• Welcome to The Cave of Dragonflies forums, where the smallest bugs live alongside the strongest dragons.

    Guests are not able to post messages or even read certain areas of the forums. Now, that's boring, don't you think? Registration, on the other hand, is simple, completely free of charge, and does not require you to give out any personal information at all. As soon as you register, you can take part in some of the happy fun things at the forums such as posting messages, voting in polls, sending private messages to people and being told that this is where we drink tea and eat cod.

    Of course I'm not forcing you to do anything if you don't want to, but seriously, what have you got to lose? Five seconds of your life?

I'm suspicious but also confused, so I'll not vote for now (plus if she is mafia and is lynched today her buddies could always just revive her in a few nights anyway). I'll do something to check you with a proposal tonight, I guess.

That seems a rather ineffective outlook,
To say that there's no point catching a crook.
Though you've been mostly helpful today,
I must note that it's odd to think that way.

I do not want the phase to end,
On this position I will not bend.
At least, Phantom, you must say,
Before Light goes to end the day,
"My proposal was to inspect last night."
"But I received a fruit, which is not right."
"Do you want to hear an untrue fact?"
"The BST of accelgor is 5, to be exact."
Say those words and nothing more.
That way, when Light buzzes in, we will know the score.

(If someone has a better suggestion,
I would be fine if that went a different direction.
But the basic idea must hold true:
Phantom saying her proposal, with not much else in the way to do.
A lie to draw a sure buzz would be good,
You may supply another, if you would.)
 
Mai, are your rhyming conditions the same as Phantom?

Is it required in return for tempoary immortality, with a free rhyme scheme?

The answer to that is no,
For in fact my conditions aren't so.
I did this of my own free will,
Copying Phantom's rhyming for the thrill.
And I believe Phantom was made by force,
To rhyme today, and follow that course.
My rhymes and meter here are rather lazy,
I don't care about rhythm, as my motivation is hazy.
But if I was rewarded for this, it would be great.
I think I'll make it my proposal. I can't wait.
 
Sorry for just disappearing for the last two weeks. I didn't know you had to pay for cruise wifi, and my parents wouldn't let me buy it.

So apparently someone's made me bodyguard (this counts as claiming, right?). I also have the night action of one. This was under a death threat, so yeah.

Since she has already been online,
Without ever considering these words of mine,
I'll vote Phantom, at least for a time.
It's not like her requirement was to mime.
When you state these words and Light buzzes in, I'll take my vote back,
If the day phase ends before I do, please don't call me a hack.
 
My apologies, my dear friend
Please, do not call for my end.
While I may have been online,
It was on a mobile line.

"My proposal was to inspect last night."
"But I received a fruit, which is not right."
"Do you want to hear an untrue fact?"
"The BST of accelgor is 5, to be exact."

Did you ever think, perchance,
This buzz might be a scum dance?
Make mark on me, a stain?
Otherwise, I say abstain.
 
I would think that this is a quite intricate plan,
For one forwarded by the mafia clan.
Nevertheless, I'll withhold my view,
Until Light buzzes in anew.
 
Well, that's certainly an alarming sound,
In fact, that's more buzzing than should abound,
If it was only your claim and my "fact."
Why did you have to add words with your act?

Now, I'm keeping my vote,
And have one last request to note:
Would you state your innocence, please?
And this, too: "Rocks make excellent cheese."

Again, do not add any words,
Extra statements add confusion in thirds.
 
Er, yeah. Phantom.

"I'm sorry, don't vote me" (no truth value)
"I was on my phone" (unverifiable)
"BST of Accelgor is 5" (lie)
"My proposal was to inspect"
"I received a fruit"
"The lie detector is a scum play"
...and that was four buzzes. I guess the last one maybe affirms blazhy's innocence?

Phantom, you could just post this or something of the sort, with a statement of innocence, a truth, and a lie:
"Cinnamon tastes like cinnamon.
Orange peaches are blue.
I am innocent,
and cows go moo."
If we get one bzzt, you're innocent; if we get two bzzts, you're not; and if we get 3+ or 0 the lie detector is faulty.
 
I think this buzzer is wrong
Been fooling us all along.
There is no way in cold hell
Light would be able to tell
I were on a cell or not
I'm thinking this thing is shot.

"Cinnamon tastes like cinnamon.
Orange peaches are blue.
I am innocent,
and cows go moo."
 
Obviously some of those beeps were from the first stanza and not the last.

Phantom, you're just complicating things further. It's not that hard to put what was requested of you if it were to prove your innocence, something I'm doubting you are.
 
wait a minute
wouldn't there be four beep buzzes if Phantom was mafia?

I think this buzzer is wrong (buzz)
Been fooling us all along.
There is no way in cold hell
Light would be able to tell
I were on a cell or not
I'm thinking this thing is shot. (buzz)

"Cinnamon tastes like cinnamon.
Orange peaches are blue. (buzz)
I am innocent, (buzz)
and cows go moo."

Of course, this is assuming the lie detector detects all false statements, regardless if they're just paraphrased versions of earlier verses. I'm still not going to vote because I'm still suspicious of Phantom.
 
Depending on how things are interpreted, there could have been anywhere from 3 to 5 buzzes on that last one.

Assuming a buzz for the slightest lie,
We have our five as easy as pie.
By this time I think we should all begin to vote,
Info against Phantom is piling up and starting to bloat.
Would we like to take the time before day's end,
To see what other mysteries the lie detector can mend?
This all would depend on Phantom's cooperation,
Which so far has not been the smoothest corroboration.

Phantom, I would like to make it heard,
That you cannot save yourself with another obscuring word.
State what we ask and nothing more,
As your defense has gotten wore.
 
We could use this time to get blanket proofs,
And get a little more security under our roofs.

"I am innocent."
"Wargle is, too."
"Do you believe me?"
"Cows go moo."

"I am innocent."
"___ is, too."
"Do you believe me?"
"Cows go moo."

Replace those names with any one ample,
Our war eagle was just an example.
Of course, it will make it unsure just who is to be feared,
... Though I'm not sure Phantom would want anyone truly cleared.
