Killa, if you keep making posts like that, we'll not have enough info after 100 or after 250 posts, whichever happens first (heh that looks dumb, but you know what I mean). This is not a normal game.
FoS: killa7
. I'm less suspicious about Green Cow (Muerrto found it odd he didn't vote) because he clearly stated his suspicions, but on behalf of Muerrto:
FoS: Green Cow
for his stance on voting.
I really appreciate this form of hydra-play. Making it clear who your partner is and what each of your thoughts are is definitely the pro-town way all hydras should be playing. Hydras who post like this will be much easier to read as scum, and no less effective as town. Hydras who are not clear like this should be treated with suspicion.
@Ting post 12:
Thanks a load for doing the math. I agree, the 100 post thing is pretty much irrelevant.
I think everybody sticking to about 1 post per day max is a good idea. Just save all your thoughts and post them together at the beginning/end of the day.
The way I understand the game is that there is a formal 'night' every 5 days, however town and scum can make as many kills during the day as votes/posts account for? So theoretically we could finish this game before scum even get a chance to make a kill? I must be wrong here, since the game would be broken in favor of town in this case. All town would need to do is develop a system to lynch randomly, and scum would have a slim-to-none chance of winning.
Looking for
mod
confirmation here: Do scum only get to make kills every 250 posts? Or every 250 posts + after every town lynch?
@NAJ: If you have someone on your team that's going to be useless and post 5-word posts, you deserve to be lynched.
@ the competent member of NAJ: Ting got it right here:
ting =) wrote:Saying one of your other heads did 'scummy action x' as a defense is cheap. You're essentially voting killa seven for the exact same thing you did.
If one of you does something scummy, you all do something scummy. I'm not suspicious of those who voted you even after TrojanHorse made his post - "I'm sorry" doesn't cut it for a hydra anymore than it does for a regular player.
Xdammno as part of Now a JDodge wrote:Natirasha (Tarmogoyf), your vote is perplexing; Now a JDodge is not just here to screw around, we're actually playing mafia - though even if we were, that wouldn't be any reason to vote us... Do you really think anyone in this hydra at all is stupid enough to blatantly try and lose the game for town single-handedly?
Did you read your Hydra's first post? Either they were screwing around, or.... they were screwing around. And that IS good reason to vote someone. If all your posts were going to be as useless as the first one, then all your character would be doing is driving up the post count and increasing # of mafia lynches.
Now all that said, if that was a one-time incident, then I have no major qualms. Your last 2 posts were worthwhile, and I hope it continues that way. If you start posting excessively (using 'well there's 7 of us!' as an excuse), or if another non-accidental useless post is made, then I will think you're hands-down the best D1 lynch. I hope you can understand why people would be unhappy with your first post and it's blatant disregard for what is pro-town here.

Green Cow wrote:The NAJD wagon is not a good one. While yes, it is harder for us to get reads on them, they will also make, in general, significantly more posts. This means they'll reach the post limit before any of us. This goes for all the hydras, but NAJD more than any.
I don't understand. More posts = more scum lynches = a bad thing. And how is hitting the post limit a good thing? I find this post suspicious, and would really like to hear an elaboration. As far as I can tell, you just explained why NAJ was a good lynch, yet said his lynch is "not a good one."
@Icemuffin:
More wasted posts... Firstly, you should be able to count for yourself. NAJ was at 6 votes: L-1. Secondly, the double post was completely unnecessary.
@Everyone:
I'm not sure what xyzzy's position on this is, but if you screw up a post for whatever reason, you should probably PM him. Example being Icemuffin posting on the wrong account, or Kabenon007 forgetting to bold his vote in post 18.
Also, does anyone think there's ANY reason to make people claim here? I know there's only vanilla scum and vanilla town, but I personally have flavor in my role-pm. That is, I'm not a 'vanilla townie,' I'm a *something else* that has no powers and is pro-town. It's possible everybody has a unique title, in which case claims may actually be useful in case scum claims a title that town has.
EBWO..posting in pieces:
Just checked the intro post again and read the rules more closely.
xyzzy wrote: Rule One: Lynching. All voting and unvoting must be in bold type, in the format “vote: Ether” or “unvote”. At the end of each day, whoever has had the most votes on them for the longest time will be lynched even if that person already has a majority of votes on them before deadline. You must unvote before voting. Failure to do so will result in your new vote not being counted.
Sounds like this is not a standard lynch. I interpret this to mean that every 5 days, there will be a lynch, and that lynch will not simply be whoever has the most votes on them. Moreover, 7 votes on someone right now does not get them lynched. It's whoever got the most votes over the day, and in the case of a tie, whoever had said number of votes on them for the longest amount of real-time.
