8/9 confirmed.
With Day 1 and 9 alive, it takes 5 to lynch.

@Sakura: You're just saying this because you're scum yourself, aren't you? :c
No, scum get chat during pre-game, so they want to delay the start of the game as much as possible so they can talk and hence usually confirm last, which is why most mods usually start at 7/9 confirmed to prevent this.Irreversible wrote:

I thought there's a column in profile called 'last active'.
Very easy to determine if the person really wanted to delay.

it's highly reliable on the timezone, though. I confirmed at 4 AM didn't even do it correctly due to no-sleep derp, while getting a role PM two hours beforehand, and I was like... fifth, or even sixth. I guess trying to hunt scum by looking whoever confirmed last isn't a good idea, it won't confirm anything o.o
It's still something to go off instead of RVS, also there was a point in time where the only people that hadn't confirmed were kookookook and Irreversible.

Interesting generalization there. How do you know that this game has pre-game chat?Sakura wrote:

If it's the same setup as the one in the wiki link that appeared, and is a newbie game, then it's very likely scum does not have daychat.Jinxy wrote:

Wrong. Scum don't want a 1v1 they most likely won't win.SenaSaki wrote:

I've yet to see a single mafia game where mafia don't get pre-game chat. It's a very safe assumption.

What do you guys think the set-up is? I think it'll not be 1 or B as these set-ups are too boring.

Trying to persuade someone to vote other which has a vote already in D1 is a mafia behaviour.

@kookookook: why do you want to know about the setup?
It's the reaction test that I'd like to see how Sakura reacted.
His reaction was obviously scum.

So saying you're scum for IIoA was townie but asking CalignoBot for voting you for the same reason is scummy?
Asking CalignoBot to vote. ppl will vote in their posts if they think it's necessary. Rushing is never a good way, especially in the start of a day.
No reply huh? Well not like I was expecting you to reply so quick but I was expecting something before going to sleep.
At least now there's enough information to go around and start scumhunting, and I'm gonna be mad if I see people doing more RVS stuff (I'm looking at you Saki... just kidding)

Oh nvm, you actually replied while i was typing.
I disagree. Rushing is a good way to start getting reads from people out of reactions and forming stances based on the current wagons, which gives scum less places to hide.kookookook wrote:

Btw, reaction tests are only reaction tests when they catch people by surprise, all your "Reaction test" did was make you look more scummy, if you're somehow town i suggest you change your way of approaching things because you arent doing very well.
In either case, gotta head to bed, work tomorrow, hope to see more activity in this thread.
So this was a "reaction test" directed to Sakura? really?
Maybe I should Vote: kookookook.

well you guys caught me fairly quickly
@Royston: That's what i meant by Inside Information in one of the things i had against kookookook
yup, they can narrow up to two possibilities: either {B, C, 1, 3} if they've got two Goons or {A, 2} if they've got a roleblocker, which I hope isn't the case this time. we have no idea what's the scenario, though, so I guess it would be safer to consider that they've got a roleblocker, just in case it's actually true.Royston wrote:

If so then explain to me how wagons dont give information and how puttinv votes everywhere without reason helps finding scum.

...Yes, and I'm asking how that's inside info. It's major IIoA and minor rolefishing, but I don't see how thinking it's not certain setups is knowing something we don't.
He's already ruling out 2 possible setups for apparently no reason.
Wait a second, how the heck, is that statement major IIoA (the IIoA part i was talking about was the 7 in 9 chance of someone being town, which is weird to point out specially after I mentioned how useless that statement was). It's unknown information so it cant be IIoA.
Oh. Well, I thought that was what you meant by IIoA, from the wiki statement: "players who speculate about the setup more than they ask for other players' reasoning and/or accuse other players of being scum are probably group scum". I don't usually use all these terms myself.
It pretty much depends on context and wording, setup speculation at that point is no information, NOR analysis (There's nothing to analyze about the setup yet as there aren't no flips or claims)
Ok, I see. Back to the other thing:
That's all that caught my attention for now, going to bed soon. Would be nice if Cali talked a bit about why he just dropped Sena despite being "against using outside experience for meta arguments". Night.
I can see where you're coming from, but to me it reads more as a really dumb reason (can't be x because x is boring) than no reason. Besides, if he did know inside information which allows him to rule out setups, I really don't think he would just freely talk about it, even as a random post.Sakura wrote:

If you know me, you'd know I analyze anything (even RVS reasons), due to the fact that in the very first pages of the game scum still hasn't settled into it, and all the information people have for starting to find information is their Role PM, maybe such things wont become apparent now, but as the game goes on you'll realize that most probably he has a reason for saying those things.
Also i do totally see your point on CalignoBot it's pinging me in the wrong direction as well since you mentioned it, so I'd like to hear his answer to that as well.

kook's saying that these setups are boring could be a slight way to claim a role, you know. he could've wanted to narrow up the possible setups, in order for us to give hints about his role, so I wouldn't be that sure about suspecting him right away.
but yeah, I kinda question myself what would be the reason for that...

In that case it makes it even MORE suspicious, no PR would give him/herself away this soon without heavy fire at them, consider that he started getting voted by other people after that statement, not before.
sounds interesting if that's how you think of it. I'd like to hear something from him first, though. kook, why did you think these two setups aren't likely to happen? are you really a PR, or just trying to cover up something you don't know?

What I mean is using someone else's experience outside of your own. It's all well in good to understand how people think from playing with them several times, but it's a lot less convincing when someone with little to no experience playing with that person to go back to games they didn't play in to try to figure out how that person thinks second-hand.
Basically, going through and meta-diving is pretty useless in my eyes and I'm willing to accept the premise is true for now.
People need to post more often.
CalignoBot: You asked me if Saki is always like this, I said yes, I never said he was town, in fact I said he can pull this as either alignment (keyword being: "always") is that strong enough for you to unvote him?

I was more asking whether trying to put pressure on him is going to be useful at all. The fact that you stated he was and were willing to prove it so easily is enough to convince me at this stage.
