Remember, thrawn wasn't on-board witht he "two scummy people duel" idea. He said making all those policies was pointless. So thrawn, why exactly do you want Hapa to duel? Do you think he is scum, or town? What is your ideal scenario for a duel? A strong townie vs a scum suspect? Or two scum suspects against each other? | ||

The only motivation I can see for this behaviour is to say "dudes, I'm in the game and doing stuff", which is behaviour I associate with scums. It wasn't a pointless question (and thrawn never answered it either). Thrawn came out and said "hey guys, forget all this policy stuff, its pointless. Just play!" Then, despite having no other mention of Hapa, as soon as other people start talking about him, thrawn was like "oh yea, hapa should duel tomorrow!" There's not even a read in there, since he took no stance on who *SHOULD* be dueling. It was just jumping onto thread sentiment with no thoughts towards Hapa from himself. | ||

The town thrawn I know is logical and takes his time to look at all sides of the situation, and I just haven't seen that from him this game. He's just been flying by the seat of his pants (iamp scum, no town, no scum again! Hapa should be a dueler tomorrow!) with little to no reasoning for his "reads". | ||

I honestly haven't put a whole lot of effort into the game at this point because I've just been busy. I'm not going to force reads I don't believe in though, nor am I going to apologize for that. You act like this is something new, though. In fact, iirc, this isn't even the first time you've made that statement about me on day 1 ("OMG you must be scum if you aren't sure about reads 24 hours into the game!"). Sorry, I'll work at my own pace and have reads when I have them. | ||

As a general rule, I don't share town reads unless 1) I am specifically asked for my thoughts on a person currently being discussed, or 2) said person is in danger of getting lynched. I'll get back to you on more scum reads. Thrawn was the biggest "sticks out like a sore thumb" in my read through while I was on lunch break. | ||

Adam On February 25 2013 12:55 Adam4167 wrote: I dropped my interest in you right about the time you said you wanted the two most abrasive and against-the-grain players to duel each other. That said to me that you are just being an emotional townie who wanted to get rid of people who weren't conforming to how you wanted the game played. I doubt scum would be making an argument like that, hence I have no interest in probing you further. On February 25 2013 13:28 Adam4167 wrote: I call you emotional because I just cant see the logic behind wanting the two people causing the most discussion to duel each other. Mafia that sit in the spotlight almost always fry, and as a general rule, try to avoid it. The likelyhood of either of us being scum is not good as a result. Adam came out all guns blazing with his "I'll duel someone when I feel its appropriate!" stance. But this passage of quotes is interesting, because he dropped his minor scumread on Cora because Cora's arguments made Adam look town. He doesn't care that Cora's argument is anti-town itself (Cora was interested in lynching yam or Adam because they were "disruptive" or whatever, not because he necessarily thought they were scum), only that he can use Cora's response to identify himself as town. That suggests to me that the whole bravado thing at the start of the game could be an act, because Adam was already thinking of how he could get town cred from his stance even before Cora pointed out his problems with it. | ||

Right (well, not exactly, because yamato and Adam weren't fighting, just taking a strong stance that differed from thread sentiment). But he's using the "scum don't want to be in the spotlight" sentiment to make HIMSELF a townie. | ||

On February 26 2013 12:57 Oatsmaster wrote: Ok so your plan is that we pick the one, and that person picks another to duel? It just screams manipulation to me, like you are giving scum a way out of getting lynched, assuming the one we pick is scum. Currently I dont have another plan, but I just dont think this is a good idea. I don't really see how there is any manipulation. I mean, lets say we as a town pick 2 people. Both of those people are going to do whatever they can to get the other lynched rather than themselves. Now, lets say we only pick one person and tell them to pick their top scum read. Both will still do whatever they can to make sure the other gets lynched rather than themselves. I do see a downside to this plan though. The quality of the person we pick's read is likely to be "worse" than the collective reasoning of the entire town. Granted that's not always the case (see Mayors who actually lynch scum), but in general I like keeping as much power in town hands as possible without arbitrarily distributing it to people we already deem are scummy every day. | ||

It does nothing to illustrate why i'm scum, only that I was using logic that shows I think i'm town and everyone else should think it too. My point was, I think that would be easy for you to fake, especially in light of someone else already saying the exact same thing (so you could back out of it and just be like "Oh Yam did it first, sorry guyz"), and then using the opportunity to manipulate town opinion. If you're town, what was your goal with that statement? I can only see trying to bully people into a read of you, and I don't know why you would need to do that as town. | ||

I feel like it did a good job of accomplishing those objectives. So, if you are town and you believe yamato is town for being willing to go against the grain, then why do you need to "go against the grain" too? Do we need 2 townies on day 1 who are willing to step in for the duel? Did you mean "Oh, later on after yamato dies (because I think he's town and he can do it fine), I'll step up and duel people" ? The sentiment behind the idea is all well and good, but in your case it literally serves no purpose except to bully people into thinking you are town. | ||

I'm not entirely convinced Adam is scum, but I wanted some comments on it. On February 26 2013 15:20 Adam4167 wrote: This point isnt going anywhere because there is no point to begin with. Even if I were stepping forward to 'duel on towns behalf after yamato died or otherwise', how does that show only scum motivation? It could just as easily be coming from a townie wanting to fight. Bad case. You're brushing away my point with trivialities. I don't really give a shit what your actual stance on who should duel is, if you can provide good reasoning and show why its good for town. What does concern me is that I can't see any actual point to your stance. How is it beneficial to town? You see, the problem is, you may never even have to back your stance up in this game. What if every day we have a town collective agreement on who should duel? Or someone goes balls deep and duels on their own? Or someone refuses to duel, and we have a Likely Townie step in the duel the person who refuses? Etc, etc. When it gets to day 6 or something, and you've never had to actually back up your opinion on how you would handle the dueling, you can still say "But look guys, I'm town because I had a unique idea day 1 even though it didn't actually mean anything and I never had to put it into practice!" Do you not see how that could be beneficial for scum? | ||

I'd appreciate it if someone could look at my points about Adam and give some comments other than "lol bad". Tell me why. Maybe I'm just paranoid. I mean, at least he did take some kind of stance, and he's right, it was against the grain and I would normally give a few townie points for that. I'm just failing to see how, in this particular instance, his stance is beneficial to town, because I can't really predict any scenario in which he'll have to back it up. | ||

I could see it being responsible for maybe 10% worth of a scum read. I'm much more interested in anything else you have to say. AFAIK, i never said "Okay guys, Adam 100% scum lets lynch him". I saw something, and mentioned it to the thread to get some feedback. | ||
