@X1: I've completed FF6 around 10 times on the SNES, give or take a couple. I intentionally chose the breadcrumb I did because I do not wish for everyone to understand it. Those that can, did. There will be nothing else.

I don't get how you failed to see this Cello. I know DH is scum, I kept it to myself because bending him to town's will would probably be easier when he thinks we all think he's town.
This is the stupidest thing I've ever read.
@Swiss: About Xatres, quit it. If Xatres exercises good judgment in who should be lynched, then that's fine. When and IF he decides to start ****ing up, THEN you may attack him.
@Xatres: You have no opinions that you wish to express via your vote at this time, correct? If we were to get down to the wire on time, would you be willing to lynch Dark Horse? If so, since there is no true difference between NOT having your vote on Dark Horse and voting for him since you can easily unvote if he gets too uncomfortably close to a lynch, would you be willing to indulge me and place your vote on him for the time being?
@MK: Look at the brass ones on you! Taking such a hard stance against Xatres must make you so proud. And then GLG. Easy mode is for elementary school kids. Die in obscurity. (Wait, wrong game)
@vanderzant: Can I get in on that vand/Swiss alliance action? That'll save time. Also, about your crumb question, the answer is "no". I appreciate your conservation of time and effort. I have never played with DH before.
@GLG: You get the Swiss treatment this time around. Gambler's fallacy and all that. Join the Human Dignity bloc. Vote for Dark Horse. He kills people.
@Nabe: Between X1 and DH, who do you think is more likely to have a scum PR? Also, SRB? Soaring-Raptor-Blast? Or something else? Also, can you ask GLG to vote for DH for me? I tried, and we'll see if he does so, but if not then he'll probably respond positively to you.
@J: Yes, DH must die. Inactives don't exist. You will not keep me in check. MK is not mafia, although he is probably indy. Tandora is town, or else scum would know who I am. You did not ask, but X1 is scum. I cannot stress this enough. I seem to remember that people following me blindly won Oddworld with only a single mislynch. When BSL flips scum, are you willing to accept that GLG is town?
@SephMasa: I have no posting restriction; Tandora was mistaken. I said it was selective breadcrumbing; I cannot breadcrumb roles I do not know, so it must be mine. Anything else would be tantamount to a pre-game established system or code. A no-no.
I chose you to choose a lynch target because you exist. It's just as well a reason as any. Let me take this moment to assure you that, no matter what you might think, it is more important that you convince me that your alignment is town than for you to be able to get a good read on me. Both are important, of course.
I give orders because I wish to see how much actual control I can exert. I'm seeing more and more that people must be influenced in ways that make them feel as though they are responsible for what they do. Things can never be simple, can they? Why do people not wish to simply win? Fear, fear of looking foolish, fear that the mob may come for them, or my personal fear, feast upon itself. Some people snicker at that fear. I see their smiles.
Hmm. Concerning your last question, first, I must ask, what would you think if I lied to you? I already know the answer I intend to give, but I wish to know your thoughts so that I may word it properly.
For now, it is appropriate to say that I am comfortable with the direction that you have chosen to take.

