You know what C-verse gimmick I really miss?

[Comradebot]

Wait, scum would make us vote extra to lynch UFC ... in order for us to think UFC is scum and lynch him...

Why not just let us lynch him?

The lulz?

[GruntMark]

I swear, I've agreed with your point of view so often in this game Imma be super pissed if you turn up scum.

[Astil]

Seriously, why would scum try to delay King's vote.

[Comradebot]

Well, screw it...

Vote: UFC-King

I know it'd make sense to just let us lynch him, but... I can't shake the fact that manipulating the vote could be the scum playing some form of mindgames.

[GruntMark]

Maybe they havent. Maybe someone is a 0 voter and doesnt want to out themselves as it.

Or maybe King just naturally takes more votes to send to the gallows.

[Astil]

The lulz?

Oh ... well ...

I tap two blue and play counterspell. The lulz has been countered. This is now srs bsns.

[mjdgoldeneye]

Seriously, why would scum try to delay King's vote.

Maybe they just don't want him to die or want to stall.

If anything, this is more reason to lynch him, not less.

Don't look to far into it. No need for a WIFOM situation of mind-***ery.

[bak42]

There could be a vote negator out there and the person whose vote they negated doesn't know that their vote doesn't count.

[foolinc]

Seriously, why would scum try to delay King's vote.

A no lynch might work out better for them since it forces us waste another day voting for King if we wish to lynch him for being inactive.

[mjdgoldeneye]

All scum blockage is now destroyed.


Seriously, I once had an ingenius plan to create a deck filled with NOTHING but various different basilisks as my creatures... back in middle school.

Would've been lulzy to see guys throwing out all these massive monsters, just to get slapped down by my horde of murderous kamikaze lizards.

So, I think the soil in here is now properly fertilized to grow some truly massive virginity crops.

Indeed, we should have quite the harvest.

I'm feeling somewhat left out since I've never played MtG.

Hey Arrows, I changed my vote onto UFC-King from Zero9Teen a while back...

unless...

Shane Hannigans!

It's cool. I never played either.

I'll stick with my 20 sided die.

Day Two

Everyone gathered at their normal spot, discussing their choices for the lynch of the day as they went about their normal business in the youth center. For all of the answers they'd hoped to have coming into the day, they had none.

Then all attention fell on someone else. Someone quiet, sitting alone near the juice bar. As a large number of the patrons made their way over, UFC-KING wouldn't even have time to speak as they drug their choice towards the middle of the room.

It was there that this life was taken, a casualty of what would be a very long war. Of course, when they realized what they'd done, they couldn't help but feel bad about the situation.

UFC-KING is dead. He was Marge, Angel Grove Aligned Blue Obsessed Nerdy Chick.

It is now Night Phase Two. You have until 2:00 AM EDT, 7:00 AM GMT Monday June 8th to get your night actions sent in to BlueStar and Arrows.

Blue Obsessed Nerdy Chick...anyone got a clue what she would do?

[Tha Black Phenom]

PC Geek... watcher... who knows.

Still think we shoulda lynched 019 but what's done is done.

Yay, me can post fully.

[ShadowedFlames]

Blue Obsessed Nerdy Chick...anyone got a clue what she would do?

I'm not sure, but likely something to do with Billy, the original Blue Ranger.

Something for me to look up after a round of sleep.

OK, if Marge is in, there's no good reason why Melissa wouldn't. At least that's my opinion.

While it stinks UFC was actually townie, that this...Marge person is actually in this game supports Z9T and Self's roles being in this game in my mind as well.

Blue Obsessed Nerdy Chick...anyone got a clue what she would do?

I've watched one episode of Power Rangers in the last, maybe, 5 years (or more). It was 2 nights ago... It was the one featuring Marge!

Basically, in the episode, there's supposed to be a dance at the youth center place that the Rangers hang out at. Billy didn't have a date, but he meets Marge who is as nerdy as him. They decide to go to the dance, but they also decide to meet earlier to talk about Billy's weather machine or some other plot McGuffin.

Meanwhile, Rita calls upon a random villain named Madame Woe (voiced by Alex Borstein, who's Lois from Family Guy) to capture Billy. However, she accidentally captures Marge when she shows up at the meeting place.

The Rangers team up to save Marge from the alternate dimension she was placed in and everyone is happy. Near the end, Marge talks about how she especially liked the Blue Ranger.

As far as I know, Marge is as obscure as Melissa. 019 isn't looking as bad now.

How lucky and awesome am I? :p

[Astil]

OK, if Marge is in, there's no good reason why Melissa wouldn't. At least that's my opinion.

Mine too, sorry Z9T.

[Midnightnick]

Actually, Nick, MtG uses 20 sided die as life counters sometimes.

Oh score. Break the walls down, teach me Astil?

[mjdgoldeneye]

Let's look at it this way: Instead of lynching 019, we lynched the perfect analogue (and he was completely inactive).

Melissa and now Marge make me wonder: Does every Power Ranger have a linked friend of some sort? Maybe an unknown enabler or "plot device" that can interfere with their powers?

I'm intrigued...

[mjdgoldeneye]

Also, if Marge is in, I wouldn't be surprised if we saw Madame Woe show up. She'd be perfect for a scummy jailer or roleblocker.

[Astil]

Oh score. Break the walls down, teach me Astil?

Hopefully that's sarcastic excitment, because if not prepare for extreme dissapointment.

In Magic, you start with 20 life. You go down (or up, but mostly down) from there.

Hence using a d20.

[Astil]

Night all.

[Zero9teen]

[Prophet]

All right, first off ... deadliest warrior is ... awesome!

Secondly, when I started rolling this ball down the hill, I honestly didn't expect it to reach this conclusion. Kind of hoped he'd see the votes, and admit to actually following along. However, now clearing Z9t in the process, does give it a silver lining. Sorry you have to be restricted longer, Z9t, but we'll get ya the win for it. :D

Thirdly ... deadliest warrior is AWESOME!

Oh ... I said that already. Oopsie!

The one between the pirate and the knight was insane! When he dropped the armored foe, and opened his visor, while holding a flintlock?

That show pumped all kinds of testosterone into me. Gave me an awesome idea for a full out game, too. Another of those wild it'd never work ideas. I'm scheming as we speak. lol

Caught up. (Though I will get behind again)

That would be interesting. It looks like that to me, but then again I would believe anything.
It's sad to see a townie down, but UFC wasn't active (but then again so am I), don't know if I would of vote, to much irony.

Deadliest warrior is awesome, though the matchups are a little unbalanced with the warriors time in history, advances of weaponry over time, and the environment. But still awesome.

A part of me feels so bad about this, but the creativity you display in expressing your thoughts is great.

I thought that, at first, but the Spartan skewering the ninja, in gear how many years older, made me rethink it. Then I felt geeky, when I raised my fist and yelled "SPARTA!" with him, like I could hang with that guy. I couldn't even carry his shield. lol

It's fascinating, though. That one, and Life After People. And both times, I get sucked in with these awesome visuals, and like 11 minutes pass, and I think "wow, how interesting, I didn't realize that bef ... dammit, I'm learning!" Darn television has turned on me! :p

*bows politely*

[Self]

I'm perfectly comfortable with the lynch. It goes some was towards clearing 019, who actually contributes, and all we lost was UFC_King, who doesn't.

Still, tonight people have got to get on clearing a few of the more suspect names out there. With PP coming back (today?) I know I'd like some hard evidence backing me up so we don't get in the same arguments over and over again.

Secondly: as this would be meta-gaming, I'm not going to answer that question in this thread. When I get around to continuing my nightly write-up reviews for FF Mafia (note to myself: I need to get on that at some point this weekend...), I'll touch on it there, possibly. As it stands, I'm not going to answer that here out of conflict of interest, and also because we had this discussion earlier in the game, if memory serves.

It doesn't matter now, but that's a perfectly acceptable decision.

[Derek B]

Morning all.

I wouldn't normally say this, but I'm glad we mislynched. UFC can use it as a lesson in being active for future games (as can other players) while we have also learned the nature of more of the potential roles in this game. I've been trying to do some digging on some possible characters and my brain has gone numb from effort.... but I at least feel like I can recognise some names now, which is always good.

And in preperations for Pokemon mafia (which will be awesome) I've started a new game of Ruby and watching more pokemon episodes in the background. 230 down, just another 300 or so to go! :D

[Antithesis]

I guess the result worked out, but it isn't clear to me, reading this. Was there an issue with the vote count?

[Self]

Arrows counted 20 of us having votes on UFC_King. 20 was the number we needed, but it didn't go through. THEN ya_its_me reminded Arrows of an earlier vote change, making it 21 votes on him, and it went through.

