I'm assuming that you had something to do with that, Jim?
Yes.

I'm assuming I also know what this is about?



WetSheep:  I assume I am without asking.  I said it in flavor, but it's true- my flavor describes my red dress.


Zombie U:
Funny only NK's have been third party.

Are you drawing a conclusion from this?

Oh man, I completely forgot.

Jim: Did you know you were hammering?

No. I had completely forgotten that soft hammers were a thing in this game.

And 5/11 < 51%, so there were vote shenanigans again during Day 2.

The hammering was an accident, but it was pretty dumb of me to pile on the votes even with a soft hammer rule.

Jim: How old is your character?

What does this have to do with anything?

I asked Vector if I was one of the seven. I suggest everyone else does the same. I feel like we need more information about this game.

What does this have to do with anything?

Jim, Webadict: Please restate your cases on each other from D1, clearly and concisely.

I direct you here.

I hate you.

I know.

OK, you got it too?
I'm assuming I also know what this is about?

It would be interesting to see if somebody doesn't know what we're talking about.

MOD NOTE: I thought this was clear before, but as I said at the beginning of the game:

This game is a mild bastard mod.  That is to say, I have already lied to you once or twice.  However, I give to you my promises.  Not only will the rules be as static as possible, but any lies I tell will be truths from the perspective of our storytelling prince.  Indeed, they will be solely in the flavor; none of them will be whoppers, only minor details.  I also promise you that there will be hidden mechanics.  Discovering them will be in your best interest, but the game can be finished successfully for all concerned without them.

I can't tell you which pieces of flavor are and aren't relevant, because that would be giving the game away.  But I can tell you that I'm into exploration, not massive trays of red herring.

So, to the specific question I've been asked: is it relevant or not who wouldn't change their clothes?

The answer is that it will be relevant if you manage to leverage it, and wholly irrelevant if you don't.  It's not a point worth getting caught up in.  However, paying attention to flavor and asking questions is very very very much in your best interests, especially at this stage of the game.

One more time: "Love and synthesis."

"Um, well, as you can kinda see..."
Lenglon twirls in place once
"I'm not wearing anything different from the rest of us. And um, sorry Lady Sheep, but I don't know anything about the legend of the Bleeding Nine."
"As for if I thought we should remove Lady Solifuge right away or give her a chance to speak first? I thought I made myself clear yesterday, when I asked for us to delay our decision to give her a chance to speak and us to listen. I considered hearing her out important. If she had simply come out of hiding and told us what had happened, why she had acted the way she did, then we would have had a chance to try to avoid this tragedy."
"Now then, Lady Toaster, you wanted to know why I was suspicious of Lady Solifuge? Well, I found her actions during the day to be quite suspicious. She had been evading my questions, misrepresenting my words, speaking in a way that supressed a vibrant discussion, rather than encouraged it, and she expressed a blatant double-standard regarding GriffDay and tunneling. and then she proceeded to tie the vote! I had thought that I had found a treacherous viper amongst us, but I needed proof. So I decided to watch over her, and see if my suspicions were correct. and... well, you know the rest."
"Um, Lady Jim? Why... why did you... uh... that...was... was that... that... well, um.... uh...
I don't know what to say Jim. I... well. I think I know what you and Lady Web and Lady Sheep are... well, not exactly talking about but... well, yeah..."

"Oh, and um, looking back, it seems that the two people who were part of both votes, and therefore most likely to have their votes count for two rather than one, were Lady Leaf and Lady Jim. Do either of you have more influence than the rest of us?

OK, first off, everyone:
"It was interesting," said the Prince.  "Seven of them refused, in whole or in part.  Oh, what was it they were picky about... uncovering their hair, or taking off their favorite shoes, or wearing women's garb, or showing a little decolletage--"

I asked Vector if I was one of the seven. I suggest everyone else does the same. I feel like we need more information about this game.

Also, this "Bleeding Nine" legend is showing up everywhere. Might it have some importance? Does anybody have important references to it in their flavour?
No, and no.
Lenglon:
"Lady Solifuge, your behavior yesterday was rather suspicious, so I decided to keep watch over what you did last night. Why did you visit GriffonDay the night she, i mean, he, died?"

Solifuge: Why did you visit GriffonDay last night?
Solifuge was very suspicious of Griffionday at D1 end. It made a lot of sense for him to be a vig. Do you think that merited hammering him without him getting a chance to defend himself?
No
Lenglon:  What drove your choice of target N1?
same as why I was voting Soli at the end of day 1, evasion, misdirection, supression of discussion, and hipocricy. Toss in the way Soli tied the vote, and I was already half-convinced I was looking at scum.

Jim: I know what you're talking about

Leaf and Jim: which of you has a double-strength vote?

Two other things I noticed:

1. There was (probably) no mafia-kill night 1. It's almost certain that Soli killed Griffionday, since he had a kill and Griff was his suspect.

2. The Black Swan Cohort's wincon is interesting:
You are a member of The Black Swan's Cohort.  You have a private chat here.  You win when the girls outside the cohort are dead.
There's no "if you outnumber town" or "if failure is no longer possible", like there normally is. This makes me think the Cohort might not have a kill at all, which makes sense with #1.

I think LS has the double vote, especially since Jim already has two claimed abilities (knowing how many targeted him and the thing we're talking about)

"Lady Zombie! What's so wrong with being able to double-vote? Why are you proposing that we kick Lady Leaf out over it? I... I don't understand what's gotten into you."

ZU: Why did you vote Leaf?

Nothing really but when Toaster asked LS said no.
I don't really have too much of a case on LS, but I believe that LS gets really pushy about lynches as scum.

This game is wayyyy to flavor-heavy for my taste. I didn't get what you guys were talking about because the place it was I didn't read very closely. I also don't really understand why we're being so secretive about it.

I've been thinking along this tangent for more of Day 2, and thanks to Jim's vote-ishness, and day end, couldn't post my post :/

But I've found something VERY important as to regaard with our notes here. And I'll be listing it down later on after this Parasitology class.

ONE THING:
> We've someone who is manipulating our votes.
> Watch for how they relate aaccording to mechanics.
What I'll be discussing later is on speculation as to how our votes and flavor coincide--yes, this matters.
