I hope you know that Im not even close to scum.

Thats a terribad responce, let me rephrase why Im not scum. (Im not going to quote you because I'm too lazy, sue me :P)

What a spectacle. Let me guess, you're going to change your vote again, since you know that this train will lead nowhere, silly scumlord.
No, I misvoted. My reasons for voting you are on my last post.

I don't trust Cloud, but whatever his gambits - you're infinitely more fickle and dangerous than him, Nanaki.
I am dangerous, Im blade O.o... What gambit do you think Cloud is pulling?

I'm not sure how voting Cloud is mutually exclusive from scumhunting, especially since the forced discussion will reveal significant amounts of information. You're just playing the lynch-go-round game, which will result in no pressure, and certainly no lynch (when it's necessary against the 2+/3 KPN in the setup.)

I'm not exactly sure at the moment, but I have some ideas that I need to think about Cloud.

Why force someone who isn't really scummy to reveal? We would be better off getting someone who is scummy to reveal.

If you have something on Cloud, by all means tell us.

[Nanaki]

You Lurkers are killing me.
I saw Scarlet and Barret Wallace looking at this, and they didn't post something.

[Elixir]

Nix licked her lips, she couldn't wait any longer.

She made some hand movements under her cloak and then snapped her fingers.

Nanaki's body burst into flames.

The entire bar was evacuated onto the street and the fire department is currently dealing with the fire in the bar...

We'll need to ask them what they found on Nanaki's body before the next fireworks session...

8 votes are needed to lynch.

2 - Cloud Strife (Tifa Lockhart, Scarlet)
1 - Tifa Lockhart (Cloud Strife)

edit 1 - I've looked into this pm limit some of you have reported. It should be raised now.

[Lucrecia Crescent]

hi guys

@ rufus shinra
How old are you, and how long have you been that age

[Lucrecia Crescent]

Also good to know you wanted to lynch the lurker you know nothing about tifa. seems like looking for a scapegoat.
Now, I wasnt modkilled, it is my principle to lurk day 1 because it had made my life longer in FM generally.

I know the identity of Rufus Shinra and he knows mine. Having that in mind, he can not just retardedly accuse me now because I will immediately know its shady. After I have discovered the identity of Rufus Shinra he had stopped lukring and hiding his identity completely, and started posting.

Rufus Shinra, however, is counterattacking the guy who brought up a valid point against Tifa.
I generally am suspicious to people like Tifa and even the blonde guy avatar person who wante dme shot day 1, directing the attention on the poeple who pretty much are a blank spot and nothing could be dont about them.

[Elixir]

With no discussion and no lynch in sight, and me having to go out, i have to end this about 20 mins earlier. I will be replacing people tonight if they dont pm me. I wont be telling you who, though.

Spoiler : oldmusic :

Fireworks Session Two:

The firefighters had been trying to contain the blazing bar for the better part of the hour, with onlookers unsure what was happening. One solemn firefighter walked from the blazing wreck of the bar to the owner... They were discussing damages... The way we saw the barkeep broke down... I don't think he was insured.

But to more important matters, the firefighter approached the group whom he assumed were Nanaki's friends and dropped his voice. "You have to keep this on the down low... I know he might have been your friend but the town doesn't need to know their Mayor is dead right now". A few witnesses couldn't hold their shock in, Nanaki was Vincent Bertrand? Joseph Bertrands astranged son who took control of the city when the city's savior, vornksr, dissapeared? (Well... he was missing until we found him dead earlier tonight).

The town continued to party... blissfully unaware that their Mayor had just been set ablaze by a lunatic.

The fireworks began on schedule.

6Hours 15 Minutes Until Sunrise.

[Elixir]

Day will begin shortly.

I'm being preoccupied by 1.5 work.

[Elixir]

Firefighters were still trying to determine the cause of the blaze that ripped about a local bar this past hour. The group let in on privvy knowledge that the Mayor was dead seeing as the firefighter thought they were friends and they already knew who he was.

The fireworks teared through the sky as a blissfully unaware party crowd looked on with awe. Passing off the fire in the bar for some party act on the side of the building.

Meanwhile, Cole was running out of time... Daybreak was approaching, and with it the loss of his will to Bloody Mary.

When the witnesses reconvened they now had a bunch of bodies and a burning building to account for... man this one's going to be tough to explain to the cops. Right Barret? They turned to face Barret who had remained awfully quiet the past few minutes sitting on his own on the park bench... his head dropped onto the glowsticks around his neck as if he was asleep...

