Man, it's been awhile since I had one of those.

Congratulations on the hammer, partner.

I got the reaction we needed to see with the delay via unvote.  Paco strikes me as most likely partner.

Chances McGarg is lying?  He can't be, right?


What does all this mean??? I'm super confused.

It means you just mislynched a townie again, and you forgot to use your role power so you are the LVP of the game. But at least your username is fun to change around.

Cool! What's an LVP? Do I get a Prize from the Prize pile?

Look, I had to be talked out of coming straight out fake claiming cop so I could force a counter claim and out the cop and maybe even get him mislynched to boot, so this was a disappointing exit.

I'm gonna die from misreading setups regardless of my alignment. From now on I'm not talking about setups, period.
Also, we were all set for me to hammer ashersky, so I'm bitter.

Wow.. that was all so fast! I've only just eaten dinner, then there were like 14 intervening posts while I was writing a comment to McGarnacle, and now there's no point in even posting it. That was practically a real-time conversation! Do we have a minimum day length?

Well, you shot the cop anyway, so I hope you wouldn't have followed through.

May as well post the comment I was going to make to McGarnacle anyway, since I think PPS's explanation of his comments was aimed at sewing confusion rather than explaining anything!

I feel really bad for RR. At first I thought he was town, but I still voted for him. I think we should try PPS.

You have to. This is a horrible mistake regardless of my alignment. There is no way to correctly read anyone around it. Lynching me today doesn't really reveal anything about anyone's alignment because hey, it's the obvious scumslip angle that magically absolves everyone of responsibility when it turns out to not be true. My apologies, fellow townies.

Sorry, I don't understand what you are saying.

He's implying he'll flip town, (which is pretty much impossible at this point!) but that it won't look bad for anyone to have voted for him because they can use the scumslip as a credible reason for having voted that way. That's in contrast to the RR lynch, where Ash, JR and PPS get extra suspicion from my point of view for having voted to lynch a townie (and I get extra from other people too). You're immune from that sort of thing because you're IC, assuming Ash isn't about to propose a set-up where you could be lying, which seems unlikely, even given his comment at #514.

Well this definitely feels a lot more like ash. Damn, he might just have gotten MVP here. Curse you, I was going for it. I'll have to find scum tomorrow then.

It's basically impossible for McGarg to be lying.  And since PPS told us they have a RB, that makes sense as the reason he survived N1.

Would have survived either way, because the other scum PR was investigation inmune. Anyway I have to go, no more twilight for me.

So PPS claiming ash is his partner is total Wifom, but being talked out of claiming cop... ash seems like one of the only ones who would do that besides me. And I'm IC so that means it's likely ash is PPS's partner.

Agreed. We need to add this to the list of nicknames.

Slampp read the latest note carefully, mulling things over before he nodded.

Alright, he wrote, here is the quote.

"Dear recipient,

Please write the following set of equations onto a sheet of paper, and also memorize them. Please be precise.

2s + t + 3 = 14
2s - t + 5 = 2

The solution to those equations is 7 for t, 2 for s. However, about 15 minutes into the lecture, you will find that they have adjusted so that t is 6, and about 5 more minutes later, to t as 5. When this happens, I want you to wait three more minutes, then check the paper again. If s at that point is still 2 or if t is lower than 5, tear up the paper and enter the classroom. Otherwise, stay outside and let no-one notice you."

And include as much money as you have. Thanks.


His neighbor nodded, and the next few moments emcompassed a shift in the fabric of time-space ipsum sollicitudin eget lorem aenean dorotus fabun ponyo ponyo

As the universe stabilized again, Slampp sat in his chair with baited breath. Roughly 106 seconds later, his teacher was hit by a sudden heart-attack, ending her life swiftly, and just in time. Slampp closed his eyes in relief.

It had been simple, really. As soon as he had learned that he could strive for a self-consistent leap rather than override-mode, all that had been left was to present the universe with a choice. Get rid of the teacher, or implode in a paradox. Granted, there had been a small chance of ending universal existence, but the self-conserving nature of everything had been a rather safe bet.

With a smile, Slamp J gave his neighbor a thumbs-up.

In the predictable panic that followed, he saw the outlines of a white face distancing themselves from the room’s inner wall. At first he thought she would step out in person, but apparently it was merely an updated version of the same portal Fluttershy had used, its visual presentation matching the pony using it.

“Oh, hi.”

Rarity raised an eyebrow. Given that he was in a good mood due to the recent success, Slamp quickly decided to do the smart thing, bowing his head respectfully.

“Good morning, Miss Rarity.”

Now Rarity smiled approvingly, giving a slight nod.

“Morning, is it? Curious, we have early evening, here.” She pivoted her head around, examining larger parts of the room. “I do hope your success hasn’t caused any serious trouble?”

“No, I think we’ll reset the timeline soon, so it won’t matter.”

Rarity nodded again. “Very well. Would you say you are still in need of further assistance?”

“Uhm.” Slamp hesitated, briefly wondering whether there was a right or a wrong answer. “... I guess?”

“Has dear Fluttershy not been helpful? She’s been terribly worried that she might have been too obtuse.”

“Oh, no, she’s been great help. Her riddle was pretty simple, actually.”

“Was it, now?”

Slamp blinked. Rarity’s lips twitched.

“She really is shy to a fault. It is right in her name... names are terribly important, I must say. Why, have you looked at Pinkie Pie?”

“Um... yeah.” Slamp frowned, wondering if there was a point to-

“In any case, I’m afraid I have to excuse myself already. To be quite honest, I do feel a bit uncomfortable in such an evil place.”

“What? But you haven’t given me any clues...”

At that, Rarity gave a smile and a wink, and then she was gone, leaving a confused Slap J behind.

ok. So, I thinking PPS actually helped his newbie friend, breaking our traps, So it is either SA or Pacovf (?). SA is more likely. I'll reread interactions with PPS.

Also, I think I am an IC, catching PPS on this scumslip, am I not?
