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.

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.
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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

If it's RVS, then that makes it worse. The point of RVS is to get OUT of RVS, and voting for yourself in this situation does literally fuck all to do that.

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

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?
Amianki
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.
Sephibro
kingmaker is a mechanic which gives much less information than a standard vote based one
our goal is to cheat this mechanic to be able to vote for the one we want to lynch, instead for the one who lynches

you know this and you hate this mechanic, why do you still want to use it when it limits the information we can get?

brb in 3~4 hrs
Amianki
What I'm suggesting is in between the two.

The kingmaker setup where we give the king the ability to go full retard and do whatever the hell he wants is retarded.
Similarly, choosing a random person and giving that person only one choice is similarly retarded.

The problems with the first are that the town can't control anything about what the kingmaker does, so we basically only get information based on what the king picks.
The problems with the second are exactly the opposite. The king gets no choice in anything, so what he ends up choosing is literally just a standard vote-based system.

We get the best of both worlds by mixing the two together. Having the town agree on a small lynch pool and having the lyncher choose from that pool gives us information from both ends of the spectrum.
fartownik
We do it democratic way, end of story. If the Lyncher disobeys, he will be punished the next day.

Also, keep in mind that the person chosen for the position will be lynch-immune today.

You guys have already mentioned it - there's no real difference who is the lyncher, unless that guy is going to be a dick and randomly lynch somebody we don't pick. Even if he's not scum, killing somebody we don't choose together will be basically considered a scumclaim.

Anyway, pvote: Nyquill. This might be my imagination, but this guy looks like he's trying to force a lynch on somebody who's been discredited a lot with no coverage from himself.

I think letting the Lyncher to have any choice at all is a bad idea. We won't get any info out of who he picks anyways, unless you choose someone severely scumreaded by most, but that'd just be silly. There's NO NEED to give powers to the Lyncher, voting is informational enough.

Also you want to give him a 'small pool of people to lynch', which is directly eliminating some of players from the potential lynch pool, which should not ever happen as well.

1. If we give a lynch pool of three people (as an example), then being able to cross-reference WHY he chose one over the other two could be very useful information once we've had scumflips. This would essentially be done the same way as we're doing now, just with more people on the chopping block.
2. Giving voting rights to town (which would be >75% [I'd very roughly estimate around 80%] since we're voting someone who most people believe is town anyway) would give everyone in the pool a reason to still talk. If mafia are in that pool, they will want to find ways to not get lynched, which adds more information. If they were the only one on the chopping block, why would they ever talk again?
3. Giving voting rights to scum (very rough estimate of 20% because of above) would allow possible association tells to come up later, and they would have to be pretty damn transparent about their choice and motivations.
4. Forcing people to disclose more of their reads is better than giving people the option to hide reads and disclose only one scumread. There's also the fact that the lyncher doesn't actually have to do fuck all reads wise if we do it your way.

#1 covers this.

I'm going back to Caligno's example, but the main point here was that fart and him provided a false choice for Caligno: Caligno wouldn't want to vote a townread that has his own bad reads, and they interpreted it to be that Caligno would rather vote for the scummiest person instead, completely ignoring the idea of a second townread, or just voting for a less scummy person. The intent here feels like an attempt to discredit Caligno.

As for why Nyquill is first instead of fart, he has posted much less than fart overall with less actual content too. And this vote with no explanation:

I would provide a lynch vote count now but the forums are acting up.

Hello...

You guys are very active when I was sleeping. :o
Nyquill
.... did you really just limit scumpool to two people there, well thats fucking great.

I'm not trying to discredit shit. I'm trying to clear confusion that can otherwise be problematic which instead ended up being fucked.

As for why I voted for farto, I have a strong feeling there is scum between calignobot and fartownik, and at the moment calignobot is slightly more pro-town by motivations, but is having a horrible time trying to make himself understandable.
