of every day) and I thought taking my vote off made proved that I believed him, as good as a /nod. Your entire basis for this appears to be "but me and Astil said it first" which is flimsy.
I was just playing around, throwing votes on whoever put them on me. I'd be STUNNED if anyone took them seriously, because no one was supposed to. The mafia equivalent of "Dude, you like Hairspray? That's pretty gay." "YOU'RE GAY!!!". It amused me at the time.
Playstyle. The reason for which I've explained. I never throw about information unless I have to. I didn't do it as Ironhide. I held back as much as I could with Rikku. I just don't do it. I've had heat on me before, and the best strategy, for me, is usually just to ignore it, make a few jokes, and let something else come up. It hasn't this time, but that's hindsight. I don't reveal information after just a few votes.
No one else found the Cup of Tea thing funny? I practically wet myself. Mainly because I already had a cup of tea...
Unfortunate, but foolinc had it, so there you go.
If I had any relevant information, I'd be more than happy to share. Results from Night actions, viewpoints on write-ups. THAT's how I can help the town. Bending over and revealing myself to everyone isn't helpful. This is what I believe. I work better when I don't have everyone knowing who I am.
Well... Yeah. Dude, you're the only one REALLY out to get me (well... Derek to a lesser extent) so if you're offering to get off my back, I'm cool with that.
You had no hard evidence to prove I was scum. Your argument was ridiculously flimsy, and if it wasn't for the amount of votes you (somehow) managed to get on me, I'd have gone on laughing at you and your "evidence". I don't like Day 1 lynches. I don't care if I totally wasted Day 1.
I am not you.
Um... It wasn't an attempt to fly under the radar. Not even slightly.
And nobody found "YOU'RE SCUM!" funny? Man, nobody gets me anymore.
Me and Zero9Teen are different players. Some players like to drop clues about who they are, to make the town trust them. I however, don't. I examine write-ups, swap theories, work my Night ability, and generally DON'T give information on my role. I just... I just don't do it. I go as long as I can, while giving away as little information about myself as I can. It's practically my mafia motto.
Aww.
/ruffles hair
Also, what the Hell was that radio thing? If that's someone's power, then they've done an AMAZINGLY poor job of giving it credibility, which you'll find out soon enough.
All in all, sod it. Lynch me. I don't care any more. No offense to the mods, I like the theme, I like the character, but I have no interest in playing under constant scrutiny. My entire playstyle has been ruined by PP's rantings, so sod it. I'm... "Gallstones" that villain who was in that thing that time. I'm done, Gus.
*points to this in state of confusion*

No, seriously.
Taco Cabana is a disgrace to the delicious genre of food known as Tex-Mex. It's like Mexican food, except with flavor. Not counting tamales... if you want good tamales, you find a woman legitimately from Mexico. In high school I did film work for the football team (after I was forced into early retirement), and the guy I worked with was a rather plump Mexican guy... his mom would send him a giant cooler full of fresh tamales every game day, and I soon discovered why he was so portly in nature. Otherwise, I've found legitimate Mexican food... bland in flavor. Gotta have Tex-Mex. Not Cal-Mex, that west coast bastardization with all the friggin' oranges, but legit Tex-Mex.
But sorry you went to Taco Cabana. You can get far better Tex-Mex from Casa Ole or Iguana Joe's typically, though dependent on the location of said restraunt. But Taco Cabana? They might as well be serving plates of cold garbage, always. Had I known your plan, I would've warned you to stay away. Don't let its horribleness lead you to believe that food down here sucks, because it doesn't.

