This is the most game-relevant thing that Robot posted this entire game, meaning we're seeing a trending of lurking, similar to last game.

I'm not sure what GM could have said to the statement "youre scum" [sic] that isn't "hah no".

CrisP wrote:I liked the vote on me plus discussion, given my mistake about the game setup last time it's reasonable, but you could have elaborated more and after that you spent your time defending yourself, which is not pro town in my eyes, there's not much you can say to defend yourself at the start so you might as well show you are town by helping and ignore the random heat (if you're town).

If you ask me, I think the idea of stimulating discussion can be very easily done by anyone, town or not. Moreover, why would a townsperson not be defensive while on the recieving end of the heat; and why would that be a bad thing for a townsperson to do?

CrisP wrote:In my opinion newbs lurk, especially if they are mafia. I want to point out to BW, since he didn't believe me at the time, that following that rule last game we would have found the two mafia after 40 posts day 1.

Coincidence does not equal evidence, I'm afraid, and I'm one of those tricky people who insists on a bit more than "they're not here mostly" as a reason. Also; I don't see how that relates to that jmo16mla quote at all.

I don't like that the only purpose this post serves is to shut down an early effort to get the game going.

In post 122, DiamondCrash wrote:You yourself voted people in order to garner reactions in 1442 the first. Hypocritical, much?

Decent point.

In post 122, DiamondCrash wrote:...which has been rightly justified as getting a reaction from people. In addition, you have also voted for people as a method for getting a reaction in the previous game; this can only lead me to believe that you are unjustly pushing to throw suspicion at GIF, I can't see that as anything other than highly scummy. I'm not buying it for one second.

Decent point.

In post 141, RachMarie wrote:Crisp why would you vote and get on DC saying he was lying about being a VT last game? So was I. At most we have 2 PRs for town and can just have one. Sometimes the mafia also has a PR sometimes both are goons. That is in the matrix set up in the OP.

The reasoning was incorrect, but why would it be something that he would do as scum?

In post 145, RachMarie wrote:GM would love more from you since you are the IC and I dont want to step on your toes here

What does this mean?

#145 doesn't have anything else impressive, either.



DC's case on Buckwild was decent enough to keep me off him, although I don't agree with it and it doesn't propel him to the town category quite yet. IDR seems to have disappeared, which is a shame.

Rach, I've posted. Sort me.

pfft and voted me I see

What I meant was I was getting the urge to IC and was answering questions like I do no matter what I am and I realized that it could be interpreted by GM as me trying to take over the IC role which is hers in this game thats all.

Mainly at this point I am pretty much clueless on most peeps because they are not POSTING. I was trying to get activity moving, If I end up lynched oh well wont be the first time I have been lynched on day friggin one... and definitely better than us having a NL. This activity level here is beyond pathetic.




Crisp I did not say it was right or good for town to lurk, its not, however just saying it happens a lot and too much to be an aha must be scum tell, and sometimes it can be hard unless you have been around a while to figure out if someone is really lurking, actively lurking (which IS a scum tell), or just plain flaked.

I posted. You didn't give a read on me like I asked you to.

LOL from one post eh?

Most likely town but I still have doubts I always do with you Nacho you are so good...

meh you really fooled me last time sigh. I should have realized with you lasting as long as you did without being NKed and even though you went no where on N 2 and went to PA on N 3 but she did not die someone else did that you were not doing the killing bah... Instead I thought it meant you were town.

In post 140, jmo16mla wrote:Its got something to do with me continually calling you scum? because that's just about all i can remember doing in this game.

No.
It may, however, have something to do with the latter sentence.

In post 145, RachMarie wrote:GM would love more from you since you are the IC and I dont want to step on your toes here

Double-checked just to see what you were talking about...
APPARENTLY I AM
GO FIGURE
I don't care. Do what you want.

Also IRL stuff.

@Nacho: Sometimes it takes me a while to suss things.

Sometimes I try to get people to post more.

The attacking thing is actually something I picked up from you early on, I think, and I find it rather stronger in newbie games though I don't often advertise the fact.

I'd like to know if your townread on jmo comes from anything other than "earnestness".

I agree, I liked nacho's posts after the ping but since RM marked him as a good player and I have no reason to disbelieve the statement it could easily be good mafia playing as town, the only thing I found very strange was the read on JM you gave.

So you think im town?

I prodded iamdrrobot & Buckwild.

ok.

Oh yes.^

Nope. Is that not enough for you?

At this point in the game? Maybe, maybe not.

Does anyone else feel earnestness from jmo?

Why do you think he's pushing on you so hard as scum right now?

Because he thinks he can get me lynched.
In other words:
Either because he's Town and thinks I'm Scum he can get lynched, or because he's Scum and thinks I'm Town he can get lynched.

Well I'll be damned. So that's how you play this game.

Why can't I be scum with you, bussing you?

I've been really busy in the last week. Still here. I will post something either Thursday or Friday. I'm sorry for not contributing.

Nachomamma8 wrote: Nope. Is that not enough for you?

Nacho is that based on a gut read that he looks town by the way he talks or has it something to do with one of these reasonings:

- If Jmo pushes hard on GM and GM gets lynched, the chance of him getting lynched next round goes up dramatically if GM was confirmed town. 1 mafia for 1 town in this setup is not worth it, so a mafia might not want to take that risk.

- Do you think JM is soft claiming

Goodmorning wrote:Does anyone else feel earnestness from jmo?

I feel like he wants to lynch you pretty hard, whether this is earnestness or something else is an open question for me.

Goodmorning wrote:Because he thinks he can get me lynched.

That's an odd way of phrasing it, it looks like you tried really hard to make it as neutral as possible to avoid slip-ups, you just need to change town and scum in the two sentences and they are interchangable but:

If he thinks you are scum does he care if he can get you lynched? I would just push for it regardless and hope to convince the rest of town, unless I happened to have another strong mafia read which the rest of town agrees on as well, which is pretty unlikely day one. Also do you think you are an easy lynch at this time?

Jmo16mla wrote:Why can't I be scum with you, bussing you?

It's a possibility but does this play really make sense now with this setup? What does the fact she left this out tell you, is she thinking like a town and you like a mafia?

Jmo16mla wrote: So you think im town?

I see you as slightly scummy at the moment, because I'm slightly town on GM, if you manage to convince a majority of town to lynch GM and she actually comes out as mafia then my view would shift dramatically and you would be almost confirmed town, the buss play is still something to keep in mind but at the moment it doesn't really make sense in my mind.

Thanks & sorry!

In post 166, jmo16mla wrote:Why can't I be scum with you, bussing you?

I hadn't thought of that. I suppose you could be, although this early in the game?
Do you have a history of bussing/bussing early in your scumgames?

It probably doesn't actually. Town can get Town lynched too.

Yeah, I was deliberately doing that to make it clear that's not why I'm scumreading him.

When you're Scum, you usually want to get rid of the players that have proven they can play at least decently, at least sometimes.
BUT you want your nightkills to use on PRs, because PRs are difficult to get lynched and a great danger to you.
So it's best to try and get the decent players out by lynch.

Also do you think you are an easy lynch at this time?

Right now? It's possible. I certainly haven't been playing up to snuff.

CrisP is my strongest townread after that post.

Iamdrrobot is being replaced.
