You did see my reasoning as well right? Like the only reason you think it's illogical is because you seem sure scum didn't get the answers. You already think Moat made a mistake. He could have made that mistake as scum if they had the answers.

I don't want to fight hard for IS here, because I liked Gulag's first two points. But I do want to defend my own opinion which seems similar.

Except people have said scum didn't get the answers in the previous two games with this mechanic, so I'm going off precedent. Yeah, maybe you're right and they do this time, but I have no evidence at all that suggests that to be true so I'm not going to assume it in order to lynch someone.

Maybe you think they know the answers because you have access to the mod doc because you're a 3P who needs to make the game crash in order to win!

If I made that argument with nothing to back it up you'd say it's crazy and you'd be right. It's the same thing.

preface all my posts with this
My eyes are skimming over at like 80% of these posts, I just can't get over how much people post D1 now. Like, I peaced out for over a day, that's my bad, but it's so hard to figure out if people are posting genuine thoughts or not when so much of the day is based on complete nothingness. I don't see so many of the points people are making to the extreme that I can't really say it's scummy or not. The volume's too large.

This is all whining, but it's to say that I've found it a lot harder to get into games with D1s like this. I don't know. Maybe D2 will be better!

I really liked Gulag's case though. My second pick for scum would be Asiina because she gut pinged me early with some awkward posts and then started posting A Whole Lot in a way I found forced.

Except if he's scum and skimmed it then he would have thought B was the "most correct" answer so why bring that as a possibility? Wouldn't that make him want it more to be A?

If he thought there were just enemies in the cave then A would have been the answer that gets us hurt for not attacking first.

Ah, I understand the piece you are missing.

Ok, again, reliant on scum having the answers, let's say it was something like this:

A: Pro town, Minor Pro scum
B: Major Pro scum
C: Major Pro Town
D: Pro scum, Minor Pro town

So Moat sees this and is like, hey, I wonder if there are any game reasons I can lead people to pick the best option for scum. He finds the walkthrough and thinks it says B is the right answer so posts it thinking he gets the best of both worlds, gets us to pick the scum option, while still looking fine for it because hey, the walkthrough said it was the right option.

No, you are totally right that I'm being tinfoil about it. I hadn't really considered it a possibility until Moat did that. I could easily be wrong.

Yeah I figured that was the format. For the first encounter it looks like we picked some sort of middle-ground pro town, pro scum option since everyone got CP equally.

This one seemed to be a better deal for us than scum since we got more CP than them. C might have gotten us more, but who knows. Definitely A was a better option than B.

Want to make a comment on the second round of votes.

I asked that someone lookup a guide for this scenario and tell us the correct choice (As I was in bed falling asleep)

Infinitum posted:

Someone look up a walkthrough of FF3 and tell us what the correct choice is, and we'll vote that

Until then imma sleep

The following votes happened with 0 discussion whatsoever.

These are BAD VOTES regardless of outcome.

King Burgundy posted:

I so so badly want to choose d, but I'm thinking A has gotta be the right choice here.

A

Murmur Twin posted:

I'm feeling A.

Then Moat comes along and links this guide. A quick read shows that a new member joins the party.

So instead of stating that we should vote A and wait, Moat suggests that we should just go ahead and attack :siren:

With misinformation on the board Asiina votes B to attack

Until IS rightfully calls Moat out on his poo poo and votes for him

So my thoughts on this are.
- JJ, KB, and MT all voting with 0 information are bad and dumb votes and I suspect at least one of them to be scum.
- Moat presenting misinformation to the thread is BADDDDDDDDD and def sets off a lot of alarms.
- I tentatively agree with GDs case on IS, but I feel Moat comes off the worse of the 2 by doing this.
- IS calling out Moats bullshit is right and good and the correct move, and if I was given the choice to vote between the 2 I would vote Moat.

So that's just what I will do.

Well, I'm one of the main playable characters and already part of the story.

3 empty votes on me close to deadline.

For the record, last game the playable characters in the story events were actual players in the (Mafia) game.

But I guess I'm the only one here who played FF2.

If you want to quickly turbo me for claiming my flavor in response to enough empty votes to put me at/near vote lead 1 hour away from lynch I guess go for it?

On a quick re-read (and it was pretty quick since there's not a lot there) apart from the unpressured flavor claim, I don't see a lot I have an issue with.

Nobody's immediately counter-claimed him and isn't Refia a pretty major character? I can't see that being a fake-claim he was given if she is.

I'm leaning a dumb move, but probably town.
