It's tough being a marine sometimes. The amount of drinking, wanton sex and gratuitous violence that comes along with the job would kill an ordinary man. Hell, it damned near killed Ash back on Moran II three years ago. The woman's husband, who would have known that he just happened to build tactical nukes for a living? The little sociopath damned near blew up an entire fracking planet.
He DID however manage to blow off half of Ash's face. The injury caused severe brain damage and ash is now a walking Darth Vader replica. Almost as machine as man, but without the awesome fracking lightsword.
Not all was roses though. While having a computer chip in your brain does improve accuracy, coolness, and the gratuitous violence quotient, Ash still had to screw and drink like a marine. The former being somewhat difficult to do when you look like a deleted scene from the terminator, and the latter proving exceptionally challenging when the alcohol only has half as many brain cells to kill.
It can thus perhaps be understood our hero's confusion as he surveyed the wreckage before him, his brain still clouded by too much scotch the night before, and his processors on overload from the newest Old-Earth porn.
I am voting the gimmick, because clearly he has something to hide:
Vote: Ash LV 426
Yes yes! We hide things. We hide our scotch lest you cretins find it. We hide our punjabi tribal war pipes were once used to wage war on others. If you refused to smoke the pipe it was a grave offense and the queen of england got beheaded yesterday.
I ate a duck once. Or was it a cat? No now I remember. I ate a duck at dinner, then a *****cat was my dessert. Hairballs. And it smelled like tunafish! Doctor Evil, now there's a man with a good kittycat. Shaved and smooth, the way they all should be. Tastes better with less hair. No wait... I ate chicken not duck. My bad.
We think you're nosy. We think we might be a spoon. I spooned with Jessica Alba last night. I was the front spoon, we watched a movie. One of hers. She was a stripper.
No wait, that's not right. We watched a movie about computers. Machines taking over the world. Kraj was in the movie, he led a cult, but he died soon. We liked that movie. There was a spoon in it. Spoons are better for eating soup than forks
Actually, it was a snarky remark in respone to Ash showing up at the same moment I queried help.
Unless Ash is Axelrod in disguise, and you have that information for some reason, I'll just assume you got your 'A' names mixed up.
We think that is what happened. We are just a kid, we are not an axel. Of course I don't know about the OTHERS. The sober one, and the arrogant one, and possibly more that we don't know about yet.
We are also getting tired of making our text green. Green is for christmas trees. And with christmas goes eggnog, and with eggnog goes rum. We like christmas. Well, the sober one doesn't... but he's jewish.
Silence you fools! Vote for the angry ones. They make the loud noises. She moaned like a pornstar so loud people two planets over were getting boners
We should vote the angry ones, not the pale vampire. I said boner...
This game is like having 4 DGB's stepping on each other to get the highest post count, while babbling their thoughts without inhibitions. A scary thought in itself, but even more frightening when you realize that this game is hosted on Sally.
It's never easy, this life. Not for the first time, he thinks the Air Force, or whatever newfangled name they've given it now, might've been a better idea.
zindabad stands back, watching the discussion - if it could be called that - with arms folded and eyes hooded. There's a little flask of vodka (or, as he likes to call it, Old Earth's Great Gift to the Universe) wedged into a fold somewhere in this hostile environment suit, and it's certainly on his mind as he listens to his fellow Marines. A couple of them are just spouting random nonsense, their voices pinging away relentlessly on his upper registers. One appears to have voices inside his head. "Too early to start cracking up," zindabad thinks to himself. "We've got a job to do here." He sighs, reaches into his suit (not for the vodka, unfortunately - that'll have to come later), and pulls out a scrap of paper. He glances down, more out of habit than necessity (he's already memorized its contents), and heads towards the others.

I think that attempts to "toggle" it have failed already, and I'm not sure what other syntax is possibly needed, but I'm thinking that not just anyone can change it.

zindabad rolls his eyes. Want something done, looks like you'll have to do it yourself. New Earth's the same as Old Earth in that respect.
Why yes, quite an astute observation there! The lack of response to this makes it more like a scumminess dumpling wrapped in scumpaper, seared in rendered scum fat, boiled in scum flavored water served with a side of scum jus.
Why would you want to mess with this? If we set it higher, it becomes harder to reach a consensus. Lower, and it becomes easier for scum to get information and push lynches.
To kick off some discussion, do we actually want the full role PMs revealed? If it's this easy to toggle it on, I'll be damned if there wasn't a downside to it.
I can't think of a downside, and we're already voting on it. What downside are you concerned about?
Cubus, I can't think of any reason you would post that, in that way, as town, so maybe you should come up with one for me.

Yeah, I do. At the very least you threw it out there as a topic of discussion, which is a reason.
There are pros and cons to throwing that switch in my mind. I was wondering what your 'pros' were.
What are your thoughts on revealing role PMs after death? That's an open question for everyone. I don't think that one needs to take up a lot of our time. If you don't vote for it, at least state why.

If you can come up with the downside, I'm all ears. In a vacuum, however, I'll always opt for the role reveal, and I'm not going to be scared off getting that info because of some phantom "omg, what if it might be bad?"

Yes, this is true, but if I have to believe Azrael (I'm not sure if that's the right thing to do, though), roles were randomly distributed among scum and town, so in that case there cannot be a pre-planned downside.
Azrael also said that in addition to "the town roles" that were distributed amongst town and scum, the mafia has other tricks up their sleeve.
Propose: The current threshold of 12 is fine TYVM.
Who says the current lynch threshold is 12? Did Az change it (hint, look in the first post).

I'm saying that we should at least set one, instead of leaving it at X.
On the topic of reveal on death, I'm voted yes, without much thought.
After some more consideration, I'm still thinking yes. Az is known to put tricks like this that discourage gaming the mod (right?), and my concern that Az wouldn't have allowed something like this to be toggled so easily for the town is not enough to convince me otherwise.

That's true, and that's actually about it, too. It's a proposal. I doubt, especially given the hidden information of the function, that we're looking at a standard Mafia Nightkill here. What Pros and Cons were you thinking of?
I thought about it not being the standard kill, which is a con.
If it is the standard kill, then enabling it allows certain roles that are designed to find scum (e.g. trackers, watchers, blockers) to do their thing. The tradeoff being that we lose a body overnight, and Lylo comes faster.
Who says the current lynch threshold is 12? Did Az change it (hint, look in the first post).
You sort of have to read all of Azrael's posts
Hint, look at the official votecount.
