vote: Patrick

Lynch all liars.

[xyzzy]

So... Rishi, are you scum?

Obviously, since he didn't know why Patrick is lying.

They're scum buddies, for sure.

[xyzzy]

So... Rishi, are you scum?

Uh... no.

I never thought of the strategy of point-blank asking people whether they are scum or not. I think it works great because no one would ever lie in this game.

Yes, I quite agree. I thought it up all on my own, you see. It's a brilliant tactic! Can't use it too often though, scum might think up a way around it.

WIFOM!

[xyzzy]

Thinking about how scum might respond to a tactic - "Can't use it too often though, scum might think up a way around it" - is WIFOM. Duh.

FoS: Shaba

, for pretending to not notice the blunder.

[xyzzy]

^_o

That's not WIFOM, at all.

Why of course it is! Telling lies doesn't make them more true, Shaba...

[xyzzy]

Heck, I don't even know what WIFOM is.

How about we speak english?

WIFOM: One of Shaba's hobbies, apparently.

He's obvious scum. Why are we wasting time discussing the issue?

[xyzzy]

Something suspicious?

Rishi is scum for not starting the discussion on his own. He's the obvious lynch choice today. If you disagree, you're an idiot.

[xyzzy]

No, I was using my favorite start of game tactic: attempt to start a crapwagon on someone and then explain that, wait, no, that's how I always play.

I fail to see how that's how you play; you lead the town toward the middle of day one. I do it immediatley then watch what it starts.

[xyzzy]

Not a quicklynch, but vote hopping just the same.

Mert: i herd you liek mudkips?

[xyzzy]

Oh, you're right! There's only one protown playing style - your's of course - and anyone who doesn't have that playstyle (me) is obvious scum.

Golly, since I use these basic tactics every game, I must always be scum, which is strange because I'm not.[/sarcasm]

Mert, stop being a frickin' moran.

[xyzzy]

For further explanation, dylan's play looks a lot like "newbie playing scum doesn't want to mess up and become suspect".

This is a very accurate analysis.

Vote: dylan

Xyzzy, do you realise he has turned against his own analysis there?

Yes; I agree with the analysis; not with the switching off of it.

[xyzzy]

Um... could you, like, at least explain your vote or something?

[xyzzy]

I am lurking. Discuss.

Heh.

I'm a little suspicious of JDodge, simply because he's usually active as town. But I've been wrong before.... *ahem*
