for the children!
fartownik
Wow, Irreversible is finally scum.
Irreversible
Said the one who wants to massclaim all the time, and flips scum.
fartownik
What XD
fartownik
So why is massclaim scum-indicator in your opinion?
Sephibro
you propose an anti-town strategy (i've explained enough why it is anti town, i'm sorry that you're not able to understand it - i can explain again making best case scenario and worst case scenario if you need it) which would only go in scum's favor
fartownik
You obviously can't see the pro of scumhunting out of 8 people instead of 12.

Also my question was directed to Irreversible.
fartownik
And Irreversible goes inactive once I ask him a question.
Irreversible
What the fuck, I don't have to stay here 24/7, what's wrong with your gameplay? seriously
Tanzklaue
even if we should massclaim (which we shouldn't) I say the back up shouldn't claim PR.

with the back up not claiming, we would have an ace hidden in our sleeve, so mafia can't just pew one PR after another, especially if town hasn't a doc.

Because I asked you a question 1 minute after your reply? ;o
fartownik
Vote: Tanzklaue
Tanzklaue
what should i make out of this vote, considering that we vote the lyncher, not the lynchee?
fartownik
That you are Town.
Tanzklaue
oh, that's cool.

in that case, aside from me being neither passive nor actively aggressive, why am I town?
and why is the argument of the others against massclaims scummy, but mine isn't?
fartownik
Because you're actively trying to improve the possible massclaim tactic in case it ACTUALLY happens.

Answers both of your questions.
fartownik
Also you won't do anything stupid with the lynch powers.
Sephibro

oh i see that you're well informed
fartownik
The point of your comment is... ?
pieguyn
here's the problem with massclaim

sure, scum only has a 2/5 chance of claiming an unused PR. that's great. but that requires claiming the exact roles, which we've already agreed screws everything up > < if we're just claiming PR or not, then it makes it way easier to put up a fakeclaim, since scum just kills off all the PRs and then they get a better idea of which ones are free

also, why can't MC happen later? if we can keep all our PRs till the day before LYLO, then it'll be way more useful bc we'll have a bunch of conftowns to do POE. and if not then it's just the same result as MC'ing now and having scum kill all the PRs off. I'm all for massclaim, but it's way better to do it later as opposed to now 0.0

Ahhhh... math...

Nyquill
imo mc can wait till later, we haven't even had a night yet, mc is just giving scum all the information they need to win the game.
Jinxy
I don't agree with the massclaim as of now.

While I don't have any math to back me up, I do know from experience that scum very nearly won Stacking the Deck with the D1 massclaim, had they not made a mistake late game.

You should know this the best, fart, since that scum was you.
Amianki
This point has pretty much run its course.

Now let's continue with voting for CTs, thanks.
fartownik
Okay, fine for now. The massclaim doesn't have to go D1, obviously. I still think it will be a really good thing to do in next days, but I only brought it up today to get early reactions out of everyone and cut off the RVS.

By the way, we have to choose the Leader. Please post your best candidates for that position and why you think he should be one, I already voted for Tanz. When we're done voting, we will start an unofficial vote for the lynchee. The priority for now.

Caligno, so you want CTs as the Leader? Are you sure?
Amianki
CTs, so far, is my only town read.
fartownik
Oh, that's interesting, because he was one of my scumreads. Mind explaining?
Amianki
Because his vote wasn't useless as most of the really early ones were.

Seriously, voting for yourself is like the single most useless thing you can do at the start of the day in this situation.

I don't see anything useful in this RANDOM VOTE.

I don't see how it indicates alignment anyhow, you're making something up.

And I don't like how pieguy has read CTs as Town with a similar, weird manner as you, though you probably wouldn't make such mistake if you were partners.
fartownik
OR WOULD YOU

Congratulations, you've figured out a lot of my very early game town strategy.

But in all seriousness, I already answered that point. In a game where you vote for who you think is town, RVS suddenly becomes a hell of a lot less useful since votes are the most anti-pressure thing you can do. Voting for someone else, even at random, is a hell of a lot more useful than that.

So why exactly are pieguy and kevincela not in the same vote? Because they bandwagoned.
Amianki
*boat
Jinxy
Is the choice of leader really that important? Obviously the most pro-town should be chosen, but if the lynch was PVoted on, then anyone could just lynch according to what the majority wants. There is no incentive to lynch otherwise, a scum leader would just out himself and the majority's lynch for the next few days. Of course, this banks on the fact that the lynch methods are also democratic.
Jinxy
lynch methods in the next few days are also democratic*
fartownik
I agree with that, but it's still important to pick someone who doesn't end up treating the power as Day Vigilante (BRBP D:). We must be sure of that.

Also the person should be active enough and be up to make votecounts out of PVotes.

I don't think leader voting is enough of a deal to consider what CTs did as Town. Your read doesn't speak to me at all.
Amianki
If you have any ideas for concrete reads based on what we have so far, I'm all ears.

Okay.

All the RVS are null. I will consider everything that happened after my idea of massclaim.

I've found your and Sephibro's responses the most scummy of all, and I already mentioned that. Both early scumreads.

