Open 459: There is a New Scum in Town. Game Over Town Wins!

[pirate mollie]

lol, kiss

k

iss majiffy I see what you are doing but I am not understanding the reason as to WHY you are doing it. I really can't determine the motivations

o

f you posts at this point. you kind of look like

a

nutter even though I tend to see you through

r

ose-coloured glasses.

[Breakfast]

Nobody Special, did you expect your fake daykill thing was actually going to get a reaction?

Of course I did, that's why I did it. And it worked, huh?

Clarification: Did you expect as extreme a reaction as Pirate Mollie's, as in, someone actually taking your daykills seriously? Because that seems unlikely in an open game, and it looked to me like you were doing it as a joke.

Breakfast is scummier than Kmd -- pretty much for 116 and 169. 116 parrots a dubious accusation from Majiffy to hop on Aether, and 169 gives the impression that there's nothing Aether could've said that would have let him off the hook.

Explain how 169 gives you that impression.

[borkjerfkin]

Because he was candid and it's a plausible explanation. What were you looking for?

I did it to see who was paying attention. It wasn't a joke.

[borkjerfkin]

What did you get from Mollie's reaction?

[uctriton00]

So..

I'm scum for having a strong scum read on someone you somehow know to be town?

I don't like your phrasing. "Well he's gotta die now", that's scummy.

[uctriton00]

*gotta die now, if not today then any other day. Like you're buying a free LYLO kill.

tbh you are going tohave to unpack this for me cos I did not get that what from he said at all.

UNVOTE: kmd

[Kmd4390]

Uct, scum dying is a good thing.

[uctriton00]

I don't see Fizz as scum by the way he's posted/acted in the second half of his ISO. Do you still feel like Fizz is scum? If not, how would you think a newbie town would play it?

[Kmd4390]

Yes he is still scum. See where my vote is?

I can't say for sure how he would play as town. This is my first game with him.

BAYBAAAAY!

I compare you to a kiss from a rose on the gray!

OOOOOOOH!

The more I get of you,
The stranger it feels, yeah!
And now that your rose is in bloom,
A light hits the gloom on the gray.

[Majiffy]

Ok back to normal posting.

VOTE: KMD
Scum is still scum.

[Majiffy]

Also that was much more awkward and hard to do than I expected.

[Kmd4390]

Majiffy, not every newbie plays the same.

So what was the italics thing?

[Lastsurvivor]

Why do you think it's a good thing to hold out your list of reads?

I don't have good enough reads on everyone to make it worth posting.

I don't see Fizz as scum by the way he's posted/acted in the second half of his ISO.

How so? In the second half of his ISO he bickers with Aether about how he wasn't OMGUSing.

#119 is not a defense of Fizz, it is an indictment of Kmd, who I think has gotten better since I made that post. Fizz hasn't done anything since except avoid the thread and the little bit of IIoA in #160.

Oh, I buy that #119 is an indictment of Kmd. I'm not sure I buy that it's not a defense of Fizz. Let's look at the post:

All this crap against Fizz is super unreliable for someone in their first game and Kmd is trying to gloss over that.

Looks like you're defending Fizzy based on the fact that he's a newbie. Am I wrong?

[Breakfast]

I did it to see who was paying attention. It wasn't a joke.

Paying attention to what, specifically?

[Breakfast]

Because he was candid and it's a plausible explanation. What were you looking for?

His answer was "For fun because I have nothing better to do." That's not candid, that's him trying to get out of answering the question. For comparison, here's what Declan posted around that time:

I also think its foolish to think that reading the role descriptions is scummy. I just completed a game where the mod screwed up one of the role PMs and we had to live with the way it was written for that game, even tho its not how the role is typically used. The guy who caught the error was the town doc, and it was not his role that was messed up.

I would call that closer to what I was looking for.

[Nobody Special]

I did it to see who was paying attention. It wasn't a joke.

Paying attention to what, specifically?

The game, the setup, events in general.

[the director]

ALRIGHTY. Finally caught up. I hope you all have had an enjoyable week, I should be much more active moving forward. By the way I found this freaking hilarious: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ . I'm laughing my ass off.

Why did you confirm out of thread?

Breakfast, explain the significance of your questions in #16 and #203.

16 - Was wondering if they were feeling too self-aware of their behavior to confirm publicly - i.e. Will it look suspicious if I confirm too early/too late/immediately before/after my scum buddy

203 - I have a potential followup pending a response.

UNVOTE: VOTE: Breakfast

When the game was about to start the idea that scum might be concerned about confirming via PM or in-game. In that way, a scum would be

more

likely to confirm in-game rather than via PM.

This reeks of manipulation. His posting is basically a prototypical scum skipping his way through the game, sorta popping in, asking a few questions or making a comment or two, and then going back underground. He needs some serious heat.

Director, so I am scum for my early game playstyle?

Not all by itself it isn't. You actually come off as a bit of a boy scout, actually.

[the director]

Utc would also suffice as a D1 lynch. Reading his ISO made it clear he is a scum trying to be a "lol im town", but this is just laughably bad:

I've played with Mala before,

he knows wtf he's doing in this game. I have him as town.

Uct: she, she.. Not he..

If you truly have played with "him" before then you would know "he" conciously makes sure to make it known "he" is actually a "female" and wouldn't make that mistake. Of course, your comment on her had nothing to do with the fact she is one of the more obvtown players in the game.

[Majiffy]

Majiffy, not every newbie plays the same.

So what was the italics thing?

I was trying to sneak the first verse of Kiss From A Rose into my posts so I could break out into sing-song for the chorus. It was more awkward than I expected

And I realize that, but you still dodged the nature of the question. Please go back and address it.

By the way I found this freaking hilarious: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ . I'm laughing my ass off.

My song was better. Also Breakfast's RVS post isn't meriting of a vote. And that UTC point is just god awful no matter how you look at it.

Follow the flow-chart brosief. Vote KMD.

[Kmd4390]

Skimmed this page for now (I'll read it in full when I'm not at work and have more time).

Director, I have no idea what your boy scout comment is supposed to mean.

Majiffy, the question is how newbtown plays. I don't have an answer for that because everyone plays the game differently.
