Trundle is scum.
So what gets me the most is his roleclaim. Multiple times in the IRC he has come straight out as a Veteran. I'm sure others can back me up on this assertion. Now I'm trying to think why he would do this. The point of a veteran is to make Mafia waste hits on you. Publicly announcing that you are a vet defeats the purpose of this. I see this as a way for him to "immunise" himself from hits at night, then when he magically emerges unscathed the next day, he can just put it down to "yeah I scared the Mafia off hitting me". It's pretty easy to see right through that.
Let's not forget his opening post and the pearl of wisdom inside:
First off, I want to say that we need to watch out for the people who are quick to role claim. The mafia this game have a list a safe role claims, and it would be easy for them to push out some vague role and then hope it gains the trust of the town.
Then when Karen makes a post about Tom roleclaiming and posting his list, Trundle is suddenly very quick to forget his advice:
I do it quite often in my townie games as well, actually. Claiming townie is a great way to get the mafia to just leave you alone, especially for strong players who have a lot to say in the game. I do understand how you're calling him out, but it's commonly done, I've done it like the last 3-4 games (even though I'm always still targeted night one but protected by doctors, btw don't protect me).
This, along with his own Veteran roleclaim, is a little inconsistent, right? If he always claims townie as town, why has he suddenly gone for Veteran this time? I don't blame him though, it can be hard to keep a consistent story when you're a liar.
Then we have this, atypical Godfather post:
I'm pretty sure if there is a DT who wants to inspect me, go ahead.
Why are you encouraging DTs to waste inspections on you, if you know you're town? Every game I watch or take part in, I lambaste people for using DTs to confirm innocents, rather than find scum. We win the game by finding and killing scum, not by finding town to circlejerk over.
And talk about fostering a terrible thread atmosphere.
THIS GAME
IS NOT ABOUT
YOUR FEELINGS
WE CAN ACCUSE YOU ALL YOU WANT. YOUR POSTS SUCK. IT'S TRUE. IT'S PROVEN. WE CAN GO BACK AND LOOK AT THEM. YOU CHOOSE TO POST THOSE THINGS. YOU HAVE AT LEAST BEEN GIVEN A CHANCE TO TRY AND DEFEND YOURSELF WHILE THOSE WHO HAVEN'T POSTED HAVE NOT HAD THAT CHANCE DUE TO BEING BUSY
STOP
STOP GETTING UPSET WHEN PEOPLE ACCUSE YOU, AND JUST PLAY THE GAME LIKE YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO
IT'S A DAY ONE LYNCH, IF YOU CAN SHOW YOU'RE ACTUALLY TRYING TO DO SOMETHING, YOU CAN AVOID BEING LYNCHED
You know exactly what kind of player Beary is, you've mentioned it in previous posts. Rather than constantly trying to mould other players into what you want them to be, learn to accept how they are and play around it. All that post does is turn an already crappy thread into an even bigger poopfest. Between people like you upsetting Beary, and Horus & Dolby trolling oath, it's no wonder people want to avoid this garbage thread.
Oh, and Ashtot died, how convenient given how quickly he found you out last game.
VOTE: Trundle
Thank you Kaiaa for testing out the pitfall. As it essentially functions like a roleblock, and it didn't trigger on Trundle last night, we can safely say that he is not some sort of blue power role. It shouldn't stop Mafia from using their kills. With this, I see even less reason for why he would legitly claim veteran.
Regarding items, I would still love to receive the 6 bells that are being given away, just so I can see what the Amazing Machine does. I'd be happy to give the remaining two bells to Kaiaa or whoever else we vote for to receive the bells. All transfers are public so you can hold me to that. Or if Kaiaa get the bells, I would appreciate receiving 4 of those.
