Btw my apologies to Rowain for not picking up on the coughing hint from the night post. That was indeed a pretty good hunch for using your ability.
With two dead space pilots and two somewhat plausibly innocent ones, that leaves the following 7 suspects (current post counts in parenthesis, review of all posts made in spoiler tags):
Sorry guys, meant to check the RB forums yesterday, but was having a crappy day/week and just fell asleep. Also I believe I was the one player without an email address, thought I turned that visible.
10 Pages from 10 posters in 1 day, not too bad. I haven't read them all, but to keep Catwalk frantic.

Whew that was close....
I almost made a post about putting Winston Hughes at 5 votes to up the drama...
But I decided that wouldn't be cool as this is Winston Hughes first game and I wouldn't want him to get lynched day 1 of a new game
Good thing I stopped and avoided the cross post with Sareln.

Cross-post with Serdoa.

What's the point of having 5 votes on someone if they aren't given a chance to talk?
Or are we automatically gonna pull the trigger on all the people we push to the cusp?
---
Well I almost posted his name, and you're right we need to be careful.
But Serdoa's post read as him intentionally pulling the trigger.
---
Winston got lynched cause he role-played, we all know it's taboo.
I bet the other half of that vigilante combo is feeling really sad right now.

Well Injera's power seems like reverse seering.
"Hey I'm not SCUM cause I was singing to you all night". But required too many variables to overcome.
Wonder how many 0.5 vigilantes we have. I didn't notice a reason to attack Novice yesterday, unless it was a bit of backlash for the tongue lashing. However, if the SCUM can do 1.5 kills a night this will be a quick game.
However, I'm not entirely on board someone using their day power to circumvent the voting process. A little too much power in the hands of one person.

Does that mean there's room at the bar for me?
Hi Erebus! How's it going?

We've gotta kill someone to get this moving, but no-one is sticking out to me. I know I'm innocent so worse comes to worse I know I can defend on Day 2 if Winston Hughes isn't SCUM.

That worked out poorly. I put him to five, and serdoa came in with the 6th inside of a minute of my post. I assume this means a cross-post, or it's really questionable. Regardless, with a setup like this you need to be using the preview post button to see if anyone has posted a vote in the interim.

I read it initially as Serdoa trying to get Winston over the hump by putting him to 5 and calling for an end to the day with someone to join him on it.
But yes, rereading it, it does look like a deliberate push to end the day.
That move makes no sense to me Serdoa. Why not wait for Winston to make a defense? Why kill him immediately? What's an hour or two either way?
Sareln was also not very active last game, where he turned out to be innocent. I don't think he'd sign up for another game right away if his activity was still low, so I'm inclined to think his silence is indicative of lazy scum behaviour. Erebus also stands out as slightly less active, the rest are pretty consistent.
I don't have time to finish the post collections now, will do it later. Reading them through I find it curious that Erebus makes really short posts, comes off as a newbie wolf not knowing how to play.
When I read the description of Novice's wound, I originally thought he had been poisoned or infected by someone. What he posted about his ability makes sense. Could still be a scum power of course, but choosing to use it on night 1 when not under suspicion seems consistent with village being worried about the first scum kill.
Catwalk Wrote:novice, did you know that you'd get a wound from using your ability?
Yes, I knew.
Catwalk Wrote:Is it one-shot, or can you use it again now that you're healed? You should probably say you can use it again whether it's true or not, no sense in helping the scum :neenernee
Then why do you ask?
I'd like an alternative to lynching Sareln, and I get a feeling we might need it fast...
a) I wasn't even aware the thread was open until 10 pages in, apparently my email wasn't active on here, and Zakalwe tried to contact me via totalwar.org and Mardoc via the Kerberos Forums (both of which I was in active games.
b) I started playing at the end of my busy days (Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday).
c) Being caught in the "All the Europeans post while I'm asleep, I make a reply post and have to wait till you guys all get up before any discussion begins."
Novices claim makes sense, but doesn't make him innocent yet. Consistency is good however.
I do support Rowain healing him 100%, as I stated in my post, the fact that day time vig powers END THE DAY without a lynch is just bad village play unless you are certain of someones guilt.
I don't want to know if Rowain can use his power again. I think that's just equivalent to a baner claim. If the SCUM have wounding powers I want them to think twice about using them.
If Rowain's power is a one-shot and he gets killed, at least he used his useful power in a rather legitimate way. If it's a multiple use ability then I want to find out at the same time the SCUM do when he uses it again to heal someone else that's wounded. As I said, I support 100% the heal of ANY wound.

I don't think you're thinking about this as thoroughly as you should, and gathering information about powers (Espeically healing and defensive powers) seems something that more important to SCUM then to villagers.
Catwalk Wrote:Btw my apologies to Rowain for not picking up on the coughing hint from the night post. That was indeed a pretty good hunch for using your ability.
What are you talking about catwalk? What coughing hint from the night post?
@novice Why have you used your ability on N1 already? Did you really fear you'd get killed already now?
@erebus
Besides your "not acting in this thread much because of whatever" you are jumping pretty quickly on here as soon as someone suspects you. And you start to suspect him right away as well ...
Apart from that, some questions:
1.) Why is it bad village play in your opinion to use your special power, even if it ends the day?
2.)
Quote:If the SCUM have wounding powers I want them to think twice about using them.
What do you mean with that? Why should they not use powers which wound someone? Only because someone might be able to heal them? That doesn't make sense.
3.)
Quote:I don't think you're thinking about this as thoroughly as you should, and gathering information about powers (Espeically healing and defensive powers) seems something that more important to SCUM then to villagers.
I can't agree with that. That sounds awfully like "I want a reason to vote for you" and not really a reason to suspect him. Every game he was talking about power-roles, it's what he is doing anyway. No reason to suspect he is a villager for that, but also no reason to suspect that he is a scum.
