Marshy didn't respond to my PM. So, he isn't the replacement. He's still next should another open up.

The way I understood the OP was that Megaman would get the power and "by extension, the rest of the mafia" meant that the rest of the mafia would benefit from the powers and help decide what to use.
I'm actually glad you brought this up. I was about to bash you for calling me out on such a stupid concept, but it brings up an interesting idea actually.
So far I thought it was obvious that the set-up is 3 Megaman's, hence, they kill one of us at night and all 3 get our power. Scav said a few times in his first post, "Stop Megaman," in which I took as singular but I misread this:
I never thought of the possibility that it could be a GF/Goon/Goon setup and only one person gets the power.
So now I'm wondering is there 3 Megaman's or is there 1 Megaman and 2... not Megamen? If there is only one Megaman and we kill him, does that end the game? I wonder if Scav is allowed to answer this for us.
I would guess that there is only one Megaman (GF type) with 2 Non-Megamen (Goons) because of Macman's restriction. I wouldn't think that Megaman himself would be able to cast such an odd restriction given Megaman's character doesn't imply any kind of power whatsoever.
To answer your question, Smashman, I also did not know.
Hello. I made a post yesterday. Also, I've been working a lot. I did 52 hours last week.I WONDER WHAT HANDO's BEEN UP TO
NO NOT REALLYThat's pretty much what I got out of your "Long post" and a lot of other posts. Anything else to add?
EH, I DON't THINK ANYONE ELSE SHOULD VOTE. IGGY SHOULD GET A CHANCE TO SPEAK UP. AND I DON'T WANT XSY/HIS REPLACEMENT TO FEEL LIKE HES OFF THE HOOK.Vote: Warlord/Iggy
Um, not at all. The whole point of figuring out who our collective top suspects were was to allow them time to form proper defences and let us go from there on the off chance we get eye-opening new information.So, it's a pretty much decided Warlord lynch? He's at L-2 now.
? No one said a replacement has a clean slate.A replacement does not have a clean slate.
I honestly don't know how Xsyven would have been able to notice that as fast as well. I think everyone is looking too much into a null tell here, and it may be that the only way to see that is that I am lynched and flip town. However, this does not solidify him as Town in any way, shape or form. Just that, in this instance, Xsy nailing macmans restriction correctly was a bit of a lucky call.I'm now fairly certain that Xsyven has the ability that caused Macman's unusual posting restriction. That Xsy would try to conceal that (it seems) could be a town or scum tell, really -- either he sees that the town is getting ready to dogpile and bends the truth for fear of this damning him (bad idea, but not out of the question), or he's mafia, he did it to Mac, and he's lyin' through his teeth.
There's really no evidence for me to be able to comment here, I don't believe that Macman has done anything scummy toDay. I have no idea why Warlord was so hellbent on trying to get Mac to violate the post restriction.And now to do a lot of repeating myself, as I show off some Warlord:
The post that started it all.
If you read that post carefully, he makes it blatantly clear that he knows exactly what he is doing by faking this posting restriction; incriminating Macman. In fact, it's exactly what he's driving at.
And once again, I challenge anyone (Warlord included) to read over that post and actually think of a single pro-town reason to do what he did.
Possibilities:
1) Warlord is town, Macman is mafia -- Warlord would have no reason to be suspicious of Macman. The closest thing we probably have to a cop is dead, and frankly, I don't put the stock in a 100% new player to try to disguise a night-guilty in such a laborious fashion while trying to secretively push the lynch. Think back to your first game and honestly ask yourself if you were thinking so circuitously. I doubt it very much.
Thus there's really no possibility here other than Warlord assuming that Macman's posting restriction = mafia, and that him faking it would make him look even more guilty, and so he did ... whatever the hell you call what he did. But you know what? I don't buy that for a second. You're not supposed to lynch someone on evidence you fabricated for no damn reason. You're supposed to lynch them on evidence that actually exists.