why is cello ordering us around like this? and if he does it all the time, how are we supposed to know if he is mafia? do we just do what he says until we decide we're going to lose otherwise?
I will give you a different answer. I choose to give orders because it whips certain towns into shape. This is a town that will ultimately respond positively to my discipline, provided I do not attempt to micromanage too much and properly rely upon the support of my allies. YOU already know that I am not mafia. Everyone else will know that I am not when I deliver all (probably) 4 of your heads to them. I've always found a good rule of thumb to be "Follow Cello until he leads town into 2 mislynches". I'm biased, however.
Why X1 and DH are scum: A Primer to Scum Thought
--------------------------------------------------------------
Starting from Post #91, timestamped 2:39 PM. Let's say DH refreshed at that moment, and it took him about him about 6-7 minutes to read and digest the information present in it and then formulate an opinion, which was the time of his first response. That would mean that he wasn't aware of my #93, where I suggest voting for Nabe, which is reasonable enough. One minute later, he places his opportunistic vote on Nabe. This has been mentioned.
Think about it. In that one minute, he had to 1) reverse his implied opinion that I don't have the authority to command his vote, 2) decide that he was willing to place a vote that he had no intention of sticking to (unless he lied later in post #127) and 3) come to the conclusion that if Nabe is town, I must be scum without already having that impression (or else he would have said as such in post #95. This point is further strengthened from post #127, where DH suggested that my confidence [which indicated to DH that I never considered if Nabe were town] was a factor in his interest in wishing to vote for me, something he probably did not know for post #91).
NO townie does that. I'd be willing to say that DH COULDN'T.
Further, DH decides in #105 to try to explain himself to MK. He basically said that his primary concern was his own safety, in that he thought that I would be able to get everyone to vote for him. If this were so, why the threat that I would be dead next? Why would DH deliberately provoke the person that he felt was dangerous to him at the time? His explanation is clearly a lie.
Post #108 finds DH unvoting, about twenty minutes after his initial vote, and very shortly after X1 arrives on the scene. This could easily have been X1 asking him what the hell he was doing and telling him to back off. There was nothing in-thread that should have prompted DH to change his opinions and therefore unvote. The only thing that X1 said to him was that he should try to question people, which is hardly asking him to unvote. If MK's request for an explanation, and a subsequent theoretical DH reexamination of his own beliefs was the cause, DH would have unvoted in post #105, 7 minutes before his actual unvote. But this did not occur.
I already spoke of DH's hypersensitivity toward Swiss's vote against him, but it bears repeating and a further expansion based upon later events. X1 voted for DH and suggested that he put his vote back on Nabe while quoting DH's question to Swiss. THIS MAKES NO SENSE. And yet, DH says nothing in response. Why get antsy at Swiss? Why did he say nothing to X1? Oh, Nabe said the same thing. Excellent. Then, in #128, DH's sensitivity shines once more when he asks Nabe about his vote on him. Yet, when X1 virtually accuses him of being scum in #158, or worse, an actual vote in #161, the SECOND time this has happened, DH has nothing bad to say about X1. No questions. Nothing.
One detects sub-background noise acoustical signatures by the presence of absence. When there is nothing when there should be something, there is something.
J is town on a practical level because scum would not be given such an easily failed posting restriction. As the player-role selection is random, no mod would want to see their work go to ruin due to some bungler ****ing things up. Town is damaged less so by a single person's ineptitude.
Tandora is town because she was offered what she felt was a genuine solution to J's problem of posting within the restraints placed upon him. This could be an attempt to garner the support of a townie, however, Tandora and J already forged an alliance of sorts before the game's commencement. Such an attempt would be wasted.
I will not comment on my reasoning for InCom's town alignment for now.
Meta-Kirby is not mafia. He has, at worst, that enviable anti-town position called "independent" which can legitimately scum-hunt. I must question his action against DH...while I agree whole-heartedly with his anti-DH sentiments, DH is admittedly a very easy target. Further, his vote on me was unwarranted and useless as Swiss outlines in post #133. It serves no purpose, disproves nothing.
Nabe is town because
I say so it's pretty obvious. A DH scum flip virtually guarantees it. Cello-Rule 11a states "Bussing does not occur on page 1". Besides, the way Nabe signed up wouldn't be an effective bus.
Zen is delusional, but town. He wouldn't stick his neck out the way he did for such a worthless scummate. I don't know why he chose to laugh though.
Town Swiss? Sure, why not.
SephMasa and Xatres can be provisional townies. They should vote for Dark Horse.

Anyone up for DH & Nabe D1 + D2? I think Nabe is trying to paint me connected to DH because he knows DH will flip scum and wants to get something out of it
Irony is entertaining and metallic.
