Anyway time for a random vote.
Vote: somestrangeflea
Why did you feel the need to random vote when you actually had a suspect for what you claimed were real reasons? That looks to me as though you're trying to "fit in", and Town shouldn't have to try.

So? If you have any suspicion at all of someone at this early stage, what good will it do to the Town throwing a random vote out there?

This is why there is one vote on AlyG.

Random voting appears to be the reason there are another 3.

Also, AlyG and somestrangeflea have both been active in other games since they've posted here. In the case of AlyG, this is particularily suspicious, since he was under some scrutiny as a recall. And yeah, I know this poking around will probably bug you, SSF, but I would like to hear from you regarding recent developments, if only it's something like Theo said; that you're waiting on CLA or someone else before commenting futher.
I am waiting on CLA before commenting further... ;)

Apologies. I have been quiet this game, but this was partially intentional. The game seems to have a "conversational style", for lack of any better words. I've read the posts in this thread, then refreshed to literally find ten more.

cicero wrote:But then Flea, the recipient of the random vote, comes along and questions that logic. But in no way do I see how scum would benefit from such a reaction. Nor do I see ANY rationale behind the assertion that this is the move that a scum who was trying to look town would make. Just the opposite.
I expect scum to try very hard not to do anything that might get flagged at all.
Put simply I personally would have been more likely to do what AlyG did if I was town than if I was scum.
I agree with the bolded point entirely. However, the way I see it, AlyG was trying to not get flagged by acting similarly to everyone else by random voting. Yes, AlyG was trying to do something that wouldn't get flagged in any way, but I thought that he had simply failed at that.
cicero wrote:Finally, I notice that Flea has a tendency to OMGUS. He voted for AlyG after AlyG randomly voted for him and has just voted for me after I made this case of suspicion against him. I bring this to the town's attention not as a scum tell, but to suggest you keep it in mind when assessing his motivation for any further votes. Not that they will continue being OMGUS (after reading this he'll be unlikely to do that) but because if he IS a townie, he seems to have an emotional knee jerk elements to his voting.
Quite true. I seem to have a tendancy to look harder for holes in other's arguments against me.

To be fair, that's a pretty WIFOM point. Some scum have a tendency to "buddy up" with townies.
Prof. Guppy wrote:3. Flea has been lurking on purpose. I've heard that is a big scumtell.
Please come up with your own arguments. Suspecting people based on what "you've heard" are scumtells is incredibly poor. Otherwise, I'd be suspecting you because you gave a numbered list.
I've heard
that's a scumtell...

No I'm not. I suppose that's pretty easy to miss though. Except you didn't...

Is this not effectively OMGUS voting on behalf of someone else?

No, your assertation is WIFOM. Mine uses Occi-whats-his-name's Razor. Often, the simple explanation is the best one.
I find it suspicious that you replied 3 hours after cirero's previous post, yet you didn't address any of his points, and the above was the only point of mine you addressed. Please do so...

Since when were you the sole judge of what is and isn't a scumtell? Especially regarding your own actions?

1. Your "strangle" list is just a list of people who have fallen inactive. I don't feel that this classes as lurking. Not only that, but I can simply remedy this by saying
Mod: Prod Daedalus
.
2. Your "should consider lynching" is just a list of people who have lurked at some point in the game. AlyG hasn't posted in 3 days, so I'm going to post
Mod: Prod AlyG
, and, apart from my lurking, you don't actually have anything on me.

Other than lurking, you have very little on anyone, TBH. Put all your points on your top suspects into a single post, and you may get a response addressing them

As for Eroto, I'm gonna
Unvote
, but I will be keeping a close eye on you. I have this theory that players who subtly refuse to answer questions directed at them are scum. Don't take this too heavily at the moment though. It's just a theory, and I'm quite tempted to just throw out everything PJ has said under the impression that it's all just total bullshit.

But AlyG isn't inactive, that's the problem. He's not contributing anything to the game, and he's posting just enough to avoid replacement.

And since I *highly* doubt that you actually think I'm scum, you might want to put it somewhere useful instead of waving it around like a bat.
If you have three people who are, in your mind, cleared from being scum, you have three too many. Clearing one player, without investigations or whatever, isn't very good, let alone three!

I find it incredibly hard to read BM, since his playstyle is just plain weird to me... That being said, scummy is scummy, regardless of playstyle.

Jester wrote:a) the argument over Prof. Guppy's play;
Prof. Guppy's play was incredibly scummy, no doubt about it, and neither of the replacements have actually contributed very much (although I imagine Skruffs will). I have noticed that PG's crimes seem to have been paid less attention to after he replaced out, which seems kinda weird...
Jester wrote:b) the argument between cicero and White;
I'm on White's side in this argument... However, something else I've noticed is that this game does seem to have, or has had, a number of volatile players. Without meaning to sound too patronising, but myself, cicero, White, BM and PG seem to have trouble keeping calm, which can't be good...
Jester wrote:c) Battle Mage's play, when he was in the game?
Battle Mage's play is... alternative, to say the least.

