@mastin- It was a ModKill on Hanzo followed by 2 NLs, yeah. Freaking ridiculous. And that 1st NL had me as a ghost doing everything in my power to get MC Lynched. I mean seriously, I had Mala double post on every freaking VC for that Day. She said she'd post a VC with every change in my Vote, so I'd spam PM her with UnVote/Vote:MC. I don't think it was mentioned a single time. /smh
Honest is easy, fiction's where genius lies.

Town Role PM's:
Spoiler: Prue
Prue HalliwellHello Smudger,

You are Prue Halliwell, a Charmed One and allied with the Town.


Image

You are the oldest of your three sisters, and strongest witch of the Charmed Ones. You moved back to San Fran with you sisters, Piper and Phoebe, after your engagement with Roger didn’t work out and it’s been six months after the death of your grandmother. Your mother died at an early age so you feel the need to protect your younger sisters whenever possible. Since the night of Phoebe reciting an incantation spell you now have the power to move things with your mind and you are slowly learning how to control it. You are a main appraiser for Buckland’s Auction House and you have rekindled your relationship with your old highschool flame, Andy. You now are just beginning to learn how to balance life of saving innocents and juggling a life.

Abilities:


Since you are the strongest of the Charmed Ones you have gained the power of Telekinesis, but with every new power you need time to develop it. You are a progressive JOAT. At the start of every night you will receive flavor regarding which power you have received. Please note that you do not have to use any shots right away and may be saved or used whichever way once they are unlocked.

Here’s a full list of your powers:

Power of Telekinesis
: Any night you may switch two objects of your choice. This means any actions done to one player will happen to the other player and vice versa. [One-Shot Bus Driver]

Truth Spell
: You may cast one spell to see if that player is Mafia or Town. This is guaranteed a sane result. [One-Shot Cop]

Power of Deflection
: At any point you may deflect an item thrown to you and deflect it back to a player. This will cause the player to die. [One-Shot Villagante]

Due to this you have gained the power to freeze things when you feel you are in danger. You learned this when you accidentally froze your boss, but later became a Chef at Wake. You have an on and off relationship with Leo Wyatt, but later find out he is you whitelighter.

DAMN. DIRTY. MASTIN!
Of all tyrannies,a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

What should I have done different to get more people to listen to me? Was I not confident enough sounding? Or did I present my case badly? Or did I not properly engage people to get them to notice my case? I'd love to get some feedback.

Agreed.

I apologize for replacing out. :nod:. I had no choice. Smudger pmmed me and I read it like a derp. I immediately told the mods and I figured I would be replaced.

That being said, Kudos to MC and Mastin for kicking ass after I was gone.

Normally I scumread her due to conflicting opinions/moonlogic and when I read her stuff this game I wasn't getting that feeling, that like "man titus is scum"

I'll figure out what it is and get back to you on it but that's the general idea

Sooo close. I make sense as scum no sense as town.

:good:

That said, I've experienced a little spate of being 'absolutely accurate' paired with 'not being listened to' in this game and another recently ended one. I developed this account to try to alter my playstyle, but though I think I've solved some issues for myself this one is clearly a new one. The happy little squirrel gets ignored a fair deal - do you have any thoughts on how to make myself more forceful without crossing into the 'whotta joik' playstyle that some people get when they become demanding?

Is it just maybe more repetition and snappy quick case explanations needed?

Quite the opposite problem, in fact.

Your 'confidence' read as (because it was) arrogance. And while that type of charm may work on certain players, in here, all it did was invalidate any legitimate point you could have been making. Because by being so sure about it, you appeared to have basically nothing. Your tell on me, for instance, is something that was easily proven to be BS. I meant that when I said it, that the only reason I didn't counter it wasn't because I couldn't, but because I felt too lazy TO counter it.

That's not to say there aren't legitimate things you could have focused on. As town being misread as scum for bad reasoning, I will have a freak-out, where I try to figure out what's going on. As scum being read correctly as scum for bad reasoning, I will rant about why that reasoning is bad, and either paint the person using it as scum (like I did) or as wrong-town. The two might superficially have similarities, but are quite transparent after a more in-depth look.

If you had pushed something akin to that, I wouldn't have been able to fight back effectively. Because that is an instinctive response that I can't help but doing as scum. But since you pushed me for things that were alignment-null (or even potentially towntells of mine), you gained no support since...it was for things that were alignment-null, and you thinking they were alignment-indicative made your posting arrogant.

Random thought--I'm beginning to suspect that Squirrel Girl is an alt of Jake from State Farm.

Both claim to be good at reading me, but use bad reasoning to do so,
I seem to recall one of them referencing a game the other was in,
Both have a similar sense of humor,
And both have similar posting styles...
...Including both of them kinda being pricks.

:P

Butyeah. I didn't read the whole game, so I'm not going to give feedback to everyone, but I want to give more extensive feedback to the players who were here during my time in the town.

I didn't think I came across as a prick...
