[Ginngie]

[Ginngie]

Role correlates strongly with alignment

this was used by me

to almost lose or we did lose the last game by RC uPick

so sit down and listen to elders on this one

[Ginngie]

I can't believe that you don't lie as scum

Exercise.

Find a single instance of me lying about my role as scum.
I'll help.
Here's a slightly incomplete list of my recentish scumgames in the last few years. (Highlight: claiming godfather as the godfather, but saying I was a town godfather.)

In every one of those, I claimed my real role (often with real results) or the mod-provided safeclaim.

Exercise.
Find a single instance of me mentioning lying as a pro-scum strategy.
Exercise.
Try to compile the NUMEROUS times--both as town and scum--I have gone on record to state that lying as scum is incredibly stupid because the best weapon is the truth; if you have the truth on YOUR side as scum, you have the advantage over the town because you're being sincere, you're being genuine, you don't have to lie, and that fools tonereaders because by their metric you're tripping all the townbells because you're not actually lying.

I don't lie as scum, because lying as scum would be playing against wincon. It's not that I

can't

lie as scum. It's not that I have a trust tell about lying as scum. It's just that ten times out of ten. It is always tremendously stupid to lie as scum. And within my interests to tell the truth as scum.

Lying as scum gives the town the win.
If you disagree, feel free to try it out yourself. When you next roll scum, try lying about your role, especially in a theme game.
See how well it turns out for you.

you literally change one iota of your scum gameplay to give you the edge each game, just worry about play and not meta boo

[Ginngie]

I don't think you understand quite how I correlate roles with alignments

you have horrid skills then

[Ginngie]

mastina just fucking gladiates any guilties that are claimed by someone.

Best way to check them

[Ginngie]

Will read later.

VOTE: RC for starting a game a month later.

BABE

I HAVEN'T SEEN YOU IN FOREVER

[Ginngie]

chick and jjh are the best votes right now

[Ginngie]

Explain why you think either of us are good votes

I'll take

VOTE: Ginngie

if you're gonna take the path of least resistance

[Ginngie]

i wont be talking to scumreads this game btw

[Ginngie]

It's kinda annoying because I'm waiting on a few people to respond to me about things and now something I want to talk about pops up and Ginngie is just gonna be Ginngie

kinda want to sig this

and theres 80 posts plus, more than half is fluff and the rest deals heavily with mechanics

oh and there are cringy posts

Okay nos you better not be scum because this is like, the most endearing interaction I've ever had with you and I think when we've played I usually just lazily (and incorrectly) scumread you but I want you to be town rn

like really shitty acting like you dont know something

chick has been lackluster and mastina affirmed my vote as a good one, so I have more faith that it's a good vote.

Oh btw jjh voting me instantly once I scumread him also makes his slot look worse but okee

[Ginngie]

That was a quick change from not explaining to starting to explain.

i said i wouldn't talk to jjh and im not

[Ginngie]

I got Barbie girl from chick

Don’t really understand why that means anything

[Ginngie]

Do you have a problem with me asking you this? I don’t see why? I haven’t asked you about Vax. I only asked you and LA about RVS votes.

No. I'm genuinely curious though why you're concerned about an RVS vote.

I’m always curious about ANY votes on me. However, leaving an RVS on someone close to deadline could possibly mean something. I make it a rule, to never ignore votes on me and I still waiting on Lady Angel’s response to that.

Curiositity does not necessarily = being concerned.

Speaking of, Nero’s point about Vax not having much of a reaction to votes, is making me wonder about that too. Your take?

innocent children

[Ginngie]

VOTE: innocent children even

[Ginngie]

dont vote mastina

im sheeping her this game

[Ginngie]

Ginngie/mastina do not feel like the same alignment or at the very least not svs based on posts like the above. One is hoodwinking the other my spideysenses tell me.

mastina is town

[Ginngie]

VOTE: Wh4t

it says goon in his name so

[Ginngie]

nero's town

[Ginngie]

pagetop

[Ginngie]

I think Vecna is town. I feel like that post restriction once demonstrated enough is a good excuse for scum to lurk. But Vecna is present and keeps posting. Nothing solid but putting Vecna in my town pile for today.

wat

[Ginngie]

sup

if im honest this is my first day sober since my last post

[Ginngie]

actually been like a week woops

[Ginngie]

idunno why I feel it to be sus that Kuri hasn't said hi to me

[Ginngie]

I’m only gonna be sober for another few hours

I’m town

Pulling mastina card

Daycop mastina so I’m confirmed town

[Ginngie]

pork or maid today

tell me why not one

[Ginngie]

VOTE: Vecna

[Ginngie]

Why no lynch? It only helps scum control the game.

stop with the blanket statements on how alignments play

you're gonna see town do something you saw on the "how to catch scum" wiki and be like BUT ITS WHAT SCUM DOES

do something better with your time like

explain why pushing a no lynch given the circumstances is scummy

[Ginngie]

Because most people in the games I've played so far said that no lynch is scummy because it denies town information?

About to hit you with those Big Fax

Old Guard no lynch was a common thing discussed

wasn't viewed as scummy.

If your reads are sheeping the crowd mentality, you'll be easily manipulated fam.


What do you think Lady Angel's motive for no lynching is?

Remember, if you lynch town, that's closer to scum's wincoin of having half the town dead.

So why would Lady Angel, as scum, want to deny the chance to kill a townie and instead prolong the game?

[Ginngie]

I swear to god I can't wait to put my suit back on

[Ginngie]

okay now I'm happy

[Ginngie]

To allow the scum to control the game?

Besides, if she lead a lynch on townie, it would be a death sentence for her as scum. It's easier for scum to organize a no lynch every day and then have free kills each night.

thats a blanket statement

Look at it from this angle

She would want to push a no lynch as scum to get heat off of a teammate.

So who is Lady Angel trying to protect from being run up by promoting a no lynch?

That's the motivation type stuff I want to see you try and figure out.

Also realize your statement is contradictory.

If you have the notion that it's scummy to push a no lynch and everyone views it to be scummy, then by definition, it would be hard for scum to push a no lynch since "everyone knows its a scum move," therefore it would never go through.

Thats the issue with blanket statements, I can argue circular logic forever.

The motivation thing tho, that changes every game and isn't circular.

So who is Lady Angel trying to protect from being run up by promoting a no lynch?

[Ginngie]

LOOOOOOOL

[Ginngie]

Wait wtf

RC promised that this game wouldn't feature Ginngie faking guilties on town and if we believe Mastina then there's literally a Ginngie role that fakes guilties on town

wait what

[Ginngie]

VOTE: mastina

Kurio and I are now confirmed town

No more discussion let’s go into night

[Ginngie]

kurio is confirmed town now because of the loyal modifier
