And now Void is just straight up lying. I said, "Something is very wrong with the early bailers," and Void has re-interpreted to mean "I would be willing to lynch anyone who unvoted Void," which is entirely false.
And he is once again ignoring the case.
He is starting to flail. Which is why he didn't want to respond to your case. Now he is using your being a neutral as a valid reason to not respond.
Please note that Seppel is comparing a Basic game to a Speciality.
He's comparing the sincerity of your responses, your behavoir. Not the game machanics.
Seppel was indeed town in TLA, but never confirmed until he was dead.
Seppel is a claimed Neutral in this game that has not been confirmed and has been rather anti-town since the start of the game.
If this was Town Seppel pushing this case, then the case would have more strength behind it, but since we all know Seppel is not town, then the case is he pushing does not hold nearly as much strength. (IMO, none at all)
Trying to smear your attacker?
Iso:
You may not want to worry about Seppel, but I am.
You just said his case doesn't hold streanth. Plus your not concerned with the votes on you atm.

Players will play differently from Basic games to Specialty Games.
Not smreaing. Point out facts. It would be different IF Seppel was town in this game.
I am concerned about Seppel, because the more he posts the more I don't believe his claim. The more I don't believe the more of a "Wild Card" Seppel becomes. And Seppel with any sort of "Wild Card" is something to be concerned about.
But since that post I have gotten some reassurance that Seppel is nothing to worry about.
Players will play differently from Basic games to Specialty Games.
Why? If anything they will play different with the roles they get.
Not smreaing. Point out facts. It would be different IF Seppel was town in this game.
Shouldn't matter that he's not town. If the case is valid and players agree with it.Then theres merit there.

100% Grade-A bull****.
Void believed I was scum in TLA when he responded to my case on him. The above quote is a direct contradiction to his actions.
I think I just destroyed my sinuses with the cinnamon challenge.
So I'm gonna try my best to be as useful as possible for the rest of the game and attempt to NOT create huge walls of text to illustrate my points.
So, you were creating huge walls about your other votes and defenses? Cause you made big walls with gricky and hardly voted him. Also, vote megs if you want megs lynched, not vote X because X has a wagon going.
Void why did you state the number of anti-town players and not the number of scum, specifically?
Better question, why did you not state 7 or MORE, which could of potentially outted 1 of the neutrals AND told us if there were more that the 2.
We got a number that doesn't confirm anything while the scum presumably just got handed the number of neutrals in the game.
I agree with half of this. The scum still don't know the number of neutrals if there are more than 2.
Can you please double check the statements you plan on blue truthing before you do it? I don't want to tip any more info to the scum.
/barn. We need those statments to give us info, not simply confirm what we already know. I consider your haste to use this ability in response an anti-town action. I consider the ability pro-town, if not a bit underpowered.
How do you think Void's ability makes sense on mafia, unless it's a red herring from the mod? Do you really think the scumteam is that weak?
I don't understand this at all. Why would giving this ability to a Mafiate mean that the Mafia team is extremely weak? Is there some rule about Specialties here that says the Mafia can only have one ability among their roles? (I'm going to assume the answer to that is the extremely obvious NO.) So, why do you say the Mafia team must be weak if they have Void's ability?
In fact, I think it makes perfect sense to be Mafia instead of Town. Mafia can manipulate the questions to make it look like they are trying to help Town while actually gathering info that they really want... which is exactly what Void's statement looks like when you look at it from the perspective of him being Mafia.
I do not see this response coming from someone who is town. Barning a vague assessment and not doing any of your own analysis to stay on a wagon is a rather poor.
Ignoring the fact that I was never ON your wagon (I had only expressed an intent to join once the Mod responded, but hadn't done so yet), I have no problem with barning something I completely agree with.
Also, given how many times "barn" has appeared in this thread already, why single my post out? why let everyone else slide with their barning while calling me out for it? Just because I promised to vote you? Seems pretty weak to me.
Did you miss the part where Iso explains in detail about my ability and the question I asked? Or do you have a different belief other than that?
I can't answer for Seppel, but I think I outlined my belief clearly enough above.
Given the state of the two wagons, I'm not seeing any real possibility of Iso being lynched today, so I'm fine with moving over to Void, who I now believe is Iso's scumbuddy.
I agree with half of this. The scum still don't know the number of neutrals if there are more than 2.
Why does everyone assume that there are exactly 5 players on the Mafia team? I understand that that is the most likely number based on the size of the game, but I don't know why it is the ONLY possible number.
If Void is on a 4 man Mafia team, then his question just confirmed that there are more than just the 4 of them plus our two claimed neutrals that are of an anti-town persuasion.
I have no idea if that is accurate or not, I just don't understand why everyone seems to be blindly accepting that there are exactly 5 Mafia in the game.
If Void is indeed the lynch, I don't think we need an extension on the deadline; any replacements, etc. can catch up during Night. Of course, this presumes that we can find them in a quick manner.
Void's role is very strange and would seem to be obvtown upon cursory examination; there is definitely a similarity to Ged's role in Return to Amistaria. However, his behavior is still very squirrelly.
I think getting the full use out of his questions, then lynching him is the best way to proceed. This way, we eliminate an untrustworthy player as well as verify how truthful his claim and subsequent information were.
Void's role is townlike, but his behaviour's really off. His statement implies that Seppel's case is solid, but unreliable due to the fact that Seppel's a neutral. His refusal to address the case on him.
Wessel's flipflopping is also suspicious. It's like he's just trying to go with whatever everyone else thinks.
Let's see. You unvoted Void "solely based on role", which you argued was due to that role being highly unlikely on scum. Then, three votes on Void later, you revote him "purely based on behaviour", while his behaviour has not changed a whit. Nothing has changed, except those three votes.
I'd really love to hear your explanation for that.
Hi guys, first thing I'm not going to read what happened so far, I just want to sheep someone until there's less players and we can actually play mafia as I dislike D1's and big games.
Questions:
a)There's someone confirmed town or obvtown that I can sheep?
b)Can someone convince me which of the biggest wagons is the better one in a few words?

