Greetings all, I'm your new IC and also the new Chkflp.

I'm sort of like old Chkflp as far as alignment goes, but add a beard and make him sexy.

Now I get the fun of deciding how to treat a replace in for a Newbie game...should I do the 'standard' replace in, or should I force you to deal with a 'non-standard' one for kicks?
Hurm...


Wow, lookit that, 24 pages.
I feel too lazy to read any of it.
Who should I sheep?

:lol:
Oh, this is funny.

Okay, so one scum in Justice/Sakura/Slaine/Nani
The other three are all likely town.
Bet money on it.

@Scum - guess what, the easy mislynch just left, how ya feelin' now?

@Everyone Else - I do still need a case to sheep - I'm being lazy here.

Maybe so.
Why is my entrance scummy?

Also, who is your top scumread and why don't you want me to vote them?

I've already expressed opinions - how many do you need to me to have and in what timeframe?
Also, why is Nic scum?

That doesn't make any sense - scum need to read a game to fake scumhunt just as much as town needs to read it to real scumhunt. Clarify this?

Because I don't care how it looks, I care why you think it looks "not good".

In post 603, Slaine Hayes wrote:I unvoted you because chkflip stated to not allow him to lurk. I had some questions about his voting patterns, but not enough to place a vote and he never discussed the matter with me or anyone else. My vote was in the hopes that he would see a little pressure and begin posting as he promised numerous times. With you replacing in, I hope we will not have issues with lurking.
So you voted this slot simply because it was lurking?
As in, you were going to help lynch this slot, not because it looked scummy, but because it was lurking?
In post 603, Slaine Hayes wrote:So...you haven't read the game, and are voting me? I am curious to know your reasoning behind that, if you have no information on the game up until this point.
I've got information in the game - I've been reading the posts on this page.

I can probably trust one of your words on that. Besides, if someone lies to me than the rest of the town should be able to point it out and we'll lynch the liar.
Is his meta case on you good? Meta can be a good case.
In post 606, homertve wrote:No, he doesn't need to read to fake scumhunt. He already knows who's scum and who's town, so he can just look at his wagon and "decide" that one of those is a scum and the other must be town.
Town can do that too - are you saying that, by definition, a player will be lazy when scum and proactive and hard reading when town?
In post 606, homertve wrote:I didn't think about it. You're probably right that it's a null-tell.
Why did you think it was a scum tell?

It makes me feel important and be a lion in bed with the ladies.

In post 607, Sakura Hana wrote:Will prob. vote someone later, but since you're doing way better than chkflip didnt feel fair leaving my vote on you.
Why did you think chkflip was scum?
Or were you also going to lynch him for the obvious scumtell of not caring about the game?
In post 609, Sakura Hana wrote:@Thor: Nani is scum, I am town, Majiffy's flowchart says to sheep you to win. What do you make of this?
Why is Nani scum?
I was kinda feeling slight town on that slot. It's not a strong read though, I can be sold the other way.

Also, look at this fascinating evidence.
Here is a player who was clearly just as lurktastic as Chk (probably more so, considering he flaked and didn't request out) and how many votes does he have on him?
And people really want to claim *my* wagon being called scum driven is lazy scumhunting? (looking at you Homer avatar dude)
:lol:
Oh man, this is too easy sometime.

So I'm confirmed town now, pretty much. What else is exciting and happening?
People should give me some cases to sheep though - it's getting to the point I may have to start scumhunting, and no one wants that.

Why is her lurking scummy? We have, apparently at this stage, three different players who are 'lurking' so, by definition, at least one is town.
Also, I'm not sure I feel that the contribution is 'pretend' I'm not going to say it's 'good' but that's a different matter.

Why did Nami need to pretend contribution like this? Just a desperate attempt to mess with you and get you lynched while Nami is voting other people or something?

I
already mentioned the ones she pretended to focus on, even telling me "Stop avoiding my question". See now why i find her suspicious?
I don't see any reason for scum to choose to do that though.
I think you have accurately shown that she is either not reading the game well and/or is very forgetful.
That said, why pick a fight over that if you're scum and skimming?

I don't want to call the slot town, as it is in my suspect pool currently, but I don't think your case is as good as you'd like to believe - especially for Day 2.
If this was Day 1 I'd sheep you, but at this stage we need something a bit more concrete than that - I need a motive.

