Oh geez, oh man, you guys are taking up a lot of space and thought space parsing out what you're each saying.... Mr. Foley seems to be suggesting he believes that Mr. Nouget was an investigator, which again doesn't make a whole lot of sense. Mr. Ebrick seems to be suggesting he understands what you're saying, Mr. Foley, but that he doesn't believe Mr. Nouget was an investigator. What he gets wrong though is claiming that Mr. Nouget went to Mr. Plastic and told him he was a investigator, when actually Mr. Plastic uncovered that all on his own. So, Mr. Ebrick, you want to throw Mr. Plastic to the wolves? You think he would have come out with this convoluted story after his scum buddy was sunk to try to save him, especially once a bandwagon was starting?
-
So you believe that Mr. Nouget was being forthright and honest when he said he had been converted? Why would he do that if he were Burpamount?
-
Apologies, you're right, you did reveal that. But it still doesn't quite add up. The phrasing is a little strange: there is really no reason for the scum to have an investigator - other roles, perhaps, but an investigator would be totally useless. So we have three options: the phrasing was weird on the end of the hosts, you're lying, or the game is in some way a little more complex than we originally thought? What do we think? In regards to votes, I agree, we look at people who rallied against Clutch at the beginning, but maybe not the very beginning? Would a scum stick their neck out that early on, before a real bandwagon started? And of course it is safe to assume there were some scum buried in the vote against Mr. Nouget, probably middle of the pack to late in the pack: probably not before the bandwagon seemed likely, but somewhere in there. Those who voted for Ms. Clutch before she revealed why her vote came from where it did were, in order: Ms. Brickmacher, Mr. Brickman, and Mr. Foley. They all immediately switched their vote once Ms. Clutch revealed she had a source - at the point, essentially, where a bandwagon seemed likely. I don't think it'd be foolish to assume there is a scum within those three people. Also of note: even after Ms. Clutch revealed her source Mr. Plastic voted for me, while there were seven votes on Mr. Nouget. I still don't quite think he's Burpamount, because if he was he'd be playing a brazen game with this convoluted story, but even so it's worth noting.
-
Oh boy! Looks like we got our first Burpamount agent. I don't think any of us believe he was converted, right? He just did that to throw off our counting, I'm assuming, or the scum CAN convert and they are saving it until later and we'll think they already used it... regardless, the easiest and simplest explanation for now is that Ari was Burpamount and not converted and there may not even be a conversion option. Barring another successful investigation, it looks like William's source is going down. Ready to tell us who it is, William? Any thoughts on the Brickie kill? Geez, seemed pretty middle of the road, maybe just an easy target unlikely to be protected?
-
You believe Mr. Nouget is scum but also that the source that told you he was town is right?
-
But even with your source revealing their contradictory results the best test is to vote Mr. Nouget - doubly so, in fact, because we can confirm one investigator that way and potentially catch a scum. The only issue I still see is that your investigator is the one I inherently trust more, just because I can't imagine why a scum would lie so late into the day when the bandwagon was already a pretty sure deal. But unfortunately voting Nouget is still the best way to test them both.
-
Thanks for adding nothing to the conversation. What do you think of the two investigator claims? To be perfectly frank I'm not even sure what you're claiming. Does your investigator have a different scum result we should be testing out? If no, then probably we'd still have to test out Ms. Clutch's claim...
-
Geez oh geez, maybe we have some stuff to discuss tomorrow... I'm a little less sure about this vote the more I think about it. Mr. Nouget's lackluster defense is not what convinces me otherwise. I don't know why he wouldn't reveal things to the town - and before anyone accuses me of wanting him to out the power role that could clear him (I'm not suggesting that, don't do that), I'm just suggesting he could and should tell someone what his power role is, if he indeed has one. That way the scum can't claim it later, and if he flips town tomorrow we'll know he was telling the truth and anyone else would be a liar. Hopefully he has confided it in someone he trusts. He also refused, in private, to postulate about what the two investigators meant, because he doesn't "trust me" - which is fine. But he may as well postulate in public what it means: he's an experienced member of the studio, so his break down of what this could mean could be useful, and we won't be able to get it out of him once he's dead. Vaguely claiming a role but not offering any sort of thoughts to try to parse out tomorrow is a pretty classic scum sinking tactic. What gives me serious pause is the second investigator claim, which I guess I didn't fully think out a few hours ago, being a bit tired. Why would a scum (be it William or his source) come forth that late with an a conflicting report if Ari is so close to being lynched? It's almost unheard of for scum to put themselves in the firing line so early in the game to try to protect each other. Not impossible, I guess, but still strange - if Ari flips Burapamount tomorrow we'd get two of them for the price of one... which leads me to believe that the most likely possibility is that William was contacted by someone in the town... What do you think, Ms. Clutch. How are you so sure your source isn't misleading you?
-
It seems for now my vote stays... I was planning on retracting it if a better option presented itself, but now we've actually got some information. To clarify an earlier point: I don't think roles should come forward (obviously?). Hopefully anyone with roles would know that and operate the way (they assumedly, if Clutch is telling the truth or not being lied to) they did today. I was just poking at Ari, who suggested we shouldn't be conjecturing on things because "the roles would hopefully be working behind the scenes" which he well knows is not a good strategy for the town - everyone should do their part while simultaneously the roles work behind the scenes. I almost instinctively distrust such good results right off the bat, but at the same time I can't think of any real possibility that this isn't working out... either way we look at it, it seems like a scum for a townie as a worse-case scenario. If Ari flips town we either lynch Clutch or their "informant". It could get muddy then too, I guess... Clutch seems more than willing to die for their allegation, though, so I feel we can trust her. We will have to see what happens tomorrow.
-
Boy oh boy, maybe we should lynch her because she is quiet? Man geez oh boy wow lots of back and forth there. You will not reveal more than you need to, but there is nothing to be revealed? But you are very confident regardless? Well, then, Mr. Nouget, what do you say? We haven't heard anything from the night action people and we have nearly 24 hours left in the day with only one vote cast. It's very big of you to not vote for the person who voted for you, but unless we have some forward movement there's a good chance there will be a kill tonight, or a conversion, or whatever the Burpamount can do to harm us. Vote: Ari Nouget (Shadows)
-
I'd actually argue that a vigilante is highly unlikely in this game. It seems unlikely Burpamount is unable to kill during the night, and having two potential deaths each night in a studio with only sixteen people would make for a quick depletion of numbers. Not certain, of course, but it seems unlikely. Oh man, oh geez, I never got around to seeing that one but it seems like a good writer wouldn't use the same exact plot device twice... but maybe. I think, for the same reason as the vigilante (size of the studio) that there probably isn't a conversion ability but then again apparently in that movie I would have been wrong to think that, so... Oh boy, I think you've got a real confusing point here! I guess it's not unheard of for this to happen, but it seems like a real weird work around for the more probable solutions... I also think Fosstud was a poor choice of a lynch. It basically leaves us today at Day One with nothing new to go on and no obvious voting patterns to go off of. I thought it unlikely a scum would not respond at all... as Mr. Nouget said hopefully the night left us with some action roles behind the scenes parsing things out, but even then we could have had action roles doing just that with one extra townie to even out numbers. Even a silent one "counts". And now everyone is able to sue the same defense in voting for him "a lynch is better than none". Easy play for Burpamount. Thanks for listing all the things people already listed! Agreed! Boy, oh, boy, bit of a slip of the tongue there, Mr. Brickcaprio? Hey there, Mr. Nouget, but why are you so okay with having lynched a townie? Did you really think a scum would not have a whole team telling them to respond? So should we all clamp up and say nothing, sir? That seems like a real good way to make sure no information is garnered for yet another day. I seem to recall you always encouraging poking and prodding, Mr. Nouget, in hopes someone slips up. Why the sudden change now?
-
Oh geez oh man. I really think we need a lynch today, but I don't like lynching someone who has said nothing, because boy oh boy the Burpamount people would be absolutely yelling at Fosstud to say something behind the scenes... and because of that I think maybe Fosstud is a member of our own fine studio and Burpamount is just trying to get an easy first day lynch on him... But having no lynch worries me a lot too, and I think everyone who spread around votes should be considered very suspect. We almost definitely don't have a Vigilante in a game like this, so likely tomorrow we will have a dead townie on our hands, and without a lynch equally little to go on, putting Burpamount in a really good position to have us waffle away another day.

