We'd all benefit from a explanation of what exactly (Casilu thinks) happened, I think. :/

Nope. In fact, I'm so unscummy it's unfunny.

^--- completely unproductive lurker alert!

I can't remember her saying that, but generally if you do fail you get a message of some sort (of course, generally if you succeed you get a message of some sort too).

And, other stuff:

Kiradawea, is being a reporter actually part of your role or just something you decided to do?

People, please don't fake powers. Even when you think it's a clear joke, it just annoys everyone else.

In a similar vein to the above: Casilu, wtf? Explain.

I don't think responses to "Are you scum?" are really going to be useful in a forum-based mafia game. Maybe moreso in IRC, but here, people have time to respond. This may lead to people making jokes with what they think to be an obvious answer, however, which leads me to my next point. And no, I am not scum.

Please do NOT lie or joke about a serious matter, question, or answer. It really doesn't help trying to find scum. Even in a game like this (where random chaos and amusement seem to be rife), a certain amount of serious discussion has to take place.

And has everyone posted since new day? I don't think they have, but I don't have the energy to go through and check.

And I'll give Arix the benefit of the doubt for now. Trying to be a better player is always good, so long as he actually manages it. If not, it's just suspicious (acting differently with an explanation so he can cover up a few other quirks).

Oh wow, I got ninja'd by like four people. Erm.

Reiha, try to be more productive? And that does not include calling me a fatty, IG or OOC. Just because you aren't getting any vibes and don't want to vote doesn't mean you can't comment.

Bolded for emphasis on why I'm not adding anything. Unless it's something people are missing or hasn't been mentioned, I don't feel the need to post my critical analysis.

Plus, I felt inclined to give Balizar a response to his comment.

@Bali No I am not scum.

I find Kiradawea's post unconvincing and am getting scum vibes from her. First, she still refuses to say why she put in bolded text 'POINTS THE MICROPHONE AT ' in one of her posts. I find her refusal to answer why bolded that text scummy. She has been avoiding answering the question, apparently hoping the question would die on the vine if just ignored, and when I didn't let it die and she finally acknowledged that she has been asked, she still refuses to answer and attempts to just deflect. I havne't been "too eager" to find out if she has a power. Rather, I have been asking her to explain why she made a statement the way she did and whether it ws a power, and I have refused to let it fly under the radar. Not the same thing. Second, her own buddy Solanis said that she was lying about being a reporter and yet she still calls herself one.

The wrinkle of Casi saying she targeted Kira, and Kira not confirming it is bothersome, but if Kira is scum like I suspect, I could see her lying about it having an impact.

So, I'm going with my gut and VOTE: KIRADAWEA, although I do want to hear more from Casilu too.

And, yes, I agree with whoever said it earier: Do not fake powers in your posts!

11 to lynch.

Trolling Reiha is the only was to get her to post. She has been pretty useless upto this point.

Interesting Esano felt the need to respond to a question that was not directed at him. In his posts he goes on to claim he isnt scum, and that mafia should always be discussed in a lofty, serious manner, as if he was somehow knowledgeable about what good scumhunting is.

Solanis + Kiradawea scum team is possible, but I find that unlikely because of the reporting. She made a comment about my role only a cop or someone with inside information could know. I say we ignore them for now. Cop, investigator, tracker, whatever - check them out during the night. Also check out Kira's latest post. Its in a completely different writing style than every other post she made. What could be going on there?

MAY 9TH WAS MY BIRFDAY, I NEEDED A DAY OFF...

How to explain this... I have the most vague night actions of all time which is what led me to the Shamarah is ing with me theory. I only get a night action if I do the big, bold text thing and each time it is one-shot. Last night, it was force a target to reveal themselves and I won't be informed of the results.

And yes, if I post non-sense, people tell me to STFU - i.e. Esano, Shiri.

Uh...assuming that's true, you really shouldn't have said that...in any case, we can save checking them out for now, since they're safely "associated" for later in the game. We could probably use the investigates on the lurkers more.

Also, Casilu aside for now since I mainly want to know wtf she was trying to do so we can check the claim for plausibility (I realise we haven't done this for Solanis and Kiradawea but I think we should save that for later), is it me or has Zynna been jumping on the bandwagons in a really awkward way so far? She also seems more aggro than I remember her being when she was town. I didn't really follow her behaviour in Daganev's game, but I'm not liking it anyway.

Casilu, you didnt need to respond to the people pressuring you about your ability...

Ok...well, I guess she kind of did reveal herself when she turned up (albeit Solanis had already done it), but she also claims she didn't get any such enforcement. So I'm gonna have to ask for the full roleclaim here in as clear terms as you can make it.

Yes she did, since according to Kiradawea it didn't have its stated effect, it's obtrusive, and we have the wrong half of the information we need to determine if she's innocent or not.

Sorry you don't like me, Balizar.

I could hope that you'll change your mind, but that's unlikely. I am town. I'm not scum. There's not that much to it, and if like four people want a roleclaim out of me, I'd be glad to.

I know, but alot of people here get jumpy on a lynch train when someone has a power that they don't understand... I'm like Spiderman, but without Uncle Ben or spider powers.



I'm just a song.

Gotta spell it out for these people.



I think we need to unify, as a team, and get behind a good lynch for good reasons.

You are all forgetting Myrkr tried to ninja lynch somebody last round. This is a better reason than any. Sure the scum pool is brewing with intrigue...Zynna, Solanis, Kiradawea, etc...all have been pretty null upto this point. We cant decide on anyone. You especially, Shiri. You've been all over the place with your votes.

Lynching Myrkr is the best course of action, because we've seen the biggest tell from her.

Um...what? Haven't you already softclaimed? You're not Barack Obama? Offering to claim at one vote?

That isnt scummy at all! Vote for Myrkr.
