Open 647: Diffusion of Power (Game Over)

[Ranger]

Scum don't HAVE to be on every single lynch fwiw

Yes but scum are generally on it all the same.
This is kind of a thing that is well known.
You know.

Like.
People number-crunch it all the time.

No you're towntelling because you're good scum.

Uh-huh.
Your experience with me says otherwise.

You escaped rope in C-14 because you're good.

I escaped rope in C-14

by powerbussing

.

I'm super aggressive because you're nearly conf scum given the situation and because you're REALLY good.

Now this fallacy is known as Burden of Proficiency! Funny, almost like we're in Road to Rome with how many we namedrop, though this one has a tint of Appeal to Fear, in this case, "Ranger is a good scum player! Lynch her now before she can sway you!"

That's quite literally your argument.

Unfortunately for you, the person you have most in your pocket, Murdercat? Is the one person who most realizes how BS that statement is, because they know my scumgame's not nearly as good as you're trying to paint it.
Sure, karnos and Chip Butty might buy it, but karnos is already voting me and Chip Butty's (A) not around right now, and (B) cautious with his vote anyway, sooooooooooooooooooo...

...You're not getting your speedlynch.

Guess that means, after I get a decent night's sleep, there will plenty of time to analyze!

[Persivul]

But if you guys are scum I'll feel bad about myself. My goal isn't actually to win games it's to avoid looking stupid

It's just a game, with people you don't even really know. Who cares?

I've read Ranger's posts. Nothing has changed. She's doing what I would expect scum!Ranger to do.

[karnos]

I'm feeling good about a Ranger lynch now. Her defenses remind me of Stack the Deck Ranger, scum. That game had a lot of the same sort of dueling-town wagons, where scum were fine with not hammering because they knew eventually a townie was getting lynched either way.

The fact that Chip stepped in and didn't hammer pretty much confirms that we can't be in a scenario where Ranger is town and Chip is scum.

[MURDERCAT]

I just skimmed but nothing ranger said convinced me. I'm going to read closely later though, it's only fair.

[karnos]

Should be able to read up in a few hours...

12 hours later...

Chip, come back to us! If you are town, we need you paying attention here, this is LYLO.

If you are scum.... it would be a lot more fun to play against active scum, rather than giving-up scum.

[Transcend]

Ye ok this is scum. I think.

[Transcend]

Yeah okay i read chips iso. He was inconsistent in his reads.

[Persivul]

Murdercat isn't an accurate name. Timidpussy would be better...

[Transcend]

Lmfao, damn.

[MURDERCAT]

I haven't even really read the last 4 pages

[Chip Butty]

Should be able to read up in a few hours...

Yeah, I'm back. Was thinking of replacing out, but I think I should be able to be around now. Doing my re-read now...

[Chip Butty]

Ok, let's do this. Ranger looks like Stack The Deck scum!Ranger LOL

VOTE: RANGER

[karnos]

So the big question on my mind right now... (assume a scum flip)

Is this Chip going for the bus, since the lynch is inevitable, or is this actually town Chip, and Murdercat is scum among a crazy gambit scum Ranger?

Probably just scum Chip, that makes a lot more sense, but I want to consider both possibilities, and might as well throw it out before I get killed tonight.

[Transcend]

i really doubt that was a blitz

like he had so much time before hand.

MC's reluctance to hammer Ranger was a bit alarming but he's been obvtown. It should be Chip here.

[MURDERCAT]

If I were scum I'd have bussed ranger in a heart beat lol. This should be a scum flip though unless Trans and Pers are scum. That reasoning was super weak by chip btw

[MURDERCAT]

And you have not said lol I win so ok we are good. Flip chip tomorrow, there's a good chance I'll die tonight because I'm doc. I'm not going to say who I'm targeting.

[Persivul]

That makes Chip look a little better...but only a little. Looks more like a bus seeing the lynch was inevitable. No reasoning given. Still like Chip for tomorrow assuming we get a tomorrow.

MURDERCAT,

Town Doc

, has been endgamed.
Persivul,

[davesaz]

Mafia, ok to release PT?

Pretty quiet in the dead thread.

[SirCakez]

Fine with mafia chat being released

[karnos]

Sure, release the TOPIC!

Well played everyone. I think a key aspect was lack of any cop investigations on the scum team, a guilty and it would have all fallen apart.
