Giving scum any more info puts them in an even greater advantage over us. A mass vig claim would be the same as handing them a hit list. some of gonzaw's points however are pretty valid (no late-game chaos with vig claiming before lynch, etc etc).
Either way, I can't see a vig following either one of y'alls policies. He claims, town lynches him and nothing is gained. He claims, chance of mafia taking him out or keeps him alive, either way there's chaos.
I suggest that our vigilante (if we have one) doesn't claim at all. If he's about to be lynched then he needs to defend himself as a normal townie because claiming vig is going to create a shitstorm for us, which gives scum the upper hand. If he's going to use his kp one someone, he doesn't need to claim before or after the kill. It's going to create too much confusion and WIFOM and finger-pointing and shit.
So I think that vigilantes should not make any claims this game.
I know how much we love the 3rd and 4th person to jump on an opinion and now that he knows people will agree with him, he can be firm in his assertion Because people are giving opinions there will inevitably be people who give opinions that other already have. Paqman was the 2nd to say that vigilantes should not claim + Show Spoiler +(after VE, johnny also seems to support the idea but didn't take this stance Sentinel doesn't count because he didn't read the OP and his opinion cannot have had much grounding). But how is that scummy? You might argue that he was trying to sheep town sentiment but at that point the thread was still quite divided. I was saying that he did this after he had tried to post a middle of the road opinion.

Interestingly filmsy opinion again, to me this just feels like he has more information than I do Paqman's comment is reasonable. VE's vote is dependent on a particular interpretation of the use of the word "our". Nobody should be convinced by it!Not being convinced is reasonable. Wanting to see how a player reacts to an accusation before judging them is reasonable I am wondering how mattchew ended up "feeling" like this comment in any way indicated that Paqman had more information than him. I got that feeling because its context can be read that he is basically telling VE that he is wrong, but doesn't want blantantly tell him that.
Also, I never commented on the vig plans cause I don't care about blues, as I have said a lot in coaching, they are a nice to have not a need to have. What a town needs to have is scum hunting and clear townies, this will support our blues more than any amount of direction. I don't think Gonzaw's plan is scummy, however I don't agree with scum being forced into acting the way he thinks they will. His entire plan, I feel, revolves around vigs getting their shots right, which will be hard enough in this game. I am null on VE, I am hoping that whatever he is doing will become more evident as the day goes on, cause right now he just looks like he is tunneling a little. Layabout just mentioned all the lurkers, I have already said I'm down with a BM lynch (a little less now that Paqman said that too). I would also be willing to lynch anyone else on that lynch that doesn't come out to play

Hitting a GF will result in WIFOM about what happened to his shot (GFs are night-kill immune). Right, so scum could claim their shot was blocked on some random townie and WIFOM it up. Gotcha. So, are there in fact any GOOD circumstances to make a vig shot? ^=== HOLY SHIT this question is bad. holy shit. Of course there's good circumstances to make a vig shot! SHOOT A SCUM GUY. Christ.

You're lurking in plain sight. ##vote: marvellosity.

And the difference is, the posts Marvellosity makes aren't posts. They're squawks. There's no meaning to any of them.
Marv isn't "Here". He isn't "Contributing". He's trying pretty hard to LOOK like it without actually doing SHIT. Read his actual filter dude. It's like 4 posts, all of which are 0-content and ask dumb questions or questions that somehow hurt town.
Marv deserves everything I've given him and more.

Risen why are you telling us to kill all of the lurkers when we are about 17 or so hours into the game, and when you yourself have only just started to post?
I think marvel looks bad because he was around in the first couple of hours of the game, he was willing to make comments in the thread but he was unwilling to share an opinion. Every player should have an opinion about what is best, and the only players who would fear to share them are mafia, since telling and possibly helping town to do what you think is best for town is not in your best interests.

. By directing jk away from targets and the vigis you give scum a potential three kill night. They can kill the vig, another person, and then if the vigi target is town they get to laugh at us. The OP says that goon shoot's before vig. If the mafia shoot the vig before the vig shoots then the vig will not be able to shoot a townie so only the big would die. If the other hit went through then we would have 2 dead players not 3.

Oh, alright. I had read the vigi shot being refunded, but didn't apply that to them not shooting if they were killed.
And wtf? Where the fuck do you get me targeting ANYONE right now? Do you see me voting any "lurkers"? Did I point any out? No. I didn't. Why didn't I? Because I know how early it is in the game. Take your useless shit somewhere else layabout.

