Yeah, I really could care less about that. What I dislike is hit pretentious attitude and his "HELLNUTSDEVILDARKNESSPR0N" motif.

I think that we should suspect people that

a) have admitted to love playing as scum.
b) are known for his chaotic behaviour.

I haven't met all the players here but I definitely know two that fit in the characteristics described. BM and DGB. I wouldn't be surprised if the had already changed sides.

I wouldn't be opposed to a DGB lynch. I don't really think it's all that likely she's turned traitor already, but my gut feeling is that she is more likely then most to do it at some point in the game, at an unexpected time and in an unpredictable manner; possibly just for random reason, or because she suddenly decides it's the right play for some reason that never would have occured to me, or perhaps just becuase she thinks it's funny.

Rofl. I agree it might be a problem once we get into serious analysis time but I’m willing to put up with a bit of silliness day one.
populartajo wrote:Some people just doesnt like being scum.
Are any of them in this game?

Unvote, Vote:BM
because 4 out of 5 people surveyed said he would be scum. Also, the thread is a lot shorter than it should be.

I’m currently opposed to a DGB lynch on the basis that it will make the game 10% less amusing.

No, not at all. Some people like being town; other just like winning, and are likely to stay town until they decide that turning scum will improve their personal odds of victory. Me, personally, no; my goal this game is to win with the town.

You, though, you're a wild card; I can never predict what you're going to do at any given moment or in any given situation, but I think that given an option like that, you're likely to take it, sooner or later. Those two traits, put together, make you a threat to the town, IMHO.

This.

Which post are you talking about? I don't see anything in his last post that would fit either alignment too strictly.

I'm not sure about BM.

SC wrote:Unvote: MafiaSSK

That's a weak reason to vote.

Jumping on easy targets?

Unvote, Vote StrangerCoug

DoS wrote:DGB the problem is I've made comments like that in other games where you don't have a choice as to whether you are town or scum, and was/ am town.
That's not the right thing to say -
FOS: DoS


A townie would not point out examples of where he was town and did what he did, (which is not very strong evidence), but rather point out why the reasoning is incorrect.

a) is WIFOM, but I feel b) is something to keep in mind.

Yeah, DGB falls under b) in the above.

I would be opposed to a DGB lynch right now, though. We have scummier people to look at, like StrangerCoug.
DGB wrote:But my dear Yos, isn't this true of everybody, including yourself?
I would think you're more likely to do the "possibly just for random reason" or "because she thinks it's funny."

There will be points where turning traitor is the correct move, but I feel that you will be more likely to turn traitor some time I would not suspect.

Just because BM is thought to turn scum, does not mean he will actually do it. He'll have several advantages for not doing what people think he will.

I don't really understand your reasoning for this vote.

I'm looking back and I don't like this exchange:
SC wrote:Two of the four people I invited made it in, but I'm not going to tell anybody who they are. I will, however, tell you I think they will be of the same alignment.

M4yhem, Rishi was scum in Newbie 614 and won. I know it's in the game's spirit to guess who will be aligned how, but be careful please.
SC posts that he won't tell the names of those he recommnded for no stated reason.
FL wrote:Why so mysterious?

FoS: StrangerCoug
FL calls out SC.
SC wrote:I want people to guess not only my alignment, but also who I brought with me and whether or not I'd side with or against them.
SC spews out some random stuff on how he wants us to guess who he bought, which is pointless - it's not even enjoyable or using much ingame content.
FL wrote:So, rather than raise town chances, you'd rather force guessing. Good show. I think I'll Unvote, Vote Strangercoug
FL once again notes this.
SC wrote:Sometimes I love being a little screwball xD
This reads heavily to me of a scum who has been caught trying to do something illogical. The most common scum reaction to this is to blame it on being illogical.
SC wrote:I'll give a hint as to who I took with me, though: I'm modding a Mish Mash game they're in together.
Here's the last point that leads me to suspect SC - he basically gives us the names at the end. I guess he doesn't want to be "a little screwball" anymore. Classic confronted scum behavior - he first redirects the attack by stating that he is being illogical on purpose as town, and then fixes it as quickly as possible to get out of the spotlight.

I think someone's turned traitor already.

M4yhem wrote:Well, I've been in one complete game with him (and am in several ongoing) so I wouldn't say I know him in and out.

The fact that two others think BM will turn does kind of back up my gut feeling. I'd like to know their reasoning.

Also, if a player is seen as likely to turn, does that make them more or less likely to actually do it?
This is my thoughts exactly. I'm bound to be strung up pretty quickly, and tbh, i'd rather be lynched as town than lynched as scum.

So i'm sticking around for now.

M4yhem's logic is inconsistent and screwy. As such,

I really dont think anyone has converted yet. If someone has converted already either :
a) he's dumb.
b) he's crazy.
People likely to turn scum wont convert at the first opportunity. They'll be town until necessary.
This doesnt apply to chaotic players.
I feel good with lynching the potential players until something really scummy happens.

His logic has been screwy, but consistently so.

I suspect it's just his playstyle - I read one game with him in it, but I don't remember which one or what he did in it.

I don't like this vote - mostly because you're voting for M4's "screwy logic" of voting you.

Crazy is pretty harsh. :D

A better option would be:

b). Winning is not their first priority.

Perhaps they just really want to be scum. Perhaps they think screwing with us would be fun. We don't really know.

And also, turning now does have advantages - being Mafia is roughly superior to being Mafia-Ally and according to you, only "crazy" or "dumb" people convert this early, so they will be at less risk than it would appear.

I would like to stick with looking at people who probably have already converted - it is very possible that there have been a few.
