Also, for the WotC stuff - 2 people WotCed LLD, zero WotCed Zang when I canned the entire program.
That is NOT working as intended

Yeah, as I said before, I thought I'd give it a try, but I've been pretty skeptical of the process from the beginning.

Zang actually played decently this game in terms of not attracting suspicion.
I could see it being frustrating if we were both town though.
Darox I have some more respect for than I did before this game; his posting style is a little maddening / unproductive but his reads at least were decent.

I think that my play in this game was great. I also never really lurked, that was a real V/LA and if I didn't have the oppurtunity to hammer, I would have made a huge catch up post.
My distancing with GreyICE really didn't have anything to do with alignment. I just really don't like him.

[quote="In post 1193,
The tracker thing makes me think, and it's a reason why in my first thoughts post I say I actually think giving two same roles different mechanics would be a pretty good idea. But I'm not sure it clears Lurc like you says it does. Let's say Lurc is scum fake claiming and that for whatever reason I didn't provide him a fake role pm (which I would have done), so he gets it wrong at first. He argues about it. Then you say, "ask the damn mod!" so he says "okay" then he takes an hour or so and fakes like he talked to me (or actually talks to me, doesn't matter). He comes back and says, "whoops. you're right!" That seems totally doable as a scum because if he knows he can clear himself by confirming it, he could plausibly do it. Yes, it's WIFOM, but it's effective. scumLurc in that position would, after all, know he was being lynched or vigged the next day if he doesn't do this.[/quote]
Oh, of course it doesn't clear Lurc at all.
What it does is confirm ME as town. Lurc may be scum lying or town telling the truth; either way, I must be town, since I knew the town role PM.
Also, I had a very strong suspicion Lurc was just misreading his role PM all along (which is why I told him like 5 times to ask you about it instead of just assuming he was scum and going after him), so if he had asked you and cleared it up, I, personally, would have mostly believed him. It doesn't confirm him as anything, but I personally would have opposed his lynch after that point.

Yeah, i was wrong about Zang. (shrug) Mostly because the obviously scum GreyICE kept trying to lynch him for no good reason, I came to the conclusion that Zang was probably town. That was good distancing.
But, yeah; I really hate the blind I'M GOING TO TUNNEL THIS GUY HE'S SCUM EVERYONE FOLLOW ME stuff you constantly do for no reason. All it seems to do when you're town is encourage everyone to join mindless speedwagons, usually on town power roles, and then you blow all your credibility by leading terrible wagons for no reason WITH TOTAL CERTAINTY early in the game so no one listens to you later.

Like Empking's normal game?
I mean yeah, it works sometimes and sometimes it doesn't. But its not all mislynches and PR outing

Oh, I know it works sometimes. I really think you'd be better off if you saved that degree of intensity for when you REALLY meant it, though, instead of using it every single time you feel like placing a vote. Problem is that if you start with your volume knob at a 10 on day 1 when you're pushing basically random wagons, then when you need to jack the intensity up even higher (like on day 3 of this game), you really have nowhere to go, and everyone just kind of tunes you out.
