Sorry, just noticed pizzaguy’s post now since I was busy playing Rainman with my post counts.
Holy crap, this game just entered the fathoms-deep side of the “WTF” pool. And it wasn’t exactly hanging out in the shallow section of this particular pool in the first place.
Normal, MHaye has made so few posts… not few enough to be called non-participatory, but still, not a lot to work with. Can you elaborate a tad on why you’re aiming your phasers (set to kill, not stun) on him? If it’s the same stuff you mentioned in your first argument, no need to repeat it, I’ll just double-back and re-check there.
As I’ve said, the mechanics of this game make it much more important to identify Townies than usual. I see it as pro-Town to share one’s opinions of others’ Townishness. Presumably Scum already know who Scum are! (I do understand that Scum might also wish to post a “Townie list”.)
My Town-tells are mostly just intuition of their tone and sincerity. I’ve played with Lightfoot when she’s been Town and Scum, and her tone seems Townish. Obviously I could be being fooled. My take that choie and charlie are posting as sincere Townies is similar (though I don’t think I’ve played when choie was scum).
There are a few other players I’m leaning Town on … though apparently I’m now being told it would be scummish to mention who they are. :smack:
Missed day one more or less, but yet I’m very much interested in what she does from now on.
Too soon to tell.
Also missed day one more or less (something about RL?), but posting is still markedly less than scathach, for instance. I’m getting a little concerned.
And one of those a weak late vote at that. Not happy.
Someone said something about RL. I’m not that concerned b/c the couple of posts he did have didn’t much look was he was trying to appear townie. At all.
No, but he has some kind of internet access thing going on that’s affecting his game on Idlemafia as well, apparently. I hate not hearing from him given how scary he is, but I don’t think it reflects on his alignment either way.
Skeezix not posting gives me hives, is about all I can say. Objectively it probably shouldn’t mean anything, subjectively I want him dead like last week. Get your butt in here and say something plz.
As things stand, of that list I would be happy to see pot shots taken at (or more organized vig attempts used on) Tanaer, lilflower or Skeezix. They really all need to show up to do more than just place a vote and leave, too; that’ll look like they’re just trying to avoid mod-kill.
Nothing new, I don’t think he’s even posted since my comments on his Astral vote. If you want to dig up the posts, great; otherwise I’ll go find them myself.
Oh yeah: interesting that Guiri didn’t get killed last night.
Also, I know that Normal (I think) had mentioned that Inner was viewed as a likely townie by most people, but I don’t think that’s the case. I, for one, was suspicious of him for his protection of Visor – Inner is not someone I was expecting to be killed last night, and I wonder if there’s any way to figure out why he was a target. I guess he could have been killed by a town Vig who thought similarly to me.
It could have been as simple as his already being down a bunch of hp. Though the more Pizza talks the more I think a lot of this game is going to be really weird.
Ah, thanks- I had moved on to my coloring the other votes didn’t check to see if the color came out right.

Vote Septimus. **
Thanks.
And Yes, Septimus- how is it beneficial for us (if you’re town) to know who you find less Scummy? Your voting record should show who you find most scummy, and everyone else should be LESS scummy.
Unless you’re actively trying to defend them, there’s no need to cuddle random other players- unless you’ve got a reason to want to get on their good side. Hence the paranoia.
Oh that reminds me I also wanted to hear an explanation of why gnarlycharlie looks townie. The rest there’ve been a post or posts I could see tipping someone that way, whether I agree or not, but not so much you or gnarly.
Because of everything I said last Night about Guiri generally being a top Night One nightkill candidate for scum. Scum killed him Night One in Mystery and in Arkham Nights (which is ongoing), and from what I understand those aren’t isolated occurrences.
I totally disagree with this, but it’s just a cultural debate. In my opinion, clearing people as being likely to be Town can be at least as important as trying to figure out who are likely to be Scum, particularly from a process of elimination standpoint (since it narrows the pool of people that are your scum candidates).
As I said earlier: most of us are inarguably Town. We should remember that and use it to shape our reads. Paranoia is fine, but it can be anti-Town to view EVERYONE indiscriminately as possible Scum.
I think gnarly looks fairly scummy so far. His posts have been almost entirely lacking in substance, he seems to be coasting along, and I haven’t seen anything from him that indicates that he’s trying to figure out how to solve the game.
Should you be a third party and worried about being a) killed by the town for not doing proper townie things or b) killed by the scum because at least, hey, it’s not their hides, consider coming to have a chat with me. I have a historic record of extreme [del]gullibility[/del] willingness to work with third parties, and promise not to hold a grudge against your victory condition as long as you’re straight with me and behave yourself.
