Well, I was really eager to FINALLY catch a scum for once....still, a touché where a touché is due.
I'll also leave with this: worthwhile/decent ideas/stances are usually still good no matter who expresses them ;)

Asking the parts, this stuck out like a sore thumb. I cannot give results and simultaneously hide my role, now can I? Of course not. And the only result that could get modifiers is... Psychoanalyst....
Your logic fails here. I cannot decide if it was on purpose or not. @449 the 7 hr delay was because I didn't know if I could convince others to vote for yogs without spilling the beans, and it was my Town Duty to try. When no one else seemed to want to vote but instead explained why Yogs was being fairly reasonable, I realized that as logic isn't my strongest suit, but since I had results that indicated scum, and since I couldn't figure out how it was anything but scum, and really don't want scum to win, I figured I had to give my results to properly visualize for others the holes in the arguments, but if I said "yeah I got scum results from yogs... BE in our of game without town knowing the bedbugs (seriously?! "Benefits"was sorted to... Bedbugs... lol wut...) of my investigation. And besides more accurate pressure might cause more to cave.

To someone else... Who asked about yogs being conditional... The only reason I asked about that was because in that part I was imagining if I did have imaginative... What that would mean for "conditional networked etc"... To be a scumteam you have to be chatty and threatening... I looked and asked if I could have gotten illegitimate results and the only possibility is imaginative.
Unless of course you are joating or something worthy you can do the scum thing on your lonesome. I did not get any idea of multiple scum lonesomes, had anyone else seen anything supporting this idea? To the contrary post 1 says "winning team"
Per post one the only threatening role is t-rex... But even the trex does which means they aren't alive to win. So scum just be determined by modifier... The only threatening modifiers are brutal, murderous, and venom. The nk flip says brutal wasnt used, nor was venom. Ergo murderer was the modifier that nkd in this game of forum Mafia.
Re scum hat...7 v 2 with w/o chat sends weak, and 7 v 3 even without chat is perhaps much, but that is pushing the kids... (Lol I meant outguessing the mod)

It would be truly bizarre to have a scum team without chat. Lift says he got those three modifiers for scum. Would infinitive have rolled all 3 on a town player? Sidechat=scum or mason. Masons don't exist in any form in post 1s role or modifier list other than as networked. No one has claimed it, not even yogs.
Sidechat= a scum player.
(Dad took my phone here so idr my train of thought.) It would be truly bizarre-more than I think even this weird-but-fun setup.

Conclusion: I cannot see getting those 3 results and it being imaginative. Ergo, yogs is and must be scum.

Fwiw idk what Lift's results said and have resisted asking. [i][/i]
Welcome to Joppo as vice mod.

@lift the extra flourish was because I had not yet received mod confirmation that I could quote the mod message. I didn't recall what protocol was for result/night action reports. Interesting thoughts on the role claiming bit of 423. I -sort of- see your point but wanted my referral "hey I've a role that works!” delayed to d3.
@438 I was paying devil's advocate in case my results were due to imaginative.

More to come...
Okay yogs denied Mason. @yogs thanks for confirming you are scum.

@445 how do you know you get 2 modifiers back if your role works?!?! Zfr had 1. Dogmaus had 1. Since you said that much you might as well explain. Are you scum? Some of your reasoning seems fishy. Also I never saw post 20 before it was edited.
(End page 9)


Hmm. My dad now has a 4/10 degree fever, 7/10 above earlier today and knows when the IV Tylenol wears off (goes from 4 to 6 on a scale of 1 to 10). Thank you all for your prayers & well wishes, he's going much better than 26 hours ago. He might even come home today!

Begin page 10
@451 okay. Hmm.
@453 and I'm worrying about books tunneling by agreeing with me. When yogs flips scum and I'm eliminated from the game you have to decide if he's actively bussing yogs and buddying me.

I think I'm up to date and am thankful for the week wishes and waiting for me to catch up and respond. I might go incommunicado again soonish.

What can I tell you? There's a fake red check on me. Not the first time.

I feel like I've been pretty obviously townie. I'm pretty sure I know who the scum are, and I haven't kept it a secret. I suspect my reads this game are pretty good. You guys literally think I'm mafia every single time, if somehow I escape the night 1 kill, no matter how good my reads are


There isn't anything more for me to say or do, and the honest truth is - how are you not going to yeet a red-checked player? So I just expect to die, you'll power-yeet micro D3, and then glglgl in F3

however, FYI, I'm going to be out of pocket from Saturday-Tuesday. I'll be checking in online, but I'm on a mini-vacation for a few days. If we could just get it resolved before then, that would be great.

Ebwop
I would no longer be in the game without giving town the benefit of knowing exactly what was said.
...
Well wishes.

I'm on phone and usually swipe my words, not tap tap tap individual characters.

@yogs
Out of game, have a fantastic vacation!

Good on ya(if town) to try and hide yer role.....still, by that point(as others pointed out to me as well) nearly everyone and their mum had claimed psychoanalyst.

Makes some sense, I admit.

Bedbugs? What do you mean? Is that something in your PM/etc or what?

