I don't usually make plans to find scum. I'm more about reads (weighing up posts and determining whether they seem to come from a town win condition) than about strategy. I read the game posts and something eventually strikes me as scummy, and off I go. Speaking of off I go, I'm about to hit the freeway. Will check back in when I'm home and settled. | ||

Lynching a lurker D1 is almost always a townie, especially in a newbie game. Saying that your votes on lurkers will be pressure votes, and telling them what they need to do for you to ease off pretty much neutralizes any pressure you might otherwise be able to muster. | ||

I'm really not seeing the gain for scum (or sk) in drawing early attention, pushing for reactions, etc. On the other hand, pushing players for reactions is something town players should want to do. In a regular game I'd be looking around to see who stopped posting when the brouhaha started. In a newbie game, not so much. Scum players sometimes feel uncertain when the game thread suddenly takes off or changes direction, and wait to see where town players go with things before jumping back in. | ||

And I see trepidation about how serious early votes are, which looks pretty newb to me. Everybody in the game could vote the same player in this next hour and it might not mean a thing in terms of who eventually gets lynched. iVLosK! is provoking lots of reactions and that is good. It gives other players stuff to think about and analyze about every player involved, not just iVLosK!. | ||

Though sometimes, a little pressure has it's uses.  Indeed. My motivations usually speak for themselves, whatever my alignment. It works out pretty well when I'm town. | ||

It wouldn't have taken much to settle the at the beginning minor accusation. If he did diffuse it, town could be doing OTHER productive things. I wish he'd diffused it, I really do. I think everyone else getting involved in the discussion around iV is town except for iV, who hasn't actually given me a fucking reason to think he's town. If he'd diffused it, then I probably wouldn't have any town reads in my hip pocket right now. And I'd be suspicious as fuck of him for trying to smooth things over. | ||