As pointed out, this was not the first bandwagon vote. I had already started a bandwagon vote against Me. Foley. Is there some reason you weren't eager to join that bandwagon? Oh no, oh no! Seems you have misunderstood! I felt I had to vote for someone who had already been voted for - spreading out votes to everyone on a first day isn't much use because it doesn't reveal any information. So I wanted to vote for someone already had a vote, to see who would and wouldn't clamp on. Out of all the people who already had votes no one is more or less suspect than anyone else, so yes, why not the one who voted for me!!
-
Oh no, oh no. Are you saying my speech is bad? I've never thought about being an actor, but I sure wouldn't want to not be an actor, so hopefully you think my speech is okay and you mean someone else has horrible speech. Hm, a little strange to build a case against Brickie as a lurker and then voting for Mr. Fosstud. Why give Mr. Fosstud the benefit of the doubt after saying he "at least has the excuse of not seeing the thread" while Brickie has no offered excuse? Wow oh wow! We've got six votes for six different people, which I think is a big ol' no good. As Mr. Foley said a Day One Vote may not always be right, but at least it's something to go off of, and the nasty folks from Burpamount are likely to try to get us to spread out our votes so we don't know what to do tomorrow. I'll Vote: Finn Foley (Tariq J) because he voted for me, the big meanie. Sorry, geez, just business, okay?

