Okay. Can’t sit on my vote like this. Between Goldar and Trini, gotta pick Goldar.

He’s been too inconsistent today and can really hurt us later, doubt he’s getting NK’ed after this mess unless he claims or something.

Trini interacted with quite a bit today, considering my points and proding me. Not really town reading her, but she’s (he? them?) is more valuable to town right now.

VOTE: Goldar

With less than half an hour left, I think I will keep my vote on Finster to avoid adding any last minute confusion, since votes are probably being made as I type this. Posting on mobile is too slow to react in the last minute rush.

It’s not too late friends we could still go for finster!!

To be honest, I also can't really remember the basis for the votes against Trini (other than defensive plays by people who were also under vote pressure). I don't really have much time to go back and double check.

On the other hand, Goldar's apparent failed attempts to make last minute vote shenanigans makes me lean stronger that he is suspicious, for the official record.

But if you HAD to vote between Goldar and Trini who would you pick?

If Goldar flips mafia then I am playing this very badly.

Finster is likely not scum. Will hurt town the longer they're around, but not a threat for now.

Black Ranger, are you having fun posting vote counts and waiting for me to post?

I'm here. Goldar isn't a lynch I'm going to protest, but I felt way more confident about Jason, Goldar feels like he came into the game trying to hit the ground running and ended up stumbling.

You know what... this is your best post to me all day.

The main people I think to look at are:

Red: Something about him is really making me lean scum. I'd suggest rereading him next day

Zack: One of the two who moved off blue when suggested that there is scum on that train. But the way he moved has me interested:

Maybe.

Maybe they're bussing ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Still, no harm in pressuring the one player who seems the most uncomfortable with pressure.

VOTE: Finster

Trini: again one of the two who moved off blue. Latest posts recently has me unsure though but one to look at.

@Billy just for inactivity after getting 11 posts.

Most others I'm not too sure on though I'm reading Rita and Zordon as Town right now. But we'll see how D2 is.

Doesn't change how it's suspicious doing it right after someone said there is probably scum on that change. But with the way you did it, makes me think you and blue might be team mates. If you get lynched and flip scum though, blue would be top of my scum reads.

The semi-complete team of Rangers sprung into action as Rita’s monster attacked an unsuspecting Angel Grove! At the helm is Pedro as the Red Ranger, followed by Hecht as the Blue Ranger, Grizzly as the Black Ranger, and RetroMG as the Yellow Ranger! However, due to lacking a Pink Ranger they do not have access to their strongest abilities and powers…

And no, I don’t mean something cheesy like ‘friendship’ or ‘teamwork’. The Megazord itself is outside of their grasp with a missing member of the Rangers! Not to mentioned the combined might of the Power Blaster!

Still, this has not deterred the MafiEra Rangers as they come face-to-face with Rita’s monster: a repulsive, vile creature made up of moving pictures and pages upon pages of silly jokes, meta call backs, and hilarious puns. The creatures vile tentacles lash about as it catches unsuspecting civilians all while chattering away the most horrid and inhuman of phrases.

“With a heavy thud, a metal curtain slammed behind them, barricading the makeshift entrance. The message on the walls shone even brighter.” The monster screamed as one of its’ tentacles wrapped around an innocent bystander. “ “Don’t drink the punch” “ And with a maniacal laugh the civilian disappeared in a flash of light, their face reappearing on one of the many sheets of paper that made up the monsters form.

“Hold it right there!” Pedro the Red Ranger proclaimed as he ran into frame and pointed a menacing finger at the creature. “These people are innocent, leave them alone and pick on someone your own size!”

The creature spun around and grinned, it’s sharp paper teeth lined in red ink.“A-ha! I was expecting you, Rangers! I am the Ghost of Flavors Past, built from your nightmares and brought to life out of your history! You stand no chance against me!! Now to show you but a fraction of the power I wield!!”

The Ghost of Flavors Past lashed out with its tentacles, wrapping themselves around Grizzly and RetroMG with lightning speed and swatting away Hecht and Pedro like they were but leaves. Crackling electric energy shot down the monsters form as it waved the two helpless Rangers high above, laughing maniacally as it did.

“It was early morning when our protagonist awoke. It was another glorious day in his wonderful empire and lil jimmy fuccboi hypebeast was awaking and getting ready for school. However, each new day presented our hero with the same problem. Which sneakers should he wear today to flex on his friends?” The creature slammed Grizzly and RetroMG on the ground, their smoking forms trying and failing to stand up. They weakly looked at each other and, although the helmets obscured their faces, they knew the other was terrified. How were they going to defeat a monster that had access to the entire flavorful history of MafiEra?

