I'm pondering that after he saw this:
he couldn't resist setting it up that way. There's a 50-50 chance of that from where I'm sitting.In post 3732, saulres wrote:Tierce and I can call each other scum while zach-scum goes on to win
I'm also wondering about this:
Theoretically we could all just not vote forever until he breaks down and tells us who the scum is just to end it.In post 1, Kublai Khan wrote:The game is in LYLO and will continue as long as necessary.
Let's try something.

Okay, I'm not a troll and neither is Tierce. So explain to me how you're not scum, Zach?*

Hm. Given what I know, your claim is very plausible. plausible. Given my role PM, the way the town win condition is worded, and the fact that I can't see scum making that claim risking that the setup could involve a town PR...
Now the only question is,
Tierce, whyaren'tyou the scum?
pedit: Whoa, get called away to work in the middle of the post. No, Tierce, lynching Zach isnotthe way to go if you're town. Town would look at the things at their VT role (as I did), the wording of the town win condition ("dead", not "lynched"), and come to my conclusion that he's telling the truth.

Yes! I figured it out. We're playing SS3.
I was so bummed when I got a VT role, having seen KK's first 3-player Micro. When you made your claim I had to wiki it, because even though I've heard the term before I didn't really know the role. Then I got confused because from what I read, if you were telling the truth, you'd have to die, meaning there'd be a period of time, short though it was, that there'd be just me and scum, and that would satisfy the scum wincon. So I checked their wincon and that's when I realized the wording of my wincon was off -- it says "dead", not "lynched". Meaning there's another way to kill the scum, meaning your claim, along with the SS3 link, and my VT role PM, works. That meant Tierce was the scum.
And was I shocked to see her vote you right off the bat like that, instead of taking time to think it through. If she's "inclined to think that saul is scum" then she should have voted for me, not for you."SAULRES you are THE man! Fav mod eva, no contest!" - Bert; "Saulres is a fantastic mod, if he is running a game everyone needs to join it." - FuDuzn

Pshaw I read the other game, but not the ruleset. So yeah. AndI'm town, but I didn't feel voting zach off the bat was a good idea until I did more research into the role.
But his not hammering me tells me I'm right.
Now either go to sleep or come up with a good reason that I'm scum.
Zach, here's some more: Look at -- oh hell I'm not going to link it it's on the previous page. I was speculating Tierce and I were both town from my first post, while she was asking you and me to crossvote.

I'll respond to everything else through the day, because I have a busy one and there's a lot. But I do want to respond to this:
Given that I'm a VT, yes, the idea crossed my mind that if we're not playing that setup above then the next most likely case is me vs a town supersaint and a scum supersaint. That would be an interesting setup. That's why I asked if you were a supersaint; if you said you were, I would unvote and ask you both to vote each other, and then convince me why the other one is the scum.In post 56, Tierce wrote:saulres is scum and believes both of us are super saints, so his only solutions, in his PoV, are to have Zach/I hammer each other--he has to vote first, or the first vote has to be a self-vote with him not voting.
And if you remember Animal Rescue, you'll remember that if I had stuck to my "guess the KK setup" instead of letting the SK sway me from that, we town would have won. So Iwillstick to trying to figure out the setup in a 3-person game with one VT and one claimed supersaint, thank you very much."SAULRES you are THE man!

In post 65, Tierce wrote:I said nothing about "figuring out the setup"In post 55, Tierce wrote:I know you go on wild speculation as Town, but why would you suggest KK is doing something like that?
You don't see the fun in a setup of a town supersaint, a scum supersaint, and a third person trying to figure out which one's telling the truth?
I'm not ruling Zach out as scum. I'd like to see him do some scumhunting or pushing of issues. He has a fear of hammering you because of your softclaim, that I can buy, but he had the opportunity to quickhammer in 32,before you made it, and didn't do so. So yes, I could see him being a scum supersaint.
pedit: No meanness read into it, so no worries. Especially as I'm not "styling" my play after anybody.
ppedit: I was kind of wondering that too. Which is why I was hoping Tiercewouldclaim supersaint, that makes it easy."SAULRES you are THE man! Fav mod eva, no contest!" - Bert; "Saulres is a fantastic mod, if he is running a game everyone needs to join it." - FuDuzn