Then they noticed the blood.

A note was found in his hand:

Last Will: Kind of Ironic that I died tonight - just before I was going to begin contributing properly. Oh well ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

What the hell is going on?

6 Hours 0 Minutes Until Sunrise.

[Bugenhagen]

KAYSO
I REPLACED SOMEONE.
Just thought I'd let you pissants know there's a new Bugenhagen in town, bitches.

WHOOYEAH

[Bugenhagen]

zzzzz Can we get a little more active, pls? This could be a super fun FM if people actually contributed.

[Cloud Strife]

I might have been doused after the most active player from day 1 was doused so if I am burned hopefully a lookout or detective saw who visited me and we can lynch the arsonist afterwards.

It looks like Barret was killed by Cole and there was no mafia kill. This means that someone has probably been culted and Cole could become a big threat to us even before he joins the mafia. Killing the most active pro-town player on day 1 then killing someone who hints he is a PR looks like he wants to do as much damage as possible so that he can easily win if culted.

We should aim to lynch someone today. There are 8 town and 4 scum with Cole providing a third KPN so tomorrow we could lose the majority.

[Scarlet]

damn man, do we have any investigative roles?... with 4 mafia, they will be more then likely sticking up for each other, so chances are we are going to lynch a townie... we need some sort of lead to go on here... and hope the priest is kickin ass :-/

[Cloud Strife]

There's 2-3 mafia not 4. I corrected you yesterday so are you getting it wrong on purpose or did you just forget?

we need to stay on top of mafia, there are now 3 mafia I am guessing because no one died, someone obviously got cultia'd...

@ Scarlet

Check the first post on day 1, it has the graveyard information. 2 people died so no one has been culted.

because at this point with no information, and not everyone posting their night effects/leads... only scum would want to lynch train... we should not pressure until the end of the day is near or everyone has given their actions/leads

You said I was scummy for pressuring someone because "we should not pressure until the end of the day is near" but you didn't do anything towards the end of the day and instead joined a pressure vote on me at the start of the day. Do you still stand by your vote on me? If not please vote someone and do something more useful today.

I forgot that Aeris was another person that disappeared yesterday so I would like to hear from her or her replacement. Reeve and Reno missed day 2 as well so -vote Reno to pressure him into contributing.

Going off for a bit. Can't answer any questions. Be right back.

Early on in the day you said you would be gone for a bit, which is fair enough, but you didn't come back at all when you were our main line of questioning. Scum can easily get away with this because there aren't enough active players to pressure them so if you don't come back you'll have my vote.

[Elena]

Hey guys, nothing happened to me this night either.

Cloud seems like a cool guy who doesn't afraid of anything so let's help him pressure Reno.

-vote Reno

[Elixir]

There are 12 players alive. It will take 7 votes to lynch.

Lynch Tally

Reno (L-4): Cloud Strife, Elena, Rufus Shinra

[Vincent Valentine]

Feedback Message: None

I agree that the players need to be more active (for both fun and because it gives mafia/nix too much of a shield).
I'm guessing the current standing is at 3 maf - 1 nix - 1 neutral - 7 town.
We still have 3 confirmed citizens, so the priest still has some play in the game. Odds are that the mafia culted a PR though. 4 (2 Hidden Town) PR v 3 cits (excluding priest)
Cole should be careful in his targets since he has a 7/11 chance to hit town and that percentage will grow if we lynch correctly today. 2 are confirmed PRs and I bet the other 2 are most likely PRs as well.
We only have a confirmed mason and vigilante - I would assume that Elixir provided other PRs for the town otherwise we would hardly have a chance at victory.

tl;dr - be more active.

-Vote Reno

[Vincent Valentine]

That's 5/7

[Lucrecia Crescent]

calm the fuck down wagoning a lurker

[Cloud Strife]

calm the fuck down wagoning a lurker

What do you propose we do instead?

[Cloud Strife]

Those votes piled up quick.

Reno (4/7): Cloud Strife, Elena, Rufus Shinra, Vincent Valentine

And it's what Cid Highwind said, everyone should contribute, it's not really that hard, if you don't have time please request to be replaced by elixir

Have you been replaced, Reno?

We're 6 hours past day start so someone could go up in flames at any time. Please try to make one post before you go.

Who do you find suspicious, Bugenhagen? We didn't hear much from the guy you replaced.

[Lucrecia Crescent]

I'm Zeke Dunbar aka sheriff.

