Fillipk abruptly PMed me to tell me that editing posts from days before cannot retroactively change the lynch. Not surprising.
To let you know that I would consider that to be suspicious. Come to think of it, I didn't have to post that, I could have just left it unsaid, then if you didn't end up unvoting before the day ended, pointed it out day 2 for potentially greater effect.
Fallacy: ...why? Why let us know? Why did this even come to mind? You saw two RVS votes on griffinpup, so you immediately thought of the votes being left through the entire day and how scummy that would be, so you decided to tell us how suspicious that would be?
Was this an impulsive action?
Jack A T: How likely do you think it is that there is at least one power in this setup that works via quotes?
It's possible. I'm guessing there's some sort of major unrevealed mechanic that makes post editing useful for town, and that fits the bill.
So what was the point of this question? I'm guessing there's something in the formatting of the PMs you want to check by assuming I'd use the formatting of mine to make my guess for yours?
Deus: Primarily, I wanted to see two things: your reaction to an odd question, and just how much people knew about my role from what I said. That, and I wanted to have two questions playing on the setup flavour.
How many mafia do you think there are?
OSG: 2-3, most likely 3. If 2, then heavy thirds.
Jack A.T.:Can you think of any possible tactic which could involve the use of the powers that edit beyond the day of the post? to fool people unaware of the change, add in a sneaky clue right before the roleclaim, my mind wonders about the possibility.
GayArchaea: The clearest and least situational ones I can think of are non-town ones. Evidence forgery and destruction, petty damage, feints to convince us that evidence was altered...chaos. However, archival works well against that. Even with archival, though, selective alteration could be used to generate WIFOM.
That being said, those tactics would work best if Meph were administrating some edits, something not confirmed. That is possible, though, with Meph's known involvement in this game.
For self-editing, dead scum walking can destroy old evidence...but archiving undermines that.
I see very little for town to gain from post editing, whether our own posts or the posts of others. However, my having my noted power indicates that the mod thinks there is something for town to gain. Probable unknown mechanics.
Tiruin: Unless there are substantive mechanical reasons to edit, I will not edit.
Uh, my guess would be:
a hollow circle (one curve)
a Greek cross (two lines)
three vertical wavy lines (or "waves")
And then Jack A T was asking me stuff because that's probably his action in drawing cards like a tarot dealer, because Miiiind reading. :^
Your card guess is completely correct.
ESP confirmed! The reason for asking has nothing to do with my role, though. Just playing on the theme and seeing what you would guess the reason for asking was.
Basically agreed about archival. I am archiving through copy/pasting the posts to a local OpenOffice file. I can't say I recommend screenshot archival: hard to quote and
results in too many big images with little on each.Hope you get less bluh soon.
fillipk: Are there/Is it possible that there are powers in this game that depend on Mephansteras's moderator editing rights?