Pedro and Hecht were undeterred however as both pulled out their Dino Blasters and fired upon the monster in a somehow choreographed show of teamwork. The Ghost of Flavors Past turned and laughed, barely hurt by the meager attack, “Is that all?! You Rangers are nothing! Now have some of this!”

“The thrum rose steadily, a low-pitched whine the students felt in their legs, their spines, in their fingertips. Clouds rolled in, swallowing the bright California sky. That sound, like bones cracking, like the world tearing in two, louder now, so loud it hurt. Students dropped their bags, pressing hands to ears. “ Screamed the monster as it lashed out and grabbed hold of Pedro and Hecht, shocking them with the same ability that took down RetroMG and Grizzly. He dropped their forms to the ground, a grin plastered on its’ text-covered face as the two Rangers struggled to rise.

“You know how it is. Just another Tuesday in Sunnydale.”

--

How are the Rangers going to defeat the Ghost of their past? What other game will this vile monster pull flavor from? Have Zordon and Alpha found another Ranger!? Found out next week on Mighty Morphin Power Rangers!

….

Oh, and I guess Goldar died too. Why is that not connected to the story above? And how come we are low on Rangers despite having 7 in this game?

Because Flavor is just Flavor, dummies.

The only good kind of melon

As the Rangers struggle to defeat Ghost of Flavors Past, back on the Moon there seems to be chaos reigning over Rita’s Castle! Though she is winning through the work of Finster’s talents, her General and personal bodyguard Goldar has gone missing! In a fit of rage she screamed at her minions, namely Finster, Squatt, and Baboo, to go and find that bumbling idiot inside the castle!


Squatt and Baboo shuffled off together, mumbling and groaning about being yelled at again and how tiring it was after 10,000 years of it in a confined space. Though, at least here it didn’t echo. Finster ignored them and simply sighed, shuffling off down a different corridor and away from those two idiots. He felt he could be spending his time better and much more efficiently by helping his mistress plan more monsters to help take over Earth. Yet here he was, doing menial work fit for Putties like looking for Goldar of all monsters.


‘Oh well,” He thought musingly as he shuffled down another long corridor, “At least those other Monsters are ready to go whenever the Mistress requires them…”


Coming to the end of a hallway, Finster stopped and looked around, seeing no sign of the Golden Warrior. Turning around he froze, a hand lifting to his temple as he scratched it in confusion. Wasn’t there just….a hallway right there?


tumblr_m80iidhQcA1r9g6i8o3_400.gif



Searching the walls for hidden panels, switches, or doorknobs lead to nothing concrete. The way back had been mysteriously sealed off and now he was somehow trapped in this tiny room void of any exit. Finster tried shouting, first for a Putty, then for Goldar, and finally for his Mistress Rita. But...there was no response.


Was this what happened to Goldar? What exactly was this that was controlling the castle only Rita Repulsa herself could manipulate? There was no way it could be the Rangers doing, Zordon lacked that kind of power to wield….


And without him there to guide his Mistress in ways of logical and to calm her temper to think clearly...there was no way they were going to find him. He was trapped, even though he had just escaped from a prison cell after 10,000 years.


“Ah...what irony..”


Finster has been killed!

I didn't expect Finster to die. They had some attention on them so it would have been better to keep them alive and push for a lynch. Unless scum saw them as a threat for whatever reason.

That said, A person who's post has struck me as scumish since his initial post

so I'm gonna throw my vote down on them while I consider things

Vote: Red Ranger

Those results sure are are surprising, and I'm even more confused about how Goldar acted in the final day stretch.
 

Green Ranger

As for that vote yesterday, I thought the pile up on Goldar happened way too quickly but dismissed it since he did basically paint a target on his back with his actions. So, it seems reasonable to assume that scum are in on that vote. Well, less of an assumption and more a fact since majority was 10.

The votes that stick out the most to be are

red ranger (Voted Goldar to push more people to 3 votes)
alpha 5 (Didn't want to switch initially because they wanted to avoid a rush of votes. In reality there was 30 minutes left.)
bulk (Justified it as wanting to turbo to 'annoy the mods')

Black Rangers vote sticks out as well but I'd need to reread their posts on Goldar first.

