I think for sure, no matter what base paint is not going to win the game. So to assure town victory, base should expose themselves and let us kill them.

i openly don't know how to scumhunt effectively in this setup since town also wanted to protect their teammates and kill opponents D1 (usually, we look for such behavior as a hallmark of scum)

a buncha people seem to want to kill me for this

that's my summary

Fancy tunneled me early, which seems more likely to be town imo


Obama, shark, and Foo are all insisting that people should "hunt scum" without actually engaging with the most pressing conversation here, which is how to hunt scum in this setup

Scum post, no conviction, wishywashy
“What do people think” shwiff what do you think

already answered this, yes i have no conviction, share the basis of your convictions, who you think is scum, and why


ObamaAkbar. posted:

schwinn using the setup to try and avoid scumhunting seems like a poor excuse.

who is scum and why? this is a wishy washy post seeming to imply that obama has insights into how to hunt scum in this game while in fact just following a train onto me (without a vote, no less)

okay gently caress ya'll i don't need your help i've figured it out, the way to hunt scum in this game is to find people who seem to imply that there's an obvious method to scumhunting in this setup where standard methods clearly don't work without actually offering any concrete reads based on transparent methods

obama is scum

man relax, it's only been a couple hours since i made that post and ive barely had any time to post at all since then

i agree that the proper method of scumhunting is non-obvious in this game. but my primary reason for making that post is to head off people saying 'well i don't want to vote anyone in MY masonry, they're on my team. and also i think we should just vote the base masonry hurr'

the fact that people are still saying that kind of proves that the point was warranted

sharkmafia
Aug 20, 2018

As far as scumhunting goes, i agree with afqm that some amount of the scummy actions are going to be internal in the mason docs that can't be seen by the entire town

the best way to head this off is to be as open as possible when scumhunting your own teammates. that means giving the context, in the thread, for why you think they're scummy based on something they did out of thread. we should use the mason docs as little as possible for the purposes of scumhunting

sharkmafia
Aug 20, 2018

Also I'm of the opinion that anyone who is still pushing the 'we should eliminate the base masonry' thing looks worse. that's somberbrero and dans macabre currently

although if i had to pick one i'd say i'd pick the one that's framing it as a noncommittal question rather than 'well i dont want to vote anyone who's in my mason doc!" which is somberbrero

Somberbrero posted:

right, but afqm, we're pretty sure there's at least a scum in each masonry, right? so if we smash base, we're going to hit scum too and accomplish both objectives. what am i missing?

Right now, scum has no incentive to push any of the base paints because it narrows down the possibility of a scum being caught there by a significant margin so well I don't think the base paints should reveal themselves, I think they should be aware if people are sidestepping their content

Anyway, cube totally revealed themselves in the masonry, right? Lol

We have 13 people. And I know for sure only one of them is town (me). So I want to kill one scum today, out of the 12 remaining.

If I limit my scope to BASE masonry, I have 33% chance of hitting scum. If I look at all of you, I have 8% chance.

If I can make those numbers better by end of day great but otherwise I think focusing on BASE is the way to go.

i do honestly think people are overthinking this set up. why not ignore the masonry aspect for now and just look for people doing anti-town things or posting weird suspicious poo poo like we usually do.

i can see scum using the setup as a crutch to avoid faking any scum hunting, it's one of the reasons i was so suspicious of schwinn before.

i doubt base are going to offer themselves up though given this sentiment. unless the other masonries out themselves (very bad idea)

Are you seriously suggesting we just kill the entire base paint masonry to find the scum within? Scum post
