fiery_valkyrie posted:TMM, having just played a game with you as scum, you talked about how you are a high volume poster as town. Should I be reading anything into your low post count so far? Not particularly. I just finished a game where I posted a ton as the town rolecop and it was pretty draining. So I am just trying to be more relaxed and will probably take it easy on posting in this game. Now don't take that to mean I won't be paying attention or willing to put my thoughts forward, it just means that I won't be shoving those opinions down peoples throats with a massive amount of posting. And remember, I was the highest posting scum in that game even though I died first. So my post count should definitely not be seen as indicative of my alignment. How much or little I post depends on my mood not my alignment.

Doing a quick read on Hiip, I could see him as scum. He quotes Lumpens scum tell list with a vote and then points out that sucking up is on the list. His next several posts can only be described as suck up posts. I also don't like that he points out there are only 6 pages on D1, but the only person pings him is Lumpen so far. There is plenty of content to work with in those 6 pages, but Hiip doesn't want to do the work. Possibly because he already knows who is town? Would vote Hiip. Keeping vote on Kashuno. At the moment, I'd vote Rarity to avoid a no lynch, but for now she's only third on my list.

I've usually had good luck voting for whoever talks too much right out of the gate so I've thinking of voting lumpen but I'll hang in here a bit longer before I decide anything. Colonel Corazon posted:I should also say that I'm out of town taking care of family right now so once I get home I'll be able to chime in more. When can we expect more from you? I'm looking forward to your thoughts. I think you have an interesting point about IRL Werewolf, it is effective as a wolf to dominate and lead the village around and be a distracting loudmouth to waste the limited discussion time. In the forum format, though, where every post and every vote is permanently recorded to be reflected on and analyzed in a leisurely way, the dynamic is a lot different, I find. I hadn't really thought of that before. I hope you'll take some time to refer to posts and comment on interactions in this game rather than voting by a general rule-of-thumb.

There are 6 pages of Lumpen-chat and jokephase stuff, and a combined page of me being dumb and people questioning it. It's d1. There isn't going to be a lot of solid content to go on.

I also agree with Lumpen, don't be worried about your opinions being weak/weird or anything like that new people. I post lovely opinions all the time and do just fine.

What's with the assumption that playing Town Leader is somehow a bad thing, anyway? Ok, I am Mayor of Town. I will lead Town to victory. I will do this by encouraging every player to be engaged and involved in discussion, and relentlessly focus on effectively hunting Scum. If it turns out that I lead mislynches of Townies, or distract and defend from someone who flips Scum, then it would make sense to be suspicious of me. If all my posting and effort lynches Scum, hooray for me. If not, I embarrass myself and get lynched. Trying to imply that posting actively and making an effort is somehow inherently Scummy is bullshit. "He actually cares about the game, that's fishy. He's trying, lynch him!" is an attitude that makes boring lovely lurky games. Is the role-model Townie around here supposed to be someone who is detached and barely interested, just shows up in the last couple hours before deadline to apathy lynch whoever happens to be the lynch leader? Even if you really thought I was Scum, interact with me and be more sure, get me to talk about other people so if I flip Scum you have a sense of who might be my Scumbuddies. Or reassure yourself that I'm not likely Scum after all. Interrogate people who are contributing nothing, pressure them to get some info while the day is open. There's multiple Scum. It's not LYLO. ##unvote Still suspicious of Rarity but she is posting and her last few posts were unexpectedly less bad.

You know you're not trustworthy, and you're trying to lead the new people around by the nose and distract them from yourself. It's not going to work. Scum protects scum, and I wasn't convinced by Kashuno's cute little vote and unvote. See how he's defending you now! Then there's Ernie, who vouched for you, in a way that we conveniently can't verify. Lumpen, Kashuno, and Ernie. are scum.

It's much more likely that I'm just having a hard time focusing because I hate d1 and Lumpen is writing a lot of words so I skimmed, got something, and when called out on it turns out I never actually had anything.

Lumpen posted:I disagree. His backoff seemed sincere and reasonable to me, at a time where if he were Scum it would've been easy and effective to just keep pushing. We'll just have to disagree because to me his back off felt weird and self-conscious. And I fail to understand how you think the only options are you're both town or you're both scum because that is what you're second paragraph is implying. Honestly, the whole second paragraph makes me want to rethink my position on you. Kash could be town backing off a charismatic scum pressuring him in a reasonable fashion or he could be scum backing of an active and direct townie I'm at a convenient time.

If there's one thing that I don't do in mafia, it's feel self-conscious about my votes. I can acknowledge when they suck or are low content, but that doesn't mean I feel bad about it.

It's literally saying the name of his role and that's not a breadcrumb. You better WATCH out Kashuno because you're standing on the TRACKS and if the train hits you even a DOCTOR wouldn't able to save you. P.S. - You should just COP to being scum now.

It's something that's easy to glance over but if he were to reference it later it'd be clear? Like I'm not interested in people breadcrumbing as a cop with some obscure reference to some noire cop drama where the vice cop #2 said something, something clear and easy to get but also easy to skip over is nice.

Kashuno is not making me feel particularly good about himself right now. Admittedly, I gave him a pass last night for that comment about Lumpen being nervous-seeming because I could kind of get that reading if I squinted and tilted my head funny, but when you combine it with his more recent posts about Lumpen reading as townie to him because of word choice -- those posts specifically seem insincere to me. I can't make the idea of Kashuno and Lumpen being scum together make any sense at all with their respective post histories though, so there's gotta be something up here. Gonna give Lumpen another reread.

For me at least it's not that you're posting and being active and all that, it's the specific way that you are going about it, which feels like an attempt to mislead. I've elaborated on this before so I'm not going to repeat myself. It is early days still though, you're right. If you're not Scum (which I still think you are), it's possible that the scum team are hanging back and letting you paint a target on yourself, rather than feeling the need to step in. There are a lot of people we haven't heard too much from ( preview edit: well I guess you can cross Opop off that list then!

fiery_valkyrie posted:Ok, sorry for my abrupt reply, but I didn't think talking about the content game any further was helpful. I do still want to talk further about your vote on Lumpen. He was pretty much the only vocal player in the thread, he has an abrasive play style and he already had a couple of joke votes sitting on him. Please elaborate on how he wasn't a low hanging fruit vote. Ok, you have a point. I was being needlessly abrasive, he was low hanging fruit. However, I vote for the person I think is scum, it doesn't matter how their fruit hangs. fiery_valkyrie posted:I think Lumpen probably was trying to set himself up as a town leader, and I think the why is because Lumpen likes to be in control and I see that as an aspect of his personality that is not alignment dependent. Can you explain why you think only a scum player would try to put themselves in that position? Do you really think Lumpen couldn't behave this way as town? As I've already explained, in a newbie heavy game as you can lead the newbies around in any direction you wish. What reason do you think a town Lumpen would have for trying to get that level of influence?

fiery_valkyrie posted:I totally disagree with you here. The winning strategy on SA recently would be to just lynch from the bottom of the post count up. Town would win consistently. You even overestimate me, go back and look at my post count in Port Lourde. I am absolutely not a high volume poster there -- I got called out by the mod for lurking. Port Lourde is anecdotal evidence. We all play against our meta sometimes. The point is it's something you can do, it's something many people can do and just because it's not what other people do doesn't mean it should be completely disregarded as a scum playstyle.
