or for personal amusement or to find out why WTF I was doing today...
The
Kenpachi Incident.
Axle: Well Skip, this is fine game of mafia, seen any funny peculiar smelly stuff?
Skip: Woof!
Axle: so you fetch the sticks I will examine them.
Skip: fetchFor the sake of those that are not familiar with the standard a pattern, after perhaps little policy warm up, the 'players' start some argy bargy.
+ Show Spoiler [argy bargy] +Skip:
Stick: Cheese votesAh yes, Cheese did a just for LOLs vote on risk.nuke because he had some small cause, absence from thread having posted ... in the first few mins then dropped out for 90 mins or so.
Skip:
Stick: active delurkerrisk responds in 3 mins, just happened to be there?
Risk is not (in my view phased at all)... Later
Skip:
here he says"Cheesecakes early vote on me was a pressure-vote. It was completely fine,..."
Having got someone new to talk to Cheescake gets on with the game
Skip:
Cheese not think hi vote is a big deal...Not to be outdone RoL votes VE (for being bad not for being scum?) (aka BS)
Skip:
Votes VE for BSVE and Rol swap some BS, and feigned? offence... (dont know how close to the bone this game cuts yet)
And then the wheels supposedly fall off.
At 9:18 risk posts a reply he probably been writing since about 8:52
Skip:
Policy statements by riskNow question you have to ask your self, is if Risk is scum just how pressured does he feel at the moment?
Does it make sense that he rashly grabs at just anything because "OMG they're onto me?"
1 minute later.
he posts this...
Skip:
RoL got kenpachied? do you think he was really hoping someone was going to ride, the idea that anyone who votes for anyone who says they are towny is scum?
Could it be that he just likes knowing about the rule?
besides what actually does he say the Rule is?
Skip:
The rule"Kenpachi claims vanilla townie and the first person to contest it is mafia."
and for me here is one rub, Kenpachi is not in the game...!
not only is Kenpachi not in the game, but VE claimed town, not VT?
When kenpachi claimed VT, thats a much bigger WTF play that might well garner some scum pressure
looking for the first silly play they can find... The two situations to me bear almost no similarity... so far...
I hate to go all ACE and 3rd grade reading skills ....
exactly how serious, does anyone who can read, think what a such ridiculously BS claim is?
BTW (I am dead serious, AFTER the game feel free anyone who knows better to tell me what the F this was all about if it was not just all bullshit.)
So VE asks....
Ah I see. So does this make RoL scum to you?Well as the conditions of the trap were not met, its an obvious no?
As best I can tell, what risk did wrong, was when Risk made his push on VE he couldn't back it up at all. Thus unlike cheeses vote, which had some basis in fact... Risk was lurking...
Risk pushed without a plan what to do if the pushee pushed back... AKA not being serious, not really trying, yeah its bit thin... but are scum actually that willy nilly?
However, even though VEs vote puts risk at 2 votes which is more pressure, and we could wait and see what happens, with that much pressure. Why is two votes a good idea? Well when he had one vote, he was basically laughing it off.
RoL however jumps on with the 3rd vote...
My problem with that move... is there is for me such discontinuity between the pressure of 1 vote and being at L-2
that i have no serious idea, whether Risk subsequent messes as he tries to back out of it badly... remembering the spontaneous 1 min knee jerk way he got into the mess, its not surprising to me there was no exit strategy. because yes even as town after you push one player you may need to then go push another hence an exit strategy if you find your pressure is no longer required as you got he feedback to soothe that itchy feeling. (Syl posting when Syl got home from work)
About the towniest thing I saw he did for a while, was, first try then ignore it and go to bed.
So yeah, the Kenpachi thing was ill advised, and spontaneous, that therewere in fact logical ways to say no it was just for Lols look it doesn't even fit this situation... but that wasnt said? basically it feels a lot like a face palm play.
Shit happens....
However.... did scum try to capitalise on that?
Well basically Cheese got stuck under a bigger push... (or just was RL asleep/work?)
VE presented this argument

I had a similar thought regarding risk.nuke. Why bring up the Kenpachi Rule at all if he had no intention of following it? My thoughts brought me to "He's scummy". He's either:
1) Scum trying to incriminate RoL innocuously by "joking" about Kenpachi Rule.
2) Town trying to trap someone into agreeing with his assessment and voting RoL.
I ruled out 2 by asking him if he thought RoL was scum because of it, and he doesn't, which leaves 1).
##Vote: risk.nuke
Conversely I'm very null on RoL. Abhorring my play-style is very NOT alignment indicative for that guy.
Um err what? VE presents two options Risk is "the pope" or "hes scum" proves he not the pope therefore he is scum?
Now that exaggerates the problem a lot but NO VE, that is known as false dichotomy?
yes VE (may!!!) have ruled out 2, but no that does not only leave option 1...
BTW how would presenting case you really support that someone is scum
trap someone into agreeing with it at all.
I agree its shitty trap that would never have done anything...
if some reader knew what the trap was... See here Risk says he thought more people knew about it....
http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewpost.php?post_id=18179647People are asking me about the Kenpachi rule, I actually thought more people knew about it. Ghor, It was discussed in a post game I played one or two years ago, I don't think there were statistics but I remember people praised it's accuracy
(before it got outed) Do note how the trap worked before it got outed, in other words it was tell that required the trapee to not know what the trap was... if more people knew about it then its no longer applicable?
The intriguing thing about this whole business is, what exactly was the Kenpachi trap? Well Kenpachi did something to make himself Lynch bait, and then waited for a fish to bite...
people looking for easy BS lynches were
more likely to take the bait... aka scum go for the low hanging fruit.
Oh ... I see said the blind man...
There were indeed some people doing things that were ever so slightly scummy in that they could have been easily mistaken as riding some easy mislynch into the ground. BTW ta.
So what does all this mean?
Well while there is in fact some scumminess in risk being lackadaisical in how he pushed and made a fluff of it,
I think scum sometimes are more lase fair in their approach to the game... although some scum play more serious so WTF knows anyway its at least an oddly weak play by risk... but lynch worthy that early? No just a convenient place to park.
So what does all this mean?
Well after we Lynch the first two Scum we should then Lynch
Kenpachi Intent to Lynch kenpachi! TLDR; Hes been shitting up the thread enormously. Obvious scum is obvious. Well just as soon as I can find him...
