I am not sure what I could have to note. You monsters killed my dance partner so I couldn't even have a nice masonry.

RWC would definitely have been my top choice today, so I will need to recalibrate. Grandi probably would have been my next choice, but right now it seems like that's the "easy" choice today so I have some doubts.

I am not sure what the case is for me to be scum but I agree that it would be a big mistake to vote me since we would lose! Also instead of getting on the easy Tmor or shwinn lunches I was attempting to point out ways that their claims could make sense or not seem so scummy and get people to think about them more, I think I would have been happy to shrug and agree with people and jump on that.

I have worked all day and I am very tired but I will go back and read things over again tonight and see if I finally can find a scum in this game.

Grandi - Pretty disengaged, which seems weird. They've got like 2 pages of posts and the first page is all from D1. The big thing that stuck out to me was the hard defense on Hal being town D1. In light of my "Actually Hal could be scum," Grandi now looks a bit worse in retrospect. Was ready with a third Vanilla name basically immediately, when I pushed on them. Which leans Vanilla-for-real. Didn't try to signal me at all with the mason invite, so also leaning Vanilla-for-real (plus like, last in the pick order).

Hammered Shwinn over RwC, not sure if there's anything to make out of that.

Would love to hear Grandi's take on masonry discussions last night, but I think I'm leaning Grandi today.

PMuzz's recollection is pretty much spot on.

Hellos exchanges, I told them if they were scum and told me I wouldn't tell anyone. They said I was suspicious. I said my gameplay was super poo poo this game and I totally deserve the axe next. Then nothing game related and very little talking in general besides a very nice pet pic exchange.

A++, would mason again when I'm less distracted by life stuff.

Gun to my head, I would say it's PMuzz/Sandwolf, but I am very much letting Cube and Hal slide based on my d1 assessments because that's the last time I was actually paying more than a modicum of attention.

Lipstick Apathy
When Lady Vienna Spencer finally bothered to thump her way down for a very (very) late breakfast, she discovered all of her remaining guests bickering at the breakfast table.

It was decided, then: it had to be Grandicap. It must be, it simply must be! Who else could be causing all of these difficulties?

Grandicap, Elizabeth Watson, TOWN-Aligned Vanilla was escorted off the property d5!

quote:

Miss Emma Watson, who was very recently returned to her family from the care of an aunt who had brought her up, was to make her first public appearance in the neighbourhood, and her eldest sister, whose delight in a ball was not lessened by a ten years' enjoyment, had some merit in cheerfully undertaking to drive her and all her finery in the old chair to D. on the important morning.

You are Elizabeth Watson, character in Jane Austen's unfinished novel, The Watsons. You are the older, unmarried sister to main character Emma Watson, and you are convinced your older sister Penelope ruined your chance at love by scaring off a Mr. Purvis. We don't know how you end up, because -- again -- Jane Austen didn't actually finish this novel. You probably find Mr. Purvis again and get married and have a lot of fat babies, because that seems on-brand for Austen.

Note from co-mod Clo!: In the closest thing to a canon completion, Elizabeth actually marries a shopkeeper and Pnurtis is never mentioned again. She does get him in the version that kills off several major characters and has Emma's aunt take up horse-racing, so that's something.

Your role is Vanilla.

Even Vanilla In This Game: Being a spinster from an unfinished novel that almost no one has read means you're stuck being Vanilla Town. Sorry the RNG failed you.

Perhaps now things could get back to normal? Perhaps now the evil was at an end?

"But weren't there four evil-doers?" Mme Clotilde asked, as she poured herself a cup of tea.

"Just two now," said Phantom Muzzles, pulling a small pistol from the bodice of her dress.

"That should make this easier," Cubical Sucrose agreed, advancing on a very nervous-looking Sandwolf and Hal.

Phantom Muzzles, Mary Bennet, Vanilla and Cubical Sucrose, Mr. Dorcy, Copier have won the game for scum!

Sandwolf, Mr. Wickham, Hider, and Hal Incandenza, Catherine Morland, PGO have been endgamed!

Lady Vienna surveyed the wreckage of her breakfast nook with a sigh. "Is it finally over, then?" she asked. "Terribly rude of you all to murder my guests without warning like that."

Cubical Sucrose eyed Phantom Muzzles speculatively. "What about her, then?"

Phantom Muzzles beamed at Lady Vienna. "I've had such fun at this ball," she gushed, a real smile lighting her eyes for the first time. "I've discovered something I'm much better at than my sisters. Murder!"

"Wonderful," Lady Vienna said warmly. "Congratulations to you. It's always a special time when a young woman claims her first kill."

"You aren't going to turn us in?" Cubical Sucrose asked, hesitantly.

Mme Clotilde giggled over her tea. "Goodness, no," she said. "If we called the cops, they might ask about all the bodies in the backyard."

"Yes, poor Lord Spencer, missing these past three years," Lady Vienna sniffed. "What the police don't know certainly isn't their business. Tea, anyone?"

THIS HAS BEEN

Nah, I mean, don’t get me wrong I was a little frustrated with you and Grandi, but I basically never would have seen Cube as scum. I woke up to him literally rereading everyone alive with long extended write ups of everything in our masonry. I was sure that would not be faked.