Day 1 i went and checked rufus because he's a shady motherfucker
Rufus came up not a vampire. He's a shady motherfucker still might be Nix. He does shit all for being town kinda weird.

Day 2 I voted tifa because of scapegoating and her relationship to Cloud and Rufus, and Yuffie came right ahead on a white horse in shining armor and voted me for "wagoning" tifa while being the only voter

Both bitches seemed highly suspicious so I went ahead and checked Yuffie. Yuffie came back vampire.


So my theory is now, that Tifa is a mafia bitch, Yuffie is proven mafia bitch by my investigation, both probably on team because one fiercely defended another while a mafia would hope that town would drown rather than defend them.

-vote Yuffie

[Cloud Strife]

Sounds convincing. You should take your vote off until a bit later in the day when we've heard from more people. We need to use as much of the day time as possible to get people talking.

If you're the real Zeke please claim as there is likely to be some sort of protective role in the role list. I don't think there will be any claims but you never know.

[Scarlet]

Why pressuring someone else is fine, but when we have a legitimate lead you wouldn't want to put pressure on them... I'd like to see what they have to say about the accusation...

-Vote Yuffie

[Lucrecia Crescent]

I'm keepng my vote because it's only one vote and Yuffie is nowhere near being hammered.
She needs to defend herself too. Why pressuring a lurker more justified than pressuring someone there are results on?

[Cloud Strife]

We don't need to pressure someone who has been found mafia by the sheriff unless this is gambit and you're not the sheriff. If you're not the sheriff then forcing him to out himself won't be helping town and I think you should retract your claim. If you are the sheriff then Yuffie is confirmed mafia and focusing on her will let lurkers and scum slip under the radar while no one is interested in them.

There's 2-3 mafia not 4. I corrected you yesterday so are you getting it wrong on purpose or did you just forget?

You said I was scummy for pressuring someone because "we should not pressure until the end of the day is near" but you didn't do anything towards the end of the day and instead joined a pressure vote on me at the start of the day. Do you still stand by your vote on me? If not please vote someone and do something more useful today.

Can you please respond to this, Scarlet?

Can you please respond to this, Scarlet?

I am will to bet Cloud is mafia, trying to stick up for mafia buddy... first he puts pressure on a lurker, then when evidence comes, he refuses to switch his vote even though... and he admits that everyone would be voting for Yuffie... so why keep your vote on someone who is not going to be pressured anyways?... and then tell people to make sure not to get too close to lynching, and to vote for lurkers... when you know because of the infrequency of people posting and checking in that if we do not pile our votes on yuffie that she might not get lynched today...

and then you turn to me, because I said there was 4 mafia... RIGHT after someone else said there was 4 mafia, to try and take the heat off of yuffie over something insignificant... seems like your accusing everyone but the ones that seem to have evidence against them... I do not trust you one bit sir... is anyone else getting this vibe...

I think you doth protest yuffies lynch too much sir

good day sir

No , cloud made a good decision, if we hold the votes for a while we can BOTH kill a suspected scum and more information. I think that Nix will ignite anytime before fireworks

[Vincent Valentine]

Agreed. And so far I agree with what Cloud says as well. However, he could just be herding us. For now, I will listen though.

Time to pressure this scum.

I've read the thread. Should be no problems with me voting Yuffie right? I am inclined to trust this sheriff claim.

I SAID GOOD DAY

I don't think you read much of what I said. Pressuring confirmed scum isn't very helpful as any good scum wouldn't post and his mafia buddies aren't going to defend him either. Maybe you wanted day to end early but I'd like to use to use it to do some more scum hunting even if I'm the only one trying to do it. I told Vincent to control the hammer and I was also holding back my vote so I can hammer at any time. If I had voted day would be over now. How could I know that even Aeris and Reeve's replacements wouldn't talk? I expected we would have more discussion than this.

No one else said there was 4 mafia. You said there was 3 mafia yesterday and I told you that was impossible and everyone else knew the mafia hadn't culted. So ignoring that from yesterday you say there are 4 mafia so either you're playing dumb twice or you're getting it wrong twice after being corrected the first time. Maybe you often to stuff like that but i don't know your COM name well.

really I did it to prove a point, but he does seem scummy to me... he had no reason behind his vote, atleast have a basis... and then he quickly defended himself, but with no real reason why we shouldn't... then tried to turn it on me... all this makes him the most suspicious to me

Twice you've said I turned on you when both times I haven't said much about you while also asking others questions. These are the only 3 posts I made about you but you got very defensive after I said them. On the other hand you've "turned on me" and outright accused me of being mafia while all I've done is ask you a few questions.

