Buffyverse Mafia: Apocalypse Now

This will be a high-conversion game in the tradition of Lylat Wars here and War of Hyrule over on TWCenter.
Days and nights will be 24 hours and will take the rough narrative form of Episodes, with a Buffy "Episode" ending each day and beginning each Night and an Angel "Episode" doing the reverse. Roles will be revealed on death, but not Team. Every Role will be a part of a Team and resident in a Location, either L.A. or Sunnydale for most. Teams will be Innocent teams, Mafia teams, or possibly something else. The Victory condition for all Innocent Teams is: eliminate all members of Mafia Teams. Other team VC's will be rigorously defined in Role PMs. This should all be clearer after I do the first Intro post, i.e. the Buffy Pilot, which will contain a complete innocent Role PM.


Important Game Information,
As usual, this information may or may not be relevant to tonight, but I realized should be publically available.
Phase end will always be 10 pm Eastern unless I specify differently, regardless of my being around. Phases are about 24 hours, unless I specify otherwise.
For gameplay reasons, vampires will not be mentioned as turning to dust, i.e. people may turn to dust upon death, but I won't be telling you that.
Scans occur after conversions.
Role-blocks do not appear in the phase posts.
Successful Conversions do not appear in the phase posts.
New seasons begin with the Buffy epsiode following an episode in which a team is exterminated. That is the only indication of teams being eliminated.
No quoting PMs from me,
the Dead may not send or receive PMs, write in QTs, or reveal external to thread information (i.e. scan results or older PMs)
This includes making any claims about who you were or were not in contact with, WHETHER OR NOT they claim in the thread to have been in contact with you. Rule of Thumb, if you're in doubt, don't post it.
If alive, you may send messages, create QTs, whatever you please as long as you don't quote me. I do appreciate being kept in the loop on out-of-thread communication, though.
There is some variation in format of Role PMs, so don't rely on small irregularities to give you hints.
You are always welcome to PM me questions or post them here. I may choose to not give you an answer, I may even choose not to respond at all. You have been warned.

I am looking for 40 players. Please bear with me, as this is the largest game I have run.

Buffy Pilot Episode: Summers Time
http://www.ehiztari.com/yolanda/Buffy_Screencaps/3X03Faith_hope_and_trick/3X03_Faith__Hope___Trick_0065_1.jpg

Scene opens, Buffy is talking with Willow and enjoying a nice picnic lunch. She looks up, and does a double-take, as a look of concern crosses her face.

Buffy: Autolycus, what are you doing here? Don't you live in L.A.?

Autolycus: Can't I come down to visit you every once in a while without permission? I brought some of your old friends to visit, too. They were very ... persuasive

A bunch of teens come around the corner, laughing. Then they attack Autolycus and start biting him. Buffy defeats them, and goes to check on Autolycus, who is lying on the ground, bleeding copiously.

Autolycus: What's wrong ... with your generation ... First you burn down the gym, then your friends make me drive them to see you and what happens, they bite my legs off. You .... always .... were a disappointment to me.




http://images4.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20081216183937/buffy/images/e/e3/Hank-Summers.jpg
Autolycus was Hank Summers!

Normally, that's all you'd get, but here's a full role PM for him.

http://images4.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20081216183937/buffy/images/e/e3/Hank-Summers.jpg
Role: Hank Summers
Team: Summers Men (Innocent)
Location: Sunnydale
Ability: To die for the purposes of plot exposition
Personal Objective: Die at the time when your daughters most need you
Background: You started out as a pretty decent Dad. Then, you divorced your wife when one of your daughters (or was that your only daughter) was going through the biggest change of her life. At least you still visited her occasionally. Until you went gallivanting off to Spain, that is. Die, Chauvinist Pig, Die!!

Link to Wiki:http://buffy.wikia.com/wiki/Hank_Summers

Notes: The Primary two innocent faction teams are the same as the two main locations, L.A. and Sunnydale. The one indication you will get of Teams is that a new Season of both Buffy and Angel will start every time a faction is wiped out, starting with Buffy. Since Hank Summers was the only Summers Man, the next Buffy episode will be Season 1, Episode 1, and the Angel Episode after next will also be Season 1, Episode , regardless of whether another faction gets wiped out in it.