However, broken logic is scummy, not a playstyle...

Inconsistency? They are two completely unrelated posts.
1 = In the argument between you and White, I believed that White was correct.
2 = I disliked the fact that my argument with you was cut short.

Other than the keyword "argument", there's nothing about the two posts which are in anyway related to each other.

True. That was simply an overview comment on the game as a whole though...

Unlike our other lurkers, you're active enough that you could be playing, but you're not.

The fact of the matter is this. We have been looking for a replacement for Kakeng for over a week, and we haven't got one yet. In terms of gameplay, he may as well be dead. The chance of a replacement appearing is, IMO, decreasing, and we may as well lose dead weight...

You think it's likely we have two backups huh? Usually town has 2/3 power roles - imagine being scum spotting the doctor only to find out there's another one or the cop for instance.
I agree that a backup is terribly swingy, it's essentially a combined Deputy/Nurse. Skitzer appears to believe that there are at least three, judging by his use of "another" instead of "the other". Surely you must know that a Nurse themselves is seen by many as unbalancing, so I'm not sure that you genuinely believe that this is a setup which could, potentially, have a backup backup backup Doc. Or a backup backup backup Cop. Or a back up Doc and a back up back up Cop. Etc.

Vote: skitzer


If the Kakeng replacement situation doesn't improve, I will advocate his lynch, purely in an attempt to get this game out of stasis...

Wow. This actually looks sort of like scumhunting.

/snark off.

I agree with your target and conclusion here Flea but not your reasoning. Do you really think Skitzer is thinking at the level of weighing game balance? I mean you have seen how skitzer plays and yet you wrote "surely you must know that a nurse themselves is seen by many as unbalancing". I didn't know that and I think it's fair to say that I have a greater grasp of the proceedings than Skitzer shall we say.

Do you think he is better at Mafia than he is letting on?
Hmm. It seems Thesp's essay was written a lot earlier than I thought it was... The "surely you must know..." was a bit condescending, and now wrong, so apologies due there...

However, I do stand by my point though that
three
backups does seem like a scum overkill, and I do believe that skitzer would realise
that
. Gives me a slight hint of rolefishing, TBH...

I agree thoroughly with the theory that Gorgon was vigged, and that Jester was killed by the Mafia and an SK, mainly because I don't really see an alternative.

Sorry guys. I seem to be falling out of some of my games recently. This isn't the only game of mine to suffer. I won't reference specific games, but if you browse around you'll find them easily enough...

Cicero, I don't think it's fair that you agree with me that Jester's death is a null tell, before telling Skruffs that its not a town tell, and then maintaining that is is a scum tell.

Pwayne, your 858 isn't an analysis. You've summarized my posts and added some top notch sarcasm, but this:
pwayne wrote: (INTERUPTION:WHo is thesp anyway?)
seems to be the only thing you've actually added...

Thesp wrote an essay about the severe brokenness of the Nurse role, which I attempted to apply here.
cicero wrote:Such as in the case I initially made against you which interested parties can read by using the drop down menu and reading my posts on the subject starting at my 19, 21 and particularly 23. Incidentally clicking the tiny white square in the upper left of any post will open the whole thread so you can see things in context.
I see. I think we're going to have to agree that we are at an impasse with regards to that situation. I saw AlyG's vote as having scummy logic behind it, you disagree and find me scummy for bandwagonning and OMGUSing. [/argument]
cicero wrote:Who do you like in the Pwayne vs. Skruffs argument and why? What do you think of Skruffs overall? What do you think of White? Who do you think are scum in this game - and why?
For your first Q, please link me to what you're referring to. I assume you can remember where it is...

For your other 3, I'll reread the thread soon and answer. I hope...
pwayne wrote:@SSF- What I see right off the bat is intentional lurking and a flippant attitude towards it. Several "joking" OMGUSs also. These are basic scumtells but you seem to do them deliberately. Why?
Lurking - there's a huge difference between intending to do something and
wanting
to do something. I intend to go to work tomorrow, but I don't want to...
I felt I've made it clear that, at the time in question (around pages 6-10, IIRC), the lurking was intentional due to the nature of the conversation at the time. I wanted to post, but felt it would be unproductive and distracting from the topic at hand.
OMGUS - Different reasons for different votes. Find me specific votes you're interested in please!
pwayne wrote:It is worth mentioning that while doing his PBPA, flea is responsible for 3 of our 35 pages. Nearly 10% and more than his share of the 12 people would require. But compared to me (5) pages and Cicero (7), SSF is lurking.
I don't think it's fair to pick out 2 specific people to compare me to. Compared to the game as a whole, I'm fairly active, you said so yourself. Why is it that I'm scummy simply because I haven't been keeping up with you and cicero?

I agree with cicero that mod-kills and deadlines are needed soon. I realise that I'm being anti-town, but I am always more pro-game than pro-alignment.

TS's entry to the game was... different, to say the least. Advocating your own lynch can never be a good thing...
