Game's over, and fuck you Jimson. It's not my fault that you guys couldn't get your shit together by deadline. No one gets access to docs because I don't fucking care anymore, I hope you all enjoyed ruining my game, and there won't be another.

It's not really a scum claim though, it's a jokephase response to a synx gambit type question. I thought that was what Asiina was going for because it came right on the heels of me asking flerp if he was scum. I guess I should have just autovoted flerp because he didn't answer the question 'correctly'.

You could have just not been an idiot who ruins discussion?

http://mafiawiki.notesmash.org/wiki/Synx_Gambit

The Synx gambit is some awful thing that Synx invented which never works. Basically the idea is that scum will act awkwardly when asked to make a post stating "I am scum". While most scum will post this sentence, it is their reaction afterwards which is telling of alignment. Or rather, not telling of alignment. Because it's a stupid thing that never works.
For obvious reasons this gambit is pretty easily foiled, so no one really uses it seriously. Also, like many things called a "gambit", it is not actually a gambit.
(I'm just saying.)

The important thing to remember here is that we are literally at TMM's mercy here. Any discussion we have going forward is going to be painted irrevocably by his scum claim in d1. So even if we lynch him and he flips scum, everyone doing the right thing and performing their civic duty with a policy lynch is all of a sudden a scum suspect. If we don't lynch him we are forced to constantly wonder if he is scum and this was his plan the whole time.

This is probably the best option. At least I'm playing the game.

I think we should probably lynch one of Hiip/Retro/SSV. All three of them have less posts than PBS who replaced out of the game.

I assume you meant flips town, but I agree and is exactly why I said none of the votes on him are bad. Voting someone who is scumclaiming is such a solid reason that I'm not going to find empty votes for it suspicious. I'll be more suspicious of people who are voting while hedging, since there's no reason to hedge on a scumclaim vote. I don't see anyone doing that here, so no suspicious votes.

I'd vote TMM because d1 scum claims are stupid bad.BK looks like he knows TMM isn't scum tho or worse is covering for his scumbro doing weird things...

I need to go see when TMM scum claimed

No, I don't. I objectively don't. TMM could be pizza-aligned, all I know is that jumping on this dumb non-starter is moronic.

You and Apocron pretending out of thin air that I'm defending TMM and know he isn't scum is weird. The best credit I can give these TMM votes (and votes like it) are that they are trying to discourage future D1 behavior where people say they're scum, but people make jokes like this regularly and they present no bearing on alignment. So, instead, I'm voting based on something that has helped me actually determine someone's alignment and people should vote with me.

Also that's a good point about how yes, TMM could absolutely be scum who posted "I am scum." in jokephase of this game. But that's a lovely case and it always will be. I would've been just as bewildered by that case in my game.

Alright with just a few hours left in the day, I'm going to ##vote SSV

He has all of three posts and hasn't posted at all since the 5th. That isn't going to cut it in a small game.

I don't really think Asiina is scum, I'm a little leary of Apocorn but at least he's posting and I've giving him a slight new player bias. I'd vote Jimson because I think he was the scummiest vote on me. The lover claim gives me a little pause, but flerp/Jimson always claim it. Either way, both of them are actually playing the game. BK is a little scummy, but again he's playing the game. Glitch has also been posting and Kash is Kash.

I'd also be willing to switch to either Retro or Hiip (in that order) because lurkers are going to hurt this game. With 11 people to start, three people is 25% of the game and that percentage just gets bigger with every kill. Especially since games of this size only last about 3 days, assuming perfect kills.

I do like content. I am usually active in the games I play whether town or scum, although I do tend to lurk more as scum. You can't count on scum to kill the lurkers because sometimes they want to slow the game down and will take out the higher post count people.

If this was a bigger game, I'd probably be willing to give them a day to see what happens. But this game is so small that there's just no reason to take the chance with lurkers.

What is this all about? SSV is in the game. He's just not posting. We, as a group, have a way to solve that problem without needing the mod to find a replacement.

Voting out the lurkers is acceptable play. Especially in a game this small.

Just seems like a waste of a day for me because we can't really see how they acted, how other people reacted, why people voted for them etc. But it's ok man. Protect ya neck.

Or they stop lurking or they get mod killed. Either way the situation is solved without wasting a day. If they never post and we have to waste a day killing them later then I think that's on the mod.