That would make a hilarious read. "The Eternal Talking Pizzaguy".
And very scary (http://www.penny-arcade.com/comic/2004/09/27/)

[Askthepizzaguy]

That would make a hilarious read. "The Eternal Talking Pizzaguy".
And very scary (http://www.penny-arcade.com/comic/2004/09/27/)

I would have a neutral role, and accuse myself of working with the vampires while secretly trying to infiltrate the vampires by acting friendly towards them. Then, I would probably tip off the vampires that they shouldn't trust me, because I've been known to double-cross the scums before. It would be my hope that my honesty would get them to trust me, right before I backstab them by publicly revealing who they were, at which time I would counter-reveal and suggest that it is all an elaborate hoax to cause a mislynch, because according to my calculations, it is the final lynch if all the vampires are still alive, and I'd accuse myself of being the baddest vampire of them all, trying to win the game. The accusation will leave me jaw agape, because I will KNOW that I know it's not even true, and I will publicly attempt to discredit myself and possibly divide the vote so that I can survive another round, but before the round ends, I will switch my vote onto myself, thus ensuring my lynch and ending my reign of terror.

"HA! Got the bastard." I'd chuckle to myself, just before realizing that means I have also lost the game. :shame:

[Reenk Roink]

Am I being replaced? :cry:

Don't be so clingy, this is an open relationship and I like to experiment. :annoyed:

[Askthepizzaguy]

Askthereenksaguy

Also known as pevergreen's kryptonite. When Askthereenksaguy is born, there will be wailing and gnashing of teeth, and eyes will bleed, and children will frown, and ice cream will melt and become all soupy. Fingernails will grow, and there will be a mysterious absence of nail clippers. The incumbency rate in Congress will finally reach 100%. *shudder*

Then, the dark times will come. And on top of a pile of human skulls, there will be two lone figures, laughing at the destruction and misery. It will be glorious.

Oh no, something is wrong with pevergreen.

pever are you okay?

Are you okay pever? pever are you okay? Will you tell us that you're okay?

There's a sign in the window, that we struck you, a crescendo pever. We came into your apartment, we left the bloodstains on the carpet, then you ran into the bedroom; you were struck down, it was your doom.

:help:

[classical_hero]

After seeing many posts like this... Does anyone know anything about Buffy besides Auto? :laugh4:
I am fairly up to speed on the whole universe of Buffy and Angel. In the buffy clan, the group of friends Buffy had, included a witch, who was her best friend and also a lesbian, a werewolf, a watcher, who was disguised as the school librarian for close access, and theree was Angel, who was Buffy's lover, who is a vampire with a soul, so that way they can fall in love with each other and not fight each other like they should, since Buffy is a vampire slayer.

[autolycus]

13 to go, I'll probably send out some recruiting messages tonight. I'm including links in the role PMs, and substantial liberty has been taken with the series, so I don't think anyone will have too much of an advantage from knowing Buffy and Angel. For those of you who have some burning urge to do research by watching the shows, I don't think I use any characters who are neither referenced nor appear prior to the final season of either show, although I reserve the right to be wrong on that :).

Protip: Send out those recruiting messages as soon as you open sign-ups, and the game will fill up very quickly. That's what I did for A State of Corruption, and it had more players than any of the other large games I've hosted.

Also, if you don't get 40 you can just put me in as a normal player.

That means don't claim your roles privately. Forming networks based on role reveals or other similar information will be game losing for the innocent team.

Loose lips cause "OH :daisy:"s.

[Yaropolk]

I claim to be Eddie Murphy...thant means I'm the vampire, the grocery store clerk, the drug dealer, the big momma, the barber, and the white girl from high school

[Askthepizzaguy]

Has Eddie Murphy actually played ANY of those roles?

[Greyblades]

I think he played a character pretending to be a big momma.

[Skooma Addict]

Has Eddie Murphy actually played ANY of those roles?

All of them except the high school girl.

[Askthepizzaguy]

All of them except the high school girl.

I have not been keeping up with my Eddie Murphy movies, then. I can't recall any of those.

[autolycus]

Internet was down for a while, so I'm running behind.

[dcmort93]

ok that could explain the lack of a role pm im assuming

[autolycus]

Yep. I've sent out about 3/5 of them, but I'm completely wiped, so the rest will be sent out in the morning, and the game will start tomorrow evening.

[Yaropolk]

I have not been keeping up with my Eddie Murphy movies, then. I can't recall any of those.

Take any 90's or 80's movie starring Eddie Murphy and chances are any character that doesn't have to be on screen at the same time with the main role is also played by him!

