    My god. My god, people.

    TehSpectre lives on the edge.

    Steven Tyler lives on the edge.

    Steven Tyler is an entertainer.

    TehSpectre is an entertainer.

    TEHSPECTRE IS A DAILY SHOW CORRESPONDENT! It's so SIMPLE if you just open your eyes to the truth.

    I can tell you this (I have been asked) I will not be letting any of my contacts in on the names of the others.

    I don't know if that's better or worse!

    1) If you are mafia, the mafia now has even more info and no one else does.
    2) If you are village, you just made yourself into a target and all that info gathering is gonna die with you.

    It depends on how cleverly it has all been structured. Spectre may have a power that keeps him relatively safe from the folks over at Comedy Central, which could have prompted him to come out with this plan to begin with. It could also prompt other powers to be used in certain ways that can build trust, which expands the circle of useful knowledge and cooperation. Really can go both ways.

    At the very least, information will shared, just not names.

    I will also be releasing this information to the thread nightly.

    At the very least, I intend to give the village some information to work with on night one.

    Actually, big news will be released shortly. Say, an hour and a half or so.

    My plan worked better than I expected.

    Tonight's Top Story...

    Moving Avatars - Does America Realize the Danger?

    A recent poll shows that only 27% of Americans know that those with moving avatars are terrorist sympathizers. But the liberal media refuses to cover this story. They claim that moving avatars are simply a mark of so-called "cultural diversity". Yet beyond the political correctness, we all know the truth.

    The same poll says that 80% of Americans don't realize the threat that that these menaces pose to America. It's because those Harvard elitists are telling us to ignore our own common sense. But I believe in America. And deep down, every time one of them catches our eye, we know what our heart is telling us. We know what the truth is.

    I regret that I only have one vote to give to my country, for the moving avatar threat is a growing danger. But I know in my gut that !Houn is really trying to destroy Amercia. He thinks that he's a funny man, but deep down, we all know the truth.

    People seem to me missing my vote for !Houn, and that terrorist-sympathizer must be brought to justice the sake of Amercia.

    Good afternoon everyone. I'm sure this is consider old news, but for those you just tuning into the news for the day, the credibility of the news media is now in jeopardy. Comedians from Comedy Central's The Daily Show and possibly The Colbert Report have infiltrated several news organizations that enough people consider credible, though some of them really aren't.

    To make matters worse, people from both sides of the aisle are viewing this as an opportunity to discredit those they disagree with by any means necessary. Given the level of hyperbole that we're already seeing this is going to make it harder for journalists like me, who are grown up enough to accept that others can have differing beliefs, without being American hating scum. In some causes it's hard to tell if it's someone playing partisan gains by misrepresenting the facts or a comedians posing as a newscaster, I guess Poe's Law might be in the hospital for awhile so to speak.

    One of the upsides to my show being shown in the afternoon, is that it gives me a chance to evaluate my peers' early reporting in the hopes of weeding out one these comedians early on. As a conservative I don't agree with Houn, it's possible he is one of the comedians but with so little to go on and the understanding that it's not just the people at The Daily Show trying to reshape our news media. I just can't vote for him at this time because I refuse to be a tool for partisans.

    Savant on the other hand has said some rather silly things at this point. As a conservative, I'm going to feel insulted if he isn't one of the comedians because what he says is so far out of line. I also find it a little suspicious that at this point that Houn has pulled so far ahead in the vote at this point when people started voting against Savant. At my own personal risk and possible intentionally jumping on a bandwagon, at this point in time I suspect Savant is a comedian.

    Ladies an gentlemen, that's it for your afternoon, news.

    This Phalla has provided greatly entertaining posts. I think I'm just going to vote along with whatever reasoning makes me laugh that most :lol:.

    What is the count, out of curiosity?


    For future reference a role call would be ina situation where we have a confirmed village head, ie someone that we all publicly know is good-aligned. Then that person says something akin to, "Everyone PM me your role name otherwise I assume you are mafia." That is not allowed.

    My friends, just moments ago I received word that !DeeBaser launched an attack on me completely unprovoked. Now, I'm not saying that he's a Daily Show Correspondent, but he still hasn't provided any evidence that he's not a member of their team while simultaniously engaging in the classic mafia tactic of hopping out of the shadows and onto a bandwagon with no supporting information given for his vote, all in an attempt to keep himself out of the public's eye.

    It's the same tactic used by Al'Jazeera Guerillas in Desert Storm, and employed by Daily Show staff today. Don't let the terrorists win, America. Don't be blind to the repetition of history!

    As of 4PM Eastern Time, polls have been open for ~17 hours and only ~30% of the media base has voted. Truly, a reflection on these modern times.

    I think it's ultimately harmless, for now. If he can produce verifiable pro-news information, it's to our benefit. If he can't, we can lynch him tomorrow, as these sorts of gambits do the town more harm then good. But yeah, I'm personally not telling him anything until it's clear he's pro news.

    Early exit polling suggests that this race is too close to call. Fully 69.23% of voters polled say they have laughed at least once in the past week, suggesting comedic support could be running high. This troubling news comes at a time when some are increasingly concerned about the integrity of the Fourth Estate...

    Actually, I do have a long standing grudge against LoserForHireX for telling my Clan Head I wasn't who I actually was accidentally during the VTM game last November. Nothing like being vigged by your own clan. Sure, he apologized, but you vengeance, etc.

    Incorrect; ~30% have not voted (69.23% reporting in).

    My firm belief in the 5-party system discounts all votes not registered for the top five candidates in any particular race or runoff.

    It's about time for an outsider to jump in and shake things up. Rasmussen's latest polls indicate 82% of people agree with me on this point. TDS has shown no interest in civil discourse and we need to carefully maintain our neutral reputation.
