Over 250 posts between my thread checkings. Good God you people are wordy.
I'm ready for my close-up, Mr DeMille!
Well, the inquisitor is kill-happy, because he doesn't follow your frelling rules.
I'm not actually sure as to what "lynching" will do in this game.
I'd wager Dr. Nerjin's gun was not left here by accident.
...I had not thought of that.
You don't think a gun on the desk right there where we can get it is relevant?
Psshhh, heh, no... *shifts eyes rapidly*
Makeinu:
Makeinu: What would you do to someone you think is puzzle solving too much to hunt scum?
Wait. There's a difference? I thought finding scum was the puzzle. Your question makes no sense to me...
This is at least a mild bastard mod. That means there's a bit of something non-standard going on here. Puzzle solving would be trying to figure that out. Scum hunting is determining who is scum and lynching them- so mechanics versus players. Now you should be able to answer that.
Well, the real problem is this: how do you hunt scum when you don't understand the parameters? Indeed, when the parameters have been deliberately hidden from you?
So on the one hand, lynch the bastard for not hunting scum, and on the other, who the hell are we even looking for?
We have three who've admitted to being told they're Evil. This is a school of wizardry, of some sort, so damned if
that's not surprising in the least. It's also a strong indicator to me that Evil is not the criteria we need to solve for, i.e., lynching the Evil students won't solve our problem.
We also have the fact that two of those claimants deny having anything to do with summoning the meteor.
So, alignment is a distraction, a red herring.
Look, a supermodel! Look, a hoverboard! Look, the apocalypse! Someone got hit in the boingloings! Hit in the boingloings! Boingloings! Boingloings! Somebody got hit in them. Peace out!
meteor poisoning!!
I laughed.
Man, I really wrote that? Har!
WUBA:
1. No.
So much for no lying!
[/quote]
Actually, he never said he wouldn't lie to us. He said nothing he'd say would be 100% lie. His lies are, from what I can see, lies by omission. He's not telling us anything that's untrue, he's just not telling us much that is outright true, and nothing that's outright false.
What he is doing is concealing the truth behind clever phrases and pretty prose. Flavor. Fluff.
2. No. Maybe. There's a line in my flavor that on first glance looked like flavor, but upon discarding assumptions, may actually be a wincon, though it's not stated as such. I've PMed Web for clarification, since PM role questions tend to yield more relevant responses than in-thread questions.
For the record, WUBA was extremely unhelpful in clarifying this.
Does this surprise you, in the least? Answer honestly, and that answer should be no, because it shouldn't surprise you at all.
Everyone: You all have win conditions. Even Wuba and Nerjin have win conditions: confuse us and be amused at our flounderings. Right now, they're the only ones winning.
Go, now, and reread your role statements. Carefully. Don't just skim them, looking for the obvious "push this button to win the game". Look
through the words, push aside the fluff, ignore the flavor because you probably hate pineapple anyway and grapes don't really taste like that, and
look for what your role is telling you.
Because there's a win in there somewhere.
UI: Can I tell a bad one?
An electron and a positron walk into a bar.
The positron says, "It's your turn to buy drinks."
The electron asks, "Are you sure?"
The positron says, "I'm positive."
Badumbumtsch!!
Two theoretical physicists are at the top of a mountain, lost, and arguing over their location. Finally, one grabs the map from the other and studies it carefully. After a moment, he says, "I've got it. See that mountain?" and points at a neighboring peak.
"We're over there!"
Yow!
I'll be here all week!