Coming to America: Eddie Murphy ... Prince Akeem / Clarence / Randy Watson / Saul
Vampire in Brooklyn: Eddie Murphy ... Maximillian / Preacher Pauly / Guido
The Nutty Professor: Eddie Murphy ... Sherman Klump / Buddy Love / Lance Perkins / Papa Klump / Mama Klump / Grandma Klump / Ernie Klump / Young Papa Klump

[robbiecon]

I think he played a character pretending to be a big momma.

No that was Martin Lawrence.

The best movie he's done in the past 20 years (Eddie Murphy) is Life IMO, with Martin Lawrence.

His 80's films are epic win though.

Angel Pilot Episode: Blackout
http://images4.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20080602120026/buffy/images/thumb/c/cc/LosAngeles.jpg/250px-LosAngeles.jpg
Angel is sitting behind his desk in the office, waiting for a phone call from a client. The shutters are drawn, but light comes through the shades. Then it doesn't anymore, and Doyle is screaming in pain in the doorway.
Angel: What's wrong, another vision?

Doyle: Not just one, several. And my are they whoppers. Death, Destruction, Violence, all on an untold scale. Oh, and the sun's gone out.

Angel: In your vision?

Doyle: No, in reality. The sun went behind a cloud, and it's not coming back out. Not for quite some time. You're gonna need some back-up, champ. Call the Slayer.

Angel: But, but...

Doyle: Just do it.

Fade to Black. For contract reasons, Buffy characters can't appear on this show during the Pilot. Therefore, lights come back up in the office, where the interior lights are now turned on. Sounds of Chaos in the streets
Doyle: Well, what's the plan, hero?

Angel: It's a mess out there. Vampires are having a ball, and so's just about every other demon, warlock, or other nasty. So the plan is that she'll gather a large number of us between our two towns, she'll talk to her friends and someone will be killed by the mob every once in a while. Hopefully this will fix things.

Doyle: Really?

Angel Really.

Doyle: And what's your role?

Angel: Well, I'll sit around here and brood about Buffy. And maybe do a little investigating of my own.

Doyle: Well, it's not much better than my plan of getting roaring drunk and waiting for the world to end, but let's go for it!

This Buffy episode is long, ending in just under 48 hours. Vote in the usual Vote: format, the Innocent Victory condition is defined as: you win if all mafia teams are exterminated.

Nervous much?

After I do the Half Monty writeup, I'm checking the tally from before this post.

[Sasaki Kojiro]

There were no votes on yaropolk and I think either fluffy or robbie were in the lead with like 2 votes.

[Askthepizzaguy]

There were no votes on yaropolk and I think either fluffy or robbie were in the lead with like 2 votes.

It was way too much explanation for a round one vote. I think there's a better than random chance he was coming up with a reason to spare one of the other two. It smelled flinchy.

[Sasaki Kojiro]

Why not vote for someone who has a vote then?

Maybe you caught a whiff of scum, but I don't think the explanation you are attaching is the correct one.

[Askthepizzaguy]

Why not vote for someone who has a vote then?

Maybe you caught a whiff of scum, but I don't think the explanation you are attaching is the correct one.

Because it is a bit obvious a move. The votes on any given candidate are low, and it looks more natural to start a new bandwagon than to reflexively pile onto the opposing candidate.

Perhaps you're right that I'm not articulating what I feel correctly, but when reading that post I got flashbacks to other times when people gave logical reasons to not waste the round one lynch, and use it to get rid of a lurker since we're going to have to do so eventually anyway. It's very persuasive, people listen to that.

And yet, it is also something you can state in order to alter the voting tally on round one quite easily. Yaropolk is either trying to steer the lynch onto someone he feels won't participate anyway, or off of someone we should be lynching. One of the two is true. My gut feels almost 50/50 on it. I can't help but express that, before we wander too far from this point.

[pevergreen]

Blah, blah, blah.

There's no such thing as trying to hard for Day 1, it's such a bad argument that I've seen used by scums before. It's much better to be trying than giving fluff reasons, or a random vote. Town work starts on Day 1, not later.

unvote Skooma; vote: Death is yonder

If you show me a game where you made a day 1 vote with the same argument, and you were Town, I will unvote you, otherwise my vote stays on you.

Also, Yaro was wanting to lynch a less active player, for strategic reasons, and I agree with him: Given no alternative, it's preferable to lynch a lurker on day 1 (if only to teach them that lurking is unacceptable!)

