What exactly made you think I was panicked? Specifically, because Kyan believes I drip fed information (why, I don't know) so I know he's looking for something, but other votes just have a general hanging on.

You didn't write down your argument in cohesive way, instead like Kyan said, you drip fed information piece by piece (as in, you kept filling/changing the story from post to post, little by little). If you had just laid it all out at once like a calm townie would have done, things would look more favorable for you.
 
I'm probably not going to read the last 8 pages so what's up with everyone.

Are you gonna read them or you don't really care that much coz you are scum again?

as much as i love a damn good THUNDERDOME showdown I have nothing on either melon or splinter at the moment and am about to go to bed for an early work day tomorrow. yell if you want but i'm abstaining from voting for this, i can't make a call on either player having only read like 50 posts.

g'night

So if you had nothing against them why not vote No Lynch? It doesn't bother you that we lose townies?

A no Lynch? I can feel sorian's disappointment from here. :(

I'm in a meeting at work all day so I'll be here around 2 hours before day end. Not feeling anyone at the moment outside of some folks I maybe wouldn't get rid of yet.

Can I ask those of you who voted no Lynch and did not provide a reason as to why you trust both melon and splinter enough to let them live? Thanks

You seem to be projecting your disappointment on Sorian, why are you disappointed Saw, pray tell? You were there during the event and you didn't even participate, yet you are disappointed?

Also hi scum!saw what's up?

What? It was an explanation, not an argument. I added more because Kyan specifically asked for more, and then said it sounds like I drip fed information. I mean, yeah, obviously if you keep asking me for more to my state of mind, you're going to get more.

I'm going to ask you and @Kyanrute too, was there anything different from my initial explanation that changed after I was asked for more?
 

Alexem

Yeah, I'm town
I've been mulling over my options on the way home, and I think I'm going to have to go on my gut feeling on this one.
VOTE: Rynam
It could well be time zones, but popping up, taking part in an event and vanishing again doesn't sit well with me. If it hadn't been for that, I doubt he'd have stood out to me at all - it just seems enough to make it looks like he's doing something to cover coasting.

I could well be wrong on this, but I seldom get more than a mass of null reads on D1, so I just have to go with what I can.
 
I'm curious about where those percentages come from, is it based on some math or statistics? What is my percentage if stu was 75 and you are voting for me?

It's my own way of rating scum, my own scale, you are a solid 90% for reasons I mentioned and to which you seem not to care about them at all. So why not respond to my arguments? Why light jab me for my scale instead?

Sorry monkey, I haven't had time to read all the new pages yet. Can I ask you to quote the relevant posts?
^^my man

But I am not on board with this Stu stuff. After PR, I'm not lynching Stu day one. I see everything you, faircure, and Griz are saying and you're not wrong. But I think it's NAI in Stuart, who is coming off a rough game and is still trying to find his (maybe town?) feet. I think if he's scum it'll show but he's just gonna look worse and worse here if pushed and I fear that's a way too easy mislynch.

@Grizzly
I figure you're probably zzzz but for later - you voted Stu after I posted about how I was looking at him, but you didn't respond to me. Why not? I'd like to discuss him with you.

Little things:

Yep. I don't think I've played with NtC before but Rynam's done this before but not to this extent. No minimum count is probably going to foster this, though; no reason for people to be here. It's gonna create unknowns. But speaking of-


Sometimes. Sometimes you disappear for long stretches, too. In my experience, that happens when you're town. Just food for thought.

Why should I wait to follow up on someone I think was pushing obvious mislynch bait? Because he’s roleblocked? Meh.

I'm just going to say.

Rynam is a fucking shit lynch and you should all be ashamed of yourselves. We have ITAs to pick off lazy players. Don't waste lynches and don't waste vote logic. It is too easy to hide in a Rynam lynch.

There are plenty of mafia out there and some of them are playing. Let's lynch one of them.

I am unsure how to answer that question as I gather that our viewpoints differ on the "initial explanation". It was and is my view that the initial explanation was completed at #709 and everything after was the so called more. I guess we can start with: do you agree with this?

Agreed, if he did it again I would be inclined to lynch him, but as it is now he may just replace out like in HvV. If not we ITA him.

I see you have been negging, sorry, not gonna work on me, do you know why? Scum!Sorian used it on me through the entire Buffy game, so I am immune to being dismissed and made fun of. Nice try but it's not gonna work.

While you may be somewhat right, I voted for him not just because of being a lazy player or whatever but because of what he posted when he showed up. Just looking at the thread for the first time but somehow came in just in time for the event and then disappearing shortly after. Seems scumish enough to be worth a vote.