Right now, based on the votes, Red Ranger looks the worst to me. We'll see how the day evolves.

Vote: Red Ranger
 

Black Ranger

you should be more confused by how the votes piled up on goldar

You wanted both Trini and Goldar dead. You aren't confused because you wanted him dead as much as anyone who voted for him.

trini or goldar

i don't care who, both of them need to die now

heck, someone please shoot the other during the night

if you do that, i'll even spare your life* when i take over the world...

(*life sparing is not guaranteed, no refunds if any potential powers are wasted)

You may have had a vote on Trini but you know why the votes piled up on Goldar and to say anyone should be surprised is an interesting observation from you I think.

Zyaaaaaaaaack won’t even pretend that they’re not glad Finster is gone

This happy townie is, however, very perplexed by the NK target of choice.

Surely filthy scum could’ve gone for a more helpful or less suspicious townie instead

yeah, i wanted them both dead

but my vote stayed on trini

i wonder why...

also i said "confused" not "surprised", get it right!

also don't take my quote out of context. its weird that blue ranger is confused by goldar's actions especially in light of a flip. we know goldar's alignment now and there's no reason to be confused by anything. take it as it is.

just a panicked townie

i dunno

maybe your own vote?
Zyaaaaaa finds this throwing-of-shade at the Goldar train very disingenuous

Even I, who disagreed with the Goldar votes, could see where they were coming from

I’m pretty sure you said it yourself that Goldar was being suspicious

its weird that blue ranger is confused by goldar's actions

I wouldn't say it's weird at all. He changed votes randomly very fast while talking about nonexistent tied votes and doing so right before the end of the day (or what he thought was the end of the day) which would have led to people feeling scumish on him in D2 regardless.

So it's perfectly natural to be confused by his actions considering his flip.

Onto rereading the last phase before putting in an initial vote today

Obviously would’ve gone for Finster without hesitating were them alive, but alas

A very bittersweet state of affairs indeed

you're putting the cart before the horse

you have absolute concrete info (the flip)

consider his actions WITH THAT FLIP IN MIND

what do you get? what's there to be confused by?

the flip indicates he was ordinary town, so what naturally explains his actions?

answer: in absence of a power role, he was most likely confused and/or panicked. his vote on trini backs this up. so does his his own post.

you defending blue's (unwarranted) confusion looks REALLY scummy

I only have hindsight on the Goldar votes which may color my perception but I really don’t know how that happened. As much as I hate “scum wouldn’t do x” arguments that just really comes off as frustrated townie but maybe in the moment it seemed scummier.

I wonder if Billy will turn up today for more than an hour of halfhearted play.

I agree that the Red Ranger's vote that pushed things to a 3-way tie is one of the most suspect votes in the final stretch of Day 1. A three-way tie is a pretty advantageous position for scum, since it gives them plenty of opportunity to either nudge the vote in the direction they desire or just let town tip the scales in a new way.

Didn't think about that, probably why I didn't think the vote was suspicious.

Gonna have to keep this in mind as we go through todays day phase.

Not sure what to think about Finster. Can only guess scum thought there was a power there because I agree that there could have been a push for a lynch there I think several of us would have bought today. But it makes me wonder if scum is laying low and worries they can’t push a lynch so is hoping higher posters pick each other off.

Even with the knowledge that he was town, his actions yesterday were incredibly confusing given that when he started vote hopping he wasn't under that much scrutiny. His erratic behavior after votes started piling up is understandable from a panicked townie perspective but the actions beforehand aren't.

Thank you all for the good thoughts on Thursday, I really appreciated it while I was going through some stuff at my job.

It’s alright now,

Now back to the game:

I am shocked at finster dying. I’ve got to reread end of day yesterday though. A quick glance made me think that finster was kinda in the mix for the day 1 lynch/scum read which usually isnt who gets targeted night one.

I don’t want to jump to any conclusions though, my imagination is putting roles/jobs/actions in my head but they all come back to “why finster”?

I agree that the Red Ranger's vote that pushed things to a 3-way tie is one of the most suspect votes in the final stretch of Day 1. A three-way tie is a pretty advantageous position for scum, since it gives them plenty of opportunity to either nudge the vote in the direction they desire or just let town tip the scales in a new way.
So any reason why you didn't want to bring that up yesterday?

I mean you could have discussed it at least, not like I wasn't called out on it when it happened.
 
