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.

lynch methods in the next few days are also democratic*
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.CalignoBot wrote:

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.
If you have any ideas for concrete reads based on what we have so far, I'm all ears.
Incorrect. I would never elect a pro-town with reads that are complete shit.Jinxy wrote:

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.

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.
So you prefer to pick the scummiest one out of all?CalignoBot wrote:

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.
what the fuck?
no what the actual fuck I have no clue what calignobot is talking about, someone else understand?
Whoa, such an active game.
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?

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 .Nyquill wrote:

Though I feel that this is derailing a little because no one's conftown on D1, anyway.

jesus gone at work for a while andso much. pleasew wait
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

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 :\fartownik wrote:

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.

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?

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.

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.

fartownik you didn't even address the point I was referring to. I was referring to the lyncher-lynchee information point that you literally just deflected in order to try to force shit without actually arguing for your side.
2. Remember when you brought up a plan on the MS stacking the deck game on suggesting a massclaim? What I see here is really close to how I expected that would be executed.
3. Just ignoring everything I said about this again as well as not explaining how your side is any different.
4. That question was a stretch and the fact that you're sticking to it after I've went through my entire thought process is very telling.

2. I have no idea why you find this a scumtell, also I already admitted I've proposed it today for the reactions.
3. CTs had no chance to be read as Town by anyone by random voting.Your point was shitty and I asked you an obvious question that comes to mind after reading it.CalignoBot wrote:
Because both you and fartownik literally asked why I wouldn't just vote anyone I find protown, but whatever. Go ahead and keep deflecting.
2. Remember when you brought up a plan on the MS stacking the deck game on suggesting a massclaim? What I see here is really close to how I expected that would be executed.
3. Just ignoring everything I said about this again as well as not explaining how your side is any different.
4. That question was a stretch and the fact that you're sticking to it after I've went through my entire thought process is very telling.

1. Assuming that saying I wouldn't vote for someone protown for a specific reason means that I would vote for someone scummy instead.

1. I only pointed out a flaw in your logic.
2. So how should a town-oriented massclaim be executed?
3. I already said that my side is THAT I DON'T AGREE WITH YOU READING HIM FROM ONE RANDOM VOTE POST.

It really doesn't matter much who's gonna be the lyncher, just vote JInxy and let's focus on the real voting as quick as possible.

vote: Jinxy
Why do both of you sound so eager for Jinxy to be leader?
And whats up with the wagon? I realize he will choose to lynch who we pick, but it's rather odd how it grew within a short amount of time.
This game annoys me more and more with every post I read...
Perhaps I should take a brief break from mafia after it.

I'm not going to address anything else you say until you address my lyncher-lynchee point, fartownik.
AKA stop trying to sweep it under the rug by ignoring it.

Please repeat your point. I must've lost it somewhere.

Actually, I will only ever support finishing a wagon on someone who has made their reads clear. This strategy of just putting someone random in power without fully discussing these is incredibly worse information-wise.
Right here.CalignoBot wrote:
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.
This type of response won't work again. Explain WHY your way is better than mine.fartownik wrote:
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.
Oh, sorry.
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.fartownik wrote:

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.

Pvote: Nyquill
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:
...wait, pieguy is in the game? Last post was still about the massclaim. Prod: pieguy
I would provide a lynch vote count now but the forums are acting up.

.... 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.