It's why I'm not going after the other players who haven't posted much at all. I'd rather use ITAs to deal with them but the content of Rynam's posts when he showed up and showing up at such an 'opportune' time made me feel like it's worth voting for him.

Making fun of you? I would never make fun of another player. Let me tell you somethin, these are extremely high percentages you are using. Especially on D1 where there's not much to go off of. Even if someone looks extremely scummy on D1, it's still not a 90%. I saw you did this in HvV as well, you were wrong in some cases. Take this as advice.

All I remember about Natiko was something about going bit too far with the whole "why would scum do this". That reminded me of some sharp things in a haystack.

did he do something similar in HvV? Not looked at the game thread for that so wouldn't know. I'm just going off what I've seen in here.
 
Didn't mean to nap so long, oops. Don't really like the current vote leaders. Here's thoughts.
Rynam - I just think it's too easy? Like yeah, he only popped up once and he's probably lurking but his lurking is so obvious. It's bad play but I'm not sure if it's scum play. Feel like scum chat would be telling him to get back in there and engage and he'd see it if he was lurking hard.
Verelios - I believe he was confused in the event. I remember liking how he was engaging/playing the first part of the day before the event. Melon said he was snarkier than usual but I'm not getting that feeling. Lux's vote bothers me.
Genov- I feel like he's always a d1 lynch candidate? Don't see anything outside the ordinary in his voting/behavior for now.

I could go for Apollo or a Grizzly lynch. Am interested in hearing Grizzly's response about Stuart.

You're probably right. The trouble is, I can't really make out that much amongst the noise of so many players. Rynam may be a shit lynch, but it's a vote that I can tie a small shred of logic to. It's not much, but it's the best I've got for today.

No minimum in this game so no one's replacing out unless they request it.

I'll just say this was the sticking point in my mind even now. But the way he showed up so opportunistically and then went back to lurtking still annoyed me.

heh, maybe I am tunneling a bit too hard like I said I shouldn't do earlier :/ there is still time for me to consider it before the EoD.

Some cold lunch break skim reads from Sneeks:

Not a big fan of the current Lynch choices which I believe are Vere and Ry? If I had to pick either I'd go....Ry. Vere isn't feeling scummy.
Still dislike how people are so hesitant to kill but I can't do anything in depth read on that
I really like Natiko atm and this sort of worries me?
Part of me feels all current active posters are Town and Scum are the quiet bunch. Not much is jumping out.

In HvV he swapped out because he felt like he would drag the team down if he stayed. It's more about actually helping rather than trying to hit the minimum I feel like.
 
@heymonkey It's interesting that you seem to take a dislike to my logic. I feel like I've said everything there was.

You made the leap and said I had to wait for Splinter/his reaction, before making a choice, but that wasn't necessary in this circumstances. I myself have very specific memory of holding such a power in another game. Someone initiated this dome, melon looked prepared and ready, that's it.
Splinter's appearance didn't change anything, he took the easy way out by not being confronting which lead to a majority. I currently don't know what to make of that, but we'll have plenty of time to decipher the proceedings in days 15 to 39, with more flips.

Thanks @heymonkey

To discuss Stuart - I didn't follow PR so I can't really comment on him based on that game. I'm basing my view on Stuart on him trying to please people - I feel like someone is actively helping him outside this thread. First he backed down from his No Lynch stance in a lazy manner, and now he is suddenly become lot more "assertive", in a complete 180 from his earlier meekness. Getting a good sleep might be a part of it, but it also feels like to me he is getting an outside help, something a scum team could help with. We were both scum in Monopoly, and I remember a similar scenario where we mentored him. His somewhat changing behaviour feels like that same here - him adjusting to advice given to him somewhere outside this game thread. So no, I don't think he is mislynch bait - there could be something here.

That said, I'm more curious to see Verelios' flip over Stuarts for now. I'm also not feeling Geno lynch either - his playstyle can be frustrating, but he has been consistent to his past town games so far.

Nope. Didn't say you had to. I'm saying you were treating melon's reaction like it was a hard indictor but how could it be when we didn't have Splinter's? And if Splinter took the easy way out, why was melon your vote and not Splinter?

Generally, I would caution comparing powers in this game to powers in other games until we know more about powers here but that's a banner I often carry and no one listens to me so I'm not gonna keep making that case.
 
Time to catch up and make some reads before day end. Sorry to be revealingly useless this day y'all, don't have same schedule next week so I can be helpful...

If I can make it, y'know...

I remember that @Natiko asked me why I chose Geno in the event, but I never got to answering that before going to bed. I chose him because he was one of the runner ups for the ones to receive most votes in first phase, and I wanted to choose one of those players. I assumed that there won't be that harsh of a penalty for first event, so I didn't really think much of it.

