    Quite a few people calling each other out and complaining about them being jumpy... but psolms was the first to complain about someone being jumpy and also throwing down a vote to them as well. His hints about trying to find someone and so requesting PMs from you with secret details seems nefarious in my book.
    Of course, this is my first Phalla so I'm probably doing this wrong. I won't mention this fact again though lest it angers the general populace!

    Nope, this seems right! Although in my defense, I voted Psolms for being jumpy because I thought it would be funny.

    I don't entirely disagree, but my gut has something saying Spoit should get the vote today.

    I am changing my vote back to Psolms his searching for someone got resolved pretty fast, and his quickness to jump on SLyM-wagon combined to make me suspicious. Going to bed!

    So you start off saying that Kime isn't a good vote target, then you vote for me, even though I voted for Segatai when kime was still winning?

    Until we see what color kime dies, I'm not sure this really proves anything? Either way, I suppose I should go Slym self preservation. Though I wouldn't be opposed to swinging onto psolms either, because the later seemed awfully defensive as well

    well lets try something different then.

    Phyphor is the Grinch who stole Christmas.

    how do I know this? a pretty princess granted me a wish last night (it was one of you, so at least one of you knows im not lying), and i wished to know the identity of the grinch - whom it was my job to convince to publicly renounce his evil ways and learn the true meaning of christmas. this would have meant a conversion to team christmas.

    I have given him all day to come forward and renounce his evil ways, but he has refused. therefore, he has chosen to remain against the side of christmas, and must be eliminated.

  • SpoitSpoit *twitch twitch* Registered User regular
    Secondary win condition or neutral? Eh, either way, seer test, I guess.

    Really. If I'm the grinch then I'm mafia. A mafia conversion?

  • psolmspsolms Registered User regular
    i want this to be clear: i am not a seer. i was granted a wish by a pretty princess. im pretty sure that was a one time deal.

  • TayaTaya Registered User regular
    Grinch, why do you want to steal Christmas? What is your win condition?

    Phyphor for now.

  • BedlamBedlam Registered User regular
    Sorry, MrTLicious.

    But Im too busy hoping Phyphor's heart grows three sizes too large.

  • PhyphorPhyphor Building Planet Busters Tasting FruitRegistered User regular
    Except I'm not the grinch. Seriously, he's claiming a mafia -> village conversion. Nothing is more game breaking. Not sure why he's trying to get me killed but there you have it

  • TayaTaya Registered User regular
    The Grinch could just as easily be a SK or other neutral. Our win condition is eliminate threats to Christmas and the grinch sounds like a threat. And if you're not the Grinch we can turn on Psolms tomorrow as per the seer test rule.

  • psolmspsolms Registered User regular
    are you really going to doubt the pretty princess wish?

    how dare you.

  • MrTLiciousMrTLicious Registered User regular
    I have to agree with Phyphor on that one. Unless the Grinch is a SK.

    That's actually much more likely

    Phyphor

  • psolmspsolms Registered User regular
    honestly phyphor, i dont want you dead. i want you to renounce your ways like i told you in the PM.

  • SLyMSLyM Registered User regular
    Phyphor for testing purposes.

    My friend is working on a roguelike game you can play if you want to. (It has free demo)

    I would argue that the grinch would fit an anti-santa type theme and 3/4 of the mafia in the last game followed the same type. Furthermore, if I was the grinch and I was neutral why wouldn't I accept the conversion? This only makes sense if I'm not the grinch and psolms is making it up or I am the grinch and I'm mafia. But in the latter case I could never be converted or the game would be broken so that can't be right.

  • psolmspsolms Registered User regular
    simple way to find out:

    are there conversions in this game?

    Phyphor is either an SK or we destroy psolmsmañana

  • artadiusartadius Registered User regular
    Interesting change of events. Banish the Grinch Phyphor. Keeping an eye on psolms though.

  • daniantdaniant Columbus, OhioRegistered User regular
    Psolms, if Phyphor isn't the grinch, will you reveal your princessy source?

  • MrTLiciousMrTLicious Registered User regular
    Actually, the more I think about it, the more Phyphor makes sense.

    Why wouldn't he accept the conversion rather than be called out and killed, ensuring his demise? It makes more sense that psolms has a "kill another player" objective.

    I say we kill psolms first and if he turns up green, we kill Phyphor.

  • psolmspsolms Registered User regular
    i dont have a source dani..

    roman told me i had been granted a wish, i wished through him, he told me phyphor's grinchitude.

  • psolmspsolms Registered User regular
    because mr t, he is banking on the fact that his conversion would break the game. which i honestly agree with.

    but i know what i know, and i have been told that he will be converted. he does not believe that he will be. thats what it comes down to.

    OK, how about more specifically

    Can the mafia be converted?

    Edit: that was supposed to be in response to psolm's comment, I didn't see roman's response.

    If you think about it, no answer except "no" to this question can give you any information

    Heh. Well, yeah. I'd be inclined to believe him if he said yes, but a "clarification denied" would mean that it's possible that messages received in PMs from the host could be false.

    Sorry I haven't been around today it was a very rough day. Without fully being able to read the thread, it seems like Phyphor was seered? I'll try and catch up tomorrow.

    Finally, I'm pretty sure the mafia roleblocked me, unless one of you has a very interesting way of celebrating Christmas.

    I agree, a mafia to village or mafia to neutral faction conversion seems to be a very silly thing to include in a normal game. Has it ever happened before? But who knows, it could happen in a custom game like this that wasn't designed or play tested.

    So Phyphor tonight, psolm tomorrow if Phyphor is green.

    Every Who down in Whoville liked Christmas a lot
    But the Grinch who lived just North of Whoville did not!

    The Grinch hated Christmas! The whole Christmas season!
    Now, please don't ask why. No one quite knows the reason.

    Twas a crab named psolms who got a wish one night
    "Who is the Grinch? I must show him the light!"

    Let me win or I out you and you'll be dead!

    Learning the true meaning of Christmas by force
    A truer Grinch a Grinch couldn't ask for, of course

    But ultimatiums are unpleasant though
    As Christmas is doomed, his offer I forgo

    It's too early, not on day two