So either no voter, or vote manipulator took one of our votes off (not sure why) or there's an outside chance UFC needed an extra vote on him. I'm leaning towards the first option.

Thats what i thought. Given that momentum was against UFC, the most likely scenario is either UFC needed +1 as part of his role or there is a no vote in the game.

I echo these sentiments. Cant really understand the point of signing up and not posting. Especially if you are town. Hopefully seeing that you will be lynched will discourage this play style from here on in.

[Derek B]

I'd just like to say now...

The next two weeks are gonna be pretty busy for me. I've got a fairly active work schedule to cover my basic hours while I take the weekends to go to my sister's wedding ceremony one weekend and my mother's 50th birthday the next weekend. Assuming I'm still alive (can't see why I wouldn't be) then I'd probably be an ideal target for our jailers to look at. :)

[ya_its_me]

I don't know if Zero9Teen is out of the woods yet in my opinion, I think there's plenty enough obscure roles for people to just claim, wasn't there like a different obscure character for every episode?

[cappyboy]

OK, if Marge is in, there's no good reason why Melissa wouldn't. At least that's my opinion.

Sounds reasonable to me as well. Shame to lose a townie. But since it essentially fixes the time frame to early Rangers only, it does serve well as far as judging future claims go. Combined with the nature of the player, I call that an acceptable sacrifice.

[moon_lit_tears]

I swear to God I'm gonna pistol whip the next person who says shenanigans.

Well SHENANIGANS

Seriously, why would scum try to delay King's vote.

I think we have a no voter.

Blue Obsessed Nerdy Chick...anyone got a clue what she would do?

I have no clue, but I hope it was not a protector or watcher. I'de think an obsessed chick maybe watches people?

Sorry I wasn't around yesterday. Causins birthday party she turned 1.

[ya_its_me]

*snaps fingers*

I think I may've known what Marge was, she once went out on a date with Billy (Blue Ranger.) So maybe it's a role like Wendy in SP, she has to look for Billy each night and then possibly become masons.

[Self]

I'd doubt it, purely because I expect Billy would mason up with the other Power Rangers, if he hasn't already. I guess a character having 2 potential groups isn't totally out of the question, but it strikes me as a long shot.

I'd have guessed Watcher.

[Arrows]

treton came to me last night and asked if I could find a replacement for him. So, thanks to our alternates list, we have one.:D

d_w_w will be replacing treton as of now.

I got most of them right, thought for sure that the viking would beat the samurai, and was torn on the Yakuza/Mafia one, just because of the ice pick. But watching that dude crack a pig ... awesome!

You got it. Ironically, it was the Yakuza vs. Mafia show that sparked the thought. :p

[praguepride]

So I come back from my trip and find out something horrible

YOU DIDN'T LYNCH SELF?


Seriously, WTF?

[Self]

Honestly, I think the "3 wardens" thing hindered your case more than helped it. Either that or they just like me :D

I know you're convinced I'm scum, and I find that adorable, but to everyone else I'm a person of interest, nothing more. Hopefully, through people's actions in this night phase, my innocence will be proven and we can be friends.

C'mon. How 'bout a hug?

[lprock]

They just don't listen to me, I'm sorry sir. I failed.

[praguepride]

-----------------------------------------------------------------

"Come on guys, let's get this one first!"

"Right behind ya!"

They ran towards where they saw their target, not noticing the huge shadow bearing down on them. Chunks of the large building fell away at the might of every foot step, finally causing them to turn and see what the disturbance was.

Their eyes moved up. Up. Up. WAY up. Past their target in it's pocket. On up.

"That's... gotta be worse than giant monsters."



THIS WAS THE WARDENS! Sheesh. A team of wardens getting involved with someone.

Although meta-game I must applaud Arrows & Bluestar for doing the "less is more" as this will make scum hunting much more difficult, but come on people.

Zero19 wasn't roleblocked, a principal in no way, shape, or form showed up in the write ups...

and you went ahead with a lynch on an AFK townie.

A lynch, which I might add, Self was proclaiming a desire for before the bandwagon started rolling. A desire born out of the fact that he knows who's scum and who isn't.

Considering how he barely squeaked by D1 I'm surprised there wasn't any pressure on him. Especially given that there is no proof in the write ups that he is who he says he is.

If he acts scummy, has a probable scummy role.... the he's scum :D

**Kids everywhere are pissed when they realize this is one of those "learny" episodes where the Rangers don't even use their Zords**

**Screw the Power Blaster**

Was I the only one that prefered the rangers fighting on their feet over fighting with the zords? :p I prefered funky kicks and punches over a big slow iron thing fighting a big beast.

Ah the 3CPO of PR, you got to love him.

I'll admit, those episodes did provide a refreshing change of pace from the standard formula of, fight monster until it's on it's last legs, Rita/Zedd/both cast spell making the monster huge, battle using zords until monster is destroyed.

It always made me wonder why they didn't just call the zoids first, squash the monster while the monster was small and actually save the local town from having two titans throwing each other around.

[masterded]

You know what the greatest lesson Power Rangers ever taught a kid was? In a fight the nuts are fair game.

Though it still seems kind of weird to have a glass box around an emergence button just to make the robots knee a monster in the nuts.

[bak42]

It always made me wonder why they didn't just call the zoids first, squash the monster while the monster was small and actually save the local town from having two titans throwing each other around.

Because that would make sense. And it's zords, not zoids.

Another thing, how the hell did Rita get her staff back after she throws it down to earth to make her monsters grow?

[mjdgoldeneye]

Sign up for the game at my mafia site! (http://mjdmafia.proboards.com/index.cgi)

I still need a decent number of people.

Also, PP, if Self isn't scum, and we lynch him, we will probably lynch you on principal. Constantly badgering a player that turns up townie should be punished in order to discourage such behavior in the future. It really sucks for the person on the other end most of the time.

Sign up for the game at my mafia site! (http://mjdmafia.proboards.com/index.cgi)

I still need a decent number of people.

I agree with these sentiments. Part of me thinks praguepride wins if Self is lynched.

[praguepride]

If we lynch Self and he's townie, I'll spill role, powers, everything.

Town can decide what they will. And we've already established that I don't care about him being a principal.

You certainly do seem very adament that he's scum. I think this is the first time you've even acknowledged the possibility that he may not be.

[bak42]

I agree with these sentiments.

As do I, let's face it, we've got two characters who appeared in only a single episode here, then there should be plenty of room for the school principal who appeared in several episodes. Heck that teacher, I'm drawing a complete blank on her name, is probably in the game.

[Astil]

She walks down to Earth, defeated and dejected to retrieve her rod.

If that's the case, why didn't the rangers just confiscate the rod thereby preventing her from making any more of her monsters grow?

Nah, I've said it many times before that it's possible, but considering how scummy he's acted, I don't think there are really any other valid leads.

I mean, last phase you guys resorted to lynching an AFK player...that's gotta mean that there aren't a lot of leads at the moment, right?

[Astil]

Nothing better to get school canceled or delayed then a giant monster attacking the city?

If there's a giant monster, I'll just find the "5 minutes to end of episode" button.

They're teenagers with attitude, not teenagers with intelligence.You'd think that Billy or Zordon would be able to come up with that idea.

Strangely enough, all that destruction done to the city and the school never even gets touched.

This game is making me think of my childhood and the movies and TV shows I remember watching and loving back then. Is it messed up that list includes Deliverance, Full Metal Jacket, Platoon and so on.

Platoon is a great film. If I remember correctly that has John C. Ginley in it, Dr. Cox from Scrubs.

[Gabbo]

Meh some of what I said makes no sense/more sense/obvious with the lynch result on UFC and whatnot now but I've spent along time on this MQM so its being posted. :D

No no, I meant. I asked ahead because I thought I could cheat the system by doing dead rangers, but they've got to be alive and kicking.

So if 7 die before you work them out you can't win?

Well, that's what I'm saying. I'm thinking Adam, Aisha, & Rocky are around, but not rangers at th emoment. If Jason the original red ranger bites the big one, maybe Rocky assumes that mantle and becomes the new red ranger? Theory, nothing more, nothing less.

/nod. My thinking too, otherwise with 5/6 rangers its very easy to lose 3 early on and then B+S can't win. This way is more interesting...


If it was a one off thing, it'd be one thing. If he was simply quiet, like some others, it'd be one thing. But he signs up for games, drops in once every 9 days, drops a vote on whatever bandwagon is rolling at the time, even if it's been halted, and disappears. It gets frustrating after awhile.

