Did the other scum help you with this strategy? | ||

This game is all about finding a way to work despite the information disadvantage, and find the scum. Active non-contribution is a fairly valid reason for a D1 lynch, in absence of scumtells. | ||

What did you expect to happen in a game that's all about persuasion, scamming, and perception? | ||

##Vote Tube Until and unless we get a clear scumread, let's get rid of the guy who's actively not contributing by telling us we're doing it wrong and not doing anything else, like posting a read or starting a useful discussion. | ||

You're basically telling us that until and unless the scum team decides to tell us who they are we should shut up and sit down, because you don't like our speculation. Without, might I add, elucidation on what's wrong with the arguments being presented. | ||

I can't argue with the mindset, I've taken it myself. But if you haven't actually TRIED to be productive, and you have half the town on you, you need to start presenting a defense. | ||

What matters is a combination of intuition and persuasion. Discussion, analysis, and reading between the lines. The scum have information, we don't. We talk, we have conversations, we get people's stories, we look for things that don't make sense, we make guesses. In other words, the town speculates, and hopes for the best. The best is more likely if we have a lot of actual discussion (one line posts telling everybody you don't agree with them without saying why or what you believe isn't discussion). People who post things that only contribute clutter are bad for the town. "I don't agree." as the paraphrased sum of your post is a great example of only contributing clutter. | ||

If you flip scum, I'll consider them confirmed townie. Deal? | ||

While tube is at the top of my list right now (even moreso after chainsaw defending himself with a list of lurkers), we don't know if he'll be the scummiest player by the D1 lynch deadline. I was actually fishing for a reaction more substantial than his current posting, thanks for interfering. And you're one to talk, remember XX N1 where you were like 72 hours away from deadline planning to lynch me until DT confirmed me on D2? | ||

Low-content posts are so useful for scum because they give the appearance of activity without having large amounts of content that could potentially be used in a case against you. | ||

On July 17 2012 06:02 drwiggl3s wrote: Is this.. a scum slip? You should always go for mafia. Lynching someone for being bad-town is a mistake. This is a noobie game after all. No, it's not a scum slip. It's what I said earlier, if we don't have anybody who really screams "scum" at us, we can just lynch the person who might just be actively bad town. The "noob game" excuse doesn't fly with me, we're all newbs, thus being in the game. This game is plurality lynch. Most votes at the end of the day dies. So yes, someone who's actively not contributing can be a severe detriment. Ask Hapa about the town win in XX. Where the guy I would have lynched for being such a PITA was trying to coerce people into not voting for the guy we ended up lynching. Who flipped red and won us the game. Actively bad town are scum's best friend. And if they make it to MYLO or LYLO, they can cause a town loss, because they look scummy. In XVIII I won as scum because of an actively bad town player who I was able to lead a mislynch on and walk away from it because he was so scummy sounding. Scum had all 3 alive at endgame. | ||

On July 17 2012 06:37 tube wrote: by the by that also applies to jinglehell's reasoning as to why i should be lynched My reasoning to consider you a target is simple. 1: If we hit MYLO or LYLO with someone posting like you are alive, it greatly increases our odds of a mislynch. 2: If we don't get any scum to lynch (which you seem to think we can't possibly get any information on D1, which is a self-fulfilling prophecy, if nobody gets people talking we're guaranteed to never have information) we can only go by "scummiest". Right now, whether you like it or not, your behavior strikes me as scummy. And, it seems, everybody else agrees that your play is somewhere in the realm of bad town or scum. Which makes you one of the current scummiest. Hence, a target. | ||

On July 17 2012 06:42 Mufaa wrote: Ok, time to get to work. @Tube - You need to start contributing if you want to live. I wouldn't vote for you currently, but only because it's still early. You're the most obvious lynch right now. Instead of telling everyone why you should live, show everyone why you should live. Contribute something other than one liners (Who do you suspect? What seems suspicious to you?). It doesn't have to be an airtight case, but we need to force scum to make slips, not dropping one liners that lets everyone bandwagon you halfway through d1. @Jingle- Early in the day you say: A reasonable opinion, except for the fact that you have two out of the three total votes so far. Both of your votes/cases so far have been the most obvious choices, which if the day ended right now I would be upset if we didnt lynch one of them. When you're claiming that you hate the risk of early bandwagons however and you're the most likely cause of a bandwagon forming I have to question it. I'm not sure if you're scum, but this feels like you're trying to skirt around discussions by picking the most obvious tells without actually trying to find scum. More to come, but I need to check over filters more closely before I do. The "early bandwagons" I was referring to, for the sake of context, is votes where you don't have an explanation. It's hard to defend against no reason, hence making for a danger of bandwagons. I try to have some sort of reason for a vote, which leaves room for them to counter, which means that people might have more reason to jump OFF of an early bandwagon if the need arises. | ||

You aren't fomenting discussion, you're hampering it by posting low content posts, saying, basically, that everyone's arguments suck, but you can't be assed to tell us what's wrong with them. If you don't understand how that doesn't help, you're definitely a hindrance. And if you do understand and don't actually try to fix it, that's even worse. What you need to do is make your behavior useful. Short, non-committal posts are very much a scummy thing. | ||

I'm saying tube sounds scummy as all hell, and if we don't lynch him because of it now, if he IS town, his scummy play may bite us in the ass later. If the only two options for someone are "scum" and "seems like scum", it's a choice between "Lynch now" and "lynch later", unless they fix their play enough to get some BOTD. | ||

On July 17 2012 07:14 tube wrote: how is there even such a thing as mafia "generally" act this way because if that were true a mafia would never act that way you guys find it really hard to believe that a townie wouldn't want to attract attention until he found more evidence or made some kind of actual connection between nights and days Welcome to the wide world of WIFOM. The thing is, there's some scum tells that are still relatively solid, despite scum knowing them. Not committing is one of them. Just because scum know it's dangerous, doesn't mean they can avoid it completely. If you take strong stances, it can come back and bite you later, unless your strong stances, and your transition from one to another, make sense. It's more prone to making sense if you're town. No, you can't "know" that something is or isn't scummy. But you also can't make a case without deciding something seems scummy for X reason. If you never make cases, the scum are guaranteed to win. It doesn't matter what your reasoning is, HAVING reasoning for what you do or say is always relevant. So far, you've failed horrible in that regard. And a townie wanting to withhold judgment for a lack of evidence should either show some initiative and look into the case, and post their reasoning on it, or stay the hell out from underfoot so they don't clutter things up and start sidetracks. | ||

On July 17 2012 07:30 tube wrote: Yeah I agree his argument had bad logic but again I think he's just making accusations out of nothing, like this segment for example: I don't necessarily read such an argument as a scumtell because it could also just as easily be his candid attempt at scumhunting. Fact of the matter is, there's virtually no way to tell for something like this. Also, if you think putting words into people's mouths is suspicious, take a look at JingleHell's early posts against me that sparked the entire bandwagon. He does it multiple times by saying that I basically said so and so and therefore was clearly playing against town. Feel free to respond showing how my paraphrasing was so unreasonable, in context, without reading your mind, otherwise this sounds like an OMGUS. | ||