No. Because no.
There was definitely different flavors to your slot and Justice, not necessarily alignment-wise.
Like what?
Because I'm pretty sure he's town - which makes the race on me because I'm more of a threat - ergo; town. It's not complicated.
In post 633, Dyslexicon wrote:I'd say go for it, it's a good read. I'd definitely recommend reading the end of D1, was a pretty weird lynch, quickly changed from Homer to a replacement that was painfully noobish and said some weird stuff. Like four votes in four posts, after Homer had claimed.
What did you learn from that period?
In post 636, NicCage wrote:Feeling lazy on making a case. I'll try to get around to it tonight
Better hurry, I'm pretty sure Homer is obv. town.
That's what I got from reading Dyslexia's wall.
Go figure :shrug:

Now if only he and Justice would show up and be *pro*-town in addition to just having a good role PM, that would be sexy.
I mean...not as sexy as my beard, natch, but at least as sexy as, say, other bearded and sexy men who are not me.
I also would like to point out that all of you should read my posts in the voice of Sean Connery.
Not because I sound like him, but because I want to.

Still no cases to sheep - what the hell?

@Dyslexia - you have a case on anyone? I want it, I desire to sheep you - rock my world already!

Yeah...leaning 'no' right now. It doesn't feel bad per se', but I am not sold on it making a scum case.
I still think I'm leaning town on him - mostly I thought the way he approached the fight between Nani and Sakura was townish because he was open to the idea both were town. Too often I see scum players go with the ol' 'well, *one* of them must be scum' approach. Makes me feel townish on him.

If he keeps lurk-a-derping we can just speed lynch him for lulz though.
In post 653, Nani wrote:Wait, if there is one scum in Justice/Sakura/Slaine/Nani and all the other three are all likely town, where the hell is the other scum?
You misunderstood 'other' allow me to clarify; I think there is *one* scum in those four, and therefore *three* of the are town.
In post 654, Nani wrote:Was about to get lynched on D1 but your predecessor unvoted and then the wagon died. Justice barely posted but when he did he used long meh posts, chkflip was more a one-liner and promissed to cathup post.

Yes, it is. If you want clarification of the question then you don't ask the identical question again - you specify that you are *aware* of the answer and then point out what it is that is confusing you about it and request clarification.
If you just ask the same question again then you get the same answer and leery sideways glances.
Is that so hard to understand?

Why? That would take away from my sarcasm time.
Besides, I already seem to have at least as many solid opinions as most of the game (and more than...well, at least 2-3) so I'm already ahead of the curve.

Who is your second suspect after Nani?
Also, considering your issues with Nani, why did you ever vote Chk?

Sakura - roses are red.
You - What color are roses?
Sakura - roses are red!
You - I was looking for clarification!
Sakura - Whut?

In post 673, Wilma wrote:What benefits are there in not reading the game and jumping in where it is at, and would you advise others to do the same?
The benefit is that people immediately start getting reactions and input from a slot that has been inactive.
Also, I think it is beneficial and good to shake up the town by demanding explanations of things that have gone before from multiple players - things that normally wouldn't be discussed because 'everyone' already knows about them.
I would advise others to do it if they think it will help them scumhunt.
In post 673, Wilma wrote:@Thor. I could spend days finding and reading games you have played to try to see how you play different alignments, but I will follow your lead and be more thrifty with my time. Could you please explain how you behave as town, and how you behave as scum? How do you think we could tell the difference?
I play my scum game to mirror my town game. If I thought there was any difference between my town and scum game I would have altered my scum game already to remove said difference - therefore, to the best of my awareness there is no difference. Over the years there have been a number of players who claimed they could read me. None of them appear that accurate in calling for my lynch, so I suspect they're all wrong. I have been described as very difficult to read.
In post 677, Wilma wrote:Dyslexicon – The most townish, levelheaded, presses for answers and challenges fixed thinking in others. The one who kept his cool in the Day1 lynch vote kerfuffle.
If only one person 'kept their cool' during the Day 1 lynch, why does that make them likely town? Clearly a lot of other town players didn't keep their cool - so why is it a town tell?

@Nic - was Homer a lurksack as town?

Well - probably that he found the slot scummy and wanted to vote them.