/nod. There's alot who play that way too. However we need to be careful after the mislynch on UFC (who, in fairness, deserved it).

I, for once, am subscribing to MNN's "risk vs. reward" philosophy. If he's lying, he's scum. If he's not, what exactly are we losing?

Change Vote: Zero9Teen

A voter? Surely someone can find something out about him at night before we lynch? He's online and reading so at the very least he'll be a contributing member of the town.

*...*
/I can read

Then surely you can type? Meh as I've said this takes place within a narrative not a internet cafe.

So there are up to 10 potential rangers, but probably not all at once. Rocky/Adam/Aisha/Kat, if they are in the game, are possibly backups.

This game is MMPR, she was never a ranger in MMPR. I wouldn't think she was in the game.

Townie role from marvel Mafia, purposefully designed to be lynch bait

Exactly.

2 doesn't really fit as Mystique was a generally scummy character with a town role. Melissa is simply unlikely to a very high degree.

I just don't know if there's room for her in this game.

Try and name, uhhhh, what? 25? Very well established townies names from MMPR. Can't do it. Hell try and name 15... She did have a major role in an entire episode. I think I'm ready to give 019 the benefit of the doubt.

Change Vote: UFC-King

Not that he'll read this, but...

THAT'S for telling everyone in Punk Mafia that you were recruited into scumdom, preventing our imminent victory, and leading to the death of The Ramones!

Amazing. It was my first game on GDS, and I was expecting such a high standard all round. I questioned him, called him scum and then watched him deny it whilst posting his scummy role title. XD

I don't know if Zero9Teen is out of the woods yet in my opinion, I think there's plenty enough obscure roles for people to just claim, wasn't there like a different obscure character for every episode?

Pushing hard.

So I come back from my trip and find out something horrible

YOU DIDN'T LYNCH SELF?


Seriously, WTF?

I'm dreading the catch up reading on day 3 all ready.

If we lynch Self and he's townie, I'll spill role, powers, everything.

Town can decide what they will. And we've already established that I don't care about him being a principal.

I care that he's scum :D

That's a little picky. I'm sure mjdgoldeneye did well enough to come up with twenty-five characters.

Oh, yea, indeed... I thought of him but didn't type it...

Take of Masked Rider then. He was a random character that turned into a spin-off show.

Also, I changed the theme for the game on the other site to House, M.D.

[mjdgoldeneye]

That's a little picky. I'm sure mjdgoldeneye did well enough to come up with twenty-five characters.

Despite 7/8 of those names not being directly from MMPR, taken from series' after or the film, point taken.

modkill prolly

Can't see it being modkill, it's usually just a role transformation or further restriction or whatever. I doubt even Arrows knows at this point.

[Gabbo]

Despite 7/8 of those names not being directly from MMPR, taken from series' after or the film, point taken.

To add to that, a balanced game is about roles not characters and having something like 15 rangers in the game kinda limits what you can do with a role. Stuff like the Melissa role is different and more interesting.

Maybe that's just my inner mod speaking. We'll see what the night brings.

[mjdgoldeneye]

Despite 7/8 of those names not being directly from MMPR, taken from series' after or the film, point taken.

7/8ths of those names is about equal to 22. Seeing as there's 25 names, I don't see how that can be possible. Random and inaccurate fractions don't tend to go over well. :p

Also, the movie should be fair game as it's dealing directly with the MMPR universe. It isn't considered canon, but it's the highest budget piece of work relevant to the series.

Also, the alien rangers where technically part of season 3. They were even called the Might Morphin' Alien Rangers.

Leaving out the alien rangers and the one movie character, you still have 20 names.

Otherwise, until we lynch someone, the deadline will stay there... :eek:

Night phase. Chilly.

You certainly do seem very adament that he's scum. I think this is the first time you've even acknowledged the possibility that he may not be.

I believe he's mentioned around D1 that if Self is town, he'll spill everything about himself.

Nah, I've said it many times before that it's possible, but considering how scummy he's acted, I don't think there are really any other valid leads.

I mean, last phase you guys resorted to lynching an AFK player...that's gotta mean that there aren't a lot of leads at the moment, right?

At the same time, the Self lead has lost some steam. There's one man behind the megaphone and it doesn't look like many seem to be onboard with it all. For the right or wrong reasons, we'll see. But in the meantime, we had a lead throughout. 019.

How about you suggest another deal of yours? :p

Night Two

One person's decision would prove to make a huge difference on this night.

The target wandered aimlessly, yet still in search of something. Approaching someone, that someone stuck an arm out to block the path.

"Yeah?"

"Come with me."

-----------------------------------------------------------------

The attacker found the target and watched, waiting patiently for the right time to strike. This would certainly be a fun one.

The attacker leapt into action at just the right moment, the first attack deflected. A second attack found itself deflected as well. The target began to fight back, taking charge of the fight.

Unable to gain much ground on the attacker, the momentum slowly began to shift back. The victim went to the ground, backing up as fast as humanly possible in attempt to escape the incoming attack.

Blocked.

The attacker groaned at the sight of another willing to help out the target and turned, casually walking away from the battle.

-----------------------------------------------------------------

She watched her target, studying everything they did. This wasn't who she meant to be checking out, but it didn't matter. Anyone was better than no one. Just as she turned to leave, she saw someone standing in the distance and smiled, slowly making her way that way.

As she approached, she noticed something was different. This wasn't who she thought it was. A quick 180, and she started to run in the other direction, completely unsuspecting of the shot to the back of the head she would suffer.

-----------------------------------------------------------------

The moron watched as his target followed someone else. He kept his distance, simply watching, not knowing that someone was keeping their distance and watching him as well. His target seemed graceful.

Shame he wasn't. He might have been able to dodge the attack which came from another behind him.

He fell to the floor, holding the back of his head just as his vision faded.

Taking note of what he'd just seen, he turned to walk away, coming to an almost immediate stop. Before he could even react he'd felt the swift attack of the sword and fallen to the ground. One more vicious swipe and the attacker walked away.

-----------------------------------------------------------------

bak42 is dead. He was Katherine Hillard, Angel Grove Aligned New Girl In Town.

Astil is dead. He was Zack Taylor, Power Rangers Aligned Black Ranger.

Actarus has been injured. He will be unable to post during Day Phase 3.

My guess? Someone attacks the Power Ranger (hence the fight scene) but the Ranger has a Protector.

bak42 gets shot. OMG it's Kat (I like just wiki'd this as I didn't recognise the name) I'd say this all but confirms the theory that Adam, Rocky & Aisha aren't full blown-Rangers yet (well, maybe Adam). She thought she recognised the killer... I'd be tempted to say it was an evil Ranger, but why would she recognise the Rangers at this juncture?

"Swordsman" attacks "Moron" who watches "Actarus" follow "Someone Else". A "Stun-F***er" takes out Actarus.

How do I know there's 3 wardens?

I'm one of them and it flat out states that my two buddies do the same thing.


So, let's get this wagon rolling.

[Self]

I thought as much. I'm curious, do you work as a team to "warden up" one target, or do you go your separate ways? The write-up made it sound like the former. You don't need to answer, it's probably better if you don't. I'm just curious.

I'm sure once MidnightNick shows up, and reveals whether he got roleblocked or not, the others will either join you or, more likely, not.

[Self]

Also, your Night 1 target was "in the pocket" of something "worse than a giant monster". What do you think that means?

Also, seeing as I'm open to all questioning.

See this doesn't add up for me.

That seems like maybe someone being maybe recruited?

I am not sure it sounds like a protection to me.

Certainly a possibility. I can definitely see it as a Recruitment... but I can also read it as a slacker being taken to Detention.

[Antithesis]

Looking at the write up, I notice there are two more kills N 2 than on N1. I think we may have to pursue the possibility that a killer or killers were roleblocked n1.

[Self]

Glancing back at Night 1...

Wearing quite possibly the worst fake power ranger outfit ever, he'd managed to get plenty of attention. Trying to keep his motorcycle helmet up long enough to see, he didn't expect it to be this difficult to find his target.

Just as he started to close in, he found himself surrounded. This, certainly wasn't what he expected.

They were soon joined by someone else, and the goofily dressed ranger seemed all but doomed until someone leapt in front of him, blocking the shot.

The attacker and protector stared at each other, neither moving, until the attacker simply left.

Here's the "Shot" killer that took out bak42/Kat. He targeted the "Goofily Dressed Fake Ranger" but Glotnot/Putty/Protector was there. So that's one accounted for.

That wouldn't be the end of the fun here tonight though, as yet another made an appearance. (joining Goofy and Protector)

"Stop! I won't let you hurt this one!"
The attacker said nothing.
"What's your problem? Who are you?"
"You don't need to know who I am, yellow ranger. Only that I'm not here for your little buddy there."

