Lind Whisperer

"Seconded." The Munchkin raised his glass sadly.

"Then we definitely aren't talking the same person, because when it came to interacting with the world around him, instead of his fellow heroes, the person I'm talking about was tired, cynical, and depressed. There was no "seeing only a world with good" in the Sir Regulus I knew."

Falcon Wings granted Watcher. I'm pretty sure I already revealed that at some point...

"I take it there are two people named Sir Arthur Regulus the Seventh, because the Sir Regulus I knew was brilliant, well-experienced, and the most helpful hero a person could want."

The Black Knight held up his hands in a shrugging gesture. "I'm not one to pry." After the witch had finished getting her drink, Lind poured himself a cup of water. "Seconded. To Sir Regulus, the strategist!"

"I don't suppose you'd care to share the story of when you first met him?"

I was making a joke. Yes to all of those.When I say "Heroica in Space," I mean like what CMP said. The same basic system of mechanics/game structure, but a story, plot, and system of classes that is unique to itself.

Herospace.It's been nearly a year since I proposed it, and I still haven't come up with a better name yet*. *I've been working on that exact sort of project ever since I first joined Heroica. It's basically Heroica in space, with M-Tron, Futuron, Spyrius, etc., instead of the houses. And there's a giant space station instead of the hall. Tiny little differences like that.

*The underline is a direct quote. Yes. The whole thing was like that. **I'm confused here, as I type this, because I just realized something. If he's scum, why is he PMming me to ask who my team is? What's the point of that? ...Bother it, did we just waste an entire conversation trying to play each other? Bother it, I think we played each other. Bother it.

He wanted me to tell the rest of "my" scum team to recruit him*. He also wanted to give you the Godfather to investigate, so that "the scum team would have a member be confirmed townie," and he said that you'd follow what he said to do because of your apparently explicit trust in him.*I considered the possibility that he was trying to pull some sort of sting operation on the scum team, but Watcher is dead. Most certainly and unequivocally dead. Yeah, I kind of figured that you were trying to play me the first post you made. Every other thing you said was a stock cliche phrase. Seriously - if you're going to try and play someone, at least try. A, that's an impressively distorted "conversation," B, in my next post I am going to tear your recounting apart. (Also, check your dictionary as to what "paraphrased" means.)

Brick is scum. I had some doubts left about him, but now I'm sure. We just had a PM conversation where he told me he's the scum recruit, and he tried to sign onto my scum team before I got killed, because "I'm the only person he's sure is scum". Well, sorry Brick, but that plan'd work a lot better if I had a scum team.

The Munchkin looked at her for a long moment, then began to cheerfully laugh. "Seasoned heroes? Gluttony? A Battle Mage that didn't seem like he was there half the time, and a Druid that knocked himself out. My gluttony? My dear Mystic, if you think that I was why your 'process' failed - well, let's just say, I'm not the most naive Hero here."

"That is...dampening to the spirit. I had hoped to quest with him again." "Sir Regulus's shield, actually. And word of warning, instead of fighting, she'll be spending half of your battles trying to convince the enemies to sit down and have a tea party." "I'm very interested in hearing the response to that. All we ever heard was that they betrayed the Veterans - there was never anything about any money. Was there anyone else within earshot when he told you the amount? And what is this crime he's claiming you framed the party for?"

I'm frustrated it's in the hands of scum, yes. Hopefully, someone will grab it tomorrow before you or Brick can. Yes, because a game being run by scum is definitely won. I hope people remember who tried to call you scummos out, when def posts my alignment tomorrow.

Personally running them over with a bus, then, my not-apologies for not adding on the extra words. There's no rule against Scum killing each other to seem more townie. Fine then, you called me negative gerunds. It amounts to the same thing - you're hoping that people will follow along with the person who claims to be cop, no matter how scummy he keeps on acting. Who was the real cop? Which night did you kill him? It's lost to me, but not to the town, if they'll listen tomorrow morning. If I die, I can at least know that I've intentionally cut down the speed in which you can cut through innocent townies.

Congratulations, then, you're the first scum to try it - but you failed in that someone saw it and is calling you out. If I was scum, and I thought I was caught, do you really think I'd grab the vig? Really?Oh, wait, you're scum, and you're hoping that if you shout loudly enough, and call me enough names, no one will listen to me. Well, you could be right on that, and the way this town has followed whatever bandwagon was easiest, I wouldn't be surprised. This game was lost the day we instantly trusted Tammo, "because he gave us vig". You're right, it has. Even if I'm lynched tonight, I've done my part to disarm your attempt to seize control of the game. You're going down, scum. Yeah, that's a really good suggestion - have the Doctor and Blocker contact either you or the person who's likely your third scum buddy so you can quickly scum kill them. Well, if you keep shouting loud enough, they may believe you, and get killed for that trust - but thanks to me, only one of their items is going to be lost, unless your scum-buddy steals my kill tonight - which is going to be you, scummo.

Please, take all the time you need to confer with your scum buddies. Congratulations, you found the emoticon button. That doesn't change the fact I've figured out what you and Brick did to me last night.

You mean the person you claim is town? Yeah, that's really trustworthy.You snatched vig yesterday, and then you bussed one of your friends to look town. I'm not letting one of your scumbuddies do that again today. Brick and Dave have been sharing the cop role back and forth since Day 1. No wonder we haven't gotten anywhere, scum's been keeping the cop role between them! ] Because def didn't tell me I'd failed until after you logged out almost instantly last night. I'd repeat what I've said about how you two almost certainly bussed MT, but you're looking like scum so it'd be a waste of breath.Also, where's all this "If You're blocked, then we'll know Dave's scum, and I'll support" you were telling me? Oh, right, you're scum and you set me up. It's a bold move, killing off one of your own. But I'm not letting you get your hands on vig. My sacrifice kills me, but it gives town a fighting chance, if you two can't keep on murdering everyone as fast as you've been.

Wait a minute - I just saw something. Brick and piratedave have been consistently swapping Blackbeard's shag back and forth this entire game. Brick...you told me to kill Dave, that you'd back me up... I've just been played. Has what Blackbeard's Shag does ever been revealed yet?

My dear, it's called bussing, The oldest scum move, Say you're townie, kill a friend, And your town status is "prove" -ed.

Exactly.

Seriously - It's basically who shouts loudest gets their bandwagon. I hate to do this - It's a noose around my neck. But I'm not letting Dave or his scum-buddies get their hands on it. 1. War Machine's Similar Helmet Lind Whisperer 2. Mr. Freeze's Coolant 3. Starlord's Mask 4. Flash's Lightning Cowl Brickelodeon 5. Blackbeard's Shag piratedave The only players I trusted are all dead now except for Brick. This game is doomed for town. All I can do is try and take out a scum before I go the way of the rest of the townies.

How is it sure? What have I actually done to suggest I'm scum?

Yes, I've been the "talk of the town," because I haven't played Mafia in months, and I made a newbie mistake on Day 1. And we both pushed for Tammo's lynch. Wait...How can I be lynched, and steal your investigation ability? That doesn't make any sense.

I was PM'd by def that I'd failed, so, no.