Buffy Season 1 Episode 1: The Hellmouth


Buffy and Willow are patrolling through the graveyard. Willow clutches a flashlight, Buffy a stake

Willow: So what did Angel say?

Buffy: Well, the sun's gone there too. His sources agree with Giles, much badness, all going to die five ways to Saturday unless we stop it.

Willow: No, silly. What did he say about you? Is he still all broody and 'I'm staying in L.A. because I can't be around you."?

Buffy: Yes, for the moment, though if things get much worse, that may have to change. So... Look, a vampire! I'll take it down, you keep an eye out for more, or demons.


http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20110203213354/buffy/images/thumb/f/f2/Vampirerunning.jpg/583px-Vampirerunning.jpg


Willow: Dd-d-d-d demons? Those aren't normally in graveyards, right?

Death is Yonder: talking to himself, directly behind Willow, off-camera Now where did those kittens go...

Willow whirls around and smacks Death Is Yonder in the face with flashlight

Willow: Eeek! A demon!

Death is Yonder falls into an open grave with a sickening crunch. Buffy comes running back

Buffy: What is it, Willow? The vamp got away. I swear, they're getting faster.

Willow: S-ss-s see for yourself.

Dead:
Death is Yonder- lynched Day 1- Clem

[TinCow]

So, for the benefit of us unfamiliar with the show, was lynching Clem a good thing or a bad thing?

[dcmort93]

Ya was it mentioned that there would be no alignment reveal anywhere?

[Romanic]

I'm surprised that there's no alignment reveal. The first two Buffy games by Autolycus had these reveals.

Clem, from the Wiki (http://buffy.wikia.com/wiki/Clem), looks like a friend of Buffy, so I'd guess this wasn't a good lynch even though he is a demon.

[autolycus]

As stated in the opening post: "Roles will be revealed on death, but not Team"
You can try to make generalizations based off of the canon wiki, but you can never be sure. I've done this for a number of reasons, not least that scum can be much more effective deceivers post-death if the town isn't told their scum.

[dcmort93]

oh goodness, I remember the last game where there was no alignment reveal on death was utter chaos, and it was a small game

[Captain Blackadder]

So, for the benefit of us unfamiliar with the show, was lynching Clem a good thing or a bad thing?

From what I can tell it is a maybe he certainly wasn't pro town but he was not outright evil either in the show. Wiki says he was ea relatively benign demon who appears in Seasons Six and Seven, played by James Charles Leary. Clem has large, floppy ears, loose skin, and a friendly disposition, despite being a demon who eats kittens, something that he later stops doing for health and moral reasons.

[Death is yonder]

There's no such thing as trying to hard for Day 1, it's such a bad argument that I've seen used by scums before. It's much better to be trying than giving fluff reasons, or a random vote. Town work starts on Day 1, not later.

unvote Skooma; vote: Death is yonder

If you show me a game where you made a day 1 vote with the same argument, and you were Town, I will unvote you, otherwise my vote stays on you.

Also, Yaro was wanting to lynch a less active player, for strategic reasons, and I agree with him: Given no alternative, it's preferable to lynch a lurker on day 1 (if only to teach them that lurking is unacceptable!)

How about I show you a game where I had exams the day before I made the vote, exams on the day I made the vote, and exams on the day after I made the vote? :clown:

Yes it was a cheap cop out, but I was busy and super tired and it was Day 1.

Do I get to say I told you so after the game? :tongue:

Anyway, I guess this is a refreshing change? First time ever being lynched on Day 1 :laugh4:

Edit: Voting for people based on past experiences is hardly fair hmm Romanic? :thinking:

Sorry DIY. :(

I'm not sure which part of my accusation you judge unfair. Accusing you of following a scummy behavior (voting someone for trying too hard on Day 1) is definitely fair. I can quote you on a game where Beefy accused me of the same thing on Day 1, and he was mafia. Pretty sure I could dig other cases of this too. It doesn't make it an universal rule, but I thought I had something. Apparently I was wrong.

Angel, Season 1, Episode 1: Nightfall
Slow pan aerial view of an alley in L.A. thefluffyone is walking down it, looking nervously in both directions

thefluffyone: I don't even know what I'm looking for, what I'm doing out here. That's it, I'm calling it a night.

Zoom out to top of nearby building, where another figure is watching. Voice over commences

It's amazing what people will do when they face a threat to their very world. Some rally together to fight for what they care for. And others ... just fall apart.

