Hi there, this is the observer thread for the ongoing Trouble in the Lucas Arts Multiverse game. All dead players will congregate here. Please keep it spoiler-free, so you can guess along with the players. Unless everyone present agrees that you want spoilers from a dead person.

Guybrush vs. LeChuck. The final bout. And so many great characters with them like Indy and Manny Calavera. This is gonna be good! Wish I could be there instead of here behind the fake mirror.
@lift don't mind me if I disappear for days at a time, especially during the weekends.
BTW, Observer thread working successfully.

Hi Pooka, I just added you. You're welcome to lurk here instead of in the GOG forum! ;-)

Hi! Watch me lurk through this whole gam- actually come to think of it I haven't got the game thread open, so I might well be observing nothing now XD

Okay nothing interesting going on from this quick skim of the two pages. RWarehall makes a good point about different cultures though, it's not just a strength of forum mafia but also the internet as a whole. By not hyperfocusing on the USA or whatever, you learn a lot about other people and the way they live, which is always fun.

That's true. But it comes with a slower pace. Which is a matter of taste. I like the slower pace and was stressed by my attempts to play at MU. But those who are used to a thrilling, fast paced game may lose interest over the weeks that a GOG game runs.

Welcome to the dead thread, bucktoothgamer! I personally like "thread of the dead" but eh. Glad to see my first GOG foray as scum went so well.

I just didn't want to leave my scumbuddies at such a disadvantage early on, but it's also nice to know that I'm no longer under the "he's new, don't kill him day 1" banner.

Welcome bucktooth and LordCephy. Sorry that I couldn't write much so far but Real Life kept me away from the game. And "congratulations" bucktooth but yes you're indeed far from a noob by now.
Huh. A scum caught on D1? Now that's a rarity. Could Gog Townies be getting better at unrooting scum?
Nah it's more likely either a NAI slip by the unlucky lynchee which happened to be scum this time, or the random "we have to lynch someone, anyone" roulette hit a jackpot. I'll go back to reading D1 to confirm.
Still on #250, so far I have seen nothing that would make me suspect anyone. But I picked a few things that would make me believe a few townies are indeed townies. None of the actual scum were part of it, so yay me?

I think HSL really picked up on the fact that I was hesitant to jump on a feasible wagon this time, when last game my first couple days was "let's just build wagons and see what happens". At least that's what I'll tell myself, don't want to believe that my first time as scum was just SO obvious from the start.
LordCephy - I just hope your request for replacement wasn't due to you still feeling like an outsider in a private club. I know the community can get pretty abbreviation happy and reference prior games but we really do always hope to make new players feel welcome.

Just in case Lord Cephy has no time to reply here: no, it was an RL problem that made this replacement necessary.

I'm on Pacific time zone (GMT-8). It was entirely due to a kitchen fire on Sunday caused my an elderly relative that lives here. She had previously went on this cleaning rampage in my bathroom (which I cited in post #349 and #356), which caused me to barricade myself in one of the bedrooms with my laptop to get away from the chemical smell form the cleaning products. The consequence is that I only came to realize that she decided to cook something and forget about it when I noticed the smell of burning. If that wasn't bad enough, I move to the dining room to keep an eye on the kitchen only to have her take a fall in the kitchen with me right there.
This is why I just up and disappeared.
Anyway, I need to go offline for a bit as she's outside picking fruit. We're under a heat advisory today, so I want to make sure that she is back in the house within an hour.

And everyone's back in the house. It's supposed to hit 102 F (38.8889 C) today, which is unusual for June. That's normally August/September weather, so I'm really not looking forward to those months.

If I wasn't dealing with real life stuff and paying attention to the thread, I would have voted for stating your roll was Bomb.

*reading Catte's post #452* Just stick the knife in AND twist it while youre at it Catte. That leads me to the question: why didn't you use the sample PM provided in the OP? There even is a sample PM for power roles. They are provided to prevent the 'let's compare PMs' game-breaking strategy. In other words: they are there for the benefit of scum players so that they can taylor their claims to the role PMs that Town got. So your statement of having been volunteered for something instead of saying that you were given a power was an indication that you made your claim up, since your PM obviously didn't follow the (publicly known) Town PM pattern.

So your statement of having been volunteered for something instead of saying that you were given a power was an indication that you made your claim up, since your PM obviously didn't follow the (publicly known) Town PM pattern. Frostburn hit the nail on the head partially. So when people were begging for a claim I had to skim through the mafiascum wiki to find a PR that 1. wasnt going to be called right away(doctor, cop) 2. gives a logical reason of why I didnt end up the NK if my claim was believed and wasnt lynched. When I saw the bomb role I thought it could work in a pinch, but also thought that it would be odd for that stipulation to be seen as a "power" as opposed to a curse. Granted I was also doing all this on mobile in the middle of my work shift so was not my best work.
TL;DR: I completely overlooked the sample PR pm and how it could assist scum with falsifying a PR

Ah well, writing from a mobile under pressure is difficult. And frankly I don't remember any non-evil Lucas Arts character that would be consistent with a Bomb PR. So you were in a tough spot indeed.

Buck was way more suspicious than Frost, who turned out to be NOT mafia. It wasn't just not matching the sample PM. It was the role claim itself of bomb.
If my role is bomb, I want the mafia to take me out at night because I know that I'm going to take one of them out with me. The town doesn't go around targeting people at night to kill them off so by advertising your fake role, you're saying - "Don't kill me mafia because I'll blow one of you up." Meanwhile the town should take at face value that the reason you're not getting killed at night is because you advertised having a role where you would want to get killed at night.
