Shorten?
I find his choosingof lynchable people suspicious.
As if, dare I say it, there were people on his team that he would not lynch.
Also, he hasn't roleclaimed, despite my request for him to do so if he wants us to do so.

So yesterday, we only had one corrupted post (correct me if I'm wrong) and today, we have 2. This makes me think that Peradon forgot to use his power (being AWOL and all) and roo just used it today.

Interesting theory.

Which you do nothing to disprove...
I mean, first you won't lead a roleclaim you're pushing for, and then this?

And that's game! Not as much working together to figure out the Bastard mechanics as I'd expected, but hopefully it was interesting anyway. Role PMs and Night PMs to follow, as well as a discussion of the set-up.

Oh! I win. Yay!

[Mephansteras]

So...there were a few things about this set-up that put it into the Semi-Bastard category

First off, there was the hidden aspect to the Edits I was doing. Without clear rules as to how and why they were happening, it was of course difficult for everyone to figure out what was going on. Too confusing, perhaps, as people didn't try to hard to dig into it.

Second, the set-up itself was not a standard Mafia game. While there was a pretty standard Scum team in the Viruses, most of the 'Town' players actually had their own win conditions that were independent of the Viruses existence.

Third, there an aspect that was completely hidden, though allude to in ToonyMan's role. The two Monitor Programs were actually buggy and required an Update in order to function correctly. There was a 20% chance that any post they quoted in their posts would be corrupted in the process. Which is where all of the corruption with missing bits was coming from. The garbled post was a use from TheDarkStar's power, but he actually didn't end up doing much of that.

Amusingly, The Ad-Ware and Anti-Spam Filter were in direct competition but could both have won. Didn't happen that way, but it was possible.

Tbf we wouldnt have won anyway. Osg could have simply claimed and won.

I did claim.

[flabort]

Heh, not quite enough town roles to counter scum team imo, but feel free to disagree.

You did? I didnt even see it :/
