I might and might not be sporadically unavailable during the period of time between the second full moon after winter solstice and until Eid ul-Fitr due to uncoordinated heavy breathing.

Also, I cannot wait for this game to start.

Gollum was clearly evil and the Ents were clearly good, although they were pretty lazy. Ask yourself, would an omnipotent Gollum have sided with Gandalf? Would an omnipotent Treebeard have sided with Sauron?

Also, why are we talking about neutral factions when we should clearly be talking about Voldemort and the Ring Wraiths?

Gollum was evil 'cause he'd happily kill everybody in Middle Earth just to get the object of his desire, Deagol, Frodo, and Samwyse all got a taste of that. I suggest we try to be reasonably active and hope someone slips up, talking about Tom Bombadil being an SK isn't gonna help anybody and it's just mindless speculation.

I don't have any concrete suggestions on how to get the ball rolling, it just kinda builds up during most games I suppose and then suddenly we have something. Keep your eyes open and be active, even though that's pretty generic

What is the point of arguing about the passing of a ring that is probably not going to get passed, hell, we don't even know if whoever has it even has the ability to pass it? Though it was offered willingly a couple of times (to Galadriel and to Aragorn and at Rivendell Frodo also wanted to get rid of it), I think that it is silly to spam and think about it when it's purely speculation and when there's more important stuff to do.

Right now GreYMisT wrote a(nother) stupid post, saying "I'm sorry, I'm stupid and I'm on a phone too, that's worth a post in and of itself, but I see why you think I'm scum and stupid but I'm really just stupid". This just doesn't sit well with me even though the original reasoning for even voting him was inarguably pretty weak.

Oh yea Samwyse also had it at some point right? He had it and then he willingly gave it to Frodo 'cause he didn't want to walk around with it or something and then later he indirectly carried it, carrying Frodo who was carrying it. Woopseedaisy.

So if the ring bearer is lynched the ring goes to a random person who voted for him. This will encourage all scum to all vote for the person who is most likely to get lynched, so scum will have a bigger chance of procuring the ring. This makes it twice as important to have at least two candidates with as many votes as each other.

It's generally agreed that a 50/50 bandwagon is pretty much the ideal situation for mafia. Actually when the town all agrees on one player that is the scummiest and tunnels them leaving no wiggle room, that is the worst scenario for mafia because assuming town was correct they have no way out of it.

Vain is definitely being antagonistic and the fact that he slipped under the radar for such bad posting isn't a good sign.

People seem to be complaining that we're still talking about Gollum or the ring or whatever but most of the discussion on the last few pages is about a lynch so stop complaining. I'm keeping my vote on WBG until I make up my mind. Vain, Drazerk, prplhz are all people I'm looking at.


stuff like this, it's the wiggle room we want 'cause that's when people really have to talk about stuff, even if we're lynching a scum i think 51/49 is better than 100/0 and drh should probably think so too unless he's a crazyman

i'm fine with wbg and cyriandor and syllogism, good questions and wbg is not worth the attention he's getting right now, let him troll around and then maybe a vig can shoot him at some point or whatever

Greymist straight up asking for the ring day 1 doesn't bode well for him.

##Vote Greymist

I don't think our mod would hand the ring off to an evil player day 1. It's probably with a Frodo , Bilbo, or Gollum if we have any of those roles. So we know Greymist either has a protown power that is greatly amplified by the one ring, or is part of a neutral/evil faction that needs the ring for some reason.

And Chaoser is right. We can't spend this whole game talking about roles. Scumhunting is #1.


voting greymist because he asked for ring on day1 .. asking for ring is pretty silly but the vote doesn't accomplish anything as i really doubt anybody will feel pressured by a couple of votes this early in the voting cycle with that bad of a reasonable

TranceStorm has a bad plan. Big deal, hopefully he can be made to see the problem with it. The main problem is that this game is not about confirming townies using mechanics we don't understand the goal is to find and catch scum.

Wherebugsgo I don't know your metagame but here's what I see.

1. begging for the ring in every post
2. vague allusions to why you want it
3. voting for TranceStorm and FOSing him with no reasons.

You're playing absolutely detrimental to town. This is not pro-town play, it is not how we catch scum. It's how shit gets stirred and people always let bad scum like this slide (coag in countless games) because they figure "oh no way scum would act so brashly or bad".

##Vote wherebugsgo

At the very least, if you aren't scum, you are a stellar example of how town players should never act


as you say, wbh is bad-townie not scum. you don't waste a lynch on a dude because he's a bad townie, you threaten with vigihits or hope he gets mafia killed or his mom takes his internet away. as pressure it makes little sense as he was already posting his ass off.

(... blah blah blah...)

Honestly on Day 1 I'd be more content lynching a pretty sure SK/Third Party player than some gut scum read that is probably wrong and end up killing some VT or power role that is actually helping us. As far as your posting all you are is an annoyance and a distraction.


is he scum acting as bad townie or is he SK? anyway, you are saying that we should all vote for this guy because he's 3rd party, instead of lynching someone who might be scum just because we can't be sure? this is a terrible idea, you lynch scum and 3rd party is left until a vigilante shoots them or until you have a scumtell on them. and you can never be sure that someone is scum, it will always be analysis and gut feelings and you're not encouraging that right now.

on the whole multiple candidates v all votes on single target, i'm pretty sure it's always better if there are multiple candidates and i can't believe you're actually trying to argue that that's not the case. your argument is that 100% votes on a target who is 100% scum is best, but you will never be 100% sure that someone is scum, is that what you want to wait around for?

