Will the unsociables in the center bear closer examination?
I'm puzzled by your role PM editing, since there were 3 attackers...
Did you really not get that? Yeesh. Ask TLD, perhaps he understood.
It was probably an attempt to lure the scums into mistake by copying his falsified role PM.
At first I thought that, but then, seeing how he spoke of repeating vengeance, I seen it as his way of clearing himself...
Of course it's WIFOM to bring this up now, no question, on the other hand we saw three killers last night and he's already lynched so, yeah. :shrug:
So one of the killers spoke with a hammy scottish accent. Will the audition with the hammy scottish accent therefore be mafia? I'm still not certain what degree of intelligence we're sposed to be gleaning from these auditions - perhaps someone who has played jhts games before can bring me up to speed.
I assume I'm way off the mark here, as no one has mentioned it so far, and as a 'clue' its as obvious as being hit in the face with the murder weapon, but Speaking of national stereotyping: Is it me or is Arjos' brazen reveal actually incredibly incriminating? 'Rudi' is a fake fat Italian Ninja after all.
vote: Arjos for being a fake fat Italian ninja - until someone points out that I'm being incredibly stupid, at which point I'll happily switch to - I don't know: A lurker maybe?
See this I don't get it, much like last day phase, monty after seeing my PM with bold town (if his plan was to get a mafia copy-pasting it), voted for me... That doesn't make sense to me...
Your audition was a success. The only success of the ones revealed. In the last game, all innocent auditions had a clear pattern over time, and the scum stood out from the rest. If this is the pattern, then you are a clear target for lynching, and perhaps also Beskar if he's not lying about his success.(Which he very well may be, thinking it may make him look innocent) The bad news is, it makes it a bit easier to forge a pm. The good news is, when someone is lynched, we'll know if they were legitimate or not.Quote:

Vote: Arjos Your death is more important then your life at this moment.
I didn't even see that monty changed his PM 'til after a second glance...
Mine is genuine, and your "success" theory doesn't make sense, plus lynched people don't get their audition up, they get kicked from the show...
If you think I forged mine, just wait 2 phases and my audition is up...
I smell something. Could it be scum?Quote:

As to the pattern, let's see a few more auditions. Or maybe those who haven't revealed yet, could go ahead and do so.
Also, I've started to wonder if maybe the "incriminating" thing about the auditions might not be the videos in and of itself (otherwise I don't get why JHT didn't prohibit us from posting them) but parts of the writeup around it.
Sorry, I couldn't resist. :shrug:Quote:

Unless something truly stands out, I'm rather more interested in analysing posts and behaviors then videos. To that effect, I'd like to understand what's so wrong with Arjos' reveal, seems fine to me. Lazy McCrow's rationale of being a "fake italian" is a clue to being mafia is tenuous I think, but what I find even more egregious is Skooma's post theorising about what a successful audition means or doesn't. That these two wild theories happen to coincide on the same person boggles my mind.
By the way, here's mine:

Looks like Flax was a success as well.
There are many factors to consider:
Pop Idol / Xfactor / Got Talent
Location of the Show
Success / Fail / Non-Serious audition (Mont's)
Male / Female / Group
Lookin like a fool.

Posted Auditions: (underlined bolded italics indicate auditions posted by JHT)
Montmorency: American Idol; Failure (?); Female
Arjos: America's Got Talent; Success; Male
Landlubber: Britan's Got Talent; Failure; Male
hero di classico: American Idol; Failure; Male
Oh! TheLastDays!: X-Factor (British Version); Failure; Male
Visorslash: Britain's Got Talent; Half-success; Male
Lazy McCrow: X-Factor (Spanish Version); Failure; Female
Skooma Addict: X-Factor (British Version); Failure; Female
The Flax: Australia's Got Talent; Success; Group of Males
Zack: American Idol; Success (?); Male
Text Claims:
Beskar (claims to be Flamboyant Frank); Successful
Yet to post auditions: Autolycus, B_Ray, Csargo, Captain Blackadder, Warman, Secura.
:uneasy: I honestly think the mass revealing of auditions is against the spirit of this game, considering the role that they were intended to play in the progression of the game. Since JHT's not openly bothered by it, I don't guess I should complain, but I will refrain from prematurely posting my own.
Anyway, I haven't actually watched any of the shows that these auditions are from, but after watching some of the ones posted so far, I really wonder what constitutes a "success", particularly with America's Got Talent. For the time being, I'll vote: Flax because his was the only one not from America or Europe.
I love your list, Landlubber, well done. :2thumbsup:
I don't think you forged your audition, I just thought it stood out and as TheFlax also points out, my reasoning was self-admittedly tenuous when I posted. However, the fact that the Arnhem Land Islander (with their Greek mafia song ;P) and the quite excellent 'General' Larry Platt/Zack also had successful auditions equally as bizarre as Arjos/Rudi makes me feel like we DO need to see more to form any opinion and the fact that none of the three had a scottish accent as well leaves me feeling like success/failure as a clue is a dead end anyway.Quote:

Seems like more of a hindrance to me and I can't help feeling suspicious of anyone who won't post theirs.
But most of all its time to hear from those who aren't posting. So I'll,
unvote: Arjos, vote: Autolycus
(damn - forgot to bold)
unvote: Arjos, vote: Autolycus
Death to Lurkers
I am pretty certain that JHT, being evil, would not make it easy for to find out who is mafia just from the release of audition tapes. That would make the game too easy and I don't think John would be that naive to make the game easy for us to get the mafia right, just from that. I am going to go with someone who hasn't released their audition tape yet. vote:SecuraQuote:

I'm with you on this; the first two games took some sort of critical thinking to solve, finding a connection between roles and how they differed from the town's, so winning the game via mass-revealing of host PMs feels a bit cheap in comparison.Quote:

Post was edited, so here's my vote again
vote: autolycus - randomised among those who have not revealed.
Vote: Captain Blackadder
One among those who didn't post the audition...
Vote:Skooma Addict
:no:Quote:
