So you're trying to tell us something...

You're trying to tell us that your team rocket statement was good food for a lie-detector test, so you are willing to expose that much to a lie detector, but not your alignment.

Maybe you want us to know that you're team rocket (so human), but you don't want us to know what that means, and what that faction is capable of, i.e. you want to keep it a secret. What are the characters in team rocket, can it give us some insight on who Basil could be, once and for all?

I'm going to be away tomorrow and most of Sunday, I'll be back on Sunday evening. I'm praying for less than 900 posts to read when I get back.

So you are part of a group. Since you offered a poem, you are not town, you are either some kind of monk, or mafia.

or part of another hostile faction, hostile to pokemon that is.

Nothing, really. He did as much as he could. I only need somebody I feel is more suspicious than him, then I'll change my vote to the other person.

As it stands we still have a lot of time, so I'll follow the thread a bit more before I decide.

Okay Basil, I got it. You said you were team rocket, but that was a "joke", aka a lie.

You put it there so that, in case someone had a lie-detector and spent it on you (which they wouldn't but you could think that way), then it would reveal that you were not part of the enemy pokemon trainers. That would lead us to assume you were non-mafia.

BUT, it sure seems to look like there are two mafia families, and the good pokemon trainers would be the group you are a part of.

This sounds right.

*and that only works because you never answered prof's request about being townie. The two together lead me to believe you are pokemon-hostile, from a different faction than team rocket.

Town, you need to know right now that there are two pokemon trainer factions out to get you, and lots of scum out there. Be vigilant and play smart, since you have no privacy please use your deduction senses.

I figured this out by carefully rereading the thread by deduction. There'slots of scum out there so don't be surprised of fake heroes. I can smell a few already.

And please, last thing you do, please do not listen to Prof's strategy of 1st day lynch of a townie if needed. This game will be a lot harder than we suspect, please go for no-lynch as much as possible, let's see who the mafia want to take out, I believe they will fire at each other during the night. Then you'll see that what I'm saying is true.
