The possibility of a jester in this game is so close to zero that it is in fact zero.

One of these has to be the jester then. Which is very very unlikely. Hell, the mod might even confirm that there isn't a jester.

@norman, omgusing half the player list is a hindrance to the town, especially when you have very few reasons for any of your votes.

last line should be, very few reasons if any. Sense I am including trekker and the like in your group.

– so basically Post 428 you were fluffing to look good when you said “There is scum there” since you actually didn’t have any suspects. Also – why didn’t you find the flurry on Lemon to be “odd” since it can't be considered any more 'well grounded'?

I wasn't fluffing to look good, though. I was simply stating a possibility that worried me, because the wagon was gathering awfully fast for my liking. And was there a flurry on Lemon? It's really hard to keep track when I keep coming back to 3+ pages every afternoon... >_>

Are you saying that you found this flurry odd?

Also Lord M – please link me to any completed game you have where scum self-voted.

Well, I self-voted as scum. Shadoweh can attest to that. There's no reason for town to self-vote, though. It doesn't help with anything.



Well I must say that MaguaofIllusion, at least the rude head, is bothering me. I can't tell, though, if its scummy or just mean...

I will, however, hop on the CooLDoG wagon, as I agree that his play is appearing scummy to me as well.

Hmmm...interesting. He also asked Skenvoy to have his babies. Is he buddying with Skenvoy as well?

AV is voting for RT at this point, is he really buddying? MoI was voting for Shadoweh in the post you quoted that he responded to...is that buddying? MoS wasn't voting for anyone at that point...is that buddying?

I agree that the fearmongering quote was bad. It's one of the things I don't like about Avox.

Hey, you know what I just realized. You have a propensity for OMGUS. You think you're oh so spheshial because you tell people when they're scummy. I think that bloated BS. You've accused him of buddying with two people for comments that actually don't quite fit in with the rest of his comments in the original thread now that I've re-read him. He seems quite dead serious about his RT vote.

But, you know what? His very last comment in that thread was a reason to you for why greenknight's vote on you was valid. In his very last comment, he called you a "legitimately scummy player."

I find it very very interesting that in not only your last comment in the original thread you OMGUS'd a vote to greenknight for voting you, your very first vote and post in the new incarnation was about AVox with a vote on him after this response, and well now your vote's on me. I think you've surpassed Norman in turning OMGUS into an artform. You see, he does it openly. You try to veil it like the scum you are.

Oh MoI - I said that AV was 3rd on my scum reads earlier. I retract that now. I've had chance to re-read him in the original thread. I still don't like his position nor do I like his attitude or the fact that he hasn't shown up, but obnoxious doesn't mean scum and I want to see what he has to offer. I like some of what he says, and am really hating the two that are on his wagon.

This is an unnecessarily cagey response, and considering that you'd recently quoted him, it should be clear what he was referring to,

I think LordMh is going after an easy target in Kondi, and that he's not really paying attention to the reasons that he's voting him.

The people, at this point, most worried about identifying who is lawful and who is chaotic are the respective scum factions.

MaguaofIll wrote:
We can look back and find who is scummy for wanting in later.

Why postpone it, if you think that it will be useful?

1. How is this buddying? You see to me this looks like seedy and pointless contribution. You're attempting to appear active by sniping from the sidelines. Too bad you don't really have anything of value to say. Maybe if you interacted with Pine, you could get a better read on them and determine whether or not they're attempting to buddy. But, that would mean you'd have to ask pointless questions.

2. As Mhork said later he was actually defending him. But I think it's real cute how you have such a propensity to mischaracterize what people do and say. Guess who do that the most? Scum. Also, as he said, how was he supposed to tell you who was scum. Not everyone has partners, Zdenek. Also, are you seriously suggesting that parroting is not a legitimate scum tell? Because scum often tend to parrot (repeat) what others say to substantiate their own claims.

3. Is Kondi and easy target? Or are you buddying?

4. Asking a pointless question in order to appear like you are contributing and interacting with a lot of people.

At this point, I'd be I happy lynching Tammy just so that I don't have to read her fucking posts anymore.

I'm pretty sure that I've seen it work, but I don't have stats on it's success rate.

I can see where MaguaIll is coming from regarding Shadow1psc's play being similar to his play in AFFC, but I wouldn't wnt to lynh Shadow1psc because of this meta arguement.

My other scum read right now is Zdenek. His voting reasons don't feel right. Bringing up voting alliances is just something people do here, it's not indicative of alignment. His points on Mhork I disagree with, people babbling the same thing five times is a good reason to suspect a wagon of being scummy.

