I have no idea what's going on with the vote count.

Let's test on TolyK because he's being intentionally useless; curious if this is two votes or a double vote.  TolyK, you can consider this a real vote until you actually do something instead of being a useless McUselessson.


Dariush:  Did you get any vote-related flavor?


Irony:  Fair enough on age.

Powder Miner:
IronyOwl:
Yes, "simpering yesmanship" was the only way to answer that question, much like the question "Are you town?".
Why? What about the Commandant executing three people is so obviously correct that any disagreement whatsoever is tantamount to admitting to being scum?

What does this mean?


Deathsword:  Considering your question to Tiruin, how important is finding scum via flavor in comparison to traditional scumhunting?


Tiruin:
Toaster
Irony:  How old is your character?
How does age matter?

The way he described his claim, I wasn't sure how old he's claiming to be- someone humiliated by WWI probably wasn't six at the time.  I want to make sure it's consistent.  Being old in an elite military unit is unusual in my opinion, but it's not really something to base an attack on- Deathsword's claimed as a WWI vet, for example.


UI:  If you think there's a three man team and a third party, which was BMC?


Hapah:
Toaster: Did you learn anything from gathering all the flavor together?

Nope, other than the question generated to Irony.  But if I need to refer back to it, it's there.

HMR stands for Hazardous Materials Requisition, not Horrible Massive Ruination, though I can understand how one could get confused.

Toaster: Alright. (And yeah, good call on putting it all in one place; I do the same in some other games. I wonder if we can get all the full PMs together in one place at game end, if they're anything like mine they're extremely well-written.)

Hapah: Now that you're feeling better, who do you suspect? Why?
I need to reread and see if anyone stuck up for BMC. The Powder Miner bandwagon thing is blown out of proportion a little bit, I think.

There is one thing that has been troubling me a little, though, and I'd like an opinion for those who have been in LNCP games before. I've been trying to put together what sort of non-spy enemies we face (if there are just the spies and townies I'll be surprised). What shape would a 3rd party be, and what do the spies want? My best guess at the moment is that we want to recover it, spies want to destroy/steal it, and any 3rd parties probably want to use it. I had that in mind when I was going back over Toaster's flavor list, and Tolyk's claim (below) makes me a little uneasy.

Quote from: Tolyk Flavor Claim
I am Vester Meine Schneider, a 0th SS Division Officer. I believe that the strong should take power. I've worked through the ranks of the SS and was noticed by the Führer. He asked me what I wanted to achieve, to which I replied that the strong should take power - this impressed him enough that he promoted me to the 0th SS. And here I am, helping the strong (such as myself and my nation) to take power.
Normally I wouldn't give it another thought, but what I've read of WC1 and what others have said about how flavor-heavy and flavor-relevant LNCP games are gives me pause. If anyone would attempt to seize power for himself, it'd be someone like above. Should I be concerned about this? Do you think it's relevant?

Insufficient data.

Yes it is. Does it even count as a bandwagon if it's only two votes?

Is sticking up for BMC the only thing you're looking for?

Tiruin:
So compared to what I've seen from WC2, comparing meta affects this game?
No idea what you're asking, but I'll answer my best guess. Yes, I do feel comparing this to the mod's previous games is valid.

Also, the third-party means...?
A spy who is not on a team with the other spies and presumably has a different goal. You know, the definition of third party.

Do I detect OMGUS on being called a Nazi Imbecile?
Since when is a vote-that-probably-doesn't-count in response to a lazy scum calling me an imbecile without any reason while voting someone else is considered OMGUS?
Did being called an imbecile need incite a reaction like that?
Yes, you scum.

Why are you so certain the third party must be a spy?

Post.
Because explanations, excuses, even a simple PFP or a 'No time, will post later' notices are for noobs, right?

Why are you so certain the third party must be a spy?
a) Because my theory of a three-man team leaves one spy unaccounted for.
b) This is speculation, so certainty is not a thing.

I agree with Tiruin on this one. Riddle me this, Batman: Despite having an actual case on IronyOwl, you cited the insult as your reason for voting him. Which is more important in your eyes, his bandwagon or the fact that he called you an imbecile?

Considering BMC's flavour, how it said he was good at infiltration, and his flip, I'd say that it might play a part in scumhunting. But I think traditional scumhunting is still going to be the main way of finding the spies.

Tiruin: I'll give you the quotes later today when I have more time.

Oh god day ends in....5 hours? 6? Before-I-get-off-work o'clock, is the important bit.

I'll reread what I can and put up a vote, and a post, during lunch.

@Shakerag: You can bandwagon with 2 votes? In addition, you can bandwagon with more than 2 days of ample time remaining?
Okay, clearly I am not terribly clear when posting after drinking.  What I was trying to say at that time was: "Jim - are you voting PM for any reason beyond stating that he (PM) is bandwagoning?"


Shakerag:
That part makes sense, but some of the rest of my flavor I had a mental "wtf" moment about.
Examples, please.
Well, I mentioned some of it before.  Like, why would having a single-focused, driven, yet uncreative mind be a very valuable trait in the military.  I'd think having some amount of creativity would be good for being able to react dynamically in combat.  (I will admit that I could be way off base here, not having any military experience personally.)  Or why my flavor connects being very athletic in in my youth with joining the military and rising through the ranks as a "natural" course of action.  (Again, not personally seeing the connection myself.  Perhaps I am dense.)


I think that's all questions/directed comments.  Re-reading and posting more on my next break.