Confused, the Yellow Ranger tilted her head to the side. "Then, why are you here?"

"To destroy you."

She made a move for her weapons, underestimating the speed of her opponent. The attacker leapt into the air, coming down with one swift strike to the chest of the target.

As the attacker turned to watch, the yellow ranger's suit seemed to shatter, only to reveal something teleporting away in an orange glow.

"Still no challenge."

And here's the Second Killer, taking out Glotnot/Putty/Protector. Process of elimination says it's the sword one, the write-up doesn't. Could go either way.

Which leaves the injurer. Now I know I put 019 in Detention, and PP and his boys were doing similar (unless the "worse than a giant monster" stopped them) so I guess it's possible that one of them did the deed... maybe.

[Antithesis]

One person's decision would prove to make a huge difference on this night.

The target wandered aimlessly, yet still in search of something. Approaching someone, that someone stuck an arm out to block the path.

"Yeah?"

"Come with me."


"Huge difference" has to be an allusion to one of the kills. Someone 'moved' or blocked a protector I think.

The attacker found the target and watched, waiting patiently for the right time to strike. This would certainly be a fun one.

The attacker leapt into action at just the right moment, the first attack deflected. A second attack found itself deflected as well. The target began to fight back, taking charge of the fight.

Unable to gain much ground on the attacker, the momentum slowly began to shift back. The victim went to the ground, backing up as fast as humanly possible in attempt to escape the incoming attack.

Blocked.

The attacker groaned at the sight of another willing to help out the target and turned, casually walking away from the battle.


This reads to me like the first kill attempt. Looks like a protector stops it though.


She watched her target, studying everything they did. This wasn't who she meant to be checking out, but it didn't matter. Anyone was better than no one. Just as she turned to leave, she saw someone standing in the distance and smiled, slowly making her way that way.

As she approached, she noticed something was different. This wasn't who she thought it was. A quick 180, and she started to run in the other direction, completely unsuspecting of the shot to the back of the head she would suffer.


She must be Katherine/Bak. "Who she emant to be checking out".. allusion to bus driver? Sees someone she thinks is friendly at a distance but closer she becomes scared. Some kind of imposter type. Maybe an evil power ranger? She gets shot in the back of the head. Did they ever use guns on that show?


The moron watched as his target followed someone else. He kept his distance, simply watching, not knowing that someone was keeping their distance and watching him as well. His target seemed graceful.

Shame he wasn't. He might have been able to dodge the attack which came from another behind him.

He fell to the floor, holding the back of his head just as his vision faded.

Taking note of what he'd just seen, he turned to walk away, coming to an almost immediate stop. Before he could even react he'd felt the swift attack of the sword and fallen to the ground. One more vicious swipe and the attacker walked away.


This is confusing. Is the moron the black ranger or Actarus's charcater? I wouldn't think a ranger would be a moron, but again, I really don't know much about the show.

lets go through it.

Moron sees target and thinks target is graceful. Sees target get hit from behind (thus not graceful enough)

Target's vision fades (but it doesn't say target is dead)

Moron turns and then gets attacked by sword (sk I reckon). Moron falls. Presumably dead but not certain.

Any way thats how i read it.

"Still no challenge " guy is the sword user. he says the same thing in the n0 write up and uses a sword.

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.

[Gabbo]

Hmm, the write-ups are interesting, to say the least.


The South, about an hour outside Swansea.

Same here, although I split my time between Uni in Swansea and home time in the Valleys.

Night Two

One person's decision would prove to make a huge difference on this night.

The target wandered aimlessly, yet still in search of something. Approaching someone, that someone stuck an arm out to block the path.

"Yeah?"

"Come with me."



I'd say this is Self sending MNN to detention. Look at the choice of words, clearly states the target, Skull, was looking for something, we know what MNN is looking for.

As for the huge decision, maybe Skull is a protector and protected someone who got killed last night, because Self detained him. I dunno, wait until MNN gets on.

Besides the feel of the piece is more one person having power over the other, a teacher blocking someones path and telling them to follow him. Recruitment is a more fair 50/50 on both parties type of feel.

My guess? Someone attacks the Power Ranger (hence the fight scene) but the Ranger has a Protector.

I'd say you have them the wrong way around. The first was Actarus being attacked.

The moron watched as his target followed someone else. He kept his distance, simply watching, not knowing that someone was keeping their distance and watching him as well. His target seemed graceful.

Shame he wasn't. He might have been able to dodge the attack which came from another behind him.

"Swordsman" attacks "Moron" who watches "Actarus" follow "Someone Else". A "Stun-F***er" takes out Actarus.

Wait... does this imply Zack is a moron?


Moron > watching someone >watching someone. Being watched.

3>Moron>1>2

#1 Is Black Ranger, either being watched by Moron and #3 or just Moron.

Hmm, need to ponder this. Since neither parts of the write-up are clear.

[Gabbo]

Basically Self will be in trouble here if MNN doesn't back him up 100%.

[praguepride]

Basically Self will be in trouble here if MNN doesn't back him up 100%.

*sigh*



Here's the facts that I see before my limited narrow tunnel-vision.

1) I know I'm a warden
2) I know of two other wardens. Agreed this number seems high, but then a 4th warden comes out?
3) Self's self-defense (eh eh? anybody? no? nevermind) was scummy as hell.
4) No write up has come out and cleared him.
5) Zero19 said that he wasn't informed that he'd been blocked.


Seriously, what more do you want? I'm fine for pausing a bit to think and gather information, but it'd be nice if I could get some feedback from town that we are going to pursue Self this phase so I can stop beating my drum, take the broken record off the player, cut the looping vid etc. etc.

1) I believe you
2) Are they independently Wardens though? From the write-up, you sound like you work as a Team. Which doesn't exactly make you the same as me.
3) Annoying is not = to Scummy :D
4) There's a good chance Night 2 does, and even if it hasn't, not everyone appears in the write-ups. I bet there's a ton of you guys with Night Powers who haven't been in write-ups yet, simply because you weren't caught up in clusters of activity.
5) If you don't have a Night Power, and get Roleblocked, you DON'T get a PM. This is a fact, and according to 019, he doesn't have a Night Power, so he wouldn't get a PM. This is precisely why last night I targetted a guy I'm 87% sure DOES have a Night Power, so he'd get a PM and be able to confirm I do what I say I do.

Wait on MidnightNick. That's all I'm saying.

[praguepride]

1) I believe you

:rolleyes:

I'm not giving scum any info.


3) Annoying is not = to Scummy :D


I would disagree. You lied, you misdirected, you ignored perfectly valid issues for the longest time, and nearly tripped over yourself to make a deal even though it could have potentially hurt the town in the long run.


4) There's a good chance Night 2 does, and even if it hasn't, not everyone appears in the write-ups. I bet there's a ton of you guys with Night Powers who haven't been in write-ups yet, simply because you weren't caught up in clusters of activity.


I don't really care if you're a roleblocker because that can be a scum power just as a townie power.

How would you know? How could you possibly know what Zero19 can and can't do, and what the mods do this early in the game? Not to mention that there's a good chance that someone else might have wardened MNN or Zero19 and then this would be bait to try and draw out my warden buddies.


Wait on MidnightNick. That's all I'm saying.

This makes me think of a cult. You don't roleblock, you recruit. Then of course your new cult buddy would come back and say "yeah, He roleblocked me and protected me and everything else he says is correct."

Maybe Zero19 couldn't be recruited because he/she was protected by someone else? Or maybe you can't recruit people who can't hear your :D

If that IS you in the write up, that definitely sounds more like a recruitment then a jail ability.

Anyway, is Self a cult? Eh, maybe. Is Self NOT town-aligned: most definitely.

[Self]

I would disagree. You lied, you misdirected, you ignored perfectly valid issues for the longest time, and nearly tripped over yourself to make a deal even though it could have potentially hurt the town in the long run.

Except for a cup of tea joke I haven't lied. You keep saying this, but you only THINK I've lied. You have no proof. You just keep saying it in the hopes that people will start believing it.

Oh, and why wouldn't I take deal? I'm a townie. Me staying alive is good for me, and good for the town (as long as people get off my back and stop distracting others from puzzling real stuff out) When you said "I have a deal, roleblock 019" what did you expect me to say? "No. I'm town so I don't have to do what you say" That would be ridiculous. I took the deal because I need to prove my innocence and want you to stop hounding me. I don't see how me accepting your terms is scummy to you, except for the fact that I said it.

