Nah I am good just some mood swings, nothing to worry about, I tend to lead with emotions sometimes, and i should be taken the time to actual comprehend whats going on. With having scum chat its a place to vent as well. I will most likely stay out of the game for much of today. I did see cat replied so I may try to sit down tonight and concentrate on her response and how to reply. If you see something I should address sooner, please let me know as I check this chat much more often than the forum today.

In case I go out, I want to make a lame pronouns thing for fun:
SUSians' pronouns are it for singular, they/them for plural. I dunno, I figure they revel in their inhumanity so they'd be upset if they were called "he" or "she" and treated like a human.
(not to be confused with you and me as players)

Well I haven't read her response in full detail because, let's be serious... why the fuck is it all hypotheticals and scenarios? That alone should be considered anti-town play when she has the flavor literally detailing how she went about stuff. I think I should read it and call her out, but first things first, I have stuff to do...
Like the daily dose of Japanese flashcards. And working. Sometimes it's being unsure whether Morrowind or Skyrim should have my attention.

...oh wow, Catventurer is using Cluedo (or something like it) to explain her theory. Problem is, I don't know how Cluedo is played, I never played it in my life. Come to think about it, I only played the basic starter kit of games: chess, backgammon, snakes and ladders, Uno, Monopoly.

Okay, I'm now trying to make sense of those hypothetical scenarios, wish me luck. So Scenario 1 is me going to kill Micro, however Catventurer also goes to investigate Micro. She conjectures that neither of us achieve our goals, and I kill her instead. But on what basis do BOTH of our actions' targets change from Micro... to the other visitor? Something doesn't click. She uses this visual cue to show both of us running into each other just outside Micro's gameboard room. off-topic but my claims about not leaving my room technically still allows me to fake claim something other than Vanilla Town. I can claim something something some sort of clumsy doctor. I chose to protect myself by locking the door from the inside, however the way I do it is so clumsy, that it may just... break on its own. This way I don't know if my protection actually worked. In other words, without the fluff: I may get a false positive that I was protected from an attack. The problem is I want to make it super believable, so I'll have to imitate GR's writing style to produce at least one bit of fluff if I'm pushed to the edge.

Gotta say, forging a piece of flavor from the admin so I can get lynched on Day 3 instead of 2 is kinda high risk low reward, but fuck it, I'm doing it anyway. I might have to actually spend a little bit of the evening for that.
The lore is inspired by The Hitchiker's Guide to the Galaxy but not entirely, so I can get away with saying my (Geraldine Ford's) luck had me run into a suave, charismatic merchant who talked me into buying an expensive security device called the Sense-ator. It came complete with box and manual, the latter of which I lost. I can technically use it but I'm not sure what the different modes are so the results tend to be unreliable. I dunno.

(underlining mine) Good luck with (also apologies for) that :)

Scenario 2 pushes her assumptions to the max that she'd be killed for using her role instead of us killing (or attempting to) our targets. That would be a horribly balanced game by the way. Normally our job as Mafia is to figure out who are the power roles and leave only the vanilla towns. If Catventurer chancing into a Mafioso means her death, that means not only can't she relay that information to us, but the game itself is handing us the power roles on a platter of silver. Part of the fun of playing as Mafia is to figure out the dangerous Townies and destroy them before they oust you - where is that fun if running into a scumbuddy just goes like that?
Yeah I might as well call these ideas out.

Thinking more about it, Catventurer might be lying about her magic scum detector machine breaking...
Maybe she wants to redirect our kill away from her so she grabs more results while we think she's nothing but a powerless vanilla town, and then SURPRISE us with the bombshell that she detected Sage.
Remember, she has forgiven Frost for lying as Town. I don't think she won't be "above" lying herself so we let her off the hook. So yeah, either I get her lynched today for good, or you'll have to off her because we can't risk it with her being alive.

I think she is lying about a lot. I am going over now to see what has happened. I agree she was my top choice before and still is. If I get the chance, she will be my target.

There's no other way out of this. If I can keep this up, I'll have Catventurer lynched. If I succeed that, you can say that... tenor.com/view/my-job-here-is-done-bye-done-gif-14879937

Is it just me or did catv not answer my question Sage103082: @catv are you saying someone else broke into pookas room before you got there as the door was all ready messed with? This would have been pre-game. Remember, no cults. Also an investigator that can't keep investigating once they found scum is useless in a game where the mafia is essentially a cult that keeps recruiting.

I think she's also not responding to me. Pretty sus too. I mean if the roles were flipped, I'd try to convince even her that she's scum, and she has to go.

