Straw

Rae is trollllling! Don't listen to her. It's there. I suppose you'll just have to wait and I'll tell you after the game. I suppose he will not be joining the party. Hopefully he's someone important.

Don't spoil it! If you don't want to open all those spoilers, try using a more sophisticated method. I promise there's an easy way to find the secret.

What else should I do as an outed elim? Thanks for the support! EDIT: I accidentally said "outed elim". That was a typo. I meant to say "totally innocent criminal".

Fun treasure hunt for all you bored people: (I pinky promise that I really did hide something in here) Hopefully, that doesn't break.

I'll just respond with this:

Another false accusation.

Really? I don't believe you. What's your "evidence"?

I'm being accused on false pretenses! They're believing some crazy guy who ran in here and told everyone I'm guilty. There's no evidence against me! Help save me from this rigged trial!

Who? Me trolling? Never! I am being very analytical, and I’m always open to talk!

I did. At least you have me. I don't know my team. I'm playing the game blind. First of all, you made a slight grammar mistake: it's "medal of honor", not "medal of honour". Might be a typo, a mistake, or an elim slip. All possibilities. On other sites, I believe this is called a "villagery mindmeld". Also, if I'm evil, and we agree, then maybe you're evil! Might want to go recheck your GM PM, buddy. Pretty stupid to say that considering that someone with the description "A rogue Kandra with aspirations of Deicide." is in the game! Thx m8. Hello to you as well. I'll be waiting.

Thanks! I guess I'm your one reader.

Anyone else just get pinged with a ghost post from Experience? @Orlok Tsubodai you still haven't given me my prize!

I think you might need to reread Joe's post on how Extortionists work. He says that if they can't use the action, they use a random action instead. As Flogs only has one action, his scan would be used no matter what.

No, you can't screenshot PMs. Read the SE rules. First of all, I'm not a Constable, so I know you're lying. That means you're doing a gambit. You could also be extorted, and incorrect by accident. I see a few possibilities: You are Flogs, and were extorted. In this case, we should attempt to keep you alive. However, I'm curious as to why you didn't try to reveal your findings through someone else, rather than claiming to the thread? You're currently not too much danger of being lynched, what with DeTess stalking Fura, and I think people would be fairly willing to jump on a train on me if someone said that Flogs had scanned me. I also don't see why you'd claim so early in the cycle. It makes little logical sense, as you'd probably want to take more time to evaluate the situation and your options if you were actually Flogs. You are a villager attempting a gambit. I could completely believe that a new player would try something like this. However, it doesn't seem that well thought out. I could see you basically just using it as a super-vote on me, and praying that I'm an elim. I could also see you doing it to try to draw Bleeder's attention, allowing the real Flogs to stay alive for longer. In this case, I'm not sure why you'd claim I'm an elim, instead of claiming I'm a villager. The final thing I could see for this option, and the most unlikely in my opinion, is you trying to get actual elims to contact you, so you can out them to the thread and admit that you didn't actually scan me. Sorry for wrecking this if it is what you're trying, but I have to defend myself. You are an eliminator attempting to escape the lynch. Doing this would probably be a decent decision for the elim team. You can get an easy mislynch on me, and then try to defend yourself by saying you were extorted. As an added bonus, you can out all the bodyguards that contact you to the elim team, allowing the elim team to wipe them out. Sure, it'd most likely end in a lynch on you, but it'd be good for the elim team in general. You are Bleeder with Gambling Tycoon as well, and are attempting to place yourself in a position of trust. I think that this would actually be a very strong strategy for Bleeder. Drawing the bodyguard kills onto yourself would stop bodyguards from interfering with your other kills. Flogs could try to counterclaim via an intermediary, but you could probably deflect long enough to out them. Once they died, Winstig would be in play, and you'd just have to pray for their death. After all, Bleeder doesn't have to be alive to win. If you lynch me, you could just claim you'd been extorted when I flip village. You could then use some of your alignment scans to establish yourself as Flogs by giving some correct reads. You could explain the absence of kills as Bleeder testing your defenses or trying to throw suspicion on you. Yeah, so those are my thoughts. Furamirionind. Karnage.

I am referring to this comment: The vote count at that point was: Fura (2): DeTess, StrawGod King (3): Archivist, Experience, ReadingKarnage (5): Araris, Emi, Pyromancer, Sart, StrikerMatrim (1): HemalurgicPyromancer (1): God KingSart (4): Arraenae, Karnage, Matrim, XinoStraw(3): Orlok, wilson, Fura While this does seem close, I think that Karnage could have reasonably seen that the vote was trending towards him at that point. I think that if he were to claim, then would be one of the more reasonable times to do so. I maintain that he probably should have claimed. His explanation seems somewhat acceptable though. I'm rather curious as to how Furamirionind will respond to DeTess. I assume DeTess is telling the truth, since I don't see much reason for them to lie about it. Karnage. Furamirionind.

