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

[borkjerfkin]

Yeah, it's possible WIFOM. I concede that.

[borkjerfkin]

In a game I played on a different site, she was the GM. In that game I was scum and made an analysis on how many scums there would usually be in a fair game. My analysis predicts that, given the premise that neither faculty has any power abilities, a fair game would consist of a scum faculty of the size of square root N where N is the total amount of players. We were in a 20 player game, so I predicted 4 to 5 scum players (I could have been biased in my analysis because I was scum and knew the answer, but the fact of the matter is that the math is correct). You also have to take into account abilities, but rarely does GM's give only one faculty strong abilities.

mollie told me in a private message that she thought the ratio would be like 1:3 or 1:4 ish normally (as far as I recall), except if she was scum, then it would be 1:6. I think that's what she is referring to in her post, and I certainly don't think we can rule out the possibility that she considered it a possibility with an additional scum.

This isn't really what I mean. I mean, I know exactly how many scum are in this game. I'm sure you do too. Is it feasible at this point in the game that she really doesn't?

There are two possibilities:
Her being scum, in which case she does know and hence will be pretending not to know.
Her being town, in which case she does not know.

I think both of these are feasible. We had nighttime for 3-4 days, then a day that ended within 24 hours, then nighttime for 3-4 days again. That's a long time to remember what went on in the game, how the setup was and so on - perhaps especially if you're the GM of a different game. This goes for both alignments. I really don't know.

[borkjerfkin]

That's fine and an acceptable answer.

VOTE: penguin

I really don't think buldermar is scum.

In case game isn't over, I'm keeping the rest of my reads close to my chest until tomorrow and I'd encourage others to do the same. The popcorn method does not benefit from public read lists and all it does is give scum a road map concerning who to kill.

[Kmd4390]

unvote

I agree with bork. Buld broke site rules and I have a town read now as a result...

*sigh*

I think bork also becomes a town read due to his reaction to it.

This changes things quite a bit. I need to think...

[borkjerfkin]

I'm pretty sure I hammered

[Kmd4390]

Yeah but we can't keep up the popcorn thing now. Penguin wanted buld who is town because he pointed out that he "doesn't lose" sig bets and is willing to stake that perfect record in this game........

[Nobody Special]

I am going to lobby the Mod for a Modkill. It's bad enough that he broke a site-wide rule

in the first place

but then he spent forty-some fucking posts

arguing about it.

I don't give two shits who you are or where you come from, when you're told that you've broken a site rule, you don't defend yourself and go on and on and on and on about how it should be allowed for you. You aren't a special fucking snowflake.

[borkjerfkin]

dude no

There is no need. I'll replace out if need be. I wasn't aware of the site rule on this matter and also said that I'd avoid making sig bets in the future - I didn't do this deliberately to piss off anyone or break any rules, and I thought we already reached consensus that it should be talked about post-game instead.

If you still want to modkill me, I wont be holding it against you.

That being said: if you continue to insult me or lecture me on proper moral and ethics in this manner, I'll begin responding accordingly. Me having accidentally broken a site rule does not entitle you to attack my person, which you did both implicitly and explicitly.

[Maenara]

Boys

.

Sorry, I just like saying that. I imagine myself as McGonagall, even if I'm not the biggest fan of the series, and I don't know if she's actually ever said that in a stern, iron-fisted matron-like voice.

Anyhow.

The mod probably knows about it by now. If you think she doesn't, PM her. Again, probably. For now, il y a this here game, non?

We're popcorning. We're doing this because we can afford it. By all means, if we're in LyLo or MyLo, let's stop. But we're not, yet. At the moment, I say we continue this here game, and not solely because I really don't want to read Penguin's posts when it comes to deciding who's scum.

[RachMarie]

Locking the thread til I sort all this out.

[RachMarie]

Be patient, I have posted to the list mod for some clarification.

[RachMarie]

Found a mod to look this game over and get advice on how to proceed.


First of all, I want to state that it is important to read the site rules as well as any mod specific rules to help prevent situations like this. Luckily in this situation, Mollie did not take Buldermar up on the offer or this would be a more sticky situation than it already is. So here goes


Vote Count 5.3 FINAL


penguin_alien (4) Buldemar, Maenara, Nobody Special, Borkjerfkin (LYNCH)

Buldermar (2) penguin_alien, Pirate Mollie



Not Voting
Kmd4390



With 7 it takes 4 to lynch

Deadline is in (expired on 2013-02-06 03:33:59)

Flavor and flip and what I am doing with Buldermar next post.

[RachMarie]

At first it seemed like the town was going to follow Nacho's last request. Then a few of them rebelled and major arguing ensued. Buldermar tried to push Mollie into a vote with questionable tactics, NS objected strenuously that Buldermar was out of order. It looked like it was going to end in a stalemate and no one would be voted as the lynch of the day. Finally, Bork ended the stalemate and said Penguin must die. As they rounded up and put the noose on Penguin's neck, she said well I gave it a good try, and Mayor--try not to be too hard on Buldermar. As she breathed her last, a shimmer of glamor dropped which revealed she was the last scum...




penguin_alien

Mafia Goon

A big Kudos to penguin for doing so well under such odds. Also for her graciousness while I was trying to make a decision on this game, which is why I included her in the flavor like I did.