I don't really care if you're a roleblocker because that can be a scum power just as a townie power.

True enough. If you have the same power, maybe you're the scum version. Goes both ways, dude.

How would you know? How could you possibly know what Zero19 can and can't do, and what the mods do this early in the game? Not to mention that there's a good chance that someone else might have wardened MNN or Zero19 and then this would be bait to try and draw out my warden buddies.

I never said I know what 019 can do (stop misreading my posts) but... okay. I'm 87% certain that a mod wouldn't waste his time sending a "Roleblocked" PM to a person who doesn't have a Night Role to be blocked.

This makes me think of a cult. You don't roleblock, you recruit.

Clever, but no. I think Nick can communicate with Bulk, so I doubt he's recruitable anyway.

The best way to prove my innocence, after my role is properly revealed, is for someone to investigate me. I have no earthly idea why no one has done this yet. Surely y'all are as bored of the PP vs Self tete-a-tete as I am? Someone out there has the power to clear me. Please do it.

[Destiny]

Anyway, is Self a cult? Eh, maybe. Is Self NOT town-aligned: most definitely.

I'm personally fairly certain that you're going to continue along these lines until midnightnick can confirm he's been roleblocked, you may not even believe him after that.

[Self]

Oh, and Anti, you're right. There's another extra attacker in night 2. The one in the paragraph before bak's death. Missed him earlier. It's odd.

2 attacks in Night 1 - Shot Killer is blocked, Sword Challenge Killer takes out Glotnot

4 attacks in Night 2 - Shot Killer kills bak42, Sword Challenge Killer owns Zack, Actarus is cracked o'er the head, and someone fights a Ranger, but is blocked

Those interpretations could be wrong, but yeah. 2 became 4 somehow.

So it is still possible that you did roleblock Zer9Teen and that he's lying about his claim?

[Self]

So it is still possible that you did roleblock Zer9Teen and that he's lying about his claim?

Anything's possible. I certainly roleblocked him. Whether that act made me some kind of hero, protecting the innocent by locking up a homicidal madman, I don't know. I like the idea though :)

Off to do some things around the house. Back to argue later.

[Mr T Jobs To Me]

Moron > watching someone >watching someone. Being watched.

3>Moron>1>2

#1 Is Black Ranger, either being watched by Moron and #3 or just Moron.

Hmm, need to ponder this. Since neither parts of the write-up are clear.

I think #3 is attacking #1 here, and Moron just happens to be injured because they were a potential witness.

Also, there did seem to be an extra attacker from night 1. I agree that taking a look at those who were roleblocked N1 could turn something up.

[praguepride]

Any chance it's a vig who just didn't go out N1?

Anyway, N1 I protected Zero19, didn't get a PM one way or the other about it, though.

As for why, I was hoping that IF Self was actually telling the truth, there would be some kind of interaction between him, me, and Zero19 that would help clear things up. There wasn't.

I especially noticed that IF he did actually target Zero19, he might be the "worse then monster" thing throwing rocks at me.

[praguepride]

"It's...a Power Ranger!" The obnoxious moron couldn't believe it. Standing guard in front of the one he'd chosen to target was one of the people he'd been hunting for.

Of course, that was going to stop him from getting much closer, though he did get to see his target showing off his skills on a punching bag. Before turning and leaving, he made note of the child that seemed to be hiding under a table nearby.

Now that I look back at it, THIS could potentially be me protecting Zero19. I don't know, as the punching bag fits but the Power Ranger thing doesn't.

How old was Melissa? Could she be classified as a child? Anyway, if this IS me, then Self didn't target Zero19 like he said he would.

[praguepride]

I guess my point is that whichever write up, it's obvious* that Self either didn't do what he said he would or isn't who he says it is.

Sorry it's taken me this long to look through the write ups. Remember, I was gone for most of N1 and all of D2

*obvious to me at least

[praguepride]

Ah fudge it, enough with the mysteries. I'm not a power ranger in MMPR, but in the later series I'm one of them.

I consider myself one of the 2nd stringers :D

[SuperOwens]

The write ups are being purposely vague. So no idea if that was Self or what he was actually doing but I can definitely see that fitting his role claim. Of course it could also be a recruitment.

I'm hoping we will have some leads today, I know Derek mentioned having something. Dont really want to go through another day of PP accusing Self and Self defending.

Agree with the idea that our role blockers may have done an awesome job night 1. Its going to be hard to disseminate that info though. And claiming is not a good idea.

[Antithesis]

Any chance it's a vig who just didn't go out N1?

Anyway, N1 I protected Zero19, didn't get a PM one way or the other about it, though.

Could be a vig. Sword killer and Gun user are accounted for. But in a game with 39 people, having 3 scummy killers isn't out of teh question

[Antithesis]

Now that I look back at it, THIS could potentially be me protecting Zero19. I don't know, as the punching bag fits but the Power Ranger thing doesn't.

How old was Melissa? Could she be classified as a child? Anyway, if this IS me, then Self didn't target Zero19 like he said he would.

Obnoxious Moron"

There was a moron mentioned night 2 as well.

That could be Actarus as the moron in the n 1 write up

So you targeted 019, then got attacked by the monster? Was your ability successful? Was there confirmation?

Strikes me that its possible 019 is that monster.

[foolinc]

Hey, would anyone like to help me out here. In a Power Rangers game, what would be the reason behind not being able to "get" to someone you targeted? Unless this is the wording Arrows is using for being roleblocked. And if that is the case, I am changing my question to who the hell roleblocked me. ;)

[Bear]

This is a really awful time for MNN to dawdle. I'm more than willing to believe PP, but I read the first part of the write-up as a bartender as well. I just need something concrete to bring myself to lynch Self.

[praguepride]

So you targeted 019, then got attacked by the monster? Was your ability successful? Was there confirmation?

Strikes me that its possible 019 is that monster.

I received NO pm from the mod about this

*cough*arrows*cough*

I wasn't around to complain because I wasn't here, but we're entering the second day phase where I haven't received a results PM....

[praguepride]

This is a really awful time for MNN to dawdle. I'm more than willing to believe PP, but I read the first part of the write-up as a bartender as well. I just need something concrete to bring myself to lynch Self.

What's a bartender?

[praguepride]

Also, sent a PM to Arrows to figure what the heck is going on :D

[cappyboy]

I'm tempted to say that this is me blocking MNN. I'm not sure what the "huge difference" would mean though.

You know I have a couple ideas where this night phase goes. Problem is they aren't fully formed yet. So I'm not sure how much detail I want to get into about them. The one I hope is true depends on you being right here.

"Swordsman" attacks "Moron" who watches "Actarus" follow "Someone Else". A "Stun-F***er" takes out Actarus.

Wait... does this imply Zack is a moron?

I don't think so. Zack was a bit of a showboat at times. But he was no dummy. In fact, if what I was just saying I hope to be true is, I'm pretty positive I know who Actarus is.

[praguepride]

Also, sent a PM to Arrows to figure what the heck is going on :D

Arrows replied, can't say more out of threat of modkill.

[praguepride]

This line irks me and just makes me chalk another mark on the "Self is scum" post.

He's asking an invesitgator to outhimself to "clear" Self's name. Well, not even counting scum shenanigans (dons appearing as town, reverse-framers masking the guilty (before anyone asks, there are several shapechanging monsters and spells that appear throughout the shows)) then having a scum go down outing a warden and an investigator is starting to get things down in the "fair exchange" column.

If I were in his position, I wouldn't be trying to dig up more info that scum could use, I'd be trying to do my best to help the town as a whole. And this time Self DID post an N2 analysis, although his contributions at this point are questionable. I guess you have to look back at his actual contributions and decide if it's enough to cross the scum/town threshold.

I haven't seen him reveal anything useful so far, except he's really big into trying to oust power rangers (the Zack comment, for example)

[Slim Jim]

Night Two
One person's decision would prove to make a huge difference on this night.

The target wandered aimlessly, yet still in search of something. Approaching someone, that someone stuck an arm out to block the path.

"Yeah?"

"Come with me."

I can believe this being the principal taking someone to detention, maybe Bulk or Skull since they were always pretty aimless, and were searching for Rangers.

Could also be something altogether more sordid though, so it doesn't do too much to help Self.

The attacker found the target and watched, waiting patiently for the right time to strike. This would certainly be a fun one.

The attacker leapt into action at just the right moment, the first attack deflected. A second attack found itself deflected as well. The target began to fight back, taking charge of the fight.

Unable to gain much ground on the attacker, the momentum slowly began to shift back. The victim went to the ground, backing up as fast as humanly possible in attempt to escape the incoming attack.

Blocked.

