I'm done posting unless addressed directly by Atticus. Good luck, Atticus. Make the right choice and lynch the other guy.
And please, if you think I am the correct lynch, give me a chance to defend myself more thoroughly before hammering.

Oops, sorry. I didn't see your question until you commented that you were waiting on an answer. I protected Patrick, assuming that, if he actually had a night roleblock, it wouldn't matter who I protected. Either he'd block me and the kill would go through (what I assume happened), or he'd block TCS and the kill wouldn't get as far as my needing to protect anybody. But if he had something other than a night RB (a cop investigation, for example), he'd be more valuable to have today than you would be.Atticus wrote:Waiting on an answer from Fuldu.
That's how I play, regardless of alignment. I can cite other games if you like.Atticus wrote:
TCS, you were (throughout day 1 - 3) so quick to jump on most any bandwagon. Is there a reason I shouldn't think you're scum for this?
You're the best judge. I know zero about the amazing race.I like how TCS's claim fits with a lot of other townies. I don't like Route Info as a doc.
Questions, answer!
That's my short answer for now before I go to sleep and I'll try to put together a more thorough answer to the other concerns tomorrow before I leave for work. Otherwise it'll be tomorrow night.Fuldu wrote:I protected MeMe Night One, mole (now Mariyta) Night Two, and Patrick last night.

Your game element is thetaxi driver, part of the Karma Mafia. Your fellow mafia are XXX YYY and ZZZ.. The ubiquitous taxi driver can deliver a life-or-death service to a team in The Amazing Race. Sometimes, the taxi drivers are godsends and get the team to the pitstop seconds before elimination. Sometimes, the taxi driver doesn’t know how to get the location or doesn’t understand the team and just leads them on a wild-goose chase. Nonetheless, a lot of the race depends on taxi drivers. And it is said that teams that build up good taxi karma by tipping well and treating locals nicely will get good taxicabs and the teams that act like obnoxious tourists often get the worst taxicabs. And since you’ve had your fair share of teams that try to stiff you and bargain down your rates. You and others want to eliminate as many teams as possible from the game, because their karma has been spent. You will do this by intentionally not picking up a team, by delaying them by charging full price, etc.
Because your true nature will likely be revealed when players are eliminated, you have been given a safe claim: “Intersection”.

Your game element is theox, part of the Karma Mafia. Your fellow mafia are XXX YYY and ZZZ.. The ox is a dutiful animal used in third-world countries for many different labours such as tilling the land, cargo transport and public transportation. The ox has been used before in The Amazing Race. And the oxen were not treated well. In fact, they were subject to a slanderous situation in which a player called one of the oxen as “broken”. Oxen do not deserve to undergo such treatment, and they want their revenge on the abusive teams. Teams that respect the local culture and animals tend to build up good karma and get help when they need it most. But others teams who act like obnoxious tourists have often used up all their karma. As such, you and others want to eliminate as many teams as possible from the game, because their karma has been spent. You will do this by intentionally blocking roadways, making game-tasks last longer than they should, etc.

Sometimes, the airline agents are godsends and get tickets for a team seconds before the airplane takes off. Sometimes, the airline agent sticks to his rules and regulations and will prohibit the team from boarding the plane. You know, security regulations have heightened due to liquid explosives being found in luggage or in shoes. Nonetheless, a lot of the race depends on an airline agent. And it is said that teams that build up good airplane karma by respecting cultures and being able to pronounce a location name correctly. These teams tend to get the right flight when it counts the most. And the teams that act like obnoxious tourists and use up their airport karma often miss an airplane, or get tied up at customs/immigration. And since you’re fairly annoyed with the teams that beg too much for a standby ticket or want you to ignore aviation guidelines, you and others want to eliminate as many teams as possible from the game, because their karma has been spent. You will do this by refusing teams to board, by delaying them at airport security, etc.

