Come on, why are you asking why? There are multiple town motivations to do so.

I'm not seeing a town result to this action that doesn't create problems and complications.

And there could actually be a scum reason to want to gauge the reaction of the player who was blocked to find out if he is really power or just a vanilla pretending to be something. But that doesn't really line up with it being Knightz, but perhaps a player who is more experienced and knows what being roleblocked means.

It's just a crazy thing to have done and now to try and handwave as not meaning anything is crazier still.

FD how are we on the list?

Believe this should be accurate.

"What is the point of sending it at all" is me asking, 1. what were you aiming to achieve by sending the message that you did that contained your identity, and 2. Why would Wallz make that a town role? I was hoping you could answer the latter from your perspective. Like if you could message after you were dead it would make more sense and have more of a point.

You kind of answered the first part, which is that you were sending the message to try and confirm yourself. Honestly I thought if you answered this way it would make you scummier, so.... congrats I guess. Its just the kind of "Confirmable" that scum would get. I do have no doubts that you would want to have fun with the role as town. I guess if your role was exactly how its described then you would probably do what you did, so I'm surprised you arent mad about having a shitty basically vanilla role again if so. What makes it confirmable in your eyes?

after lopen basically insisted i needed to die today i figured i'd need to claim anyway so might as well have some fun with it. i knew someone would argue the role could be scum, didn't think it'd be you though.

it's confirmable in the sense that the host sends a message directly written by me, and that he explicitly says my flavor (Mr. Spell).

if i wanted to, i could encode something that's only solveable with a key I divulge later if it was ever up for debate. hell, i could even encode dead man's switch type of messages too (using, for example, the number of words in my role PM as a key) such that it's only solvable in the event of my death.

And frankly, I don't consider myself to be the kind of person that would get "mad at having a shitty basically vanilla role" anyway. The only time time I can remember that coming up was in the Dota 2 mafia when I started out as a vanilla and had to spend 500 gold to get the role that ctes started with (lol). But honestly, I've yet to reach the point where I actually think it's just like, a neat vanilla role where I can share my thoughts in a last will before I die or troll people with funny messages at night.

Given that we've seen real vanillas drop I've always been under the assumption that there's something that interacts with my role - some way for people to give me information I could share out anonymously, perhaps. Maybe an item out of Ken's wardrobe, maybe Ulti's Mason Recruiter and I could share out Kirby's cop scans, maybe something yet unrevealed! Maybe I'm just supposed to proselytize the cult of the Claw!

i mean we only have one flip to go off of but Stinky Pete's an actual villain and I'm host-confirmed Mr. Spell

I'm sure red is already awake, Dodgers home game starts in less than 3 hours and so he'll either be at work already or on his way.

Did you craft the entire message that was sent? Or just the code part at the end?

[LFAQs-redacted-quote]


ya'll keep saying math. It was just a simple replacement cipher with an indicated shift. No math was involved -_-

the whole thing. i can type anything i want for wallz to send on my behalf, so long as it doesn't break the rules of the game in T1P1 and fits in a single gamefaqs post

1 post per night phase?

yes, not compulsive

or compulsory or whatever the correct grammatical term is

follow up question when you say you crafted the whole thing, did that begin at "A Message from Mr. Spell:" or "Who is Mr. Spell?"

begins with "who is mr. spell?"

Will have to take your word for that then >_>

It's a great flavor/role combination in any case so I'm still on board to believe it. And yeah, no known scum turns from mr spell.

Hello.

FD is right
Though i prefer we dont say where i work in public forums.

This is work at night and then work in morning.

Inb4 there's a secret Mr Spell kills everyone fanfic out there

right now the differentiation between what i'm saying and what wallz is saying as host text is the bolded text

i'm not sure if i can do bold text in my message or not i'll try it in my message tonight (since I send as a PM)

Oh ,i didnt know Mr. Spell was someone from toy story at all. Now I see that its the messenger toy, not a magic spell. That does help

My bad -_-

I guess I thought it was common-ish knowledge, I'll be appropriately vague moving forward.

LEA LEA HE MADE A JOKE AGAIN

I'm hilarious all the time (imo), it's just rarely appreciated <_<

##vote Red
Red has pretty much been inactive for the entirety of this game and we should just lynch him.

idk the one game sample size suggests scum FD is cracking jokes !

UltimaterializerX posted...

Dont end the day early. Need info from him first, even if its fake info. Thanks.

You think he's not just gonna disappear now?

so it's red? you have a guilty on red?

great.

Let's try to kill Ben and Red before Night 2 starts and we lose more people.

Assuming we have a vig, we could just end it right here assuming they are online and we can just lynch the other scum.

I meant to put down before instead of and

If at any point its provable a third party or second scum team exists, you kill Death without thinking twice. He always rolls that shit.

Heh. Well you're wrong, but you did make me laugh.
(And I confess being an SK was fun every time)

##Vote: Ctes

Also amazing, a day1 read of mine actually panned out.
Tho I gotta ask, why did you choose Ctes?

I apologize for accidentally tagging most of you, that was probably unnecessary.

move here at 450: https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/boards/8-gamefaqs-contests/80749453

good stuff!

any reason to delay the day ending or shall we send it here?

(I will be moving all day Saturday and likely miss the deadline itself, though I'll check in once or twice to be available enough to at least cast a vote if need be, though probably nothing else)

UltimaterializerX posted...

ctes tripped his big tell, plus a bunch of people kept calling him scum without ever actually voting for him (also why Red is scum btw).

Lmao, you haven't caught scum (at least not me). I don't even think red ever called me scum or anything, only Lopen and Death ever did.
