Any Band U-Pick (Town Wins)

[Nikanor]

A whale has turned you into a wizard. Is this awesome? y/n

Vote: CES.

CSL: Alignments were randomized.

[Nikanor]

V/LA Daily from 7:30 a.m. to ~7:30~ p.m. (read: Evening poster)

I'd ask your continent, but I think the fact that you assume that everyone already knows which time zone you should be in points to you being an American.

[Nikanor]

This is a good idea.
I am the Arrogant Worms, and my song is Carrot Juice is Murder.

[Nikanor]

At least that saves me from actually having to listen to it.

[Nikanor]

My pleasure! I get off on colour coding. I hope you like the scheme?

[Nikanor]

Good shot.
*thumbs up*

[Nikanor]

Never mind, I take back my *thumbs up*. You should have shot the Nickelback fan. >:[

[Nikanor]

Wait, did you seriously just end the day?

[Nikanor]

Ftr, massclaiming band names makes sense because it forces scum to claim something that makes sense within that band's playlist

without giving away the town's power roles

.

CSL, can you please use your head? Even if Furry is fakeclaiming dayvig, how does that make him scum?

[Nikanor]

Oh, I get it now. This game was just an elaborate setup to troll the fuck out of me. Very funny, guys. You can stop voting Furry now though.

[Nikanor]

I think Pine is probtown either way. His pissed-off reaction to your vig seems genuine.

P-Edit: Yeah, Pine is deftown.

[Nikanor]

No Gorilla, he doesn't. You have it wrong, if the roles were based upon the song person A could pick a song that has strong ressembelence to cop just to attain that role. You can confirm it with Slaxx yourself, the songs name and bands choice has NO indication to the persons allignment or role.

No, you are mistaken. While alignments and Boolean-power were assigned randomly, the actual abilities that a power role has is determined by the songs that the band sings, not including the song that you submitted.
The reason for why we're massclaiming this is because if a mafier claims Celine Dion and then wants to fakeclaim doctor, they'll have to find a song by Celine Dion that fits the doctor role. It really limits the scum's fakeclaim potential.

[Nikanor]

My second choice was Stan Rogers, a semi-obscure Canadian folk singer that died in '83. I can come up with songs for just about any PR. Just to screw with you all. Went with Flogging Molly though.

I don't see much more to do with this day until Slaxx reveals whether Furry is a moron verging on my policy/blacklist or full of shit and perhaps clever.

PE: Furry, I find your post 101 to be unduly condescending from someone I've never heard of or played with before. You really don't think I'm capable of being convincing? Your move was STUPID. Regardless of your, Animorph's, or my alignment.

You should play more games with Furry. He's pretty awesome.

[Nikanor]

I'll give you an example if you like; If I were to choose a band that only has 2 songs both being about the police does that mean it's impossible for me to be a doctor? No.

I'm pretty sure that would make it impossible for you to be anything non-investigative, but there's not much point in arguing over it without mod input.

[Nikanor]

No, you are not confirmed town. Get over your ego and play with

the rest of us

everyone but me, cuz I'm ded.

[Nikanor]

I REALLY don't like that self-christening as ConfTown. It just doesn't...smell...right.

[Nikanor]

Hahahahahaha

Unvote. Vote: Nintendoaddict1.

[Nikanor]

@ani: Look at his iso.

[Nikanor]

Oh, sorry Slaxx! I forgot to check for your colour. I'll change 'em to purple on the next copy.

Regfan: What are they going to claim? "I'm Taylor Swift and for a song I picked Should've Said No. My power's song name is Innocent, and that means I turn up town to all investigations."
Your argument that scum will just claim whatever role they have is faulty because it assumes that scum HAVE safe roles to claim.
Not only that, but we are revealing literally no information by doing this. The band and song that you picked have nothing to do with your role, but they can be used to back up claims later.

[Nikanor]

With clear certainty, I can do this:

Vote: ani

For being on both CSL AND Furry's wagon. Furry is most OBVIOUSLY town and you've had not one, but two opportunistic votes. Also, you fail to see the townslip in CSL's first post.

:badposting:

Nintendo seriously needs more votes.

[Nikanor]

Take a look at your alignment and then get back to me.

[Nikanor]

It's because Slaxx told me that if you are lynched today, your role turns into Bulletproof Vigilante. Obviously.

[Nikanor]

GUYS. CANADA DAY IS OVER.
I'm gonna catch up and stuff now.

[Nikanor]

First of all, I know I'm just Nikadorable, but the second-last consonant in my name is an N, not a D (here's looking at you, Reg).

Juls, do you dislike Spoony or something? Being secretive about your main account is not a scum-tell by any means.
Plus, Groundspoony is town.

