You say right here there's only 3 people who would spot it!!!Spot doesn't mean we were looking. Anyone can spot a crumb.
Why did you say this??? You suggest theres something which the killer, the victim and the person with information about the killer which will help them spot that crumb. What is this? Is it information about the identity of the killer? If not what is it??There are only three people in the game who would spot that crumb.
The killer, the victim, and the person with mod confirmed information ABOUT said killer.
A CRUMB. ANY CRUMB. Not THAT crumb in specific. **** you're dense.You say right here there's only 3 people who would spot it!!!
I will re-state our information again.Why did you say this??? You suggest theres something which the killer, the victim and the person with information about the killer which will help them spot that crumb. What is this? Is it information about the identity of the killer? If not what is it??
No but when you say specifically "that crumb" I assume that you mean "that crumbA CRUMB. ANY CRUMB. Not THAT crumb in specific. **** you're dense.
Vote: DeGreyThere are only three people in the game who would spot that crumb.
The killer, the victim, and the person with mod confirmed information ABOUT said killer.
This appears to be the post in question. I think the bolded is very important in this post as it would be connected to the red.First off, I believe DeGrey's claim. I believe that someone's win condition is to terminate a certain person. Put him as leaning town, at least.
But why not? As I just said, it sounds like the terminator's role, based on what you said, is to NIGHT KILL his target. Wouldn't that mean he couldn't win if I (again, assuming I was that role) was lynched?We wanted you alive because we did not want to see a lynch on you occur yesterday, and considering the choice was between you and SK, we didn't want you on the lynch block.
I'm glad you're correctly calling me town and all, but why would I even bother crumbing that role if I knew that even if a doctor picked up on it and protected me, I could still be killed and cause the indy to win?I saw the crumb and surmised that you suspected you yourself were the target, which you would likely infer based on your role, which is probably a protagonist from the movie.
You saw that one of the two wagons near the end of D1 was us. You wanted us alive so you could fulfill your win condition N1.There's absolutely no reason you would crumb like that if you thought the killer would spot it. If nobody pointed it out, you'd just die in the night. That's senseless. What would we gain as the supposed Indy by pointing this out?
By the same token, why would the victim crumb that information?For what purpose would the killer crumb that information, exactly?
If you suspected it was the Terminator, you're either the person who thinks they're the victim, the killer himself, or someone in the middle of a very ballsy gambit.
Quoting this because as X1 and I already pointed out:We had no idea until I spotted your crumb. Neither Ryker nor I has seen the Terminator, we had to google it to see if it even involved time travel.
@Degrey: this would normally fall under "flavor speculation" but since your role is pretty much based around it, I wanted to ask you something.
Have you been thinking of a character that can travel through time, is intent on killing one specific person, and is powerful enough to go through doctor protections? And is most likely an indy? Think of some popular shows/movies/etc. that have some aspect of time travel on them, and which one would you say most likely fits for this?
I'm hoping you at least have a guess, I don't see any anti-town implications from guessing, so I don't see why you would refuse to answer (like you often do for stuff)
I just want to see if your guess matches mine.
Then what was your idea, if neither of you had seen the movie, and yet you randomly claimed the specific word "terminate" set you off that much? I would be willing to pass much of this off as silly wifom, but this is a blatant contradiction.I've got an idea.
Except now everyone in the game has that info, thanks to you. You're not the only one who caught it. X1 and I had talked about it after your claim, and we both came to the conclusion of the Terminator independently. In addition, I put the "crumb" in there myself when X1 wasn't there, and he pointed it out by himself in the QT when he was doing catchup reading. I also wouldn't be surprised if Kawaii Kangaroo (pretty sure it was them) spotted it, since they directly quoted my post with the "crumb" right after I made it. Anyone could have spotted it, except the fact that you claim neither of you have seen it makes you LESS likely to have spotted it than others.There are only three people in the game who would spot that crumb.
The killer, the victim, and the person with mod confirmed information ABOUT said killer.
I can see this, I guess. Still, why would you point out the crumb, instead of just stating you have a townread on us for WHATEVER reason? Also, how does our play since the crumb "make sense" as the role we claimed?I have answered it several times.
Very often, word choice is the essence of a bread crumb.
TERMINATE is a very specific word to choose. I picked up on it, we looked into if the Terminator would make sense, and we decided it was a Town crumb, because CRUMBING AS THE INDY WOULD MAKE NO SENSE AT ALL.
