PFP - checking back. Pretty sporadic given exams.

TWS
Leafsnail:
Did you do it or didn't you?
My role PM suggested no and that I didn't want to remember what event led to my cursed shoes.  When I asked Vector to have me recall she said that yes, I had breached someone's trust.  I think the role PM being wrong was due to my character's repression of the memory.
Okay.

A very good question that you should probably ask Griffinpup. I replaced in after N1.
Ok then.  Why didn't you use the nightkill blocker on night two?
1: I thought there might be a more important time to use it later on(I'm generally conservative with night actions)
2: I thought there might be no scumkill, since there probably wasn't N1.
...

You 'thought' there might be no scumkill? Wat. Probably wasn't, N1? 'Probably'?

What happened to a surety here?

Quote
I feel like we shouldn't lynch ZU. Jim is probably the most important role here, and getting rid of both of the people who are protecting him feels like a bad idea.
So for the lack of definitives, you're seemingly against lynching ZU. How is Jim the most important role for you here? Please expound on the bolded portion.

Case in point, you're voting Webadict. [Okami]

..And not continuing on him at all.

So who do you feel 'we' shouldn't lynch? Or on this notion, 'should'?

 
ZU: Why did you protect Lenglon instead of Jim at the time?

Extension granted to 12:00 noon Wednesday (-8GMT).  Four more votes required for a 48-hour extension to Friday at 12:00 noon (-8GMT).


Tiruin turns around and looks at the Prince, asking him again.
"Milord, was Horatio exposed to any sort of flower or..pretty much receiving any kind of gift or fragrance back before 'that' dinner? Are there any aromaticobjects you keep here-on your person or by someone else?

"And how many gowns in all were needed by all of us whence we first entered? As in, how many were given?"


"We keep herbs in the kitchen and flowers on the tables (why waste the spring?) and dried lavender sachets wherever we can put them--as we always have.  Bad odors are destructive to health and temperament.  He did not receive any gifts, to my knowledge.

"Since thirteen girls came in and seven would not wear the white clothing sent in, then that must mean that six wore them."

Why is your N1 flavor so sparse?
Because I didn't do shit.  Over three days after the day started Vector sent me a bit of flavour about me lying in bed thinking about things, while saying it was fluff anyway.

And you know what?  I can prove it.
[[I need to write 3 more PMs.  None of these are directly relevant to the game, soooo feel free to play.  They will be sent out tomorrow morning]]
Vector: these PMs weren't all sent by the next morning, were they?

1: I thought there might be a more important time to use it later on(I'm generally conservative with night actions)
2: I thought there might be no scumkill, since there probably wasn't N1.
Fair enough.

TheWetSheep:

I have three one-shot actions, which take the form of songs I can play.

Do these songs have names?

"Hypothetically, why would you want to know any of your implications there?"

Mostly because I'm curious.

"Also are you in..y'know, 'that', Jim? You sound rather agitated..I mean, I don't blame you if you are...but cut down on the..the..."
Tiruin assumes the stance of a tiger bearing its paws..well, claws and flails them about.
"well, that."
(Remember the Princess rule?)

What the fuck are you asking.

And could you please do a better job of burying everything you want to say or ask inside incomprehensible RP? Because if you could, that'd be fantastic.

No.  They very much weren't.

Blargh.

Unvote.

Maybe rereading Day 1 will bring up something useful.

ZU: Why did you protect Lenglon instead of Jim at the time?
Lenglon felt most worthy of protection N1.

I'm a blesser, not a fighter.
Can you explain the flavour reason for you supporting the town?
The prince is a pretty cool dude. Also he had this really cool book on math proofs that he showed me and we read it together.

NQT (gardener) dies -> nothing happened to Toaster/Lenglon
TWS dies -> LS loses power (claimed, implied)
Jim dies -> "terrible things happen"

I'm out of ideas. :(

Gah. I lost a post. Retyping is a pain.

Tiruin:

What happened to a surety here?
I didn't want to say "definitely" because there's a (very low) chance that scum killed Griffionday too.

Why Jim's important:

1. He's about as close as you can get to being confirmed town.
2. From what we've seen, his role is very powerful(with him being a goddess and all).

