Simpsons Game Thread

Okay gib, that Krusty the Clown thing ... didn't Normal come up with that idea at the start of the game .. speculating that irre might be a Krusty the Clown jester role ... ?

hmmm ...

Yes he did. It sounded uncannily like my role PM. That's why i wondered if we were looking at multiple jesters. But then i'd assume the other hypothetical jesters would also have the same posting restrictions as me so maybe Normal was just guessing what the GM would create using simpsons characters. Let's ask Normal.

We just had a busdriver who was a busdriver so that's the most parsimonious theory i can think of right now.

a likely story.

You'll find out soon enough as i'll either get lynched tonight or my story will be accpeted at face value making me ripe for being night killed. Meanwhile we might learn something fom the way people respond.

the flailure of this post noted.

Getting people talking benefits town. You seem to be stuck on one liners so it's hard to get a read on you.

that's fine. i'm not the one who needs to start talking

I think there is a good chance Gib is telling the truth. We have already seen a busdriver in this game. I think its highly probable to have other hidden aspects to this game. Kind of like when mono was the bomb and did't know it in the ST TNG game.
Although he could have been changed to vanilla scm as well. Very easy to change that small part of the role.

If you have some questions i should be about for at least an hour. Why do you think you don't need to start talking? Got anything more than a one liner to offer up big boy are are you too scared off rattling off a reply?

[oblivion]

Okay gib .. I'm swayed a little by your explanations .. certainly more articulate than your "jester" posts .. so benifit of the doubt for now.

If you've now become vanilla town, it's unlikely Scum will NK you.

I'm assuming this will go to one of two extremes - ie if you guys believe me then i would be most cleared. In the game where i was scum and had veteran scum buddies the most cleared town were the big targets unless you could be sure someone was special.

you aren't really most cleared if some people conditionally accept your claim. There will still be some wifom about your role claim no matter what.

I'm not sure what you want me to say
do you want my life story?

[charlou]

What oblivion said .. not cleared .. just benefit of the doubt for now.. which is kinda useful to scum, if you're telling the truth.

I have a question, gib .. it's of incidental interest to me really .. Did you know that if you didn't meet your jester win condition you would revert to town? If so, why did you choose to play the jester role instead of just playing a town game to help and win with town?

[oblivion]

actually, yes you are one of the ones who needs to start talking. Quiet Ani sets off some alarms. It seems to me that the gib distraction is giving you an opportunity to posture, but there's still not much substance. Who else do you think looked scummy after day 1?

I reckon all the roles are relevant to the characters but figure only people with special roles will be sitting there reading this thinking yeh mine definitely does. Best they just stay quiet though.

Pretty obvious that Scum will be named after Fat Tony and the other mafia guys in the simpsons so they all know this is probably the case with the game - ie the characters mean something - so scum will be wacthing this closely.

It's mafia. I know not everyone will believe me but the best we can do with this mess now is to get people talking.

I wonder if scum have safe name claims. Most of Zigmen's games have not been character based. I think I remember seeing safe claims in his Star Trek game a few months ago.

So, who's groundskeeper Willie .. and is he good or evil?

Yes my pm specified that. Sorry thought i had mentioned that already.

The jester role was pitched to me as a rare opportunity. When i googled for ideas on how to win as a day one jester i came up with nothing, so decided this was indeed a rare role.

I asked one guy on TR what he would do and he gave me some ideas on how to look scummy. Trouble is i looked scummy to you guys on previous games on day one so it didn't work.

Basically i had the chance to win the game in one day so i went for that. It was great fun but harder than you'd think.

If i were GM i wouldn't give them safe cards. There are hundreds of simpsons characters, chances are they could choose their own. Would kinda be more fun that way.

Well how about we discuss the game instead of resorting to off topic sarcasm, for a start?

So you don't buy my story, i can accept that. Now make the case against me or talk about something else that's relevant to the game. Seriously man you look so like someone who jumped on a bw a little too early and now only has fluff and bollocks to offer.