I'm surprised no one has been burned yet. Is there a tactical reason not to burn today? I'd have done it as soon as possible.

@ Scarlet

Check the first post on day 1, it has the graveyard information. 2 people died so no one has been culted. 3 scum makes it difficult to lynch correctly when the average amount of posts per player is 2 so we need to generate discussion by voting people. Why do you think I am more likely to be scum than Tifa or everyone else?

That's quite hypocritical of you as you just added your vote to a lynch train. I'm not scum and I want to pressure vote to get information because so far none has come forward. We're almost half way through the day and if we wait until the last few hours we won't have enough time to do anything. It is more informative for town than scum if everyone votes their suspects and it is common practice to do so.

There's 2-3 mafia not 4. I corrected you yesterday so are you getting it wrong on purpose or did you just forget?

You said I was scummy for pressuring someone because "we should not pressure until the end of the day is near" but you didn't do anything towards the end of the day and instead joined a pressure vote on me at the start of the day.

So now I need to think bad town or scum. -vote Scarlet for now.

Better to pressure off a lead than a random person. I don't see why anyone would lie about being a sheriff. We finally have some activity. THANK GOD!

[Lucrecia Crescent]

gambiting citizens lie, but a citizen would be reluctant to clear a person, such as rufus
who btw is lurking

[Lucrecia Crescent]

Got to go for 8ish hours, so I won't be unvoting.

[Vincent Valentine]

Cloud has a point about letting others lurk if we focus on someone with evidence. HOWEVER, we may not be able to lynch the mafia if everyone lurks. We only have a certain time frame to gather votes and the activity of this game leads me to believe that it would be almost impossible to lynch unless we start votes early. With this pool of inactive players we would be lucky to get pressure on someone and then be able to vote someone else.

[Cloud Strife]

If Cole shoots Reno, Aeris or Reeve tonight then alright but I'll keep my vote on Reno as I'll be on to change it later.

Don't let Yuffie get past L-2. If you know you are going to be on at the end of the day, unvote and let a lurker vote so that you have control over when to hammer.

[Tifa Lockhart]

I have no idea how we are going to win with this level of activity. Reno, Reeve and Aeris show no sign of coming back after they disappeared days ago. Elena pops in every day to say nothing and Scarlet, Tifa and Rufus aren't much better. Bugenhagen actually got replaced but even his replacement has gone afk.

This is your only post since you came under fire then disappeared on day 2. Do you think you have been doing a good job at helping the town? You are in danger of being shot by Cole tonight if you don't start contributing and defending yourself from the accusations the sheriff has made against you. The sheriff's word carries a lot of weight and imo you are one of the best targets to shoot tonight if you don't do anything about it.

Aight aight!
Fine...

So about me not posting after I said brb, there was a legitimate real life excuse for that. I doubt if any of you actually want to hear it. I thought I could be back fast enough to post before the day ends. Sadly, I was wrong.
Now about my pressure voting Lucrecia, I had no evidence to back up my suspicion apart from the fact that she could not post at that time. It was too early in the game for a roleclaim so I did not want to force a claim out of her yet. I just wanted her to speak up. And yes, I do believe you are town Cloud.

I can't think of anything else to write about.

[Bugenhagen]

Aight aight!
Fine...


*says the bare minimum to cover my ass and take FoS off of me*

Ya ok Tifa, you do that, hun. You're totally under the radar now ;)

Either way, since sheriff says Yuffie is a vamper, I would be voting her, but she's 5/7 and I don't want to allow any lurkers to hammer and run away giggling.

When does day end?

[Reno]

I AM REPLACED
I will give everything I think right now
Cloud- seems very townish, want's to pressure lots of suspected people
Tifa, rufus scarlet bugenhagen elena all just came once in a while to vote someone, I'd say that a scum is probably among them
Personally I think that the cultfia would recruit lurkers, that way the vampire can stay out of suspicion, but if we carefully examine the time in which Nix burn maybe we cangget to see who is the arson . I will constantly be updating my leads every 3 hours or so ( my break time ), if yuffie doesn't come in the next 3-5 hours we should lynch while we have the chance

How could Reno expect town to believe he was replaced when he doesn't try to change his writing style at all? He uses his characteristic spaces between full stops and no full stops at the end of a paragraph. I find it hard to believe mafia could be that stupid but then again town would be stupid to lie about being replaced unless they were joking.
