Wow, alot of nonsense over a silly post. I'm gonna take it for what it is and have it be first day anxiety. With that said, coming out and claiming you are a miller is an easy way to avoid detection if a cop were to land on you. But if you think about it, it doesn't really help you until the second round of investigations. I question that move for now, and
FoS Rest

Claiming miller Day 1 is an accepted, no,
encouraged
miller strategy. I don't see anything wrong with the fact that he claimed now, to be honest. I buy the fact that he was unsure during the RVS, at least for now.

I actually hadn't. I understand where he is coming from, considering that if he were to come up as scum on a cop check before he told us that I would not believe him anyhow, but mostly because if he says that now, a cop that investigates him and sees scum might actually be seeing scum.RestFermata wrote: Have you heard that this is standard miller play, dothefandango, or do you just disagree with the practice?

Some people cite some pretty circular logic:
Scum never claim miller because claiming miller always gets them lynched. But if scum never claim miller, why would we lynch them? Yet, if we don't usually lynch claimed millers, why don't scum claim miller? And so on and so forth.
But still, I think it's probably the best idea if you really are a pro-town miller. I don't know if I would even think of doing that D1 as scum.

I still think a better strategy for millers is to not claim unless they think they are likely to be investigated, but I believe BC.
Note- No need to read some of the longer quotes, I just didn't clip them so it was clear what I was referring to.
Really, all you need to read is my own comments.
Also, this was written chronologically (as I read).
Also, this sounds to me like the 'I did this which is considered pro-town, so I look pro-town!'.
And at the same time, my paranoia is telling me this seems like coaching.
Looking on that, he's got one hell of a meta to hide behind as a scum player xP

- roles are random. RANDOM. It's like taking a card out of a deck and then replacing it. No matter how many times you do it, the chance of pulling the Ace of Spades is still 1/52.Kreriov wrote:Well, no offense, but that is not enough. You need to give reasons. It just bugs you really is not enough. Its wishy-washy and an easy out. It is a formless accusation with no substance, the type of thing scum like to use or to seize on. Note I am not calling you scummy or even saying I think you are scum by saying it. If you really do have a problem with it, you need to express it. Hell, I will even help if you could give me an idea of what you didn't like about that sentence. (Other than the mathematical incorrectness of the idea.)BloodCovenent wrote:I just don't like the second sentence. And I was just writing down what was on my mind.Kreriov wrote:Really. Why? Because I am poking fun at Macavity or for some other reason? Just saying it bugs you is not enough.
This seems over-defensive to me. I understand how it'd've been a joke to start, but he seems far too defensive for just one vote.Kreriov wrote:@Reckoner - Huh? Not a random vote. Well, then you are DEFINITELY manufacturing a reason for a vote. There is absolutely nothing scummy in that sentence nor in anything else I have said. Either you have not bothered to read the context leading up to it or you are just trying to stir the pot, hopefully to spur discussion. Are you doing this to start real discussion? If not, it is a scum move and should be seen in that light. Whether you are trying to start discussion or not, I still have to point out you fail to say WHAT logic if faulty, much less why. Using pejorative terms like 'obviously faulty' without support is pure scum. As for putting something in the form of a question, THAT is very townish. Trying to get someone to talk by asking them a question about THEIR action is definitely town! So, as a follow up, why are you trying to misrepresent townish actions as otherwise?
For the record, that is two questions for Reckoner. By my count he has also now commited three scummy actions. (1) He fails to support his position, (2) he tries to make a townish move seem bad, and (3) his entire post is a declarative statement after no analysis whatsoever. Its early though and everyone makes mistakes, so do not jump all over him for it just yet. Let him answer.
Why is this relevant at all?Sajin wrote:Also, I have played with krer 3 times (this makes 4) and have been scum twice. He had me pegged as scum both times.
Getting awful heated over getting two votes on page 2, eh?Kreriov wrote:It is not really all that bad if some people take my question the wrong way. It was intended to generate discussion and it has succeeded. What I do care about is the reactions it received. When people use weak excuses to vote, that is a sign of scum. Blood basically said it bugged him but with no reasoning as to why. He did not vote at that time, however, so ok. I challenged him to support his statement. He didn't really know, but is talking, so really a null tell.
Then we get Reckoner. He calls the logic faulty, but fails to explain why and simply says asking a question is scummy then votes. Talk about a weak vote! His most recent post is even worse! OF COURSE the math in my question was wrong, UNLESS you take into account its context. It was in direct reply to MacavityLock voting Sajin because Sajin was scum in the last game. The POINT of the question is to illustrate that voting for someone because they were scum in the last game has no bearing on whether or not they are scum in this game. it doesn't matter if its a 'random' vote. And using an ironic question to point this out, have a bit of fun, and maybe get discussion going is PERFECTLY townie! But somehow me that is scummy? Really? On what planet? So rather than actually try to challenge me or even just talk, Reckoner goes on full offense and simply throws out that pejorative phrase - 'faulty logic' with no explanation, says I am scummy, and votes. No support for his action, no real thought for his action. Just an excuse to cast suspicion and place a vote. When challenged, he is so quick to defend himself, he does not really even try to look at the context to see that my logic and reasoning in context is not only pertinent, but valid. Pure scum or overzealous and careless townie, I am not sure yet is the problem.
But even better is RestFerma. No, not every question is townie. But most are. Now that he has talked about my question in particular, I will say it is very townie. (Read the above paragraph. Even if the humor was a bit of an inside joke, the question was a direct logical progression from the conversation.)
So basically, RestFerma has been V/LA, comes back and sees I am heavily involved in a discussion. He uses the wiki to pull out something called a straw man argument which he admits DOES NOT apply to this instance, but being so official looking and sounding probably seems to make his argument stronger, so he includes that red herring. He then proceeds to say that if my question had been a statement is would have been scummy, therefor the question is scummy even though he thinks it really was a joke, and votes. Sure sounds to me like he is voting just to vote for someone. He is deliberately taking my question out of context. He does not even quote me correctly. I DID NOT SAY asking questions is townie. I said IN GENERAL asking questions is townie, fully acknowledging that some questions are designed to make people look bad. By completely ignoring the fact that my question is direct logical progression from MacavityLock's vote and reason for that vote, he has shown he is simply scum interested in getting a townie lynched however he can.
Hey RestFermia, when did you stop beating your wife?
Anyway, my usual technique for finding scum appears to be successful. I now have two people who have placed votes on me simply because they could with no real support for their positions who failed to take into account post context. Towniee can make that mistake, so the first one (Reckoner) doing so might be a mistaken townie. Piling on top of another doing this is pure scum just being opportunistic.

Jebus has redeemed himself.
I never thought of Kre's beginning post as overreaction, but reading them again according to your idea, they do like like it.
And as to your question towards me jebus, Reck's post, where I thought he acted scummy was here. Where as RestF's was here.
Although I think that Kre did well in defending him self on page two, I can see the OMGUS attitude, and over reaction.

For the first one, Reck blew things up, but kept them in proportion. Since it was page two, I'm not sure how it was scummy (do explain).
As for RestFermata, you'll have to explain why that one was scummy as well...

This is where I think Kreriovs meta means he is town jeebus. He is counterattacking as before. I would rather not state too much about it to use in future games. But you can decide if he is acting similarly or not.
