Open 209: The Invasion of Liten (Game Over)

[SaintKerrigan]

Sarah finished telling the others about the Arkons and the Rebels. Silence permeated the small meeting room. Expressions of shock and horror traipsed everyone's faces. In the back of Sarah's mind, she couldn't help but wonder just how many of those expressions were fake.

"Dr. York, can you devise a way to scan our people and see whether or not they're Arkons?" Sarah inquired.

"I'm...I'm not sure," Haylen replied. "I'll check the data sent to us by the UTP."

Sarah nodded. "You do that."

[Slaxx]

The wording "glorius crusade" almost makes me want to jump on my own bandwagon. But I shall repress my eagerness.

[Slaxx]

-glorious

grr.

[crypto]

Unvote. Vote: Steam-Powered Shovel.

No, seriously.

[SFG]

1. Do you prefer town or scum?
I prefer power, I don't care if I'm on the light side or dark side of the Force.

2. Is lurking a scum tell?
It depends. I "lurk" on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays because I have little free time those days. If you want to know how much free time I have, ask Nik, because I tend to be on IRC when I have time and not when I don't. :P

3. Do you prefer town hunting or scum hunting?
scumhunting. You will never find scum by the process of elimination. (unless by elimination you mean lynching them)

4. How active do you normally consider yourself, in-game?
I am very active when I am here, and still sort of active but a lot less in-depth when I'm not here.

5. Policy lynches—good or bad?
Circumstantial. IMO there are two good places for policy-lynch. One of them is if we don't have a solid lead yet on D1, and the other is if we have 5 or 6 players left and we've lynched three of the four mafia, and two of the remaining players are exceedingly scummy. (aka, lynch them both)

6. Lynch All Liars—good or bad?
Bad. Lying is circumstantial and I believe there are some, even many times when it is pro-town for a town player to lie (for instance, claiming VT when you're a Doctor to allow the ability of unroleblocked protects and not being nightkilled). I hope that we can tell the difference by now between pro-town lying and scum lying.

7. Is it scummy to vote without immediately giving the reason?
It's scummy to say that this is scummy.

8. Is it bad to out your town reads?
This is largely a matter of individual playstyle, and you should do what fits you best. Also, if you are about to be hammered, I highly recommend taking the time to post any and all reads you have just in case.

[SFG]

vote: Sanhora

Talk. Nao.

[crypto]

You'd rather pressure some lurker than focus on the stuff that's actually happening?

[Pulindar]

Vote Nikanor because she's trying to buddy up with me by saying I'm town

I'm not buddying! You're the one who said that sharing town reads is a good idea, remember?
If you'd like a reason for why I think you're town, it is because your answers to crypto's questions strike me as those from someone who is interested in being as open and honest as possible i.e. a townie.

NOW I'm off to work. Be back in ~9 hours.

Thanks Nika, that's what I was wondering.

@ Crypto
Do you have a case on SPS?

[crypto]

His single post consisted of answers to my survey and an unreasoned wagon vote.

[Steam-Powered Shovel]

I like to start the day with a bandwagon. It is good for your cholesterol.

[SFG]

Sanhora has not yet posted, and if there's one thing I hate, its a lurker. Lurking isn't scummy, its just antitown. Very. Anti. Town.

We're just 2 hours into the game, SFG. Way too early for lurkerhunting.

[crypto]

/agree

[SFG]

Also, I'm not much of a fan of D1 wagons, although I recognize the technique as valid. If I see someone at L-1 for no good reason, I'm going to examine that wagon real hard, too.

[Sniper]

I will vote Horrordude0215 becasue his names stand for terror and that is reason enough to believe he will strike someone in the night.

[SFG]

nice boldface, Sniper. Glad to see you talking, though. What do you think of the wagons going on right now? Do you find any significance in Haylen's self-vote and Slaxx's comment about voting himself?

[SaintKerrigan]

@ Sniper: In order to vote for someone, you need to have it in this format:

Vote: Player X

You can bold your posts by adding the tags [ b ] [ /b ] (delete the spaces).

[Haylen]

Hey, SK. You don't have to delete the spaces when using the "code" tag.

You can code your posts like this:

Code: Select all

[code]
[b]Vote Dogs[/b]

[/code]

Didn't know. Thanks!

[Sniper]

Sorry did not know how to bold it.

I vote

Horrordude0215

.

About the bandwagon voting...it's the first day and nobody really knows much (except for those who are paired with each other). So the bandwagon is prolly just a way to get the votes on someone else becasue no one wants to leave first!

[Sniper]

Vote: Horrordude0215

[crypto]

So . . . got any thoughts about what's transpired so far, Sniper?

[Alduskkel]

1. Do you prefer town or scum?
2. Is lurking a scum tell?
3. Do you prefer town hunting or scum hunting?
4. How active do you normally consider yourself, in-game?
5. Policy lynches—good or bad?
6. Lynch All Liars—good or bad?
7. Is it scummy to vote without immediately giving the reason?
8. Is it bad to out your town reads?

1. Depends on my mood. Most of the time scum, though.
2. Yes.
3. Whatever floats your boat. Personally, I tend to scum hunt rather than town hunt though.
4. Pretty active, unless the game bores me.
5. Depends on how bad the player is, and how many mislynches are left. I'm not against it, but not gung-ho for it either.
6. How good lynch all liars is is inversely proportional to the complexity of the setup. In a simple setup like this I support it.
7. No.
8. Yes, but it's quite hard to avoid.

Vote: Haylen

. Go bandwagon go!

[Nicodemus]

Haylen's at L-2

Unvote

Strike that, Haylen is at L-3

I don't want some

Sniper

coming in and

Steam Powering

the Hammer down.

I can't tell what you are trying to do with the bolded. Be funny? Because it just kind of looks to me like you are throwing flak at random players for no reason. Why these two specifically?