Bolded part: Griffionday's role flavour was mostly relating to Jim, but there were no stated abilities relating directly to him, and I'm assuming ZU's is similar. This makes me think there's something hidden-mechanics-wise that links those three.

They do, but claiming them word for word would go against the rules of no quoting the
mod. I guess I can give you an idea of what they look like. If I had a protection song, it would be called something like a Healer's Song or a Song of Protection.

Toaster/Lenglon dying would probably have done something to NQT.  I think Jim's role is pretty integral to the game, so he might be able to come back after dying?  I dunno, I'm struggling to get any sort of purchase on the puzzle in this game.

PFP

Tiruin addresses the Prince again because Horatio seems busy.

"Dear Prince, could you ask Horatio--I fear I have offended him--on who had announced in the first place, that there were rumors of interlopers within our midst? Or..who did it in the first place?

"I had only heard it from others and it comes across as rumor to me. Proven rumor as of now, but back then..well, vague rumor. The sort of rumor wherein the source is indistinct."



Jim
What the fuck are you asking.

And could you please do a better job of burying everything you want to say or ask inside incomprehensible RP? Because if you could, that'd be fantastic.
Blargh.

Two things.
1. Expletives. You don't seem to be picking on the part of how to communicate without them.
2. Communication. It isn't 'burying' in so much that you want things straight out. Which is obviously why I'm using such--you need to learn a step in communication to learn that I'm saying exactly what is needed. Just that it has bits of communication in it.

Thanks for the rudeness >_>


ZU
NQT (gardener) dies -> nothing happened to Toaster/Lenglon
TWS dies -> LS loses power (claimed, implied)
Jim dies -> "terrible things happen"

I'm out of ideas. :(
By terrible things happen, it isn't an inference, is it?

...Why are you out of ideas? O.o
Nothing else to ponder on?

I'm pretty sure synthesis = putting things together, to say bluntly.

I doubt that Toaster/Lenglon are associated with NQT. A Gardener in that--well, his--sense would be pretty strange to bring those flowers to life.

I'm divided on whether it is a fakeclaim or not--mostly everyone has claimed as of late and Jim hasn't said a confirmatory word on it all.

What is your opinion on how things are going as of late?

TWS
You..seem like you forgot that your vote was on someone. Why? Especially when you voted him with a reason.

Gah. I lost a post. Retyping is a pain.

Tiruin:

How does it relate to Jim? What about ZU?

It seems like those who 'follow' the Goddess don't even know who she is. ZU states he is a player here upon only re-reading it. Jim only noticed when it shifted.

Jin: Any notice of any shift while you were Sleeping Beauty?

I don't support a zombieurist lynch but I don't have anything concrete to offer up in exchange. I will vote with my gut and say Leafsnail. I've explained my reasons for voting him previously, and even though he ably defended himself it would be inaccurate to say I don't suspect him for it.

Bolded part: Griffionday's role flavour was mostly relating to Jim, but there were no stated abilities relating directly to him, and I'm assuming ZU's is similar. This makes me think there's something hidden-mechanics-wise that links those three.

You mean Solifuge.

I think Jim's role is pretty integral to the game, so he might be able to come back after dying?

If you believe this then why are you willing to lynch my protection?

Either ZU is scum and I'm no safer than with him dead, or he's not and I get protection during the night and get to work my global dream magic in hopefully useful ways.

What the fuck are you asking.

And could you please do a better job of burying everything you want to say or ask inside incomprehensible RP? Because if you could, that'd be fantastic.

When I have no idea what you're asking for whatever reason, I will say as much, and point out the reason.

Thanks for the rudeness >_>

'Tis my pleasure!

I'm divided on whether it is a fakeclaim or not--mostly everyone has claimed as of late and Jim hasn't said a confirmatory word on it all.

What haven't I confirmed?

I'm going to take a guess and assume you're talking about the forms everybody appeared as. They all check out. I have a eight forms on my list; seven of them were claimed by people alive. I assume the eighth belonged to NQT.

Jin: Any notice of any shift while you were Sleeping Beauty?

I'm not quite sure what you're asking but probably not.
