I could have edited, but I specifically mean Day 3 when Rec had but 1 post
**I was Doc protected? News to me. **
What are the rules there? shouldn’t I have gotten some indication?
IIRC, Scum was told that mhaye was modkilled for having only 3 posts across 2 game days.
I don’t want to say ‘never’, but rarely are those who are protected made aware of it. In my experience at least.
The only game I can think of was Super Smash Brothers 1. And that was a Scum protection.
I believe there were both scum and Town doctors in the Crimson Glyph who gave protection messages. There definitely was a scum one.
Also, I’m pretty sure the doc in Lost gave a similar message. Two of Meeko’s earlier games.
Red had a lot of posts which really weren’t significant. Day 3 had 1 post after Day 2 had only 1 significant post. And Night 2 and Night 3 had no posts
So, given what I thought I knew about protection, being in a masonry, and what a masonry is, even, to say nothing of the fact that my first board game over here was a personal victory…
I mean, either you guys need new standards, or I just happened to pick the wrong 7 or so games to play in.
God, I played an awful game.
I focused too much on Drain, who I should have known I always find suspicious. I let Meeko convince me that he was Scum. I dropped the ball on Story and Jimmy’s cases against Mahaloth until it was too late to convince anyone else.
I think the lower content and lower participation from the Scum puts blinders on the Town. Town players who post a lot do suspicous things.
Yeah, you probably should have lynched me for that or pressured me, wait Guiri did just that. Sach commented that he wanted to remove me for the game for my Day 5 participation.
Honestly though, lurking is a strategy, period. It’s why I ride on lurkers and low posters hard in games where I’m town. Im not on totally on board with mod killing players who are not 100% absent, but it’s sach’s game so it’s his rules I guess.
maybe the new standard should be Vig killing meeko and peeker early
I’m kidding! just kidding!
just hope I don’t get a vig role anytime soon.
Cookies investigating peek day 1 was one of the smartest moves I’ve seen from a cop in recent memory. It completely removes the IMO bullshit argument of “anti-town distraction”.
You just hope Peeker or I don’t get the vig role any time soon.
Well, ok, at least when I did it, I only had one bullet in my gun.
Sorry Peeks.
Yeah, and even though I thought he was scum (of the “clean noser” variety), I still thought it was best to poke him into action rather than risk another modkill.
Hard luck Town.
I can’t believe Mahaloth got away with his “but I voted Tom 3 days in a row” ploy. A perfect example of forcing Town cred for bussing.
I wish I’d been more convincing in my arguments against scum, I WoW-ed OreDigger and Red and found them both scummy. I expressed suspicions of Mahaloth on several occasions. I guessed MHaye was scum based on the worthless OreDigger bus. I was almost convinced of Tom’s scumminess but didn’t feel comfortable joining Red and Mahaloth until after his claim and even then thought they may have been bussing him. But then I was NKed…
Can we see the scum board?
It’s sachertorte.proboards.com
password is outhouse
And yet it still almost got completely buried in Godfather noise and a barking dog. I knew it was what I wanted to do as soon as I got my role, but I did have my doubts about whether that was the best choice of play.
Since I was just reminded of it by sach mentioning it on the spoilers board, I attempted to use my power on Storyteller the night he died. I didn’t think I had any actual power, but I wanted to be on the safe side in case there was some merit to Meeko’s “religious people are protectors” idea. I mean, it’s not like sach hasn’t thrown curveballs in games before, and I figured it couldn’t hurt.
So, who’s got next?
Oh, and rather than registering for the spoiler board now, I’ll reply to a couple of points from there:
First, bussing. Bussing in itself might not be worth much Townie cred (Mahaloth’s argument of “I’m Town, see, I attacked Tom!” was a load of bull), but refraining from bussing will, over the course of a few Days, put a huge neon sign over all of the Scum. Frankly, it’s tough to bus enough for it to not be noticeable (I know this from experience, since my own vote-analysis program would have outed me in Screamers, even though I know exactly how it works and was actively trying to foil it).
Second, on Townies hanging their votes on Cookies this past Day: That, too, was essential. At LyLo, the Town needs to be unanimous, or the Scum can flip the vote at the last minute, and if the unconfirmed Town don’t all follow the lone confirmed, they won’t be unanimous. That said, though, that doesn’t remove responsibility from all the other folks: What they should have been doing was making the best cases they could for whomever they were most suspicious of, and urging Cookies to follow their suggestions, and I didn’t see enough of that.
I urged Cookies to follow my suggestions and refused to relent until the last day :D.