If he's developing based on advice, though, then he will continue to develop and I don't see any reason at all to lynch him today. I also find it... let's say interesting... that your defense for yourself is that it's your meta but you're only interested in looking at one meta for Stuart. That, too, will develop, I expect.

Meta is a fickle beast. That said, I wouldn't say the argument against me and against Stuart is completely the same. I'll admit I haven't read all of the most recent pages yet, but the argument against me seems to be mostly "He plays the same as in Monopoly", while my argument against Stuart is "He seems to want to please everyone, and it feels like he is being mentored behind the scenes".

Different, strictly no. Vague, yes. The drip feeding comes from that. The initial post did not explain your train of thought up to the same detail as the later posts did (those after #709).

while my argument against Stuart is "He seems to want to please everyone, and it feels like he is being mentored behind the scenes".

In fairness, you're basing your assumption of me off a previous game as well and in my first game. I'm still newbish but more experienced. I have no one to help me similar to PR so I'm just doing my best by myself.

The argument against you and me may not be 100% the same but they are similar in that they are both being based off a past game. People don't really have much meta to use against me at the moment though so I can't blame you entirely for feeling like that if you think that's how I come across since you only (as you admit) have one game to base me off of.

Oh, really? What parts of it were conjured and why?
 
Mhm, let's get some votes down. Let me recap:

Verelios was overly anxious with some explanation around the event and was seen as panicking

Rynam conveniently looked into the thread just when the event happened and faded out afterwards.

Geno's general attitude once again makes him rile up votes, it seems?

Out of those I'd pick Rynam, but he's not leaving a huge trail behind him, so low info lynch isn't the best.

Shall we shake things a bit?

@Hecht Natiko train is out, no one wants to vote because why not, how about we try one of my ideas now? Vote out Kawl?
@Splinter you in?

Vote: Kawl

I'm aware of Stuart. He is around and active, but it's mostly questions. It's okay for now, but it's not a strong town read for me. But I don't feel like you do. I don't think he really wants to please everyone, and the "it feels like he is being mentored" is nonsense to me.

Seems like the only person I scumread with any shot at getting lynched today. It hasn't gone unnoticed that he faded away yet again. I'll move my vote to prevent ties if I need to obviously.

Which logically makes sense if you're trying to win. Was more wondering if you had put thought into the penalty but it sounds like that is a no.

I see a big list of people that need to be the target of ITAs tomorrow if they don't step it up.

Natiko said people should choose Geno in the Event.
I said if Vere (or the original bottom three, I forget at which point I suggested it) wanted to actually match they should name Geno or Xbro as they were the ones most likely to be listed again. That's just odds.

How do you feel that somebody is mentored btw. What points you to that?

Him making changes to his behavior that don't feel natural. His stance to no lynch being first, then him suddenly becoming more assertive after being called out from being meek.
 
I'm not feeling like Stuart is being mentored. Maybe if he was making big, thought out posts I'd think he was getting fed points but he's just been generally active and asking questions. I feel like that's harder to fake, esp if he was nervous scum. He also got kinda pinholed at the start with the no lynch discussion and didn't have much time to talk freely, so I think that could contribute as well?
 

Kyanrute

This is a really good catch. What I’m struggling to piece together is what the plan would be here if he’s scum. I would guess Blade was scum with him based on his vote, but why then would Blade not self vote? Whatever it was something clearly did not pan out as hoped.

Sure, but if he’s scum then the question is what was he hoping to accomplish with the vote? Did he have a teammate in the above group? And if so, which one screwed the vote?

If they’re a team why doesn’t Vere just self vote to ensure scum get an item while not calling attention to his scummate?

But voting his teammate isn’t worse and just as obvious? I feel like self voting would’ve been much easier to explain as well. Pretty easy to just play the “I know my alignment” card.

Some Natiko WIFOM what to me at the time (and still) felt ehh. Had that "look at me I am talking!" -vibe to it. My issue is that how could one even expect to come up with THE answer out of all the possibilities. I can think of one ok explanation for these posts at least, maybe Natiko will pick it too.

The difference is in a normal lynch I get to pick between people I scum read. I re-read both Melon and Splinter and still came away leaning town on both just as before. Given they’re some of my few town reads and that we’ll be lucky if I wake back up before this whole shebang ends I’m going to

VOTE: No Lynch

At least this way I’m leaving a record of my thoughts instead of just doing nothing. If I wake up early I’ll try and sprint read through any new messages in case actual discussion around this event happens that changes my mind. Otherwise I feel comfortable leaving it at this since I doubt Sorian rigged the game which means this is probably an RNG thunderdome between two townies. Night folks.

Covering all bases rawr look at townie me being all town.