Would it kill PP to give us the name of one of the characters? I really want to rationalize this group. It couldn't be the Rangers themselves, surely?
The issue I see with this is that I've already outed myself basically. Warden's are decent targets for scum, and clueing them into the large amount of warden's is plenty of info to give to scum D1.
I will not bring down any other players with me, I will not out players who's information I have acertained.
I will say that I am 100% correct about there being 3 wardens, or a better way to put it would be 3 players with warden like abilities in this game already. That I know.
3 wardens IS a huge amount, which is why when I found out there were 3 townie wardens and on top of that Self, a player who (as many besides myself have pointed out) has acted scummy as hell, comes out and claims a questionable character with a warden ability, that's when I resumed my bloodlust.
Now I can understand people dragging their feet, but really, come on now.
You have a "scummy as hell" character who made a role claim that isn't JUST being counter-claimed, but is being counter-claimed by a crap ton of unlikelyhoods. 4 town wardens is even more overkill then 3. I KNOW of 3 townie wardens. And for those of you who doubt me, just wait for the N1 write ups because unless Arrows only posts deaths or something, there will be a scene that will occur that will make it all make sense.
Now, even IF (and this is a very unlikely if) Self really is Kaplan and IF he really is a townie warden... I hate to say it but no real biggie. We've got 3 more townie wardens to help us out.
So let's do a review timeline, shall we?
1) Self makes a questionable post
2) I call Self out on it, he ignores me.
3) I continue calling Self out and other people start to take notice. Self for about 10 votes refuses to give any info, refuses to even acknowledge that I have credible arguement, and refuses to even care that we're wasting precious D1 time.
4) Finally, at over 1/2 lynch, Self flat out says. "I don't role claim"
5) At 3/4 lynch, he does a complete 180, spilling his guts and making a full claim, ability and everything
6) I offer Self a deal which he accepts 100%. No concerns about shenanigans or anything.
PP's oppinion: Basically his posts at this time were very different from earlier. He was apologetic for playing so poorly.
7) I find out that there are 3 other townie wardens in the game.
8) I counter claim, first using a bit of subterfuge using some one else's ability to give radio interviews. When that fails to get the bandwagon I flat out admitted. I had knowledge of other townie wardens.
So.... are people that concerned about a mislynch that they'll ignore some very basic facts?
1) Self has continually acted scummy as hell
2) He made a claim, it was counter claimed.
I mean, this is D1, how much more do you need to lynch someone? We've gotten more info then a vast majority of lynches have occured in the past. Lynchs just because someone is MIA and hasn't posted.
But right now we have a scummy player who's claim has been countered.

I'm not sure of the credibility of this statement but Gallstones are terrible things.
I'll admit I've acted suspect, but "I know there are 3 other wardens" is... it's a leap, dude. How do you know this on Day 1? I'm not asking you to answer, I'm asking everyone else to ask themselves the question.
How can PP, on Day 1, know there are "3 other wardens" in the game, and apparently know who they are (as he "knows" I'm not one of them)?
Also, isn't it a coincidence that HE has this info? If it was anyone else, I'd think "Gee, 4 wardens? How odd." but no, this is just another in a long line of over-reaching, overly-excitable arguments from a dude who misread one of my posts and has been jumping all over me ever since.

Alright, I'm at work so I can't pour through and multi-quote but I will address several issues that have been raised and hopefully clear the path for that good ole' bandwagon to get on rolling
1) "What if PP is just trying to kill the principal"?
First of all, I've been on Self's butt LONG before he dropped a single hint. And I really don't think that first comment about derek was a hint at all. It may have been said in jest, but if you take the time to look back, I've been riding my high horse far before Self started dropping a hint that was actually obvious.
2) How can PP know there are 3 more wardens in the game?
Before you ask me this, ask yourself: "How useful could this information be to scum before I pry it out of PP." If I reveal more information, it WILL put other players at risk. Namely because I know their abilities and alignments which is always useful for scum groups to have. Wardens are powerful characters, they protect and roleblock so can be used for both protection, roleblocking, or both, a very versatile ability. Now ask yourself is it really worth exposing other powerfully helpful players to scum crosshairs JUST so we can lynch someone who's acted scummy as hell already?
3) Well, Self has acted very scummy but....
Before you finish that statement, look at what you just said. I should just start quoting people and bolding this part of their statements. Self has acted scummy. What more do you need to lynch that guy?
4) We don't want to mislynch D1....
Why? The only people that know for absolute certain whether Self is scum are the scum. As much as I'm baying for blood, I will acknwoledge that there is a very slim chance this game does have 4 wardens (or more?) that Self IS actually the principal and that maybe, just maybe, he's actually town aligned.
I'd bet a significant chunk of change that at least one of those possabilities is false though.
So, the only people who really know who's scum are and aren't are scum. So any time a lynch occurs, patterns can emerge. Scum can try and hide it, but that reveals other patterns. The more votes that happen, the more likely it is that someone will get caught. This will provide the evidence needed for future lynches.
5) I don't like D1 lynches...
If we don't lynch now, we end the phase with nothing. I will have exposed a LOT of useful townie info to scum with no payoff. This will ONLY help scum. A mislynch will not help scum nearly as much as a no lynch because Self IS the center of attention at the moment. We know it, scum knows it to. So while we're all focusing our attention on him, we're wasting valuable townie resources that are better spent searching through the ranks trying to pick up useful investigative info.
Plus when the results come back that Self is scum, then we have to waste another day phase lynching him.
Right now town needs information. The only way we can be 100% sure of Self is when he's dead. He might turn up town because he's a don. He might be an indy...who knows? We can if we lynch him.
And look at risk=reward. We have the potential for lynching scum D1! This will give us valuable intel on what kind of scum are out there. Like for example, maybe he IS the principal but really is a Don of a second scum group. For example, there could be 2 scum groups, one which are the Rita/Zedd baddie monsters, another one that represents the many non-monster antagonists that the rangers encounter. Bulk and Skull are considered bullies...not to point fingers but would it be that outlandish for them to be the hitmen of a non-monster scum group?

