A voting bloc is when people basically join together and collectively vote together. It keeps a group cohesive and increases the stability and power of the group. Voting blocs are actually usually very good ideas: that is, when the players in the voting bloc trust each other / have townreads on each other.
The reason this voting bloc is retarded is because the players in the bloc don't yet know anything about their alignment so they don't have townreads on each other.
Kondi, I would think this bloc was dumb even if you had included me in it.SlappyKrust- MattP

when are voting blocs not retarded...seems like a way for one person to increase the power of their vote arbitrarily. If everyone makes their decision on their own it seems more likely they will make the right one...wisdom of crowds anybody?
Ok, let me give you an example of when voting blocs are useful:
There are 9 players left. 2 scum. Five players are practically identified town. With their votes scattered the 2 scum can easily use their two votes to greatly influence the lynch. If just three town vote the wrong way the scum can tag on and cause a mislynch. However, if the 5 town vote together then even if the two unconfirmed town vote wrong it doesn't matter, the mafia can't control the lynch (since they'll only have 4 of the 9 votes).
It basically can prevent mislynches and greatly hinders the mafia by making their vote less powerful.SlappyKrust- MattP

yeah but at the same time it seems to me like if you think the ppl in the bloc are town, and everyone does, they wont get voted for anyway...idk still seems dumb to me...
The point of the voting bloc is not to prevent people in the bloc from getting lynched as much as it is to make the scum's vote less powerful.SlappyKrust- MattP

Uhmm, Matt I think toning a bit down is a good idea.
I know your sudden anger was caused by Kondi saying: "Mattp is probably scum."
It was a light accusation, still early in the game and no reason to go so hot-headed from the get go.
It was actually spurred by the stupid idea, and it was geared at the idea, not him. I don't think I ever insulted him rather than the idea (which is new for me, I think acing my final today made me a better person).
p-edit: People have been replaced before when they barely had a chance to post. If enough people want him out he can be kicked out.SlappyKrust- MattP

I don't really consider Trollie's buddying of me a scumtell. I think he's just excited to be playing his first game with me. He was going on and on in RL about how excited he was to be playing a game with me. I think he should stop buddying me, but I wouldn't consider that a tell.
I do think I have some insight into his mind since I know him very well and that keeping him for awhile would be a good move for town.SlappyKrust- MattP

@MattP I'd say let Trollie fight his own battles, you aren't helping and you don't even know he's not scum (unless, of course, you are). Now for you. Why did you wait to vote for Kondi until after someone else did? Your reasonings for the vote weren't affected by someone else's votes, you just didn't want to make the first move. Also I can't help but feel you're using Trollie's puppydog love for you to make your own arguments stronger.
We voted for Kondi at the same minute. The only reason they got their vote through first was because I was typing out an actual reason for my vote.
I probably am in some corner of my mind proud of the fact that I have a puppydog in the game. It boosts my ego.
I don't understand your point about my arguments being stronger. It's good for me that my arguments are stronger, it helps me lynch scum if people are listening to me more.SlappyKrust- MattP

Sorry Trollie, I have to take a stance on you as scum.
This post is incredibly scummy. It is a baseless attack on kondi. It's an Argument of Repetition since I already said this in a more constructive way and it's also opportunistic piggybacking on a wagon on kondi.
It's basically just a post that get's people to want to vote kondi with no constructive reasoning.SlappyKrust- MattP

I missed this. I like scum accusations that serve certain purposes. Examples: Pushes on players, intelligent accusations, etc.
I don't like scum accusations that are opportunistic or questionable.

vijay, absolutely wrong. There are many reasons to ask someone to clarify on a town read:
1) To see if they're buddying
2) It fosters discussion
3) People explain scumreads, they should also explain townreads
4) general interest about my meta. I like to know what makes me look like scum and I like to know what makes me look like town. That's how you improve.SlappyKrust- MattP

↑ vijay2vasandani wrote:#4 should ONLY be asked post game. Everybody has conflicting interests in this game.
1. How does knowing the reason change whether he's buddying you or not?
2. Fosters discussion about YOU, who is town for the other person. Also known as wasting time because you aren't looking for scum.
3. Um no, not necessarily. Besides it's at the discretion of the guy making the reads.
Wanna try again?
1) Knowing someone has logical reasoning means that they are not buddying for the sake of buddying
2) Not true. Someone giving shitty reasons for a townread can foster discussion about THEM.
3) Your reasoning for this one is not even logical so I'll just assume that you know I'm right.
p-edit: Trollie, vijay is probably town. Posting succinct, thoughtful posts and pressuring a player (me).SlappyKrust- MattP

