Figured it be obvious by now, my trigger involves them. Not gonna say exactly how, but it involves them.
Also, as far as activating triggers, I feel it is two fold. On the one hand, town should want to wake up any abilities ASAP, since as it is we have to assume this is a mountainous situation ATM. Any edge town can get is helpful. Not only that, we have to assume that we lose our starting ability as soon as we recall our real ability. On the bad side though, we could accidentally awaken scum, which would be obviously bad.
@mandershex: Assuming the worse case scenario here on everyone having a handicap. I think we need to play it better safe than sorry in this case.
Yeah, I just wanted to see what you had to say about it. But being that we don't know if you're scum or not, I don't think it's the best of ideas to intentionally activate anyone's amnesia condition yet. The other thing I'm worried about is, if we do indeed lose our abilities once our memory trigger is activated, how do we know our new ability isn't going to be detrimental to the town? That's why I'm currently against your idea of a moniker claim. Maybe later on if we feel it could net an advantage against the scum, IF you've been cleared by then. Otherwise, I'm not going to advocate blindly activating something that could kill us townies off, whether intentional or accidental.
Unvote because it has occurred to me that we could possibly activate someone's ability by giving them a certain number of votes. Jeebus, there's a lot to consider this game. :/
Tamarin, why are you so eager to get us to post our monikers?
I'm not willing to put forth what my handicap is yet. There's plenty of time for that later, and I feel like it's just going to get taken advantage of.
On that note, vote kill-joy for, well, killing my joy.
Yet to make lists:
indomitablebug
Ambassador Laquatus
Iso
Sepiriel (r. LuckNorris)
The Ice King (r. Zebi)
From towniest to scummiest-
Iso- Town (Me)
Ormagoden- Town (Good vibe, townie posts, attempted scumhunting, tries to be very useful to town)
indomitablebug- Town (Just about no scum tells if any IMO, scumhunting, useful when posts)
Ambassador Laquatus- Town (Scumhunting, prowler, posts valuable content, able to spot inconsistencies in arguments from a mile away; I'm curious to see your scumlist.)
pinkfloyd- Town (Good vibe, not very active, but seems to have a very go-town way of posting this game)
Nikomaru- Probable town (Not active enough to definitively lop into one category or the other, but based on what I know of Nikomaru, he would probably be more active if he were scum)
Artifice 101- Possible town (IGMEOY still; keep posting and if you continue as you do, you'll probably become more townie on this list.)
MandersHex- Neutral (Can't get a decent read on you. Maybe after Night 1, I'll have more insight.)
Yanni- Possible scum (Comes into the game, starts a huge ruckus that distracts us from finding scum, starts the tiff with Manders, and sends deflections everywhere from general disruptiveness and somewhat baseless accusations)
Prplcheez- Possible scum (Even in long posts, no real content contributed, does not scumhunt, and while he says that's how he plays, that doesn't particularly help the rest of the town; very lurky)
The Ice King- Probable scum (based on Zebi, who never stuck to one definite answer, was always flip-flopping even on the soft claim, accused 2 people I have as town in my mind of being scum, and never posted any useful content while jumping on an opportunistic bandwagon)
Sepiriel- Scum (Poor defense of painting Ormagoden as scum, refrained from answering direct questions until called on it several times, does not seem to have any idea of who might be scum, has put off making a town/scum list several times despite requests, LuckNorris's previous behavior, and overall lack of usefulness to town in addition to only seeming to post defensively)
Leaning town: Artifice 101, Ormagoden
Neutral: Ambassador Laquatus, indomitablebug, Iso, Nikomaru, pinkfloyd, Sepiriel, The Ice King
Leaning scum: Yanni, MandersHex
Neutral are people I haven't seen enough from to have a solid read. No town/scum list because I can't possibly be sure that someone is town or scum.
Sorry, but how am I just neutral and not one or the other? I've posted 68 times in this thread, I'm one of the most active posters. How have you not seen enough content from me to decide whether or not I'm scummy or not?
I want more content. I can't play a game of Mafia if only half the players are playing. That's horrible Mafia etiquette. I'm going to be disappointed if this game doesn't pick up soon. How else are we supposed to determine who is scum?
To be honest, I guess the only thing I want to read more closely into are Arty and Manders's posts. So for the most part, my list stands the way it is, with Sepiriel leaning scum.
Also: unvote; Vote Sepiriel: Can anyone tell me why?
Because of what you said in response to Ormagoden and Yanni, as well as the fact that Seperiel neglected to address my question to him that I've stated several times, would be my guess. He does seem to be trying to stay out of sight. If I'm not too tired later and have time, I'm going to completely re-analyze everything that's gone on and re-do my possible scum list.
In the meantime, unvote
Yanni, please, if you are town, don't be so distracting. Actually try to contribute something to what we're doing other than "MANDERS IS AGGRESSIVE AND THAT'S A SCUM TELL". Please.

You will not obtain my cookies. I will fight you to the death for them. >:(

No. I need those lists.
You'll understand once they're up there and I get the chance to post regarding them.
"Dear" is essentially "dude" to females for me. ;p
Wasn't ignoring you, dear. I was making my list.

This is gonna be a fun game.