On April 21 2012 16:13 gonzaw wrote:To Janaan:Show nested quote +On April 21 2012 15:52 Janaan wrote: Here's my take on the whole vig claiming issue. I think it's a bad idea for a vig to shoot without claiming. The problem for me is that if vigs don't claim and get lynched, we won't really have any idea that the GF flip wasn't true, which would cause confusion. The only solution is for them to claim ahead of time.
However, I'm not ok with just a mass claim on N1 like Gonzaw has suggested, as that could lead to scum just shooting the vigs before they can shoot, taking away a valuable asset to the town.
What I would suggest is that on N1, vigs claim AND fire, shooting into any lurkers we have. If mafia want to fake-claim, then what this policy would force them to do is use a night kill on a lurker instead of an active town, which would actually help the town weed out lurkers, and make it harder on scum to hide, and save an active town member. Therefore it's less likely that a fake-claim will occur (WIFOM I know, but I still think it's logical) It will also get all the vig shots out of the way so scum can't claim vig later on.
The problem with this is that in a way it's a waste of the town's resources by aiming at lurkers and not directly at scum. I still think that minimizing the confusion caused if vigs flip is at least potentially worth something, though. The other problem is that we may not HAVE any lurkers, in which case we'd need to try something else. What that would be I'm not sure, but this plan WILL NOT work without obvious lurkers to shoot, since one of it's major advantages is making it less likely that scum will claim.
Any thoughts/comments? Think this is a good idea? Tell me why. Same for if you think it's a terrible plan.
I'll be going to bed in a minute, I'll be back tomorrow. I like it that you are trying to bring new ideas to the table (so I guess this is not a "very bad 1st post" from yours  ) Okay, answer me these questions then: 1)What happens if we lynch a GF (someone flips GF) on D1 then? (in your plan vigs claim in N1) 2)If all vigs shoot "lurkers" on N1, what happens if there are 3 vigs and the 3 lurkers are town? What happens if there is a KP unaccounted for? What happens if town wanted someone else dead, and some people actually thought a targeted lurker was town or had better candidates in mind? 3)Why would you want to protect vigs? They are Millers who flip GF upon death and can't actually shoot GFs. Why would you NOT want scum to shoot them on N1? How are they a "valuable asset" in this case? 4)Who decides who shoots who? Remember this from the OP: 2 or more vigs can shoot the same guy, which leads me to the next point: 5)What happens if a scum claims vig "after" someone else claimed vig and he claims he targeted a "lurker" that another vig targeted? Would you believe they are 2 vigs that were lucky enough to target the same player, or that one is a vig and the other one a scum that just chose to "hide" behind the other vig so he didn't have to waste the Goon's KP? Final question:What do you think about VE, his "case" and my case against him? And what about other players that have been the focus of attention lately? I'll only briefly answer these questions in the spoiler, because I think at this point, we're past the vig discussion. No plan will work unless everyone agrees to it, and the discussion so far leads me to believe that it isn't going to happen. At this point, any vigs we have will do what they want to, and we'll have to use our best judgement when things start happening.
+ Show Spoiler +1. I don't know, actually. I suppose it could be better for vigs to claim on day 1 if this plan was followed, that's a possible revision that could have been made. The only issue with that, though, is that even if someone claimed vig, if they were looking scummy enough to be lynched before, I don't know that a claim would be enough to stop the lynch, since it could have just been a scum trying to not get lynched by claiming. I'm honestly not sure which would be a better option.
2. I was assuming that the vigs would claim their targets, not just their roles. So as town, we'd know ahead of time if a vig thought there was a "better target" and we could either try to suggest someone else if we disagreed or let it go if we agree. As far as the other part of your question, what if the lurkers are all town, that would be bad I agree. But I'd rather the vigs be completely open about what they're doing, make it harder for fake-claims, and be down a couple lurking townies than have mass confusion because of a vig/GF flip. I'm weighing the cost/benefits, and this is the best option I could come up with, even though I don't like it. I could be overestimating the confusion that could occur I guess, but we'll have to wait and see about that.
3. The "valuable asset" that I was specifically speaking about was their vig shot. In your plan, it seemed like you were suggesting a mass claim on day 1, then the vigs just sit around waiting for a good shot to take. The problem I had was that scum could pick them off before anything constructive could get done with the shot. This way, at least we can have vigs make it harder for scum to hide through lurking and scum don't have a chance to do anything about it.
4. Again, I was assuming that vigs would claim targets. Having two target the same lurker wouldn't happen, because the second vig would see that there was already someone claiming that target.
5. Same answer, really. The only excuse for a claimed target not dying *should* be that the target was a GF. That's the only option in my mind.
I'll need to re-read the 2 cases again to be sure, but if I remember right, I don't really agree with the conclusions on either of them. At this point, I don't think I'm willing to go with a VE or Gonzaw D1 lynch.
