I like Annachie's most recent post. I agree with it. Also, how would people decide which lynch is "better", if it isn't really a comparison?
I think Elli is a bit too obsessed with getting people to post.
Quotes like these don't really help anyone. Upon seeing that post, I don't start thinking 'Oh, I must post immediately, because otherwise I'm being anti-town!'. You mentioned pre-game activity already. The only thing posting over and over will do is up your PPD.Elli wrote:And why aren't all of you participating right now?
It is anti-town to not participate in this pregame!-

CSL is a good policy lynch.
I agree we should lynch about as often as we can, but keeping the scumkill-to-lynch ratio as optimal as we can get it also involves making good, informed lynches. Policy lynches aren't based on the likelihood of a player being scum and are rarely as worth it for anti-town metas as people say.
Pushing for policy lynches is rarely scummy in and of itself but doing so while pushing for keeping the lynch-ratio high is scummy.
I agree with my other fruit's point on Elli as well.Vote: Ellibereth. OrPregameFOS: Ellibereth. Orsomething.

DRK: Eh, I'm just recognizing the situation for what it is. It doesn't affect things one way or the other, because (as you said) Elli's still my top suspect and earning my vote when get one; this is just a way of saying that.
Scummy or anti-town?CSL wrote:Policy Lynching = Scummy.
Reasons: Lynching a player you don't want in the game. Mostly a VT, whom, in the long run if you find yourself at lylo, you'd be wishing you didn't Policy Lynch.
tl;dr: Lynched player more than likely turns up town, and might cost the game.
That's why I think it's scummy, and thus earned my [Pregame] Vote.
I other news, I hope you like the avatar.-

But then again, in the only game this half has played with CSL, he was a jester. [Warning: Ongoing game.]-

How would this hypothetical "we" decide whether if CSL is a better lynch than some other player? They can't be compared, because they aren't of the same category: one is a policy lynch, and one is a scummy lynch. What if players disagreed?Ellibereth wrote:The mechanics for this is not a normal game though.
We first place an "insurance lynch" on CSL on the immediate start of D1. This way, assuming we're unable to reach a consensus of lynching a player we deem more likely to be scum, the policy lynch for CSL can comfortably go through with no deadline rush etc. Especially since each day is essentially 7 days.
If we find someone more likely to scum, we can just switch our votes over.
I don't see what's anti-town about this strategy at all.-

Possibly. But that's meta. It plays a large role in scumhunting- get used to it.Ellibereth wrote:If/When he starts playing anti-town, are you guys planning to meta-excuse him?
I don't agree to that, and I doubt there will be a policy lynch on CSL anyway.I'll agree to not policy lynch him if we all agree to throw meta out the window for this game, at such a fast pace any anti-town play-style should be unacceptable.-

To conclude what my other fruit just said: If he plays anti-Town, I'll try to get him to stop hurting the Town. If he plays scummy, I will vote him and try to get him lynched. Itisharder to read people whoalwaysplay anti-Town to begin with, but it is absolutely possible to do. I'll give CSL the benefit of the doubt until he looks scummy. Got it?
Elli, I love how you try to suggest a policy lynch, try to act like it's something we all want (clearly not the case), and then generously offer to trade it for throwing meta out the window (bad because meta is often very useful in determining if someone is actually expressing a scumtell and what personal scum/towntells are specific to a given player).
I dislike the idea of initially piling onto CSL all at once at the beginning of the day anyway; likely that we'll end up not agreeing enough and not doing enough about it because we have a (supremely sub-optimal) fallback lynch. Especially with scum manipulation, this could happen way too easily. Or we'll split onto different wagons (which will all be better than a policy-based wagon because they're based on scumhunting and will give us real information as opposed to information about players' Mafia theory beliefs) and when we can't agree instead of working things out, compromising, generating more discussion we'll believe that because CSL is thjust say 'but we agreed on CSL before' and fall back on it. Okay, the example was a bit repeptitive, but I'm frustrated at the very suggestion, which is akin to "let's immediately put anti-Town player at like L-3 at the beginning of Day 1 and scumhunt from there' - there are reasons, similar to what I've illustrated, why thisneverhappens.-