The game is not being dumbed down. Control is doing fine; Draw-Go is not the only kind of control. Aggro is doing fine; Red Deck Wins is not the only kind of aggro. Creature combat is an important core concept and belongs in every color. Mythic rarity is not destroying the game. People whine too much for no good reason. Magic is more popular than ever, so keep calm, brew some decks and play some damn cards.
Ah, before someone mentions it (Seppel?): yeah, I've said that same line as scum before (Clue) but I'm town here, so deal with it.

OH LOOKIE ANOTHER VOTE FROM ISO WITH ZERO REASONING, THATS CERTAINLY PRO TOWN ISO...
If you were reading my posts, you'd know my reasoning.

So, you were creating huge walls about your other votes and defenses? Cause you made big walls with gricky and hardly voted him. Also, vote megs if you want megs lynched, not vote X because X has a wagon going.
Megiddo, Prophylaxis, Gricky, you, and Wessel are the five I'm most okay with seeing lynched toDay. Proph and Gricky are pretty much off the table, so it's either you, Wessel, or Megs, so I could just as easily hop on the Megiddo wagon if that took off. Unfortunately, I'm not seeing much in the way of pressure on you, so that would have to be reserved for a later Day.
I don't understand this at all. Why would giving this ability to a Mafiate mean that the Mafia team is extremely weak? Is there some rule about Specialties here that says the Mafia can only have one ability among their roles? (I'm going to assume the answer to that is the extremely obvious NO.) So, why do you say the Mafia team must be weak if they have Void's ability?
Did you see where I explained this to Seppel? In a game where there are potentially 2 non-anti-town Neutrals, there is simply not enough power geared towards the mafia if they only have 4 (possibly) useful power roles with this number of players. Have you ever balanced a game setup before? If not, you have no idea what you're talking about.
If Void is on a 4 man Mafia team, then his question just confirmed that there are more than just the 4 of them plus our two claimed neutrals that are of an anti-town persuasion.
How? All we know is that their win conditions differ from the town's. How does that make them anti-town? .-.
This is utter GARBAGE. Firstly, you misquote the mod. Charm says there are AT LEAST seven players with non-town conditions. Secondly, maybe there are 11 scum in this game, or maybe just 1. If there are 11, there can exist any amount of neutrals as well, so no reason to counterclaim. And if there's just 1 scum, there would have to be at least six neutrals, but still, why would neutrals counterclaim kpaca and Seppel? Why would neutrals counterclaim? You're just FISHING, hoping more neutrals will counterclaim based on your awful reasoning. Srs.
What would my motivation be to get more Neutrals to claim?
Quote from Wessel »
Why not, based on that argument? Void says he will use his ability if he is close to being lynched. Why would you actively not want him to use that ability, Iso?
Because as the game progresses, we can yield more information from Void's ability.