The problem with this plan is, from my POV it guarantees a town win for Tierce to be your hammerer. Which is what she was arguing for me to be the hammerer. And since I'm leaning towards her being the scum, I'm unlikely to agree to vote you. And I'm sure she'll say the same thing.
This is why I think it's so important for Tierce to claimwhatevershe is, and I'll unvote her if that's what it takes. I just don't accept that Tierce is a VT also.
pedit: Exactly.
ppedit: He hasn't done any scumhunting. He's just riding the claim. That's not solid enough to be conftown.
pppedit: Then town loses."SAULRES you are THE man! Fav mod eva, no contest!" - Bert; "Saulres is a fantastic mod, if he is running a game everyone needs to join it." - FuDuzn

Nope. It does work, because the town one still needs to convince the other townie which one to vote for. That's what LyLo's all about.In post 79, Tierce wrote:By the way, scum supersaint and Town supersaint don't work because one would just hammer each other for a Town autowin.
pedit: Awesome. So do it. Otherwise it's just lip service. Scum could easily conceive a plan like that hoping it makes them look townie enough to have the supersaint pick the other person."SAULRES you are THE man!

Numbering these so I can get to them in some sort of organized fashion. I apologize for splitting it up over multiple posts but today I just can't do it all at once.

But, by the way, this is kind of offensive to suggest regardless of whether you believe it or not (if you're scum, it's obvious pretense). Mods are not supposed to set up things like this on purpose. Don't suggest they do, that's gaming the mod and questioning their moral code.

Let's try something.
VOTE: Kublai Khanwasfunny when I read it, but--you read the previous 3p game. Like with the wincon bit, it was in the rules in that game as well. You said you didn't read the rules in the previous game, but it's a3pgame and you know there is a scum player due to said wincon and the fact that we are in LyLo, so we can't be "all Town", as you say you wondered. I know you're a rational person--speculation is not discordance, but in this game you have rather dissonant frames of mind. Did you or did you not know this was in LyLo/there is a scum player? Did you or did you not know that the wincon is the same as the previous game, so super saints are irrelevant to it because that's how KK writes things? The lack of knowledge makes no sense from a Town player who read the 3p Daycop game and who wants to verify things before making assumptions on roles. You're pretending not to know things to try and fish information out of Zach. However, I will grant you that I don't think you were familiar with super saints before this game, though you are familiar with vengekill roles.
Ramble ramble ramble etc. My point when I started this paragraph was that voting the mod is a cheap Towntell. My main point of contention here is: you were in Maf.Triplicate, you know I don't go on those things as evidences of Townieness, so it kind of doubles around and I go back to not thinking there's a lot of scum intent there. But it still looks fake, like you have nothing better to do yet are afraid to admit it, and chose to make that post out of a feeling of awkwardness.
Three
I expect you mean hammeringIn post 38, saulres wrote:But his not hammering me tells me I'm right.me, notyou, but:
Claiming supersaint is suboptimal (Zach appears to have wondered if it was an iffy claim to make, if you look at Post 12) and you're trying to paint me as scummy for a theory point that is on the Super Saint wiki page, which you probably read if you were going through SS3. It doesn't matter if you "knew" the role or not, you're calling me scum for making a decision...too quickly?You do know I read a lot of games, right? Let's add that one of my first IRC mafia games was SS3 and I was the super saint. Also Open 390, with the Brass and Shrapnel setup. I don't have to wait on you to know things I've known for a year and a half about the SS/vengeful role.
I know it's not optimal to claim vengeful, and therefore have no interest in claiming or counterclaiming or co-claiming oranythingin these circumstances. Consider the hypothetical scenario in which I'm a super saint, Zach is scum and knows there is a super saint in the game. He can self-vote on page 1 without worry, because neither of us is the kind to trollhammer as Town. He claims super saint, and if he's lucky, you either blurt out you are a VT, or I counterclaim. Then he knows you have to be the lynch, therefore won't hammer the real super saint (me). (Hypothetical scenario 2 is Zach is a Jester, and wants to be lynched (SS would be an AWESOME claim in that case), but regardless of my role, he can't be a Jester because it's not a Mafia-aligned role and it's not present in the win conditions.)
Outside any hypothetical scenario, I'm not going to be lynched in this game (you are NOT going to add to my two mislynches), and neither are you. Zach is the lynch, and he gets to pick who hammers him after self-voting. And I promise I won't laugh at you for self-voting even if you're scum, Zach~

