I contributed 8 as well, one of these three is scum.

Because that's what I had and 5 was pretty good judging by the rest of my scores. I figured it was worth volunteering and contributing that.

This is weak. I find it hard to believe 5 was your highest number and even if it was that you would feel confident enough on the first challenge to submit just 5 on a target of 27.

He'd be confident in putting in 5 if he knew a scum mate was going to put in 8

That's dumb, scum wouldn't want the challenge to succeed anyway.

5 was just shy of being 1/4th of the total needed, I figured people who snap volunteered could contribute more than 5 (because I know what my highest point value is and I figured people immediately jumping would be on the upper end of the spectrum and could carry a bit).

You can call it weak if you want, I don't think it was a weak play at all. What did you expect to see?

Firstly, 5 is nowhere near 1/4 of 27. Now you saying that you assumed people could contribute enough to make up for it doesn't vibe with this at all.

If you had an 8/9, which is what you'd need to have to think you could get away with submitting 5, then you wouldn't think of 5 as 'pretty good'.

Kerro posted:

I could kinda see a merk/Rarity gambit, but for now it seems more likely to treat it as the more probable situation that they're both town who were able to contribute.

I cannot come up with a convincing narrative for contributing only 5 as a town player - it seems to make a hell of a lot more sense as a scum play. I'm kinda not comfortable with how quickly everyone's jumped on Rascyc though when Magnus only contributed one more and had volunteered earlier.

Ras has been on alert from the moment I first said one of the other three was scum. His explanation for his contribution is weak and contradictory. While I think Magnus's contribution is also pretty lame, his reasoning that it would give him insight into other players sounds more reasonable and it's a move I can easily see him making.

I'm not going to reveal all my scores to you, sorry. I think my previous answer speaks enough for what I was going for here.

I didn't ask you to reveal your scores and I'm not sure why you think that I was. I was pointing out the most logical thought processes arising from whatever your possible scores are.

This is basically asking me to corroborate my highest scores.

Not even close. There are two possibilities:

1) Your highest score is 8 or 9 so you think it's ok to volunteer with 5. In that case you wouldn't think 5 was 'pretty good'.

2) Your highest score is 7 or less in which case 5 is pretty good but you wouldn't want to risk submitting it for a total of 27 from 4 people.

Whatever your highest score is, your stated thought processes don't follow a logical town reasoning.

Ni siquiera cerca . Hay dos posibilidades:

1 ) Tu puntaje m�s alto es 8 o 9 por lo que creo que est� bien para ser voluntario con 5. En ese caso, usted no pensar�a 5 era ' bastante bueno ' .

2 ) Su puntuaci�n m�s alta es 7 o menos , en cuyo caso 5 es bastante bueno, pero no querr�a arriesgarse a enviarlo para un total de 27 a partir de 4 personas.

Sea cual sea su puntuaci�n m�s alta es , sus procesos de pensamiento establecidos no siguen un razonamiento l�gico de la ciudad.

I just realized what you did. That's a pretty lovely / game-breaking way to confirm me as Town.

You should probably restart this setup after that post. I know apostate is Town and he knows I am Town because you didn't discuss whether you would send out PMs to players who won challenges with their point totals.

I got a PM though :confused:

Merk, I like your thought process, but one thing about it is stopping me from voting Rascyc. Why would he, as scum, claim 5?

At the time we thought we'd lost the challenge. If he'd claimed higher than 5 then we might have ended up over 27 and then it would be obvious someone was lying.

I find it hypocritical that my behavior offends you even though you are outright slinging slurs at me in the middle of a game. It's funny because I have never personally shown you any disrespect ever before, so what exactly is it about me you find so dickish? I am interested in hearing about your answer.

You're arrogant, pompous and disrespectful. Get over yourself.

I think it's more likely that scum would claim to put in lots of points this time considering the heat that Ras got.

You dare say these things to me when you were the one to call me a dick in the first place? You never really answered my question either. I personally will not put up with simplistic and crude responses like this. Please explain to me with EVIDENCE as to why I am irksome to you. Your response may be enlightening to you as well as myself.

Kerro's case is bad but I think he has a point in that somebody must have lied for town to fail the challenge. Of the four involved. It makes more sense for scum to lie with big numbers than small numbers. Ergo, AC is the most likely liar. I'd vote her but I already am!

apostateCourier posted:

This makes zero sense, as all scum would have to do is commit zero points to fail the challenge. Three players contributing 8 makes it fall short. Additionally, suggesting that you (Kerro) didn't put enough in without actually stating a number makes townies burn even more points in order to pick up the slack. Kerro be scum.

You're right, that's a fair point.