Your accusation against me is baseless and lazy. You accuse me of flipflopping, you say I only do it because I'm trying to go with the flow. But why then was I the first to vote for Void after the vote reset? Surely if I was going with the flow, I would do no such thing. And if I was going with the flow, why then did I unvote Void when the wagon against him was reaching a peak?
One, WIFOM. Two, you unvoted right after two other people did. So nice try on that.
There are some things that speak for Void, like his role, but his behaviour speaks against him. I temporarily unvoted him because I was persuaded by the argument that his role was unlikely to be scum. However, in my very next post I revoted him because I was once again persuaded by the behavioural standpoint. It's a case of setup gaming versus behavioural analysis. I'm weighing the different arguments against each other and temporarily came to the conclusion that setup gaming should prevail in this case. However, a lot changed since that moment, not just the votes. Posts happened. Attacking people with baseless, lazy accusations as shown in post 1222 is in my eyes indicative of being scum, and was my main reason to revote him. Behavioural analysis prevailed after post 1222.
Mhm. And it just so happens to be after two people revote him. Forgive me for being highly skeptical. His behaviour was the same both before and after his claim - no defense, baseless and lazy arguments, the works. Yet you stated at that time that his role made him very unlikely to be scum.
This also would have sounded slightly more believable if it had come before you started the mudslinging and WIFOM. Instead, when I expressed suspicion of you, your first response was to go mudslinging, then combine more mudslinging with WIFOM.

