I wish I had something so believable. And I'll totally not!bet dollars against donuts in a completely game legal fashion that you won't be able to guess it correctly.

Oh dear. Still way behind in my catching up, and not sure how I'm going to finish it after seeing yoogsloth's claim. That's some claim alright.

Think I'm going to sort of follow dedoporno, and take a break from catching up to go through that a couple of times more. I mean, I had yogsloth somewhat leaning town, but that STU ability... not sure I can actually wrap my head around all that.

But after first parse [emphasis added]:

and

So, do you have a name or not? And why are you assuming? I always had you as the type that mercilessly asks for clarifications.

Yes, I have a name.

It's just not "Tony Linguini" you know what I mean? It's not a stereotypically Italian name.

I'm assuming "hitman" is my role because I don't have anything else and I don't want to detail any conversations I may have had with RW.

OK, I'm bye-bye.

Will check in as much as I can on mobile.

Enjoy yourselves.

Alright. That's one of a hell of a bomb to drop, yogs. I'm not sure I believe that RW went all out bastard mod though. I mean miller, OK. But Death-Miller is a very disliked and IMO unfair role. So your claim is, as you know yourself, hard to believe. Yes, this is a role madness game and I have reason to believe that RW meant the 'madness' (i.e. very non-standard roles) quite literal. But apart from that there's still this: according to your claim, you will read as scum, you will flip as scum and you have a night-kill ability. So you are indistinguishable from scum - wouldn't it be easiest to assume, that you ARE scum?
Now the only question which bugs me is: why would scum yogs go all out and claim such a role? But then again, you are yogsloth and you have been known to do outrageous things... Problem is: if your claim is true, we won't gain much from your flip. ... And if it isn't you have sown quite a lot of confusion with this claim... so maybe not such a bad move for scum after all? Gah! My head hurts! ... I'll have to sleep on this before I decide whether I risk believing you or whether I'd rather move my vote to you.

Other than that I agree with dedo, that Gamma needs to come back ASAP or be replaced.

And docbear really looks bad right now. One post consisting of nothing but quotes (can happen, I guess, though I still would like to know what was supposed to be written there) and one post basically saying 'Meh, I got nothing.' That lack of contribution, in spite of being overshadowed by Yog's nuke, is still noteworthy - and scummy.

Good night! I'm looking forward to reading all the incredolous outcries tomorrow, that are sure to come when the people not around now come online and read yog's claim.

Back.

The game is afoot, it seems. And I was worried about foot-shooting. It will be a shitstorm.

The Miller claim I won't even touch at this point since I don't really see a good way of doing so. The role ability I'm more interested in, though. Is it finite? How does it work?


What does that exactly mean? Why not worry about Gamma? Should the assumption here be that you are going to vig the lurker out of the game? If so, how exactly, if I may ask? I got the impression that you are "gimped" and the kill power has to do with names. Can you elaborate on that?

meh...

What do you expect??

You come out with I know something, but I'm not sure I should tell today. Maybe I'll tell you all tomorrow.


And if you're dead tomorrow.....what are we to do about/with the alleged revelation??

I don't want you to get into any of the conversations you had with RWarehall (I'll hazard a guess that just about everyone had at least one or two exchanges with him), I just find it odd that you say "I'm assuming".


Yes, I know what you mean. But why would it have to be a stereotypically Italian name? I mean, there's the Italian/American mafia, but also the Japanese Mafia; the Russian Mafia, and gods know what other organisations are operating in the US. I'm restricting it to the US, because our mod is from and resides there. Is there something about Florida that says "can't be anything but Italian/American"?


[emphasis added]

In your claim post you said that “hitman” is your role name, now you say it's your role. Which of the two is it?


And one more:

We don't get role flips (RWarehall's clarification standing). So, if that is your role, how exactly are you going to flip “Mafia hitman"? Did RWarehall make an exception just for you?


And that STU ability... I mean, it sounds awfully like the mod handed over one of his responsibilities/powers to a random player. What are the odds that from all the players partaken, yogsloth would be the random player to land the role with said ability?

What's next - flubbucket having an ability to kill drealmer7 as soon as the latter hands out scum-points to more than half the players?



STU stands for "Slaughter The Useless", a term coined by yogsloth a dozen games or so ago, and negatively received by others, most notably by trentonlf. I'm surprised you're not aware of this.

I assume that this is a separate ability, but still a pretty good question (how it works if he's a gimped Vigilante).


Off to make another effort to get my notes together and a couple of posts out, in hope of finally getting up to date with the thread.

If I'm dead what I had in mind back then would have died with me most likely. The question was whether or not that was the lesser evil.

Do you like seafood? Since you seem like you're trying to fish for something.

Let's try the airport wifi. Side note: it is 3 in the afternoon and there are literally four other passengers in the entire airport that I can see. Kinda creeped the fuck out actually... Looking for langoliers

@ dedo. Names have nothing to do with anything, but yes my kills hot is gimped. I won't say how because I intend to shoot me some lurk weasels

I do know the abbreviation. I was referring to the whole concept yog described.

Really wish I was on comp so could better answer hsl.

...ability, big shot not tied to lurkers, I am tying it to lurkers. Coincidence not lost on me though that I finally get an ability to do what I always dreamed

...role name, what a dumb couple of questions. I don't know the difference between role and role name, and I don't know what flips we get. Is that in the op?

Side note, bad time to admit I didn't really read the op?

My bad. I guess I mistook the following as the name being related to the limited kill power in some way:

Wesley?

I was wondering about lifts response and kinda push for someone else to vote. I was also wrong on how the mechanics of the day work RW has cleared it up.

A little bit.

and this
Isnt that the best place for scum to hide?

Wiki says its normally not used unless a bastard game.



Can you explain? Never-mind it has been explained by hyper below.


Thank you. I googled mafia stu ability and came up with nothing

Your confusing me. First you say you have an ability called STU. Which even google was like nah bro sorry I got nothing and that ability has come to light to be Slaughter the useless. Is your role formed around this goal or are you just saying you plan on using your role this way. This way being to kill of the useless?

**Storms have been off and on since I have come home and I lost power (flickered) twice trying to catch up from last night, If i got mia its because I lost power/ internet.

Wesley joke unrelated. Reference to The Princess Bride. Role was probably on my mind when making it though.
