I purposely changed the exact wording of the quote so I would not break the rule. I did not copy paste.

Then why did you say that it contains those exact words?

[Glooble]

My role contains the words "your alignment may become Gatewatch if certain criteria are met".

Can we get a modkill?

3. Direct or verbatim quoting of mod-provided information is strictly forbidden. Paraphrasing is okay. If you are not sure about your paraphrase, ask the mod first.

Datswan did not violate rule #3.

because I typed it up, realized what I was doing while I was speed typing, and then went back and changed words that hold absolutely zero bearing to anyone strictly so that I would not break the rule.

also obviously MODs have a certain amount of understanding when it comes to quoting from your Role PM. If they didn't half the field every game would get mod killed in like every game I have played when it came time for someone to claim.

[Swowl]

that was directed at the game, not at you Glooble. Mis-Quote, sorry.

[faust]

Ah, so Swan was lying. Well I personally think that fabricated quotes should be subject to the same rules as real ones - because because this way we get confirmation that this was a lie.

Vote: DatSwan

[faust]

Of course Swan conveniently "changed the words" to exactly match the OP:

There are a handful of players in this game whose win conditions can change if certain conditions are met. However if this is a possibility for you, you will be told about it at the beginning of the game.

[jotheonah]

faust you're being reductive.

Swan, you would say anything right now to not get lynched. But as the flavor guy ... this works. In the story, Lilliana is on Bolas's team at the beginning of the War of the Spark, but then switches sides at a pivotal moment and is instrumental in his defeat. I think. I'm actually a little fuzzy on the specifics.

[jotheonah]

and... that was the hammer wasn't it.

Swan is not lying. and the rule literally says "verbatim quoting". By changing one letter of one word, it is no longer "verbatim quoting"

[Swowl]

meh. well I guess it doesn't matter what I think anymore as I don't care who wins lol. Everything I said was true.

1. I think it's pretty clear what the spirit of the rule is.
2. The rule even says "direct or verbatim quoting". I'd argue that it would still be a direct quote.

dude - I cleared it with Glooble.
It's ok, to each there own, and you were voting me for other reasons anyways. Not something I have a desire to argue about. I take your point, but in this game Glooble gets final say and they said it was ok.

[faust]

Regardless of whether you're telling the truth or not, I still want to say that there is a good reason to have that rule, and that it shouldn't be taken lightly. But that's a discussion we can have after the game.

for sure - and I do get your point. You'll be able to read the QT after the game. I assume it will make more sense then.

[Swowl]

welp - good luck everyone! was super fun set up, wish I was around longer.

Thanks for the game Glooble.

[jotheonah]

I guess yelling at Awaclus for quickhammering is an inherently futile effort, but geez. We had 3.5 hours to talk about that claim.

Day 2 Final Vote Count

DatSwan (6): Galzria, raerae, EFHW, gkrieg, faust, Awaclus
Jimmmmmmm (3): UncleEurope, DatSwan, shraeye
shraeye (3): jotheonah, LaLight, Jimmmmmmmm

With 12 alive, it took 6 to lynch. Twilight begins now and will last between two and three hours depending on Newton/ Cambridge traffic.

Faust, I would love to have this conversation with you once the game ends and you can see DatSwan's pm.

[jotheonah]

I don't think there is any townie justification for cutting the day short like that when there was new information and so many people who hadn't weighed in on it.

[faust]

I would have done the exact same thing if I was town in Awaclus's position.

[Awaclus]

Which is why it was good to hammer him while I had a chance.

[jotheonah]

Why tho? Where is the harm in taking some time to evaluate a claim? I had information about the flavor that made me more inclined to believe Swan. I didn't have time to share it.

Do you both think you're so much smarter than everyone else that you get to make this decision unilaterally? I think that is blatantly anti-town play. I also know we won't punish you for it tomorrow just like we didn't punish shraeye today for his scummy quickhammer yesterday.

I know the whole "get a claim, lynch someone else" thing is a played-out bummer of a meta, but this meta is not better. This is a role madness game. Everyone is going to have a claim. I think we should make a policy of hearing them out before we lynch someone.

[Awaclus]

Do you both think you're so much smarter than everyone else that you get to make this decision unilaterally?

I think I'm more likely to be town than everyone else.

Oddly, I do not agree.
