He's also a total scummer. We'll kill him day2 unless something pertinent comes up. How much could change between now and then? | ||

I would think my chances of actually identifying scum on day one are less than 31%, therefore RNG would yield better results for me. Ofcourse, We would need to decide on who rolls the dice. How should we do that? I suggest we vote on it. | ||

Due to Stutters reply. As you begin to read his post he appears to care about what I said, then when you get to the end I realised that he does not care. There was no reason to continue that line of conversation with him and I had nothing that I wanted to post, so I decided to spare the poor tl.net servers the effort of adding another one of my posts for a short while.

But my post gave you something to post about and in turn gave me something to post about. Now I can wonder why you commented on my post twice even though that you thought my post had no purpose. You might be mafia looking for something to post about, but obviously this early in the game there is no real need for that. You may be town attempting to move a conversation forward. Or perhaps you genuinely thought I had a clue as to Stutter's alignment two hours into the game when only five people had posted, and felt the need to call me out on that. Either of those possibilities fit in with your second post. On October 31 2013 12:07 Asinine wrote: Looks like he didn't even gain Stutters support... Regardless, hzflank does not look good right now. The (rhetorical) question is: did you post that for the sake of posting something? Or did you post that hoping that I would reply directly to you? Or did you post that because when you were reading the thread for the first time you were already looking for scum, and my post was the only thing so far that looked like it might be scum? I have no flipping idea, but less than five hours into the game and when I am tired, that's the best that I can do at the moment. On October 31 2013 10:17 Stutters695 wrote: Why so srs?

The # in the upper left corner can be right-clicked and used to access the absolute TL post # for this post. That number mod 9 is the random lynch. 1 =Oats, 2 = rayn, etc, all the way up to 8 = holyflare and 0 = sloosh. The reason we use the absolute TL post number is that posts are constantly being made, so the number is truly random. We turn it into a number 1-9 by taking that number mod 9. What is mod? effectively, it's the remainder after division. For example. 10 mod 9 = 1. 11 mod 9 = 2. 18 mod 9 = 0. 19 mod 9 = 1. and so on. Basically, this generates a random number 1 through 9. I am in favor of the random lynch (though am somewhat interested in a policy lynch today as well-- TL does not do this enough. I will start off by voting for the random lynched based on THIS POST.

That's Oatsmaster. ##vote Oatsmaster i suggest we use that very method and use THIS POST. i've got to get to bed though, someone who's around mind calculating it? | ||

Your post: On October 31 2013 09:31 hzflank wrote: Stutters posting when he does not have to is a town Stutters. It is quite apparent that you were trying to bait Stutters into posting. This is not what I take issue with. My issue is that your first post is stated as a fact and an imperative. In other words, you are essentially saying that Stutters should post -- when he doesn't have to -- and you will automatically consider him town. Now this may not be what you wanted to say, but it is exactly what it sounds like you are saying to any third-party. "Come out to play, Stutters! If you post a lot, I won't think you're scum." I don't see much town motivation in this strategy. Yes, you may get Stutters to post a little more. This, in theory, should give you town cred. However, you are quite clearly choosing one of the most obvious lynchbait targets to talk about on Day 1. Additionally, after Stutters reply, you just disappear with no follow-up. When you return, you make a lengthy post that focuses on defending yourself. There is a wishy-washy accusation towards me, but it is weak and unsubstantiated. You are also strong-arming Stutters to play a particular way that could make his meta harder to read in the long run. All in all, I am still unimpressed with you. Convince me otherwise. | ||

If we hit scum, great, but then what do we do on day 2? If we hit town, fuck, but then what do we do on day 2? Yeah sure we have a 30% chance of hitting scum, but we also have a 70% chance of hitting town, Would you lynch someone who you think is 70% town? I dont think so. | ||
