Why did you post that?

sandnavyguy posted:

Steak we are not at lylo. That is an argument once we get past at least what, D3?

GenericGirlName posted:

I don’t like this post. And it’s not the survivor part, it’s the “why are you considering the impact of lurkers at lylo? We’re no where near lylo!”

Surely lurkers are a threat that everyone wants handled as early as possible because they get harder and harder to remove later.

GenericGirlName posted:

What value is there in either of those scenarios to keeping that player around until it is late enough in the game that we are choosing between disposing of them or someone that we have strong scum cases on?

If we cannot be confident (either due to lack of posting or due to lack of reads on them as town aligned) that that player will be a beneficial member of town at lylo, why is it not valid to discuss removing them before we are in a lylo state?

Please respond to the actual question I asked you.

ok so why did you shoot someone with no case on them whatsoever?

Bif was attacking them tbh I think it makes sense not from a townie perspective but from a personal (SNG) perspective

I also thought Bif would flip scum so I didn’t see anything wrong with it tbh

Excuse me? Take a look at vote finder. Also, take a look at your own posts, and bif’s posts from early D1. Compared to hum the case was iron-fricking clad, and I gave my own opinion on the drat list I posted after being called out for lurking.

Which is EXACTLY why I didn’t wanna shoot yesterday. But had I not tried to give us more time, they STILL would be my choice, just 20 hours ago.

the tragedy here is sng is probably town.

there is no way, in a hypothetical sng and i scum team universe, would i let sng gun anyone at this stage and especially not a prolific poster. he might cop a vote or two for holding out till end of day, but at least holding to that principle would be easier to defend against than what has transpired.

Some teeth long for ripping, gleaming wet from black dog gums. So you keep your eyes closed at the end. You don't want to see such a mouth up close. before the bite, before its oblivion in the goring of your soft parts, the speckled lips will curl back in a whinny of excitement. You just know it.
Okay, that escalated. I should make my opinion known, so: I don't actually think SNG's scum.

My read before the shot was that he was playing scared; jumping at his own shadow, qualifying every opinion, wanting the town to take the decision of who to shoot out of his hands. And I totally get why that came off scummy, not wanting to make definitive cases so you always have an out is a scumtell. But to me it read as fear from being the only power in an otherwise VT game. With the bif shot... that was anger, obviously. Bif got under his skin and maaaaaybe it's unwise to provoke the dude with the gun.

So what I see is a guy who was scared, caught heat for it, and got frustrated so he (literally!) popped off. And what I keep thinking is, wouldn't scum have just talked it over with their buddies? Blown off steam and come up with a plan to regroup? SNG's playing like a dude who's all alone and doesn't like it very much. This looks like a town meltdown to me.

Sure, but it’s plausible that a given bad shot might be viewed as more forgivable in the eyes of sympathetic, misguided town when it’s borne out of frustration

I did? Did you even read my posts?

quote="sandnavyguy" post="506725323"]
Because eliminating a player unlikely to be scum is antithetical to being useful. If they are complete dead weight and don’t vote or anything they allow the game to be weighted in towns favor. It’s a possible NK that doesn’t harm towns planning team (though it’s unlikely they’ll do that it still is an option.), an extra body keeps the majority vote high which requires more town to be on board with the lunch if we begin paring the number down helping prevent a scum rush led turbo, and in a game with multiple vigs, gives additional time to figure out which vote leader to lunch and which to flip early.

Eliminating them just wastes a vig.
[/quote]

But if you mean to focus on the last part of your question, leaving them on is a mute abstaining vote. Inherently it shrinks scum in comparison to the non scum majority. Like I already said.

After we have at least on flip based on votes. Then, we can look at it in terms of “this person is t getting replaced” and also, I haven’t mentioned this yet but uh, there’s a post limit right? They’d be a free mod kill by that point. why waste bullets?