In the first case here at least, I find to be a lot less plausible than the second, since Warlord generated the post restriction. Were he to try to fake the same restriction he made, and was in a mafia, I'd like to think at least someone would have told him how to make a caps lock post. Although there is also the possibility of a noob mafia, lack of communication, or just general lack of thinking to ask someone if they know how to bypass the Caps censor.2) Warlord is mafia, Macman is town -- Ballsiest. Play. Ever. A few reasons I can think of for it, I suppose. If mafia had a stalker or another similar role, there's a chance they went after Mac and saw him as threatening enough to risk one of their own (the newest player) to try to get him lynched. I consider that unlikely.
There's also the possibility of Warlord making an unconsulted move that was as stupid as it looks from a mafia POV. This I consider far more likely. However, I do concede that the more I think about it, the less yield i can really see for a mafioso attempting that -- even a brand-new one.
3) Warlord is mafia, Macman is mafia -- Just as ballsy. The only reason I can think to do that is that the entire "oops I suck" was manufactured and that Macman has an important mafia role (Megaman, perhaps). The idea being to get Warlord lynched and clear Mac in the process. Sounds ridiculous? It is. It's the only reason I can really think of for this to happen of the two of them were in a shared allignment on speaking terms (cult, mafia, whatever), and it just doesn't click. Draws too much attention I consider this the absolute least likely scenario. Of any listed.
I'd honestly say that this would still loom pretty convincing even with knowing Warlord being able to put a restriction on, presuming it had no side affect at least.4) Warlord is indy, Macman is town. Oh baby, yeah, I can see this one. Warlord seems, if not mafia, an almost definite indy, to me. And his gambit lends to a very clear interpretation of his actions -- lyncher and lyncher target.
Honestly, this is pretty much why I instantly offered to role claim, as seeing what my role actually was, and how Warlord was playing just doesn't make any sense. It's possible that T/T is the scenario here, I certainly haven't gotten any scummy vibes from Macman so far. The only thing that has really bothered me, while reading through, was when he said he was 90% sure that this ability was mafias. But I think that only really got to me as I knew that the role came from me, and Evil Eye also shed some light on a Mad Scientist being a town role as well in his game.To get back to Warlord, his stunt is exactly the kind of thing I'd expect from a newbie lyncher, if they were the type of player to pull a stunt at all -- which Warlord quite clearly is. This is probably the most likely possibility that I've listed, and the most likely one I can think of.
5) Warlord is town, Macman is town -- If this is the case, we've been waiting, what, a week for Warlord to explain how his manoeuver in any way resembles a pro-town manoeuver. In any way resembles anything that could possibly benefit the town. By trying to manufacture evidence against someone else, if that person were to be town, Warlord has set up two mislynches the mafia can coast right on through.
I know people have discussed this until they were blue in the face, but I want everyone to really think that over and realize how truly, monumentally stupidly antitown Warlord's move was, and how very unlikely it is that a town-minded player would do such a thing. Really think that through. Can you ever see yourselves doing such a thing? Come on, now! Use your heads.
Again, this is something that I just can not explain. Nor can I explain how Warlord was so eager for everyone to lynch him D1, just to see him flip town; which was supposed to suddenly make Macman guilty for also posting in caps? wat.Also, Warlord's striking back at me reeks of OMGUS. In his first retaliation post, he somehow tries to use the fact that I tried to steer discussion away from posting restrictions as evidence that I was "defending Macman". When called on the fact that other people had already said so before I did, he offers this response:
Again here, The only explanation that I can offer is just tremendously stupid play. I'm sorry if that sounds like a broken record, but I've been replaced into a pretty terrible situation.Well, Rockin voting for smashman was a blatant pressure vote. I didn't say anything at the time to avoid, y'know, deflating the pressure of said vote. Now, you could argue Warlord doesn't know about pressure votes, and I might agree with you. My point here is only to illustrate how desperate he is to get the attention anywhere but on himself.
Look at that. Look at that. Does that seem townie to you at all? He admits that his strategy was to make himself a townie by pretending to be the victim of a night action. Um, at the expense of a possible townie that actually was!? Who you then tried to incriminate by that very same token!?! There is absolutely no townie explanation for this behavior!
I will flip town, and based on the fact that I am the one that gave the post restriction, if you still believe that you'd get the most information from lynching me, I'd have to say go for it. However, I'm not too sure at this point what it would show, other than a lynch went awry due to some very anti-town play by a townie.Now, which one do I think we should lynch? Warlord.