So you don't think it's fishy at all that he says he knows of 3 other wardens. But won't elaborate on just how he knows? I'm not asking for names, I'm just wondering why.
I do think it's a little odd. When I said he's already played his hand I meant that he might as well tell us how he knows.

Before you ask me this, ask yourself: "How useful could this information be to scum before I pry it out of PP." If I reveal more information, it WILL put other players at risk. Namely because I know their abilities and alignments which is always useful for scum groups to have. Wardens are powerful characters, they protect and roleblock so can be used for both protection, roleblocking, or both, a very versatile ability. Now ask yourself is it really worth exposing other powerfully helpful players to scum crosshairs JUST so we can lynch someone who's acted scummy as hell already?
I believe this is called irony.
He's right on one thing, he's been on me LONG before he knew I was the principal. I doubt it's the character he wants dead. It's me.

And yes, if he comes back green I'll sit down, shut up, apologize profusely to Self and answer any/all questions to figure out what went wrong.

But sorry you went to Taco Cabana. You can get far better Tex-Mex from Casa Ole or Iguana Joe's typically, though dependent on the location of said restraunt. But Taco Cabana? They might as well be serving plates of cold garbage, always. Had I known your plan, I would've warned you to stay away. Don't let its horribleness lead you to believe that food down here sucks, because it doesn't.
When I got my tacos and there was nothing but the beef/chicken, I was like "sweet, I'll find the taco bar". When I discovered there was no taco bar, I almost threw them back over the counter. Left the beef one half eaten. I didn't see the other Tex-Mex places, but Whataburger, Jack-in-the-Box, Pappas' and especially Saltgrass Steakhouse made for some good eatin' down there.
And prague, I didn't mean out one of your teammates. Just name a character (the role) of one of the wardens to help me wrap my head around three wardens on 1 team.

Unless this is game where town is super-overpowered again, I can't see there being more wardens.
At first when Self revealed, I thought "well shoot, maybe he was townie that just played really poorly. But then he posted that role, then I re-read my PM and realized that unless the mods sent a major curveball by overloading with jailors, Self is lying.
My gut is telling me that he's a scum roleblocker. Maybe he really is the principal but on the scum side. Having a scum warden would help offset the townie wardens, wouldn't it?
I'm not even going to fight any more. This game is bringing out the worst in me. If y'all think lynching me is the way to go, have at it. You'll have your next target after that.

Usually a day that ends with people bored to tears, our first day of the invasion seems to be big. For most of the day two sides argued, momentum rising and falling in favor of both. Neither side truly able to end the debate, the town focused on it for most of the day. Not even a message over the television seemed able to truly settle things.

Not that it matters now. But this part really irritates me.
He was "self-proclaimed" MVP because he was part of a powerful mason group with a kickass investigative power. As the reveals notice, he had info that treton was a vote manipulator and sat on it for a day or two before revealing it, and even then it wasn't anything subtle or amazing, just
"tretons a vote manipulator." Sure he was valuable as Rikku but anyone can be valuable if they're a part of a mason group with investigative powers.
I outed Sylar in Hollywood Horrors because I had a list of suspects handed to me by the mods.
And that's also implying that good players can't be scum? Wouldn't it be more dangerous to have a good player playing as scum? Finally, Self made some very poor decisions this day phase. Not saying that I didn't, but considering the way he acted, even go so far as saying "I don't really care about this game"... how in the heck does that keep someone out of the gallows?
/shakes fist in general directions.
I was feeling all special because I picked up some subtle tells, able to trigger Self into making a bunch of scummy posts, forced him to fake claim that I could counter...and still no one takes me seriously.

I take solace in knowing that No Country For Old Men's writing is superior than that of Heroes to the point that Heroes might as well be a high school play that only had one rehearsal.

Chances are he had alot to catch up on. I wouldn't place a vote without reading the entire thread.Exactly, I had 12+ hours worth of posts, and I want to have all the information I can before I vote so I don't vote unless I'm caught up.