So what we have now is this:
DH, Reg, CMAR, Pine, CSL, Seraphim, Furry, ToD, Groundsel and CES are all probably town. That's half the people, so if we don't lynch any of these people we'll probably win.
I still think that nintendo is scum, but he's not going to get lynched today, so.
I'm not considering hammering EPM because I don't think that he would have included "I was thinking of PR gambitting but decided not to" in his claim as scum.
Parabollocks is scum for using too many ellipses in 286.

Unvote. Vote: Parabollocks.

[Nikanor]

It's not RVS logic. It's a sound tell. The logic is that a person who uses ellipses in a post is attempting to look hesitant or confused. Scum have much more reason to fake these conditions, so using ellipses is scummy.

[Nikanor]

Wheeeee.

Even if he did spam ellipses as much as you do, Furry, using a million fricking dots in one post would still be scummy.

[Nikanor]

Oooooh loving Nikanor's latest posts. It's always great to see reads based on grammar. It's more important than people think.

You are my soulmate. <3

[Nikanor]

I said more carefully the first time, I'm fairly sure.

Aka "I don't have a case but I'm refusing to say it straight out"

FoS CES

Die.

[Nikanor]

[Powerrox93] might even be a mafioso trying to get an easy target in CES because his posts are so short.

Wow, you think? The best part is that he's FoS'd CES twice since his pacman vote but refuses to remove himself from the super-easy pacman wagon. All you have to do is look at his pacman vote to see that he's scum.

[Nikanor]

Pine was scum? O.o

Vote: Powerrox93.

[Nikanor]

Also

Slaxx, what is a bookie?

[Nikanor]

I wonder if the bookie's ability would still have gone through?
Slaxx, can you answer that?

[Nikanor]

I doubt he'd pick Nintendo.
Powerrox lynch, anyone?

P-Edit: I doubt it, since Pine just flipped red and not "Pop Mafia" or whatever.

[Nikanor]

OH.
What if Furry guarded the same person that Pine shot, and then an SK shot Furry? That would make a lot of sense, especially if Pine wanted to save his bookie and scum can't kill and action in the same night.
Who would Furry have guarded, though?

[Nikanor]

Hmmmm that is pretty weird lol. You may be over thinking it. It probably just meant that two of (SK/Scum/Vig) targetted her and one of (SK/Vig) targetted Pine. That is more likely and chasing down "who would Furry have protected" is not a good way to scum hunt because it is probably not true.

But I love puzzles.

CES, why Gaoth over Powerrox?

[Nikanor]

GUYS
DO I HAVE TO MAKE A CASE ON POWERROX? IS THAT SOMETHING I HAVE TO DO ALREADY?

[Nikanor]

I will gladly colour-code the playerlist, but I'm not gonna bother with a case if you're going to vote for him anyway.

Groundsel

NintendoAddict1

Trumpet of Doom

Cogito Ergo Sum

CSL

CryMeARiver

Regfan

Juls

Seraphim

DemonHybrid

Gaoth

gorilla

diddin

AntB

Parabollocks

Powerrox93

[Nikanor]

I'll do some vote analysis on Powerrox so we can hurry this wagon along.

• First vote: Furry.
  
  • 4th vote on the wagon.
    
  • Votes Furry for not answering his question; this is just an excuse to join the easy wagon.
    
  • Later confirms his vote because Furry faked the daykill.
  
  
• Second vote: NintendoAddict1.
  
  • 7th vote on the wagon.
    
  • Votes Nintendo for ???. I really haven't a clue.
    
  • He was still focused on Furry's daykill in his previous post, but his suspicion of Furry seems to evaporate with the Furrywagon; Powerrox doesn't say a thing about Furry ever again.
  
  
• Third vote: evilpacman18.
  
  • 7th vote on the wagon.
    
  • Votes evilpacman for EPM's Parabollock's vote. Probably just another excuse to hop on an easy wagon.
    
  • Again, he hops off the Nintendo wagon after it halts and gives no further mention of Nintendo for the rest of the game. Doing this once is scummy, but doing it twice is a scumclaim. Powerrox is opportunistic scum.

[Nikanor]

@CES: Yeah, I brought that up already though:

Wow, you think? The best part is that he's FoS'd CES twice since his pacman vote but refuses to remove himself from the super-easy pacman wagon. All you have to do is look at his pacman vote to see that he's scum.

[Nikanor]

VOTE: AntB

This is who we should be wagoning

Actually, powerrox might be scum, AntB is damned opportunistic and reads more scum to me

nintendo is town, trumpet of doom is probably town because of pine raging at furry's fake daykill - very much looks like he faked throwing a fit over a townie being executed.

