As far as I can tell he was truthful: he targetted bethelmark night 1, and our only change to the article was to replace bethelmark's name with CA everywhere.
Yggdrasil, will you get roles up for us to look at soon?

I replaced into Chess Mafia for 6 months, and all I got was a win and this lousy sig.
Sounds like the entire game of mafia in a nutshell....Foolster41 wrote:I couldn't tell if your going after me was a scum tactic or not.
Coming in when and as I did, I felt like I had to drive the conversation. If I'd just sat back and been cryptic, you guys would've lynched me right away.
I followed what looked like a reasonable lead and put pressure on you because (1) you were my best theory at the time and (2) I wanted to see if Thok would get an itchy trigger finger. He's too good a player for that, as it turns out, but I thought it was worth a try.
What tune could that be?

Roles:
bloojay/Gin Fizz:
FalloutGirl:You are the Chief Editor (town). Once per game, you may take the responsibility of editing the paper into your own hands. Just PM me when you want to do so, and the paper published the following morning will contain no errors. You win when all who are conspiring against the Morning Daily Times are dead.
Commodore Amazing:You are a Photographer (town). Every night, you may PM me the name of one player. You will investigate that player and determine whether they are up to something illegal. You win when all who are conspiring against the Morning Daily Times are dead.
N_Lich:You are a Reporter (town). Every night, you may PM me the name of one player. That player will be informed that you requested an interview with them and have the option to send you a PM containing any information they wish to give you. You win when all who are conspiring against the Morning Daily Times are dead.
TSAGod:You are a Writer (town). Every night, you may PM me the name of one player. That player will be the subject of an article in the following morning’s paper. This article will reveal the role and alignment of that player and will be included as asignedarticle in the next morning’s paper (i.e. the article will say it was written by you). You win when all who are conspiring against the Morning Daily Times are dead.
RangeroftheNorthYou are a Writer (town). Every night, you may PM me the name of one player. An article about that player will appear in the following morning’s paper. This story will not be particularly flattering and will cause quite a scandal. As a result of your article, the public backlash will take away that player’s vote for the day. You win when all who are conspiring against the Morning Daily Times are dead.
Foolster41:You are a Writer (town). Every night, you may PM me the name of one player. That player will have his/her horoscope written in the following morning’s paper. Specifically, that player’s horoscope will predict his/her death. If that player is dead by the following night, you are immune to any kills that night. You win when all who are conspiring against the Morning Daily Times are dead.
bethelmark:You are a Writer (town). You are responsible for writing articles about the upstanding citizens of the town. If you choose to use your ability by sending me a PM at night, an article will appear in the People section describing an upstanding citizen whom you know to be innocent (unless the article was edited before publication). You win when all who are conspiring against the Morning Daily Times are dead.
stark:You are an Intern (town). On the night following a player’s death, you will be given the option to take that player’s role. Once you accept a role, you may not accept another role. Once you decline a role, the role will no longer be offered to you. You win when all who are conspiring against the Morning Daily Times are dead.
PBuG/bertrand:You are an Intern (town). You’re just a lowly intern. You win when all who are conspiring against the Morning Daily Times are dead.
Thok:You are a Staff Member of the Daily Morning Times, masquerading as an Intern at the Morning Daily Times. You Thok and Nightfall are editors for the Daily Morning Times who are trying to eliminate your competition at the Morning Daily Times. At night, you and your fellow conspirators may discuss your plans. Each night, one of you may send me the name of a player whom you would like to kill. In addition, each of you will be sent a copy of the morning paper, which you will be able to edit before publication. You may edit only one article. To do this, one of you will send me the edited copy of the article you wish to revise. You win when the Morning Daily Times is eliminated.
Nightfall:You are a Staff Member of the Daily Morning Times, masquerading as a Reporter at the Morning Daily Times You PBuG and Nightfall are editors for the Daily Morning Times who are trying to eliminate your competition at the Morning Daily Times. At night, you and your fellow conspirators may discuss your plans. Each night, one of you may send me the name of a player whom you would like to kill.

To do so, just PM me the article, or (if you want me to write the article), PM me the key points of the article (i.e. player 1 is mafia or player 2 is town). You win when the Morning Daily Times is eliminated.

Thank you all for playing the game. I hope you all had as much fun playing as I had designing and moderating this game. I would like to especially thank Gin Fizz for volunteering to act as a replacement so late in the game.
Any questions, comments, or complaints about the setup?

I enjoyed this set-up, but it was incredibly frustrating at times. Was there any way I could have editted the corrections so that the next days correction wouldn't have mentioned FalloutGirl?
It felt like there were a lot of cops in this game (3 plus a generic backup). This was somewhat balanced by the lack of docs, but scum really couldn't assume that fact (even if we should have guessed it from the theme). If we had guessed that fact scum could have won fairly easily by nightkilling FalloutGirl Night 2.
FalloutGirl's role seemed a bit unthematic; it was the one role that scum couldn't directly influence in any way.
I'm shocked by how useful my interviewer power was; were you expecting it to have that much influence on the game? (Actually, I'd like to know your thoughts on how the setup went in general.)

LMAO, man there were so many times I checked this thread after my deaf thinking that Thok was going to be caught. And then when Fizz mentioned the possibility of us editing the corrections I almost had a heart attack. Thok, I'm glad to see you kept Foolster with you till the end, and I wish I could have been there to help you. Oh well, we'll have plenty of time to catch up... when we're writing the NUMBER ONE paper in town!
Great game guys.
P.S. If you look at everything we did in this game, it's pretty funny how ever since her claim, falloutgirl was the cause of every single thing we did...

Once Nightfall comes, everyone's dead...

You actually could have changed the corrections post to say whatever you want. However, to be fair, each separate correction would have had its own corrections article. For example, instead of having no corrections article on day 4, you could have had it say that the correction from day 3 was missing. However, on day 5 there would be two corrections articles, one for FalloutGirl's story day 3 and one for the erroneous corrections article on day 4.

Anyway, I thought the setup worked fairly well. I did realize that there were probably too many cops and that had the random number generator gone more in the town's favor for Foolster's role, the town could have had an easy win. However, I wasn't expecting N_Lich to use his role often. I thought that since his article gave away his identity, he would save it. Plus, it's my experience that whenever there are a lot of cops in the game, people will lynch one or more of them thinking that there can't be that many cops in the game, especially when one (FalloutGirl's) role seems somewhat out of flavor. The backup was probably a bit too much though. However, one reason that I wanted so many cops is to balance out the mafia's ability to edit the paper, which turned out to be pretty powerful.
As for your role, Thok, I thought the mafia needed at least one confirmable role since most of the town had roles which could be confirmed. Though, I didn't expect it would be as useful since Commodore Amazing has the exact same role so I thought that one of you would eventually be lynched for it.
