[Jack A T]

At 4:02 PM EST today, Salsacookies posted a verbatim copy of his role PM in an effort to defend himself, violating the "no quoting the mod in relation to PMs" rule.  He clearly did not intend harm, and such quotation is not as harmful in this setup as in others, but the rule was seriously violated.  This is basically one of the main two situations the rule was made to prevent.

I hate to do this.  I hate, hate, hate to do this, but I have to enforce the rules, and this particular rule is pretty much impossible to enforce with warnings.  Salsa's almost a dead man walking anyway, at least, so the impact is lessened, and I'm letting him carry out his vengekill.  He's welcome back in any future game I run.

In the future, make sure to paraphrase.
For a while, the meeting seemed like a normal one.  Well, at least as normal as any meeting to deal with organized crime through democratic firings could be.  Accusations were flying around, evidence was being laid out, theoretical discussions occurred...the usual.

As the pressure on Salsacookies grew, though, things changed.  He, after all, had an alibi best not shown.  At the time of the crime, Salsacookies was stealing technical documents from a competitor.  Industrial espionage.  Salsacookies laid his secret, unredacted personnel file on the table for everyone to see.  This could prove to be a major security breach, so he was dealt with accordingly.

A few hours after he revealed himself, a special security team entered the room.  To be precise, they kicked the door in, leapt into the room, shot Salsacookies repeatedly, and left as if nothing happened.  Salsa bled.  Nobody helped him.  He bled some more.  Nobody moved.  Finally, he slowly drew his own handgun and, in his last moments, killed origamiscienceguy.

Then everyone alive had dinner and went to bed.
Day 2 has ended!  I'll throw the votecount in later.  And flavour.  And a title.

Day 3 ends at 9:30 PM PST Tuesday, January 12th.  There are two extensions available.

[TheBiggerFish]

Well, this sucks.
FallacyofUrist:Why did you visit me?

[TheDarkStar]

And another bites the dust...

Everyone: So who do you think killed who? One kill was probably the mafia, leaving the other to be killed by a vig/vet/other town killer or a third party SK. Once I reread the last few pages, I'll have a better idea about possible alignments.

FoU: No, you're not getting out of this question:

Or maybe it's the extension request that bothers me. Irrespective, I am bothered by something. Explain yourself.

[Tomasque]

@TDS Really, it could be anyone, but it's a good bet to say at least one of them was killed by mafia. The other? You said who I thought did it, and I really have no idea who could have killed the either a since I don't know whether an SK/Vig/Vet exists - or even which one was the mafia kill (perhaps neither, but I doubt that).

    Which just boils down to "what you said, but maybe no maf kills."

[FallacyofUrist]

oh.

Er hang on a minute sunshine, this suggest you thought you were the hammer, yet you still ask Salsa a question? What?

I presume you mean something like this one(correct me if I'm wrong).
The answer being:

I wasn't quite keeping track of the vote count- basically, I posted and then realized after the fact that it would hammer(not really, but that was what I thought), posted "oh". After after that, I learned that there wouldn't be a hammer yet. Slightly confused myself there.
~~~
Dangit Salsa why did you have to claim survivor?
~~~

Well, this sucks.
FallacyofUrist:Why did you visit me?

I was busy using you as my meatshield. If someone would have tried to kill me, that would have hit you instead. Hope you don't mind.

[Tomasque]

TDS: Why were you not posting for much of the second day?

[fillipk]

Well, this sucks.
FallacyofUrist:Why did you visit me?

TBF nice to see you scum hunting, you avoided my vote for now.

Mod: am i still marked?

Everyone else: someone wanna claim marking me now? Or explain what the mark was?

Tiruin: you are a double voter yet you had no vote day 2, in fact I don't think you even posted day 2, PFP so I might be wrong but you wanna explain that?

*PPE* I looked back and saw 4 posts, I can see the bad internet problems but do you mind explaining why you weren't happy with the state of the voting yet cast no vote?

Gwuhh, bad internet + people posting much [ie Emotional posts] > contentful posts will take some time to go through <_<
Extend please?

I am not happy with the state of voting as it is, today.

Teneb: you were the only one voting Moonlit and now they are dead, how do you plead?

Also you had low activity day 2, is there a reason for that cause you only attacked moonlit, and then salsa for threatening his vengeful kill and then you disappeared.

[Jack A T]

Mod: am i still marked?

fillipk: You were not marked N2.

[origamiscienceguy]

Tomasque

[origamiscienceguy]

also, bah. (SALSACOOOKKIIIIIEEEESSS )

[TheBiggerFish]

@Fallacy:You could have asked for a medic.  I kind of do mind.

[FallacyofUrist]

@Fallacy:You could have asked for a medic.  I kind of do mind.

Noted. Unfortunately for me, it won't be happening again, as that was my one shot.

In any case, here's my full claim- I don't want to confuse/inconvenience the town any longer by keeping it a secret. If this makes me a mafia target, so be it.

I am Shop Vac by Johnathan Coulton.
I have a night ability that blocks and protects a target.
I have an auto ability that makes me immune to actions with multiple targets.
My one shot ability, now used, lets me use another player as a meat shield, and tells them I visited them.

I would give names too, but I'm not sure at what point the rule against quoting role PMs applies.

[Jack A T]

I would give names too, but I'm not sure at what point the rule against quoting role PMs applies.

Quote in quote tags linking (ineffectively) to the PM, or directly dumping a PM unparaphrased and representing it as the PM ("my action was blocked" is fine.  "I received a PM saying 'your action was blocked'" is not).  Applies to all PMs from me, whether action or role PMs.

[Deus Asmoth]

FoU: why did you decide to use that ability last night when you hadn't done anything during the day that would particularly warrant a scumkill from what I can see? And why did you decide on TBF?