How about we lynch people in this order:

Powerrox93

Parabollocks

AntB

diddin

gorilla

Gaoth

DemonHybrid

Seraphim

Juls

Regfan

CryMeARiver

CSL

Cogito Ergo Sum

Trumpet of Doom

NintendoAddict1

Groundsel

So Powerrox today, Parabollocks tomorrow, then AntB after them. Sound alright?

[Nikanor]

Also, free FoS to the guy who accuses me of 'lining up lynches'.

[Nikanor]

I've been burned by the whole "X is town because Y, who was scum, acted weird around X," shtick before, so I'm not buying it.
I thought ani was town though, so that's why I'm listing ToD as town.

[Nikanor]

The only problem I have with powerox is that i feel it would be very hard to find a buddy for him. His interactions are few and all he's done is bother CES

Ant lynch might be useful too....

a) He's probably ignoring his scumbuddies.
b) If you said this every game, you'd never lynch scum.

[Nikanor]

Anything else to add, AntB?

[Nikanor]

You are welcome.

[Nikanor]

So we're basically just going to chill until DH gets back in four days, right?

[Nikanor]

VOTE: CES

You're nor even attempting to explain

This is funny even when you don't consider the fact that you have yet to address any of my attacks on you.

[Nikanor]

@Niks points:

Who are you talking to?

1st point 3rd part: You haven't complain that CSL or Ani did the same thing

Deflect more.

2nd point: As CES would've said "Read the reasoning again, only slower this time" (Since you think it's ok for him to do so)

Yeah, you're scum.

3rd point: EPM changed his vote to para in a scummy way

This isn't an explanation.

Hammertime.

[Nikanor]

Why are you assuming that Powerrox is town?
We're not lynching Parabollocks today.

[Nikanor]

I'm not assuming Power is town, I'm assuming you're scum and you know who Pine targetted. You've been awful forceful on the Power lynch and that scares me as I think Power could have easily been a Bookie target as well.

I doubt that Power was bookied.

Also, why are you forcing the quick lynch? We have plenty of time and just about no discussion today.

There has been almost no discussion because I'm pretty much the only one doing anything. As you can see from the massprod, we're not using the time we have to discuss anything.
Do you think that Power is scum or do you think that he is town?

[Nikanor]

I think his actions have been scummy, but I think he is town as he has not defended as hard as maf would and there's no way I'm claiming VT if I'm maf at that point.

Why the doubt?

a) This is a terrible reason for thinking that someone is town. The amount that someone defends himself is just a playstyle tell, not an alignment tell.
b) We both know that fakeclaiming VT is terrible, but that doesn't stop dozens of scum from doing that every day.
c) I was the only one who expressed suspicion of Powerrox d1. Unless the scum thought (for whatever reason) that I would rally the troops and get Powerrox lynched instead of Parabollocks, Powerrox would not have been bookied.

[Nikanor]

Does anyone want to play some hangman while we wait for Powerrox to be hammered?

[Nikanor]

GYPSY

What a nasty word. >_>

You should hammer him, nintendo! I'll give you free car wax if you do.

[Nikanor]

Nintendo: I'm pretty much in the same boat as Regfan. I also had Powerrox and AntB as scum. The only difference between Reg's top four and mine is that I have diddin where he has Seraphim.

That said, I'm going to go re-evaluate my reads. I was not expecting townflips from Power or AntB.

[Nikanor]

Oh neat, iso post number formats were changed again.

nintendo, go read Regfan's iso and let me know what you think.

[Nikanor]

Vote: gorilla.

This is a good lynch. Better than the Parabollocks lynch, even.

[Nikanor]

On 3 town wagons and his wagon is seemingly town driven.

You can't count on a d1 wagon to be accurate, even if it is town-driven. Nintendo is a bad player (he hasn't even realised that gorilla

has

to be a neighborizer, because if Regfan called his buddy a neighborizer and bussed him, Regfan would be lynched the next day when gorilla flipped non-neighborizer scum), so the fact that he's on a bunch of town wagons means little.

[Nikanor]

Unvote. Vote: Gaoth.

I'm not really comfortable with a gorilla lynch right now. A Gaoth lynch would be awesome, though.

[Nikanor]

Nikandor, your vote is incredibly misplaced on Gaoth, he's town as fuck, if you really feel uncomfortable lynching Gorilla today you should be moving your vote to Bowser instead.

Bowser's town, though.
Gaoth's jump on gorilla was really bad. It reeks of scum jumping on a mislynch.
I honestly can't remember why I ever found Parabollocks scummy and I can't find anything in his iso that strikes me as odd.

[Nikanor]

Oh shit I forgot about 662.

Unvote: Vote: Parabollocks.

I'm feeling better about TO.

