Mini 1630: Edgar Allan Poe uPick GAME OVER!

[LynxKuroneko]

I'd be quite happy to be lynch fodder today. There's the Jester thing, but I doubt that's really a concern or an investment a low-tier player such as myself could invest in.

As an aside, tossing the word "scummy" around on Day 1 and without any utility will only cause confusion. I'd like to be investigated tonight, if possible. Then I will be lynched by townread players. Why?

Because I'm crazy!!

Why is a raven like- wait, that's relevant, right?

**And gemmy flower, of Trebizond misnam'd—
Inmate of highest stars, where erst it sham'd
All other loveliness: its honied dew
(The fabled nectar that the heathen knew)
Deliriously sweet, was dropp'd from Heaven,
And fell on gardens of the unforgiven
In Trebizond—and on a sunny flower
So like its own above that, to this hour,
It still remaineth, torturing the bee
With madness, and unwonted reverie:
In Heaven, and all its environs, the leaf
And blossom of the fairy plant, in grief
Disconsolate linger—grief that hangs her head,
Repenting follies that full long have fled,
Heaving her white breast to the balmy air,
Like guilty beauty, chasten'd, and more fair:
Nyctanthes too, as sacred as the light
She fears to perfume, perfuming the night:
**And Clytia pondering between many a sun,
While pettish tears adown her petals run:
***And that aspiring flower that sprang on Earth—
And died, ere scarce exalted into birth,
Bursting its odorous heart in spirit to wing
Its way to Heaven, from garden of a king:

* This flower is much noticed by Lewenhoeck and Tournefort.
The bee, feeding upon its blossom, becomes intoxicated.

** Clytia—The Chrysanthemum Peruvianum, or, to employ a
better-known term, the turnsol—which continually turns
towards the sun, covers itself, like Peru, the country from
which it comes, with dewy clouds which cool and refresh its
flowers during the most violent heat of the day.—B. de St.
Pierre.

*** There is cultivated in the king's garden at Paris, a
species of serpentine aloes without prickles, whose large
and beautiful flower exhales a strong odour of the vanilla,
during the time of its expansion, which is very short. It
does not blow till towards the month of July—you then
perceive it gradually open its petals—expand them—fade
and die.—St. Pierre.

A roadmap to victory. Don't be scared. It'll all make sense once I pass the threshold.

[Medea the Alien]

what the fuck is this shit.

-ceph

I dunno man, I thin lynx might be crumbing something but keep it super duper sekrit so nobody else notices.


P-edit: If you're claiming you're more positive utility while dead then why be coy about it?

[LynxKuroneko]

I approve of Madea the Alien, Alton edition.

I'm trying not to give off Jester vibes in case anyone is worried about that. Though not sure how I could effectively do that. For now I'll just keep my eyes out for scum trails.

[TellTaleHeart]

I think Krystal thingy's asterisk "body language" shtick is bullshit, by the way.

[Medea the Alien]

I actually have ffery-as-mod/gamedesigner meta here, but i'm not entirely sure it's worth discussing today.

[Medea the Alien]

oops i was asleep hi, this is egopost.

I'm also fairly certain this is a lie

Missed this one. Tell me all about my sleepy nap habits, orci. I'm sure you know them better than I do! I definitely never wake up, post once or twice, then roll back over because I'm a lazy fucker! (Also my main didn't get a daystart PM I feel tier's pains)

Pickup. This post was my egopost.

-TTH

[Kthxbye]

@kthx: Well, seems like I was just in time with that post

I don't think krystal has a PR.

AND I DIDNT GET A DAYSTART PM OKAY

Kthx, are you saying that you have no reason other than wagon to be on lynx? Do you see any scummy players as of yet?
-Tier

-guess so
-I do
-correct and maybe...I has questions out there still

Now that I've answered your questions, wanna go back and answer mine?

Kthx, why is having a PR town? Even if it's real (it probably isn't), there is nothing preventing scum from having PRs.

