K, mod PM'd me saying that all I know is that I trigger the ability to kill; I don't know who does it, or when.
Do you have a rolename or some more flavor?RichardGHP wrote:Claim: Renly Baratheon
I am Robert's youngest brother. I have decided to be King, but their are currently bigger problems to attend to.
If I die, Ser Loras is able to perform one kill to attemp to avenge me. Therefore, I know Ser Loras is in the game. However, I do not know who (s)he is and what alignment they are. If Ser Loras dies before I do, nothing happens upon my death..
Either of the two of them would make sense. And Brienne's a pretty important part of the books, I'd assume she's in the game.Benmage wrote:One thing that struck me as odd about the claim is that Ser Loras does the veng killing....I would've imagined Brienne doing that, but perhaps Brienne isn't in the game and this is how things had to work...ahh headache

By the way, glad to see the Richard wagon is taking off. Pillars of the evil king's castle are finally falling 2day.
Unraise: CryMeARiver
Like, I don't usually mind when people suck up to me, but this is kind of over the top. Also, it'shardlylike I'd firmly decided you were my guy here.
To Richard: do you know if this bonus kill is immediate, or takes place during the subsequent night? For instance, were you lynched, would Loras kill someone before the Night technically started, or would it happen as a regular action during the Night. And I assume he can't hold it for later, but has to use it right then? Could he elect NOT to use it?
Mod: I'm pretty sure I'm not voting for anyone.coppingout of the Richard wagon either, I just like his claim.

Oh, and would you rather I gave you a chance of getting hammered, just so I wouldn't do what scum "classicaly" do? This is ridiculous.Dana sticks out to me as scum, btw.
"Oh look guys Richard's at L-1 so I'll unvote to show everyone how townie I am"
Classic scum tactic.
Sure, but it seems to me he claimed someone pretty important, so unless there's a counter-claim, I don't see how one could say it's false."Benmage" wrote: People People...the scum last game had safeclaims, unless provable claims, nameclaims really shouldn't dissuade scummness.
I have already discussed this. I believe Drippereth is town, definitely have no reason to call them scum, and know they can handle a double vote well. Besides the fact that others are willing to raise them.Benmage wrote: Why?
We all know that RichardGHP is not a confirmed townie, as a matter of fact, I'm actually neutral on the claim for now (Will depend on his further game play if I believe it or not). However, the reason why you may assume that is because I like a few others wanted to look at the people on Richard's bandwagon and I found some pretty interesting reasons for voting him. Some of them are good, but others really do suck. Plus I've never really felt he was suspicious enough for a lynch, although I was suspicious of him for a short time.Rifka Viveka wrote:SSBF, you seem to be operating like Richard is a confirmed townie who just claimed luke skywalker.
This. The re-entry into the game from animorpherv1, Mikujin, and especially Migwelloni were pretty pathetic.Rifka Viveka wrote:We sure do seem to have a LOT of lurkers.
So your reasoning for raising drip is:danakillsu wrote:I have already discussed this. I believe Drippereth is town, definitely have no reason to call them scum, and know they can handle a double vote well. Besides the fact that others are willing to raise them.Benmage wrote: Why?

Classic scum tactic.
They can handle a dbl vote well because there are two of them and they are both very experienced.Benmage wrote: So your reasoning for raising drip is:
1)You can't find anything scummy about them.
2) Know they can handle a double vote well. (Sounds subjective, care to embellish on this one)
3) And the fact that others are willing to raise them....not like theres scum amongst us **sarcasm**
So depending on some comment on #2, i'm sure points 1/3 could be made for others...so unless you have more to say here, I'm rather unimpressed.
Also, it'll be worth you mentioning about the fact that I, for one am quite against Drip getting the dbl vote, and others share this opinion. What is your opinion on that?
Why do you find it scummy that I ensured RichardGHP would not be quicklynched? LOOK WHO HE TURNED OUT TO BE! We also hadn't decided who to raise as Hand yet. I help town a lot and it's scummy. Go figure. I will do this again next time I have the opportunity, despite what others might think.SSBF wrote: danakillsu: As bad as I doubt it. FoS Richard because he agreed with Drippereth and thought he was somewhat scummy without really giving his own thoughts. Then said RichardGHP was the probable best lynch and votes him without really explaining in his own words, making me feel like he was bandwagonning him a bit. Like others, I also find it scummy that he took RichardGHP off L-1 just so Richard could claim.