Have you ever balanced a game setup before? If not, you have no idea what you're talking about.
Seriously? THAT is the best you've got? A 4 person Mafia is horribly gimped in a game of this power level? So, even if the Mod gave the Mafia A Role Cop, an Assassin with a NK in addition to their inherent NK and a Culting role that converted Townies into Mafiates to go along with this horribly gimped role of Void's, they'd still be so grossly underpowered as to have no chance?
You are trying to play a game of outguess the Mod, and that rarely ends well.
How? All we know is that their win conditions differ from the town's. How does that make them anti-town? .-.
Way to play semantics and try to dodge the point.
The POINT being, an answer like that could tell the Mafia whether or not something like a Cult Leader is possible. If there were 4 Mafia and the 2 claimed Neutrals, then the Mod's response just told them there's someone else out there while the Town still only "knows" that our two claimed Neutrals are likely telling the truth about their alignment, something the Mafia already knew. Confirming that for Town does little, but knowing there's at least one more non-Mafiate out there could be useful for them.
It's all hypothetical on my part. I'm just trying to give reasons why the ability and more specifically the actual statement posted could be Mafia oriented.
Hi guys, first thing I'm not going to read what happened so far, I just want to sheep someone until there's less players and we can actually play mafia as I dislike D1's and big games.
Questions:
a)There's someone confirmed town or obvtown that I can sheep?
b)Can someone convince me which of the biggest wagons is the better one in a few words?
Deaths_Vampire - Has done nothing of significance except argue with Tordeck
GrickyTimmick - Has done nothing of significance except argue with Iso.
Seppel - Neutral survivor that needs to find (target) AI as an additional wincon. Townsiding because scumhunting is more fun than deceiving and a number of players have suggested vigging me if I don't.
Tordeck - Has done nothing of significance except argue with D_V. Tried to "trap" players by intentionally acting scummy, and as we all know, that never works.
Arcadic - Low poster, can't get a good read on. When given a choice between Void(?) and Arcadic to lynch, Iso chose Arcadic.
AsianInvasion - Pretty much obv town due to my role, his eagerness to come out as the person I need to target, and general townie behavior. Has recently been playing follow the leader.
Archmage_Eternal - Low postcount makes him unreadable.
Wessel - Currently suspected of being Void's buddy based on interactions and non-interactions.
Prophylaxis - Low postcount makes him unreadable.
Iso - Acting way too obtuse to be town. Has actively tried to prevent the Void lynch without giving reasons beyond "I think he's town" and modgaming.
Audinho - Suspected of being Void's buddy. Very few original thoughts. Tends to disappear.
Void - Scum. See below.
Arnnaria - Appears to be playing his aloof town game.
Infinis - Low postcount makes him unreadable.
ZajnetDRey - Sketchy voting record.
fluffyn00bganderin_dan - Low postcount makes him unreadable.
Wheat_Grinder - Surprisingly unmemorable.
Megiddo- Iso wants to lynch him. Got an early wagon that went nowhere. Unmemorable.
Ahlyis - Px2 resident who is reading as town due to conflicting customs.
Guardman - Continues to remain unreadable to me.
22. kpaca - Neutral whose winconreads like a balanced cult leader, claimed to be unkillable. Has mysteriously been removed from the playerlist and votecounts. Is also suspended.
@CharmMod: Can we please have some information on what has happened to kpaca and/or his role?
b) Please read this post and the links contained within it in their entirety.
Did you see where I explained this to Seppel? In a game where there are potentially 2 non-anti-town Neutrals, there is simply not enough power geared towards the mafia if they only have 4 (possibly) useful power roles with this number of players. Have you ever balanced a game setup before? If not, you have no idea what you're talking about.
1) What makes you so sure Void is telling the truth about the entirety of his role?
2) This reads more like complaining than explaining.
What is the benefit of knowing whether the scum have daychat? (Compared to some of my questions?)
If the scum do have DayChat, then the players would know to look for what could be planning during the Day and know that the scum team is much more organized in their actions.
The question that I would see fitting from yours to ask is this one:
Is it possible that multiple (or perhaps three or more?) kills occur at night?
But it doesn't teach us anything concrete about alignments. I know we can't ask about alignments directly, but we can try to ask good questions at least.
Also the multiple kill question is possibly the weakest from my list, because we will know what happens come Day 2. And the only thing it does is it might show there are vigs (more likely than a SK, taking into account we already have a claimed survivor). So overall, that would also be a question I wouldn't want to ask.
I prefer the statement about how much non-towns there are on your wagon currently.
So I've taken some time to think about it and I agree that lynching Void is the right play for today. His ability might not be weird on scum, but that doesn't overcome the fact that behaviorally he is hella scummy.
But we should exhaust his truth tells first:
Possible Questions:
1. Are there two or less neutrals in this game? (Only to be asked after we figure out kpaca's disappearance)
@CharmMod: Can we please have some information on what has happened to kpaca and/or his role?
I have no idea what you're talking about.
However, a vote count since you guys are flipping votes faster than one of those automatic pancake makers with the gyroscopic case thingy. You know the thingy I'm talking about.

