Overwatch was quickly formed by the United Nations as an international task force to combat an Omnic(robotic) threat and restore order. Though this program was a success, several allegations of wrongdoing and failures led to public outcry. A UN investigation into the matter was halted when an explosion destroyed Overwatch’s headquarters. As a result, the UN passed the Petras Act to both dismantle Overwatch and forbid them of any Overwatch-type activities. Some years after this Act was passed, without Overwatch present: corporations have started to take over, fighting and terrorism have broken out in parts of the globe, and there are signs of a second Omnic Crisis occurring in Russia. Winston, a former member of Overwatch, has decided to go against the Petras Act and…

Replace:
Roles have been sent out. Once 8 or more players have /confirmed their roles here in the thread, you may begin playing.
Winston has called upon the heros of Overwatch to return once again to the field of battle and return the Earth to a state of peace. All of the interested players gather at Watchpoint: Gibraltar to discuss what must be done. It almost seemed like everything was working itself out but not until the players were not respawning anymore. Panic settled in quickly and the players began to frantically challenge one another to battle (of wits).
NOTE: If anyone is curious about deadlines/prods during the holidays, there will be no deadline while holidays is running rampant and posting habits (at least once every three IRL days) will run a little differently since activity is expected to be weird from everyone until after New Years. Just be sure to let the thread know you will be gone during x days.
I will be making a roadtrip from Dec. 26th - Dec. 28th and will have limited access until the 29th during that timeframe.
Why are you trying to lynch me so early in the game, Rodemy? If I remember correctly you did not try to pelt Tordeck with questions last game, when you were town and voted Tordeck.
Because I want to actually play mafia and have a chance to get better at it.
When were you ever in fear of dying?
From the last games I have played, it feels that my playstyle only leads to me being killed/lynched early. Obviously I don't want to die early this game.
Why do you think a vanilla claim will stop you from dying?
Killing vanilla town is obviously worse than killing town members with abilities. Your suspicions on me is actually better for my plan to survive and prevent maf from nightkilling me. I just have to not get lynched D1.
I'm not gonna lie, I want to town read Vaimes for this post. (And I agree that Oph is probably town)
@Rhand: Why not swap your vote over to Rodemy if you think he's scummy? Extending RVS feels like meh reasoning if you legit think you already pegged someone.
@Rodemy: I'm actually mildly annoyed right now because I realized this is the first time we've played that I have to actually figure out your alignment. So talk to me about your first post to kitty, what was your goal with it?
Why are you trying to lynch me so early in the game, Rodemy? If I remember correctly you did not try to pelt Tordeck with questions last game, when you were town and voted Tordeck.
Feels maf to me.
Um.
I did pelt him with questions.
He was scum.
I cannot see how that has anything to do with me legit questioning you about a p1 claim, reason "so i don't die"

Rollback Post to RevisionRollBack
Thank you for choosing
Rodemy Pizza
It’s not the best choice, but it’s a choice nonetheless
Obviously i want you to understand that your claim is bad and what you did was bad and you should feel bad.
Sure, eco told me that it was a terrible play. And I do feel bad about that post.
And why is this relevant to *this* game?
I thought that different players have a pattern of action and "tells" based on the team they are with. Correct me if I am wrong, but Town!Rodemy sounds different from this one.
Why is me voting tordeck in another game relevant to me voting you this game?
Same as above, you did not actively attack tordeck, but instead went for the defensive when you ask your questions. Here you actively attacked my posts and is more aggressively pressing a lynch. This Rodemy and the Rodemy in the last game have totally different directions of play.
The more i think about it, the more I realize the possibility of you being maf, Rodemy.
Just to make sure that I don't die on the first two days, I am McCree, the vanilla town.

Yeah, /barn samesies here. This pinged me immediately, however, the explanation that he dies early a lot hits close to home for me, and completely explains the action. I think it comes more from a town!Oph perspective than a scum one.
I then didn't like Rodemy not letting off the gas. He since has with a believable reason. So, poop there.
@Ophidia: eating the NK as vanilla is a good thing. That's what vanilla's are for.
@Vaimes: was there sarcasm in your initial reaction to Ophidia?

And thats 8.
Bloody hell, just woke up.
vote seppel
vote: Rodemy
If you want to vote someone not in the game, at least vote Iso for being kind-of here
He confirmed in the past tense. He must have already confirmed somewhere else... in the Mafia QT most probably!
"He voted Seppel guyz! He must be scum!!!"
No.
Did you not want to acknowledge huntzilla's "/coinfarm?"
Seeing as your rvs vote is based off how D_V "confirmed" and didn't "confirm", i'd like to know your thoughts on that.
Man i must be in a mood this morning.
And with much excitement.
Are you scum? Since you are new here i will let you in on the rules:
If i ask you, you have to tell me if you are.
You forgot to add that he should do that in scumchat. Quickly tell him or he'll out your whole team here before you know it!
I like coinfarms.
How you doing Rhand, you seem chipper today
Happy to be in a game again.
You're right about Rodemy. But let's keep RVS going a while longer first. I do like RVS tells.

Aye
@rhand and Atog. Share with the class how it seems scummy.
Just to make sure that I don't die on the first two days, I am McCree, the vanilla town.
What pronouns do you prefer?
I don't want to assume, but with a name like kitty goddess, i would think you were female.
Just want to verify. :>
I'm asking so I know where to place my vote.
unvote vote ophidia
Whelp. Guess rvs is over.
Why are you claiming with no pressure?
When were you ever in fear of dying?
Why do you think a vanilla claim will stop you from dying?
Answer or get lynched.
He died early in Iso's recent game and is probably still salty about it.
Old enough to do whatever i want past bedtime.
How is this relevant to the game?
I mean, same. Do you see salt from me?
Next.
Didn't i read somewhere it was scummy to answer questions direcred at other people?
*looks at janken*
*looks at otg2*
*looks at kirby*
Yeah. No sympathy here.
So you gonna answer my questions?
Why are you trying to lynch me so early in the game, Rodemy? If I remember correctly you did not try to pelt Tordeck with questions last game, when you were town and voted Tordeck.
Feels maf to me.

AINT A D1 WITHOUT A RODEMY ROAST, EH?
the first post to kitty was a joke.
The second was an actual question seeing as rhand called them "he" ademantly, and i just wanted to know.
I feel like ophi could be town, but i wanted to push and see what would happen.
Apparently. Me pushing ophi brought vaimes to his defence.
I also see a coorelation between atog and rhand in thay rhand agreed that my joke with kitty was scummy with nonother explination.
Ya caught up now?
The only questions you asked are towards Shadow and Fuq before you moved on to seppel.
This.
Man, eco is coaching you goooood.
I do recall asking tordeck multiple times why me being 3rd on seps wagon was scummy.
And why is this relvant to *this* game?
You did a ballsy move p1, you think it's NOT gonna get some attention?
Of course i am gonna have some questions.
Why is me voting tordeck in another game relevant to me voting you this game?
Obviously i want you to understand that your claim is bad and what you did was bad and you should feel bad.
That was answering shadows question, dear, not everything is about you ♡

That is not the point, the point is that you dismissed your prior question as a joke.
Why would you joke about asking if someone is scum? Does not seem like a joke to me.
