Ellie, scum defense this late in the game is bad. Stop being stubborn.Ellibereth wrote:I don't think it was a bad investigation...Ray was in my scumlist...

I would've expected scum to make up an excuse as well, but what he is doing is worse.
On the slim chance he is dumb town, do we want him outing more power roles? RayFrost is either going to be RB'd, empower killed, etc. now, and he didn't have enough time to have good investigations.
Is town bouncy even scumhunting at all? He has done nothing but try to defend his horrible stance with futile arguments.
The fact that you are ignoring his obvscum status, makes me think you are stubborn scum sticking to a scumbuddy defense. This flip is going to make or break my opinion on you, Ellie.Fate is absurdly beautiful. 運命に弄ばれる

Bleh I dunno, my gut fully believes bouncy is town.
He's been playing poorly all game and doing no scum hunting and giving excuses to not scum hunt.
He hasn't posted any suspects and instead states he did random org for checking a person he never could say he was suspicious about.Sarcasm is just a way of saying how stupid you think someone is but in a more polite way.-

Checking a player even as a role cop should be someone you think is scum. They could lie about their role or if someone claims they were RB'ed or someone says they tracked another player instead of having the player who is the actual tracker claim you know who that player actually is and to say that scum doesn't like is a fallacy. With a game that has a probability of some roles not existing it is easy to fake claim a role.bouncy.bouncy wrote:

I'm re-voting bouncy first thing in the morning. All players that have not posted after bouncy got to L-1 just make a post noting that you are here and caught up. That is all.Fate is absurdly beautiful. 運命に弄ばれる

I'm surprised how much traction my theory about the other reasons he could have claimed role-cop has taken. The random.org thing is bizarre, why would we say that if he had a scumteam though. I can't imagine him not being coached through this situation if he's that clueless about the claiming process.
Fate was questioning my reluctance to lynch bouncy (a power role), which seems to conflict my previous statements about lynching based on suspicions. To this I say, if something doesn't seem scum motivated, that can take a lot of the wind out of the sails sometimes. Claims are great ways to figure out motivations, and I'm struggling to figure out what bouncy's is.
It doesn't make sense to play this way if he has a scumteam talking to him, telling him what to do. You know?-

That is all.
If bouncy actually flips role cop, we can look into Socrates as #1 scum pick.
No one put bouncy at L-1. He will self-hammer to try to stop PRs from sending in actions.

Yeah sure if he was on AIM with his scumteam through this whole event, asking them what to post in each situation, I'd buy it.Hoopla wrote: It doesn't make sense to play this way if he has a scumteam talking to him, telling him what to do. You know?
Scum usually act independently of each other, don't overestimate the power of scum boards. I'm playing a game as scum offsite with a scumboard (not nightless) and a lot of our players did sketchy moves without asking first.
The fact that I was asking you to lynch based scum tells, and not numbers, but then calling you out for doing the former is not a contradiction. Are you suggesting you altered your play based off my advice?
The stubborn Hoopla? HA!
Devotress defends bouncy too, interesting. I really think scum would have abadoned bouncy at this point, and I'll admit VI is the only real counter-claim against my tunneling, but I don't care. VI's and anti-town vigs should be lynched all the same.
What if he scans someone else poorly and outs them? We can't let him live regardless of alignment.Fate is absurdly beautiful. 運命に弄ばれる

No, I altered my tactics based on there being a lot more information to work with. I stated multiple times on Day 1, we should only lynch based purely on numbers on Day 1. Thereafter, we have enough information to make more accurate choices, and numbers should be a back-up.Fate wrote: The fact that I was asking you to lynch based scum tells, and not numbers, but then calling you out for doing the former is not a contradiction.

Bouncy still has a decent chance of being scum, based on numbers alone and his refusal to play the game, but it doesn't make sense as scum (granted, it doesn't make sense as town either). At the moment, I'd prefer Socrates or RayFrost over this lynch.-

RayFrost is probably town. The only motivation for scum to take this, is to create some vanillas thinking a lot of townies would go for it early-ish. But they would only do this if they had other high draft picks.
~~
Thinking out loud; Fate is probably town too. He didn't crack under pressure when he was wagoned D1 - usually scum are eager to claim to disspell a wagon on them and buy more time. It kind of makes me think that maybe scum have pulled some ridiculous gambit of doubling/tripling up to put pressure on the top order of the draft.
Although, Bouncy could be a good information lynch to reassess numbers and try and figure where scum is likelier to be. And his role isn't exactly helpful for town in general, and especially now that he's outted. I think this is a good percentage play.-
