I suggest others pressure him to vote; his non-vote is alarming

[Xite91]

Taz, are you on any new medication?

[Parama]

Taz is a Ythan alt.

[Xite91]

Makes a little more sense, but he seems a little.... odd even for Ythan.

For the uninitiated, my system works as follows. Each player starts at a score of 50 (on a 0 - 100 scale). Scumminess pushes it up. Towniness lowers it. It is uncommon for people to ever actually go below 50. So that I don't have to repeat this ad nauseum later, a score of 50 at the end of the proces does not mean "no opinion"; it means "neutral".

All post #s are ISO numbers.

Xite

:
1: Reasoning on mass pop claim is very weak, and worse that he couples it with an accusation of role-fishing. Newbish; whether it is scummy depends on how this carries forward.
2: Reiterates the weak reasoning about scum convincing town that they (the scum) are town in QTs
3: Says he is eager to join Tasky's wagon (despite not joining it earlier:

Tasky/Xite scumteam evidence

)
4: Joins the wagon. Adds at the end "I'll help push him". Newb bussing tactic of declaring your eagerness:

Tasky/Xite scumteam evidence

5: On being asked to claim, he does - despite his strong opposition earlier. +1
7: Floats the idea of quicklynches, but in ISO8 says it was a joke...
14: Really bad attack on Friend, who rightly said that a mass pop claim wouldn't help scumhunting but would help neighbourising, in saying: "So you just want to because it could help neighborizing? but not scum hunting... hmm". Not only is the logic to this weak, but Xite presents it like something really intriguing (ie "Hmm"). +1
20: Rehashes the same weak argument, but in even strnoger language with: "And the reason it was scummy that you would push a claim was that you even said yourself that it wouldn't be beneficial to scum-hunting". +1
26: Really simplistic attack on Friend for allegedly simply dismissing what Xite said, but Friend's posts are much clearer and it isn't mere dismissal. +2

Nothing useful from Shify and CSL

50: Really bad attack on Parama, purely on the basis that Sando flipped town, which also serves to make Parama-scum seem dangerous. +2

Score: 59

How new is this scale, vollkan?

Vote volkan

I agree with this.

[vollkan]

How new is this scale, vollkan?

Very old.

When I first did it, I did it by custom in all games, but it's progressively become something I do when I am without a clear candidate. I should also say that a score of 70 is my theoretical voting threshold. I find more and more that people aren't getting to 70 (ie. I end up voting the highest score, but that score isn't above 70), which is a product of me turning more and more to the view that "99% of scumtells are bullshit".

VasudeVa

2: No real reasoning or analysis here, despite conclusions
4: Weak argument against Sando based on aggression (not a scumtell) +1
5: Position here doesn't make sense at all. He leaves Tasky wagon to join another, but is clear that he still thinks Tasky is a good lynch. BUT, at the same time, says that the Tasky wagon "reeks" of scum +2
7: Every one of his attacks on Prana here simply stretches what Prana said to make the worst possible interpretation of it. +1 (only reason it isn't +2 is that since there was no wagon on PD, there isn't clear opportunism)
25: jumps onto RC, says he has a pretty good chance of flipping scum - despite earlier having said he found RC hard to read. +1
26: Then swaps to Taz, without any explanation as to why. +1

Score: 57

I agree with this.

You just moved into my top three scum candidates. Which means you pushed vollkan out.

The rotating door policy continues! NicolBolas re-replaces iiiiiiq.

Deadline is still August 25th.

[Andrius]

@ vollkan: I was just curious, because I didn't see it in Prison Mafia.

Welcome back NicolBolas!

[NicolBolas]

I'm back. I need to read this game, then I'll post my thoughts...

[vezokpiraka]

LOL.
Why do people leave and come back?

[NicolBolas]

I left because I was under a lot of pressure from my real life.

I'm under less pressure now. so i came back after noticing my slot was behaving embarrassingly by not posting much.

[Tazaro]

@MOD: vote count, please? I just came back from being missing all day.

[Andrius]
