The War to End All Freaktowns: GAME OVER

[Mastermind of Sin]

I'm in favor of doing a popcorn-style claim after the scummy people start.

[Mariyta]

We should wait to see if there is any more dissent.

i guess i'd better be the one to speak up. I have to admit, although most of what he says is total BS, Jdodge is right on this. Really we should have the scummiest players claiming first, and realistically, that should be those with largest BW's. As such, that means Scope and Mariyta should be going first.

Um, since you clearly weren't paying attention, the dissent he was speaking of was to whether I should go first or not...and though you seem to be trying to add dissent, you were simply agreeing with him.

Now, does everyone want me to claim what I have on me only? Or am I to claim what I need as well?

[Kinetic]

What exactly would item claiming entail? Would we claim all the items we currently have? Would we claim what items come from out store? Would we claim the items we need? I'm a little confused as to where item claiming begins and ends...

[Mastermind of Sin]

I think we should just claim what items we have right now.

[Battle Mage]

Mariyta-don't try and patronise me, when it is in fact YOU who has misunderstood. I believe i said that the most suspicious people should claim first. As K-Scope has more votes than you, i am saying that he should go first. Thats dissent.
Of course, in light of these recent comments, i'd be fairly happy for either of you to go first.
Just please pay attention in future.

really? was it one of your teddy bears?

[IH]

Not everyone has teddy bears on their bed BM.

Also are we just randomly claiming names?

[Mastermind of Sin]

That was merely because it didn't really matter at that point. This time, I think small things can be garnered from doing it this way.

Could you explain what a popcorn-style claim is?

[Mariyta]

BM, you said KScope

AND

Mariyta. Not KScope then Mariyta. Big difference in meaning there. Anyway, I'm going first. I dropped the blackberries last night, and picked up the purse today. That's all I have on my person.

Popcorn style is one person goes, and picks the next. To make BM happy, I'm going to pick K-Scope to claim items next.

[Albert B. Rampage]

What's the point of knowing what item everyone has if you don't know the effects of it ?

BM is relatively happy. lol

@IH-Jdodge does.

@Albert-such a claim can be useful so that people with items that go well with other items, can find the items they need. Plus it cements people to one story early on. Only issue is that it may reveal role information (who owns which shop etc.)

you think items is enough?

[xyzzy]

contentful

Are we talking about the same game?

I'm for the item claim. And popcorn is yummy.

[ibaesha]

xyzzy: Ask TSS, he claims there was contentful stuff in kscope's posts.

[Kinetic]

I'll tell you the honest truth, I really don't like this item claiming thing.

First, there is not even a consensus on WHAT we are claiming. There are three possible item lists we can claim as I see it. The items we are currently holding, the items we can get randomly from our stores, and the items we need. Some people are saying we are only claiming the items that we are holding, others are saying other things.

Second, no one has presented a case where this HELPS town. Are we going to item claim every day? Even if we did, the scum still have plenty of time to make up a story. From what I have read, this might help the scum by letting them pick up items that they know other players need or holding items they can't use just so someone else doesn't use it.

Third, how do we know that the scum don't have some sorts of abilities that require them to know what items someone has or needs, and can use some power roles for it? What if scum need certain items from people and decide when to kill the based on that knowledge.

I'm sorry, I really don't like this idea, nor the way people are just saying "Its a good idea" without explaining why. I've seen some vague explanations, but that is it. Until some of these points are addressed, I can honestly say I will be avoiding a mass item claim at this time.

[the silent speaker]

He posted votes and disagreement with people. I call that content. It makes for short posts, but not everyone can be as tldr as I am.

[Mariyta]

Here's a random thought for ya. If you look at page 5, at the locations of K-Scope, Ibby and MoS, they make a good start to a song...

On an island
In the Rain
Sleeping with the Godfather's Daughter

Stay tuned for more to come.

[IH]

I meant Items in my above post

[Blight]

Blight, if you could elaborate on what about my post gave you a bad vibe, that'd be good. Just do me a favour and dont suggest that it was WIFOM, because as surprising as it may sound in a game that has so far been taken so seriously by all, i was actually kidding. lol

I guess it's more of a feeling than anything else. I just got a bad feeling from that statement. Usually when someone comes out and suggests two people working together (scum buddies), especially on day 1, it gives me an uneasy feeling. I know it's not a strong case, and you may have been joking, but it gave me an uneasy feeling. That's it.

There's this new invention, called useful content. You should totally try it out!

Items on the ground:

Nothing

[Mastermind of Sin]

We should not say what items we need to collect, because nothing is gained by that and it only helps the scum.
