DPR Mafia - The Dark Monocle - Game Thread

[John McClane]

The comment about being Cop but being stripped of the ability doesn't sit well with me. I'll admit that in a DPR game pretty much anything is possible, but why not just claim vanilla and be done with it? What was the point of revealing that you used to be the cop? And why is it that you are unsure whether you are stripped or roleblocked? Was the PM unclear on what happened. Cause that's a pretty big difference and I, for one, would feel better if it was stripped rather than blocked. At least then there would be some hope of another townie using the ability.

 

 

This.

 

He should know whether or not his role has changed.

 

This comes across as a false cop claim, designed to out the real cop, or let Nolder coast without giving us any results at all. Kill 'em.

Where's your sig, Winklebutt?

Crusher ( 1 ) - Nolder

Verbal ( 1 ) - aemon

 

With 22 alive, it takes 12 to lynch.

[Nolder]

so far both polis have been town

I wonder if that trend will continue or not

 

I'm not really sure what to do with today tbh

I have mixed feelings about Wombat

overall I think I just don't agree with his play but I don't think a mafia wombat would be arguing with me this much so I'll let it slide

Blackhoof doesn't seem scummy either so no go there

 

hmmm who has been quiet?

 

Vote: Crusher

 

Smells like distancing, looks like distancing... let's kill NOLDERP, and then discuss.

distancing from who? what?

did you miss the part where Crusher has all of 5 posts in this game?

I've seen him posting on JN

he's not absent from the internet

he's either laying low or just ignoring the game

I have no clearer target at this moment so I went with that

 

 

You know what I'm talking about.

I have absolutely no idea what you're talking about

[Nolder]

Nolder talks about "not converted to the mafia" as though its an absolute that there is one.

Rules:

2. No matter what else happens, this is a Town against Mafia game.

 

yeah you're right

it's probably just a bunch of serial killers

silly me

I'm hoping it would sway some of you not to lynch me

that's the honest truth

claiming vanilla is an excellent way to die

besides that it IS my role

I'm still the cop even if I can't investigate anyone

 

And why is it that you are unsure whether you are stripped or roleblocked? Was the PM unclear on what happened.

the PM only said that I am no longer allowed to investigate people

 

Cause that's a pretty big difference and I, for one, would feel better if it was stripped rather than blocked. At least then there would be some hope of another townie using the ability.

I don't understand

what is the difference between the two in your mind?

to me they read as the exact same thing

[Nolder]

I have another ability

I can't think of a way to explain it without getting myself modkilled however

if you give me one more night I may be able to vet myself

[aemonkristen]

Being blocked means the ability is out of the game whereas being stripped means another player could have taken your ability and we would still have a cop in play. HUGE difference.

[keyholder21]

If it didn't matter... then why put on the show?

 

Are you serious? If I told you all that my vote was stolen and then didn't vote for anyone then I would get strung up for that. At least until I did vote for someone.

 

As for the rest, I said that I would reread, so I did. Again, pretty sure that would be frowned upon if I said I would and then didn't. I always hate it when people do that anyway. Plus, as jumbled as it appeared, I wanted to add my own thoughts to the game because I'd rather have some ideas of my own rather than just going along with what other people say. Just didn't have the opportunity to multiquote people as I just copied and pasted from my notes.

ah I see what you're saying

I think I was permablocked

I still retain my secondary power which seems to be tied to...something that will get me modkilled if I explain it :/

The absolute I'm referring to is a mafia that can convert. I obviously know there is a mafia in general you dimwit.

[John McClane]

Hahaha... pleading for one more night, something that a person with conversion ability often does when the heat is on.

 

How are you still alive right now?

[keyholder21]

How can it get you modkilled if the rules don't say anything about not being able to quote PMs/talk about roles?

If you were voting to show that your vote didn't count - then it would have taken a 2 word post, "Vote XYZ"

 

You trotted out what 200 words to dress up a meaningless vote. All that being said, just felt like bad acting. Enough for me to latch onto to get a bit of a reaction from you.

let me make it clearer for you

I am TOWN ALIGNED

I have not been converted to anything nor do I have the ability to convert

[keyholder21]

I wasn't trying to "dress up" my vote, but in hindsight I can see how it would look like that.

 

Ha. I would hope I wouldn't be that bad of an actor if I were mafia. Not that this means anything, but I tend to be much more careful and specific about what I say when I am. Just a poor decision on how I presented what I thought.

 

Satisfied with the reaction?

[Nolder]

How can it get you modkilled if the rules don't say anything about not being able to quote PMs/talk about roles?

my PM specifically says that I'm not allowed to talk or hint about...stuff

I may have already gone too far honestly

I don't know how to talk about this

[LilyElizabeth]

I already said it was subtle in a previous post, the one where I bumped your quotes. You aren't reading. The line about "four times" is an exaggeration, and not in the spirit of the game. You expect people to go to JN and look up past games to see is you are exaggerating? No. Which means you can get away with it as a means of writing my comments off. Petty and scummy comment.

It may have only been three times. You could be right, but the truth is, John, if you claim something often enough you will occasionally be right, and that's what you do. That doesn't make you right often. I wish you could see how ridiculous those claims are. I do not play outside the spirit of the game on purpose. If I did, I apologize to my fellow players. I'm done with this now. I have no need or desire to argue with a brick wall any further.

Ape brought meta into the discussion so I don't see how replying in kind is outside the spirit of the game.

Ape brought meta into the discussion so I don't see how replying in kind is outside the spirit of the game.

 

I introduced meta to distinguish the very specific reason why I FOS'ed Lily this game versus the casual "she's being scummy" occasions of past games. She is introducing a variable that cannot be vetted, she's saying I do the same thing every game and eventually will be right. She's shifting the argument to a "Ape always calls me scummy" defense, to take attention away from the explicit observations I made about the role she played in two trains.

 

I'm just trying to keep the record straight, as she's clearly trying to brush my fos under the rug. However, why is she so bothered by my fos if I only pointed at her once, and it was only fos? She seems to be doing a lot of work all things considered here...

[aemonkristen]

Frankly, I just ignore everyone else's meta and just pay attention to the tells that I have personally observed. It is just as easy for a scum player to give false meta reasons to push or detract a lynch as it is for a townie to put in their two cents and do the same damn thing. It's all null tells till someone flips scum.

[Sakaea]

I am disinclined to acquiesce to Nolder's request of staying alive another night. I don't trust him, and nothing that has been said has changed my opinion. Unvote, Vote Nolder

[WWWwombat]

So Nolder, you think you're permahooked rather than mimicked?

 

Scummy vote, Sakaea.