2. Um shitty reasons? Anybody can say gut and they'll get away with it. There is no "shitty reason" for a townread, unless it's something like "he isn't scum".
3. Well it wasnt a logical argumentive point. My accusation was that questioning townreads on yourself is scummy. You say scumreads and townreads must be explained. Don't see the connection.
Ah okay.
VOTE: Dark
Anybody who wants in the bloc can vote with us. But scumreads of people in the thing can't join. So sorry Matt. OOTN, who are your scumreads? We're taking the first three, with special preference to kondi, shotgun and Psyche. Reasons being that I can read those guys like a book a fair amount of the time, so finding the scum among us should be easy. Well everybody except for Psyche anyway.
1) Generalization = moot point
2) Once again you're making a generalization that everyone will say something unscummy. Clearly you don't understand scumslips
3) I firmly believe that all reads should be explained. You can disagree but I am sticking to my stance. And guess what? Next time you say someone is town I'll be the first person asking you why. Also (and I wasn't thinking this when I asked for elaboration but I think it's an interesting logical progression), if I know that someone is going to ask someone to elaborate a town read on me why wouldn't I do it myself?
I don't want to be in your bloc. The only player I have a townread on right now is you and you don't trust me so there is no point for me to be involved in a bloc.SlappyKrust- MattP

good point actually. one reason it might be bad though is if kondi is scum and has his two scum buddies in there...then scum gets 5 votes for the price of 3
I highly doubt kondi would take that gambit. If he did, once 2 of them were found out the third would be obvious.SlappyKrust- MattP

Read on Trollie:
Comes in very confused asking a lot of questions about what voting blocs are. Seems to be a clueless newbie.
+scumpoints for reasons I already explained
+townpoints for his pressure on dr and not backing down when people started labeling him scum. Seemes like persistent attempt at scumhunting.
↑ TheTrollie wrote:
yes...im a bit confused by whats been going on with the bloc thing so im not ready to vote
+scumpoints
This is a lie. You were not confused enough to unvote an say that there are "bigger scum out there on your list (paraphrased)" so if there are bigger scum then you should have had an idea of who to vote. I don't think it's scummy that you didn't automatially redirect your vote, I think your excuse is dishonest and that's what's scummy.
↑ TheTrollie wrote:
p-edit: now that mattp voted kassadin...should i do it too? i guess so, right shot?
Null. Purely emotional. Can't derive anything from it, I disagree with you about this dr, it's not a scumtell.

Null. Seems genuine, especially looking back at his confusion about the voting bloc. He probably is this confused and just requires clarification

Kondi was not being snarky first of all; show me this snarkiness. Second, nothing merits propaganda or argument of repetition.
Overall: scum-leaning

I'm not going to quote posts by darkling. However, here is my read:
His reads are useless. It's a lot of fluff. It seems like he is trying to seem helpful. I was not moved/swayed by anything he has said this game. Also it reads overzealous scum that wants to appear helpful since there was no reason at that point of the game that one should feel compelled to post their reads in such length like that.
Also, I am against posting reads like that because it basically tells scum who to target.
He is basically trying to seem like he is doing stuff when he is not.
I like his arguments against the voting bloc in his last post, he brings up a good point about scum in the bloc.
He hasn't posted much content besides his reads and his most recent defense. He reads null-scum as well.
I see the cases on both Trollie and Darkling.
Actually, change of plans.

- Honestly i cant get a good scum read on anyone. There are a couple lurkers, a candidate for a PL, and several cases on several people. I can see making a PL lynch on Kass, but i see a couple things wrong with that possibility. 1. We don't know what alignment he is yet ( Im leaning Town, but its probably still too early to be sure. ), 2. I feel like we should make some better cases to lynch a better candidate. It is still just the beginning of Day 1 and i feel like we should focus on building cases on people and trying to find scum rather than Policy Lynch someone who has been a bad player in previous games. Though i did not see him play before, so maybe someone could elaborate on how annoying or how much of a troll he is?
At this point in the game i am still trying to build some cases on others and i feel like we should poke some lurkers. Mafia usually hide somewhere among the lurkers and they sometimes do it very well. It is easy to forget about these people during hot debates between others. The one lurker who comes to mind is Psyche. He hasn't actually posted anything game related yet and his last posts was during the confirmation stage. I am going to vote for him because i want to put some pressure on the lurkers, and see what he has to say.
Vote: Psyche
1) He doesn't have any scum reads (non-committal and unhelpful: +scumpoints)
2) He just voted for someone who hasn't posted when we are ONE day into the game, BS vote +scum
3) Venmar, I already asked about Kass and it was explained, you're not reading the threadSlappyKrust- MattP

1) He doesn't have any scum reads because he never actually posted. He is either completely inactive or lurking. I was trying to make Psyche talk by pressuring him so we can actually get a read on him, town or scum.
2) Not sure if your talking about me or Pysche, but Psyche has only made two posts this whole game. Both are during confirmation stage and before the game actually started. IF YOU ARE TALKING ABOTU ME, which i do assume you are, its true. However there have been over 230 posts, equaling almost over 10 pages. This is a lot of posts, and he has not participated in any of them.
3) In my posts i tried to explain why i think Policy Lynching is a bad idea. I am guessing you are saying i am not reading when you guys explained how he played? I will admit that i probably didn't read that part, but what i got was that he is largely unhelpful, a troll, and sometimes unreadable with unhelpful posts.
1) I was referring to you
2) I was referring to you, and no, your vote on Psyche is BS and is probscum looking for some way to seem townlike or just a useless vote.
3) Ok, so you're not reading the thread.
Lots o' scum reads today.SlappyKrust- MattP
