Open 809: Charge Me Up! [Over]

[yessiree]

I can't tell if you're serious, but I wasn't

Yeah, really glad you weren't. Cuz I was gonna say you must be smoking some good shit if told me you thought "scum number 2" = second scum in the playerlist

[yessiree]

It has been requested I confirm the playerlist is random. It is in the order of signups as given by the listmod

wait... someone asked if the playerlist is random?

[yessiree]

how can we doing set up spec already?
aaaaaaaagh

it's a phase really, every game goes through this at some point, better to get it out of the way sooner than later

I think the setup is 3 scum 11 town, thats all

[VFP]

Yessiree is on the town list. Not quite on the VFP block but damn close.

@Raya

can you prod the solo names for MiniVirgo?

If this slot doesn't start producing after that, they're going into the scum pile.

you spelled my name right the first try, colour me pleasantly surprised

actually fuck it, you can be town for now

VOTE: yes

for whatever he's doing with Dragons

What about it, can you explain?

sure

it looks like trying to create suspicions over things that are not suspicious or even ai

that it's done to help support/protect DMG also pings

Spoiler: posts

how serious is that vote ^

this is a pretty weird post to drop then just leave

it's weird that i have a life outside of mafiascum?

Well, it sounded like you were trying to initiate convo by phrasing it as an inquiry, and then left them hanging

asking a question and then leaving the site to do ~life stuff~ isn't leaving anyone hanging

merely asking a question

ok but it looked like a serious question, to which she gave a serious answer. So I find it odd you chose to respond to her the way you did instead of just responding to her answer

how is this odd much less ai

[Green Crayons]

I don't like it because Flow trap is definitely not confirmed town, so anyone taking their word for it is bad. That does not really seem like a scum thing to do, so I am not scum reading them for it, but I am pointing out that I don't like it lol

weird. i assume when people say "oh i don't like that player did x" that means they think it's suspicious.

are the other things you point out as not liking also you saying you think that it is just non-ai bad play? or just this one instance.

[Green Crayons]

Dk probably town, but if they're scum then lukewarm is definitely scum

wat

[Green Crayons]

I think the setup is 3 scum 11 town, thats all

is this the first time this setup has been played on the site?

if not, i'm sure someone who is in the pl has an encyclopedia brain and/or played it before to let us know if there has ever been a deviation of total scum/non-town roles

well, I found it odd how STD (...dragons? save?) chose to explain the reason for his lack of followup instead of just following up on dark magician, cause that seemed a bit too self-conscious for a townie

but im mostly satisfied in how he responded to me

no idea, but it is strange for it to be an even number setup (3:11 instead of 3:10 which is much more common imo)

[DkKoba]

huh there's variable scum?

[DkKoba]

no there isn't - alignment was randed before we even got roles - setup explicitly says this.

[flow trap]

3 letters:

A
G
Z

Z is third
Z is always 3rd because that's the order of the alphabet & in order for a letter to be second there need to be something after it

Joke explained

[DkKoba]

i will know with 100% certainty what yessiree's alignment is based on how they are playing now by the end of D1.

[NDMath]

how can we doing set up spec already?
aaaaaaaagh

It's just the alignment ratios, I don't get your complaint?

Yessiree is on the town list. Not quite on the VFP block but damn close.

You scumread them for... not posting?

[Green Crayons]

perhaps we're using different vocabulary because i don't know what this is. i'm asking if prior runs of this game have different amounts of non-town slots, or has it always been the same ratio.

[Green Crayons]

well, I found it odd how STD (...dragons? save?) chose to explain the reason for his lack of followup instead of just following up on dark magician, cause that seemed a bit too self-conscious for a townie

hm.

VOTE: DMG

[VFP]

You scumread them for... not posting?

Yes. If they avoid the game after a prod, it's for a reason. You seem worried here?

[Raya36]

@Raya can you prod the solo names for MiniVirgo?

Prodding MiniVirgo and heads

[MiniVirgo]

Apologies, forgot this game started.
I am currently busy working on my website but when I can I will definitely catch up.

Also if we (Mini and myself) ever post without the end-tag please feel free to ask for clarification who that was, I generally am able to remember even if it's way back.

Before I leave again, I saw these and had strong thoughts. You're simply naive if you ever think that's an effective way to read people, tell me why not posting after a prod is more likely to come from scum than from town. Prods are not always effective, and that means nothing of alignment by itself, especially early-game.

And to add further context as to why it's even worse reading into that for us is that Mini never likes day one in games and I am constantly busy working on my websites that I forget about the games until I make a significant effort into catching up.

---

Also off-topic, if you were unaware Mini and I are together and thus I am constantly poking her to post if she doesn't and vice-versa. Our playstyles are opposing as I am more aggressive and she is more distanced in a sense so she feels like she has nothing to add when I post etc. I am clarifying this now in case it comes up later.

[VFP]

See, my prod request worked.
And I've given Mini a lead to go on.

I'm like a hero to this town.