AVox's buddying isn't the only reason that I'm voting him, and while it's true that suggesting an alliance isn't scummy, buddying can be. Someone disagreeing with you is not a scumtell. I do not think that someone who over reacts as town is unlikely to do it as scum, I don't agree with your meta argument that he's town at all. Finally, I disagree with your take on wagons for a couple of reasons, scum are reasonably likely to try to stay off of wagons early on day one and to avoid being accused of sheeping scum will also often try to avoid it.

↑ Tammy wrote:Just a quick check-in to correct a mistake. I messed up the quotes trying to trim down my post. I'm not actually voting AurorusVox.

unvote

You should.

1. Good one. It's obvious. Way to not actually say what you're thinking but expect someone else to know what you're thinking. That's such a more efficient and town-centered play style than asking questions in order to have a conversation. What have I been thinking all this time? Why hasn't someone pointed out my inadequacies before now? I think I'll just go re-evaluate my whole existence now.

2. Actually when I read this I laughed. Because I in the past, as scum, have openly joked about the fact that I was scum and that I wasn't bussing who I wasn't bussing at the time. It doesn't really mean anything though. I've done it as town too, and seen lots of people joke about being scum when they weren't. Don't really think you can read anything into it, but it's a nice shot, especially if you're stretching to make someone look bad.

I think it's very good of you to not want to lynch someone because of meta. I, myself, try to stay away from meta as much as possible. It's one of the reasons the site I come from regularly employs alts. But *sigh* the fact that meta was already used against you and you defended against the meta in the original thread...it kind of feels disingenuous.

3. I'm confused. You say that suggesting an alliance isn't scummy but buddying can be. What I read in re-reading Avox was him suggesting a voting alliance, which you've just stated isn't scummy. You've interpreted it as buddying, but can you point out anything more than AV suggesting a voting alliance, which you've stated isn't scummy, to show that he's buddying?

I'd also like to you to explain your logic on the wagons. You say that scum will avoid getting on wagons early? *shakes head in mass confusion* What? Are you serious? Is that really what happens here at this site? I'm lost at your attempts at logic because it's my experience that it's the complete opposite, especially if there's an easy target around. It's a very few scum who won't jump into a wagon or come up with a perfectly reasonable reason to vote somewhere just to have a vote out to avoid the great mafia fundies who ridicule people who hold onto their vote. Not jumping into a wagon makes them stand out, which is what most FM do not want. Your logic is flawed. Day one is the easiest day for them to get on a wagon early if they want to because they can easily make up some crap reason to be there.

4. Why should I vote AVox? Because you say so? Give me a better reason than OMGUS. Give me a better reason than the crap you provided. Eh...I like my vote right where it is.

Ok... So far it's just been discussional dissent. I don't even know if Cooldog is a scumbag anymore, I mean there's always two sides of the accusations. One side doesn't want to lynch Cooldog, the other side does.

If I can just figure out what side isn't bullshitting... But it's hard to tell without the day ending and actions are submitted to the mod. If only it were Day 2...

And if I'm town what does that make Cooldog and the rest of the people voting for him?



I don't know anymore... I should've used the reverse psychology tactic on Day 2 but it's too late for that. There has to be some way to sort everyone out without having to lynch them...

You might also note that I've called Foxace town on multiple occasions. I was waiting for some substance from people that haven't posted/posted much since the restart. I got what I wanted though, so let me read back into the original thread one more time, there was something that struck me wrong.

Did you find the thing that struck you as wrong?

Yes, my case against Cooldog was elaborated on. Mostly his questions page 1 and 2 which seemed like misdirection, about town sizes, and then the general lack of participation re: people voting him/lobbying suspicion at him.

You answered this last night and I got distracted. I've had a generally good impression of CoolDog as I've read through the thread, but I'll re-read him with your thoughts in mind.

Complementing someone's scum hunting is buddying and buddying with MoI has proven to be an effective scum-tell.

Pine has to red the thread and comment on what he thinks is important. That is how I will get a read on him, and I'll ask him questions if necessary.

I'm not a mind reader. Mhork didn't say, "I think Norman is town" or anything of the sort. That would have been clearly defending him.

This is the question of whether or not he was serious about that alliance. If he was serious about it, then it's not buddying and it's not scummy. If he wasn't then it could have been buddying.

To be honest, I'm not sure of trekker. All he did was support my lynch targets... Whether he has a mind of his own or being consulted by scumbags to band with the paranoid guy (me), I really don't know what alignment he is. He's the exact form of me in this game except more silent... But Pine cursed out Foxace when pretty much a decent amount of people had voted for him. However I don't want to lynch anyone without knowing who is who, and until then I'll fence-sit.
