Votecount would be lovely.

Also, I can ask during the Day, so I was hoping to get it done today if people need/want any information I might be able to get. Looks like general consensus is to ask what/how many antiTown factions there are. Does anyone have better suggestions? Also, I would recommend either Vig or Lynch one out of Bitmap/Lurker at some point, since one is living up to his name and there's definitely Scum somewhere among them.

Then, if you hit the Miller, 1 antiTown down 1 Scum to go after that. Reading over reasons for Nacho wagon now...

The point is, we all know that Trollie is scummy scum, even if he's not admitting it, so we don't need to lynch him right now. Chk has no reason to lie as town, so either he or Nacho is scum. If we have a vig shoot Trollie, and we lynch Nacho, we've got a 50% to be rid of 3 scum by the time day 3 starts.

I dislike this now too. First of all, the "even if he's not admitting it" is incredibly forced language. Moreover, she criticizes NC for calling me scum, but no one else, even though a lot of ppl have just been copying that sentiment (even herself below):
Maenara wrote:Trollie is scum, and will stay that way, as has been said forever. But he can be lynched tomorrow. If Nacho is scum, which he probably is, unless Chk has a meta as lyncher (Does he?), then the last of scum is probably to be found amongst the people who haven't said much - Venmar is just about confirmed by the way Trollie is focusing on him, and nobody else, amongst those who have said anything, seems even remotely scummy.

VOTE: Nachomamma


Also, I tunnel as town. Deal with it.
"scum, scum, scum" went TheTrollie!

By having fuck all to work with? I just about never say 'nuff in my games, which I'm trying to fix, but I can't find much to do but stating the obvious. Trollie is scum, yay. Nacho or Chk are scum with 95% probability, yay. Just about everyone who's actually bothered to say something looks like town, so the rest must be amongst the lurkers, yay. 'twas either this or hunkerering down until I get prodded, which, frankly, I did enough in my last game.

You just stated that in order to look the town part you'd have to spend more time on your posts

So uhh, I think I should claim the second part of my roleish? I'm the double voter. And I know that if you CC me, you're scum.

It's a conditional double voter ability. Basically, if I reach >= 20 posts within the first 7 pages of each day, I get double voting powers for the rest of the day. This part was inspired due to my activeness in Marathon games and how I love quick and speedy games. And yes, I do have double voter ability today.

I mean, you're right, in a way, but... Well, frack, it's just hard to solve by throwing more time at it, when I don't know what to do with said time, y'know? Both my newbie games were as scum, so the lessons learned there never really applied, and since then, I've been, uh, less than stellar, all in all - Most of my time has been spent looking scummy, and then either chasing the wrong target or spending all my time defending myself. I literally do not see what I should do here: From my PoV, we've got two scum we can reasonably safely lynch, and once we're done with those two, we can
then
start looking at relative tells or whatever the term is. I mean, okay, fair enough, typing this, I realize that I can probably go back and look over Trollie's posts for tells, because we're virtually guaranteed to see him flip scum, and I should probably do the same with Nacho, so I guess I'll actually go do that. But... I don't even know where I was going with this post. I'll just, uh, hit submit and hope it'll be taken as a towntell, which I guess it won't, after I've said this, but seriously fuck this.

...

I'll go re-read Trollie's posts. That should be masochistic enough.

P-EDIT: Also, Nacho is scum because Chk claims to know this. One of them pretty much has to be scum.

The hell? Mehdi is flipped scum so there's no way that Mehdi's push on Bit was townie.

Bit says lurker is scum.
Of all tyrannies,a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

No, fuck. God fucking damnit, I'm getting nightkilled by saying this. Lurker is confirmed town. I'm not actually town but I'm not scum either. I'm a Survivor with a role modifier that I will not disclose.

I have the ability (at any time) to ask 2 questions of the Moderator about the setup of the game, and these questions can't pertain to specific people - they have to be about the overall setup.
I asked how many Millers of any type are in the game - Monkey answered back that there is one.
Flavor was something about me utilizing mechanics to my advantage and sometimes focusing on setups...which I don't entirely agree with when it comes to my personal meta but that's neither here nor there.

What should my second question about the setup be? Obviously it should be something that we can word well to glean as much information and use heavily to our advantage, and I'd prefer it not to be about Lurker/Bitmap, since one of them is confirmed Scum.


THANKS ASSHOLE.

Oh wow, yeah Bitmap is Scum guys. Why you angry Bitmap?
VOTE: Bitmap

MY MOST RECENT PM TO ZHE MOD:
"Exactly how many antiTown or nonTown or independently/self-aligned factions are there in this game's setup?"

I will report back with the answer as soon as I get it, nobody let anybody get to L-1 lest Scum quickhammer and I die without giving an answer to you all.

P-Edit: Oh STFU Bitmap, I've hardbussed my Scum PR partner before on D1, and I did rather well for it.

I ALREADY HAVE MY ANSWER, MONKEY WAS SUPER-FAST.

He says there are only two "antiTown or nonTown or independently/self-aligned factions", so we must have Scum and Bitmap - whatever the fuck Bitmap is. That means that he's probably not a Survivor though, since a single self-aligned player in this game would be amazingly hard-pressed to do anything more than survive the first couple of Days. Perhaps with a single killing team/role it does make a little sense balance-wise, but I think it much more likely Bitmap needs to go. Survivor my ass, and if so, still not Town.
