The Settlement [Concluded]

[Sigurd]

Having hosted two games where I have handed the Mafia cover roles, I suspect RR did the same in this one.
Why? because basically nothing is illegal in this game short of screen shots.
BUT, I suspect a lot of the information we receive by PM or reveals will be bogus or misleading, even though its messengers might not know it is.

Questions:

• Did the usurpers plant a magic stone on pevergreen to frame Ares?
• Did the usurper Ares make a grave mistake by killing pevergreen?
• Is this a plot by the good men to get rid of us (the men)?
• Are all good men usurpers?

There is a gamble in either believing the night result or to consider it a fabrication.

The coin says vote: Ares

One of the good men were also murdered.

If you want questions answered just list them and I'll reply

Did the usurpers plant a magic stone on pevergreen to frame Ares?

This would be a logical explanation, but if I were mafia and had that ability, I wouldn't waste it on round one...even if I could do it every round I would probably just use it in the endgame.

Are all good men usurpers?

That would be extremely unbalanced. Considering voting power, the usurpers could theoretically win on Day 1. Frankly, I'm surprised that this didn't occur to you.

The last two questions were tongue in cheek and part of my role playing.

• Are all good men usurpers?

I don't think so. I was a good man and the kill writeup stated my role, which was scribe. (No abilities and battle rating of 1)

Well there you have it. We're really just a bunch of sissies. Except the soldiers, I bet those guys are big as oxes.

Me big, me smash puny farmers.

I think the discussion about whether Ares' role PM was fake or not is pointless. All this talk about the presence or lack of an introduction line is a waste of time. If that role PM is fake, it was an extremely good forgery. It mimics Reenk's writing style perfectly, and is laced with just the proper amount of humor throughout. No one would make that good of a forgery and then not put in the standard greeting line that we ALL got. It is far more likely that Ares is telling the truth and didn't post it at first because he didn't think it was actually part of the role. This is consistent with him not posting the joke earlier as well. As for the formating, I've seen that happen many times with real role PMs. It happens when people simply highlight and copy what they see in their PM box instead of hitting reply and using the formated text inside the reply box. The better point of discussion is whether the current situation seems like a frame attempt or whether it seems like a legitimate reveal of a mafioso.

Also...

Vote: FactionHeir

I agree with Sasaki and GH that his reply raised an eyebrow. This line in particular seems like a typical mafioso attempt to participate in discussion and analysis without actually saying anything:

Any thoughts about the first kill btw? Seemed to be a smoker or somesuch.

[seireikhaan]

I shall Vote: TinCow, as his behavior seems off
And if thee are innocent, my hat I shall doff.

This isn't like you (as townie)--you generally read more carefully. You are striking at straw men and ignoring what has been said. The claim isn't that the pm is a forgery.

shlin and W_E took up several posts discussing the formating of Ares' role PM and the intro line. They were the target of my response.

No.
Yes.
Maybe.
I have no idea.

I've skipped about 20 posts. I shall continue to follow this game however.

Who was I? I was a secret role. I had no abilities, save things that may pop up.

I may reveal my role, just no direct quotes, according to the PM from reenk.

I am the village idiot! I ask lots of questions and annoy people a lot. They try to kill me before the god Pisuf takes me away and puts me somewhere else, thus continuing the cycle. This time, Pisuf got his powers taken away by the other gods, so being his chosen one doesnt help anymore (He considered me the greatest human alive)

My battle rating was 1, my victory was outlasting the usurpers.

I was given a cover role, that of a Farmer.

If there are other farmers, when/if they reveal I can verify the PM.

In the PM which Reenk told me I was dead, he said that at least my special ability came into play.
