And now for the fillipk option.
Alright, guys. I'm back at a computer and ready to respond to any...
This game has strong superhero themes with the Guardians of the Earth and a satellite base so therefore it makes sense for everyone to be a power role.
Unvote.
Seriously, fillipk? How does mentioning this idea help the town AT ALL? Obviously, anyone who thinks this idea could be right would have a power role, and anyone who confidently disagrees or asserts that it is impossible would just be a vanilla townie. This is information that the Cult Leader would love to hear. Discussing this idea brings NO benefit to the town whatsoever.
Why shouldn't I believe that you are the cult leader using this comment to fish for power roles?
Fuck off, Megas, stop stealing my thunder. I was just looking for filipk's game history before actually calling him out on it. Bitch 
Unvote
Vote filipk
Here we see fillipk providing a potentially valuable piece of information to the cult leader. And getting tackled for it.
Read Megggas' analysis for maximum impact.
EBWOP
As an addendum to Megas stuff, filipk, if town, has essentially just claimed a power role. Not good play for D1, I think.
And let's not forget this. If he was town D1, I imagine there's some likelihood that he got converted N1 as a result of this.
On how he balanced the game? Clone lord's minions can become the clone lord, or they all have his powers, if we get one then he can still act through his cult, and he starts with one, its how I would have done it. As for third parties, I would say there would probably be a survivor, reporter type person, can't think of much else.
What ploy, if we are all power roles like I think then we all have a thematic name, because we are all superheroes, we will have a super hero identity as our role name, mine is Jotunn, since by saying this I am claiming to be a power role. I'm not rolefishing you can say if you are a power role or not. If I was the clone lord I would keep this to myself and not worry about hitting a power role and let everyone else consider the fact that there might be vanilla townies. Plus day 2 we can claim powers and name.
Then he goes on to actually claim a power role D1. Gragh.
First off I invited because my vote was purely an unimportant pressure vote to avoid being looked at as a liar
unvote here Deus, I unvoted.
Benefits of clone lord knowing everyone is a power role:
Doesn't have to target power roles can focus on targeting players.
Benefits of Town knowing everyone is a power role, in this game:
Doesn't have to worry about accidentally killing one of the few power roles so they don't need to get fazed by role claims.
I say we get the advantage there.
My first two real posts were my first impressions on the game, which I thought everyone figured out, and I was using this belief to craft some theories. If I had just said what I thought the cult started as and what third parties there were people would have questioned me why I think this and my "we are all special" theory would have come out.
We did not know all the different factions in the game, that marks this game with a hint of bastardness even if it isn't advertised as such, it just means there is no puzzle to be solved or special role combination necessary.
Fallacy of Urist you seem really distressed over something that doesn't give the scum a huge advantage. Yes I admit my original post does look like a subtle attempt at role fishing I never pressured for people to agree or disagree, I never pressured people to do a rolecall, I stated my opinion. I feel you are trying to construct a case on me but you are forgetting something, if I was part of the cult this theory would have gone straight to a quicktopic, or I would have kept it to myself if I was the only one, since there would be no need to rolefish if everyone was a power role, it would look suspicious and threaten me. Flabort's question wasn't unimportant, it was a follow up to his previous question, and he wanted to see me theory craft more roles. I feel like you are trying to down play what I said instead of thinking why I would say it if I was scum.
Now, I say we don't get the advantage here. If anything, this... this... first section: just foul. We do not get the advantage here- what I speak of is time. The piece of information "the vast majority of players are power roles" is deducible via looking at role flips. But if the theory comes out early, the clone lord gets a good benefit, not so for town- we aren't going to role claim D1 or D2, yeh?
Second section: he promptly votes me as a rather reactionary vote. And there's plenty of need to rolefish if you're clone lord regardless of whether or not everybody has powers- you need to know who has what kind of powers.
And to respond to the second section of the second section:
Yes, I am trying to downplay what you're saying. Because it's all based on flavor and speculation.
If you want to make yourself useful D1, start hunting scum.
It's fine if you want to start with me, you're still hunting.
D1, fillipk, instead of hunting scum for most of it, basically floundered, doing a sort of active lurk, disguising that by using theorycrafting. When he finally decided to vote(seriously, that is), he went as a reactionary vote against me.
I guess I got a bit ahead of myself and your right my theory is kinda looks stupid now, and apparently is wrong if people are to be believed, but it has had two effects on this game.
1. If I avoid getting lynched and people start calming down and seeing me as town I've made myself a target for the cult as a realitively safe convert and someone with a power role
2. It stirred up a hornet's nest of new content to analyze and maybe find scum.
Yes FoU, my vote was kinda reactionary trying to find someone else to suggest as scum, wish I had paid more attention to the sabertooth post.
And then there's this bit. Pay attention to effect number one and the first sentence.
And then he swerves onto the easier lynch, Chromatic Wasp, pushing the bandwagon through. Poof.
fillipk: Which person are you the most suspicious of being the cult leader?
Fallacy of Urist. I'll get back to you with why on Saturday or Sunday later in the afternoon pacific time.
Until you post regarding this,
fillipk, I'll keep my vote on you(there's more against you than against SaberTooth, somewhat).