Hmm... given the fact we can't get a straight answer out of Charm on the kpaca I don't think the neutral question is going to be too useful since we won't know whether or not it takes into consideration kpaca.
The talks have become very heated, the commander noted from above. She had already considered taking another shot to prove her point...but she'd pray that the girls sorted things out. Gods, this was going to be a long affair. The sun was setting too...and despite magic and all its perks, teenage girls often need sleep in order to function rationally. Magic infused speech flooded the air as the woman instinctively covered her eyes before a blinding burst covered the area.
"Is anyone hurt? What happened?" A quick head count...everything seems to be alright. Using such wide area magic in a place like this...the effects could be devastating.
Thankfully, as far as any of you can tell, you can't recall seeing anyone missing. The twenty-one of you continue cussing and discussing, but between hunger and sleep, things will have to stop for tonight sooner rather than later.
A temporary deadline has been set for midnight EDT on July 14th, when Saturday becomes Sunday. This deadline may be extended up to 2 weeks further at my prerogative.
Prophylaxis and Infinis have been prodded.
Effective immediately, DRey is replacing zajnet.
Any other questions should be referred to your regional TSAB Representative.
You mean kpaca having been removed from the game? It could very well be a dayvig or something. Or maybe a temporary removal, like he comes back at the beginning of the next Day?
Dunno for sure, but that bit of flavor doesn't make total sense. It says all "21" of us are present.
We started out the day with 23. Dragonheart was the 23rd. Kpaca must be the 22nd.
Void does get more powerful as the game progresses. I doubt his ability is scum. I just can't see the reasoning a town player (WheatG) would have for a massive jump on to Wessel.
Three things.
Firstly, I have no doubt that there is some truth in your claimed role.
Secondly, there is a typo in your role name.
Thirdly, looking at the role from DragonHeart, and the claimed roles of kpaca and Seppel, I guess that the Magical Girls characters correspond directly to specific mafia roles. Having looked up Umineko no Naku koro Ni and Beatrice on Wikipedia and Wikia, I don't see anything that corresponds to being 'Town Trusthsayer'. Instead there is talk about Beatrice being a Golden Witch assisted by her Demon helpers, and being the main antagonist in the series.
Yea, I'll keep my vote on Void.
But Void, please, use your power. It can only help.
Flavor gaming is okay in my book, however some do not like. Or is it "it's a helpful power but he's still scum"?
There's either more to his role or it is indeed a red herring.
Huge FoS: Iso
I don't even know how you can come to that conclusion after seeing one ability!
Even if you include DH's ability as the two publicly confirmed abilities, I don't see how doubting potential weakness of the scumteam is your conclusion!
Kpaca hands out starfish! I just have to target AI!
I'm trying to figure that out too. Power level of town vs scum is usually balanced. So how did Iso make this leap in logic. So makes me think Wessel is town with scum Iso vote.
Do you believe that I would be able to obtain certain details about the Mafioso through my abililty that would make me a legit target on me from the Mafioso?
How not? The more information in the thread the more questions I would be able to ask.
Why do you believe Wessel is scum?
Seppel:
I could care less about the case you have against me. Your a claimed neutral who could be a Mafioso in hiding. While I do believe your claim for the moment, I do not trust your posts and therefore your case.
Now void islooking townie after all that scummy ignoring of the case.
Please note that Seppel is comparing a Basic game to a Speciality.
Seppel was indeed town in TLA, but never confirmed until he was dead.
Seppel is a claimed Neutral in this game that has not been confirmed and has been rather anti-town since the start of the game.
If this was Town Seppel pushing this case, then the case would have more strength behind it, but since we all know Seppel is not town, then the case is he pushing does not hold nearly as much strength. (IMO, none at all)
One last thing to note. TLA was my first game on this site.
Iso:
You may not want to worry about Seppel, but I am.
So a (mostly) logical case, since created by a neutral, is strength-less?
Iso will have to wait. Unvote. Vote: Void I prefer to let you live but that hand waving sans even a minor rebuttal is too much.
I'm amused that [Shalako], of all people, are talking about terrible reasoning. "Hey, PF's RVS daykill must be serious, therefore I should shoot him to prove that I have a daykill!"
Void does get more powerful as the game progresses. I doubt his ability is scum. I just can't see the reasoning a town player (WheatG) would have for a massive jump on to Wessel.
Flavor gaming is okay in my book, however some do not like. Or is it "it's a helpful power but he's still scum"?
Or is it this
I am so torn about this...I'd like to lynch meg too.
I'm trying to figure that out too. Power level of town vs scum is usually balanced. So how did Iso make this leap in logic. So makes me think Wessel is town with scum Iso vote.
Now void islooking townie after all that scummy ignoring of the case.
Speaking of which

Iso will have to wait. Unvote. Vote: Void I prefer to let you live but that hand waving sans even a minor rebuttal is too much.
Someone unvote to prevent quick hammer. Questions are not asked.
Void's role could easily be scum and I don't see it as Obvtown at all. Firstly, I've seen scum Doc's in a game before and the doc is supposed to be the most obvtown role of all. If a Doc can be scum in a game, there's no reason Void's role couldn't be scum. Second, his ability could be used to generate massive amounts of WIFOM and distractions for the town, and that's assuming he's telling the full truth.
Void's "I didn't respond to the case cause the response makes me look scummy" is terrible. His jump onto Seppel is equally terrible.
I agree with AI, Void asks the questions and then we lynch him. I'm fine with placing my vote, and I believe others have expressed similar intent.
I had a lot of posts to go through, so I'm sure I missed some small stuff here and there. If there's anything someone feels I need to respond to, please bring it to my attention.

