I mean, from what I've seen, RVS bandwagoning is fairly common on this site.
So I personally wouldn't consider it scummy, it's just a site meta thing.

Okay sure. But voting for veggie and not for anyone else is still a bit suspicious. I mean why bandwagon? :?

for the lulz. It's RVS. I was able to think of a snarky reason to vote you more easily than I could think of one for anyone else. Also, wrt the bolded, look what reaction I got by voting someone who had already been voted.

With 9 alive, it takes 5 to reach a majority.

Deadline is in (expired on 2019-09-27 09:56:00)


For the sake of firmly defining what counts as a valid vote, I will only be counting votes that are made with "VOTE: username" entirely in vote tags or in bold tags.


Examples:
Vote: Errantparabola

VOTE: Errantparabola

Code: Select all

[b]Vote: Errantparabola[/b]
[vote]Errantparabola[/vote]

Thanks for your insight Airan!

As the person receiving Spam's vote, when I first read their post my gut reaction was "that seems a bit lhf-ish. Maybe they're doing that to try and get information out of everyone"... which is not necessarily a scum move. To me personally, Spam doesn't quite read as scummy... just suspicious.

Interested in hearing what everyone else thinks!

Why not bandwagon? You often get some good information from it and it progesses the game
Why do you find it inherently suspicious?

I thought about this in my first game on here too. I thought it was scummy (it ended up being so for different reasons), but not for meta reasons. Bandwagon RVS on d1 increases pressure and encourages discussion! So for now, let’s not punish someone for bandwagoning this early when there’s nothing to go off of.

Not speaking for Airan here, but just wanted to put my .02 in. Bandwagoning isn't bad and it kick-started the game in this case! But I think that it can be inherently suspicious depending on the order that people decide to jump on the bandwagon. Spam put the second vote in, which (to me) makes them more suspicious than Draynth putting the first vote in. Ofc it's still not a strong indication of Spam being scum though. Just wanted to say that order matters.

Ok thanks for all the replies. This is my first game here, so it’s natural I might find scum where there isn’t any. I just find bandwagons a bit suspicious, because scum might jump upon them quickly to get an innocent lynched. But because the bandwagon was at the start of the game, I am probably being a bit too paranoid.

Yes, and with the fact that a majority requires 5, at this point, you are most certainly being paranoid.
Don’t think anyone tends to get lolhammered in RVS, especially not in the newbie queue.

Oh, sorry. Generally, if a player is at L-1 (one vote away from being lynched, which happens when a majority in votes is reached), people wait for a more-or-less consensus from the general thread, and a roleclaim, and give warning in advance so that the person about to be lynched can share last thoughts if they’re town. Lolhammering means you probably don’t wait for most of that; you go ahead and cast the last vote, known as a hammer.

Generally you’ll find the definitions of terms that seem strange on the wiki.

LHF because that the comment Spam made is one that vegos tend to hear a lot as a provocation. I'm not entirely sure if Spam would have commented the way they did if it wasn't following the previous comment from Draynth "I just ate a vegetarian meal". I feel that Spam may have used the previous comment as context for their reply. Hope I explained that in a way that makes sense?

Ofc though, whether someone is vego or not is completely irrelevant here so nothing was taken seriously and no feelings were trampled on :] I do understand that their comment was most likely made for the purpose of gathering information, irrespective of what their actual opinion on vegetables is! LOL

Did some hunting around the webz and sounds like I've misunderstood the meaning of LHF in the mafia sense. :eek: Apologies for that! In this case I meant LHF in the sense that I felt Spam was using a common provocation to try and get information. Will be sure to use LHF in the mafia sense from now on!

I love that you are being “paranoid”. We all need to dig deep and figure out who the scum is, regardless if sometimes we make a wrong read. If you voice your opinion and your scumread is flawed, people are gonna call you out for it because we all want to win (as long as your accusations aren’t scummy!)