The attacker groaned at the sight of another willing to help out the target and turned, casually walking away from the battle.

Looks like a Ranger being attacked, probably by a fake Ranger. The real Ranger is then protected and his attacker is so apathetic about the fight, he just walks off.

She watched her target, studying everything they did. This wasn't who she meant to be checking out, but it didn't matter. Anyone was better than no one. Just as she turned to leave, she saw someone standing in the distance and smiled, slowly making her way that way.

As she approached, she noticed something was different. This wasn't who she thought it was. A quick 180, and she started to run in the other direction, completely unsuspecting of the shot to the back of the head she would suffer.

Suggestions of a bus driver here. It looks like Katherine spots a Ranger... who turns out to be a fake Ranger, that kills her. Would probably mean the early attack by the uncommitted guy wasn't a fake Ranger then.

The moron watched as his target followed someone else. He kept his distance, simply watching, not knowing that someone was keeping their distance and watching him as well. His target seemed graceful.

Shame he wasn't. He might have been able to dodge the attack which came from another behind him.

He fell to the floor, holding the back of his head just as his vision faded.

Taking note of what he'd just seen, he turned to walk away, coming to an almost immediate stop. Before he could even react he'd felt the swift attack of the sword and fallen to the ground. One more vicious swipe and the attacker walked away.

This looks to me, working from the top, that the moron Bulk/Skull, I'm assuming Bulk, is watching a graceful target. Obvious options there. He is being watched by someone.

He is then attacked by someone and injured.

The guy watching him is then killed by Goldar. He always had his big ol' sword to hand and since this is the death of a Ranger and it happened before he could react, the attacker has to be someone good and not, for example, a putty.

Sorry I haven't been all that active, not that I usually am early on, but I've been getting a game up and running elsewhere, which has taken a fair bit of my online time in the last few days. Rolling now, so it will take less of my time.

[d_w_w]

Not as carefully caught up as a I'd like, but I'm suspecting that I never will be :(

Quick lets add another 41 pages before he can catch up.

/cry

Anyhow.

I'm having a bit of pronoun confusion in the last scene. Two people get knocked down/out here though, here's how I see it:

Night Two

The moron watched as his target followed someone else. He kept his distance, simply watching, not knowing that someone was keeping their distance and watching him as well. His target seemed graceful.

Shame he wasn't. He might have been able to dodge the attack which came from another behind him.

Actarus fell to the floor, holding the back of his head just as his vision faded.

Taking note of what he'd just seen, Astil turned to walk away, coming to an almost immediate stop. Before Astil could even react Astil felt the swift attack of the sword and fallen to the ground. One more vicious swipe and the attacker walked away.

-----------------------------------------------------------------


The "Shame he wasn't" part is confusing. I believe that is referring to Actarus, but I don't know that that necessarily implies that he's the moron. I think it is this...

Night Two

The moron (Person A) watched as his target (Person B) followed someone else (Person C). He (Person B) kept his distance, simply watching, not knowing that someone was (Person A) keeping their distance and watching him (Person B) as well. His target (Person B or C, leaning toward C...)seemed graceful.

Shame (Person B) he wasn't. He (Person B) might have been able to dodge the attack which came from another behind him (Person A).
-----------------------------------------------------------------


With Actarus being Person B, his target being Person C, and the attacker being A.

I hate being confused :(

[d_w_w]

This is also plausible. They would be the most likely morons after all.

[d_w_w]

Anyhow... I have to actually work now :rolleyes:

Regarding the Self / Praguepride situation. Like I said, I didn't catch up as closely as I'd have liked, but something about Self seems off to me. I'm not sure that I can put my finger on it, but it's at least partially related to the fact that I generally do not trust roleblockers.

I'd like to hear from MNN though. Maybe he can shed some light on that and on the final scene as well.

[cappyboy]

Prague, a question for you. Do you have any other angles or are you going to continue playing this one note samba until either Self, you or both are eliminated?

Not that I'm suggesting your 100% wrong. You might be right for all I know at the moment. But we've all heard your thoughts on this subject. We all know them. And we can use them as a safety net if necessary. But I don't know how much more useful there is to say on this topic until MNN and says whatever it is he will say. Right now, it just feels like a distraction to discovering what else we know and potentially catching freshly confirmed scum out of it.

Of course, it must be noted I have an ulterior motive of personal interest in asking. I have found myself in a personal dilemma that hinges on Self's veracity and an alternative that deeply Greaves me if you are right. But please. Until Nick shows up and can shed some light on things, can you put the crusade on hold while we try to decipher what happened last night. We can always revisit it if Nick fails to support Self.

[Self]

Everything I do seems to come off scummy to you, PP. :)

To clarify, my ability is that I put someone in Detention. This means they are roleblocked AND this means they are unable to be targeted by anyone else. For example, if someone else tried to target Nick last Night, they would have failed, because I'd put them into Detention.

All of this talk about Roleblockers is admittedly confusing. I'm more than a Roleblocker, I'm also a Protector, but Roleblocking is the part that I figure people will get PM's for, hence my harping on about it. It's apparently referred to as a "Warden" role, and honestly, until this game, I'd never heard of it. Now there's 4 of us... apparently

If your power is the same as mine, PP, and we both targeted 019 on Night 1 (a stunt I fully believe you'd pull) then... I don't know. First come, first served? Maybe you got there first? Maybe I got there first? I don't think either of us would have received a "Successful" PM, due to 019 apparently not having an ability to block.

Or maybe you did get a PM. which would imply you got there first AND 019 has a power to block, which means he's lying. Which would be cool to know.

So my question is this, PP, did you successfully target 019 on Night 1. Did you get a PM confirming that it went through? I didn't.

[Mr T Jobs To Me]

You know I have a couple ideas where this night phase goes. Problem is they aren't fully formed yet. So I'm not sure how much detail I want to get into about them. The one I hope is true depends on you being right here.

I don't think so. Zack was a bit of a showboat at times. But he was no dummy. In fact, if what I was just saying I hope to be true is, I'm pretty positive I know who Actarus is.

/nod, I think I'm right there with you.

[Imarevenant]

This is confusing. Is the moron the black ranger or Actarus's charcater? I wouldn't think a ranger would be a moron, but again, I really don't know much about the show.

lets go through it.

Moron sees target and thinks target is graceful. Sees target get hit from behind (thus not graceful enough)

Target's vision fades (but it doesn't say target is dead)

Moron turns and then gets attacked by sword (sk I reckon). Moron falls. Presumably dead but not certain.

Any way thats how i read it.


This looks to me, working from the top, that the moron Bulk/Skull, I'm assuming Bulk, is watching a graceful target. Obvious options there. He is being watched by someone.

He is then attacked by someone and injured.

The guy watching him is then killed by Goldar. He always had his big ol' sword to hand and since this is the death of a Ranger and it happened before he could react, the attacker has to be someone good and not, for example, a putty.

Sorry I haven't been all that active, not that I usually am early on, but I've been getting a game up and running elsewhere, which has taken a fair bit of my online time in the last few days. Rolling now, so it will take less of my time.

Catching up, I tried to keep up knowing I would probably sub in at some point, but damn this is an active game. I like it.


Anywho, was going to respond that I read last nights passage differently than what others had it at; and then Slim went ahead and posted before I could. (Although I have no clue what a Goldar is)

As for the PP v Self debate. I can totally see a principal being a warden type. But then how many wardens are too many? Reminds me of the Gotham game where Arrows, IER, and myself all claimed similar abilities, IER's being the real townie one though.

And waiting on MNN to confirm being blocked, in the grand scheme of things, really proves nothing. As it would be just as easy for a scum roleblocker to target him as a townie roleblocker.

[Comradebot]

The thing is, with characters like the girl who went to the dance with Billy in the game, I have to think that the principal (who appeared in more than just one episode) would be likely to be in.

Meanwhile, we have no idea who PP is or why he's teamed up with two OTHER Wardens.

[mjdgoldeneye]

Yea, I don't want to go after Self until I know who PP is at least.

The whole situation is all hear-say.

[praguepride]

Prague, a question for you. Do you have any other angles or are you going to continue playing this one note samba until either Self, you or both are eliminated?



I'm willing to put my crusade on hold if it will be for the greater good (I just watched Hot Fuzz again, cue the monotonous mantra "for the greater good")

Anyway. I'll put my crusade on hold, but don't expect it to be for longer then another day phase. I'm willing to give a day for people to talk and assimilate info, but if people start a bandwagon up and it isn't against Self and it doesn't have something concrete like "XYZ turned up non-town" then you can expect me to bitch and moan and fling poo around my monkey cage.


