unvote, vote strykkerverde

Sure thang,

vote: strykkerverde

[al_kohaulec]

sounds good.

Vote: StrykkerVerde

May as well wait to see what he has to say, I suppose. Strykker?

Actually, never mind. Combined with his scumminess from yesterday, Stryker seems like an overwhelmingly good choice today. I'd also like to throw out a huge

FOS: Brian

if Strykker does turn out to be scum...I had in my notes (and suggested in the thread) that I found them to be a likely scum pairing yesterday, so if Strykker turns out to be scum...

Plus, I'm not sure what's to be gained by waiting. First of all, we probably waste a lot of time waiting for it. Second of all, what's going to happen? Strykker will undoubtedly claim a pro-town role that went to Origen's house last night. He won't claim vig, because it begs the questions of "What happened to the mafia kill?" which requires yet another explanation. That leaves cop. At this point, we'll either have to press forward and lynch him anyway, or we'll have the real cop come out to disprove Strykker's claim. Obviously, having our cop revealed is bad.

In conclusion, I see very few ways in which this day can evolve in which Strykker doesn't get lynched, and most of those ways involve something

worse

happening to the town.

So...

Vote: StrykkerVerde.

That's 5 out of 6, I think, and I certainly won't object to anyone placing on the last one.

I still would like to hear from him first.

I'm aware that Strykker and I seemed pretty coordinated yesterday. I brought up the case against Glork, he agreed with it. He seems to know the world of KotOR pretty well, which is why I accepted his belief that Glork's character would be scummy. Now I know how cliche this sounds, but if Strykker and I were scum together, we wouldn't willingly defend each other. If anything, Strykker would try to hook himself onto an innocent to take someone down with him.

If he's scum, of course. I've got no idea.

Something about PBuG's claim makes me a little nervous, but his claim checks out story-wise, so I guess I'll go with it. I'd be more than happy to elaborate on this tomorrow.

[VisMaior]

Maybe strykker needs a prod.

[BabyJesus]

unvote

really should let him claim a role first.....

[StrykkerVerde]

Alright I'm here and christ you guys move quickly.

Thank you BJ for letting me defend myself.

My role is

Bastila Shan - Light Side Jedi

I possess the power of Battle Meditation. Battle Meditation gives me the power to instill courage and strength in my allies and to take away my enemies will to fight. During the night I send in one target. If my target is pro-town then my power gives them a 50% chance to resist any role stopping abilities (i.e. If my target is roleblocked then there is a 50% chance that the roleblock is negated, if i target a vig and the target is doc protected then 50% it'll still go through, savy?)

However if my target is anti-town, my role works in the towns favor and gives the target a 50% chance of not happening.

There is my role, if you don't believe me that's fine but can we please have some discussion today so we don't just speedlynch and give the scum a free kill.

[StrykkerVerde]

Wow I completely forgot to explain myself. Yes, last night I did choose to use my power on Lt. Origen. Yes it looks suspicious as hell but what am I supposed to say, I'm fine with any investigations people want to perform on me or what not. I'm pretty sure the role you described as Mission is a night watchman not a cop.

[BabyJesus]

well, I'd be surprised if Bastila is not in the game....

lets

vote fritzler

[BrianMcQueso]

Your role confuses me.

And the 50%ness makes me hesitant. I've hid behind 50% claims as scum in the past just so I could blame everything on fate.

[mathcam]

Agreed. I doubt we'll find a better lynch target for today.

Cam

[BrianMcQueso]

Strykker's role matches his character... but a little

too

well, perhaps. When I went to search for the character on the internet, the whole part explaining about Battle Meditation seemed surprisingly close to the description I found. What strikes me is that Battle Meditation is a specific name for a power or technique--we haven't had that so far. When PBuG came out, it was just "I may follow someone each night". When Lt. Origen died, he "used mind tricks to obtain items". Nothing was a technique with such a definitive, proper name for it.

All in all, his claim seems fabricated.

[BabyJesus]

claim has holes, but surely Bastila is in the game.....

[al_kohaulec]

I'm sure Bastila is in the game, and I believe that it's not Strykker.

Vote: StrykkerVerde

are you claiming bastila....

[VisMaior]

I think the claim is plausible, especially if noone counterclaims. Special force power name is not a tell, because force powers are generally not bound to a character like battle meditation is to Bastila. al_koholic, are you claiming Bastila? If not, why do you think its not StrykkerVerde (btw, what does Strykker mean?)? And if you think Bastila is in the game, why not wait until someone counterclaims?

[mathcam]

Well, you can't say I didn't call this.

Plus, I'm not sure what's to be gained by waiting...what's going to happen? Strykker will undoubtedly claim a pro-town role that went to Origen's house last night...[He'll claim] cop. At this point, we'll either have to press forward and lynch him anyway, or we'll have the real cop come out to disprove Strykker's claim. Obviously, having our cop revealed is bad.

All in all, his claim seems fabricated.

But each character has a certain attribute or something that makes them good in this RPG. I.E., Mission Vao has really good stealth, which allows her to be undetected. HK-47 has a really good weapon accuracy, and feats suited towards combat, making him a really good fighter, plus he hates humans, making him perfect for overeager vig. Bastilla is the only jedi ever to learn battle meditation, making her suited particularily well towards it.
And mathcam, he didn't claim cop, did he?

[mathcam]

Yeah, yeah, so that part was wrong. But I still feel like we've ended up with a pro-town role revealed..we might as well see what al has to say at this point, though.

I'm confused aout this al, either you simply don't believe that I'm Bastila based on nothing more than gut instinct, or you are counter claiming Bastila in which case you really should counter-claim instead of just saying "You're lying die!"

Personally I feel like al_kohaulec is up to something, however I'm not going to vote for him until he checks back in to clarify what he meant by his post.

[al_kohaulec]

ok, maybe I should have said something different.

Yes I am Bastila, I wanted to basically say he was lying, but without having to reveal myself to the mafia. I see now that I was mistaken in how I worded it all. I don't even see why my claim was even necessary for this when we have a cop revealing him as guilty.

If you guys don't mind, I'd like to at least keep my ability a secret so I don't look like too big of a target for the mafia.
