True. But if he's not posting at all, there's no information we can gather about him, so I'm happy to ignore him while there are others to squeeze.roflcopter wrote: no matter what, ignoring him completely as a scum candidate based on an out of game event is a very bad idea.
Probably. I just don't think there's anything we're likely to be able to reliably use. And chances are we will lynch the wrong person - I'd rather we acknowledge that today instead of getting the idea we can solve the puzzle right off the bat. That way leads to instalynching their hammerer tomorrow for no good reason.roflcopter wrote:there are subtle differences in the way that town and mafia act, even before bodies start piling up.
It's never too early to prompt people to post more. If we're going to have a chance of hanging scum tomorrow, we need 15 or more pages of conversation - and votes - to analyse by the 14th. It's pretty clear I don't believe in leaving my vote hanging around, and I've hardly been reticent about getting involved in debate, have I?roflcopter wrote: its way too early to accuse anyone of lurking, the game has barely gotten started. second, voting lurkers is a very safe scum play. you've got a ready excuse for the vote (you were lurking!) and if the player continues to lurk, or flakes altogether, your vote just sits there gathering dust and you don't have to get involved in the real arguments which make it possible to discern motives.
I'm not interested in discerning his alignment. I'm interested in making him talk, so I can try to discern it later. I'm not Machiavelli, I don't have the perfect question, I just want more raw data from him. And he's not going to play along. Fair enough, but he's left me more suspicious than I was before.roflcopter wrote: and your ready acceptance of honko's non-answer to your inquiry looks like you're not actually interested in discerning his alignment, you're just moving your vote around to look like you're participating in the scumhunt.
I don't hope it'll go away. I hope the mafia pile on and hammer me (I'm at 3), then you guys take them out in quick succession over the next two nights. In that scenario I'm on the winning team, but that's not too likely, barring extreme incompetence. In other news, I fingered him as scum for no good reason; so of course he voted for me. That smells kinda townie to me; but I'll reserve judgement for now.roflcopter wrote:i'd also like to hear your thoughts on the vote for you placed by infinis. you completely ignored it. hoping it will go away if you don't say anything?
so, my vote stays, because i think you have a much higher than random chance of being scum.
True, but you haven't answered my question. Who do you think is guilty?blizzire wrote:changing votes just makes you more suspicious
I know, I've played at a site that its 24-48 hours sometimes 72, and if no one is lynched its either the person with the most votes, or random.Tucking Fypo wrote:3 weeks seem like a long time for a day. I am used to playing a day that last 24 hours on a different site, so this should be interesting.
I feel you are back-and-forth a lot between the both of them. From my limited experience, it usually boils down to two voices battling it out and the town picking sides Day 1. When a third person gets in the mix, I feel that at least one of these three people is scum, if not more.Furpants_Tom wrote:Come on, guys; quit playing so conservatively. If you lot don't start throwing some mud around, we'll never see what sticks.
I've given you all plenty to work with, so far - if there's a pattern to my accusations, you'll continue to get a steady stream of data to discern it. But blizzire, Honko and orangepenguin, you're giving us next to nothing to go on. Infinis and Actarus, it wouldn't hurt to have a bit more info from you two, as well. And tucking fypo is brand new, so some initial thoughts would be appreciated. roflcopter and luchs, I like the way you work, keep it up.
Oh, and specifically - Infinis, what makes you think I'm scumbuddies with Actarus or roflcopter?
/ shrug. There's really nothing for me to add to the discussion, imo, hence the silence. Nothing sticks out as scummy to me. I know infinis scum buddy theory is wrong, at least with regards to me. Interestingly enough, the only other thing I notice is that the will of the town seems to be leaning towards lynching you.Furpants_Tom wrote:Come on, guys; quit playing so conservatively.
