As I mentioned earlier, I'm in a PT with DV. He Hasn't said much yet but I know he's in Australia. When I saw the PT I reviewed his slot because he feels like scum to me. I didn't see anything that made me feel different.

VOTE: DV
It’s a reference to your play most likely, ours is a reference to ours

Yeah. Leading theory in ours is that there was a pt made for each play, and then if you are in the same play you are in the same pt. See me already out as titania and icebox already out as Nick bottom from midsummer nights dream

So, Gamma and Marci, I think that means you are the only people from your chosen play
that kinda makes sense

but why she worded stuff like people can be added in? and why will it close eventually?
Was thinking about this.

Does anyone else's new play based pt have anything about people adding or removing to the pt?

The midsummer one does not have anything to that effect
Seconding ours just says when it closes

Why would you pay to make your ability worse?
I wouldn't exactly call it "making it worse" and you shouldn't be either given your exp level
that essentially makes it just plain vig vs. desperado, which while more negative utility if hitting potentially valuable town players, is better to weed out low-contribution slots

I was very much alluding to the fact that we essentially treestump for a day phase if we misfire, allowing us to post for one day phase while not dealing with stupid SRs on us
Maybe try engaging us in good faith if you're town? :D just a thought!
In post 2134, Dunnstral wrote:And why didn't you use your role night 1?
because we couldn't sync on a target and also we were unsure whether we wanted to seppuku onto someone or save for the not-dying thing, and we also thought it was one-shot

Also iirc gold can have other uses besides what's in our role PMs?

also UNVOTE:

PEdit: if you're town cephrir, all we would have done was confirm you town while taking us out of the equation. That doesn't seem so bad? A part of why you were the shot choice was out of all the names that came up as serious options, yours was the one that I was like "if we're wrong, it'll have the most benefit to be proven such because he's a strong voice that people can follow".

So is this mentioned in the opening message of the pt, or it came up during follow up questions with the mod?

I asked the same thing. He said that he does not die at the night, but has claimed that he would be able to talk during the following day to tell everyone they had an inno on you

Vote on Tamora is because I was relieved of my gold and a note was left by the burglar apparently:

Creeps in this petty pace from day to day.

It sounds kind of wifomy now, but coing out of morning I was thinking Tamora. And then her fis t couple of posts today were kinda scummy I thought.
this makes very little sense and points to this slot as town imo

also, the crier is just town after him spending 20 posts not understanding what a crier is, yeah?

It feels like Ceph is doing the minimum amount possible to appear engaged and town, and I don't get the sense of there being a town-mind behind Ceph's posts trying to solve the game. He's just saying things.
why have you chosen to do this over trying to engage me?

right now my vibe is that scum were in the kill dunn contingent (wis, lld, oth, titus but she's town, sorta dv) or were not posting here

The Bard wrote ten plays about the history of Medieval England and its royal dynasties up to and including Henry VIII,whose reign occurred during the transition to the Renaissance.
King John
is the first of these plays, and is also the least loved of them. However, unlike Timon of Greece, there is historical record of this play being performed during Shakespeare's lifetime. John was the son of Henry II and Eleanor of Aquitaine, and the younger brother of Richard the Lionheart. Yes,
that
John.