Yes. But it doesn't mean he's scum. How about you read this again:Ellibereth wrote:It's an indicator of his overall past scummy play.
Someone does not get a 44% D1 lynch rate when their play is pro-town.
Plumegranate wrote:If he plays anti-Town, I'll try to get him to stop hurting the Town. If he plays scummy, I will vote him and try to get him lynched. It is harder to read people who always play anti-Town to begin with, but it is absolutely possible to do. I'll give CSL the benefit of the doubt until he looks scummy.

But not taking advantage of an additional town-directed kill would not be useful.Pro-town? Setting up the lynch of a player, who has done nothing yet, in case we can't find someone "better" is pro-town for you? I do not believe that lynching just for the sake of meeting a 7-day deadline is pro-town.
Juls summarizes my thoughts exactly. SB comes next.Juls wrote:With three days until "deadline" I will likely be sticking with DRK but mal/CSL has solidified as a backup choice for me.
Elli isn't on my list (IDK, it might still be on my other fruit's) because he seems pro-town, but I still think the policy lynch idea was scummy, and I'm not forgetting it.This is a Plum + Pomegranate alt.-

This is Plum, brief notes on a brief reread.
SB gives me gut scum feelings, probably really null.
DRK's comment about what little Vaya had posted being scummy when Vayahadn't posted at allis hella scummy.Unvote; Vote: DRK. The response is even scummier. Yes, you can argue that not posting during the pregame is scummy (I'll remain unconvinced it's not among the weakest of scumtells, but that's a different story). You cannot argue that Vaya's posted little and what she's posted was scummy if all she posted was "/confirm". That's the most null thing a player could possibly post. You didn't say his lack of posting was scummy; you said the actual provided content is scummy. Misrep and the backpedal-wimpiness + sudden vote on attacker is majorly scummy.
Bogre's defense of DRK in this is noted.
Is a Day influenced by having an easy default policy lynch/random lynch better or worse than a day without? I say potentially worse. Theory-wise, I disagree. I'd rather that our competing wagons are on people that others find scummy, not random players. Pretty sure this is a null policy disagreement, though.manho wrote:is a random lynch better than a no lynch?
if random lynch is better, then we should get someone over the lynching criteria first.
The tone of a neutral "/confirm"? You should also be voting Juls, Elli, and me; and Annachie's confirm was only different in that it had a period at the end. I'm calling BS. And DRK does acknowledge that his attack, which he portrayed as serious, was abso-freaking-lutely ridiculous. Annachie's case on DRK looks good on scan, too. This doesn't preclude Elli scum at all; this is just more strongly scummy. I find it weird that Elli votes Annachie with just "didn't like his post at all" and no indication of the actual scumtells he found.DeathRowKitty wrote:Just the tone I got from it seemed scummy. I can see how you might disagree.
I beg to differ:DeathRowKitty wrote:
I didn't want CSL policy lynched.Annachie wrote:It's also in part what you wanted CSL policy lynched for.
Yar, scumbag. Even if it was just to stir the pot - no. Just no. It feels like an "I acted scummy to increase the info and get us out of the RVS" excuse, which is usually, as I indicated, anDeathRowKitty wrote:
Join our policy lynch wagon. It's more likely to get us somewhere than a wagon for Elli mixing up his games.SB wrote: Chu chu chu!
Vote: Elli
I'm on your policy lynch wagon. Do I get your vote for that?CSL wrote: Policy lynching will net you my vote. Do not try it.excuse.
To elaborate on the sparse stuff my sister gave: I for one don't read Malp as very scummy. I can understand someone reading the post in question that way, but I simply do not. It looks like something he thought was a legitimate scumtell on the part of DRK.
As the "other fruit" I still find Elli to be among the players in this game I suspect most upon one reread on Page 9.
Why do you read this as newb-scum as opposed to null-newb, please? Stupid =/= scummy (and I can't even tell that he's stupid, per se, any more than the average newbie).Ellibereth wrote:Flareonage wrote:I was gonna vote CSL and then I realized that I'm CSL /fail