Really? I can't find your claim, but I thought it said "we assume Indy" without mentioning two killing factions specifically.We're told there's more than one killing faction in the game, and that one can bypass protectives, and hunts a certain person, but we're not told who.
We're told NOTHING else.
Having this information, it was of course a subject in my mind, and having a word THAT unusual in the same sentence that talked about our information was a VERY EASY thing for me to see.
It certainly would bring his attention to the "crumb" mroe than it would to other people. I know that I personally am always more inclined to read and understand posts that are directed at me, or are about me, because they're easier to relate to, since I more easily remember who I am and what I've done.This appears to be the post in question. I think the bolded is very important in this post as it would be connected to the red.
.jpg do you think that Grey wouldn't of noticed your statement given the close proximity of his name and word "claim"?
I agree that PLSD is a great vote. I want more input on DG from others, and more from DG, before I make my final decision.I'm disinclined to suspect Grey here based on just the info you have provided.
Based on that, I'll keep my vote on PLSD until I see his game reads after catching up and weigh that against Nich as a whole.
We wanted you alive because we did not want to see a lynch on you occur yesterday, and considering the choice was between you and SK, we didn't want you on the lynch block.
Something I forgot to mention here: remember his restriction where he MUST be on the lynch of each Day? If he were the terminator, it would make sense to have that restriction, to make sure that if the character he was looking after WAS lynched, that he would have taken part and thus (I guess) fulfilled his wincon.But why not? As I just said, it sounds like the terminator's role, based on what you said, is to NIGHT KILL his target. Wouldn't that mean he couldn't win if I (again, assuming I was that role) was lynched?
I'm just going to point out that you're wrong here Zen (this is Vand btw).You've been buddying me when have yet to prove myself as town. You knew I didn't have a guilty likely because you know Ran isn't guilty. I'll let you know for sure when I'm done reading.
X1 and I have finally discussed it, and we WANT you to point out where you think you saw our crumb. We hid it well, so we'd be surprised if you actually found it. I don't care if you think this will out us as a powerful PR.
You're both morons.I believe you're being hunted by the Terminator, who is our killer after a specific target with the ability to bypass protectives.
I believe that the specific word choice of "terminate" indicated you agree with my suspicions.
No, that is paranoia and complete WIFOM. You're trying to punish this slot for good play. We caught a crumb and did our damnedest to save the resulting town read without outing him as what he is. Your crumb isn't that hard to find when we're looking for literally anything out of the ordinary. Combine it with the "we believe Degrey's claim" that came up two different times and the line about it making perfect sense for our hypothetical indy to have bulletproof and it's not very hard to figure out that you think you're the target. Combine that with a google search to see that time travel is a corner stone of the Terminator universe (that's a quote from the first result for "Terminator time travel") and we reached the conclusion rather easily.See why I wanted you to elaborate? There are some townie things about you, but also some scummy things about you. Doesn't it make perfect sense for me to think you ARE the Terminator after this?
Fair enough, I will actually sit down and ISO you sometime tomorrow when I'm not exhausted from a concert.Why all the hate on me?
July, please start looking into like... the most recent 500 posts if you think I'm being cautious with my reads -_-
I am legitimately V/LA. It's a long weekend and I'm back in my home town.
So SK's governor-like power has been demonstrated, which goes back to the question of whether or not DeGrey's similar claim is legit.votecount:
The lynch has been reversed, and D1 starts again!
Day one begins!
Deadline is set for Tuesday, August 9th, at 3:00 p.m. EST
With 13 alive, it takes 7 to lynch.
Good luck!
Much more than the actions pointed out by Nich and DeGrey yesterday, this deff reads as a town read to me. If .jpg was scum they would have no reason to question DeGrey's jump off of them after the crumb DeGrey claimed to find, and instead could have rode it to avoid a lynch toDay. They chose not to do this and questioned DeGrey's reasoning instead, and thus took the rode of active scumhunting rather than passively accepting DeGrey's defense and sliding through the Day on it.X1 and I have finally discussed it, and we WANT you to point out where you think you saw our crumb. We hid it well, so we'd be surprised if you actually found it. I don't care if you think this will out us as a powerful PR.
This post gets to the heart of the issue here. DeGrey says they see a crumb and thus push HARD against .jpg's lynch in the previous Day phase. But the issues are:That was the worst answer ._.
._. ._. ._. ._. ._. ._. ._. ._. ._. ._. ._. ._. ._. ._. ._. ._. ._. ._. ._. ._. ._. ._. ._. ._. ._. ._. ._. ._. ._. ._.

