wait there are four factions in this game?

Guess I might as well read the op then.

Wave that was a mighty suspicious post, sounds like you're trying to make excuses for future bad play...

If he's scum nobody's gonna lynch the guy so as much as I'd feel bad not letting him play, mebbe somebody shoot him or something just to remove all doubt?

I understand where the bolded logic comes from, in a normal game he wouldn't be lynched right away because scum wouldn't hop on the wagon. However in this game the same rules don't apply since there are more factions. I think it's very possible to see zero opposition wagons happen on scum.

That actually adds a pretty interesting element to the game. Connection speculation is less useful - or more precisely said more complicated.

I agree that's it's gonna be more complicated which is why I'd rather not use it as a heuristic for a D1 lynch, after we see a few flips we can start speculating again but right now I think it's more distracting than useful and we should focus on simple behavior based scum hunting.

It's also obvious who are going to jump out in the front and try and lead town one way or another. We definitely have a mafia or two in the first couple of pages.

You sound confident, enough that I think you have your eye on someone already. Care to share as to who it may be?

Dis is some gud shit right here.

I was going to yell at you for the RNG nonsense but then I realized that you're right and even if you're scum, your plan has a decent chance of hitting other scum.

HOWEVER, this is my first game in forever so fuck yo RNG, I'm gonna choose my vote the old fashioned way.

Or Instead of the old fashioned homeopathic non-vaccinated way, you could use your vote in the scientifically correct way and vote OdinofPergo!

Vaccines cause autism tho

I understand the part about gut reads, I've had them myself and I know how frustrating it is to try and explain them. I give her (is ninja a her?) a pass for now because her posts seem very unguarded and often early game is when scum are most uptight.

I don't know.

All I know is he's waffling repeatedly and nonsensically about the same stupid thing. That'll do for now.


What do you mean "I don't know"? You were very specific about your reasons last time. Please be more specific again.

I've been perfectly specific, especially for a vote less than an hour into the game. Afraid you'll have to put up with it, dear.


It just felt like you didn't care too much about your vote. From my previous experience with you, you're very conservative and cautious at the start as town - carefully searching for a good lynch. On the other hand, you're more aggressive and lynch-happy as scum (I don't think I've ever played with you as being scum, but I went through your earlier games in one earlier game and came to that conclusion). That's why I'm afraid that you might have rolled scum this time.

Actually historically I throw my vote around more as town, although it varies from game to game. Worry all you like dear.

I'd worry more about not talking bollocks over multiple posts if I were you ^_^


Can you tell us more about your meta so we can read you correctly?

Plz tell me this was sarcasm

nope. you guys just cant handle my brutal honesty

anyways i'm probably going to dick around for a bit and start playing more seriously once the game gets going, similar to last game.

Just what I expected sadly.

Specify "bollocks". Nobody else seems to agree with that definition of my posts (at least I don't think so).

I've seen you start the game with a half-assed vote several times as scum. When you've been town, you're usually even overly passive/cautious to begin with. That's what I don't like here.

Find me someone who will vouch for your series of posts on voting patterns and crap deciding the Day 1 lynch actually being useful, and maybe we can talk again. Toddle along now ^_^


MZ and Tehpoofter I think mentioned that they liked what I said on the topic. Not that it was something über-useful, but definitely not "bollocks". Lol

While I may have agreed with you xata, my post on the subject was actually trying to get people to drop it so it wouldn’t clutter the thread. Of course then people went and made it a thing -_-
