Ok I'm back. Thanks for your patience everyone.
@CTD: Based on game size, I'd say 3 scum, 1 SK. Could be just 4 "vanilla" scum based on game title. If you're looking for a concrete answer...sorry, I'm not scum so I don't know. Ask Peter, John, or Paradoxombie, also possibly Raffles if you want a definite answer.
I'm happier with a Peter lynch than John, but either way I think we're hitting scum.

That your answer is "3 scum, 1 SK or 4 vanilla scum" when directly asked is highly inconsistent to me, and strongly suggests that your lying.
Mustafa15's last post, namely the complete lack of acknowledgement that someone called for his lynch reinforces my belief that my vote is in the right place. I'll outline how my vote got there in the first place when I have some more time.
Can we lynch both these guys, please?-

@VRK.
Because you didn't post any reason for your vote on me I had to do some digging. This appears to be the best thing I can come up with. If you have a better reason, please share.
Well, which is it? Should I have continued to attack Guardian despite how it is "difficult to sway someone's oppinion"? You certainly outline a damned if I do, damned if I don't situation.Vel-Rahn Koon wrote:Assume Peter is scum. He went after Guardian for a bit of a nit-picky reason (Guardian's stance that Town players should play to live).
...to keep going after someone for such a personal issue is a bit like arguing about gun-control or abortion rights - it's difficult to sway someone's opinion in this case.
...I get the impression that Peter kept hitting this as one of his only arguments for Guardian as scum, and when the rest of the players didn't jump on, he said "ok nevermind, this is distracting". A change of tack was warranted if Peter is scum because he isn't getting the necessary town reaction.
So, when I put pressure on someone to get a reaction, it makes me scummy. But when Thesp does it, it draws your admiration. Oookay...VRK wrote:Welcome Thesp, glad to have you with us. I like your play style btw. Very interesting way to get reactions from people.
Uh... unless of course, the person you are putting pressure on is Guardian.VRK wrote:If you feel that someone is scum, you go after them. You pressure them, you make them slip up.
Seriously VRK, do you have a good reason for your vote on me??

I think that VRK was just guessing at the number of scum in the examples you showed, and I don't really think that it's enough to deserve a vote. I'm not liking paradoxombie right now.-

Day 1: 9/3
Night 1: 8/3
Day 2: 7/3
Night 2: 6/3
Day 3: 5/3
Night 3: 4/3
Day 4 game ends scum win. It's a valid assumption: considering that we don't know anything at all about the make-up of the game, we can guess as to the number of scum there are based on previous games of this size. And, consider the context from which you took that quote - I was explaining why we should take our time and have as much discussion as possible. You're misrepresenting me by just focusing on the numbers when in fact it's not all that scummy when taken in context. I'm advocating that we be careful, not listing hard numbers.
Sorry, I came up with one extra this go around. Is 4 any more of an unbelieveable number than 3? I don't have any excuse for 4 this time vs. 3 in 41 and 118, so take it as you will. But, if this is the entire basis for your argument for your vote on me, I think it needs some work.CTD wrote:That your answer is "3 scum, 1 SK or 4 vanilla scum" when directly asked is highly inconsistent to me, and strongly suggests that your lying.

"If everything goes against the town, the game will be over by day 3" doesn't sound like an assumption to me.

I believe that every player comes into a game with a certain mindset. Twice you assumed a 3-person scumteam in the course of normal discussion. What made you reconsider when I asked you? It certainly wasn't anything that happened in the game, because you based your new theory on game size and game title.Sorry, I came up with one extra this go around. Is 4 any more of an unbelieveable number than 3? I don't have any excuse for 4 this time vs. 3 in 41 and 118, so take it as you will.
I believe that you are scum, and that you lied, because telling the truth would expose you for what you are.
A bit overdefensive? I'm not even voting you. Which also means that there is no bandwagon for Peter Venkman to jump on, which makes your accusations against him ironic in more than one way.But, if this is the entire basis for your argument for your vote on me, I think it needs some work.
You see, it's not the entire basis for my argument. I also have you in my notes for jumping on wagons at opportune moments (my predecessor, Avinyl and now Peter Venkman).
Another thing that made me scratch my head was the way you jumped off Avinyl in your post #382:

No need to defend your scumbuddy like that. It's not only bad play, but also considered rude to answer questions adressed at other players. I'll see if I can whip up a case against you tonight.-

Bandwagoning with whom? CTD is voting on Mustafa. Are you even paying attention?VRK wrote:Peter, nice bandwagon
Further, the "Lets kill Peter" train has been primarily You, Guardian, and Avi (a lingering vote from the past).
So... who is bandwagoning?
If you hadgoodreasons for voting me they would be ready on your mind, and a quick post would have done nicely. Looks to me like you need time to dig through my posts to pick some stuff out. Have fun with that. I look forward to your awkward acusation.

Wow, almost 36 hours and only Paradox has posted.
I don't have anything new to add, but I would like to remind everyone there is a deadline approaching. The scum aren't going to stand up and reveal themselves. If you aren't comfortable lynching someonenow, you won't be better off when the deadline arrivesunless you start some conversation.
Avi hasn't posted in 11 days.
John hasn't posted in 6 days.
Raffles hasn't posted in 4 days.
...and a whole lot of you are at three days.
I would like to see Avi replaced, and John and Raffles given a prod.

Here's my uber quick analysis on everyone:
John: Seems town, scary possibility of being a SK (if there is one), icky playstyle vote on Thesp, and Guardian to "quiet him down"
Avi: where are you? I empathize with your situation, not a ton scummy, except for not being here, and too-townie spiel.
Occult: Early scum pair hint?? with his 7th post. Constant attack of Avi.
gorckat: town, direct quesions, good analysis.Occult wrote:Now this is interesting, Avinyl hasn't posted about the same amount of time Vry had, but we're not jumping on him.....
mustafa: lurks, gets on people for lurking, not alot of content.
VRK: getting crap for guessing scum numbers, nothing screaming scum.
Thesp: town looking for reactions, and gets them, DLMF wasn't helpful.
Peter: he got on VRK for guessing #scum, when early on, he guessed aswell.
, insists that townies shouldn't be worried about being lynched. Nothing incredibly scummy, just some oddities, like everyone has.Peter wrote:With 1/4 to 1/3 of the players being on their team
Paradoxombie: I've already outlined you.
Raffles: defense of friend. Nothing screaming scum.
CTD: attacks on mustafa, VRK.

I attacked VRK because of Post 41.
As CTD pointed out, and VRK admitted, he estimated those numbers with three scum. He didn't add any caveats. It sounds like someone who knows the exact number of scum. Later, when confronted with the new knowledge of a possible SK (which scum wouldn't know about), he adjusts his numbers.
In addition, his treatment of me isn't consistant. I outlined my feelings not even one page ago in Post 455, and Post 462.