And it's exactly what I thought. And it was also pretty obvious.
That "crumb" I left is exactly what I thought you'd caught. The thing is, nowhere did I say *I* was the target. When I saw your claim, I was considering what character out of what movie/tv show/etc. could possibly be a killer focused on a single target, capable of going through doctor protections. Doesn't the Terminator make perfect sense? That's why I also said I wouldn't be surprised if this Indy (Terminator) was bulletproof as well as capable of going through protections.
How does the fact that we arrived at the same conclusion mean that I'm the one?
MOST IMPORTANTLY
Isn't the terminator's win condition to NIGHT KILL this person?
Why
WHY
would you desperately want to leave this person (me, you thought) alive, if that were the case?
Unless, of course, (you should see where I'm getting at) you yourself are the Indy you mentioned.
See why I wanted you to elaborate? There are some townie things about you, but also some scummy things about you. Doesn't it make perfect sense for me to think you ARE the Terminator after this?
A CRUMB. ANY CRUMB. Not THAT crumb in specific. **** you're dense.
I will re-state our information again.
We're told there's more than one killing faction in the game, and that one can bypass protectives, and hunts a certain person, but we're not told who.
We're told NOTHING else.
Having this information, it was of course a subject in my mind, and having a word THAT unusual in the same sentence that talked about our information was a VERY EASY thing for me to see.
Oh and also note the italicized, where they say that they do not know the punishment for not being on a successful lynch but here, in their #1959 they know it:Talked to Raziek and we are going to "use" our ability now.
Our role is Hermione Granger, Town Know-It-All.
We have a restriction and some mod confirmed knowledge.
Mod confirmed knowledge: There is someone with the ability to bypass protectives who is out to kill a certain person. My advice? If you think there's someone who could be traveling through time to kill you, then lie about your flavor. Be imaginative. That, or we could simply not claim flavor. We're assuming an indy.
Role Restriction: You MUST be on a successful lynch every day because you know it all. If not there's an allusion to how ashamed we would be and that we would never be able to show our face again. We do not know what the punishment for not being on a successful lynch is and No Lynch doesn't count.
So yeah, awkward flips are to be expected when it comes to crunch time. I'll give you a scum list in my next post. Keep in mind that I (Ryker) have only skimmed half of the last 5 pages because I was busy this weekend. Raziek is actually more current than me right now.
It's the loss of their one shot ability, which they also failed to mention in their claim, and which they don't seem to have a name for. I even asked them for the name of it, but once again they ignored me.****, ****, ****, ****, ****
Okay, we caught a crumb from .JPG. One we are not willing to out (Raziek actually caught it, congrats to him). His play after we picked up on it matched. WE ARE SUPER UNWILLING to lynch him after seeing it. We can and will waste our time turner ability to save him and that will leave us going into Day 2 with no lynch Day 1. The penalty for breaking our restriction is the loss of our one shot ability.
Well that makes sense as to why first you said it forces a no lynch for D1 by skipping to future (forward travel) and then say you go back in time and save him like he's Sirius Black (reverse travel).Also, before it comes back to bite us in the ***, no, we don't have that psuedo governor ability. That was made up to make sure .JPG wasn't lynched. Let's go ahead and get all the bull**** out of the way at once.
Meh, my vote and sentiments remain where they are.I want you to confirm that you're certain you want me (Raziek) to do this.
Then what would happen to him? Generally roles who's win cons are unachievable, and they know that they are unachievable, turn into VTs.But why not? As I just said, it sounds like the terminator's role, based on what you said, is to NIGHT KILL his target. Wouldn't that mean he couldn't win if I (again, assuming I was that role) was lynched?
The same reason you would crumb in any situation. To refer back to later if you were in the hot seat to show that you had been setting up for this claim since that point. You thought you were being smart and no one would notice, but since someone did, you are automatically assuming indy when you have nothing but WIFOM to support it.I'm glad you're correctly calling me town and all, but why would I even bother crumbing that role if I knew that even if a doctor picked up on it and protected me, I could still be killed and cause the indy to win?
Dude, you're even defending us with WIFOM. Put that **** away, unlike me and Swiss, you aren't good at it.You saw that one of the two wagons near the end of D1 was us. You wanted us alive so you could fulfill your win condition N1.
However, the thing that's giving me pause right here is the fact that you even stated in-thread that you saw a crumb from us, and used that fact to try to stop the lynch. If you WERE the indy, you could just find other reasons to fight my lynch, and shift it over to someone like SK.