I've decided you're a clown and I'm not wasting anymore discussion talking to you about this. Come up with something good enough to reply to and I'll think about it. You're just noise.


i really don't think you're trying to promote a good environment for scum hunting by saying that someone is a clown and noise.

If we don't have a viable serious scum target then I'd be fine getting rid of a detrimental player who is probably a third party SK. Better than hitting town.

However, let's knock off the "he's too bad to be scum" nonsense. I've seen worse from mafia players in the past. being bad doesn't clear you.


again, you'd rather just lynch wbg than trying to scumhunt and you want a guy who is 100% scum. well do you think we're gonna get that by just all voting for wbg and then calling it a day? scum wants 3rd party dead too i think, gollum wasn't exactly on sauron's side.

all in all i think drh is playing pretty weird compared to what i have seen from other people who are supposedly good at this game and i think he is promoting agendas that aren't good for town and if he's that smart he'd know that. the guy is scummier than the other dudes, 'cause none of them were really that scummy after all.

People are saying that they don't expect to hit scum today. This is true. From a purely mathematical basis, chances are against the town. Now add in null tells, bad reads, and mistells, and our chances aren't really better. But for the most part, people aren't voting randomly. They are offering analysis and reasoning (for the most part) behind their votes. If this post was an attempt by you to shell some people off of voting for you, I'll say you failed hard. It's had the opposite effect on me.

Please share some REASONS behind your suspicions of drh, navi, and jackal. Give us a REASON to believe you other than saying "I like them for lynches".

Also, @WBG, you posted exactly what I wanted to say about Archon. It was a post that made me jackiechanwtf.jpg IRL. Archon and Py both only start posting when they are called out for inactivity? AND the posts are not entirely useful (much less useful from archon). Come on guys. Don't make us beg for your activity. Lurkers always seem scummy. If you want to play with the town, you actually have to play.


but you can hit scum on day1, you sholdn't just give up because of math. if you want to wait until the math is good then we'll have to wait until they outnumber us. lynching wbg because he's 3rd party is pretty stupid, we should hunt for scum instead. i already shared reasons for my vote on drh and i'm quite sure other people wrote pieces on nav and jack which i'm not gonna parrot.

and then you are all like "lol someone was inactive and then active totally scummy" not really would you rather they shut their mouth and you could just go through with a 3rd party bandwagon? this is not creating a scumhunting environment.

i'd kinda like palmar to say something because he's from iceland and that is indubitably the northernmost location of all participants of this game.

also i'd like jack to do some scumhunting 'cause he's apparently also a veteran of sort. since this drh thing is going nowhere i'm gonna switch to jack

##Vote: Jackal58

on jack's most recent post, there is a third option with wbg, leave him be and see if he starts acting like a normal human being, maybe he's just frustrated with being VT for the 10th time in a row, maybe his mom just told him he had to clean his room, there are plenty of reasons for posting silly shit but lynching a guy solely because he's 3rd party is totally scum agenda. also, i'm not a big fan of your idea of giving the ring to random people and i'm pretty sure any townie with a brain wouldn't do that.

@chaoser

you accusations? i filtered you and searched for prplhz and you have only accused me of talking about mechanics (and i did, how would you like me to refute that?) and then you accused me of not posting enough, though i think there are people who have posted less than me.

yea it doesn't make sense for scum to scumhunt, and that's how you scumhunt, you force them to help you as any townie would do and then see how they fare. i'm saying i think that jack is scum and that's why i'm voting him but i'm very open to the possibility that he isn't, but he'll just have to prove that.

also jack has 3 votes with mine which puts him in top3 of votes along with me and wbg .. i think you're being overzealous, your original reasonable for voting me wasn't too great and now you're just mindlessly following up, while agreeing with me that voting wbg because he's scum is defeatist, as i've said for this entire game.

in case i didn't make it clear i thought that drh could do better and he was acting weird, that's why i voted him first. when that didn't catch on too well i switched to jack, another person who i thought should be doing a lot better. think it's too late for me to move my vote so i doubt i'm gonna do that.

i have attacked just about 1 guy and only said that 3 people were scummy, i'm sure you can find other people who have thrown more accusations around 'cause that's not really too bad. i think most of all this voting me is because cyriander suddenly came out of nowhere and said i was a good guy and apparently i'm his pal or something, but you should really be questioning him instead 'cause that's very weird day1 after a couple of posts from me that i agree could be interpreted as scummy ... but this is too late and something that can be done tomorrow. i think people should switch their votes to wbg me and jack.

i also want to tell sandroba and palmar that i have the eru-iluvatar-given ability to instantly kill them at my will if they don't start posting.

i think jack is scummy so i want him to post. the more posts with content, the more you can tune in on his alignment. i'd probably rather lynch drh over jack. i don't really see why you are voting for me, there's not a single reason in your post, this makes it hard to defend myself and i'm starting to feel the heat for some reason.

i voted for jackal because he is a dude who is supposed to be doing a lot better than he is right now. i think town isn't doing too great and i kinda miss some vocal veteran who can try to get something cool going 'cause i'm not doing a very good job even though i tried with the drh lynch. jack is a dude who can do this but he's just sitting there and watching everything burn, wbg and some other's were up for lynching but i didn't find them very likely to be scum. also it doesn't make too much sense to pressure vote a guy who talks insanity (wbg) 'cause he's already talking and he's not making sense. wbg is clearly better to keep in this game than jackal, 'cause we have plenty of vets who aren't saying much but we only have one crazy ring hungry guy. jack needs to say something and he needs to do something good for town 'cause i know he's able to do this.

@ON
are you insane? no i don't have the ability to kill two random players instantly if they don't post enough for my liking, what the fuck?