Is it possible that someone has an ability that suspends a user account?
saying this right here and now: There is no in-game ability that has anything to do with this. Kpaca was suspended for, as far as I can tell, "pissing off Rianalnn". This is the same reasoning Tordeck suspects xe will soon be suspended.

Void is town. Void need to ask questions. No one who is town should be voting him. Do not fear Void, if you are quickhammered we will have caught scum in our hands. Also do not rush for your questions let's continue discussion about it, everyone post a suggestion for a good question.
my idea: "there's a cult on this game?"
In fact we have already got one.

Arn, please slow down a little. Your trying to ruch this game along without much converstaion about any of the questions that have been presented.
This push from Arn came across as a scum mindset for me.
No Void, I'm trying to prevent you from stalling. I said EVERYONE gets two votes. Do you know how long that will take? We have a deadline to deal with here.
I'm on your side, Void. Show some initiative, please.
He is starting to flail. Which is why he didn't want to respond to your case. Now he is using your being a neutral as a valid reason to not respond.
He's comparing the sincerity of your responses, your behavoir. Not the game machanics.

You just said his case doesn't hold streanth. Plus your not concerned with the votes on you atm.

Not smreaing. Point out facts. It would be different IF Seppel was town in this game.
I am concerned about Seppel, because the more he posts the more I don't believe his claim. The more I don't believe the more of a "Wild Card" Seppel becomes. And Seppel with any sort of "Wild Card" is something to be concerned about.
But since that post I have gotten some reassurance that Seppel is nothing to worry about.
Unvote: Seppel
Vote: Megiddo
Why? If anything they will play different with the roles they get.
Shouldn't matter that he's not town. If the case is valid and players agree with it.Then theres merit there.
What? Wild Card? You don't care about the votes on you but care about one player thats a wild card? Explain.
They hate us cause they ain't us.
100% Grade-A bull****.
Void believed I was scum in TLA when he responded to my case on him. The above quote is a direct contradiction to his actions.

So, you were creating huge walls about your other votes and defenses? Cause you made big walls with gricky and hardly voted him. Also, vote megs if you want megs lynched, not vote X because X has a wagon going.
Better question, why did you not state 7 or MORE, which could of potentially outted 1 of the neutrals AND told us if there were more that the 2.
I agree with half of this. The scum still don't know the number of neutrals if there are more than 2.
/barn. We need those statments to give us info, not simply confirm what we already know. I consider your haste to use this ability in response an anti-town action. I consider the ability pro-town, if not a bit underpowered.
My wife was on MTV with this video.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BUutIZg2EpU
I don't understand this at all. Why would giving this ability to a Mafiate mean that the Mafia team is extremely weak? Is there some rule about Specialties here that says the Mafia can only have one ability among their roles? (I'm going to assume the answer to that is the extremely obvious NO.) So, why do you say the Mafia team must be weak if they have Void's ability?
In fact, I think it makes perfect sense to be Mafia instead of Town. Mafia can manipulate the questions to make it look like they are trying to help Town while actually gathering info that they really want... which is exactly what Void's statement looks like when you look at it from the perspective of him being Mafia.
Ignoring the fact that I was never ON your wagon (I had only expressed an intent to join once the Mod responded, but hadn't done so yet), I have no problem with barning something I completely agree with.
Also, given how many times "barn" has appeared in this thread already, why single my post out? why let everyone else slide with their barning while calling me out for it? Just because I promised to vote you? Seems pretty weak to me.
I can't answer for Seppel, but I think I outlined my belief clearly enough above.
Given the state of the two wagons, I'm not seeing any real possibility of Iso being lynched today, so I'm fine with moving over to Void, who I now believe is Iso's scumbuddy.
Unvote. Vote: Void
Why does everyone assume that there are exactly 5 players on the Mafia team? I understand that that is the most likely number based on the size of the game, but I don't know why it is the ONLY possible number.
If Void is on a 4 man Mafia team, then his question just confirmed that there are more than just the 4 of them plus our two claimed neutrals that are of an anti-town persuasion.
I have no idea if that is accurate or not, I just don't understand why everyone seems to be blindly accepting that there are exactly 5 Mafia in the game.
Void's role is very strange and would seem to be obvtown upon cursory examination; there is definitely a similarity to Ged's role in Return to Amistaria. However, his behavior is still very squirrelly.
I think getting the full use out of his questions, then lynching him is the best way to proceed. This way, we eliminate an untrustworthy player as well as verify how truthful his claim and subsequent information were.
Void's role is townlike, but his behaviour's really off. His statement implies that Seppel's case is solid, but unreliable due to the fact that Seppel's a neutral. His refusal to address the case on him.
Wessel's flipflopping is also suspicious. It's like he's just trying to go with whatever everyone else thinks.
I agree with AI's suggestion.
I'd really love to hear your explanation for that.
The Family
Questions:
a)There's someone confirmed town or obvtown that I can sheep?
b)Can someone convince me which of the biggest wagons is the better one in a few words?
Mythic rarity is not destroying the game. People whine too much for no good reason. Magic is more popular than ever, so keep calm, brew some decks and play some damn cards.
*looks at your sig* That's why I said what I did. Anything further I'd rather see in PMs.
I agree fully with AI's assessment of Void.