I think saul is scum, but it's up to Zach. #YOLetc.
pedit: Man I'm tired of typing "pedit" LOL.
But if one supersaint self-votes, and if it's the town one, the scum doesn't hammer. And if it's the scum one, then -- but if the scum doesn't self-vote then -- oh. I see. Bad me

Responding to Tierce pointOne
You say you see no game-relevant information for that? That's correct, there wasn't. That's 9 posts into a game where we can't RVS, and you had only sent out one throwaway line. Until you were also talking there wasn't much I felt I could do as a VT, so I was having conversation for conversation's sake. Much like Zach's first post (3) and your first post (5). Nothing game-relevant there either.
Suggesting that I was offensive to KK for suggesting it? Let's see, post-game, if he felt that way. I think he saw where I was coming from and it wasn't an issue for him. But nice of you to try to paint me as "immoral" and "offensive" -- that's a form of AtE."SAULRES you are THE man!

Hm, okay. You were criticizing me for suggesting he would do something immoral, and linked it to me modding, and I took that as tying me to immortality. You did call me "offensive" though.In post 100, Tierce wrote:I didn't call you "immoral", I calleddeciding the setup without randomnessimmoral.
And I know you won't claim. That's fine. But could you please do something for me, which I do for you? Could you try to see how it looks, with me town, frommyPOV? Why shouldIdo what you suggest? You're more persuasive than I am; as a scum tactic you could suggest what you did if you thought you'd be more likely to convince Zach that I'm scum than I would be to convince him you are.
pedit: zach: Why?
Tierce likes to pull up history all over the site. I don't have that kind of memory. Tierce makes very convincing (not necessarily good) arguments for me being scumall the time, and I don't recalleverflipping scum when she's done so.

Tierce pointTwo
If I distilled this correctly, your claim here is that my voting for the mod is scummy because it looks fake and I had nothing better to do. Mea cupla to the latter, as expressed earlier.
As to the digression of reading KK's other game, yes I read it (but not the rules). It had three players with the same ability, even though there wasno pointin giving the scum a cop role. So I expected something funny in this one too. And I got VT. Big disappointment, but there has to be funninesssomewherein it, and there wasn't enough to go on then. So whynotvote the mod? Or did you want me to come out and say "Hey, um, can everybody claim or something? Because I got a lame role and I want to see what you got."
pedit: (Reallygetting tired of "pedit"): LOL on my typo. As to your final statement, yes, yes, you could be right, and if we're both town then Zach is really enjoying watching this. But the key thing is, the decision to vote for Zachisin my hands. I can't stop you both from voting me (giving scum the win) but Icanstopmyselffrom guaranteeing a loss if I don't think he's scum.
p. p. e. dit. What about the possibility she's not claiming in order to get you to think she's a supersaint and you'd lose by hammering? Seems solid scum strategy to me. And of course she'd have to come up with a believable reason for it."SAULRES you are THE man!

My point is, if she's scum, then her goal is to get you to pick me to hammer you, and to convince you to vote me when I don't. If she claims anything, she's reducing the chances of that happening, because what claim could she make that you'd believe, or that wouldn't add confusion? (Don't answer that, just think about it.) Better to stay mum and just try to argue more effectively than I.

Tierce pointThree
I was calling you scum for voting zach right off the bat and setting me up to be the one to hammer. Reason: I know I'm town. If you're scum, you know that too, so you placed the first vote on him and began building up a case that I should be the one to hammer. If you're town, you would have tried to convince me to go along with the plan. You didn't do that, you're just trying to shove it down our throats. Still haven't done it.WHY SHOULD TOWN-ME FOLLOW YOUR PLAN?
pedit: Yes I'm afraid to lynch Zach because he's a claimed supersaint and I could lose if I do so.You could be the scum. Why would I just throw the game away if I don't think Zach is the scum?
peepee edit: I've given you the option of me unvoting if you agree to claim afterwards. You keep rejecting it. ScumZach couldn't quickhammer you if there aren't any votes on you."SAULRES you are THE man!

No no no. Stop dodging my main point.
My main point is this: I am town. I have Person A trying to push through a lynch of either me, or a lynch of Person B, basedonlyon a claim that Person A is town. Why shouldanytown in my position believe Person A's claim?
That is what you're asking me to do. And when I say that, you say "No, it doesn't matter, because that's what's going to happen." Meaning you're trying to shove this down Zach's throat.
Your plan will bring you victory no matterwhatyour alignment. It's not a town plan. It's not a scum plan. It's ananybodyplan. So it holds no credibility.