That's not desperately true.
It sometimes is - and sometimes it isn't.
In post 699, Dyslexicon wrote:I explained this in what I wrote to Slaine I think. Plus, he read me as "town for sure" after D1 based on me keeping my cool, which contributed to my read on him. Also, Slaine is a suspect, but reading through something stopped me writing him. One of the things making me hesitate with Homer is that he's said something I also feel in this game, that it's a lot of people acting weird, and I have a hard time getting reads. It's rather vague, but don't think I can explain it better. I'm very curious to see his flip though, and I don't actually think Nic's points about him are bad.
I see a lot of talking without actually saying anything here.
In post 699, Dyslexicon wrote:That would be reasonable if you don't know my alignment. I'm not though.
Also, want to elaborate on what you find suspect or unclear?
Why should I need to - you just agreed with me that it makes sense to find you suspect - so clearly you understand that you look scummy.

The reason I think you could be scum is because I think that Justice is town.

I don't feel confident enough in my read on Nic to speak much on it - I would basically put him down as null with a gut town leaning and a logic scum leaning. But I like you and Slaine as scum more than him at this stage. The worst i have for him is his danciness around the Day 1 lynch - nothing else is twigging me.

Between you and Slaine? I don't think I claimed there was one.

You're supposed to take the hint and reveal the whole read and situation - not force me to play twenty questions with you to get to the same endpoint.

You - Wait, why is Thor scum?
Sakura - I already answered that!
You - I was looking for clarification!
Sakura - Whut?
You - Why aren't you asnwering?
Sakura - I fething hate you. You are scum.

And even if I were retarded and asked the same thing over and over, why does this make me scum?
1. If you really believe that's what went down provide me quotes to prove it.
2. I never said it did make you scum - I said her issue with you was justified.

So stop lurking /more sarcasm

I should probabbly forget that you are active posting and attack you because YOU ARE LURKING AND PRETEND TO POST BY ASKINJG QUESTIONS ALL OVER AND OVER AGAIN /dies of sarcasm

1. The initial question wasn't even addressed to you.

3. Whut?

:neutral:
1. I am sure enough of this pattern analysis to call you scum over it - feel free to translate that into whatever arbitrary word of sureness you'd like.
2. I don't think both scum were on the Raptor wagon because I don't think they needed to be.
3. It counts the final vote count with an awareness of Nic's odd activities being noted. As I've already indicated to you.
In post 718, Dyslexicon wrote:However, as town, would you really go for a lynch of some newly incoming noob replacement after seeing four votes in four posts without very much if any explanation instead of a claimed VT and not so townie spot? Cause that was what it was like for me.
I don't know what I would have done then. I wasn't there.
I don't see it as particularly town suggestive though, if that's what you're going with - I can see scum and town motivation in what you did and you don't particularly look that townie to me in any other respect.

ATTENTION TOWN PLAYERS.

We have 4 days till deadline.
I would like to have *at least* 48 hours to debate any claims prior to a lynch.
So what say we man up and get someone to L-1 with a hammer intent?

Nani
Sakura
Slaine

All your votes are currently useless. Either start making *amazing* cases on your chosen target, or move somewhere useful.
Sheeping me is allowed.

@Sakura - why are you against clarifying the specifics of why the read changed?
That appears to be a very valid question.

I even agree with you that 'reads changed' is a valid defense and that their point against you is silly - but I have no idea why you couldn't just explain *why* reads changed.

But if you think as town he tends to do 'this' and then in this game he isn't doing 'this' why is the meta so objectionable to you?
You may disagree with the core conclusion, but I fail to see an evil misrep from Nic in that case.

1. I'm honest about what I've read and haven't read. WOuld you like to admit to not reading the thread? Is that where this is going?

2. I described why I think it paints him as town...and then that paints you as scum. And, yes, I've discussed that multiple times. I even discussed it about a page or two ago, so...y'know...work on the fake reading a bit.

AT EVERYONE - we are not in a good situation here to achieve a lynch.

I'll help lynch Slaine and Dys - I will begrudgingly help lynch Sakura or Nani, but think neither is that good. I will not help lynch anyone else.
Currently the Slaine and Nic wagons are the biggest - make some value calls.

Sakura seems to want to be policy lynched for being terrible.

