Smurf Mini Mafia - Page 11

I am 100% sure about Troughton being scum, but if we examine the scenario where Troughton is town and Tennant is scum, why would Tennant not immediately slap his vote down onto Troughton once the case popped up? He still took a bit of time to think about it.

can someone explain to me their reasoning for voting DrTennant? Having read over his posts and the posts of others several times now, I still don't understand why he's receiving votes. Someone explain it to me like I'm brain-dead or a five year old-exactly why he is the best lynch for today.

I'd much rather get PTroughton to say something worthwhile. I expect players in this game to avoid bullshitting and roleplaying given that it's a smurf game and it's in our best interest to get things organised rapidly. Trolling around is in direct opposition to that goal, particularly as we are at a huge disadvantage to a normal game in which we can use meta-analysis to determine whether behaviour of a certain type is to be expected.

I think Dr. Tennant would be a good lynch today for the reasons others have touched upon, but I do think there would be a better lynch for today.

PTroughton's first post says almost nothing, and the few things it actually says are wrong.

He starts by going after H3's manner of speaking (blunt, small posts) while saying that he's trying to avoid contact with the rest of the people in the thread. I read this entirely as the opposite, while his posts are small and blunt, they also read as genuine conversation from H3. He's certainly not hiding from the discussion at all.

Troughton then states that H3 is lurking. Where could he have possibly gotten this from? This is a complete lie about H3's activity. The best part: Troughton has only made 1 post halfway through day one, and is trying to get H3 lynched based on "lurking".

It would not take more than 5 minutes effort to make a case on H3 that actually holds up, at least at first glance, but Troughton couldn't even be bothered to do that. He goes after something that a lot of townies do these days, and then lies about his activity.

Dismissing all of the roleplaying he appears to be attempting, he is quite obviously scum. He tried using his roleplaying to cover up for the fact that he has not read the thread, and is not invested in the game.

PTroughton is quite obviously the best lynch today because he is scum. I will consolidate on Dr. Tennant if it comes to that, because there's a distinct possibility he is scum, but I believe Troughton is caught red handed.

pt not talking about me at all is a big red flag in my eyes as well. I could kill him. I think you have a point that he may not be reading the thread. how can he not take a stance on me one way or the other after all that has been put out there.

Alright, I respect that. Well thought-out.

What I would like from you is assuming we lynch Trout today, he flips scum, where do you look tomorrow? Obviously this is going to be subject to change from how D1 finishes, but work with what you have now.

Right now the most suspicious people (assuming Tennant is town, and Troughton has flipped scum) are anyone who referred to Troughton as a policy lynch (trying to defend Troughton without actually defending the case), especially if they were sheeping the Tennant case without adding anything, or adding very little.

JPertwee, the problem I am having is that the wagon building against Trout all revolves around that one single post. Yes, his initial post was shit. But if we were lynching people off of shitty first posts, we'd have a long queue of people to hang. I am not comfortable lynching off a sample size of one.

On the other hand Dr.Tennant has 'been in the spotlight' for over a day now and produced nothing. He's apparently still reading the thread and choosing to not contribute, which is worse than Trout dropping a single bad post and then falling off the face of the planet.

The bandwagon against Troughton started with Tom advocating a policy lynch, which he denied doing in his recent posts, and which I proved to be true instead.

Tell me more about Tom and his recent actions, JP.

But more importantly, why didn't you attack H3 for jumping on the bandwagon against Trout that quickly, if you are arguing that scum would do that, and that DrT is town for voicing his suspicion earlier and allegedly being careful with his vote.

Your reasoning seems to be inconsistent with your scumreads.

You also have to consider that DrT never wrote a case or posted analysis of his own, and him thinking before voting Trout is something you're pulling out of your ass. He asked trout a question on why he's not commenting on him, and when you and Tom started voting for him, he made that a scumread without even getting an answer first. Where would we be getting if we voted some dude cause he doesn't answer a question about why he's not talking about us.

The most plausible explanation is that Trout has simply been afk all this time since that post, if he saw what was happening he could have simply changed his style to something more serious and take the wind out of tom's sails, or at least posted some defense.

You still didn't deliver any comments on the points brought against DrT. You prefer rehashing your only point in defense of him, which is very dangly.

Oh I see why you mention the last part of that post. It's to agree with DrT's assessment that townies change their mind all the time and make quick judgments.

Sadly, the correctness of that statement is completely unrelated to the arguments brought against him. He's not scum for being right or wrong about that, he's scum for being defensive when he had no reason to

Funny that you even bring unrelated stuff up just to defend him.

Baker, what do you think is Tom trying to achieve here?

This is why I said earlier I should let him defend himself. Whatever, he's going to get lynched, if he's town it's not going to be my problem. I don't want to waste time with this.

I also have no interest in releasing my reads now when it's going to do absolutely nothing. No one who is in the position of influencing the lynch actually seems to be able to properly understand what I say anyway.

JP is the hardest call in the game at the moment, probably along with eccleston.

There's probably 2, if not 3 scum in this list

DrT
JP
Eccleston
PT
Tom
Hurn

I just need to weed out the townies.

I can name at least two people who would make better lynches (whom I haven't already), but it's pretty pointless given that it looks to be a fruitless endeavour right now. It's better for me to sit on those reads and see how they develop without interference.

Troughton is still a better lynch than DrT and he still has enough votes to be a viable candidate. He's not responded at all to any of the votes he's received. In fact, he's still done nothing at all since his first two posts.

If DrT is town and he dies, it's my fault?

wtf?

I'm one of two people who is trying to change the lynch, and all of you on that wagon are resisting the change immensely. There's no point in me saying anything more than "I think you guys are wrong and it's in the best interest of everyone to wait for the lynch if no opinions are going to change."

Results effect change in this game, unfortunately. Based on the reactions I got earlier and the time left in the day, if I have a correct read (and I think I do) it would only result in the scum being forewarned and changing behavior in the 48+ hours where they are basically immune to dying. I've seen it all too often before.

This is really irrelevant to the problem at hand, but the point is that if you're somehow right and we're wrong, you still couldn't manage to convince town that you were right, so you're equally bad.

It's equally awful to be wrong, and to be unable to convince people you're right. And it's about as useful.

And the reason I want your reads is that it's incredibly scum favored to hide them, if you are scum that is. It's much harder to change a read when you have to provide legitimate reasons for it, instead of just saying "hey I thought about it all along".

Maybe we should just last minute switch and kill you because you're bad and annoying.

I'm curious to see what he has to say and the rest of you are getting DrT lynched already. Time for another wagon so that the day gets interesting.

But more importantly, why didn't you attack H3 for jumping on the bandwagon against Trout that quickly, if you are arguing that scum would do that, and that DrT is town for voicing his suspicion earlier and allegedly being careful with his vote.