I think if Warlord were to flip as an indy lyncher, this would clear Macman.
I think if Warlord were to flip as an indy cultist, this would give us a great deal of people to look at on D2. Plenty of people seem to have outright dodged really investing in the Warlord debate, and that's a real shame, because it was discussion with some real meat to it. I mentioned Rockin earlier, and I think if Warlord were to flip cult, Rockin would be someone to look at during the Night and on D2.
I think if Warlord were to flip scum I'd again be interested in Rockin and other dodgers.
Lastly, if Warlord somehow flips town, I still think we'd have a good deal of information to deal with, just based on the enormous paper trail of discussion that has used him as a fulcrum.
Correct, which is why I'm doing the best I can to make up for some pretty terrible play.A replacement does not have a clean slate.
j/kThe one, big glaring whole in all of this
I agree, and don't blame you for coming to those conclusions. I can not think of a reason why a town alligned player would ever want to push so hard for Macman right at the start of this game. Not only that, his plan of trying to incrimidate Macman by posting the same as his doesn't seem to be able to be fruitful in any way, unless it was in an attempt to get bus'edThe allignment I'm not sure about.
Instead you have a clear indication that Warlord orchestrated this thing from the get-go. He slaps the restriction on Macman, then accuses him of faking it because ho ho it's actually WARLORD that has the restriction! And tries to use this to incriminate Macman. Why? What's the percentage?
I know there wasn't much more I could expect, but these actions still stand out to me, and they look even worse in lieu of the revelation that Warlord pushed this entire thing from the ground up.
Every night I must use it, but there's also one other thing I forgot to mention, I can't target the same person twice.Yes, his claim seems very solid, but it doesn't sound like a Town role.
@Iggy: How many times can you use this power? Also, I think you're Independent.
I don't doubt that your power is legit. My problem is trying to line up both your abilities as Grenade Man and Warlord's irresponsible behavior as Town. Neither of the two fit.Every night I must use it, but there's also one other thing I forgot to mention, I can't target the same person twice.
And I agree that nothing about how Warlord was playing makes any sense for how a townie should use this role.I don't doubt that your power is legit. My problem is trying to line up both your abilities as Grenade Man and Warlord's irresponsible behavior as Town. Neither of the two fit.
How could your abilities benefit the Town? I can't think of a single reason. It seems as if the only thing you ability does is bring needless attention from both sides. Idk.
At this moment, I am more comfortable with a Xsyven lynch than an Iggy lynch. If we take into consideration that Iggy's powers are legit then Megaman won't kill him tonight seeing as that his power sucks ***. We could use him in our scumhunt if he is indeed Town.
That's okay, cause anyone who we choose to possibly lynch first has a chance to nameclaim/roleclaim as well as put up a defense (however, nameclaim/roleclaim privilage may not be given to the 2nd victim in line...as we want to keep those claims as tightly lipped as possible) >>Alright, I'm reading a bit now to catch up, I've only just started the top of page 6(40 ppp), so I figured I'd put this out there now. I can explain to a decent extent what Warlord seemed to be going for, but it'll also involve me being forced into claiming, but that's better than a mislynch at this point, so if a few people would like me to, speak up while I'm catching up.
I'm going to say this now, and I'll make it clear

The power he says can do everything except limit post or inactivity. who says it can't stop a person from using his powers...or worse...their scumhunting abilities? I know this is probably stretching it, and I don't think we really need to focus the list, but I want to make a point to just how indie his role is. >>I HAVEN'T BEEN GIVING ANY VALUABLE POSTS CUZ I HAVEN'T REALLY FELT LiKE IT. ESPECIALLY SINCE I HAVE MY STRONG SUSPICIONS OF XSY AND WARLORD. AND I DIDN'T REALLY FEEL LIKE GIVING MY THOUGHTS ON OTHER PEOPLE.
THAT's IT.
I think you've gravely misinterpreted me. I can only place post restrictions, and if the players fail to meet the restriction I set, then the negative effect befalls them. My power isn't anything like that.The power he says can do everything except limit post or inactivity. who says it can't stop a person from using his powers...or worse...their scumhunting abilities?