Read Post 462 when you have time.

A combo of my remembering of Lift's original Post 20(he listed 2 modifiers in that one) and my misremembering of my role PM led to that reply of mine. I don't actually know how many qualifiers/modifiers i'd get back if I analyzed successfully.

This is good to hear :)

=-=-=-=

To All

By the by, I am contemplating voting for Yog atm.....but wanna hold off a bit longer. If anyone thinks I should just go ahead and vote now, lemme know.o

=-=-=-=

Ya know what? Upon reading Yog's post 468, he seems a bit too at ease (like in the last bit of that post) about being the next possible lynch.

Because of that and other reasons I would gladly end the "day" if I could, and not accidentally this time, but I am just one man so I can't hammer....but I can add my vote:

Vote Yogsloth

There.....now if someone else wants to light this candle and see what comes of it(bright shining rockets red glare or fizzled out failure), then by all means.

=-=-=-=

Note to all: Yogsloth is now at L-1

=-=-=-=

I promise you I'm not at ease with getting a fake red check and dying.

The above bits and etc seem (key word) to me to be a bit too at ease.
(for other players, that is.....seems a bit in line with how I sometimes feel in these games)

Yes, let's. Another 24 hours would be nice if it doesn't interfere with yog's vacation.

After what appears a few hours of discussing among themselves, the players hear a noise. They all turn at once and see Joppo approaching sitting on the back of a shark that's swimming through the land. He jumps from the animal and joins the group.

"Hello. I came here to help you guys. And to keep vices in check."
"Nice timing. We need a votecount and that penguin is nowhere to be seen", says Bookwyrm.
"And Joe is in dreamland, helpful as always" completes Lift rolling his eyes.
"That stupid penguin isn't reliable at all. I can try a votecount. Let's see what we have here... ah this stuff might work. Hopefully. Cross your fingers" answered Joppo after rolling Cadaver over.

Joppo grabs a sheaf of celery from under Cadaver's cadaver and slaps a nearby boulder a couple times. The face of the rock falls and they can see a votecount. Ettac looks at it and says "That is all fine and dandy but we knew it already"
Yog quips "Very impressive. You managed to bring important info and be useless at the same time" (to which GR murmurs "I still liked it")
"Is that all you can do? asks Pooka
"Maybe we should lunch him instead" pokes Micro.
"Wait, let me try again" pleads Joppo

After a new round of slaps the other side of the rock displays the following votecount:

3 - yogsloth - Microfish_1, Bookwyrm627, GamezRanker,
1 - Microfish_1 - yogsloth,
1 - GamezRanker - PookaMustard,

0 - Bookwyrm627 -
0 - PookaMustard -
0 - ettac orrazib si eman ym -
0 - Lifthrasil -
0 - No-Lunch -

Not Voting - ettac orrazib si eman ym, Lifthrasil,

yogsloth is closest to elimination at 1 votes away.

"Hrm" – murmurs ettac – "someone should wake Joe, he's been tanning in that sunlight for so long he's turning a weird shade of green"

====================================================================================

As if it was legally binding in a bizarro universe. If you had pinky-sweared, on the other hand...
By the way, we need to cut back on your consumption of catnip.

Lol

*GR points at the vice mod* "How did he know?" o.0

Well that just goes to resin......you should always slap the southward facing side of rocks in bizarro world to get a proper vote count.

Also while yer here: a proper welcome for ya as Vice Mod
(starring Joppo as Frylock, Joe as Master Shake, GR as Meatwad, and Yog as Carl)

LOL at 476!

Update: dad is home, exhausted, and in some pain but released from the hospital. It was actually up to him if he came home or not, and he said while on his required 10 laps around the nurses station that if he'd been asked then, he'd have opted to stay.
His breathing/lung capacity test scored 1K-1250 units of the desired 2000 units.

A few more days ought to see him much improved, and "totally" healed in 6-8 weeks. Perhaps the stomach pain that dominated my thoughts in ZFR's game 69 (September 2020), and that was masked/explained by the ulcer they found in 2020/12, was all due to his gallbladder.

(They wouldn't let us keep any of the stones.)

So, yay! Thanks all for your prayers and well wishes. They are appreciated.

autocorrect on my phone, coupled with swiping instead of tapping.

Originial meaning was stated in the EBWOP in 469

You know what, I'm going to be super busy and let's just get this over with


Vote yogsloth

It's obvious there's no other conclusion.

Sorry Town, I tried my best on this one, spent more time than I planned, but hey, that's how it goes

Obviously yeet microfish tomorrow

If he was Town as well and this was some bogus janky fake report somehow, game will end and we can all have a lovely discussion in post-game

My last bit of advice, assuming micro is mafia, is to whomever is left in F3... probably don't automatically yeet bookwyrm, because the possibility still exists that if it's not him, the other mafia will drag him to F3 and try to set him up, so just be careful

It was fun playing again, totally glad I signed up

Maybe sometime when my life isn't crazy I can host another one of my super-story-stacked setups with the mountains of reading lol

Peace out guys

Go Town
