Hello, kmd, farside!
Hello VP Baltar, first I'm meeting you.

The RNGods hate me.

[Auro]

I think I'm susceptible to tracks from people who know me. I was considering for a little while No Kills for a few nights.

[Auro]

Just putting this out - I usually get extremely talkative as scum as the game progresses. I believe that constant talk is very beneficial.

[Auro]

Edit: Wait I just read farsides info. Ok first claim is gonna be a shit show lol. Pretend we don't know that.

Yes, perhaps we should avoid attention. I personally plan to go "hmmm" slightly reserved instead of CC'ing outright.

[Auro]

Each role PM was handcrafted? Aww.

[Auro]

We should probably leave Reck alone. There's a good chance we got that info to get us to NK him. Maybe he's PGO or something.

"The other PR won't function if targeted with the factional kill"

So it can't be a PGO, (or) we're safe from it at least with regards to the kill.

[Auro]

Vi, when you say every role except one is a Tracker, you do mean a pure Tracker, yes? Or that Tracking is one of their powers?

[Auro]

Your PM is also a little different from kmd's.

[Auro]

So, how much do you guys like playing scum?

[Auro]

So, how much do you guys like playing scum?

So much better than town. I feel more confident.

Awesome! this seems like a pretty stacked scum team, although I suppose any team in this p-list would be so.

What's a "Bit game"? I'm young blood and do not know

[Auro]

Having just finished a scum game that went to a LyLo where is had about a 5% chance of winning was kind of exhausting

I tried my hardest to overturn a 5% winning chance in my latest scumgame too. So at least it's fresh.

My usual town style is to hyperpost and aggressively push people. I was planning to tone it down and post only a few times a day instead, and be much more passive. I hope that works out.

[Auro]

I want to be the bus! I've never been bussed before. Plus I'll fight my lynch a lot, so you'll get some sweet sweet towncred.

[Auro]

If you guys want me to shitpost far lesser and play seriously I'll do that.

@farside: Yeah I feel ya.

[Auro]

Diverse abilities etc

[Auro]

Call me out on anything, push me as hard as you want to

[Auro]

Seems like I pivoted into serious play already, sigh. I'll try to shitpost more

[Auro]

The challenge is to charisma my way through nonetheless

[Auro]

But fine then: I'll only play seriously in that case, although I find that pretty boring.

[Auro]

I play all styles freely I'm pretty experienced at scum, not a newbie.

I don't want to make it harder for you guys is all. I know how to fine-tune my style in a way that garners townreads.

[Auro]

I had assumed that THIS large would be slow

[Auro]

Ok, guys, I'm planning to crumb my role with something like "seems to be moving slow, good, easier to keep track of things". You guys thing that's a good idea?

[Auro]

I don't feel like a fit for this game at all. :$ I'll try nonetheless.

So which townies do you think are the most dangerous? I think Llamarble is an easy N1 kill, since his claims about having a weak scum game are true?

[Auro]

Thanks I'll keep talking here and that'll keep me cheerful!

[Auro]

Exactly. I legit get a small feeling of comfort when I see one of you guys post here or the main thread.

I was actually waiting for someone to call me spammy lol, now I have a great excuse to not play to my town meta and lurk out!

[Auro]

Well in a normal playerlist I'd ignore that, but this game is largely for the older veteran players and I feel it's kind of rude to come in and spam. So I'd have tried to post less as either alignment (altho far easier as scum lol)

[Auro]

I thought I'll experiment with dense posts packed with content, streams of posts per day - I thjnk that should be alright, no?

Not just a check in.

[Auro]

I think the hardest thing about all us old folks is that most of us are kind of rusty at playing...and we all mostly like each other. Getting a real wagon going today is going to be a precarious venture for sure.

I did think the natural consequence for this was for a newer player to be lynched regardless.

[Auro]

Fake association building is my favorite! Any time someone accuses me of being scum with some town dude I start making things look ever so awkward

[Auro]

I think you guys might want to bus me sooner rather than later. I'm being attacked for not posting and also for posting, I'm not sure if it's in my hands lol.

[Auro]

What can I say, I'm a weird person

[Auro]

Lol Hoopla's posting is pleasantly hilarious.

[Auro]

Once per day

You know what they say... a wall-post a day keeps suspicious town away!

[Auro]

I like both players and I hope it doesn't, although Blair does have a point.

[Auro]

Good observation. I suppose he is the N1 kill, then.

[Auro]

The only PRs we have are trackers except one, and if he's IC, there can't be any doctors.

[Auro]

If the town lands on a mislynch without us today

This would be ideal for us. I'm sure town will want to "hunt on the wagon", which in my eyes is pretty outdated but whatever: and that would be amazing for us if we all managed to stay off of it.

Oh, thanks! This is *not* going how any of my scumgames go. As scum I usually just charisma my way through but of course I didn't expect that strategy to quite work out.

It's a pleasant surprise that Hoopla townread me for persisting with my style. I'm glad I made the call not to completely adapt to the game's idea of model town play.

I've been trying to avoid posting, yet I'm the top poster. Hmm.

[Auro]

This scum team looks highly competent. I hope I can do a lot of damage via fake association building before I go out.

[Auro]

There's really no reason for my wagon, so any defense or questioning I post is going to be seen as "see look at that scum flailing!"

Yeah it's kind of daft.

Every game I debate a case on me, forget my alignment - I'm "caught for the wrong reasons".

[Auro]

Sure - if I were you I'd go defend myself but I think it's a crappy situation either way. Let's see!

[Auro]

Don't worry about me I'll try turning on some of my charm. Seems like even Llamarble may come around on my slot.

