I've honestly got no idea why that happened, to be honest. It doesn't seem like you guys will believe me either way, though. :/
 
##VOTE:pikaMasterJesi

That slip in addition to how the role itself is really scummy (hiding your vote)
And also the other points brought by bbninjas. The reason I wasn't sure enough before was the issue with the quaking hammer. I guess they really didn't pay attention.
 
Okay, not gonna lie, Jesi's role does look like it could belong to scum. I still think Robin is a better lynch, though.

You didn't give quotes from other games proving Robin change in meta. You don't work on this case or trying to get people to realize he is scum, which I find odd. Especially considering the raising votes on the other case on Jesi.
 
Final Day 5 Vote Count

Robin Aisaga 1 (simsands, )
simsands 0 (Robin Aisaga, )
PikaMasterJesi 3 (Jabberwock, Vracken, bbninjas, scattered mind ) LYNCHED
Ninja Penguin 0

“Guys! It’s Christmas!” a Senator happily shouted at the Senate.
“We know… We need to deal with this Separatist threat first,” one of the more realistic Senators replied. “I don’t see any Separatists stopping for Christmas.”
“Hmm, maybe this could be a tell for who the Separatists are. See who wants to continue this fight now.” Ki Adi Mundi stated cooly. “I mean just look at Bail Antilles. He doesn’t want to stop hunting Separatists, so maybe we should purge his brain?”

“Well it is Christmas… and the conversation seems to be dead so let’s see what he knows!” Bail Organa replied.

PikaMasterJesi has been lynched.
She was
Bail Antilles

Alignment: Republic (Senator)

A rather popular Senator of the Republic, you were one of the 3 closely considered candidates for the position of Chancellor of the Republic. Unfortunately you were trumped at the line, but that hasn't reduced your popular and much loved status with the people of the Republic.

Passive Ability: Favoured
Following the Vote of No Confidence against Chancellor Valorum you were one of the favourites to become Chancellor, though you were trumped by Sheev Palpatine. Your popularity has netted you a large fanbase who often support you. Throughout the game, if you vote ##FOR a Senate Order and the Order is passed, you will receive an Ability for the duration of the following Day Period.

Locked Ability (Day 2): Double Time
During the Day Period that this ability is unlocked your vote will be worth 0.

Locked Ability (Day 3): Double Suspect
During the Day Period that this ability is unlocked you may PM me a player name. That player will have an additional vote placed on them. This vote is anonymous and cannot be changed.

Unlocked Ability (Day 5): Bandwagon Breakdown
During the Day Period that this ability is unlocked your vote will be worth 0. During this Day Period you may vote as normal in your Role PM conversation. Votes placed in this conversation will be worth 1, and will be anonymous.

Win Condition: All anti-Republic aligned players are eliminated.

Moving onto the Senate Orders.

Senate Order
The Senate Order that must be voted on tonight is… Absolutism

Simply PM me if you are ##FOR or ##AGAINST this Senate Order.

The game will take a longer break during Night 5 to account for Christmas celebrations so Night 5 will end on the 29th of December at 10pm.

Merry Christmas again y’all and don’t forget to send in your Night Actions!
 
I notice your subs have been used up, so throw me in there, coach! Only use me if you need to as I have quite a full schedule, though. :p
 
Day 6 Start

Mas Amedda was in his office. One of the only places where he could privately communicate with his Master without prying Senator eyes. Fortunately for the Senate however, Mas had become increasingly questionable about his Master and had decided, once the Separatist’s had attacked, that he would leak information to the Senate about the Senate Orders prior to their release.

Hoping they would give the Republic a chance, he had maintained a strong standing beside his Master and held his trust and support, though the other Senators looked at him as if he were evil…

A knock came at the door.

Only his Master was known to visit at this hour so he wasn’t wary at all.

Opening the door he found himself face to face with 3 Battle Droids.

“For the leaking of important information to the Republic the Separatists have deemed you worthy of death.”

A look of fear swept over Mas Amedda’s face as blaster shots peppered his body killing him instantly.

Jabberwock has been killed. He was:

Mas Amedda

Alignment: Republic (Senator)

The right hand of the Supreme Chancellor, and one of the few who know his darkest secrets. That aside, you've seen the way he uses people as pawns in his grand design, so you've decided to help the Republic you once swore your life to.

Passive Ability: Former Life
Prior to this war you were closely affiliated with the Supreme Chancellor so much so that you were in on all of the inner workings of the Senate. At the end of each Night Period you will receive the details of a Senate Order.

Passive Ability: Trust Issues
Due to your alleged connections with the Trade Federations many assume you are affiliated with the Separatists. Throughout the game if your alignment would be tested it will be revealed as "Separatist".

Win Condition: All anti-Republic aligned players are eliminated.

Senate Order
The Senate Order, Absolutism, has been passed!

Throughout Day 6 no votes may be moved or removed. Unvoting is not allowed!

To Lynch
There are 8 players currently alive, therefore 5 votes are required to lynch.

Day 6 will end on Tuesday, January 3rd at 10:30pm.
 
Hey there! I'll admit, I haven't exactly been paying close attention to the game for a while. So if any one could give me a quick summary that'd be nice.