If you were reading my posts, you'd know my reasoning.
Megiddo, Prophylaxis, Gricky, you, and Wessel are the five I'm most okay with seeing lynched toDay. Proph and Gricky are pretty much off the table, so it's either you, Wessel, or Megs, so I could just as easily hop on the Megiddo wagon if that took off. Unfortunately, I'm not seeing much in the way of pressure on you, so that would have to be reserved for a later Day.
Did you see where I explained this to Seppel? In a game where there are potentially 2 non-anti-town Neutrals, there is simply not enough power geared towards the mafia if they only have 4 (possibly) useful power roles with this number of players. Have you ever balanced a game setup before? If not, you have no idea what you're talking about.
How? All we know is that their win conditions differ from the town's. How does that make them anti-town? .-.
What would my motivation be to get more Neutrals to claim?
Because as the game progresses, we can yield more information from Void's ability.

Mhm. And it just so happens to be after two people revote him. Forgive me for being highly skeptical. His behaviour was the same both before and after his claim - no defense, baseless and lazy arguments, the works. Yet you stated at that time that his role made him very unlikely to be scum.
This also would have sounded slightly more believable if it had come before you started the mudslinging and WIFOM. Instead, when I expressed suspicion of you, your first response was to go mudslinging, then combine more mudslinging with WIFOM.
The fact that you even feel the need to mention this makes me want to keep my eye on you.
Wait, this doesn't make any sense. I thought it was 12 to lynch.

Seriously? THAT is the best you've got? A 4 person Mafia is horribly gimped in a game of this power level? So, even if the Mod gave the Mafia A Role Cop, an Assassin with a NK in addition to their inherent NK and a Culting role that converted Townies into Mafiates to go along with this horribly gimped role of Void's, they'd still be so grossly underpowered as to have no chance?
You are trying to play a game of outguess the Mod, and that rarely ends well.
Way to play semantics and try to dodge the point.
The POINT being, an answer like that could tell the Mafia whether or not something like a Cult Leader is possible. If there were 4 Mafia and the 2 claimed Neutrals, then the Mod's response just told them there's someone else out there while the Town still only "knows" that our two claimed Neutrals are likely telling the truth about their alignment, something the Mafia already knew. Confirming that for Town does little, but knowing there's at least one more non-Mafiate out there could be useful for them.
It's all hypothetical on my part. I'm just trying to give reasons why the ability and more specifically the actual statement posted could be Mafia oriented.
a) Here's a review:
22. kpaca - Neutral whose winconreads like a balanced cult leader, claimed to be unkillable. Has mysteriously been removed from the playerlist and votecounts. Is also suspended.
@CharmMod: Can we please have some information on what has happened to kpaca and/or his role?
b) Please read this post and the links contained within it in their entirety.
Then vote Void.
1) What makes you so sure Void is telling the truth about the entirety of his role?
2) This reads more like complaining than explaining.
I personally believe that the DayChat questions is one of the more useful ones.
If the scum do have DayChat, then the players would know to look for what could be planning during the Day and know that the scum team is much more organized in their actions.
The question that I would see fitting from yours to ask is this one:
Is it possible that multiple (or perhaps three or more?) kills occur at night?
ModCharm said that question could not be asked.
But we should exhaust his truth tells first:
Possible Questions:
1. Are there two or less neutrals in this game? (Only to be asked after we figure out kpaca's disappearance)
2. Is there a Serial Killer?
If you don't visit St. Elmo's Steakhouse downtown I will hunt you down and END you.
I have no idea what you're talking about.
However, a vote count since you guys are flipping votes faster than one of those automatic pancake makers with the gyroscopic case thingy. You know the thingy I'm talking about.