This explains where you're coming from very well. But it's just reducing the game to a numbers game, and I'm not willing to go along with it if he picks me. If you really want to go that route, then you should just hammer him and get your 50%."SAULRES you are THE man!

Zach,
Thinking this over more, this why I currently think Tierce is scum: your posts read genuine to me coming from a townie with that role. I don't feel they're scum-motivated.
Tierce, on the other hand... You self-voted and I didn't hammer, then it was her turn to post. She's told us she's familiar with SS3 so that setup must have crossed her mind. So...
If she's scum, she realized she couldn't hammer for the win and so had to come up with something that would give her a chance to get you or me lynched. She came up with a plan to give her a 50% chance of winning, especially if she could make me look scummy. She's done the latter before (when we were both town) and if you want I'll find the games and link you to them.
If she's town, the proper play would be to convince everyone that she's town andthensuggest what she did. But instead, she's trying to shove it through.
At this point you're leaning scum on me because you can see a town motivation behind Tierce's refusal to claim. Can you see no scum motivation for it?"SAULRES you are THE man! Fav mod eva, no contest!" - Bert; "Saulres is a fantastic mod, if he is running a game everyone needs to join it." - FuDuzn

I hear you, I really do. The reason I say it gives you a win is because of the way you're pushing me as scum. If I lynch him, you win no matter what your alignment.
And I've said that I won't lynch him if I think you're the scum. Because that would be playing against my wincon: If you're scum, then my hammering him causes town to lose. So if I don't, then you and he are going to vote me, and town loses. This is why it's not a good plan. I'd rather forget about the super-saint claim and win this by scumhunting, not by randomly rolling dice on a player whose alignment isn't known to me. There's a lot of discussion and things to question and challenge. So I hope Zach starts doing that.Thatwould be playing LyLo like I'm used to.
In case it's still not clear: The difference between your plan and regular LyLo is you're saying "Whoever Zach picks is dying" when Zach isnotconfirmed town. In normal LyLo there's crossvoting which either results in a scum win or a conftown. That's not the situation we have if he picks me and I don't vote him."SAULRES you are THE man!

Two reasons.In post 125, Tierce wrote:Why are you trying to associate scummy intent with an action that you know is null?
1) As you said, I win if he picks you. It's in my best interest, if he's town, to make every argument I can that you are the scum.
2) I feel the way you presented the plan, not the plan itself, was not a town way of doing so. If I had thought of that plan first, I would have suggested it differently than you did. And since I'm town, I think my way is "the" town way and your way is not.
Having said that, the more this discussion goes on, and Zach just sits back, the more I'm starting to think we're doing our usual dance and he's the scum laughing. But I'm not sold on that yet. We (town we, not you-and-me-we) need him to start participating more though.
(Oh, and yes, I've seen you play this way, or similarly at least (in my poor memory) back in PARANOIA Mafia. You were presenting plans and all there IIRC, and you were scum.)
pedit (you're kidding, even now too?): Oh hi Zach. Yes, that's corerct, but I really hope you're looking at my reasons for saying that. It'snota scumclaim, as Tierce is trying to present it as. It's a disagreement on the strategical value of doing so."SAULRES you are THE man!

If I came up with it? By playing long enough to hopefully establish myself as town, or to get a scumread on you. Then presenting it.In post 128, Zachrulez wrote:How would you have presented the plan then?
That's not what I'm doing there.In post 128, Zachrulez wrote:So you're going to try to pressure me to act fast, rather than taking my time to make the most informed decision possible?
Because I'm being asked to vote someone I may not have a scumread on. That's underIn post 128, Zachrulez wrote:How is me picking which one of you hammers me any different than me choosing which one of you to hammer if you guys were in fact cross voting?mycontrol. Being mislynched because Idon'tdo that isn't under my control.
Because I don't see the town motivation in presenting it the way you did. I can see town presenting the argument, I don't see it being presented that way, no matter who you are. It's taking a mafia theory question and basing the play of this game on one viewpoint in that discussion. If we were having this discussion in GD I'd be presenting the same viewpoint, but there's no risk of losing there. There is here.
??? I don't believe I said that.In post 129, Tierce wrote:Please tell me how this plan has any hidden parts
Um, yes you are? Saying "If he picks you and you don't vote him then I'm voting you" is equivalent to saying "If he picks you and you don't vote him then you're scum."

