    Man. I wish Capfalcon couldn't talk. That's a bit irritating. Otherwise, I'm interested to see how the orange roles turn out.

    Right, so if a MERCY character is unable to send in an action, is it impossible to acquire the MERCIFUL bonus?

    Interesting... This station gives accurate voting totals... I think the manipulative might be revealed....

  • kimekime Queen of Blades Registered User regular
    :whistle:

    I am Mercy, and I am targeting myself.

    If any other Mercy players want the guard to have any affect, they also have to target me.

    Otherwise it'll just be wasted. Your choice :).

    Also, The Anonymous for his silly "win condition" clue shenanigans yesterday :P

    If any MERCY characters currently capable of sending in actions do not send in the bonus MERCY action, the MERCIFUL BONUB will not be acquired.

    Critical Failures has determined that my post is more important than yours, INANTP, and therefore should be listed as the last post, even though yours is later.

    Does that mean I win?

    Edit: Never mind? It also decided to duplicate my post after I had already viewed the thread and no duplicate post was there. So rather than ignoring your post, INANTP, it decided that my post was so important that it needed to be made twice, with some delay so that it would definitely be after yours.

    Does that mean I win twice?

    Edit edit: Now the second post is gone.

    I'm not winning, am I? Vanilla is just messing with my mind, isn't it?

    TheAnonymous, is your secret that you have an insane win condition which involves getting a number of people to guess what it is?

    Also, is the price horrible death?

  • CythraulCythraul Registered User regular
    Uh, so kime is claiming openly to be a guard, so I guess someone should.... guard him? Can guards even be guarded? That seems rather silly to come out openly and admit as a role.

    And what's with the random insanity you're spouting off about here? I'm doubting you're mafia based on the fact that you tend to play mafia differently, but you definitely seem like you're up to something...

    What's your game, kime?

    What's your game, kime?

    Let's look at this piece by piece, shall we? Now, what do you see wrong with the first paragraph?

    Anyone? Correct, it's called "not reading the narration." See, class, while the whole narration is not necessary to read, it is important to read the important summary stuff at the bottom. Specifically, in this case, where the host talks about the special Mercy mechanic today.

    There's something else ambiguous about that first paragraph. It's not clear if Cythraul thinks that all Mercy players are guards, or if he completely misunderstood what the host said. Either way, he should try not to make assumptions like that.

    Now, onto the second paragraph. We're not sure if he's noticed that he's posting in a different thread than yesterday, but if we assume he has, then he should know that the forums are being wonky recently. If he knows that, then we can only assume his ignorance on what I was saying is due to some level of illiteracy.

    The second error of that paragraph is that he assumes he can predict how I play. This comes up occasionally, but it's always good to be reminded, class: you cannot predict how I play. (:P)

    Finally, the last paragraph is simply a follow-up of the earlier ones, so is, of course, rather silly.

    I hope you all understand today's lesson on "How not to make a bad post," and I'll see you again tomorrow!

    Cythraul, please stay after class:
    I'm just messing with you (mostly)

    Read the narration....
    Allegaro’s piety inspires the MERCIFUL. MERCIFUL players may privately send in an order to guard a player. If there is no conflict in the decision of the MERCIFUL, that player will receive a divine shield blocking all abilities.

    And it's like half the clarifications/posts on this page...


    Also, I advise everyone to reread previous posts occasionally. The forums are being weird, and sometimes posts get inserted a bit above where they should be, so you wouldn't wanna miss something!

    I'll placeholder Kime

    For the simple fact that it is very possible that he is good and is trying to have a good target for the merciful to aim at. But it is also equally likely that he is evil and is tying to dupe the merciful into providing him with a benefit he shouldnt be having.

    I have learned that is impossible to tell good kime from evil kime barring death or a seer result.

  • CythraulCythraul Registered User regular
    Ah I see, for some reason I thought you said you were a guard, a role traditionally very bad to out yourself as. Reading comprehension, my bad. However! You've effectively demanded that all merciful players send their guard in on you when we don't even know your alignment, since by stating you're using your mercy guard on yourself that if anyone else had plans to use it elsewhere it'll all be moot. Well played, I guess?

    I know the thread changed (duh) but I was asking about your "Did I win? Did I win?" thing you had going on. Assuming you're just being you. I can live with that.

    And I was assuming you weren't mafia, my bad! I'll make sure you die horribly at some point this game :P

    The guard ONLY works if everyone targets the same person. There aren't good ways to ensure that happens. So I chose one that I think has a high chance of success, and since I'm selfish I put it on myself.

    Merciful people are free to talk to me if they wish, but unless you've got some very compelling evidence and a very good plan, I'm not changing my target. Everyone else can choose to either let me be guarded, or waste the ability the village has.

    (There's a right answer :P)

    I can confirm that kime is merciful, though that does not preclude him from being evil. Capfalcon, for example, was mindful rather than murderous. And since I've already been in contact with one of the mafia (and the mafia told me the truth) I would appreciate it if everyone sent me your phrenological state (the M-word in your role, in layman's terms) so that I can complete my research. I'm a neutral, and I don't want to know what allegiance you hold, just the M-word. This train has surprisingly few MUNDANE travelers, and so I'd like to get to know you all better.

  • MrTLiciousMrTLicious Registered User regular
    This is a bit meta but think about this:

    The mafia probably has one of each of the phrenologies, except probably MUNDANE.

    A village kime would have realized this, and so would have known that his reveal would not work, because the MERCIFUL mafia wouldn't guard a villager. So a village kime would not have made such a reveal.

    Therefore, kime is the MERCIFUL mafia.

  • CayrusCayrus Consul Friends, Romans, countrymen, lend me your ears!Registered User regular
    Or kime is doing what he always does and spreading confusion and misinformation and he's not MERCIFUL at all.

    If there is a Merciful mafia that can affect this public guard, may I please ask how it would ever EVER benefit the village? It's like having a mechanic in the game to just mess with the village, since it can only do what the mafia want.

    That's ridiculous.

    I examined the heads of those removed from the train last night, and now will present my findings:

    Tmoiy: Mercy
    jdarksun: Mayhem
    Stever: Mundane
    Capfalcon: Mindful

    Jdarksun being mayhem surprised me. Last Phalla of Brass, I believe I was part of his order, and would've expected him to be merciful or mindful, not tending towards chaos.