From my perspective, I've got scum dead to rights, so unless someone can pull some really clinching info out of thin air, Self will always be on my "most dangerous to town" list, and thus, when the question eventually comes up "who should we lynch" will say Self loud and proud.

Finally, I don't want the self wagon to be on hold for too long because I REALLY don't want another friggin no-lynch. The problem with lynching AFK's is that it doesn't provide much info.

If everyone decided to just lynch another AFK player I'm going to fling my poo and leave. Arrows can replace me with someone less passionate :D


I really think I've got plenty of info to tip the balance against Self...I just can't understand why there's such reluctance to lynch a scummy player, especially with a decided lack of info on other leads.

From my perspective, lynching Self will reveal a wealth of information, even if he IS townie. For example:

1) That obscure roles ARE in. Him coming up town would help validate Zero19 to a minor degree..
2) That there are a crapload of wardens in this game, and thus typical role balance is thrown out the window. This will allow scum a bit more leeway, but will also help prevent mislynches on the fact that there "too many X"
3) He was telling the truth about who he targetted. I'm not convinced but I can't say why for fear of modkill.

[Bear]

What's a bartender?

A bartender is another name for warden. Invite them for a drink and keep them off the streets. The bartender battle between Arrows and IER in Gotham was enjoyable.

[Antithesis]

I dunno about proove, but would suggest a bit more.

Zero says he didn't get notification of a block because his ability is passive. If MNN confirms Self, it also leads credence to Zero's story as well. Again, that isn't undeniable proof, but it would be evidence Zero and Self are at least being truthful about their respective abilities.

[praguepride]

Yea, I don't want to go after Self until I know who PP is at least.

The whole situation is all hear-say.

I guess my issue is that if I reveal myself...will it matter? I mean, does anyone really NOT believe me when I say I'm a townie warden?

If yes, then I guess I'll claim, but I feel it's info better used for scum in picking their targets then anything that will actually help the town.

[Zero9teen]

Vote: Self

[Self]

So my question is this, PP, did you successfully target 019 on Night 1. Did you get a PM confirming that it went through? I didn't.

You already answered this. My bad.

[mjdgoldeneye]

Here's an idea if the Self wagon is getting stale: Trypio?

He can be a good player, but he's posted only a few times and all of his posts are very forced, unoffending observations of the obvious

[Antithesis]

The thing is, with characters like the girl who went to the dance with Billy in the game, I have to think that the principal (who appeared in more than just one episode) would be likely to be in.

Meanwhile, we have no idea who PP is or why he's teamed up with two OTHER Wardens.

People who know the show, anyone know if there are characters who could make a group of Wardens?

When he first hinted i assumed PP was some kind of ranger, perhaps in a mason group. I guess otehrs may have assumed the same, because he was never really questioned about. But if someone familiar with the show has problems with that story, then maybe PP needs to clear up the confusion.

[cappyboy]

Now this is interesting. Not only would it resolve the inner conflict I'm feeling but it addresses one I hadn't given proper consideration. Which is to say, Prague, if Self and the better half of my dilemma are to be believed, whither your motives? And for that matter, if you both are to be believed on the Warden thing, whither 019's? Depending on your answer, maybe I wouldn't need to hear from Nick after all.

[praguepride]

I dunno about proove, but would suggest a bit more.

I'm going to go ahead and say that unless MNN has a very specific role, he's probably not going to get a PM about being blocked.

Given the lack of info in the write ups, I have a feeling that Arrows won't reveal info unless he absolutely HAS to. So a roleblock or a protection doesn't really NEED info whether it worked or not, it's one way.

Watchers/Trackers/Investigators need feedback because it is inherent to their ability, but the rest of us just have to wait and see. Heck, even kills don't need specific PM feedback because you just have to look at the write ups and figure it out.

[Comradebot]

I guess my issue is that if I reveal myself...will it matter? I mean, does anyone really NOT believe me when I say I'm a townie warden?

If yes, then I guess I'll claim, but I feel it's info better used for scum in picking their targets then anything that will actually help the town.

Depends. If nothing else, your "crusade" has dominated the discussion in this game to a point that only benefits scum. Saying who you are could help get us past this same arguement and actually speak to people who have been allowed to hang in the background thanks to the massive distraction this whole thing has been.

[mjdgoldeneye]

I completely don't see how a team of 3 wardens would fit.

Claiming would help me, and if it doesn't make a difference to you, have at it.

I've been very explicit in not revealing this information as it will cause harm to me and others. That is all I have to say.

Unless you're guaranteeing me that me "telling all" will get Self lynched, I'm not claiming.

As I posted earlier, if Self IS lynched and comes up town I'll post full details so you can pick 'em apart and figure out what went wrong.

[Comradebot]

Here's an idea if the Self wagon is getting stale: Trypio?

Aye, Trypio comes to mind...

As does the guy who post right below you, and so does Prophet, and a couple of others.

Indeed some of the better players have just sat back and done, well... nothing, as far as we know. Of course, I've also been quieter this game than I usually am.

Wouldn't it be better to do that beforehand? Why figure out what WENT wrong instead of what COULD go wrong?

I'll laugh, and die a bit inside, if the both of ya turn up townie.

[Mr T Jobs To Me]

Vote: Self

His alleged target on Night 1. Are you voting because it helps clear you, or do you have a reason to think you weren't blocked?

[Self]

I'm 87% sure I know what MNN's role is, and if I'm right, it is one that you get PM's from. That's why I chose him.

[praguepride]

Now this is interesting. Not only would it resolve the inner conflict I'm feeling but it addresses one I hadn't given proper consideration.

Depending on your answer, maybe I wouldn't need to hear from Nick after all.

"Prague, if Self and the better half of my dilemma are to be believed, whither your motives?"

I am town and I see clear scum. For some reason very few others seem to see it with the conviction that I do and that bothers me to no small degree. You guys resorted to lynching an AFK player when I brought up serious points that were never fully rebuted. Nobody has cleared Self. No info has presented itself to absolve him of all his scummy D1 posts.

I beleive this so strongly that I am not joking about quitting if this doesn't get through because I feel I can't play with people who would let such a scummy player just pass on by because they "need more info" and then turn around and lynch an AFK player.


"And for that matter, if you both are to be believed on the Warden thing, whither 019's?"

I have no idea what this means, but considering I dont' know which write up I'm in, I have no clue. If you can consider Mellissa a "child" then she sounds innocent. If I'm part of the group being attacked by "something worse" then I have no clue whether it was my target that was "something worse" of if "something worse" appeared and blocked me or if "something worse" was something I blocked, but it doesn't sound like it.

Anyway, if you're looking for PM results, as I posted earlier I have not recevied any reseult PMs.

As for why, look at my earlier post.

[praguepride]

I'm 87% sure I know what MNN's role is, and if I'm right, it is one that you get PM's from. That's why I chose him.

See, what you so expertly keep trying to avoid is the issue that this doesn't really prove anything beyond your power.

You could easily be a scum roleblocker (or even scum warden) and it'll end up the same result.

You could have scum JOAT powers, you could have recruited him and of course he'll lie through his teeth to protect the cult leader :D


I beleive my logic is sound that lynching Self is the best course of action on all fronts. If he turns up scum, yay. If he doesn't, we can look back at the voting and posting habits of some of these suspciious characters (/nod @ tyrpio.)

LIke I said. There's really two outcomes, both fairly positive.

1) Self vs. PP debate is over, and he comes up scum: This will let us know what grouping and color scum are. Might reveal a second scum group. Might reveal a cult and then his proclaimed targets would have to be investigated, especially MNN who he's hanging a lot of faith on to clear his name.

2) Self vs PP debate is over, he comes up town. Now we can look back and see who "knew" this would happen, but progressed anyway.We can definitely use these patterns against scum in the future. Plus it reveals a lot about the game layout about whether obscure characters are in, whether roles are overloaded etc. etc.


Frankely though, I really can't see 4 wardens in the game. If this is the ONLY thing holding back the bandwagon, the question of "how can there be 4 wardens?" then I'll spill beans.

If 5 people bold their "I want PP to reveal his info" then I'll spill it. But remember, I believe 100% that this info will be more helpful to scum then town.

[Antithesis]

I've been very explicit in not revealing this information as it will cause harm to me and others. That is all I have to say.

As I posted earlier, if Self IS lynched and comes up town I'll post full details so you can pick 'em apart and figure out what went wrong.

Not asking for a claim per se, just saying its going to take more than your word to get this done. And frankly i agree this feud between you and Self has become counter productive. Its like VG Mafia where I became totall obsessed with the idea that Clarity was scum faking a townie investigator claim, to the point it helped to destroy my scum group and the town, allowing Derek B's group to attain the only perfect scum victory to date. Thats a consequence of having tunnelvision in these games.

