actually is that even possible now? I don't think that giving merk or Mills a kill is hugely helpful Trill. If they're town then they'll probably hit town anyway and I dunno if that would exactly be helpful to case-making.

Any way you look at it you have two uninformed d1 kills. I'd rather they both give information about who has scummy reasoning. That is why PMom's way is the absolute worst.

We're seeing the first flip before we decide on who to dunk! The second kill is not uninformed.

Don't you think that using the gun in a majority-rules fashion (requiring people to actively state who they want to shoot) is better than giving it to one person who either (a) doesn't know who scum is or (b) is scum themselves?

People can shittily explain their reasoning as ever. Who they choose to shoot is interesting.

Using the gun in a majority-rules fashion gives us more information, but not as strong information as having the player who is given the gun use it however the hell they see fit. I'd rather learn strong information about the player given the gun. We also don't have enough time to use the gun in a quality majority fashion and then get out a quality majority-based lynch. It would be the best possible scenario for us to get someone the gun in like the next six hours, talk about what that person should do for an hour or so, and then have that person fire a shot. After that happens, we can use the information to help drive today's lynch until the deadline.

The gun is being given tonight at 8 PM EST, in nine hours, there's no provision in the rules Byers posted for it to be given earlier.

I thought it was majority for some reason. Give the gun to me. I will use it in the most pro-town manner which everyone can probably agree. You also might learn something about my alignment based on what I do. I promise that I will not fire off a shot with a and no case. I will build as large and in depth as possible of a case on someone and fire the shot in the same post. I also will do this probably 1-2 hours after receiving the gun, depending on my evening availability. Give into my new attempt at playing mafia. Let me swing for the fences with this vig and a case.

MMT is confirmed town, because this is exactly how I feel as well. It seems like a lot of people are being hypocritical about this. If you believe that we should always lunch D1, for information, then a double lunch is double the information. Believing that people can explain away any vote is fundamentally at odds with believing you can catch scum.

Ernie. posted:MMT is confirmed town, because this is exactly how I feel as well. :hi5: I don't understand the sentiment that 1 lunch is fundamentally better than both 0 and 2 of them. merk posted:Oh, welp. I thought it was majority for some reason. I don't necessarily like this. If you're town and shoot scum - which is the best case scenario - there's a good case you'd be NK'ed. From there on, the vig didn't really give much information. If you shoot town it becomes difficult to tell if you were wrong or are scum. Why not give me the gun and then make a really good case on someone? That way we get your case, plus data on who agreed with it and who didn't.

AnonymousNarcotics posted:I'm having trouble believing the argument that grandi is scum. What usually feels scummy to me is when someone gets really defensive and tries to point to someone else immediately as scum. I like this post. It's very well reasoned, it doesn't shift the blame on Pmom (i.e. WELL HE DID A SCUMMY THING I HAD TO VOTE HIM), and it's still light-hearted. Grandicap posted:Oh, I am cool that you are being dismissive of that part. It was meant as a joke. The butt of the joke being my laziness in looking at your previous games. There is no reason for you to lie about something so trivial, that any number of people in this game could call you out about, or any number of people could look up easily. Anyone who reads this post and still gives PMom the gun is something. It's so earnest and it strikes exactly the right balance between being reasonable and being curious that scum are usually too stressed to do.

He makes a provision to use his gun in the scummiest way possible, i.e. allowing himself to manufacture an opinion and kill its target in one post. This post seems too self-reliant to actually be taking the context of the game into account. Mills posted:##vote LM >:\ Pinterest Mom posted:I thought you were suspish, and then your extreme mafia-dadding "oh well that's a good response for a newbie to have" that also served as an eject button from a case that wasn't getting traction made me think you're scum, so that's when I voted. I feel like everything Pin has said in this game has an inventedness air to it. This post especially. It feels like scum who's proud that they're in control of the mood of the game with a good case, reaping the advantages of the attention that's being paid to them as much as possible. Poque posted:so in this case, #arming you is just #voteing grandi. that's not unreasonable. It's pretty much just a shortcut way to do what MT is suggesting. Poque posted:that's plenty of time to decide on two people. Poku's posts are good. They represent the ~true ideals of mafia~ well so I think it'll be difficult to read into them one way or the other. Null tell for now. _____ Null on Somberbrero _____ True and Real posted:I think Pmom is about the worst person to give a gun to, presently. Diqnol is probably very likely town this game. His entire game is based on getting reactions, and only nudging the thread away from PMom is consistent with that. It doesn't restrict the organic reactions the thread would have, but also doesn't give us more information about a known entity at this point (Pmom).

It wasn't just her one post, but all of them. I disagree with almost all of her casing (I think she's talked about Grandi?) but she's done it in a way that's sincere and easy to follow. On the other hand, I disagree with almost all of your casing, but you've done it based on lines of logic that I don't think are sincere. For example the relentless pursuit of Grandicap because he gave you a pass. Maybe later in the game that would be worth something but on a D1 I feel it's much more likely to be a personality quirk.