-Ceph

Having a PR doesn't make one town. I also wouldn't call having a post restriction town. I haven't actually run into any post restriction'ed players that flip scum though, so maybe I'm biased. If it was a scum post restriction though, one could easily just lurk with it which isn't what I see from Krystal thus far. For the record, I believe Krystal actually has the restriction. Who the fuck would want to play a game posting like that for their own fun. Doesn't sound fun to me. I'm also betting that Krystal could prove it's real or not as most post restrictions I've seen have a penalty for not following the restriction like losing their vote or something. If it's important to people to know if it's real or not, D1 sounds like a good day to prove it and get it out of the way.

[PurloinedLetter]

No, you asked me to wait?

[Kthxbye]

oh yeah, my bad. carry on

[Medea the Alien]

You're forgetting that time in chef mafia!

[CaskOfAmontillado]

Hey so Krystal, I know that faking a PR might be fun and all that, but it's also really annoying and it's gonna make it tough to play a game that's already full of hydras.

TTH thinks you're doing it because you're scum. I'm not so sure of that.

So here's your chance. Drop the schtick now and no harm done.

But if you actually have a PR? Or if you're really that dedicated to a joke thats not really very clever?

Best keep it up. Cause if you slip and dont get punished by the mod? We're gonna assume that your motive is antitown and burn down your metaphorical house.

This will be my only post on this subject that does not include a vote.

[PurloinedLetter]

Lol@all the hate
It's pretty funny actually

[CaskOfAmontillado]

What is?

[PurloinedLetter]

Fwiw, this half of our hydra believes Krystal simply has a restriction and no power that comes with it.

-fake

[copper223]

copper, you drew scum again didn't you?

VOTE: copper

-TTH

No but I think you might have, it's just gut for now but that negative intro about giving no fucks pings me.

[copper223]

I also didn't find it and Kristal likely has a post restriction involving facial expressions, eyes in particular.

Lynx does seem pretty scummy though, did you roll Jester m'boy?

Let's talk about this for a second. Expound on the Lynx scumread.

-TTH

It's not a scumread, he seems to be trying to be scumread and I'm thinking about why he would do so.

He starts with: it's not OMGUS I promise (???), then an aTe about please stop voting me, then he hints PR with you will regret this and finally he avoids answering questions with random conments: I'm following the flow, he then went further with the PR hints.

He is either a very awkward scum player or something else is going on.

Policy lynch: you find it suspicious I'm trying to understand the setup? Lol. Why is Bookitty not suspicious as well?

I think Krystal is leaning town from her opening posts, the restriction means jack for her alignment and TTH should be the first to know it, this myth about restrictions being super powered PR's or scum is BS most of the time, so I'm judging her on what she says as you should, and meta reading lynx after what Ceph said was also my first reaction.

[copper223]

My lovely hydra partner just pointed out to me that kthx wasn't talking about lynx in the post I scumread him for, but about krystal bald. Luckily, copper is almost doing the exact same thing I was voting kthx for; discrediting lynx and blaming the wagon on lynx by asking if he drew jester.

VOTE: copper

I like medea.
-Tier

Unfortunately your correction is as bad as the initial post, as I am not advocating a lynx lynch for now and definitely not blaming his wagon as those on it have a good reason to be.

[CaskOfAmontillado]

Drunken comments ping you now? Alright.

[CaskOfAmontillado]

It's not a scumread, he seems to be trying to be scumread and I'm thinking about why he would do so.

From what I've heard, Jester as a role isn't really used and is mainly the stuff of lore now.

He starts with: it's not OMGUS I promise (???), then an aTe about please stop voting me, then he hints PR with you will regret this and finally he avoids answering questions with random conments: I'm following the flow, he then went further with the PR hints.

He is either a very awkward scum player or something else is going on.

How did you rule out him just being a a very awkward player just in general?

And you know the post restriction is real... how?

[copper223]

You play a lot with Mollie and that kind of intro is what I'd expect from Mollie scum, unfortunately I have no direct scum meta on you. Your vote on me because I said the player I started the RVS on seemed scummy and I did the same in lucky star is good enough at first glance and may bag you a town read or two if the average player checks it out, but the quality of the two reads and the replies from Lynx and Lia are very different, so no hun for now I don't like you because you are going for appearance over analysis.

[CaskOfAmontillado]

I played exactly one game with mollie and it was the one you saw. She was town. :\