He also got kinda pinholed at the start with the no lynch discussion and didn't have much time to talk freely, so I think that could contribute as well?

That's fair assesment. It's just how I feel on him at the moment.
 
Him making changes to his behavior that don't feel natural. His stance to no lynch being first, then him suddenly becoming more assertive after being called out from being meek.

I don't think you need to be mentored from the outside to act like that. Even more, I hope that is not the case.

Well this is Day 1, so one has to look at things with even tighter comb than usual. This is a 50 player game, so I'm not even trying to get solid reads from everyone at the moment.

Oh, really? What parts of it were conjured and why?

I guess I could've tossed a "could've been" there. Feel free to accuse me of vagueness now. I am referring to my confusion regarding your reasoning for the Blade vote pick i.e. you mentioned that Blade's high amount of votes influenced yor pick. I interpreted this to mean that you thought that high votes meant you had a higher chance of being right whereas you later explained it with seeing a big block of votes and just going with it.

Mhm, let's get some votes down. Let me recap:

Verelios was overly anxious with some explanation around the event and was seen as panicking

Rynam conveniently looked into the thread just when the event happened and faded out afterwards.

Geno's general attitude once again makes him rile up votes, it seems?

Out of those I'd pick Rynam, but he's not leaving a huge trail behind him, so low info lynch isn't the best.

Shall we shake things a bit?

@Hecht Natiko train is out, no one wants to vote because why not, how about we try one of my ideas now? Vote out Kawl?
@Splinter you in?

Vote: Kawl
Hell yeah!

VOTE: Kawl

(I realise this probably looks opportunistic but I just spent the last half hour catching up. Was considering a Geno vote but this is better.)

Those two things aren't mutually exclusive or vague though. If I was being vague then I would've just said I voted Blade and that's it.

To add to the Natiko WIFOM, there was that lil bit about playing the game designer with the what was it, ah, N-hour time delay D1 only (or DIE) pick two thunderdome with no lynch enabled!. That was dumdum from all involved, yours truly included.

Some odd comments are all I see here.

that should be enough ofc

Also we're currently at 19/50 votes which is under half the participants with just under 3 hours until days end.

That's no good.

People should put down their votes now, and not at all/at the last minute. There's lot of empty space there for non-committal scum to hide in.

Some Natiko WIFOM what to me at the time (and still) felt ehh. Had that "look at me I am talking!" -vibe to it. My issue is that how could one even expect to come up with THE answer out of all the possibilities. I can think of one ok explanation for these posts at least, maybe Natiko will pick it too.



Covering all bases rawr look at townie me being all town.
The series of questions was me trying to work through the scenarios out loud - the theories that were being thrown around didn't add up for me (e.g. Vere and Blade being scummates). On a surface level (Vere gave Blade the item!) it works, but once you think about the logic behind it it fell apart. I feel like it's practically guaranteed that scum joined the game, but I have yet to be able to glean what occurred due to not having enough info. I mention that in a different post that you didn't quote.

As to the other point, I'm not going to apologize for laying out my thoughts. If that's scummy now then fuck me I guess.

Of the top three vote leaders so far my feeling on Verelios hasn't really changed any since this post:

Now that insanity is over, let me discuss how I feel about Verelios and the mistake:

I thought it was a mistake at the time it happened and I still do. After all, getting confused/panicked especially with a first-time event in this game could have happened to anyone or at least, so I believe.

I can understand why some may think it was scum play but then why would Scum!Verelios willingly take the risk of taking a penalty especially not knowing what the penalty was? I don't know.. it just doesn't seem like a scum move to me though I could be proven wrong in the future.

As for why I'm not voting Geno, it's mostly just a meta thing since last time I thought he was scum, I was 100% wrong so there's that.

So that leaves Rynam, who I know is potentially a bad vote but it honestly feels more stay away scum tactics rather than lazy town tactics.

Vote: Rynam

Ok now I'm caught up.

Verelios vote I'm not feeling. It seems to come entirely from the event shenanigans and his argument with Kyan after. The reasoning isn't bad, but my gut doesn't agree with it and as already mentioned I'm more worried about Kyan.

Rynam is pure activity right? Meh

Geno is a good choice, I like the argument that he values his own life above the rest of town (forgot who made it). Also his entry to the game I didn't like - a very pointless general comment and jumping on the Donna thing.

Stuart is ok. Bit of a null read. Shaky start and has improved since. I can understand Grizzly's comment on him but not sure I agree with it... Not enough to vote him anyway.

Kawl is the thunderdoming scum though, so let's lynch him.

Those two things aren't mutually exclusive or vague though. If I was being vague then I would've just said I voted Blade and that's it.

I feel that the word vague can be used if you say something but the thing you said is interpreted not in the way you meant by the listener.
