Mini 615: The Eclipse- Game!

[Bogre]

Awesome Pants: Why do you think Armlx is leading the town?

My perspective on it: He's just trying to throw out an analysis of the setup, which isn't a bad thing.

VOTE: Windkirby

Why would you be that angry of being accused on day one? Am I just misreading sarcasm there?

[Norinel]

Mod, can we get prods on xyzzy and Bogre (the latter has been replaced elsewhere BTW)

Or we can just run the scum chat plan and quick lynch xyzzy in 8 seconds.

I'll prod xyzzy; Bogre just posted.

I don't. Well, he is, but only to a small degree which comes from the content of the posts and was pretty much unavoidable.

The question was there, to effectively 'lead' darox into analysing armlx's motives. I think with those sorts of questions, someone protown will be more likely to critically think about the question and answer accordingly, whereas scum might try and 'jump' onto an easy bandwagon that's set out for them. Of course, having said that, scum also like to defend town members so that if they are lynched they look protown.

[Darox]

That looks to be a pretty useless post.

"Scum do stuff. Sometimes it looks protown, sometimes it looks proscum."

[Awesome Pants]

Yeah, I suppose it is a bit wishy washy in the way I've worded it, but it's not always

just

what they do, but rather the way in which they do it. For example, I liked the way you justified your answer to that question but your most recent post comes off as a bit 'OMGUS' which I do find a bit funny.

[Awesome Pants]

Err, EDWOP: scummy*.

To me,

your

most recent posts appear more OMGUS than Darox's. He's the one voting you. I don't see you directing anything at Darox besides your first question on what he thinks of armlx leading.

I think most of the questions you asked at the start didn't really help much. You seem to be really keen on how scum or town would react to your "strategical" questions. I don't see how you can deduce anything substantial from them though. What have you gathered on the four people you asked questions to?

How is his post even remotely close to the definition of OMGUS.

Yes, typing that twice was intentional.

It doesn't fit the definition exactly as stated in the wiki, but Pants is saying he finds Darox's recent posts scummy and all Darox has done was vote Pants. It's close enough to OMGUS from how I see it.

He has a point though. He initiated the discussion as well.

Hi, was without access when this began.

I'm willing to lynch based on something fairly baseless rather than random lynching, simply because random lynching in AITP is a fairly solid strategy.

Vote: windkirby

Coincedentally, mod, Bogre is also voting windkirby.

[armlx]

Unvote, Vote Xyzzy

The only reason to lynch randomly in this game is to promote a cult win.

[Darox]

One of the reasons you quickly and randomly lynch people in AITP is because you don't want to give away the king and throw the game to scum.

This is not an issue for the town in this game.
We can't lose the hunter, because if the current one dies a new one is made.
The game becomes like AITP except with scum/town reversed, but it does not start like it.

Only two people currently know who the cult recruiter is, and 6 people are (currently) trying to kill the cult recruiter or failing that, kill his cultists.

This looks to be stronger than Pants not random voting. Good enough to warrant a vote today.

What the heck?

unvote - vote: Xyzzy

We don't have to do either - we can base a lynch on something that appears scummy, like what you just said.

Corrected in the prior count.

Remember, no claims this game. Claiming can only hurt the town.

Not angry, just observing the irony of a serious vote before the votee hasn't said anything yet.

I'm sorry I haven't posted very much - to be honest I forgot about this game for a few days! However, I plan on catching up (even though there are only three pages) tonight. As for now,

unvote

. I think lynching so early is definetely a bad idea.

[windkirby]

In fact, taking it a step further. I think putting someone at L-1 on page three is ridiculous.

On day two or beyond, I agree. But today, we have the benefit that the recruitees do't know that they're going to be scum yet - a good strategy might be to have each player decide on an order of scumminess today - since the scum has one recruit, there'll be almost nothing to go on today, but tomorrow and beyond we can use the information about who no longer supports what to our advantage much more than in regular games.

[icemanE]

Hmm... an OMGUS reaction.

Your response doesn't do much to convince me I should move my vote...

Suggesting we should throw away the D1 lynch and let the cult grow bigger makes me happy with my vote.

Lol, so much wrong here. Just give the cult leader full info, make lynches set up ahead of time, etc.

[Darox]

You know whats not cool? Not posting. People should stop doing that.

You know what is cool? Lynching people that come up with terrible strats that help the scumgroup. We should definitely do that.
