Yeah, that seems like a recipe for sadness. Last game I was in had a role that let the scum punch through protections. Even if everything went well it seems like we'd just be setting ourselves up for heartache.

in reality what somberbrero is suggesting is bad for town because

a) it forces town to come to consensus for yet-another-vote
b) it gives scum much more direction
c) it endangers the most trustworthy people in the town when they hold all that money

D) And the whole thing may be moot anyway, since depending on the stock and pricing of the store items, it is possible there really won't be a worthwhile amount of money leftover at the end of a day.

I'm feeling like this is being built up way more than it has any potential of fulfilling as a mechanic. Prove me wrong DBD! :)

I think somber is the opposite of scum. Gunning early for Hal and then turning around to continue truly arguing the benefits of attempting to break the game for town are very townie things indeed.

If you have a strong town read on someone, and they are around to buy something right now from the shop before it closes, then I say go for it.

Also, I'm super confused at the argument on the table. Am I understanding this right?

YPM says: Money disappearing > Scum getting money

Somber says: We don't have enough info to know that to be true

Is that really it? Because if so, I'm super confused about in what world that would NOT be the case. Like I'm having problems even coming up with a theoretical where scum getting money could be better than it disappearing. I guess if there were booby trap items? But all we heard about was duds, not actual downsides.

Seriously. I was trying to let at least a few real life days pass before I started my normal lurker crusade, and here we are. This is Tearshed's only post in the thread since the game started:

tearshed posted:

Confirmed

One word. The last game I played also had Tearshed in it, I voted him for scummy lurking like this, and he flipped scum. This time it is so over the top extreme that either he is king scum of all time or he died in real life. I hope it is the first one.

I can't help it. I'm biased against lurkers. Why would you sign up for a game like this and not participate? What is the point? I hate getting near the end and having a bunch of people that it is impossible to read in any real way because they never post anything relevant.

Little less than 2 days left, still lots of time left but we are in the home stretch!

So those two votes on Bowmore were both supposed to be on Opop. Theoretically, Opop is in the lead right now with 4 votes if that is ever fixed. DHD and Taste should probably try re-voting.

For meta reasons, I'm willing to consider Opop. Honestly, his posting seems nice and helpful and present in this game and if this was the first game I'd been in with him I'd think he was town. But I've been in a couple of games with him now and this is actually out of the norm. Normally he is unhelpful, lurky, etc. So something is making him post differently then normal. I don't think he is any less busy given his dropping of one of his planned games. :shrug:

My number one lurker target Tearshed has been replaced by PinMom. Are you scum PinMom? :)

Next lurker on my list is Bowmore. I hounded him in the X-men game for his unhelpful posting and he turned out to be town. Given his RL excuses in the thread I guess I'm willing to give him the benefit of the doubt for the moment, but I'd really like to see some something meaty when he gets in front of a real computer tomorrow. If his current posting continues as it is though, I'd be willing to vote for him before the end of day 1.

On the other vote leaders, I'm still feeling like Ernie is seeming towny other than that one brief combo of posts I found unusual. When he was scum in another game I was in with him he seemed far less helpful. It feels like he is trying to find things in this game. Taste I have no idea on. He's fooled me before and he certainly isn't doing anything helpful for town in this game. I guess I'd lean scum on him. On Mills, although he is doing some unhelpful gimicky thing with his posting, he has at least stated his reasons for voting how he is and although I don't agree with them, they seem reasonable. I guess I'm leaning town there for now.

Magnus said Ernie was town based on two posts he quoted without expanding at all on why he thought those posts made Ernie town. YPM called him out on it and he still hasn't responded. I think Magnus is scum faking content. Go take a look and then come back and vote him, it's like two pages ago.

I find his not coming back to respond to be a bit scummy, in the same way I find all people without as much time to invest in internet games to be scummy. But the post itself seems ok to me. It probably helps that I kind of agree with him. I wouldn't have used those particular posts of Ernie's, nor would I have posted them without explanation, but I'm leaning town on Ernie.

If Magnus hasn't come back and made a good showing before the end of the day, I guess I'll reconsider.

Can you show me the super town things he's said? I feel like all I've seen him do is hop around his votes with little reason and post his gimmick stuff.