Cue theme music (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8g4yJjUSw38) and opening credits

http://ts1.mm.bing.net/images/thumbnail.aspx?q=410633510856&id=1140e77e0481cfe7fd1965342878dda4

We're looking at a parking lot. ACIN walks across it to a pickup. He starts to unlock it, then stops

acin: Angel, I know you're watching me. Come on out, we know each other far too well for your intimidation tricks to work on me. I know where you are. You're in the shadows over there. Well, I don't know what's caused all this, no more than you do. Angel? Angel?

A crossbow emerges from the darkness, a bolt, or is it a stake, is fired. It strikes acin, and he falls, dead.


http://images3.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20080129013814/buffy/images/thumb/3/33/Lindsey.jpg/225px-Lindsey.jpg
Acin was Lindsey!!!! (http://buffy.wikia.com/wiki/Lindsey_McDonald)

Voiceover: Some die quickly, others slowly, but all who are alone fall.


Cut to a rooftop, where Warman88 is walking armed for trouble.

Warman88: Show some Initiative! That was always the old joke. Well, that's over, except for me. I remain, taking action on my own. Fighting for the ones I love, in a good American way!

The following should almost all be in italics as it's stage directions, but that get's annoying, so I'm just going to use standard text.

Warman is tapped on the shoulder. He turns to see a figure, dressed meticulously. A hat conceals his face.

Figure: Looking for me?

Warman: Actually, no. Now if you'll excuse me.

Warman starts walking off across the rooftop. Figure steps out in front of him.

Figure: Well, I was looking for you.

Warman Not interested. Go away.

Warman takes off at a run, down a fire escape through several alleys and emerges on a main drag. Figure is standing at the bus stop.

Figure: Too bad. I've found you, and you'll have to deal with me.

Warman: Fine.

Warman unslings his gun and opens fire on the figure. The figure falls. He bends over to check if it's dead, when hears the sound of his bullets, striking glass.
Warman begins to straighten up, but the figure grabs his head and yanks him back down.

Warman: But, that's impossible. I just fired at you from point blank range, with an automatic.!!

Figure: too bad.

The figure snaps Warman's neck, then stabs him repeatedly for good measure.


http://images1.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20071209060324/buffy/images/thumb/5/5d/RileyFinn.JPG/225px-RileyFinn.JPG
Warman was Riley Finn (http://buffy.wikia.com/wiki/Riley)

Voiceover: As Night falls across the land, perhaps forever, in the end, we are all ... alone.

Hmmmmmmm.....

[Yaropolk]

Well cat is out of the bag - I'm indeed Doyle, one of the main pro town characters in the original writeup at the beginning of the show. I am a recruiter for the Los Angeles town faction. My power is to recruit, but I can't tell who is recruitable and who is not. If I hit an unrecruitable, my identity is revealed. I gambled on the fact that if I hit an unrecruitable if it's another town faction they would look up my character and contact me privately instead of revealing me to the whole world.

Now Mr DcMort - which faction are you that makes you so unrecruitable to a townie? And why did you feel the need to sell me out rather than contact me privately?

vote: dcmort

Will the following people please contact me:
Buffy

That sounds legit and being exposed on recruit seems unlikely for a scum ability now that I think of it, don't believe dcmort's claiming of it makes him scum though, he could just keep quiet and kill you.

Since both Yaropolk and Dc agree that he is Doyle and Doyle is a good guy anyone who is not recruitable to the side of good is ether bad or neutral and until we know such things. I think Yaro is a bad choice under the new light.

We don't know how recruiting works yet.

I don't think unrecruitable scum who got caught would come into the thread acting like they caught someone themselves...

Being exposed after a failed recruiting is not necessarily Town. You weren't playing in Zelda on TWC but many of us were, and this game is one of the two inspirations for this one by Autolycus (with Lylat Wars). In Zelda, any failed attempt (Mafia, Cult or Town) would result in the recruiter being exposed to his target. However the anti-Town teams had scanning abilities to look for possible recruits.

It's a risk/reward thing: Do you recruit in the dark, or do you scan before attempting it? Makes more sense to scan first unless you're desperate.

However Yaro is very likely legit here because of the role he claimed, confirmed by dcmort: He's Doyle, from Angel Investigations, who would likely be part of the LA team. Could this be a cover role? If the rules are the same than Zelda: No. Real roles were always revealed upon a failed recruitment.

True but I do want some explanation as to why dcmort decided to tell us all rather then contacting Yaro in private since a quick read of the wiki says that he is a founding member of Angel Investigation.

