Open 209: The Invasion of Liten (Game Over)

[crypto]

Er, but those aren't random questions. I asked most of them for a reason.

[Haylen]

I know. But they were asked at the beginning of the game and could be used by scum to find out how to trick the town based on their answers. I can give you a game link of where that happened.

[Nikanor]

Lurking's a scum tell, but you "go through dry spots of lurking at times"?

Consistent lurking. i.e. The guy who pops his head in every once in a while just to defend himself will be scum 99% of the time.

High five.

^5!

Why is #7 scummy?

Bussing, mostly. As always, looking for motivation will trump catch-all scumtells, though.

Sarah stared down the long, oval, Litenwood table at the various men and women seated before her. Standing at attention by the entrance to the meeting room were armed guards, in case something went...wrong.

It was hard to stay calm, knowing that, in all likelihood, some of these people were actually Arkons, or possibly even Rebels. Although it wouldn't be easy for the actual citizens to take this news, Sarah had to tell them.

"I'm sure you're all wondering why I had you get up at 0600 to come to a meeting," Sarah began. "Unfortunately, I have some very bad news..."

Oh, also, I figure that I should say Pulindar is probably town.

[Haylen]

Unvote. Vote: Haylen.

Sorry crypto, it seems I was wrong! Haylen is the one that should be lynched today, not you.

I must agree with you here. Go for it.

[Slaxx]

I hate RQS as well. Big bandwagons turn me on, however.

[Nikanor]

So why don't you jump on the Haylen wagon, Slaxx?

I must agree with you here. Go for it.

Defeatism won't save you, scum.

horrordude, why did you not respond to what I said about you?

[horrordude0215]

horrordude, why did you not respond to what I said about you?

You said something about me?

Let me check... I must have missed it lol

[Nicodemus]

Hypothetical situation: I am an Adel-alt. Please give me your initial reaction to this news

Is this your idea of an ice-breaking joke?

Not really. Just wanted to see how you would react.

1. Do you prefer town or scum?

Town, I'm terrible as scum.

2. Is lurking a scum tell?

Not a reliable one. Active lurking, on the other hand, is a great scumtell.

3. Do you prefer town hunting or scum hunting?

Scum hunting. I second guess myself too much on my town reads.

4. How active do you normally consider yourself, in-game?

I'm usually active at the start of the game, and at the start of each new day (when extra information is available). My activity level can dip drastically in days that drag on forever or games that are uninteresting though.

5. Policy lynches—good or bad?

Depends on the lynchee. And the set-up. Overall probably bad.

6. Lynch All Liars—good or bad?

In a set-up like this? Definitely good. Only in games with incredibly complex set-ups or a wide variety of roles would it not be a good idea. Still, LAL is good 95% of the time.

7. Is it scummy to vote without immediately giving the reason?

No.

8. Is it bad to out your town reads?

I think so. It just paints a target on those players' backs.

[horrordude0215]

Vote Slaxx Admitting that you have a scum buddy is never a good thing!

I see no such thing. Stop making things up.

hello, he said that he was a friend? Friend=buddy=scum buddy! Duh!

[Slaxx]

There's a bandwagon and Slaxx isn't on it?

Thats just absurd.

[Haylen]

Big bandwagons turn me on

Big cocks turn me on.

[Nikanor]

I'm going to work now. If there are more than five pages for me to read when I get back, you're all DEAD!

[Haylen]

BAND WAGON GO GO GO!!!

[horrordude0215]

okay!

Unvote vote Haylen

[Pulindar]

Haylen's at L-2

Unvote

Strike that, Haylen is at L-3

I don't want some Sniper coming in and Steam Powering the Hammer down.

Vote Nikanor

because she's trying to buddy up with me by saying I'm town

Ah, screw it I don't think Nika is scum yet

Unvote

I'll

vote Slaxx

He wants to have a bandwagon go, I started one I can start another on him and we can have two competing ones rolling.

[Slaxx]

I'm honored Pulindar!

[Nikanor]

Vote Nikanor because she's trying to buddy up with me by saying I'm town

I'm not buddying! You're the one who said that sharing town reads is a good idea, remember?
If you'd like a reason for why I think you're town, it is because your answers to crypto's questions strike me as those from someone who is interested in being as open and honest as possible i.e. a townie.

NOW I'm off to work. Be back in ~9 hours.

[Nikanor]

Note to self: SPS confirmed twenty minutes ago but still hasn't posted.

[Nikanor]

Okay, NOW I'm gone. For real this time.

[Steam-Powered Shovel]