ROLE PMS FOR END OF GAME PLAYERS:

Cubical Sucrose, Mr. Fitzwontiam Dorcy, Copier

quote:

"Oh, Mr. Darcy! You make all the ladies swoon with your ... wait. Wait, you're not Mr. Darcy. Who the gently caress are YOU?"

You are Mr. Fitzwontiam Dorcy, the secret evil and dorky twin of Fitzwilliam Darcy, the love interest of Pride and Prejudice. You look exactly like Mr. Darcy except for the mustache and goatee that give you away as being an evil dorky twin. You are totally a canonical character, honestly, for reals, and not both of the mods just being silly and inventing a dorky evil twin for Mr. Fitzwilliam Darcy because they think it's super funny. Honest. You are kept up in the attic, but occasionally you sneak out and wreak havoc on the townsfolk, attempting to seduce and charm and bluff at cards but somehow failing miserably. Sorry, Mr. Dorcy, but you're no Mr. Darcy.

Your role is Copycat.

...Oh. Mr Dorcy.: For whatever reason nobody seems to take you seriously when you take your shirt off, so you can't make people swoon like your brother can. It might be the giant glasses. Or the bowtie. You're still trying to figure out the details, so you have decided to observe better looking people than you are to figure out how they do it. As a oneshot night action, you may ##copy another player's night action, receiving a oneshot item based on the action they used that night. You may use this item from the next nightphase on.

Hal Incandenza, Catherine Morland, PGO

quote:

No one who had ever seen Catherine Morland in her infancy, would have supposed her born to be an heroine.

You are Catherine Morland, protagonist of Northanger Abbey. If you looked up "naive" in a Regency-era dictionary, there would be a picture of you there, eyes wide, exclaiming, "Goodness! I'm in the book!!!" And then you'd probably assume there was a vast conspiracy around who put you in the book and WHAT DOES IT ALL MEAN??? You're very sweet but man, you have read far too many Gothic novels, and you tend to assume everyone is hiding a dead wife in their attic instead of realizing some people are just garden-variety assholes. It's super adorbs, ngl. Don't worry, you get a happy ending with a guy, even if he only notices you because you are crushing so hard on him. Look, you still get a happily-ever-after, so let's not worry about the details, k?

Your role is Paranoid Gun Owner.

Personally I Blame The Violent Horror Novels: If anybody visits you at night, you will draw your gun and shoot them in a paranoid frenzy.

Phantom Muzzles, Mary Bennet, Vanilla

quote:

Mary had neither genius nor taste; and though vanity had given her application, it had given her likewise a pedantic air and conceited manner, which would have injured a higher degree of excellence than she had reached. Elizabeth, easy and unaffected, had been listened to with much more pleasure.

You are Mary Bennet, side character of Pride and Prejudice. Look, here's the thing. The oldest two Bennet sisters are pretty and clever; the youngest two are shameless flirts, and the one in the middle ... is also there, in the book. That's you. You are the first Bennet sister to be adapted out, because you don't serve much of a purpose other than sitting around being ignored and complaining about being ignored. Dad prefers the oldest two, Mom prefers the youngest two, and no one gives a singular gently caress about you. If it helps at all, Austen's writings reveal that, after your other sisters are married, your mom finally takes an interest, and you come into your own and start getting attention in society, and you end up happily married to a shopkeeper. So that's nice.

Your role is Vanilla.

Even Vanilla In This Game: Being the least notable Bennet sister means you're stuck being Vanilla Town. Sorry the RNG failed you.

Sandwolf, George Wickham, Hider

quote:

All Meryton seemed striving to blacken the man who, but three months before, had been almost an angel of light. He was declared to be in debt to every tradesman in the place, and his intrigues, all honoured with the title of seduction, had been extended into every tradesman’s family. Everybody declared that he was the wickedest young man in the world; and everybody began to find out, that they had always distrusted the appearance of his goodness.

You are George Wickham, side character of Pride and Prejudice. When you first appear in town, you have many stories of how poorly treated you were by Fitzwilliam Darcy, and everyone believes you -- partly because you're charming, and partly because Darcy has been a tremendous rear end in a top hat. You charm Lizzy Bennet, but both of you know it can't go anywhere -- neither of you have any money. Partway through the book, she finds out that you're actually a slimeball, but doesn't air it publicly ... which she regrets when you run off with her youngest sister, Lydia, and don't bother to marry her. You are eventually bribed into making Lydia an honest woman, but everyone figures out that you're a scumbag. Turns out the reason you move around so much is that you run up debts and get young girls pregnant and then skip town to avoid the consequences. Lydia is thoroughly happy to be married to you and you ... probably cheat on her a lot.

Your role is Hider.

Skipping Town: As a night action you may hide, causing all actions aimed at you to fail. If you use this action, you can't use it the next night. It's very difficult to remain famous enough to seduce all the pretty women, but not become famous enough that their fathers, brothers and husbands can find you.

If there's interest I'll post the unused role PMs, lmk

RwC got close at one point, I think when they brought up F&I again. Grandi was there as well, aside from the YPM thing. And yeah, Hal too.

I didn't think the Keats shot would actually put that much heat on me. But jailer was definitely the role we were most worried about. And then Shwinn had to go because they could've inherited Keats' jail.

Mourner actually turned out to be a way better role than I'd expected.
