None Shall Pass [Game Thread - Concluded]

[spaceman98]

You're really freaking out, man. I wonder how you'd've freaked out if I'd voted you.

It's not a 'ploy', you numbknuts. I'm not gonna vote for myself and I trusted you enough to scan topsecret, whose claim, surprisingly, actually checks out. Ish, after Buddhafish prodding him on the issue of Roger. So, yes, I should actually be voting for you instead of your confirmed cultist with the convenient voting patterns.

As of now
1: Lynching Sirtommy without SW's support would be hard, though theoretically possible
2: The LOTR cult is a much bigger threat to us than SirVader is, since the LOTR cult can kill and convert, and is much larger than the remnant of the SW cult. That doesn't mean that the remaining SW cultists shouldn't hang, but we really need to stop LOTR cult from spreading right now, and your vote change looks to me like a ploy to distract the town from this. On the other hand, your credibility is increased by not making a "save yourself" vote.

Especially one that was referred to as being linked to Sauron in the very first update?

Any dialogue or actions in the updates are just flavor with no bearing on the game.

 

[Buddhafish]

Spaceman, stop trying to counter-wagon.

None of them have worked, and none will.

I am ok with that. When I die and flip town, you guys will have stuff do go on and I might yet benefit my post-mortem victory. I'm still confused as to what part of my defense so far has been unconvincing for you, but right now, I am trying to contribute stuff so that it might be useful after my death.

Also, once again, if I were scum, why would I spontaneously claim an ability to someone, when I am under very little pressure to do so?

 

[topsecret]

If you had the Balrog? Shouldn't that be: If I was the Balrog?

PIS maybe?

...wha-? I thought I was talking about an ability, an ability which releases the Balrog. Thus, you have the ability, you are not an ability, you have it.

There's no PIS in something I didn't have.

Why would you have admitted to having an anti-town ability?

No.
The point is I would've claimed some ability, instead of claiming none. Claiming no ability is really... stupid unless you have no ability, or you are just like, a brave cultist/mafia guy who wants to see if he can get by with it. If I was cult, I would've claimed some mundane ability.

And if I had/have/was/whatchawhosit the Balrog, I would've claimed Durin or something.

You would then have been asked to demonstrate your ability, which you would not have been able to do.

 

[spaceman98]

If you claim "no ability" you are safe from having to make up "proof" of your claimed ability.

(sorry about the double post)

 

[topsecret]

Which is why I wouldn't claim no ability if I had one. I would think of something.

 

[Arakhor]

Does anyone know what the tally is right now?

 

[spaceman98]

Then people would look at your thing and find inconsistencies in your story. People would demand that you use the ability in a testable way, and people would note that "your ability can easily be faked" (the entire substance of the case against me, from what I can gather). Claiming "no ability" means you are safe from all of this pressure.

 

[Zack]

Does anyone know what the tally is right now?

Same as the last, but with a vote apiece for sirtommygunn and topsecret.

 

[Arakhor]

Fair enough. I'm surprised more people aren't voting for Spaceman, given the nailbitingly close lynch we had last time.

I'm still not sure what part of the case against me I have yet to address, but meh. I am willing to face death, especially since I don't have time to carry forward a high level of activity in this game anyways

 

[Buddhafish]

After some thought, I do applaud the effort spaceman.

If you are somehow town, we'll have some stuff to look at. If not, at least your death was interesting.

 

[Frozen In Ice]

Spaceman's ability claim yesterday doesn't make any sense if he were cult, the mixup over who was the injured on an update seems to me like a complete townie move. I guess we'll see if that's true soon though.

 

[Zack]

"Okay, so according to this piece of paper, we should kill spaceman98 today."

"Let me see that."

Spoiler :

"Uh..."

"Hey, that was private! I don't go around looking at all of your... your..."

"...My tallies? The ones everyone looks at?"

"Well... you're ugly."

"Anyways... how could spaceman98 be Sauron? A man from space is obviously Star Wars."

"Don't judge a book by its cover."

"How very wise. I am convinced. Bring the spaceman here!"

The crowd shoved spaceman forward.

"Do you know how many times I'm going to shoot you with this blaster, spaceman98?"

"Uh... ninety-eight times?"

"What? No, that's ridiculous. That would be a monumental waste of time and the special effects budget. Where did you even get that idea from?"

"It seemed like you were going to make a bad joke on my name."

"That is kind of your thing, you have to admit."

"No, it's not!" Zack fired the blaster at spaceman98 a reasonable number of times. "Now throw him out of the airlock!"

"There's no airlock, and is that a joke on his name?"

"..."

"Shut up!"

Spoiler :

spaceman98 was Gandalf the Grey!

Spoiler :

He was a member of the Lord of the Rings Town!

TALLY:

Fun version:

Boring version:

It is now Night Eight.

[azzaman333]

What an enormously stupid lynch.

 

[johnhughthom]

If you are going to come out and call people stupid, at least ensure you made a decent effort to argue against said lynch.

 

[Double A]

Can I say it was a stupid lynch? I'm dead, so I can't do anything but annoy you. At least I think I can still make passive-aggressive comments like this, as long as the emphasis is on passive.

Best tally, though.