Irreversible got mad after calling him scum.

Irreversible wrote:

"and flips scum."

I still don't get this part.

Also 1 minute after that, I asked him a question. He didn't reply to it for about an hour so I called him out for leaving the discussion in the middle. He came even more mad and STILL DIDN'T REPLY. Irre is also scum.

rEdo is null-Town and Tanz is Town.

this doesn't make sense, if you see someone pro-town that means you already have a town read, and does that mean you would rather lynch someone scummy?

I find this response incredibly interesting, as it completely assumes that I'll only ever have one town read in the entire game.

One person is confirmed town. By your logic, he should instantly be given the rights to make the vote in this situation. However, let's say he also has my three biggest townreads outside of him as his scumpool. Do you really think I would want him to have the sole lynch power?

Believe it or not, your play can be incredibly town while still having abysmal reads.
Nyquill

Caligno, so you want CTs as the Leader? Are you sure?
NO!

Well, I just post only 1 post after the game start, how did that possible for me to look scum/town?
And, why did you want a newbie like me to be a leader? Anything behind the curtain?
Amianki
Accept your fate. It is your destiny.
Jinxy

Nyquill wrote:

For example, X is a conftown. However, he thinks Y and Z are scum and basically tunnels on them, despite the rest of the players not agreeing with him. If he gets voted to be leader, he might lynch Y or Z over what the majority wants. And the majority doesn't want that to happen. You know, a little like p/2464657 .

Though I feel that this is derailing a little because no one's conftown on D1, anyway.
Amianki
Jinxy, you realize that was an example, right?

I feel like theres nothing for me to add since I'm like 10 hours late (and not really feeling into the game as of now)

pieguy, why vote Nyquill and FoS him? Wouldn't that mean you are going to vote the leader you think is scum?
I like rEdo observation here in the massclaim tactic.
Felt like a reaction test to me but I'll play along. Why would you care since the votes were RVS? And I'm sure you know its RVS.
Then Sephibro and farto. Nothing new.
Irreversible says for the children twice now. Not sure what is so significant of this post nor how it helps anyone.
Irre, do you have something else to say besides children?
Seems pretty weak to accuse someone as scum. Or if not, it really seems like that was the intention.
Good suggestion.
farto, do you think pieguy is town after this post?
Rather pings me for some odd reason.Can't tell why but it doesn't seem like a genuine reaction on what Calingo said.
Seems towny reaction from CTs. Scum would probably be happy about it instead of just asking why would we vote him.

And what does p mean in pvote? proposed vote?

okay i'll try to explain why farto's massclaim strategy CAN'T help town in a way that everyone can understand:

scum will NEVER all claim VT. one of them (probably the goon) will claim PR, the other 2 will claim VT
PRs will have to fully claim their roles, and scum has a 50% (actually more than 50%, but let's round it) chance of going away with a lucky claim
>in this case we're going to trade information about all our PRs for:
50% chance of getting the only information that 1 scum is among the 5 PR claims and the other 2 scum are among the 7 VT claims (worst case scenario)
50% chance of getting a crossclaim, so a 1v1 (best case scenario)

so now please stop even taking it into account or saying "mmm no i don't want mc because i heard mc d1 is bad"


it's a pro-scum strategy, and this farto fighting so much for it smells very scummy
Sephibro
now, we don't have to talk about who should we elect lyncher and why, because the lyncher won't do anything without our consensus.

we have to decide who we want to lynch, then we can elect anyone who's not the lynchee

tbh it doesn't really seem a good motivation. Just because he didn't reply to your question there doesen't necessarily mean he's a scum, I don't think that this kind of attitude is so suspicious right now :\
Tanzklaue
I don't really get this whole CTs voting here, just because he didn't do anything particulary scummy doesn't make him town in my eyes.

I also have the distinct feeling that one of farto or sephibro are scum (or is it normal for the 2 to behave like this? i wasn't here for such a long time)

jinxy looks the most town to me, as he doesn't do silly votes based of a random vote.

I don't have any reads on the rest of you, though all the peeps that voted for themselves are a little more scummy than the ones that didn't.

there is the chance of the lyncher doing what he wants. especially with you and farto hating each others guts.

the vote for the lyncher is basically my confirmation that jinxy is my best townread, and atm, except for you and farto, i have nobody who pings me as scum.

as CB said, what if the lyncher is obv town, but still didn't lynch the guy we wanted?

also, a scum lyncher could be perfectly fine with lynching his teammates, because it essentially would make him pro town for all the others (we basically give him a perfect bus). an scum lyncher would probably be the only one who wouldn't lynch after consensus for the sake of him not losing his cover.

I agree, we need a lynchee, but we also should chose our lyncher wisely.

caligno, you realize that the lyncher will execute the one we ask him to, don't you?

choosing one is a mere formality

And fully choosing who the lyncher executes guts information. Just giving them a choice and seeing what is chosen is information in of itself.

You do realize that gaining information is the biggest goal of day 1, right?

By that same token, just choosing one willy nilly also guts information and gives mafia a lot more influence on who is chosen.

Seriously this is not a good idea and it should stop.