Hurr durr.There's a lot of wifom involved, but that doesn't mean I shouldn't pursue this right now. If you haven't guessed, I (Asdioh particularly) am trying to get a definitive town or scum read on you so I can move on with life and focus on other things.
Repeating yourself. Answer is farther up.By the same token, why would the victim crumb that information?
Read the post yourself and tell me it doesn't strike you as off. Then tell me you couldn't have found out enough to reach the same conclusion with a simple google search.Quoting this because as X1 and I already pointed out:
Then what was your idea, if neither of you had seen the movie, and yet you randomly claimed the specific word "terminate" set you off that much? I would be willing to pass much of this off as silly wifom, but this is a blatant contradiction.
We're not the ones who asked it to be outed for the whole world to see. I'd have flat out refused to show you, but I've been gone since SK was hammered.Except now everyone in the game has that info, thanks to you. You're not the only one who caught it. X1 and I had talked about it after your claim, and we both came to the conclusion of the Terminator independently. In addition, I put the "crumb" in there myself when X1 wasn't there, and he pointed it out by himself in the QT when he was doing catchup reading. I also wouldn't be surprised if Kawaii Kangaroo (pretty sure it was them) spotted it, since they directly quoted my post with the "crumb" right after I made it. Anyone could have spotted it, except the fact that you claim neither of you have seen it makes you LESS likely to have spotted it than others.
Why does that matter at all to any party? This point is simply WIFOMed away. Either we were town and we were legitimately concerned that you would be lynched. Mafia looking for points. Or Indy looking to set themselves up to say I would never have outed the crumb as an Indy. What purpose does this question serve and what answer will satisfy it?I can see this, I guess. Still, why would you point out the crumb, instead of just stating you have a townread on us for WHATEVER reason? Also, how does our play since the crumb "make sense" as the role we claimed?
Raziek ****ed up. It says that there is "at least one" killing faction and then described it as being able to bypass protections and that it is hunting a player.Really? I can't find your claim, but I thought it said "we assume Indy" without mentioning two killing factions specifically.
However, the specific word "faction" MIGHT (this may be reaching) mean that there is another entire mafia faction, not an individual, that is hunting a specific person. In that case, I'm not really sure what the flavor would be off the top of my head. And if it really meant more than one person, I would guess two mafia teams of 2.
Unrelated, but that would explain Ranmaru's doublevote as a scum role![]()
No, because it's all WIFOM.Anyway. Does what I'm saying make sense? I'm debating so much right now whether you're the indy or not. There are some things pointing against it: claiming out of the blue, for example. If you were the indy looking for a specific character, you just warned them against claiming. This is MAJORLY against your wincon, and a MAJOR town tell to me. I just don't see scumRyker doing something so stupidly obvious.
On the other hand, you DESPERATELY tried to save me from being lynched, while mentioning the crumb you spotted, which made me realize right away you were talking about the word "terminate." Depending on your response, I would be able to get a more solid read on you. If the "crumb" you spotted was some inane thing (since we really haven't crumbed anything) that pointed us out as being x power role, I would immediately have taken you as town and denied that it was a crumb at all. However, since you pointed out what I expected, that leads into all sorts of wondering what your motivations were in saving us from the lynch, and wondering about the inconsistencies such as having an idea of who the indy was earlier, but then suddenly not knowing until you "spotted" our crumb.
This is good WIFOM.But while we're wifoming, DG, if you are the Terminator, feel free to NK us because we're not who you hope we are![]()
You're tunneling, a lot. You know that, right?Reaaaaaaaaach
Seriously, your case is held together with chewing gum and paper clips. You need to get yourself some duct tape.Well that makes sense as to why first you said it forces a no lynch for D1 by skipping to future (forward travel) and then say you go back in time and save him like he's Sirius Black (reverse travel).
Although that's honestly not the disturbing part, the disturbing part is that it made so much sense with your role claim that it went unquestioned for the most part. And you clearly have a knowledge of Harry Potter to be able to make up that flavor explanation on the spot.
So thank you, this really enforces the fact that your claim is shady and could very well be faked.
Kirk time travels plenty in the original. It would be obvious if he was from the movie, doubt sides with the TV series. I don't care about his bumbling with the picture.@Grey: I still don't understand how Ran not saying it was 2009 is a correct response to you. I also don't know how if he only saw Kirk's face (as he has stated) that he would say that Kirk's shirt was orange.
Btw, does Kirk wear an orange shirt in the 2009 movie?
Vote TBlock@DeGrey: Would you lynch T-Block?
