Mini 702--Serum & Steel(The rust has settled/Game Over)

[Timeater]

Yes.

Now care to post anything of substance?

[ortolan]

just out of curiosity how do people even attempt to edit the dice? Do you need to edit the html or something?

Whenever I preview a dice roll it appears in the preview window but uneditable, and otherwise I couldn't get that indented effect it has.

[TonyMontana]

As far as I know, there's no way to fix the dice.

[TonyMontana]

Serum: Tuberkulousis

[ortolan]

How do you get it to say "fixed" then?

[TonyMontana]

How do you get it to say "fixed" then?

If you quote the dice roll, it adds a code that lets everyone know that it's fixed.
The obvious way of rigging a roll is to quote a dice roll, then remove the quote tags, and the "fixed" stamp prevents that.

[Wall-E]

Are you saying the dice can be cheated or not, TM?

[TonyMontana]

I am not aware of any way to cheat the dice, no.

[Illumina]

Sorry for not posting, school has been really busy lately. I've read the entire thread, and I think the random choice is the way to go, statistically (admittedly, it's easy to say that seeing as I'm second to receive the serum...). However, there's obviously going to come a point where an information based meritocracy (as SpyreX said) is going to a better play. My question is, how are we going to decide when that is? Only when we have concrete evidence, or by consensus? We ought to decide this today, rather than it becoming an problem later.

On another note, I'm not inclined to trust Timeater just because he's metal and claimed early. Not sure whether he's town or not, but giving him the serum would not have been in our best interests.

Oh, and a question for clarification: does the day only end when someone is lynched? Do we get to serum, mycosynth and lynch all in one day, or do we have to choose?

[Wall-E]

The only way to know when it's time to drop the randomserum plan will be when ANY information becomes available. I'd say by the time the first roleclaim is made, or a very strong push by any player, to the point of all but claiming in order to get someone else lynched.

Just my thoughts.

Day ends with lynch. At twilight, a picosecond before the lynch, mycosynth concensus (if any) is resolved, and so is serum concensus. If no concensus is reached on mycosynth or serum, it's skipped, and nobody is mycosynthed or serumed. It's possible to achieve one concensus without the other, so we could agree who should get serum and not have enough votes for mycosynth. In that case, someone would get serum and nobody would get mycosynthed and then someone would die (or not, if metal), and then we go on to night.

I'm trying to catch up whenever the opportunity finally decides to present itself. Middle of page 4.

Does anyone want me to ask for an extension? I don't know if I'm allowed or not but it would help me personally.

[SpyreX]

We're going to play a little game called "Since this day 1 is covered in serum's and synths, lets lynch a luker!"

So stats as of post 184 of people the game:

Verdict: Not a Lurker. Probably Scum Metal, but not a lurker.

FOR REFERENCE:
Our mod at this point had 12 posts.
That means that:
Illumina
Gremwell
Tuberkulous
Porkens
Geraintm
Seraphim

All have posted less. TonyMontana is equal.

This is sad. We've went through half of day 1 already and this is what we've got.

Unvote
Vote: Seraphim

[Wall-E]

Gertainm isn't posting often enough on the rest of the site for me to say his lurking is malicious.

Do you have stats on Seraphim's "active lurking" to back your claim? I will vote along with you if you can prove it/reference how you know.

[SpyreX]

Sorry, let me clarify:

Lurking in this game more than others (in this game).

Just based off the simple fact that she's posted in other games between this one.

I'm mostly sad at the fact we've got.. 7, not counting the replacement, at or below mod-line.

[SpyreX]

To be even more clear: No, normally I'm not gonna smash lurker head day 1. In a game with the shortened day one I think that this level of lurkosity isn't just anti-town, its scummy. Especially with us giving out the serum randomly - they have a chance to get it without opening themselves up for lynch.

[Timeater]

I really dont like being accused of being metal scum. I know its all WIFOM (AND I'm beating a dead horse) but do you really think I would have gone to the lengths I have

d1

to claim metal, in hopes of the serum going to the right person - if I was scum? Would I really take that big of a risk? SpyreX keeps saying over and over again he thinks I'm scum metal, but I'm starting to think he's scum metal. I'm currently the biggest scum threat (I post alot, I cant be killed) so his continual attacks against me make sense for him being scum. Or the scum could just be all lurking. :sadface:

I'm gonna take a day or two off, give other people a chance to post. We're only halfway through to the deadline, right? Ciao @_@

[Wall-E]

Wifom, wifom, wifom, wifom and omgus.

Stop that, Timeater.

[SpyreX]

I just dont think he can

[Wall-E]

Level three containment breach: Newbscum virus outbreak detected in sector 702. Sending in the armored flamethrower robots.

[Wall-E]

Spyrex: I'm just wondering if you think Seraphim is posting

considerably

more elsewhere on the site, and that is what make him scummy, or if he's posting about one or two posts a week in every game he's in/thread he posts in?

[SpyreX]

Its more of - of all the terrible lurkers this game, Seraphim has actually BEEN posting in other places.

[Wall-E]

Seraphim: 10 posts on mafiascum.net since Nov. 1 when this game started. Of those, 1 was in this game, but all of them were skimpy posts.

I think your case is weak if you choose to pursue it as defined, Spyrex.

[Seraphim]

First...urm...I'm a male. And second, I'm really, really busy in real life. I plan on catching up...today, actually. And actually posting things. For real.

[Wall-E]

I'm waiting with bated breath.

[Wall-E]

EBWOP: Baited. And actually, I'm doing the opposite of that, since I think you're neutral.
