McNoble:Based on this, I've got some hypotheses:
First that the ones who get inspects are the ones who are Arch-Conservative on the issue being inspected. If so, either Tiruin has the Social Inspect, or we lynched out that inspect D1. I find the latter more plausible.
I find this plausible, and your double-vote thing makes it moreso. I concur that Pranz probably had the Social inspect, which means
Tiruin is the odd-one out, and probable 3rd party.
On the other hand, an inconsistency: my inspection ability is not one-shot. It specifically says I can use it every night. My kill
is one-shot.
Second that some or all of the roles are built over actual candidates.
I'm guessing that Bookthras is Mullah Ricky, based on the fact that Santorum is best known for being a religious extremist and weak on civil liberties, but appeals to blue-collar voters with a side order of economic populism.
I feared as much, from the flavour. I try not to get any on me. But no names are mentioned.
I'm gonna go out on a limb and say that NativeForeigner is Stephen Colbert, based on nothing more than the fact that he's a media personality who had no opinion on the issues before he made up his fakeclaim.
That'd be actually really funny. Though the uncoordinated
SuperPAC and the arch-arch-conservative thing make me think that maybe it's Tiruin who is the Colbert in our midst. Not that it's really important, though, but we all know Colbert is actually a liberal in disguise. He's a doctor in
fine arts, for cryin' out loud.
De gustibus non est disputandum
Bachmann is a marginally competent version of Palin.
a) Quit talkin' in Mexican already! and b) I think the word you were looking for is "loonier", not "competent". Or you're using a different dictionary than I.
Tiruin:Bookthras: So you're alright with the other liberal out there? Going by the name of McNoble?
As noted by the moderator, issues and alignment are not strictly correlated, so his being Social Liberal does not make him an actual liberal infiltrator. If we get any evidence that he's an actual liberal, then yes, he should hang, but not exclusively based on his social views (not that we should share them or excuse them, though).
Dariush:
Actually I am Social Super-Conservative, Economic Super-Conservative, Religious Conservative. I attempted to shift Social, but was roleblocked.
Well, it so happens that I can double-vote anyone who I have inspected who is far enough away from me on religious issues. Let's try to see if you are one of them, shall we?
Dariush, Dariush. Moderator: updated vote count, please.
You question me about my double-vote power while you kept one in secret? Huh? Also, you are trying that out on Mii who claims Conservative?
I questioned you about it precisely because I wanted to understand whether it worked like mine or not; it didn't, so I let it go. I didn't claim it D1 because it didn't
work D1; I needed to inspect someone first (and that inspectee needs to be far enough away from me) for it to have an effect. I claimed it as soon as it made sense to claim it (when I used it).
I used it on Mii to document how it worked, and to prove I was telling the truth about it. One vote on her wouldn't get her lynched anyway, and had she panicked about it, it'd be an interesting reaction to note, but she didn't. I don't care whether she
claims conservative (after all, so do Dariush and you), but I don't have a strong scum read on her at the moment.
Unvote Mii.ToasterAudience members: Please don't vote for Dariush, as he is dirty hippie liberal commie scum! A vote for Dariush is a vote for anarcho-communism! Vote for anyone else; even Tiruin is better than Dariush!
It's no big deal. Even if the Goatfucker's union gets its way, they can only protect the obvscum for today, and the lynch goes to the next most voted, which is why we should vote
Tiruin (the next scummiest, in my mind) in case that comes to happen. As it is now, however, Dariush is the most likely to hang.
Dariush:Let's begin with the fact that two town rolecops in a 10-person game is... how would you call it... oh yes, fucking imbalanced.
It's not role cops. It's issue cops. I get to look at the stance on a single issue on two people per night. I can't see the rest of the issues, or your role name or powers. That's not a role cop, is it?
Also, there's Book's scummy behavior from D1, which I've mentioned back then.
[citation needed]Also, how do you know that Book's doesn't reveal power roles?
I
claimed what my ability did on my first D2 post.
I can prove I investigated him, by using the double-vote thing I mention above, as it only works on those whose stance I directly know. See: Vote Mii. Vote Mii. Next vote count, I'll have voted you only once, but Dariush twice; therefore I did in fact inspect him. Unfortunately, it doesn't prove I'm actually telling the truth about my result, but that's up to you people to make your minds about, weigh it with the rest of the evidence, and so on.
Yes, of course. And we should believe you... why, exactly? Since this is a bastard game, even assuming only one vote on Mii passes, there's a crapton of things that could influence it - you could unvote her once via PM, you could only have a single doublevote, hell, you could only doublevote people whose nicknames start on 'D'. Not cool, scum, not cool at all.
I explicitly said you should "weigh it with the rest of the evidence and so on." Whether you believe it or not is not up to me, all I can do is present my argument. But yeah, maybe I do have a double vote on those whose name starts with 'D'. Sounds very plausible indeed.
Regarding the extension, I think it's unnecessary. We've made a lot of progress, and seem to have reached a consensus. I won't oppose it, if people are sure they want it, but I'd rather things moved forward; there doesn't seem to be much more we can get done in D2. However, I do suggest people to vote Tiruin in case the goatfucker's union tries to do some last minute shenanigans.
