Mini 557 - Contagion - The End!

[dahen]

The 'democracy' to 'autocracy' bit is crap

What you don't seem to address is that is that you are not choosing

if

a "good" player should be infected and thus decide who to kill, but

when

. My opinion is that it's better for the town to infect "bad" townies first and "good" townies later. Maybe that's what you are saying too?

(I'm not saying that I or anybody else is capable of deciding who are good and who are bad townies, but you seem to think in those patterns.)

[DragonsofSummer]

In my experience killing UA on the first day is very much the wrong thing to do... Especially if he is advocating killing himself.

Spring, why Psychocide over the other two players on your list?

[DrippingGoofball]

Psychocide.

And your other choices were SSF and The Jester?

TOWNIES, shall we contaminate SSF, or the Jester?

[skitzer]

Three suspects:

rosso carne, for volunteering himself.

springlullaby, for not making sense of my making sense. And also saying "killing" in her above post rather than "lynching"

dahen, for not originally getting my initial post. It may be my second post, I'm not sure. The one where I simplify the mechanics to myself.

[The Jester]

I'm confused, so because he said PSY would be his choice. It's between SSF and I? Why?

It did say if we don't infect someone, there's another manner in which someone is infected. What does anyone think it could be? Would it be helpful or hurtful for Town?

[DrippingGoofball]

I'm confused, so because he said PSY would be his choice. It's between SSF and I?

Exactly. That's exactly right.

[Simenon]

springlullaby, for not making sense of my making sense.

That's rather silly, isn't it?

I think dahen's analysis consists of mostly fluff. I am not impressed.

[Rosso Carne]

im excited that you used the word fluff.

[skitzer]

Fluff Dip for Fruit is extremely tasty...

back on subject: it made sense to me, spring lullaby didn't get my working out of the game mechanics.

[Simenon]

Unvote
Vote skitzer

OMG what have I done? I've basically stated that Day 1 is most important in this game, and ssf agreed with me.

Any post that starts with "OMG" seems to be rather obviously insincere.

His top three suspects all have shaky supporting reasons. Misinterpretation is not a reason to be suspicious of someone. And yet, he is opposed to SL for "not making sense of my making sense" and doesn't like dahen for "not originally getting my initial post."

The rest of his posts are unfortunate wastes of space.

[Simenon]

spring lullaby didn't get my working out of the game mechanics.

I don't understand the relevance of 4/5 of your posts. How is that scummy?

[Simenon]

Vote Count

, please

[skitzer]

Simenon, what are you doing?

[dahen]

Finally some movement.
DGB: I guessed you would do something along these lines. Asking springlullaby to be specific and select one of the others. That will work if springlullaby is scum and lists two townies and a scum (which is likely) in her list and then selects a townie.

What I don't get is why your reasoning suggest that you believe springlullaby to be scum, but you'd rather vote for a scum partner?
Say springlullaby IS scum and DID select two townies and one scum on her list, and DID select one of the townies when forced to choose one, then we still only have a 50% shot at finding the other scum on the list. What if we don't? Are we then going to select the other one tomorrow for a 100% shot or assume that springlullaby is town only because we guessed wrong. Aren't you going to advocate her lynch anyway?

And on the other hand, if springlullaby is town, then by lynching someone else, we will not get much useful information since springlullaby could not possibly have known more than we do (if her claim is true).

Now that you have made springlullaby answer her question, would you mind explaining your strategy?

N.B. I have been talking about lynches today and tomorrow even though it's really a matter of infection and we don't get a majority say tomorrow. Anyway I will assume that the majority opinion tomorrow at least will have some inpact on the coming choice of infections and use the common way of thinking.

You are assuming that I am not crazy.

I have no idea whether springlullaby is scum. But later in the game, when we gain information on the players sprinlullaby named, or springlullaby herself, we'll have more solid info than just a list of 3 people. We'll have the list of 3 people, the one player she picked, and the two players she didn't pick.

And then I want to see how people will react to the suggestion that we infect one of the two players she didn't pick.

So I don't know who the best infection is for today, but what I try to do is to get people involved with each other, and leave traces, so that we can catch them later.

Just trust the Goofball, ok? I'm setting up the mouse traps.

[DrippingGoofball]

I want the following players to vote, or give a reason why they're not voting that I will approve of (and I'm not a benevolent judge of non-voters):

Skitzer
TheJester
Somestrangeflea
springlullaby

[Psychocide]

All through the first 3 pages, Rosse hasn't even bothered to be half serious. Normally it's not a big deal, but in a game with time limits it counts for something, I think. Then on page 4 he jumped on the springlullaby wagon with no reasoning, and UA followed right after putting him at L-1.

I don't think springlullaby is scummy, myself. Simenon said she seems awkward, which I agree with, but she

is

new, so that's only normal imo. Then she replied with:

Lol Simenon, you are so scummy.

And DoS voted her for it. Then DGb voted, followed by Rosso and UA very quickly. As dahen said:

I agree that springlullaby is acting weird, but the speed this wagon smells of scum.

That be my reasoning. And I don't completely believe that assisting suicide is a bad thing.

[The Jester]

Eh, once we decide on an infected, as you say majority vote isn't exactly an option.

I'm just not sure who I think is scummy enough for a vote, if we go too crazy, things might get out of hand. Town gets infected, s/he sees the one who advocated his/her lynch, infects them, etc etc.

I still want to explore what happens if we don't infect anyone, it's said someway in which we don't know, someone else will be infected. Is this random? Or what?

[skitzer]

Well,

vote: dahen

he seems to be playing that game in a way that, at points, minorly contradicts himself...or at least it appears so to me.

[Psychocide]

Someone will be infected. How, we don't know, but they will. Else that'd ruin the whole point of the game. Possibly the infected mouse bites them and they become infected, and the mouse seems attracted to the one with the most votes.

[Rosso Carne]

dont call me rosse you dickhead.

[dahen]

DG: Thanks for your post. It makes sense. I will however ask you for your conclusions from the reactions that you are trying to provoke. Just tell us when you have enough reactions. Scum can just as easily as town try to create discussions and look friendly, but they will often have a harder time trying to draw conclusions the same way as townies.

[Psychocide]

dont call me rosse you dickhead.

Suck it up.
