You wake up to a pounding headache in a dim-lit room. Glacing around, you see that you are alone in something that looks like a cabin. You look around, only to find out that the door is locked and windows of the room are pitch black. You reach into your pockets, only to find out that you cell phone isn't there where it's supposed to be. Panic hits you, as you realise that you seem to have been robbed of all your personal belongings. You angrily kick the bed and sit down on the bed to contemplate the mess you are in.
That's when you hear it. A screeching sounds reverberates in the room, as if the whole boat (you were in a boat, right?) crashed into something. The screeching sound goes on for who-knows-how-long and then... silence. The eerie silence permeates the cabin you are in... and then you hear it. Water. The sound of a water leaking into your room through the window (it was cracked just a moment ago, you think). You frantically start looking for a way out, rummage the closet, drawers, any place that might contain the key. Luckily for you, you manage to find the key at the bottom of a bath tub, filled with water.
You grab the key without thinking much, ram it into the mechanism and turn it. You hear the clicking sound and open the door, only run away from your cabin and fast. You run along the gloomy corridor, turn right and see stairs. They seem to lead upstairs. You grab the handrail and rush upwards, towards the light. At the end of the stairs, there is another door waiting for you, much sturdier this time. You grab the handle, and luckily for you, it's not locked. You open the door, rush to the room on the other side of the door and slam the door shut. That will hopefully keep the water out... for now. Then, you look at the room you arrived to.
You find yourself in a huge hall, where there are some other people. You count the people: 1, 2, 3... 16. There are 16 people here besides you. Just what kind of mess have you ended up in...?

KoolKoal: Feel free to take this with a grain of salt since self meta isn't particularly helpful, but I think I get scumread mostly for style over substance, but also for a certain lack of substance over style. It's not so much what I AM posting most of the time (though sometimes that can seem bad) but what I'm NOT posting. I've been told I come to non-obvious conclusions a lot, so when I post, quite a bit of the time there's jumps in logic that people can't follow and they think that's scummy. I get that accusation about a lot of questions I ask specifically. People call them "busy work" when the questions are legit etc.
As far as things to ignore, I can't think of anything. I would suggest you focus less on what I'm doing and more on how I'm doing it. That's probably more likely to be accurate. Like I've just said, what I do tends to come off a little weird, but if you look for how I do it, mindset comes into play and maybe you figure out something useful.
Bah Vote TheRealStinkyJoeTerry. Stupid mobile bold tags.
@Llllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllngr: is that for serious? Are you really just going to assume everyone who betrays you has no town reason for doing so?
I'm laughing at D_V's post 11 because the gif looks like Meg infinitely giving his approval.

Well, this hotel bar's hangover whiskey's gone dry.
The barkeeper's wig's crooked and she's giving me the eye.
Well, I might have said yeah
But I laughed so hard I think I died.
Preemptive role fishing. And justifying future votes for poor reasons.
he's probably that guy that tells you not to betray so that he can garner a few extra BP early on, and ya it's a very simplistic way of justifying a vote.
Please don't let this be a dueling meme game. I'll lose my mind.
I will:
Vote: Tomsloger
for being essentially unreadable. One less thing to worry about, etc. etc.
Looking forward to a good game.

Ambush Krotiq makes me laugh so much. I keep rereading the card and it keeps not having Flash. In what sense is this an ambush again? I just have visions of this huge Krotiq poorly concealed in some bushes, feeling slightly sad that his carefully planned ambushes never seem to work.

Meh. Undecided.
In other news, I'd like to propose that no one is allowed to betray except by advance agreement/clearance by the town. Partly because if anyone betrays me, I'm probably insta-dead. Which seems like a thing where if someone would try to do that to me, they shouldn't have an excuse, and I'm likely not the only one. Thoughts?
Also, be sure to volunteer enough role info while discussing the above that the scum can figure out sensitive role info and identify vulnerable targets and town power roles, ktxhbye.
[b]Vote Last Whisper[/b]. Iso, care to confirm? KJ read also?
My role can safely be betrayed a limited number of times without me getting too worried, I'll probably make a list of people I'm okay with betraying me should they get paired against me.
At Az, I will assume that in this game there will be roles like yours that can die to betrayal and there are roles that would also greatly benefit from Betrayals (being on the betraying end I mean). I can imagine it would have been a monumental task to balance this all, but I think it's fair to assume that if you will die to someone betraying you Night 1, it's something you should openly declare right off the bat. After that, you should be safe unless someone is trying to kill you and really wants to get Lynched the next day. No one should die because they get betrayed, there is no excuse for it. I think if anyone is at 1BP they should claim it. The AB list is public, I'm assuming, but should get clarification. Even if it's not public, it probably should be information we openly share.
@MOD: Are the AB matchups publicly displayed?

Proph will be sending the PMs shortly, if you don't get yours, poke him and he'll send it to you!
Currently sending out role PMs, yours should arrive in the next hour or so. I'll edit this post once all role PMs have been sent out.
EDIT: All role PMs have been sent out. The game will start once Bur is awake.
Because if he is scum, he will last forever and win this quirky game.
Btw, if you betray I am going to assume you are scum unless you note the reasons publicly, ahead of time. I will be paying attention.
Club Flamingo Wins: 1!
I'm going to [b] vote therealstinkyjoeterry for his part in fooling me in Low Fantasy.
Club Flamingo Wins: 1!
You got it.
Because you need to produce some higher-quality videos if you're going to use those as part of your posting gimmick.