I did however, notice a couple things that got my attention.
Looking at that claim, I noticed that the 3rd quote (Where she gained her 0 vote weight) and the 8th quote (where she gained her role PM vote) both link to the same thing, which means that claim is a lie.
This is the post where NP pointed out the slip in Jesi's role PM. I don't know about the rest of you, but when I look at claims I only look at the wording/formatting, I don't usually think of looking at the link arrows above the quote. I mean, what are the odds of one just happening to scroll over two of those arrows, notice a tiny little bar with numbers in the corner of the screen, and see that they're the same? NP must've been trying pretty hard to find a slip in that role PM. Imo that's trying a bit too hard.
At this point, the ratio has progressed tot he point where we really can't afford to lose any more townies. We can't lynch on policy at this point, since a mislynch would bring us to LYLO.
I don't see this as a major point because of the size of the game but you can never be sure about the ratio of town to scum, and this post seems like it is.

I generally check for this on every claim, since it's a fairly easy way to catch scum and only takes ~10 minutes. I don't know how searching for a slip is anti-town, especially when Jesi and Robin both had a good chance of getting lynched.

Since then, we've mislynched and had no kills stopped and we're not in LYLO.

I wouldn't say that's a for-sure way to catch a slip, different ways of claiming come natural to different people.

From what I've noticed from past games, Jesi's playstyle tends to make her fairly easy to get lynched, however, pushing on her for that reason can lead to suspicion being cast on the people who are banwagoning. Now, find a slip and that entire notion is gone because you're no longer lynching her mainly because of playstyle.

Also, if Robin was also a lynch candidate like you said, then it would make sense for you to lynch Jesi if he was your scumbuddy.
Since then, we've mislynched and had no kills stopped and we're not in LYLO.
Hmm, well would you look at that. A bit weird if you ask me but that's a good point.
 
I'm going to type this in big letters:
PLAYERS CANNOT UNVOTE DURING THIS DAY PHASE. TAKE CARE WHEN VOTING

Hey there! I'll admit, I haven't exactly been paying close attention to the game for a while. So if any one could give me a quick summary that'd be nice.

Day 1
- Rainyman becomes an immediate wagon since they said they were "rooting for scum". I believe the main reason they didn't get lynched was because people were wanting to give him another chance, especially because he said the same thing in Duck Hunt and flipped town.
- TSM became the second main wagon because he was parking his vote on rainy and calling for a policy lynch. His claim also ended up being pretty scummy. He was lynched and flip town.

Day 2
- Rainy claims to be blocked or something. TGK comes forward with a claim that Rainy is lying about being a Senator, as TGK's Ability returned results of "the only Senator to be targeted was the nightkill."
- However, Blakers mentions that we should "end the game quickly", and so a wagon begins up on him. Lynched in a tie and flips town.

Day 3
- The rainy lynch starts up again, expectedly.
- A case is then made on quaking for possibly playing his scum-meta, being overcautious and having a powerful ability that would likely belong to scum.
- A Robin case is also brought up here, but doesn't really gain momentum.
- Since a Senate Order meant that there was going to be no Night 3, town opted to lynch rainy first, who flipped town.

Day 4
- Quaking lynched gains momentum again.
- A Robin case is made late in the day, as they are reading as "nervous scum"
- Quaking is lynched as he hammers himself (thanks to Jesi putting him into hammering range) and flips scum.

Day 5
- The Robin lynch got brought up again... though I think @simsands should restate the case, since I don't really get it.
- A simsands wagon is also brought up here, mainly for them aggressively pushing for Robin Day 4, when the other lynch was actually a scum.
- A Jesi wagon starts based on a number of backpedals, her defending and other supposed buddying with quaking and a number of other scummy things. Jesi then "slips" in her claim, as two entirely different quotes link to the same conversation quote. Jesi was lynched and flipped town.

I think that's everything important. Also @Reinforce, can you claim please? Robin decided not to claim in case their replacement would be against it, but I think we need more information on you.

I've definitely checked those arrow in claims in past games, though I had completely forgotten about it more recently. :p
 
Some corrections/elaborations/additions to post 675:
Day 1- IIRC, Sceptile never claimed, or really did anything to defend himself. This was a main factor of him being lynched, not a "scummy claim".
Day 2- TGK's result said that the only Jedi to be targeted was the kill, not senator.
The Blakers lynch was driven by him playing both sides and constantly hedging his bets. Ending the game quickly was just one point.
Day 3- The beginning of the day was Scattered and I pressuring Robin (and vice versa) for a variety of reasons, followed by the revival of the Rainy lynch, followed by the Quaking lynch. My lynch was also mentioned, due to me thinking TGK/Rainy was a scum setup.
Day 4- Robin also put Quaking in hammer range, only bb unvoted him before Quaking could self-hammer.

A bit of FoS on bb for these aforementioned inaccuracies and a bit of editorialization.
@Reinforce, can you claim please? Robin decided not to claim in case their replacement would be against it, but I think we need more information on you.
I think we should wait before a claim. We still have plenty of time. @Reinforce I would like to hear your opinion on the game, though.
 
I also don't reallly buy dos' statement. That looks like a slip. It's not just the use of the word IF, but also the "like you said" part.
If you have read about it there is no reason to write that sentence.