Sigh.
You're asking me to hammer him if he picks me. The only reason I would have to do so is if I think he is scum, because as town, it is not in my best interest to hammer him yet sinceIn post 131, Tierce wrote:Why would I want, as Town, to try and build Towncred before I present a plan that I know is optimal? So that I have a better chance of convincing people to follow me? I don't need it, because I know that the numbers show that this is optimal, and more importantly, I don't need to build up Towncred.youcould be the scum. If you convinced me you were town, though, then Iwouldhammer him, because he'd be the scum. That's why it's important to have towncred before asking the other person to agree to the plan.
That's not what I was doing there. Here, let me bring the whole thing in:In post 131, Tierce wrote:You've asked me to hammer Zach twice now.
I wasn't pressuring him to act fast in the part he was responding to, and I wasn't pressuring you to do anything there either.In post 128, Zachrulez wrote:

Because I've seen you do it as scum, so I can't assume you're town just because you're doing it again.In post 131, Tierce wrote:how is my plan-crafting similar to Paranoia in particular
The back-and-forth with you? It's really not, no, it's defending my decision because the last I heard Zach was thinking I'm more likely to be scum and I'm not ready to vote him.In post 131, Tierce wrote:None of this is really scumhunting.
I'm trying not to have to weep. But if he's town and he picks you, you will be weeping.In post 132, Tierce wrote:you are still the lynch.And then Zach flips scum and me and I weep over my carefully nurtured "Town LyLos won: 0" in the post-game."SAULRES you are THE man!

Zach, is there any point in me responding to Tierce, or if I don't vote you are you going to vote me?
Two quick things:
^This.In post 143, Tierce wrote:
No? He was saying that Town would lose in reply to my #75, which was "we'll lynch you if you don't hammer Zach". That is not a perspective slip.In post 141, Zachrulez wrote:There's a lot of other points I can make, but when it comes right down to it this is what bothers me the most.
The implication of the statement seems to betray that he knows my alignment to me, despite all of his claims in further posts that he hasn't ruled me out.
And, this, which I just don't get:
Up until just now it's been "If you don't hammer you're the lynch". What changed?In post 145, Tierce wrote:I have to see whether I would be comfortable about lynching saul if he doesn't hammer you

Well. Okay then.In post 156, Zachrulez wrote:Saul hammers me, or he dies.
So Zach's not going to change his mind. Tierce isn't going to self-vote, so I'm not going to get her lynched, and if Zach's the scum I'm going to have to vote for him anyway.
Really hoping the latter...

My problem is, I'm not convincing enough. I said as much in-game. I don't know how to improve that skill.
Looking forward to Tierce's honest opinions about my arguments now

This is the part I still don't understand. I know I can't be sure, but when I'm leaning so heavily one way, how is it pro-town to say "Well I think you're town but since the scum suggested this plan I'll go ahead and slit our throats just because"?In post 170, Zachrulez wrote:The pro-town thing is to be willing to hammer me because you can't be sure I'm town.
I was quite honest in my assessment of how I think that plan should have been played as town.
p. f***king. edit.: Tierce, you didn't convince me you were town. Zach did a couple of scummier things towards the end there which made it more likely to me that he was the scum.

Giddy?
I had considered unvoting Tierce a few times, but rejected it each time for -- I don't know what. It just didn't feel right.
Also I took you at your word, Zach, after confirming that you would've voted for me if didn't vote for you. In hindsight I absolutely should have taken my own advice: "You don't vote for someone you don't think is scum in LyLo" but I was also looking at the flipside of your comment: I couldn't be sure you weren't scum.

If you don't mind some elaboration on this? I didn't feel I was mudslinging, and all my arguments were honest.In post 171, Tierce wrote:mudslinging/hypocrisy never ever helps you as Town, because it's not honest or transparent.
I do agree optimal play for town is to have the claimed SS self-vote and the other player hammer. But I couldn't figure out how to get you to do that"SAULRES you are THE man! Fav mod eva, no contest!" - Bert; "Saulres is a fantastic mod, if he is running a game everyone needs to join it." - FuDuzn