You guys, read last vote count very carefully.
This is a specialty. Something special happened.
Dunno for sure, but that bit of flavor doesn't make total sense. It says all "21" of us are present.
We started out the day with 23. Dragonheart was the 23rd. Kpaca must be the 22nd.
I believe this is our answer here.
Nope, Shana was Dragonheart.
No infractions.
No infraction-worthy posts.
No outrage.
No contesting.
Is it possible that someone has an ability that suspends a user account?
Flavor gaming is okay in my book, however some do not like. Or is it "it's a helpful power but he's still scum"?
Or is it this
I am so torn about this...I'd like to lynch meg too.
I'm trying to figure that out too. Power level of town vs scum is usually balanced. So how did Iso make this leap in logic. So makes me think Wessel is town with scum Iso vote.
Now void islooking townie after all that scummy ignoring of the case.
Speaking of which
So a (mostly) logical case, since created by a neutral, is strength-less?
Iso will have to wait. Unvote. Vote: Void I prefer to let you live but that hand waving sans even a minor rebuttal is too much.
12-11? I'm losing track
Someone unvote to prevent quick hammer. Questions are not asked.
Never mind, you're at L-2. I still think you need to use your ability because everyone's hellbent on seeing you hang.
Votecount please!
They hate us cause they ain't us.
Wessel's flop is scummy.
Void's role could easily be scum and I don't see it as Obvtown at all. Firstly, I've seen scum Doc's in a game before and the doc is supposed to be the most obvtown role of all. If a Doc can be scum in a game, there's no reason Void's role couldn't be scum. Second, his ability could be used to generate massive amounts of WIFOM and distractions for the town, and that's assuming he's telling the full truth.
Void's "I didn't respond to the case cause the response makes me look scummy" is terrible. His jump onto Seppel is equally terrible.
I agree with AI, Void asks the questions and then we lynch him. I'm fine with placing my vote, and I believe others have expressed similar intent.
I had a lot of posts to go through, so I'm sure I missed some small stuff here and there. If there's anything someone feels I need to respond to, please bring it to my attention.
saying this right here and now: There is no in-game ability that has anything to do with this. Kpaca was suspended for, as far as I can tell, "pissing off Rianalnn". This is the same reasoning Tordeck suspects xe will soon be suspended.
*sigh* the things I do for you people...

We still have time to determine which questions should be asked.
PLEASE PAY ATTENTION TO THE THREAD (This is for me as well)
Everyone gets two votes.
my idea: "there's a cult on this game?"
In fact we have already got one.
This is a scum post. unvote, vote Infinis.
Mythic rarity is not destroying the game. People whine too much for no good reason. Magic is more popular than ever, so keep calm, brew some decks and play some damn cards.
Arn, please slow down a little. Your trying to ruch this game along without much converstaion about any of the questions that have been presented.
This push from Arn came across as a scum mindset for me.
No Void, I'm trying to prevent you from stalling. I said EVERYONE gets two votes. Do you know how long that will take? We have a deadline to deal with here.
I'm on your side, Void. Show some initiative, please.
Questions approved by ModCharm thus far:
Are there two or less neutrals in this game?
Is there a Serial Killer?
Is it possible that multiple (or perhaps three or more?) kills occur at night?
Are there multiple scum factions?
Do the Mafioso have DayChat?