You successfully plug the Safety-o-Matic 9000 to a hidden port in the security panel on your door, but then you remember everything.
Luck would have it that a suave, charismatic merchant has talked you into buying this device. "You won't forget to lock the doors ever again!" he said ever so smoothly. The proposition was so tempting....after all you had this habit of locking a door, leaving, then going back to double check the door was locked....thus you spent half your savings.
You got it complete with the box and manual, but you must have lost it within piles of other documentation, and it was so long ago that you can't remember all the specifics of the device, which you didn't use anyway because it didn't solve the real problem: you being clumsy.
"LOCK INITIATED" a robotic voice beeped and booped. But you had the feeling it'll beep over and over sooner or later. It was only a matter of time.
Indeed....it beeped. You don't know why.

Sounds believable so far but this is my first game with GR and its been ages since I picked up a hitchhikers book, so I am limited on experience.

That bit I wrote isn't exactly how GR would write it, minus the four ellipses I sprinkled here and there. It's still in my own style, I just need to...pretend I'm GR. Forgery skills!

I just don't know when to claim or how to pull it off. Ideally I want to keep the full forged message to myself, and only quote a bit of it. Maybe at L-1. A claim at this stage might work - if it doesn't work, I'll self-hammer later. What do you think?

Here is a wiki of gadgets used in the book. I know I looked up the name of what catv refered ( Sens-O-Lux ) to and found The Sub-Etha Sens-O-Matic is a device that alerts hitchhikers to passing spacecraft, by monitoring ships' Sub-Etha signals.and Sens-O-Tape SIGN IN TO EDIT Sens-O-Tape was a method of recording that was used by the Magratheans. It allowed the user to become completely immersed in the event they were experiencing with all of the senses, hence the name. A Sens-O-Tape recording was made of the time when Deep Thought was created, and when it revealed the Ultimate Answer to the Ultimate Question of Life, the Universe, and Everything which was shown to Arthur by Slartibartfast.

The answer to life and everything is 42. I remember that part. I went and pulled my books. ibb.co/dJ9hMmk I have the first and I have all 5 in one which one you want me to send you /wink =D I think your plan is good one you do not want to over share nor to early. I think your L-1 and then hammer is the best if it comes to it. I feel asleep early yesterday but I am up to 363 one of your posts so after I get the adult stuff out of the way ill finish catching up.

Pooka I should of asked for clarification earlier but your avatar here with the pronoun he him under it, but I saw this today " her latest post she claims what she thinks really happened is we left each other's rooms, and then she got into mine and the magic scanner said she's scum..." If I have been using the wrong pronouns I am very sorry and mean no harm.
Also here is what I have written up to call you on in your post. I am up to post 364 Dedos post. I am trying to get through it all before posting. Sounds like a Everyone else does it so I can do it too excuse... How is Dedo being rash? What do you mean by mafia doesnt work like that? IMO it would be stupid to be to rash and lynch quickly when we have time for everyone to discussion and move forward together. Calling it stupid in general is not correct.

That's alright so far, not much momentum today, and it's better that way. Not for the game or my standing in the game, but for me personally. Plus work was a bitch today. Also don't worry about the pronouns thing, no ill intentions, no harm :) I should get the books sometime, but since they're a collection of six it may be a pain in the butt to buy them used. Who knows, maybe I'd find the first part, then the second part later, and trade in both AND pay a little more to get the first three. (That's how I have my current copies of The Hunger Games trilogy). Yeah you know what, might as well send them :P So yeah as for my plans tomorrow (I hope), I plan to accuse Cat a little bit more. Yeah, the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over blah blah blah, but it'll be the last time. The way I plan to do that is call her out for not even confronting me, thus playing it safe by making me shout at a literal brick wall. If that don't work, I'll have no choice but to work out the kinks of my fake device... And yeah, answer you on these questions, of course.

Seriously, nothing makes sense in this game. And no, I'm not officially done with the game. But I really am frustrated with Town. This time around you can be as scummy as you can get but it's okay, you can still vote the other guy out for some reason.

waiting for my timer but here is my response to you Trent Post 334 trent called her out for being evasise. and again in 336 evasie and post 367 " I pushed and pushed for information, and she rarely answered me directly and just wanted to focus her answers more on Sage and dedo. It sets wrong with me on how she claimed, but as I said no one has counter claimed."
Me Post 348 Thanks for ignoring my questions <3 and her reply 3 posts later "@sage specifically - I can assure you that I'm not being intentionally avoiding."