Your game element is theYield, a Serial Day Killer.. The Yield was introduced in TAR5US with mixed results. The Yield brought in a competitive element to the game which was absent before. Previously, teams never had to worry about game-invented elements which encouraged antagonism toward other teams. Teams just had to worry about not being in last. Until then, there was no surefire way to help a team be in last. But with the Yield, there became a way. The Yield allows any one team to force another team to stop racing for a predetermined amount of time. It has also been fairly innocuous because rarely has the Yield ever directly eliminated a team. It’s more of an annoying distraction than anything else. But TAR purists hate the Yield. And since you have the Yield, you are very competitive and are introducing an evil element to the game.However, beware, because you’re not the only game element that can eliminate teams during day.Nonetheless, you’d rather eliminate every single other team because you were rejected from Survivor and want to play the game like Survivor instead.
During “day”, you may send me a PM to decide if you want to “Yield” someone and thus eliminate that person from the competition. Often on the show, the Yield is only used on a player that you don’t like or feel is too strong for the competition. Thus, you mayonlyuse the Yield on the player that you have most frequently voted during that day up until that time (ties included). So if you’ve only voted one person so far during the day, you may use the Yield on that person. If out of your six votes, you’ve voted X thrice, Y twice and Z only once, then you may use the Yield on X and only X. I will keep track of who you may Yield at any given moment. When you “Yield” someone, please PM me with who will be “Yielded”. If you are incorrect and try to Yield someone who was not one of your top vote-getters, I will Yield the person who is eligible instead of your original choice. You may only use one “Yield” per day, and youdo nothave to use your Yield each day. If you decide to not “Yield” someone that day, you will have Night-kill immunity during the night that directly follows. However, you cannot have Night-kill immunity for two consecutive nights.
Note: Your daykill will be considered to be processed at the moment when you send your PM. However, I may delay showing the actual kill so that it does not reveal too much time-information to the other players. On the other hand, if your kill may have a direct result in changing how a lynch or other action occurs, I may post the results immediately. Daykills do not by themselves end the day. Day will continue onward until a deadline or a lynch threshold passes. Please be sure that when you send your PM, that you are aware of this fact.
Because your true nature will likely be revealed when players are eliminated, you have been given a safe claim: “Roadblock”.
Win condition: You are the last one standing in The Amazing Race or you are alive with only one other person in The Amazing Race.
Norway Fern - the boy in TAR6 who helped Lena/Kristy (the Mormon sisters) in the night after their flight. Thus he was a night protector.Inventor wrote:Patrick:
Your game element is the“Fern”, an inventor.. The Amazing Race fans refer to “Ferns” as locals who assist teams complete tasks, interpret languages for teams or help teams navigate through the city. This is because the first local who followed a team for the day was named Fern. You have a wide variety of “Ferns” in your collection.
Each night you can select one of your “Ferns” to help you. You will do this by sending me a PM with the name of the “Fern” whose assistance you desire and the player who you wish to target with the Fern’s abilities. Each fern has a typical one-shot ability, but you are not told of the ability until after you have sent in your target. In your arsenal of “Ferns” are the following: Norway Fern, Oman Fern, Panama Fern, and Thailand Fern. You cannot ask for a “Fern” twice until you have utilized all “Ferns” at least once. You are not allowed to communicate with any of the other players outside the thread.

Your game element is theCameraman, a tracker.. Cameramen are rough and ready workers who have to follow all the teams at all times during the day. But the Cameramen have to do it all while carrying a heavy camera on their while having a limited scope of view. Even though the Cameramen catch everything on camera during day, their eyes and minds are so film-aware that they can follow anyone during night, even when they don’t have their camera present.
Each night you will send me a PM of which player you would like to follow. If that player performed a night action, I will tell you who s/he targeted. You are not allowed to communicate with any of the other players outside the thread.
day doctor wrote:HackerHuck:
Your game element is theFast Forward, thus a day doctor.. The Fast Forward allows the team that receives it to skip all remaining tasks on that leg of the race and proceed directly to the Pit Stop. By receiving the Fast Forward at night, a team in this game cannot be lynched or targeted that entire following day. The Fast Forward gives teams a much needed break from the chaotic nature of the race and ensures that they can take a leisurely walk to the Pit Stop. However, there are only two Fast Forwards in this race and they cannot be given to the same player. Players will not be informed if they have won a fast forward.
Each night you will send me a PM telling me if you would like to give out a Fast Forward and to whom. You have two Fast Forwards in your possession. A player who is given the Fast Forward at night cannot be lynched or targeted during the entire following day. You may not give out both Fast Forwards on the same night. You are not allowed to communicate with any of the other players outside the thread.
day vigilante wrote:Atticus:
Your game element isthe host Phil Keoghan, thus a day vigilante.. Phil Keoghan is the host of The Amazing Race US Edition (aka the man that Allan Wu wishes he could be). He’s originally from New Zealand, so his accent gives his hosting abilities an air of credibility. He has always been the one to tell teams when they’ve been eliminated. Sometimes, he even has traveled out to the location on the race to tell a team they’ve been eliminated before they even complete all the tasks.
During day, you have the opportunity to day vigilante kill (further known as “daykill”) a player. You may only daykill players whom you have “sandwich-posted”. A “sandwich-post” sequence is one where in immediate succession, you post, your target posts, and then you post again. In effect, your two posts will “sandwich” another player’s post. Since “sandwich-posting” sometimes occurs by accident, youmustnotify me via PM when you want to use your day vigilante kill. In this PM, please tell me who you want to target to day vigilante kill, plus put the post number sequence (ie: 345-347) where you “sandwich-posted” your target. You do not need to use the daykill directly after you had “sandwich-posted” your target. As long as you have “sandwich-posted” your target sometime during that day, you will be able to use the daykill. You do not need to daykill a player each day and you may only daykill one player maximum per day. You are not allowed to communicate with any of the other players outside the thread.
Note: Your daykill will be considered to be processed at the moment when you send your PM. However, I may delay showing the actual kill so that it does not reveal too much time-information to the other players. On the other hand, if your kill may have a direct result in changing how a lynch or other action occurs, I may post the results immediately. Daykills do not by themselves end the day.

Damnit. Both those reasons were crap. You asked a question I'd already answered, so I quoted the answer I'd given yesterday, having already told you that I targeted Patrick again last night. And BM's comments suggested he'd found someone who wasn't scum (although looking at what he did, even that didn't follow from the result he'd gotten), because if the person he'd tracked had targeted MeMe, he would probably have said something. Congratulations for making the right decision anyway.Atticus wrote:I can only kill someone if I've sandwich posted them.
If I had told that, most people would have been weary about posting after me, and it would be ahrd to kill. Which is why it was a secret.
I killed Mariyta because I found where her sandwich post of HH was.
I truly thought BM and Patrick were scum. Oh well.
I thought Fuldu was the last scum because he only told me he protected 3 times. He left out one night.
Also, Fuldu reminded me that BM had had a result that he thought could find scum. I don't know why he'd bring that up, but all the better.
Hurray! Go town!
