Micro 310: Shitty Joke Smalltown II (game over)

[PrivateI]

I'll take the Treestump.

VOTE: Absta

Because Treestumps have feelings too!

So, if I may ask, do we gain anything from a lynch on this first day? I'm weighing the options, and it almost looks better for us to see if Brian uses his ability, and just start "fresh" D2.

[PrivateI]

Why do we lose investigative and protective roles? The doctor and Even-Night Cop are still in play?

[PrivateI]

Why should Tiershift vote for something he says is awful? That's not a scum tell.

I believe he meant Tiershift should have voted for me, not voted with me...

[PrivateI]

Not sure if I agree with the no-lynch, though. Reducing the number of potential investigation targets will help the cop make a better choice of that.

I can't agree with this at all. Let's run through some numbers: We mislynch today, the Global RB goes off tonight, and we mislynch tomorrow. The cop investigates, and only has a 1 in 3 chance of finding scum (With another kill occurring during the night). If they succeed, we get a scum lynch the next day (Assuming we come to the conclusion that the cop is town and not scum), and if not, we kill a townie and the game ends when the Mafia kill that night. Numbers are not in our favor if we choose to blindly lynch today. If we wait until tomorrow, we can use this day and tonight to gain information, and give ourselves one extra night of safety.

[PrivateI]

I really hate your style of play, just so you know. Actually do some scum hunting for once and post more content?

The problem is, it's never alignment indicative with Yiley. He plays functionally the same whether town or scum...

@Mod, V/LA until Thursday. Papers due during Spring Break suck

[PrivateI]

My primary experience with Yiley is on another forum. Maybe he's more shrewd here, which is entirely possible.

[PrivateI]

I don't really understand the Yiley read, to be honest. I also don't understand this.

I would still rather lynch Yiley at this point than do the cop investigation.

What is the rationale behind this? Are you seriously that convinced that he is scum that you want to lynch the cop?

[PrivateI]

Yeah, so I'm going to throw that out for the purposes of this game. The play there as a whole is much more chaotic, there are three days per real life day, and I'm seeing completely different play there than here in any game. Right now, I'm not seeing scum Yiley, though I will focus on him while re-reading.

[N]

All right, I'm hoping that Yiley is scum since I don't think anyone else is going to get wagoned this close to deadline. Keep in mind that he is now at L-2.

VOTE: Yiley

fixed vote tag per request
~N

[PrivateI]

Mod, I suck at vote tags. Can you edit the previous post?

[PrivateI]

This is terrible. He says he hopes Yiley is scum and votes for him. He then says it is L-2 but it was really the hammer. I'm thinking he knew it was the hammer but was playing dumb.

Quite honestly, I wasn't even thinking about the double-voter. I realized that the Hammerer was in the game after the fact, but didn't have time to post anything to that effect.

Jklash, why did you not send a message? There was literally no reason not to. None. It was the only way to verify that Brian did in fact use his role.

[PrivateI]

Ugh, I don't like MafBlack as much as I thought. It makes it difficult to see when new posts are made.

If you're all down to lynch me, I quite honestly don't know who else to go after. The wagon on me doesn't appear scum-motivated. With that in mind, I guess I can enjoy being a Treestump and posting tomorrow.

With that in mind, I have a few thoughts.

Farside, why so wishy-washy? When I hadn't posted, was there any harm in immediately voting for me? I wasn't anywhere near L-1 at the time.

Just to confirm, I'm still able to post anything game related (scum reads, setup speculation, etc.) if and when I die, right?

I'm a double voter. The hammer has not voted for you either.

Indeed. I do apologize. I keep forgetting the specifics of this setup.

[PrivateI]

Ok, so out of curiosity, why are we not lynching Absta?

VOTE: Absta

There are more than a few people who view him as scummy, and he is a DEFINITE detriment to town in the endgame. And he will make it to endgame. No scumteam in their right mind would shoot that.

VOTE: Absta

Mod, my vote is on Absta.

[PrivateI]

Primarily because he consistently casts suspicion on others, specifically Tier, without voting, Absta. It's straight-up mudslinging.

[PrivateI]

Tier is fairly town. He's working with people, scum hunting, nothing jumps out as scum.

[PrivateI]

Who are you talking about?

In reference to Tier's question.

. It's straight-up mudslinging.

Sorry. Awkward sentence structures are a thing I enjoy.

[PrivateI]

Quite honestly, I am not certain that it does. The primary town game in which I had time to collect my reads and compile them was when I was a replacement early on. At the same time, I had no school, and just a little work. I'm doing my best to stay afloat in these games, but it's difficult.

[PrivateI]

I personally do not like the hammer or even Private's wording. I did a short meta dive into private as well (and when I have time I will post the links) his scum game is not idiotic in the least. I just remember that off the top of my head but links will come tomorrow with this.

I played in a game and modded a game? Compared to the previous Marathon Weekend, as your extensive meta research should have told you, that is a HUGE decrease in activity. Don't deign to tell me that I'm not significantly busier right now than I have been at any point on this site. As I said, I'm doing my best to stay up in all games because the thought of replacing out does not appeal to me whatsoever.

[PrivateI]

The fact that he doesn't scumhunt is what's scummy, not the fact that he wants a PL.

However, in this type of game, figuring out how to "game the setup", as it were, is almost as crucial for a townwin as scumhunting itself.

[PrivateI]

Second question: If he was manipulative as scum in a game you were in why would you question his behavior and entrance in the game here?

What are you asking here? For the life of me, I don't get it.

Read the game. I know it's a novel concept and maybe difficult.

Well, to me, it's fairly obvious why he questions AJ's behavior and entrance into the game based on his past experience. Perhaps I'm incorrect, but if someone plays a certain way as scum in a game we play together, and exhibits the exact same behavior in a future game, I will likely question it.

[PrivateI]

Working on a presentation and some tests. Will be posting later.