Quick sheep after Sakura's self-vote derp.
Basically, if Sakura is town that's an *excellent* moment to be able to justify voting her.

Didn't you think Sakura was town? Why don't you give me your read of that self-vote derp-fest?

As promised...

Thor's (patented) Wall o' Post Game Reads!


GamerRaptor
- you were a bit before my time, but I hope you don't feel bad being the Day 1 lynch. There will always be a Day 1 lynch and it's nothing to be ashamed of. That said, it's nothing to volunteer for either. What will serve you the best is to look at the reasons people stated for lynching you and try to understand them. Now, you *don't* need to agree that they are brilliant scumtells, but you do need to ask yourself if they are things you need to be doing, because if they get you lynched as town, and you don't need to do them - stop doing them. It's a value to town to have town players who are not easy to lynch, because that means scum will have to expose themselves more to get mislynches. Be the sort of town that makes scum take risks ;)

Slaine Hayes
- I cannot speak for the others (heck, some were scum, they lied) but the reason I lynched you is you were lukewarm, neither hot nor cold, and that made you difficult to read and thus worthy of removal from the game. I think some of this was due to you being uncertain of your reads, but even if you are uncertain (maybe especially) you should express your reads and try to offer thoughts and ask questions. Brilliance rarely descends from the heavens into our laps, and your goal, as town, is to find brilliance, so get out and go looking for it at all times. It will help keep you and town motivated, and it will make you a harder mislynch.

homertve
- I actually disagreed with the case on you, I thought you were scumhunting pretty well and being fairly townish looking...I think that's one of the reasons I ended up dead. I think what got you dead was that your posts were a bit hard to understand - I understood them, and I thought you were town, a lot of people didn't and they thought you looked scummy. This is a game of written communication and a big part of it is conveying exactly what you mean. You need to pay attention when people are confused by what you say and work hard to make sure they know what you mean, I think it will help your town vibes show through a lot easier if you get them to understand what you're saying.

Wilma
- You played a solid lurk game on the periphery and were caught via claim interaction. I don't have too much to advise you on because you played a risky gambit. If it had worked you would have looked brilliant, if it didn't you would end up dead, this time it didn't. The best advice I have is work a bit more on looking town and a bit less on avoiding notice - avoiding notice will only take you so far, but having people think you're town will help carry you through to the point you hopefully don't need to fake a claim for a win gambit attempt ;)

NicCage
- You played an excellent game, except for deciding to not jail Nani the last night...why? I still don't understand that decision.

Nani
- I feel like you wanted mislynches too much. If you look at your play you were aggressive in helping push through every lynch. Why? You used some rather thin reasoning to do so on a handful of occasions and it didn't look good. Here's my super secret hint for all scum play: town is pretty dumb, and will make bad lynches without much help. Don't force yourself to vote town - just vote people you think look scummy, and allow town to mislynch on their own. They can and will, and you'll look better for it.

Dyslexicon
- You sleep walked through Game Day 2 (albeit partly due to v/la as I recall) but woke up later. You started looking more town when you started posting more ;) The worst I can say about you is you were a little too detached, the best is that you had good logic - I think both of those vibes come from the same place mentally for you though. You may have issues dealing with players who are more passion/emotion focused. Overall I think you played an excellent game that belies your start date.

Sakura Hana
- I think you pretty much won this game for town :shrug: Not much to say to improve on that. I'm glad I dismantled the wagon on you Day 2, but I don't even know why that wagon existed really. I...got nothing, you played excellently. You found flaws, you battled for town reads, and you created consensus. That's what everyone wants to be in their town game, so just, y'know, keep doing that ;)

Oh, and I forgot to add;

I'm here for questions, yadda, yadda, yadda.
Any confusions I'll explain, blarggity, blarg, blarg.

Pretty much if you have any questions about your play, my play, or game theory, feel free to ask and I'll answer to the best of my ability.
I think across the board this was a very well played game and you all can draw a lot of good tidbits from it.

As someone in a discussion thread said, they felt the game made them a better liar in real life and I can see why, so I probably won’t play again.

In my experience it has made me harder to lie to - albeit sometimes when people dance around the truth and I drive for it I sometimes realize there is little need for me to be reacting that way.
Sorry it isn't your cup of tea though, but glad you had some fun whilst here.