I'm not asking you to prove it, just show medanakillsu wrote: It's your vote, your call. I'm not going to try to prove that Dripp is town, because that is impossible at this point in time.
I can see your point here, but this isn't a newbie/mini game, so people tend to put a lot of pressure on a person. Plus putting a person at L-1 with another player declaring their intend to hammer is a higher risk of a person being lynched before they get a chance to claim, either intentionally by scum tactic or accidentally by an uninformed townie. I wanted to prevent a quick hammer from happening before RichardGHP claimed, that's why I asked him to claim at L-2 (Bascially, he was at L-1, but the point still stands). On top of that, some people prefer to claim earlier.Percy wrote:@SSBF: Calling for a claim at L-2 is poor form. Claims are for when a player is at L-1 and another player has declared their willingness to hammer them, not before.
Actually, basically anyone in the RichardGHP's bandwagon with scummy intents are one way or another slightly scummy. However, I prefer to focus on my more major suspects for the moment (Migwelloni, vezopiraka, RichardGHP, animorpherv1, and CryMeARiver). But yeah, time to clear my read up on CryMeARiver.Percy wrote:Also, you have a very confused read of CMAR in your latest post. There are several players who you identified as having scummy reasons to participate in the Richard wagon, and you call CMAR's vote townie, yet CMAR ends up on your suspect list, but the others don't? plz2xplain.
That wasn't the only thing I found scummy. I found your vote scummy because you failed to provide your own thoughts on why you found RichardGHP scummy while at least half the twelve other people on the bandwagon have done so.danakillsu wrote:Why do you find it scummy that I ensured RichardGHP would not be quicklynched?

The fact that CryMeARiver started a good bandwagon that got us a lot of information is townie and he put some good reasons for voting RichardGHP. However, the scummy things about him outweighs the townie things he did. I explain why I find CryMeARiver scummy in my response to Percy. Will quote if needed.Benmage wrote:@SSBFyou stick CMaR in your "townie" section for the wagon breakdown, and then have him in your notable 5 suspects...(rich as well) Whats up with that?
Where do you see anyone who vote to raise Axelrod doing so on the presented basis that “he wrote a nice post on Raising”? I personally voted to raise him for the totality of his posts, which were in my mind very Pro-Town. If you don’t “have a problem” with Axelrod why go out of the way to undermine the credibility of those Raising him?Mina wrote: For the record, if people raise Axelrod, can it be for his actual c"ases and suspicions, and not because you agreed with one point he made about raising? I have no problems with Axelrod so far (although there are players I trust more). But that post alone is a very shallow reason to trust someone. Scum are just as capable as innocents of writing a reasonable post that essentially says, "I don't think we should worry too much about raising."
First people would vote for you directly as a double-voter if they trusted you to use it wisely. Second given your pointless softclaim later why would you be volunteering for a position that may or may not be NK bait?CMAR wrote:Okay, I will get caught up soon, but to those voting to raise axelrod, I would just like to say that whoever gets the double vote will likely die quickly and axelrod already endorsed me getting the double vote.

I’d be against it simply because I don’t think having a double vote really improves your ability to play given your presented playstyle. I believe a double-voter power would better complement someone with a more declaratory style such as Cow or Percy.DripHyrda wrote:Who would be in favor of raising the Drippereth hydra?

Do you believe given the previous Mini game where fake claims were provided that there is any chance of a CC based on a specific name?LynchMe wrote:Absent a CC or catching him in a lie, the claim is believable.

I'd support either of your proposed raises. I'm not sure I agree with you saying Dripp wouldn't improve their ability to play given their playstyle. They use their vote to scum hunt, and pretty effectively from what I've seen so far, so how is giving them twice the vote bad? They may not be twice the effective scumhunter, but I think it would definitely improve their play. At the least they could use one vote to push their top suspect and the other to probe at people like they regularly do.MagnaofIllusion wrote:I’d be against it simply because I don’t think having a double vote really improves your ability to play given your presented playstyle.

I guess not. I didn't play in the small game, but I understand that the scum had fake claims. I guess the "absent a CC" was unnecessary. I just meant that his claim is believable to me, but I was open to it being refuted.MagnaofIllusion wrote:Do you believe given the previous Mini game where fake claims were provided that there is any chance of a CC based on a specific name?
Large themed game...5 faction world...the books had constant backstabbing of sorts. Tyrion in the mini I believe, although a Lannister was town-aligned...there could be countless characters or factions used in the series as anti-town people/factions in this game.MagnaofIllusion wrote:Italiced for emphasis … where does your feeling about this come from?

RichardGHP was basically attempting to shift off the blame to his playstyle for all the heat he got. I personally consider myself a pretty poor player, but I don't use that as a crutch. This is exactly what RichardGHP was trying to do.MagnaofIllusion wrote:@ Those who jumped on Richard’s 196 – vezo and SSBF – can you explain why it is scummy? If anything it reads as frustrated which is at best a null-tell.
I disagree with this. I think being a Hydra is an advantage.The fact that theres 2 of them makes it worse. (too many chefs in the kitchen) Conflicting mentalities.
Alright. The fact that they have been making a detailed list of players whom they find town, scum, and neutral. It is very useful to other players to see where Dripp stands. No, it's not meaningless, but I don't get as much of a town read on those players.I'm not asking you to prove it, just show me anything that gave you town vibes.
And you failed to comment on the fact that the other (more)experienced players are against Drip gaining the double vote. Is that meaningless to you?
I understand the first part, but that's not what we're talking about right now.That wasn't the only thing I found scummy. I found your vote scummy because you failed to provide your own thoughts on why you found RichardGHP scummy while at least half the twelve other people on the bandwagon have done so.
I'm know I'm going to sound like I'm contradicting what I said to Percy in this post, but I find that L-1 removal scummy because it seems like you're trying to buy RichardGHP some more time to claim and save himself by taking him off L-1. If he's at L-1, keep him there. Now yes, some votes were unwarranted, but he did deserve to have to claim to save his own butt.
