I thought PST was the default setting for the forum. But yeah, it's in your profile settings.

Vote: Jolyma. Obviously waited for someone to mention her to post so that she could not be declared an early posting rogue later. This is what I think of your transparent attempt to slander and malign me: So there. Meanie head. @bunny That would be awesome! But I don't know what I want lol. I've had my YPP forum avatar for a couple years now, Sundancer made it for me during a December Doodle doodle contest, so I suppose I should change things around... I am afraid though that it will be terrible hard for me to concentrate on your posts. That dancing bunny is hypnotic!

Good news, there's a mobile app for these forums! Bad news, it's $2.99. Debating..

My brain also informed me. Though if anyone can do that scheduling thing like Lyaka did, that would help my brain too. Made a resolution this year to utilize my phone's calendar to keep all my stuff organized and it's working so far, so adding this to it would be lovely. This doesn't help your phone calendar, but there is a calendar on this board, which currently shows the Day 1/Night 1 deadlines. you can get to it from the header ribbon. If you click, they indicate the time, as well.

I have been devising a system to find rogues, linking the common denominators between all rogues, Here is what I have found
Rogues usually have syllables in their names. Rogues tend to post posts Rogues tend to pretend that they are not rogues.
now I think using this we should be able to put a list of suspects together.

Presupposing an inability to concentrate on anothers posts is interesting, I can see it now Bunny: I think we should ban.... I mean lynch an innocent.... I mean rogue Jolyma: I couldnt see past the cute avatar, I cant cast suspicion that way A likely story.

I think you're right, that's a surefire way to catch rogues! All we need, is for us townies to pretend that we're rogues, and whala! all the rogues lined up nicely in a row. A PWS is a role that can divine information about a player once each Night. In some games they can divine alignment (town/rogue), in others they can divine roles.

@ Sets: LOL <3 Oh and Joly, I can make you an avatar, guaranteed to be poorly drawn and demented looking, if you let me know what you'd like I highly suggest posting it in your classroom and then every time a kid messes it up just point at it, ask them if they want to look like that and bask in their sad face when they realize they have looked stupid. Preferably in front of the whole class, thus amplifying the embarrassment and making the moment stick in their mind forever so they never screw it up again. Also something that I'm curious about, unrelated to the game particularly. How blind are you actually Twopatch, presuming you don't mind talking about it.

I promise, if Bunny is ever that obvious, I will vote her regardless of the dancing rabbit.
I suppose, as fun as this all is, we should start getting down to business. That business, of course, the revolution. Now, there is the whole 'never edit!' debate we could argue, or the Lynch Day 1 vs No Lynch Day 1 dead horse, the 'There is a Rogue in the First Few Poster' theory (not sure that applies when we are all shooed to the thread from the sign up thread we were hijacking with conversations), the Meta vs Other Content debate, or the dreaded Are Roles Really the Most Important Thing in a Role Game...any or all are good places to start if we don't get too caught up in them.
Personally, editing adds you to my watch list, Lynching gives us info, statistically, there has been an historic use for First Poster(s) As Rogue theory in certain instances, Meta gives us a feel for a person, whereas Content other than Meta is where we can catch slipups, and I think that everyone is important, and if I see you being weird, I will call you on it.
I don't like huge posts full of links and lists, so don't expect those from me. While for some, it really IS a lot of effort for the townies, it's also a great place for a rogue to look like they're trying, but they're just really repeating everything someone else says.
On sheeping/parroting/puppy dogging...I do not think that someone who will agree now and then with someone's points is a rogue, but I am going to be suspicious if that is ALL one does. This really is just one giant game of debate. You can't just ignore good points because someone else said it first.
I will try my best to wonder why someone would do something not only as a rogue, but if it would benefit them as a townie too. I'm only human though, and sometimes impressions get in the way. Sometimes, the impressions are right.

I feel like trying to decide how many rogues we have among us might be a good place to begin as well, though you offer other good starting places Joly. I agree that the First Poster(s) as Rogues in this instance might not be as good due to us all being shepherded over here.
Given the size of the game we have, I would guess 2 or 3 among us are not who they appear to be.
And you say you want a revolution? Well, you know, we all want to change the world.

Not that I really have any understanding of how to balance a game, but I'd generally err high on rogue numbers for a roles game. Certainly more than 2. 3:15? 4:14? Are there 18 of us or can I not count?

Oh, yes, I suppose I should mention that if you edit, I will eet ur soul vote for you and try very hard to get you lynched. So, don't edit.
Sets has declared Joly innocent after an entirely meta post. That seems weird to me. Sure, innocents sometimes post meta posts, especially in Day 1, so it's not suspicion-worthy. But meta posts are freebies to the rogues, also especially in Day 1, so I would never take it as evidence of innocence.

But maybe thats just me. "and try very hard to get you lynched" - Taelac A strange term to use, why would you try very hard to get someone lynched for something both rogues and innocents do? would you put aside a suspicion elsewhere to pursue an editor?

The following quotes are from Twopatch...Have to figure out how to attribute quotes on this here forum... Syllable s? So you're giving FOI to those whose names contain only one syllable, rather than syllables, namely Leif and Riss. And here we have a blatant FOI for SeastarX. Little early to be throwing out so much FOI, isn't it 2patch? Of course I'm kidding, I just took exception to your little dialogue between Joly and me. I'd be much less clumsy and blatant than that In all seriousness, if the gyrations of my avatar are too AWESOME and distracting for anyone, I can change it... Tae sniped me, but was that an actual FOI on Joly Sets? And I don't need to post up demented looking avatars to disturb and embarrass my students...I have surer and less subtle means LOL

I appear to be on that list... I am rogue! and now I'm not. everyone else has only one syllable or 0-1 posts and therefore have only posted a post, not posts. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Boo! Meta. I say there's 3 or 4 roguey rogues hiding amongst us. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ TwopatchTae says that line every game (including last game), what prompted the questioning about it in this game?

Innocents editing and getting away with it gives rogues room to edit and get away with it. The only way to keep rogues from having editing among the tools available to them is to ensure that no one will be able to edit and get away with it. Thus, my policy is to always try to get editors lynched.
As for whether I would put aside suspicion elsewhere to pursue an editor, that would depend on the level of suspicion I had placed elsewhere, and what the effect on the round might be. Even in the case of a found rogue marching to the gallows, the editor would definitely be treated to a rousing game of "Taelac Questions Everything You've Ever Said" until such time as I could reasonably place the promised vote.