Reckoner's a good N1 kill if we can, since his info about farside+Porkens is dangerous

[Auro]

There are a lot of players who will skate by this game with doing relatively little and get called town. It's partly why I stopped playing back in the day It's very annoying as either alignment.

Blair may be ill-suited for the game in that regard, but we shall see. I'm not sure why she hasn't let go of the Starbuck thing.

That's the beauty of the game it's totally possible to towntell just from a single post.

But yeah, for people regarded as competent scum life is hard

[Auro]

You guys can bus me hard if you wanna

[Auro]

I will never self hammer!

I'm going to drown everyone in WIFOM as I go down

[Auro]

I'll claim tracker early.

[Auro]

What's your plan? Should I join you?

[Auro]

Seems like people scumread big posts too

[Auro]

@VPB: perhaps you should claim town tracker right now.

[Auro]

If you claim at L-1 there's a possibility of quickhammer from a town tracker.

If you claim right now, it will instigate some discussion which will be a distraction for town.

[Auro]

If you claim right now, it will instigate some discussion which will be a distraction for town.

This is very important - I can counter-claim and hop on to you; and it'll be a general mess to the other town trackers. I'm sad that we're calling in this card this early, but still Do it!

[Auro]

you have to do it naturally though

[Auro]

Then Auro comes in. Auto is the REAL town tracker. Auro, VP is confirmed scum to you. He just claimed your role. Now you know who needs to be lynched

Yes - I won't be dramatic about it, though, I'll just say "oh" and leave a naked vote.

[Auro]

VP, just note that this wouldn't really work out that way if you're actually at L-1, since I would actually just hammer on a counter-claim.

[Auro]

If not me, someone else will quick at L-1. I'll lurk out

[Auro]

Shall I just stubbornly claim now?

[Auro]

I think I can draw out multiple claims to mayhem, and it'll look natural I guess?

[Auro]

Hmm I don't think I can help restricting my posting, and seems like multiple people are complaining about it - I don't want to impact the game experience for older people, so I may replace.

[Auro]

Okay then I'll still try better not to.

[Auro]

Thanks, dude!

It's definitely not because of any feelings I have toward my own performance; I'm pretty sure I could cause a lot of damage even if I begin to go down

[Auro]

I am unsure of strategy in this case I'm beginning to reverse my mind, though. I don't see how it'd be natural.

[Auro]

Shoot - for a moment there I forgot that farside was actually our scum buddy. I always knew it, I suddenly thought maybe she wasn't and got spooked.

I suppose my crap-ass memory may be a boon sometimes, no?

@VPB: My only reservation with that is that once people know there are multi-trackers, they will infer that scum know that, and may also infer that scum would not want to claim at L-1 if they're sharp enough; or at least that scum would want to make use of it. While you did do your best to come up with a rational argument for claiming, it does sound like it has a bit of emotion and I don't feel that's your natural style.

Also, note that claiming this way was the way to make the best of a shitty situation. With the wagon falling apart, our ideal scenario is town getting to L-1 and then claiming tracker for someone to quickhammer!

[Auro]

It seems like the tide may shift towards lurkers - I will be very curious to see ABR try and push Reckoner.

I love how all farside posts of mine get outright ignored! And I can complain all I want about it 3:) probably I should come up with weaksauce attacks on some townsfolk too, so the associations are muddled.

[Auro]

Claimed VT to avoid hammer on tracker claim

[Auro]

I'll be mad if Hoopla has a "revelation" that I'm VT
Or if there are no VTs in this game.

@Vi: why would you make a game without any VTs and also inform someone of that

[Auro]

O yes , I don't plan on putting in any last ditch effort.

[Auro]

Sorry if I let you guys down with my, er, unconventional play it'll be a massive relief though given the expectations from me this game.

[Auro]

You did well. You never know, you may survive. If you die, I will ride to confirm town and avenge you

You better. I will be sending my curses to town from the spectator thread!

Maybe hoops will save you

I'm actually amused by people in this game calling me high calibre lol, altho I shall accept it.

[Auro]

Btw, if I haven't said so already, y'all are pretty awesome.

[Auro]

Well *sigh* => a sigh of relief and sadness both

I think if there were no strong arming I would've survived pretty easily - also Porkens is totally a guy who goes ahead and hammers, even though I feel ABR's plan may have been to dismantle my wagon.

[Auro]

One reason I wish I could've stayed is for mechanical advice: I'm sure you guys are pro players but I feel like I've recently expanded well on my mechanical abilities.

Reck should be a strong candidate for a NK! He virtually knows that farside and Pork consists of one scum, which is dangerous for town.

[Auro]

Wait a minute... Two of you were on my wagon ._. but I think bussing me might actually help you a LOT. I'm trying to fake towny interactions with people that may make them look susp later.

[Auro]

I think my lynch is FAR more beneficial than a VPB lynch, btw
The flip might screw town up good tomorrow, and the only twilight info is my wifom

[Auro]

[Auro]

Maximum damage. I'm trying to think of "signals" I can leave in case the mod doesn't give an answer about daytalk.

[Auro]

Good then, because I already have left some signals like one to ABR heheh. You can point that out tomorrow if you want to, maybe, or actually wait - let's see if someone else does it

I don't mind if you guys kill Hoopla or Llamarble too, so I can hang out with them in the dead thread

[Auro]

@Vi: can I provide my own flavor to the lynch? I want to choose how I die.

[Auro]

"Death by overwhelming town cuteness"
Positive vibes

[Auro]

Porkens would also be a reaaaaaallly weird kill that can cause a lot of town infighting!
