How do you start a game, tell me please

↑ Deltabacon wrote:Well, after reading again I'd be up for an FF lynch, given that he's quite happy to allow you to pick his vote for him whilst town reading you with very weak reasoning which you have rebutted, and has been obstructive to the production of offsite meta, which whilst it could read as null, reads to me as scum deliberately impeding an investigation on them.
UNVOTE: Orcinus
VOTE: FF
It's a she.
We're not lynching ff today for several reasons.
Firstly and most importantly, she's by far the best player in this game and (in my opinion) especially so as town. This means that when she's town, by reading her reads carefully, we succesfully lynch scum more often than we otherwise would. When she's scum, we may wrongfully lynch town, but we also have a really good indicator that she's scum as she's very rarely wrong in her reads.
Secondly, the accusation that she is "town reading with very weak reasoning" is preposterous. What exactly is it you mean with weak reasoning?
Thirdly, I highly doubt that her refusing to give away meta is at all related to her alignment in this game.
On the other hand, it looks a bit scummy to me that you deliberately chose to read it as "scum deliberately impeding an investigation on them" when it for all you know could be related to wanting anonymity for now.

↑ orcinus_theoriginal wrote:Well no FF did it last game when she was obvtown and I think it's townie that she's willing to uphold that belief despite whatever flak she might get for it.
Nero: Good policy lynch, or
great
policy lynch?
I'm pretty sure that her being unwilling to provide meta from a different site is in itself null.

I don't think my track record reading unknown players is nearly as good as all that. We'll see. I do hope to help my team win, no matter how short my stay in the game.
My team is town.

You're voting someone for asking a direct and simple question as opposed to reading an entire game?

He's hard to read, though I've gotten him right once or twice. I don't have an opinion yet.

Yep.
First off, "an entire game" is misleading. Nero has maybe 50 posts between 3 games. All of them one-liners.
Secondly, from what I've seen of FF last game, I know that she tries very hard as town. And not once in last game did she ever ask for meta--she preferred to get it herself.
Which is why I think that this is out-of-character for town ff. Along with other things.

I would've called for a PL right out of a gate is what I meant.
This fixation on small details doesn't seem like scumhunting. What exactly are you doing right now ff and what do you hope to get out of this conversation?
I would love to put FF at L-1 right now but I'm afraid of an unpredictable idiot named Nero.
Inconsistencies grab my attention.
I hope to figure some people out, though I usually better on more sleep. I woke up and got back into this thread around 4 am my time. It's 6 am now. Coffee would probably help.
I liked Syryana's last post.
Do you think anything about Syryana specifically writing out "Mafia Goon" as opposed to just saying "scum"? I have some thoughts about it, but I'd like to hear yours first.

No matter how quick and how good FF's reads are, #26 was overkill.

I'm not bothering with RVS. He's flopping on his scumreads, with votes that 'Are now serious' on an RVS vote to a vote on the person who questioned why wagons can't be random

Tryharding scum has been caught.
Interesting, because I read this opposite of you. I think that the overreaction, which I agree it is, is likely to come from town. I think scum-orc would probably be more deliberate about what to base votes on.
You need to read the thread again.
You need to be more specific as I'm not going to read the thread in its entirety again right now.

He's new to the site I think but obviously has mafia experience from his posts.
Hm. Remembering my first game here, I was a lot more careful of local terminology than I've been in later games. I was scum, and that played into my punctiliousness.

Big words from someone who avoided RVS.

I didn't avoid RVS, I just wasn't around. However, if I was around I would explicitly have declared it over because it's inherently anti-town and a massive waste of time.
More or less any other way of starting the game is superior to writing a post that contains absolutely nothing that has any potential what-so-ever to be alignment-indicative. I could have written about my favorite colour and it would have been more useful.

If I wound up quick-lynched overnight at your behest without a chance to dump my nascent reads, I wanted my town read on you well cemented in memories.
You're welcome.

So said "overreaction" doesn't actually exist.

Right but then town would never get into the serious stages of the game.
The game only starts when an interaction such as that between me/ff (arising from random votes mind you) causes an alignment-indicative response to arise. Every game starts in RVS, and it ends when something alignment-indicative comes up. My goal is to make that period in between as short as possible.
But this is a pointless discussion.

Were you genuinely worried about a quicklynch?

Something can't be "misleading" when it's a guess, it's just incorrect or inaccurate, which is entirely different - especially in this context.
All I'm saying is that I find the assertion that her not having read the meta being indicative of her being scum silly.
Which other things?
