in popcorn fashion? The last time i participated in one, it did not end well. The scum either came up with plausible claims or had safe claims. Town of course tell the truth on their claims, so scum can end up getting more out of this than town. It all depends on if they have safe claims.cicero wrote:OK, we need something to talk about. So here's a big one:
Should we mass claim?
If we are going to do it, I would suggest the popcorn method, where we pick the scummiest seeming person we can find to be the first claim, then they choose the next oerson etc etc. The goal being to get the scum claiming first, so that they can't just go at the end and pick an unclaimed justice league member.ShowAs Town: 3/8

I could be persuaded to a mass claim, a mass "claim who we're not" is useless though. How hard can it be for scum to pick a name off a big list of Justice Leaguers and say "I'm not them". It gains us nothing.ZONEACE wrote:i think i gave m anser, i ended this sad little merrygoround. it was a stupid joke of an idea and i put a stop to it. so lets get back to things relevant and helpful

can't be sure. If the scum have no safe claims, and if the popcorn process manages to pick some scum early, then they have tpo risk picking someone who is going tpo be counter claimed.ZONEACE wrote:
neither does a massclaim. It just gains the scum all the usual info they need on who they need to kill first.WhoMe? wrote:It gains us nothing.ShowAs Town: 3/8

On reflection I agree that a mass claim would be a bad thing. It would most likely lead to voting based on perceived patterns in the characters claimed, I think we will be better served going the old fashioned route of lynching people for behaving in a scummy fashion
I'm going to go with avote Capricious
So you think a mass claim will be unlikely to out scum, but you want to go ahead anyway? Why do you want to gift scum the townie identities? The only reason for this is if you believe there is a good chance of outing scum, so that the tradeoff has a net advantage.Capricious wrote:The problem with the mass claim is that there are a myriad of Justice League heroes. Looking at wikipedia nets over 100 members. Now, I'm not sure which of those are well known, but it still seems unlikely to actually catch a scum lying. I will support a mass claim, however, because I find it difficult for scum to correlate roles with abilities.

That's kind of my point. Capricious makes a good case for a mass claim being anti-town, and then about turns and says lets do it....Thesp wrote:I like Capricious's line of thought, but disagree with its conclusion.ShowAs Town: 3/8

the reason I seem wishy washy is that I am ambivalent as to whether a mass claim would be pro-town or anti-town. It all depends on information I don't have. Do the scum have safe claims? Would we be successful in getting them to claim first? Do the roles we have fit any sort of pattern etc etc. The point I had against Capricious, was him laying out all the reasons it was a bad thing for town, and then promoting it.Thesp wrote:ZONEACE wrote: Re-reading, I like WhoMe? as scum here much more. He seems to say, "Well, the last time it ended badly...but here's how we should do it!" I liked what we had to say about Capricious (even though I disagreed entirely with his conclusion for different reasons), but in the context of his earlier posts, he appears hypocritical in accusing Capricious of being wishy-washy on massclaiming.

I just mean the popcorn method. If the town is lucky with their picks, scum feature further up the list, so there is more chance of a counter claim as they have less info to make up their claims from.Mirth wrote: Whome: how can we be successful in getting scum to claim first if we dont know who the scum are?

Some of the town might not have names? Are you kidding me. Who in the justice league doesn't have a name? We all have names, even the scum I expect - tho their names will be Lex Leuthor etc etcShowAs Town: 3/8

Yep, I did. This is because of what I believe about the game, though when I go back to read the initial post there is no confirmation of my belief, so my bad maybe. My belief is that we ALL have names. Good guys have justice league names, bad guys have bad guy names. I wouldn't be surprised if every good guy has a power relating to their name. Don't know if the same would apply for scum.Mirth wrote:Simulpost. Darn
WhoMe, why did you just claim a named role? You don't know for a fact if the rest of us have names, and if we're smart about it, none of us are going to tell you.WhoMe? wrote:Some of the town might not have names? Are you kidding me.

Fair enough, but I don't see that I've done much wrong (in the second post) that I hadn't already done wrong in the first post.Mirth wrote:
My comment boiled down to "why the heck did you do that and stop it." Now you went and crossed the rhetoric line and softclaimed. Softclaims are bad, bad, very bad. Now we have a problem. Do we left the softclaim slide? Or do we force a full claim out of you so you can't use other people as a guage for what roles are available?
Hmmm...hard choice. I thnk soft claims are a cardinal sin...but then again I'm also pretty much anti-claiming until its unavoidably necessary.ShowAs Town: 3/8

Very happy with my vote. This is just disingenuous, I accept that the game dosn't have to parallel the comic books exactly, but in this situation you would off superman in a trice, and to claim you wouldn't just makes me think you are reaching for excuses to continue your mass claim quest.Capricious wrote:If I were scum I would not go after superman over aquaman.

OK, i definitely want the lynch to be town pushed rather than mod pushed, so lets avoid a tie.Khelis guilty of the same things I'm votingCapriciousfor, and it seems more of you prefer him as a lynchee. I can go along with this, as he was my #2, but this doesn't mean I've changed my mind onCapricious
