Chances are that the potatoes have various triggers such as time (potato explodes after X hours), passes (potato explodes after it has been passed X times), or other completely unrelated things...
I personally want to see "Potato explodes if anyone says the name of the person holding it".

Not sure about the second question, but i'm pretty sure that the number of passes can have an impact.Korts wrote:I don't think it'll be number of passes that triggers it, it'd be impossible to avoid it. They probably don't, but I've gotta ask: do the players holding the potatoes know anything plus about the triggers?

No i reckon it's best if we keep talking for as long as possible, so Porochaz's potato blows up in his face.M4yhem wrote:I guess if we all agree to pass the potato to our top suspect, the chance of them exploding would go up.
I also like the idea of giving potatos to lurkers.
Is it better to keep the potatos moving or not?

Potatoes asplosions... I was thinking that they would happen mostly along the lines of something like after X posts or X tosses, personally.
'Course, we can only guess until we get actual pink mist. I get the feeling that this is going to be a very unusual game...
Also, Battle Mage, you talkwaytoo much...

that is, if the potatoes work the same way every day.

We can try an guess how things work, but we aren't going to have a clue until there's an explosion - and even then, we'll only know how that type of potato functions.
Also, i rofl'd at Wizardcat. Nothing in particular. Just generally.
I'm gonna risk keeping the potato for now. Until i think of something good to do with it. Other than eat it.

Because presumably, Armlx won't want to keep a potato that could kill him for very long. Hence he will discard it at some point, at which time, we pelt it back at him. It's the school of hard knocks.Skruffs wrote:

Personally, i dislike the use of plans in games with a different mechanic. More often than not, they are either concieved by scum, or followed by scum, and dissenters (predominantly town) end up getting scapegoated. It allows scum to ride on Armlx's coat-tails, assuming he is town himself. Brings back bad memories... :'(Korts wrote:BM, the only difference between you and Crazy is that Crazy threw his potatobeforearmlx suggested his plan. There's a distinction.

It is possible (But unlikely) that JohnWells hasn't posted because he's afraid that talking while holding hte potato will blow him up.

Yeh, or we just forget Armlx's plan completely, and just give the potato to someone we want dead. If there is a good enough case to kill someone, im sure we'll end up passing it to them anyway. But, im not going to commit anyone to passing to someone who they dont feel is scummy, just because Armlx said so.Crazy wrote:The only problem that I can see with Armlx's plan is that the potatoes will stay in the hands of pro-town players while we're deciding whom to potato-bomb. If some of these potatoes are triggered by time, and no doubt some are, then that's not good.
I say, whomever has a potato passes it to a person they find scummy. Once we get a majority via Armlx's plan, then we can continually pass it to those select two.
It also gives a more concrete voting record for us.

I think you are missing some very obvious points here. Firstly, John is NOT HERE. He won't be throwing his potato until he shows up or gets replaced now, will he? Secondly, I highly doubt Porochaz will listen to anything i have to say.Skruffs wrote:Do you think Armlx should throw to Porochaz, BM?
You avoided my question: Why aren't you interested in the other two throwing their potatoes as much as you are getting Armlx blown up?
Now, a few questions for you:
1. Why do you think that it is solely my job to determine who throws potatoes where?
2. Why are you pretending to scumhunt when the majority of us are clearly still in the 'random' stage.
I wouldnt mind Armlx throwing at Porochaz. It would serve the same end as my suggestion, just with a higher risk, as i'm getting townie vibes from Porochaz atm. And Armlx? hmm, not so much.

^THIS is exactly the kind of mentality i am trying to avoid. Going against the majority should not be deemed scummy, because in practice, a majority is just as likely to be fuelled by scum as it is by town. We're all individuals, and we can all make our own decisions. When you use an authoratarian system, you need a method of punishing dissenters. In this case, that means killing everyone who has an opinion that goes against the consensus. It might happen in practice anyway! But for crying out loud, let's not make it official before we even start!!!!Crazy wrote:
Armlx isn't our king.

Erm what? Haven't we already concluded that there is a strong possibility that some potatoes may explode after a certain number of tosses? Why then, would you suggest that we waste our firepower?Korts wrote:I agree. It's probably best if the potatoes are kept constantly moving until we find a likely target for "lynch".

I've gotta admit though, i'm a little disappointed that all this randomness ensued in my absence. Maybe it's a tarp?

Do you think Armlx should throw to Porochaz?
The fact that you are asking my opinion on what everybody should do with their potatoes. Nobody elses. Just mine. Now, stop completely avoiding the question.
What gives you the impression that I think that?Now, a few questions for you:
1. Why do you think that it is solely my job to determine who throws potatoes where?
What gives you the impression that i am?
I rarely see townies complain about a random stage being over. Why are you?2. Why are you pretending to scumhunt when the majority of us are clearly still in the 'random' stage.
Eh? 0.oSkruffs wrote: This is pretty defensive for a simple question that you seem to be backtracking pretty hard to avoid answering. If this is the random stage, then you trying to direct Armlx is also random, which means there's no reason for you not to try to direct potatos to and from Porochaz, right?
I dont really understand what you are saying here, but i think i can see where you're heading. If you could be clearer, that might help the both of us.
Saying someone gives townie vibes isn't scumhunting. It's the converse. Armlx is more, just incorrect. Being wrong is not inherently scummy, but it remains to be seen whether he will continue to be wrong. Continuously misleading the town IS scummy.
How can you be?I wouldnt mind Armlx throwing at Porochaz. It would serve the same end as my suggestion, just with a higher risk, as i'm getting townie vibes from Porochaz atm. And Armlx? hmm, not so much.

We're in the random stage, you can't possibly be scum hunting yet, can you?
Yep, i pretty much agree with this.
You are advocating a random lynch if the bombs are triggured on 'number of tosses'.Korts wrote:I agree. It's probably best if the potatoes are kept constantly moving until we find a likely target for "lynch".
My guess is that one potato is based on number of tosses, one is based on length of time held, either by one person or from the beginning of the day, and a third is based on number of posts that have been posted, either since it's been last tossed or since the beginning of the day.

So...you want a random kill? Are you kidding me!?Korts wrote:BM, then tell me, how is it any less random a lynch if the potatoes stay put? Assuming they are currently in the hands of valuable pro-town players, and also assuming that they obey and keep the potatoes like you imply they should, we have no chance of actually hitting scum. If, however, the potatoes are kept in motion, there is some chance that one of them actually asplodes into the face of someone we actually intend to kill.
Did you actually just say that we should pass the potatoes around, because mathematically, we MIGHT hit scum? 0.o
I'd rather see the potatoes KEPT in the hands of those protown players, until we have some idea of where we are throwing them. I dont mind keeping them moving TOWARDS PEOPLE WE ARE SUSPICIOUS OF. But srsly, it seems atm we are just throwing our spuds around for the lols.

cos if the trigger is number of posts, our multiposting isn't furthering the pro-town cause.

We haven't concluded anything because we have no evidence, since none of the potatos have exploded. Until we've tested the idea that a number of tossess=bang there's no reason to believe it.
I'm fearful that we will waste many of our days finding out that we cant outguess the Mod.
