Edit: Auto posted while I was writing this! Not funny, Mr. Autolycus

I know ATPG, and I know what a marvelous player he normally is. My vote isn't based on an excuse, it's based on a perfectly valid reason: why on earth was he acting the way he was in this game, voting for Seon constantly? And maybe voting for him makes me look scummy, but surely the fact he's a valuable player shouldn't stop us from being allowed to be suspicious of his behaviour. We haven't seen his role PM, after all.

Voting constantly? Please, all 24 votes are on the same post.

Well, in that case, lynching Seon would seem like a wise move, since you've testified to his innocence, your fates are now interlinked, and lynching him would certainly tell us something of your own alleigance. Renata's also.

What? So lynching Seon who'd appear to be an Innocent -by your own account- in order to test atpg and Renata is the key?

I haven't seen the error of my ways until his head rolls off his shoulders and there is flesh and blood underneath it, not a team of thirty-five squirrels dressed as clowns.

Seon claimed various contradictory things to me privately, which sounded like soft claims that he felt he could make without "looking serious", thus giving him the benefit of maybe changing my mind, without looking like he has to back up his story.

That's weak, because if he was a real role, he would know that nothing short of telling me what it was would change my mind, and even then I'd probably flip a coin to see if I should believe the claim or not, since it's usually fake.

Seon seems to be dancing on a tightrope between serious and Seon, and it looks quite uncomfortable. I like pressuring people like that, maybe they'll fall and you'll get a scum. If not, hey, at least his exit was dramatic.

Seon is always Seon, atpg.

I've already had a hearty meal, but I could use another.

It's hearty, lungy, sinewy… sort of like a potluck.

 

[Askthepizzaguy]

Seon is always Seon, atpg.

That will never be a defense. Seon is always Seon, but Seon is sometimes guilty. Even the greats can make mistakes.

I am not one to give up on a challenge.

They are actually wearing bikinis.

End Day 2​

The sun had begun to set, but the anger and suspicion towards the acrobat had only waxed. Much of the town was bearing down on his tent, and it wasn't to drink tea and crumpets. Hearing them coming, classical_hero stepped out in full performance array. "Welcome ladies and gentlemen, you're just in time for my newest show. I'll perform it for you, and then we can all go home happy, right? Right."

So saying, the acrobat pulled out all the stops. He did somersaults, he did handsprings, he did cartwheels he did flips. The crowd was mesmerized, except for a few intermittent boos. Finally, he went into his finale. He rolled down the space between the tents to the edge of the circus ground. Then he started into a frenzy of back handsprings into back flips into arials into roundoffs, he was going into his last move, a handspring into a double back flip when the lovely Assistant stepped out of her tent and took out one of his hands. He fell, hard, onto one of the stakes that held the ropes of the big top. He let out a scream as it skewered his body. He quivered, then finally died. The crowd was in shock. They searched his tent, but turned up nothing. Finally, they had no choice but to conclude that

Spoiler :

classical_hero the acrobat was merely a member of the circus!!!

Slowly, in a little bit of shock, the crowd began to disperse, except for the jailer, who collared the innkeeper for drunk and disorderly conduct and took him off to jail.

Forgot the no talking at night rule. Won't happen again.

Spoiler :

Wait there is this whole ATPG vs. Seon discussion. Which I feel are for metagaming reasons only and then classical_hero gets lynched? Did I miss something here? Instant suspects: civplayah, rhawn, robbiecon, kennigit, Romanichine, Methos, Renata, Zack, Seon I say.

Morning Day 3​

The birds are chirping, but the town is greeted by a brutal site. The man that ambled into town the first day warning of cultists is crucified upon the sharp branches of a tree. His wings, arms and legs are all impaled, and his throat has been slit. As his body is carefully taken down for burial, the town can see that his facial features are actually, once one ignores the beard, the same as those of the urchin civplayah, who is nowhere to be found but there.

Spoiler :

civplayah was an Angel of the Balance!!!

After the burial was completed, and the innkeeper released after sleeping off his intoxication, the accusations began to fly once more.

Dead, please do not discuss the game amongst yourselves, much less with the living.​

 

[mythmonster2]

Ooooh bugger. Dunno what the hell that is, but if he's an angel, his death ain't good. So, trying to actually do something for once, I've analyzed the posts he's made and the accusations against him.
First day: random vote against TFA, (presumably) not-serious reply.
Day 2: Joins the bandwagon against classical, gets a FoS from BSmith, some calling out by classical.
So, not much. Just typical Mafia inactive killing. Hell, the only person I can think of is BSmith, but he didn't do enough to get killed for it. So, looks like it's wait and see the arguments.

 

[Takhisis]

What is an Angel of the Balance?

 

[Askthepizzaguy]

Interesting.

Well, civplayah claimed to me that he was some kind of innocence/guilt scanner, who had "conveniently" scanned me night one.

That was probably fake fake fake, he seemed to get upset when I mentioned I had already been scanned by someone else claiming to be a scanner, and that I wouldn't reveal who that person was, because I don't trust TWO scanners. That doesn't seem balanced.

So, I was probably right. civplayah was a scumbag trying to form a network with me and gain information, with fake detective claims. The purple tells me all I need to know about his alignment, it wasn't townie or circus.

YAY ME for not revealing the other scanner. I freaking rock.


Also, Seon must die.

 

[Red_Spy]

One urchin held a secret, but does the orphan TheForestAuro have one too?

 

[Takhisis]

What is an Angel of the Balance?

This. Does this mean that the Angels are scummers or what?

 

[choxorn]

People revealed as something other than innocent/town/etc are usually some kind of scummers, so he probably was some kind of scummer.

While the Blacksmith may be on to something, I don't really see what the case on Seon is. I do, however, see cpdwane as being very scummy.

 

[TheForestAuro]

One urchin held a secret, but does the orphan TheForestAuro have one too?

Red Spy, do you have something against me? You seem eager to - against all discussion - lynch me.

 

[Zack]

Seon

Sure, whatever.

 

[Aiolos]

cpdwane. Clowns are almost as abominable as mimes. Besides, all clowns are killers, watch It.

I am starting to see you as scummy, choxorn.

It's convenient that civplayah said he was going to scan you last night. Could that have been an angel of balance providing a cover story for his fellow angel of balance?

And you're so sure Seon is innocent, too. Rule: Don't defend people you don't know are innocent.

I smell a whiff of something. Either you're working with Seon and this is coincidental, or civplayah made a boo-boo and revealed a connection to you, who happens to be scummily defending Seon.

Before I start busting out my Hammer of Justice, maybe you want to explain to me who the heck you people really are. Otherwise I'm getting dangerously close to latching on with my teeth and not stopping until you're both deader than disco.
