okay now we can have a leisurely chat. soag are you really feeling gaspy or is this just a spare of the minute thing? he's pinging me, but he pings me every game and my confidence post toml flip is somewhat shattered.

like i've never seen him round on someone like he did you, you're right, and his reasoning to me was that he knows he's town therefore knows you're wrong. That disregards that you might be town and not know his alignment and that we don't know his alignment so that argument doesn't work for me.



I'm not 100% on sphyxy, most of the time when i read his posts I get a rally weird vibe

But a few of his posts I look at and think that threes no way a scum would adopt that attitude or add those incidental details


I think if I wasn't so concerned about ruining the game for a friend I would be gunning hard for him

I want to have a reread of mith, she's generally been very low content and kicked off the Thomas vote

That funny effort post she made, with no other strategic thinking in the last two days, seems like exactly the sort of thing that would be cooked up ina scum doc with the intent of establishing a good reputation early on

Man you guys play hard :) This game is far-and-away my favorite since coming back this year :)

MaliciousOnion: Are you seriously saying that just because you claim town and breadcrumb your role you should be left alone?! EVERYONE SHOULD BE CLAIMING TOWN - that's part of the game man. What scum is gonna tapdance around the alignment issue - the only role I could see claiming not-town is survivor (which is often a dodge for scum). Breadcrumbing is inherently useless - just ask TOML how much good it did him. Much like claiming it's not something anyone is going to breadcrumb SK/Scumteam unless its a post restriction. While we're on the topic and I'm good and ranting - breadcrumbing is like soft claiming - claiming is almost always bad for the town. If you're a town power role and you claim to get out of a lynch you're either going to be roleblocked for the rest of the game or killed at the earliest opportunity. If you claim VT you've done nothing because scum can claim things too and VT isn't something to be proven/disproven until your flip.

All of the above being said - I get where you guys are coming from - lynching me yesterday wouldn't have been as good as the TOML lynch because there are posts with actual opinions on TOML in the thread - some may be scum buddying up to a townie - some may be town suspicious of their fellow player - all bring information in their own way. Beyond MO's posts and a couple of others there have been no strong opinions on me - you'd be doing day 2 take 2 if I was dead :P But the bandwagon on TOML was quick and brutal - I'm going to assume it's because you guys are aussie and hunt like that because every butterfly is venomous and wants to kill you. I'm going to make it my mission day 3 to have several active cases through the day - and if we hit deadline and another "whelp - let's take out this guy" comes up with good cases on the board we'll have even more information :)

Breadcrumbs are useful because you can later refer to them if pressed, you can say look I am not making this up because it's convenient , I flagged this earlier

Of course that would require there to be a conversation, but no, much better to pile on after a poster has left the thread and can't defend themselves. God forbid a player ever goes to watch some tv.

Also lol at anyone saying my Breadcrumbs were too subtle, because it's loving stupid to expect a town doctor to be too obvious because the scum will then know who to kill

Also it should have been obvious that I was town from my secret project chat, especially after the secret project discussion with Kommando and the sp info in the flips

Anyway good luck town, you need it

I wanted to talk to this a bit, I've been fairly undecided on bread crumbing but less and less do I think it's as useful as people think it may be. People bread crumbing are obviously, contrary to what's best for town, setting up a defence for themselves. What's best for town is you scum hunt and catch scum and I'm concerned bread crumbing sets you up for a cautious play style where you're worried you might get lynched and therefore aren't playing as good town because you're putting yourself first .

This is more of a problem the more useless your role is. Eg. A doctor doing it is bad, but less bad then a gimped watcher or vanilla town.

Bread crumbing also can give scum info if they pick it up. This is not good. Would you out right claim on day one? No! Games I've been scum i look for bread crumbs and in the past have picked people and prioritised accordingly eg. fruity as a vigilante due to a day one comment and killed her that night.

Well unless you flipped scum that is. It's also not unexpected of you, the only other alternative last night (with votes) to think the other person was a better option.

Quick skim of Bif's summary and history: didn't really pick a side on me vs gaspy, said she wasn't really feeling it for either of us. Suggests going hard on tbk and kleedrac, also initially throws some poo poo at mith but backs away from that after mith's big post. Votes for me, kleedrac, and finally toml.

a bit of talking, then bif jumps on for lack of a better direction and tbk drops the bomb.

I'm willing to bet Mithranderp and phyx are scum. and we have a serial killer because two vigilantes is highly unlikely.
last option would be two teams of two but that setup wouldn't have a godfather.

I'm also willing to suspect tbk is filth, but he likely hammered to get his project off.

Asphyxious, Gough Suppressant was certain on your guilt, unambiguously calling you scum.

tbk mentioned that his secret project involved being in on two successful lynchings, and three projects activated, so it's plausible. Doesn't mean he's necessarily town but it's worth pointing out.
