Wow. As a lovable, sexy townie, I think some people here are either extremely creative, or got extremely bastard restrictions. Most of them seem fairly easy to gleam, though the word-count ones are...tough to look at. As the best townie here (certainly not a scum, by the way - have I mentioned that today?)...thoughts for the day! Way too much SSBB...must calm down and read instead...
Anyway, assuming the clock is right (and I interpeted the times correctly), we have ~16 hours until dedline. As the most attractive, sexy, and amazing townie here, I think it's time to respond to people...
To the darling possible townie though not nearly as much of a townie as I am Yakumo -
Perhaps I am overreacting a bit. However, as I did state earlier, he was told about it by Shale already. While you do make a good point that, despite our lovely mod (who, while a mod, is not a townie like myself) saying there would be no scum restrictions in the sign-up topic, he could have changed his mind...mmm. I do admit it is possible. Thinking too far on this subject makes me almost start meta-gaming, which is something I do not want to do. But...it becomes much, much more difficult to detect the scum then - the key would be looking for scumtells, which, while they can still be present, can be masked and harder to go through with the restrictions (like...El-Cid...I...am still having issues understanding him and what he's trying to say). Honestly would strike me as in favour of scum that way. Anyway, as to the point mentioned (why I went after him), what Andrew showed WAS one of those potential scumtells (which, me being a definite townie, I would never do) - inattentiveness. Despite being told by Shale, despite having it in the sign-up topic which he should have read, he still called out asking where it had been stated scum won't have a restriction. Is it a significant scumtell? It depends on the game - here, I'd say it's...at least minor, but possibly a medium one. Multiple notes about it, still asked. It could be a slip-up, yes - but is it scum (like not-me) or town (like me)? We don't know, and it should be something we watch over. Partly, he has been having issues posting a lot of good info like some of the other posters, but this is probably due to his (at least, what we can sense is) post restriction. This is still something to watch out for, and should be noted for the future of this game. Did I come down overly hard? Eh, perhaps a little, but as I said, it's a potential tell - he could be trying to lead people into looking for something completely off-kilter, if he we scum trying to mislead town.
Hopefully, this has served its purpose. I don't have a huge suspicion of Andrew (and the notation was mentioned, "more than what was in Shale's post"), but it's something to watch out for. There's certainly other targets at the moment that require attention.
##Unvote: Andrew
I can see where things can be forgotten (when I was beginning, I did it myself multiple times - I was still a townie then, as I am now, though - remember the acronym from earlier!), but it was noted before, and sticks with scummy play. You do gain from knowing the answer, but you also gain from sowing potential seeds if distrust and doubt among the town, if that would be your intention.
(On a completely, random, unrelated note - it's funny that right after the "now for a message from our sponsors!", we get more selling of puppies >_> Not related to the game, but I found it thoroughly amusing when I read posts #122 and #123 after each other)
Smodgey...uh...I still don't advocate buying our asses off. As has been said before, we don't know what side he's on, and he even said this himself. Granted, he does say he wins with town, but isn't sure with the flavour text? Mmm...yeah. I'm not getting on the puppy train - if he's not even sure what the hell happens with the puppies with regards to his "winning with town" process - why chance it? Alex (Mufasa rest the poor townie's soul - though rest mine better, since I am most assuredly not scum) had an idea of what his powers were ("I gain night powews cumulatively with the numbew of times people say the names of Looney Tunes chawactews. The maximum level is 40, so if someone could copy/paste the name of a Looney Tunes chawactew 40 times in a post I'd appweciate it."). Most of his posts are taken up by puppy calls (though, his content has gone up a lot since last games I've played with him - still, most of his posts are about puppy sales and echoing others - while fervently hyping the puppies I can see, you can still post other stuff that's useful - unless you happen to have a restriction on that as well). While smodge could be told less...again, I go back to the low information - too much potential risk versus not enough known potential benefit. Smodge is at -3 right now to hammer. I am half-tempted to throw up a vote, but want to keep it at the point it's at now. I'd like to hear a bit more from him - is there anything else about the damn dogs you can tell us?
As for Excal...have you ever considered hormone replacement therapy? Yeesh. Women.
Ahem. Yes, even good, awesome, sexy, perfect towniest townies like myself say mean insults. It keeps us from becoming so good we eventually loop around to evil.
...yeah, I...don't have a good read on him. I didn't have a good read yesterday, and today isn't any better (worse, oddly). I don't get much out of the posts, and...this could be a very well-done scum fake, or a really, really unique post restriction (...like everything else). It looks like Excal is going from little church-girl to oratory prophet after each day, but we can't really make anything out this on day 2 yet. Of course, bipolar disorder and other psychiatric diseases present similarly, so ... <_< Honestly, I don't know what to make of him. "Written in the ground by the powers of the gods". Can you be more specific, miss prophet? Physically on the ground (like at the bottom of the post), or metaphorically, or what? Or is this going to be like Harry Potter?
Ok, that's all my brain can handle now. Will work on this later. Lurkers (Tonfa!), I'm watching you! Captain OK, Defender of Townieness, will save the day!
