Micro 215: Shitty Joke Smalltown (over)

[N]

Should I do another of these?

[uctriton00]

That is what you call excellent bussing, Varsoon

Jeebus you did great

[Varsoon]

It's my win, FuDuzn.

[Varsoon]

Yes, N, it made my day. I loved it.

[FuDuzn]

Fun game, my apologies to jk for accusing you.

Seriously though, why believe Varsoon? And kudos to uct, I had you solidly as town.

[N]

No replacements at all this game! You guys rock!

[uctriton00]

p.s. i was serious about when chkflip wanted to replace out. I could have sworn that on some wiki or some site guideline, that you can't just replace out of a game because it's not "going well" for you. That's a **** move.

[Varsoon]

Yeah, it's just a shit move.

And we had such a good Lylo play. If I was lynched, everyone would WIFOM into either FuDuzn bussing me or JK being my partner.

[uctriton00]

Ok I can't find it, and it looks like the closest thing I have is the Newbie queue rules where they say you can get banned from the queue from replacing too many times.

Either way I just think it's selfish/rude to do that to a moderator and to other players in the game. chkflip hopefully you understand and try not to do that again. Oh and while I have your attention, how about including Dead QTs in Newbie games?

Not until someone pointed it out that I realized that killing the Tracker would make so much more sense than killing the Vanillaiser. My power was useless as scum since I wouldn't ever kill myself, and being Loved is useless in LYLO.

[JKMatthews]

Shit son, never would've picked that team.
Sorry FuDuzn, at the end of the day I thought it was you and Varsoon, but was more sure about you. It was more a matter of distrusting you than trusting Varsoon...

Varsoon here.

That's level 1/2 play. If we killed the tracker, it'd implicate us, because we'd be scared he'd track us to the kills.
By killing the Vanillaiser, we make town think that we're the scum that doesn't want to be made Vanilla.

[Faster Than Light]

Or, at least, that scum has something to fear from being made vanilla.

If that makes sense.

Also, my kills in this game were based around players more than abilities.

[uctriton00]

what does level 1/2 mean

[Faster Than Light]

I've got this whole idea of how people play the game when it comes to WIFOM and the levels of WIFOM they put up.

Essentially, Level 1 play is playing like your role. For instance, a Level 1 town hunts scum and doesn't do anything scummy because he's town. Level 1 scum is very obviously scummy and trying to get mislynches pushed.
Level 2 scum might bus an ally or try to appear town. Level 2 town might try to look scummy to catch opportunistic scum.
etc etc etc

[Nobody Special]

Should I do another of these?

You'd better!

[Faster Than Light]

So, if we were playing a level 1 or 2 scum game, we're basically playing the obvious scumgame for ourselves. Our kills are on people who directly threaten us.

I was implementing level 3+ tactics here, basically, having the kills be based around PRs and people that would implicate other players because they were not a huge threat to us, directly.

The important thing is that it's not a hierarchy. Level 5 play isn't better than level 1 play, it's just more nuanced and creates a thicker wall of deception/WIFOM.

You might say "Why play level 1 scum, then?" and the answer is because some people lose to it. The whole too dumb to be scum thing.

[nickthename]

Few, I was worried I was going to have to make that decision! Good play scum.

[chkflip]

Wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooow...

[Varsoon]

Mwahaha~

Chkflip, I'm glad you were unable to shoot FuDuzn. It set me up for the perfect victory. :3

[chkflip]

Tard town is tard.

[Faster Than Light]

Tard town is tard.

That's 'cus we NK'd and lynched all the town that we expected were huge threats and could've become strong town leaders.