Oh pooh. Without being able to leave set how am I going to get anybody their coffees?? Does anyone need anything else? Anything from on set. no one stand up. I can grab anything for anyone. A pizza slice? An oil can?

BRICKYWOOD: Scum in La La Land Mafia - Sign Ups!
Zepher replied to KotZ's topic in LEGO Mafia and Role-Play Games
1) Took a long hiatus, but I think I'm ready to love (mafia) again. 2) Yes! I can commit - life had been crazy but is slowing down thankfully, and I'm looking for a game to throw myself into. 3) Production Assistant. Gotta work my way up from the bottom, baby. -
"That's exactly the trouble." Boomingham casts his eyes around the Hall. "I spent a good number of years making all sorts of new friends. But where have they gone?" "Oh, you know, little bit of this, little bit of that." Bobby's eyes glaze over. "Had to take some time to chill out with the family, you know. Celebrate a birthday and all that shiz. Been a pretty tight time but I think I gotta go do some new adventuring you dig?" "My man!" rasps Bobby. "How's it hanging? Like I was just telling this lil' chica here I'm looking to get back in the game. Seems like a good time too." He loses focus for a second and wanders over to the quest board, signing up for Quest #158. He jerks back over to the heroes and snaps his head up, as if he hadn't left at all. He tries to smile. "Gotta get going again. Been a bit down in the dumps, you dig, ain't been having no luck with them ladies or any dudes at all for that matter, know what I mean, getting a bit lonely with only the family to tick the clock with. Lonely was never good for me but it's real bad now, with..."

"I didn't get much in the way of Kinging the first time through. Got my Kingdom and floundered around for a few short years before the Orcish War broke out, and then I left the Kingdom to go fight in that. Was a good commander, but that's not likely what King of Eubric is going to be. Hopefully, at least." Boomingham takes out his handkerchief and mops his brow. "Most books are a catalogue of what you ought not to do, way I see it. Turns out Kings haven't had the hottest track record. There's some good ones in there, course, but lots of tyrants. Got to be careful. Don't want any handsome knights with the common good at heart coming for me." He winks at Hoke while also sizing up his weapons. Spending a year reading and drinking had done little for Boomingham's fighting prowess and he feels weak in front of the Paragon. "Ah..." Bobby smiles lazily behind the mask, but it doesn't translate well. "Mi Chica, bien sur, you know it - always time to talk to you, know what I'm saying? Who could say no?" His raspy laughter curdles through the masks' mouthpiece.
-
Boomingham laughs and orders a second drink for Hoke. "Well hello there, chap. Could be I'm getting a little old. Spent the last year or so looking up ways to be a King - went to the library again for the first time... who knows how long. Ended up getting stuck there and I figured I might walk out and give my muscles a bit of flexing." He looks around for Barty to zap into experience and bemoan only half the time had been spent in the library (the rest in pubs) but the little angel remains MIA. Force of habit. "How have you been?" Bobby's vision snaps to, but the Demon Germ is already off arguing with other people. "My man," he mumbles to himself as he wanders around idly.
-
Boomingham surveys the Hall from up at the bar, quietly swilling his glass back and forth, keeping an eye on everyone. His vision is a little blurry, and he's spent nearly a year touring Eubric on a lower level, but he feels good - if it's his status or his booze it's hard to say. --- Bobby slinks back into the bar, his rough metallic mask still clawing into his face. "Alright, man," he whispers to no one in particular.
-
Bobby might be making a come back sooner rather than later

I genuinely think that an active board will attract new players. We just need to seem like an active community again! But, as you say, that is difficult without quests.
-
I'd love to take Boomingham out on a quest some time. I still have a few quests in the pipeline, but my apartment is still without internet (god bless coffee shops) and my bricks are at home. They will happen soon though! Realistically we are going to need some other people to host quests eventually though.
