Hello White Lancer, the gifted Sensor. You're a fairly powerful role!

At the end of each day round, assuming someone is lynched, you will be told how many guilty roles participated in the vote.

Unfortunately, your powers aren't absolute. The Godfather and the Aliens will show up as innocent to you, so plan accordingly!

Heh, very interesting. Going from the Cop to the Sensor. I guess this restart doesn't hurt me all that much after all.

Now if only I can avoid getting killed super early. -_-

Honestly if I were you I might start playing under an assumed name or alternate account :P You're too good for your own good!

Unfortunately the town didn't see the wisdom in giving you results. In fact, they seem to have ignored your role almost entirely!

You're too good for your own good!

Bah, I'm not even the best player here. Although I am baffled as to why no members of this @#$% Town suggested killing someone on the first day for Sensor results. Now I'm afraid that if I say something, the Aliens will assume that I am the Sensor...assuming the Mafia don't finish me off tonight. {:/}

The aliens wouldn't be a threat to you though, as they'd want you to use your sensor powers to kill off the mafia thus winning the game for them {:P}

I meant the Mafia -_-

As long as they don't vote me off, getting suspicion thrown on me might actually help me, since it means I'm less likely to get nightkilled. Unless the Mafia also think I'm an Alien. -_-

Just have to hope I'm not too distracted by March Madness to properly take part in this game. {:P}

Eh the town is most likely doomed so I can't blame you :/

Ugh, I hate relying on Sensor results when I know that I'm the Sensor and am likely to be killed. -_-

My problem is that with the Sheriff gone, the Sensor is the most powerful role we have left and the best chance of catching the Mafia, so I feel like we have to use it. But it could all be a waste if I die before I can reveal any results (wish they had voted someone out last round). Maybe if I push the Sensor angle and act like I know I'm going to die tonight (which doesn't seem like an unreasonable assumption), they'll think that I couldn't be the Sensor since this strategy would be a waste if I was.

I've been so torn with this, because part of me is thinking, "if I mention the Sensor, the Mafia will see that and assume I'm the Sensor!" But then there's another part of me that's like, "the Mafia will expect me to mention the Sensor cause I always talk about roles, so if I don't mention it the Mafia will assume I'm the Sensor!" Sigh...this is why I often prefer Townie roles--it's a lot less pressure and I can usually play the role of the strategist and get myself killed in place of a power role. {:P} Doesn't help that Redack died and put even more pressure on me. {>:(}

Chief voting for me = good, as long as it doesn't get me lynched. As long as there are people who suspect me, I become less of a target.

When we discussed the balance of this game, I never imagined the town would be under powered with three investigative roles :P

You really needed a doctor.

I suppose giving them one result, even if its a broad result, can only help.

I'm not so sure we're really all that underpowered. We do have a massive numerical advantage at this point in time (having the enemies split helps).

We may be in trouble if I go down tonight, but that won't be a problem with the balance of the game. That'll be more straight-up rotten luck (losing our two most powerful roles in a row). If, by some miracle, I manage to survive and get a little bit of information, we could be okay. If I survived for longer and got several days' worth of information, the Mafia (or at least the three non-Godfather Mafia) would be screwed. The Sensor's like that--the information starts off not very useful, but it snowballs the more you get (which is why they SHOULD HAVE VOTED SOMEONE OFF YESTERDAY {>:(}).

Incoming sensor results ;)

Of the 4 that voted to lynch Xhin:

White Lancer
Helius
Speed Bike Pro
Hindenburg

1 is Guilty

Not much of a result, but it's something.

March 25, 2013
Count Dooku

Ooh, one out of three is not a bad result...now I have to decide if I want to hint at the result, come out outright, or just stay completely quiet on it. And we definitely got lucky with Xhin being an Alien--I figured there was a halfway decent chance of him being anti-Town (43% by my math), but there was absolutely no way of being sure so I can't take credit for it.

March 26, 2013

Of course, the Mafia could just kill me tonight and remove the decision from my hands. Nothing I can do about that.

If Xhin ends up being the Sensor, you'll all end up feeling pretty stupid.

Heh. And how stupid will you feel, Trever, once you know that the person you're most suspicious of was the Sensor?

I didn't realize how suspicious people got of me at the end of last round. That probably makes it more likely that I'll survive the night--a plus for the Town as long as I can avoid getting voted off. Xhin being an Alien probably helps with that. {:P}

Wow...chief's thread in the Mod forum really makes him look like an Alien. I hate using things like that for evidence, but it's hard to un-see.
