I modded a Calvin and Hobbes game once, it didn't go well.

I completely agree with this. The reaction was very much not what I expected.

PEdit: @save the dragons, I get what you mean, but I feel like a town response to the wagon would have been more along the lines of "lol how silly", and less "scum are TOTALLY HOPING FOR A QUICKLIM GUYSSSS"

(paraphrasing accuracy not guaranteed)

I discount pretty much nothing given the thread vibes at the time. I think it's absolutely possible to try to encourage a memey shitposty environment as scum (and have done so myself in a game when I felt it was beneficial). In the first NQN there was an early wagon on town who was, uh, trolling, and iirc a fair number of scum tried to join that wagon. I think if the opportunity presents itself scum are going to try to get an easy wagon to happe, and I think a decent starting point is to look through the people and see whose actions seem opportunistic.

Also, paraphrasing me in all caps feels like...you're trying to strawman me here by making me sound more panicky than I actually am?

Only did a cursory skim of his scumgame in a mini normal, but I think butterchurn is town here.

I feel the same way, having seen his towngame and his scumgame.

Thanks for the explanation. In my observation of games here there seems to be much more tendency to over-analyse than randomly limming someone so I'm not sure how likely it is that scum here would expect an early wagon on you to actually result in a lim (also as one vote on the wagon in a game this size I know I at least am acutely aware of my insignificance!).

whilst the paraphrasing was not intended to be precise, "panicky" was indeed the impression that your posting gave me.

Can you explain this one to me?

I don't think anyone thinks Wallflower is more panicky than catboi. Talk about not reading the room.

Sorry misread that sentence disregard.

I'm sure this is the first and only time Tracer and Butter's matching avatars will confuse me and i will never mistake the two again.

142 i like the interpretation of catboi's post as something that feels like it came from someone trying to solve catboi more than someone trying to condemn catboi

If I was in a neighborhood, would y'all wanna know, or would it be best to hold off on that for now

asking for a friend

general tendency sure but things can change on atmosphere - in the last game town got pushed to E-2 on page 10. I think that even if it was...unlikely that I actually get speed-limmed, if I look at the pile of votes on me, I don't expect it to be entirely organic. I think that's honestly really basic analysis.

Hmm. I can kinda see it. The post feels really comfortable to make at least, the thoughts are probably genuine even if Wallflower is scum.

PEdit: FL tell us all your secrets pls

I am in hood with Flavor and indeed he asking for me.

Only if you think someone in the hood is scum?

Lol

I don't think claiming neighbor is beneficial this early.

Okay.

I'm definitely not in a secret neighborhood with Klick and Enchant.

If I am killed, do not go after them for secrets I've shared in the non existent neighborhood.

Too late I see.

sure, but "don't expect it to be entirely organic" is different from expecting scum to be hoping for a quicklim

Gosh darnit, and i was hoping for a quicklim.
Foiled again by you meddling kids.
