JosefStalinator: Oct 9, 2007; Come Tbilisi if you want to live.; Grimey Drawer

Alright fine, since everyone is getting close to actually voting for me its reveal time!

I am Ben Tennant, a Time Lord. I am execution proof and in the event that I do face execution, SOMETHING HAPPENS that has since been implied by Keats to be the same thing as if we do not vote by the deadline.

I have no idea what this something is and Keats won't give me a clear answer from my questions about what it does or if its good or bad for town

it's what iggy claimed, able to move votes around or change who's being executed at time of lunch or something along those lines, apparently

Hmmmm doubt face

The SA Mafia wiki says a governor stops executions - I am only execution proof, I can't stop executions

But funny you say that!

hambeet posted:

I can ##destroy the master after 5 limbs are severed AND town does no-execute three times in a day

If you are deeply confused by this - how can we no exe three times in one day? Does that mean a no exe does the same thing as not voting by the deadline, despite Keats implying otherwise with that ominous post?

Johnny Keats posted:

I softly suggest that you can vote for No Execute.

Join the club! I'm genuinely confused by my role and Keats' and my magic dreams haven't done anything to help

My flavor says nothing about a gemstone btw

if this is real, it can only mean hitting deadline without a lunch 3 times in a row (extending the deadline by 24 hours each time), sounds miserable

i mean, even if what happens is everybody is given a bouquet of flowers and a chocolate bar, it means artificially dragging an entire game day out for an extra 72 hours

You can just have people vote no execute repeatedly over the course of like 24 hours

I have no way to prove to you that I'm town, but it seems pretty apparent that there's been misinformation and other redirecty shenanigans.

As far as full claiming, unfortunately I don't have any big exciting revelations.

My name is Steven.

I have a pink gemstone.

I don't have any night or day actions. I assumed this was because when I signed up, Keats told me he may or may not give me a simple role because I'm a baby

My cursebreakyness is that we need to hit a no execute three times in a single game day (after five limbs have been severed). I didn't understand that last bit because the way it was phrased in my pm confused me, so that's why I didn't want to vote for people Day 1 because I thought it meant that we had to have done it before the five were severed, not after

How did I miss this - does this imply scum knows our curse breaks somehow? Why would they use them as fake claims when they're so easily refuted?

When you guys see my non-exe go off, this might be a useful thing to explore!

Um, what was this flavor supposed to be...? Oh yeah. You all discovered an anomaly similar to Gretchen. It was Farmer Ben on the other side of the pond. He was another phantom manifestation shucked off by the Stalker as a byproduct of his activities. Anyway, the image wasn't moving anymore when you discovered him. He was just standing there. That's how you noticed in the first place.

Josef was scum aligned and a limb of the stalker. Slice. And he's Dead now. He becomes Severed if he isn't already.

It is now Night 4.

3/5 limbs Severed

Okay pretend I put flavor here. TM died in the night.

quote:

You are town aligned. Your name is Shadow. You lost your wife last year but you�re really good at coin tricks. Once per night, you can choose one of the following coins [mechanically d2s] to flip. [Heads is 2, Tails is 1]

Steel coin
Heads: Target player gains the ability to kill another player with a public day action
Tails: Target player dies

Moon coin
Heads: Learn target player�s alignment.
Tails: Learn your own alignment.

Gold coin
Heads: Target loses 2 Stress counters, then loses 2 Stress counters
Tails: Target gains 2 Stress counters. [Stress counters are added one at a time]

Once per day, flip all 3 of your coins as a public day action. [Their abilities don�t happen] If they all land heads-up, and 5 or more of the Stalker�s limbs are severed, you break the curse. You may save Heads coins and try again on a future day by flipping your remaining coins. The saved coins cannot be used for night actions.

Day 4 now and to the best of my knowledge there should be 3 limbs Severed out of 5 required.