Why did this post make everyone suddenly change their minds about DRK? In fact, from what he mentioned about the QT, SB looks a lot scummier. And in general SB seems scummier to me. Could someone please explain, because the only answers I see are ones like "Just iso him" or "He's just so scummy'.DeathRowKitty wrote:Well, since neither or my neighbors seems to care what I claim, I'm neighbors with Annachie and Snow_Bunny.
I seriously think one of them is scum and I've been flip-flopping over which one. I'm currently leaning Annachie. As a matter of fact,
Vote: Annachie.
As far as what was said, there's been nothing particularly important. One thing that concerns me though is that I said I wanted a wagon on CSL, not a lynch, which Annachie has since ignored.
Mostly the discussion has consisted of:- Me describing what I'm trying to do
- Annachie responding and giving his take
- Snow_Bunny not posting
Yes, I think it was a pain that I wasn't around for deadline too, but as Juls said, it's unavoidable. If you care to check it happens in all of my (Pom) games, as well as Plum.don_johnson wrote:ebwop:vote: annachie
just realized we have a choice here. do not AT ALL like the fact that pluemgranate is going to be v/la around every single deadline for lynch.
But I don't think that we'll miss every deadline, only the ones in this game day. Once we have a night, everything won't be set to specific day (lynch deadline Friday night at midnight, for example).
I didn't say that, if I recall, and I agree that more discussion is better.

I see no reason for her not too, once she's claimed jalkeeper. (In response to SBs most recent post: I see your reasoning. If you don't want to, don't, as you know the specifics of your role and we don't, but I still think stating your past target, if there was one could be helpful. If you were jailing someone at the time of the kill, it could be of use. But ultimately, it depends on what info you have, so it's your choice.)don_johnson wrote:^^ well, the only reason for sb to reveal her target in thread is for future use. if fish is town then she could reveal it in quicktopic, but then we have to trust fish with that info. more than likely, sb is the next mafia kill. i would rather have the info in this thread before she dies.
now lets lynch bigmc. plumegranate is now my number two target. the v/la is too convenient to ignore.
flareonage and manho could be lurking scum. if there is a vig, kill them please.
We are both V/LA in all of our games at this time, so I'm sorry if it seems "convenient". It's a pain, but it's weekly and that's that. If you want to check, you can see that neither of us has ever made a post Friday at midnight (at least in our timezone).
I find it slightly scummy that you keep pushing this forward. It's unavoidable, and didn't "conveniently" pop up right around the time the game started.
Flare and Manho are scummy, yes. Especially manho. He's V/LA until the 17th.
FoS: manho.

All of his posts, except for one one-liner, have been about the early back-up lynch on CSL. Though I disagreed with it, there's still other scumhunting to be done.

I played with him once as scum before, but I can't remember his play perfectly- I don't think it was that similar, or that different (I fund it hard to tell because of his lurking). The lurking is scummy in it's own right.

Why does this not fit with Fishy's claimed role? He said that he has one vig shot, which could have cause the result you got in him. If there is a flaw in my reasoning, please point it out.Ellibereth wrote:My pm has a very clear list of the roles with guns.

Pre-post edit: I see what you are saying, Elli, that JOAT wasn't on your list. I'm not sure... on one hand, the fact that vig was on Elli's list, and Fishy has a vig shot could cause a guilty, but JOAT wasn't on the list. I'm going to do more thinking about this.This is a Plum + Pomegranate alt.-

I don't think Fishy is scum. I'd rather lynch flare, manho, or possibly Snow_Bunny.
The fact that two PRs have claimed in the past couple pages is sad. This is D2. I understand why it happened, but I still think it's a pain.
I especially like Fishy's case on Flare- the large amount of votes vs. the small amount of scumhunting, reasoning, and original posting is scummy. The fact that he jumps oneverybandwagon doesn't look good for him.