Even with the knowledge that he was town, his actions yesterday were incredibly confusing given that when he started vote hopping he wasn't under that much scrutiny. His erratic behavior after votes started piling up is understandable from a panicked townie perspective but the actions beforehand aren't.

but you know he's town now

so why bring up how confusing his actions are to begin with?

super suspicious, blue

super DUPER suspicious

Townies don’t know who to vote for. Why is vote hopping inherently suspect?

Billy showing up the second he was tagged is suspect as hell to me, frankly. I can’t wait to see this makeup.

Vote hopping isn't inherently suspect if the person has legitimate reasoning but votes that don't seem to have any reasoning beyond whoever is most suspicious are. Votes need context.

Look at the context, read through those pages.

The quick vote hopping with absolute no reason to. No strong justifications.

Anyone would have been suspect with the posts he made.

That's easy, Finster was at the top of my priority list at the time. I think your vote was made at a time when there was a lot of activity going on, and I was catching up and still processing all of the discussion. At the time, I was still scum-reading the Green Ranger and Finster the most of all.

My comments on how your vote look suspicious are based on me just going back and skimming some of the late-day votes a few minutes ago. Other people did comment on it when it happened, but there was a lot else to comment on during those last few hours.

Hmmm. Wasn’t expecting that flip, but scum doesn’t really need to pick their targets yet. Must have thought he was a PR and just went for it.

I did read them. It was dumb play for sure and I’m not arguing that. But it made such a huge self target that it would have literally been the dumbest scum movement ever. Or the boldest. Therefore probably more likely town.

Doesn’t matter though. I wasn’t here and things can be really different in the moment. I get that.

your day 1 vote on goldar sucked

Okay. Can’t sit on my vote like this. Between Goldar and Trini, gotta pick Goldar.

He’s been too inconsistent today and can really hurt us later, doubt he’s getting NK’ed after this mess unless he claims or something.

Trini interacted with quite a bit today, considering my points and proding me. Not really town reading her, but she’s (he? them?) is more valuable to town right now.

VOTE: Goldar

"more valuable to town"

typical lousy scum excuse to not justify voting on her

I see you're not voting her either.

Trini should have been the day one lynch. (;¬_¬) I'm good with starting right there today, though I think some good points got raised about Red Ranger that I'm going to go look at in the morning.

vote: Trini

I'm still not sure on Trini. Her not being too bothered about getting lynched feels weird. If scum, it's bold "not care so they think you're not scum" scum play. Otherwise, Town.

I'm staying Neutral on her for now. See how things progress today but keeping an eye on her for now.

I'm glad you could focus on Finster while I was orchestrating a three way tie and getting Goldar out of the game.
 
Both wagons sucked. Trini did much more in Day 1 than Goldar, so I picked that. How is that lousy?

your logic was based upon "how valuable are they to town?"

rather then "are they scum?"

that makes it super duper easy to "justify" your vote

but you weren't actually voting with the intent to lynch scum.

because you are scum

...

you scum.

We had Blue Ranger and Jason slowly pile up votes during the day, and the mess starts when Jason votes for Blue.

Rita that Megazord gif has me rolling over here.

vote: Blue Ranger

I trust White ranger and trini, I like their reasoning and think its sound. This is where I stand right now.

Some posters question this vote right off the bat, but it’s Trini that actually changes her vote to him, commenting how fishy the “trust” bit was and how he was lying about his reasoning for voting.

Vote: Jason

Red Ranger is right. Something reeks about his vote for Blue Ranger saying he trusts me and White Ranger.

I think Jason that you were merely trying to save yourself, but you can just save that. Instead you added some weird bit about trust. Like, why do you trust me?

After that there’s shade thrown all around, and then Zordon and Pink Ranger vote for Jason, making it a three-way tie (Finster, Jason and Trini). Things scale down for a bit and then comes Tommy and Kimberly votes on Trini as well.


This is the moment Goldar comes back with some top level trolling and votes for Blue Ranger and some other shenanigans. He quickly becomes a lynch candidate again, since he had some rather old votes from Finster and Black Ranger. Red Ranger and Green Ranger vote for him, which consolidates the wagons and Goldar ends up mislynched.


So, that’s a whole lot of movement in a Day 1 end. Normally we would see the final wagons stabilize way earlier. I’m inclined to believe we had scum on the line and so the team had to intervene, which made EoD such a mess.
