We lynch Ace first.

Everybody may be joking about lynching Ace, but his posts have been silly oneliners. If that is his plan for this game, I am not opposed to flushing him straight into space. It will get rid of one non-contributing player, and in addition be hilarious!

The thing is that in that game, you DID care about being a vet and you abused it.

GM, as annoying as sand is being right now, I think ET seems the scummiest right now, so I would kill him, but it is really difficult to have an accurate read yet.

1. How do we verify that whoever does the randomizing actually makes it random?

2. Isn't choosing sandroba:
a) Just as good because he's been randomly assigned to either scum or town and
b) Better because we know that he is good as town and bad as scum and so far is about as active as we could expect a town sandroba to be?

@tailsmaina-

I like the idea of posting PMs to be able to track who is talking to who. Currently the only person who has PM'ed me is Acrofales- and it was to inquire as to why I thought Sandroba was suspicious. I responded that I didn't like his role fishing.

As for candidates, lets try to get a list together and get some commitement out of people!

So far, I'm leaning Gmarshal. I like the points he has brought up regarding captain transparency, and I feel that his confident posting style indicatenes townie-ness so far. I'm also distrustful of circles, confirmations, and plans revolving around anything other than finding and killing scum in general, and thus do not wish to vote for sandroba. This could change depending on what cases are put forth for the lynch -- the day 1 lynch being the only captain power we know of so far, I want to pick whoever will use it the best.

honestly I wouldnt have a problem lynching ace because he has already pretty much stepped directly into the role of his douchbag scum meta straight from the get go



He just casually aknowledges that he cant be bothered to fucking pay attention and stamps it with his own official stamp of im ace so IM acety ace if aced im ace than ace is IM ace always ace Me ACE.

Looking at your filter..........

you call out gmarsh as scum THEN YOU Vote him in same post??
you dont even vote him in vote thread?
Random vote on Froggynoddy with no explenation instead.
than you change it back to Gmarsh randomly...
because he "seems townie"

after all that can you give us a little bit more information on why you decided to vote gmarsh other than "seems townie"

Ok guys, sorry I'm checking in a bit late, my day was a bit longer than expected. Initial thoughts:

Re: Capt. Keeping secrets. If the captain is Town, he should make a judgment call as to whether or not revealing something is beneficial to town- we should not make an arbitrary policy of openness and force him to follow it if he decides it benefits the town to keep something a secret. If the captain is scum, he will lie regardless. So I am against forcing the captain to reveal everything.

Re: Day 1 lynch target. TL Mafia players have shown themselves to be pretty bad overall at hitting scum on day 1. Part of the reason is that scum activly encourage stupid cases, such as “tone seems scummy in intro post”. For that reason, I put zero faith in the town voting on day 1 lynch and asking the captain to follow the towns vote.

Re: Sandroba is blue fishing. only a select few people for some reason. I have no reason to trust him. I hope no one else is giving him blue info. I also don't know why he was limited in scope. And as Im reading, /le sigh that he claims people have responded to him. How are you scrubs so fickle with your trust?

If our choice is between GM and Sandroba, someone made a good point that GM might be a better pick as Sandroba already has a lot of consolidated info since you brilliant folks gave him roles on day 1. It would be too powerful if he does happen to be scum with this info AND is captain.

guna read thread again tonight.

Since Mayors have a tendency to end up getting lynched aren't scum likely to leave the mayor alone at night as the captain mayor is a big fat target for a potential mislynch?

So by that logic a town mayor with information is a good thing because it forces scum to kill a townie that will we almost certainly kill a later date anyway.

Also michaelthe, i think that TL town's actually have an okay rate for killing mafia day 1. They still kill town most of the time but the percentages are much better than random lynching would give. I am sure i remember reading an argument about this but i can't find it. Also whether or not you have faith in town's ability to find scum you shouldn't discourage players from trying to provide content b telling them that their efforts will be for nothing since their efforts allow you to make reads.

froggynoddy This guy has the strongest case against him tight now, he has a couple tell tale signs that point him out as newbie scum

Two things in this post
1.) Apologizing for something that needs no apology. This is a sign of a guilty conscience much like what gave up Misder in Ver's XXX analysis. I did this all the time as the mole in PYP:Interesting, and Radfeild caught me out on it, so I'm always attentively looking for this kind of unnecessary apology.

2.) His issue with me trusting sandroba. This is typical of scum trying to subvert trust. "Why would you trust him OMG!" is the typical scum response to fast, uncontrollable circles of trust forming, and is basically how they express frustration while trying to discredit them in the thread.

Again, we see him actively discrediting town reads, which are actually vitally important in PM games as well as an excellent tool for weeding out scum.

GMarshal also has a plan that is too good for the public to know about. I'm guessing between him and sandroba they've got some insanely good abilities to just squad up so quickly in the game. He also was wrong in assuming that froggy was discrediting Town reads. In fact...that doesn't even make any sense. Very fishy.