Unvote.

Deadline's in about six days and I don't like either of the main wagons. I can't recall diddin doing anything important, so

Vote: diddin.

I'm going to stop wagon hopping now. :3
gorilla, can you neighborize me next?

[Nikanor]

^This.
And the wagon isn't from nowhere.

[Nikanor]

I'm not really going to comment any further than this, but I don't think that's a scumslip.

[Nikanor]

Because I am. Why don't you think I'm town?

[Nikanor]

What, you think REGFAN is scum?
Lol.

[Nikanor]

Never said Regfan is scum, he just never explained the vote on me that he said he would explain.

Oh hey you responded exactly how I expected you to respond. With, "His vote is invalid because he didn't explain it."
More diddin votes please.

[Nikanor]

I don't expect you to defend yourself, diddin. I expect you to die.

[Nikanor]

CSL/Bowser has -- now, keep in mind, I know I'm town -- only voted town, with the very last exception of his vote on gorilla, who I'm only sure is town. That's just an incredibly bad track record, even for someone voting by random chance.

CSL/Bowser

[Nikanor]

He posted on the 29th under TwistedSpoony, btw.

[Nikanor]

Not buying it.

[Nikanor]

TO, more content please.

[Nikanor]

When in doubt, cross-replace.

[Nikanor]

Try Katsuki or SpyreX. They were just killed in [REDACTED].

[Nikanor]

I take it that's a scumclaim?

[Nikanor]

I've got to leave soon, so I won't say much, but can you forward the reasons for why you're not suspecting Gaoth, Trumpet?

[Nikanor]

It's probably three left, Spy, and CSL and I are town.
Where is all of the CMAR hate coming from? I still think he's town.
Speaking of which,

Vote: DemonHybrid.

He's pulled a 180 on his opinion on CMAR from yesterday, and CMAR hasn't made any posts since then. This right here is our lynch for today.

[Nikanor]

seriously

what

Okay, lets take a look at some interactions then.

Er?

What part of that do you not get?

Just thought it was a quality VT play.

Bullshit.

Vote: DemonHybrid.

I'm getting town vibes from tarson's catchup posts. She's one of my weaker town reads, but I still don't want her lynched today.

Bowser, what info did you have to reveal? It was already the consensus from d1 that nintendo was town. Specifically, why didn't you wait until tarson had claimed?

Right now I'm thinking DH and one of Seraphim/gorilla are our remaining scums. If we lynch those three, we should be able to win through PoE. If the game's still going, then I'll consider a tarson lynch.

[Nikanor]

I'm happy with my vote.
I'm a Vanilla Townie.
Popcorning Seraphim.

[Nikanor]

Also CSL is like the easiest read ever, Magua. Why people are voting for him is beyond me.

[Nikanor]

Bumping for tarson.

Btw everyone who calls me Nikandor is going to find a very angry axe murderer at their door within the next week.

@Mod: V/LA for about a week.

[Nikanor]

Sorry, just started working again, etc. etc.
I'll lynch any of DH, tarson, Seraphim and gorilla. I don't care about the order. Unless Seraphim flips mafia doctor, in which case I'll be taking DH off the list.
Seraphim, if I were to vote you right now, would you self-hammer?

[Nikanor]

Magua, the mason QT isn't day talk. It opens up after twilight finishes and ends when the night ends whereas the neighborhood QT is always open. I think you're reading too much into the twilight period, from memory great flavor was one of Slaxx's ultimate goals in 00's Band Mafia and the instant flips meant that he didn't have sufficent time to get the best lyrics. Personally I believe the twilight phase was put in to counter that.

gorilla and Gaoth have both said that they recruit in twilight.

[Nikanor]

(Neighborhood QT? What's that?)

I throttled my cat when I read this. I hope you're happy.

[Nikanor]

Okay guys, I have a confession to make. I lied about my role.
My encore song is Jesus' Brother Bob, and I am a super-saint.
I want tarson to hammer me. NOBODY ELSE.

[Nikanor]

booooo you guys were supposed to wagon someone else first.

[Nikanor]

Nikanor: Revenge for Cuthulhufish. =P

Oh come on you know you loved that endgame.

Nikanor and Seraphim did well tbh, I think CMAR didn't give them the effort they deserved, and Diddin was just kind of an easy read this game.

I kinda gave up once it looked like Seraphim was getting lynched too. Four scum lynches in a row isn't fun as scum.

Magua, what would you have claimed in my position at MC?

[Nikanor]

Scum QT.

[Nikanor]

Btw I think the town PRs were fine. The scum could have used something more useful than watcher as our odd-night role (3/7 town PRs couldn't be found by the watcher), but other than that I think it was fine.