In case anyone finds it useful, here's the activity count for last cycle: A Joe in the Bush: 12 Araris Valerian: 6 Arraenae: 3 BrightnessRadiant: 8 Bugsy: 1 Coda: 2 DeTess: 7 Devotary of Spontaneity: 1 Dot: 1 Elkanah: 10 Emi: 19 Experience: 1 Furamirionind: 12 Hemalurgic Headshot: 2 Karnage: 11 Kynedath: 10 Lord_Silberfarben: 5 Matrim's_Dice: 31 Mist: 4 Orlok Tsubodai: 9 Sart: 2 Shard of Reading: 10 Straw: 34 StrikerEZ: 8 The Young Pyromancer: 28 The_Archivist: 3 The_God_King: 12 Zillah: 2 little wilson: 7 xinoehp512: 3 Looking at this, it'd be nice to hear from all the people who were inactive or only posted once: @Bugsy @Devotary of Spontaneity @Dot @Experience @Hammond42.

Per the rules:

I find it very odd that Karnage didn't roleclaim at the end of the cycle. @Karnage any explanation for this? You must have seen that you were the most likely lynch candidate. I'll put my vote on Karnage until he explains.

Well, I'm certainly glad I didn't get infolynched! Looking at the writeup, there seem to have been some alterations in the votes: Fura (1): StrawGod King (3): Archivist, Experience, ReadingKarnage (7): Araris, Emi, Fura, Pyromancer, Sart, Striker, BrightnessMatrim (1): HemalurgicPyromancer (1): God KingSart (5): Arraenae, Karnage, Matrim, Xino, DeTessStraw(2): Orlok, wilson Fura (1): Straw God King (3): Archivist, Experience, Reading Karnage (6): Araris, Brightness, Emi, Fura, Pyromancer, Sart, Striker Matrim (1): Hemalurgic Pyromancer (1): God King Sart (4): DeTess, Karnage, Matrim, Xino Straw(1): Arraenae, Orlok, wilson Looking at this, we can see that a vote on Karnage was cancelled, Arraenae was moved to me, and two votes on me were cancelled. The lynch wasn't particularly close, so this doesn't say much in my opinion.

What’s going on? It’s past midnight and my mind’s scrambled. I saw some post from TGK that got deleted. Also, Chaos is viewing the thread for some reason? Weird.

Prize, please!

Interesting that you completely dodged my request for reads. Hopefully you'll give some later. Even gut reads would be good. For DeTess, you said that something felt off about one of their paragraphs, so I assumed it was a bad gut read. I guess it wasn't, then? So, going over some of your reasons: People aren't piling on me: I don't see why this is a reason to lynch me? That's the case for most everyone in the player list, so it's a weak case. I sound defensive: First of all, you know I'm defensive, and that I'd push back regardless of alignment. I don't see why I shouldn't be defensive, considering how weak the case against me is. Your no perfect reasons thing feels like an excuse to not contribute to the thread. As I've said in response to others, I hate that sort of thinking. It makes for weak information later on, and gives elims a shield to hide behind. I'll vote on you if you seem suspicious. Also, pretty ironic that you'd say that when you're the one to jump on me. I'm feeling a lot better about voting on you now. I want to give you the benefit of the doubt, since I often go after you, but I just can't do that with how you're acting.

Since you're on, can you explain why you voted for me? I have yet to see any sort of explanation other than you saying that Karnage has lots of votes. Looking back, I don't see many reads from you. You seemed to pressure Pyro a bit, but haven't gone further. In your most recent post, you mentioned a gut bad read on DeTess, but nothing else. Do you have any other reads you can share with us?

I cannot see a single positive reason to not have a D1 lynch, and I'm not even going to touch that line of discussion. No matter what, I want there to be a lynch so we can have information to work off of tommorow. @A Joe in the Bush does the "both parties will be lynched" thing for tied votes also apply to larger ties, or will you randomly pick two? It's odd that you want to put your vote where it "won't do much damage". That feels like an excuse to not actually contribute. You also say that you don't feel strongly about any of the lynches, which is interesting. Maybe take a closer look at them? They'll definitely be important for analysis tomorrow. Care to elaborate more on your read of Matrim? I've been reading them as village, and I'm curious to hear what about them set you off.

I just noticed that whenever Orlok talks about wilson in his reads, he puts it in all lowercase. That's hilarious.