I hadn't chimed in because I was still catching up.
And me not having spoken up should be considered par for the course. I was still trying to process everything. To someone like Self, their vote is a plaything to use how it amuses them while they wait for the proper use. To me, it's a sacred trust. If I'm to move it around, I have to know why. I have to know why I think i know stuff. That rarely happens for me on Day 1. Things that may be completely obvious to some talk fly right over my head because so much is being thrown around at once. For guys, like Midnightnick and MJ risk may equal reward. My philosophy is more Tortoise and the Hare. Slow and steady wins the race.

Not in mafia. The longer the game goes on, the more Night Kills mafia gets and the closer they get to being able to dominate the votes.
Right now with 32 people, a 3 person mafia isn't going to have much impact. But flash forward 10 days when 10-20 townies are dead and suddenly 3/10 is a much bigger percentage.

I agree with this. When I first started playing I would throw my vote around, I am calmer with it now.
Prague, I think the reason the votes didn't pile up is because you were asking for so much trust. This is hard to do even if you're a definite townie, let alone D1 when everyone knows next to nothing. Even if I had made it back on before deadline (Slept right through it :D) I probably wouldn't have jumped on. However, you've given everyone an easy choice for N1! ;)

Actually, I was sure Self was claiming a principal of some sort, after I voted for him, when he said "I'll see you in my office later".

I'm an American, it's what we do best. I mean, we built a city on a swamp below sea level, so a skyscraper over quicksand is easy-peasy.

This is true. At least Self has given us his full role title, even if it is a false one.

I'll admit, the first 1/2 of the rush was to get info out of Self who was being very close lipped. The recent push, however, came from his claimed ability and knowledge gleaned from my personal role.
While it would have been more awesome if another person stepped forward with a counter-claim, I think counter-claiming warden(s) should be pretty damning evidence IF you assume I'm telling the truth.
But then again, as town why would I lie about something like this? And as scum, I'd be a complete dumbass for putting so much attention on myself.
I stepped into the spotlight and took the bandwagon reigns loudly and proudly.
And as a personal note, I don't dummy up evidence just to prove my point. You'll notice that before then I didn't say I had incontrivertible evidence, I said I had very strong feelings about Self being scum to the point that I was writing him as scum in my books.
However, the warden thing I know. I know there are several wardens out there and they aren't Self. Could Self be a townie warden? Maybe, but unlikely given the numbers.
Could Self be a scum warden? Now we're getting somewhere.
Could Self just be lying? Most likely. I caught him on a few lies before, and chances are after N1 he'll have to lie again to save his skin.

The only reasoning I could think of is that you have a win condition that requires the Principal to die.

I believe I have done far more in D1 to prove my towniness then any title or color would indicate.
let me remind you that I was one of the first to pick up derek's hint and I will persue scumminess with all my considerable strength.
Because of me, Self is between a rock and a hard place, and that's a good place for scum to be :D

Even as Self pointed out, I was on Self's case long before he posted he was a principal.
Plus can you think of a character out to get the principal? And if that character is town, wouldn't that make the principal scum?
Just thoughts. I will say that my win condition is straight and pure town. Nothing more, nothing less.

What lies? What lies have you caught me telling?
My role? Not a lie. My affiliation? Not a lie. The reason I've done everything I've done so far? Not a lie. You haven't caught any lies. You merely have hunches. Hunches with merit, but don't act like I've been throwing around fake claims, and pretending I'm a miller, and saying I was one place, then changing my story. I haven't lied once.
Okay... twice. Once when I said I was going to bed (got hungry and needed a snack) and then when I said I was making a "Cup of Tea" when in actuality, I had one in front of me. Those were my only lies, and you caught neither of them.

I'm not sure why you said that about the cup of tea, but I suppose sometimes it's easier to say the wrong thing so as to not seem rude to leave.

Really? I believe in your very first paragraph you said you lied twice already :D
Semantics aside, I don't believe your ability because there are too many wardens, or more specifically too many townie wardens. So I"m going with a 2/3 factor when I look at you.
You have a role: Mr. Kaplan
You have an affiliation: green townie
YOu have an ability: wardan
At least one of the above isn't true, I'm wiling to give you 2/3 but I just can't believe there are 4 townie wardens. 3 is pretty crazy, but 4? Especially one so completely unrelated to the others.
Affiliation could be suspect because I seem to remember the power rangers being thrown into detention in an episode or two.
ANd of course, you could just be lying completely.
Anyway, if a player acts scummy, and lies and twists and turns, there's a very good chance he's scum. Or a poor townie player which can be almost as damaging as scum for wasting time and resources.
