Also, even if we all think Player X is scum, how do we force him to keep the potato?

vote: DGB

Not sure why everyone else is using the weird fakevote syntax.

Also I really can't imagine that this game will be won by whoever is most active, there must be something that allows us to lynch who we want lynched.

for obviously not reading the game setup.

I know that the votes do not do anything.
Doesn't mean we have to switch to a different syntax.

Mods: Do we get the same set of potatoes tomorrow? Does a potato with a specific name always have the same "trigger"?

Just wondering, are you certain that one potato is rigged in that way, or that all (or all that are rigged at least) are?

Oh, and if you wonder why that is a quote, I had posted it in the wrong thread by accident, the summer heat is making me dizzy..

With Skruffs being dead and town: Would anyone else be so kind and share what he meant with BM's scum meta? Or is everyone clueless on that?

BM: Same question: What is DGB's scum meta? Or is it really just gut?

Other than that.. *hop*

vote: tss

(yeah, I'm still bolding it!)

...

Do fake votes have the same effect as real votes? No.
Would they have the same effect

if everyone agreed that the vote leaders should receive the potatoes

? Yes.
Does everyone agree? Obviously not.

So.. why do we have 20 pages dealing with that?

Regular game: Everyone votes, person with most votes gets lynched.
Hot Potato: Everyone votes, person with most votes lives and continues to hurl deadly potatoes at people.

DO YOU SEE THE DIFFERENCE?

*sigh*
I specifically said

if everyone agreed that the vote leaders should receive the potatoes

This means that if you have the potato and are the guy with the most votes all you could do was, throw to the guy with second most votes.
If you throw to someone else the premise

"if everyone agreed"

doesn't hold.

You are missing my point.
Can we punish him today? No, but we might be able to do so in the future (say, when we receive a potato we already had and it still works the same way, or through power roles).

TDC · Post Post #650 (isolation #13) » Sun Aug 03, 2008 4:22 am

I'm not counting on game mechanics. I'm saying that if votes lead to an increased chance of the voted person dying, than votes would have a meaning. Not as strong as in a usual game (there would be no hammer, for example), but nonetheless a meaning.
Obviously potato throwing would have less a meaning than it has now. There's a trade-off there.

TDC · Post Post #651 (isolation #14) » Sun Aug 03, 2008 4:27 am

You see, in the potato-throwing system throwing a potato means a lot, but most people don't get to throw potatoes, depending on how the triggers work people might not receive/throw a potato all game.
In the piling-potatoes-on-voted-people system the individual vote brings less "guilt", but more people can participate.

I could see both systems working, which is why I don't get how we had 20 pages of discussion about the issue when it's obvious that the system that requires everyone to agree with it is not a majority opinion.

I wonder what the Blue Potato actually does.

TDC · Post Post #777 (isolation #19) » Tue Aug 19, 2008 3:06 pm

Drop-kick Blue Potato

to RBT.
Let's see when she will actually give some sort of reason for throwing a potato.

Also, blue potatoes apparently have a long dormancy, so maybe this one has a rather high (time?) limit on it.

I'm sorry, and assure you it was not intentional.

TDC · Post Post #879 (isolation #21) » Sun Aug 31, 2008 3:34 am

Why are people piling

both

potatoes on RV?
You are aware that if he dies while holding both we lose a lynch?

DGB: Was that for lurking, or do you have a specific reason?

I take it you never suspected RBT then, because her claim has some holes in it she hasn't bothered to explain yet:

skitzer -(815/822)-> RBT -(823)-> Korts -(8285)-> M4yhem -(841)-> RV -(843)-> kuribo -(850)-> RV -(853)-> kuribo -(854)-> RV -(862)-> kuribo -(866)-> RV -(868)-> kuribo -(870)-> RV -(871)-> kuribo -(873)-> RV -(875)-> kuribo Dies.

That's 15 counting the one to RBT... but RBT is supposed to cancel the throws going their way.

How does that answer why you didn't change the Baked Yellow Potato?

TDC · Post Post #906 (isolation #25) » Tue Sep 02, 2008 9:16 am

Your claim did not contain that you only negate lynching throws.

Sure.

Pass Yellow Potato to M4yhem

Anyone wanna help me test RBT's claim?

TDC · Post Post #952 (isolation #28) » Mon Sep 15, 2008 1:04 am

No, so focused because you might be lying, and if you're not, it'll not hurt at all.

If I was scum I could just nightkill you. (And what exactly would scum gain by testing your claim? They already know whether you're lying.)

TDC · Post Post #954 (isolation #29) » Mon Sep 15, 2008 1:08 am

Yes.
Any problems with that? I can't see there being unlynchable scum.

That said, with 3 potatoes in the running, this might actually be sort-of-LyLo. Hm.

TDC · Post Post #960 (isolation #32) » Mon Sep 15, 2008 2:10 am

Why not just throw it back between me and someone else and whoever has it at 1 throw remaining throws it to RBT?

I don't see what we gain by using a "scummy person" for that?

TDC · Post Post #962 (isolation #33) » Mon Sep 15, 2008 2:20 am

One thing though. The only baked yellow potato we had so far was baked from the start. Whereas now we have one through before it was baked. Does that throw count, or does it not?

Bah, through->throw.

It never really crossed my mind that you could be a vanilla, so I thought testing your claim was the only reasonable solution to prevent scum-RBT from just coasting through while it would give town-RBT just a vig (though I guess I would've been the vigged..).

Also your claim really had this hole where you claimed to only block the final throw, but your initial claim didn't back that up all that good.