Its come down tio Self trying to prove himself town and you trying to prove him scum, but so far there's only conjecture to choose from, and conjecture alone won't convince enough people in either direction.

[praguepride]

Its come down tio Self trying to prove himself town and you trying to prove him scum, but so far there's only conjecture to choose from, and conjecture alone won't convince enough people in either direction.

It's not just conjecture though. Look back at the end of D1. The bandwagon was rolling full steam, we just ran out of time.

And I lost count of the number of "Self look scummy..." posts.

Would people hop back on the bandwagon if I reposted how in D1 you said "yeah, he's scummy" I almost feel like that would be more effective then me claiming.

I think what he's asking is, if you are a warden, and you targetted Zero on n1 as Self did, if you didn't get any info from your blocking of Zero,why continue to assume the worst about Self?

If you didn't get notifi8cation, and Self says he didn't, for blocking teh same target, doesn't that confirm Self's story in some small way?

[cappyboy]

I'm willing to put my crusade on hold if it will be for the greater good (I just watched Hot Fuzz again, cue the monotonous mantra "for the greater good")

Anyway. I'll put my crusade on hold, but don't expect it to be for longer then another day phase. I'm willing to give a day for people to talk and assimilate info, but if people start a bandwagon up and it isn't against Self and it doesn't have something concrete like "XYZ turned up non-town" then you can expect me to bitch and moan and fling poo around my monkey cage.

Fair enough. I have no problem with that. I desire the good of Angel Grove as much as you do after all.


From my perspective, I've got scum dead to rights, so unless someone can pull some really clinching info out of thin air, Self will always be on my "most dangerous to town" list, and thus, when the question eventually comes up "who should we lynch" will say Self loud and proud.

Finally, I don't want the self wagon to be on hold for too long because I REALLY don't want another friggin no-lynch. The problem with lynching AFK's is that it doesn't provide much info.

Also fair. My problem with you and the whole Self campaign. Well, before the current dilemma I'm in arose anyway. Is that it reminds me of myself in the DOTT game.

Antithesis had claimed as Jesse The Body Ventura as was claiming a politician role. Something I was thoroughly convinced was a ruse. As thoroughly as you are convinced Self is scum now. It had just felt too convenient. I thought Anti was using facts we'd remember from after the time period of the game as a shield.

My assumption was that yes, he was Ventura. But because of the way the opening writeup was handled, that he was the Mafia hitman. I was drawing on Ventura's history of having been a Navy SEAL before entering wrestling and pairing that with the method of execution of the starter characters. Problem was I was so blinded by that pet theory, I overlooked how directly in that time frame, Ventura has also black sheeped himself within the industry by trying to unionize the locker room. A task which would make the political role believeable.

I'm willing to consider the possibility you're right. But I don't want to be lead astray following someone who may only be seeing half the picture like I was in DOTT.

From my perspective, lynching Self will reveal a wealth of information, even if he IS townie. For example:

1) That obscure roles ARE in. Him coming up town would help validate Zero19 to a minor degree..

Which seems to have been pretty well covered from the UFC-King lynch. I think we've all pretty well given up the notion that someone like Connor or Trent could be in the game since he came up as Marge.


2) That there are a crapload of wardens in this game, and thus typical role balance is thrown out the window. This will allow scum a bit more leeway, but will also help prevent mislynches on the fact that there "too many X"

This sounds like the best argument for a Self lynch I've heard you make. Not that it's enough to sell me. But I could live with it if necessary.

3) He was telling the truth about who he targetted. I'm not convinced but I can't say why for fear of modkill.

If he's teliing the truth, I would hate to think it would take lynching him to determine this. He could be a very useful insurance policy against having other wardens night-killed if he's to be believed. But you're probably right here as far as it goes.

[ShadowedFlames]

@ Anti: I think I know what/who prague's hinting at being, based off his comment. Right now I'm willing to go with him on this one, and I'm gonna be real FOS-like on him if this fails. So for now, a preliminary Vote: Self works for me.

Thank you. Like I said, if Self comes up townie my first post will be role claiming and as best a paraphrase of my abilities as I possibly can.

I will reveal how I know my information, the extent of my abilities, everything if he turns up town.

@Cappyboy: How sure would you have felt if you were a politician as well? And you knew of 3 other politicians in the game? How outrageous would it be that he ened up telling the truth all along. I have my concerns, of course, but now I'm championing under the "counter role-claim" flag. I wish I was the prinicipal so I could really nail him, but the best I can say that given the extraordinary number of wardens in the game, and considering I know 3/4 are town, that 4th one is very suspect to me.

[Midnightnick]

Last night I chose to roleblock MidnightNick. Sorry if you had things you needed to do, but I needed to block someone with a Night action, and as out-of-character as it is, I trust you. Did you get a PM?

I did not. My actions would be shown in the writeup, as I explained Day 2. So I imagine any roleblocks would also be shown in the writeup with me.

Now that I look back at it, THIS could potentially be me protecting Zero19. I don't know, as the punching bag fits but the Power Ranger thing doesn't.

How old was Melissa? Could she be classified as a child? Anyway, if this IS me, then Self didn't target Zero19 like he said he would.

It's not involving 019 at all Prague.

I'm going to go ahead and say that unless MNN has a very specific role, he's probably not going to get a PM about being blocked.

Given the lack of info in the write ups, I have a feeling that Arrows won't reveal info unless he absolutely HAS to. So a roleblock or a protection doesn't really NEED info whether it worked or not, it's one way.

Watchers/Trackers/Investigators need feedback because it is inherent to their ability, but the rest of us just have to wait and see. Heck, even kills don't need specific PM feedback because you just have to look at the write ups and figure it out.

I don't get PMs as I said.

I'm 87% sure I know what MNN's role is, and if I'm right, it is one that you get PM's from. That's why I chose him.

Sorry Self, I don't get PMs. I do believe you though.

Here's the problem with that though. I'm on the outside looking in here. I have no comfort level with who or what you are. But you know what? I'll play along with you.

Had I been a politician as well in DOTT and I'd known of others when Anti made that claim, I'll grant you I'd have been skeptical. But since we're hyptothetizing alternate reality anyway, it's also reasonable to hypothetize in that scenario I might have remembered Ventura's unionization attempt. And if I'd remembered that about Jesse, skeptical as I might have been, I'd have in no way been comfortable about what he might be. Assuming I made the same assumptions the same way? Maybe I hear you. But either way that's a lot of hypothetical and it doesn't bolster your case any.

I did not. My actions would be shown in the writeup, as I explained Day 2. So I imagine any roleblocks would also be shown in the writeup with me.



It's not involving 019 at all Prague.



I don't get PMs as I said.



Sorry Self, I don't get PMs. I do believe you though.


NNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!

Lol. I think the message here is that we'll have to rely on our own intuition and not just wait for the mods to reveal everything about everyone.

They're not going to tell us who's who in the write ups. They're not going to tell us what happens to us. They're going to reveal at most genders and that's about it. We're going to have to scumhunt the old fashioned way: intelligent logical reasoning.

May god help us all :D

@ Anti: I think I know what/who prague's hinting at being, based off his comment. Right now I'm willing to go with him on this one, and I'm gonna be real FOS-like on him if this fails. So for now, a preliminary Vote: Self works for me.

Well, if you know the show and find what he says has merit then thats good enough for me.

That said though I am gonna wait on MNN before I cast a vote

[Antithesis]

And it looks like I missed MNN's post.

Ok well... obviously its still too early for a lynch here. Maybe someone has more info and they haven't logged on yet.

This whole strict Mod PM thing is also reminding me of SIN. Tell me Arrows, you happen to follow that game at all? :D

I actually think that was the game I was on my cruise during. If so, nope, didn't follow that one.

[Antithesis]

Dang. Ah well then, you missed a good one. Game came down to one vote in the end.

[Zero9teen]

Hmmm, do I have to phrase it yes/no then? Were you blocked Night 1>

*shakes head*

And what a vote that was.

Hey, would anyone like to help me out here. In a Power Rangers game, what would be the reason behind not being able to "get" to someone you targeted? Unless this is the wording Arrows is using for being roleblocked. And if that is the case, I am changing my question to who the hell roleblocked me. ;)

Anyone?

[Antithesis]

Anyone?

I'd say roleblocking is an option, considering how many people have claimed an ability to lock people out.

could be a number of reasons number 1 that springd to mind is a roleblock, the other is the person is simply untargettable for a reason such as a hider