Important Game Information, which I will also be adding to front page
As usual, this information may or may not be relevant to tonight, but I realized should be publically available.
Phase end will always be 10 pm Eastern unless I specify differently, regardless of my being around.
For gameplay reasons, vampires will not be mentioned as turning to dust, i.e. people may turn to dust upon death, but I won't be telling you that.
Scans occur after conversions.
Role-blocks do not appear in the phase posts.
Successful Conversions do not appear in the phase posts.
You are always welcome to PM me questions or post them here. I may choose to not give you an answer, I may even choose not to respond at all. You have been warned.
^This,

by Autolycus, makes it even more likely that recruiting for similar to Zelda. Conversions occuring before scanning, meaning that a scanner is sure to get a right scan result (unlike Zelda, I think, where scan results were happening before conversion, leading to some recruiters being exposed. I'm not 100% sure of this, but Renata, ATPG or another mafia members should confirm).

[Romanic]

And I agree that dcmort should have looked up who Doyle is before reporting a failed recruiting attempt on him. If he's innocent, he's giving away an important role.

Cool. I guess the trend is to murder me first night instead of having everyone bandwagon me all the time.

That falls under pizza's definition of townie behavior, unfortunately.

Mafia typically play a bit more carefully than that.

I guess DCMort has to spill the Beans on who he is. Only then can we decide what to do, there is the decent chance that he is simply from ?Summerdale? and a Buffy character, probabably not recruitable for the L.A. team.

Vote: DCMort

[classical_hero]

Vote:dcmort He does have some explaining to do as to why he revealed an innocent person.

[Askthepizzaguy]

Mkay that's plenty of votes on the obviously innocent dcmort. :no:


He's played this sort of game before, many, many times. If he were mafia, he wouldn't have made that mistake. This is a classic townie blunder.

[Ironside]

Vote: Abstain

I'll probably vote properly later.

While we need dcmort's role to be certain (as why the recruitment failed), it's a bit odd with a townie recruiter unless there's quite a bit of neutrals in this game. Doyle is admittably a strong pro-town role on the surface though.

That could be connected with no faction reveals at death, but no faction reveals might as well hide a lack of cover roles. And if this game lacks cover roles, I doubt we'll see roles like Drucilla (always evil vampire) in that case.

Going slighty meta, is Yaro known to use heavy bluffs as mafia?

Since it is such an obvious "town" strategy, could a mafia now use said strategy to make him look innocent?

I encourage it. That way, when 4-5 townies reflexively bandwagon the silly nut, and he dies, we can all laugh at him.


BTW: It isn't a town "strategy" it's more of a town "reflex/voting without thinking" which townies are prone to do.

Meh, I won't weep and gnash my teeth if he gets lynched. He may not be scum, but you're exaggerating just a little when you say he's "obviously innocent." At best, his actions are WIFOM. That said, I agree that he's got enough votes on him; no need to push that wagon any further.

acin-killed night 1-Lindsey
Warman88-killed night 1-Riley

For those that don't know, Lindsey McDonald was a mixed bag in the show, sometimes working alongside Angel Investigations and at other times opposing them; Angel eventually had him killed because he was too much trouble. Possibly a neutral role recruitable by AI or their mafia counterparts, which are probably the Circle of the Black Thorn.

Riley Finn was Buffy's boyfriend in Season Four; a soldier who worked with the government-backed Initiative to investigate the supernatural activity in Sunnydale. More than likely a town role, probably had a Buffy-related personal goal.


Cool. I guess the trend is to murder me first night instead of having everyone bandwagon me all the time.

I think now might be a good time for Sasaki to explain why he anointed you yesterday; he stated "wait and see" and now you're dead... what gives?

The opening post states that this is a high conversion game, though.

Think of Lylat Wars; not only could Andross convert mooks to his cause, but Star Wolf and Star Fox were also capable of drafting power roles into their ranks, such as Pigma or Katt.

Far from it. You're like me, as active when dead as alive, so not much of a loss if you die as a townie.

Plus, there's something about your posts regarding dcmort that strikes me as being more manipulative than helpful.

Why comment on the recruitment then vote for someone else?

[Renata]

It's a risk/reward thing: Do you recruit in the dark, or do you scan before attempting it? Makes more sense to scan first unless you're desperate.

And the corollary -- who'd be that desperate on night one?

About dcmort: I just played a game with him as scum and he was all but paralyzed by the role; this sort of impulsive behavior feels more like him as a townie.
