I'm not feeling either of these cases that much. T-Rex did something and it's probably enough for a typical D1 case but the second of five votes isn't too much of scum tell. I'm open to a no execute but we will need 5 of 8 to execute tomorrow, means town really needs to stick together on a d2 vote.
I’m with you for the most part. I wouldn’t call a second vote on a player a scum tell, especially this early in the game. However…

I don’t like your decision to add a fourth player, which spreads votes are spread even further. We now have four players each with a vote. Of course, me voting to lynch you would add a fifth player receiving votes. It’s possible that you’re scum and trying to take heat off your scum partners.

I’m going to ##T-rex for the moment, but I do not like Tranguy’s early vote for T-rex. Joke votes are one thing, but it’s time for some serious discussion. Now that T-rex is under pressure, let's see how both he and tranguy respond. They deserve the chance to defend themselves.

Deceitful and black-hearted, perhaps we are. But we would never go against the Code. Well, perhaps for good reasons. But mostly never.
Well, I started off vaguely thinking that no-lynch was the better choice for town, and the attempt to build a quick bandwagon looked suspicious. And I still find it a bit suspicious. But after the discussion on the math for no-lynch versus the alternative, I'm convinced. So I currently find the people still pushing for doing nothing (seb,) after those posts a bit more suspicious. Also maybe yronic, who also seems to prefer not killing anyone despite the math and is voting alone, which is just as good for scum pushing a null day one as abstaining. Not really feeling anything about anyone else who actually has votes, so I'll stay here for now.

I think it worked, T-Rex has one vote against him.

While I do like T-rex's response it doesn't help that we now have 5 people on the vote list. As for me I have no idea who to vote for.

Ohh, why you got it in for me? I'm not saying no way on T. rex but I'm not a guaranteed hard no for that and really want to push exmond more right now because that's who I really suspect. Just because you voted first doesn't mean you get to dictate our only choices

Their defence has been non-existant and other people have put up convincing arguments.

If I die than I hope that helps you. I can't really figure out who is a scum player if I get murdered. I think it would clear yronic heroism but maybe that's what the scum players want?

Oct 31, 2008

T. rex is at -1 vote I think (forgot that QPQ voted for him) . Should be an easy to get the 5th vote if we go that way, and I'll consider doing so if it comes down to that. I want to at least get a couple more hours of discussion and will be very suspicious of anyone who turbo votes to get us to five unless with this much time on the clock.

Since I don't have a second on ex, I will consolidate and ##vote b-minus

b-minus didn't actually put 'vote' in there, so it's not quite official. (And I'm not sure how official the vote for 't-rex' is; votefinder isn't counting it with the others.)

What's the case against b-minus? Just early lurking+joining the emerging majority, or is there something else that looks scummy there?

If you are town: Maybe unvote to at least give rex the chance to defend? Right now anyone can drop in vote 5.

Also, what do you mean about tranguy's early vote? I'd like to hear your reasoning because right now you're just saying you don't like the very first person who voted the same way you are.

I didn't much care for the lurking, no. And the bandwagon from them seems at least as bad as Rex's.

I'm still not convinced by the vote/no vote numbers checking out if it's a scum pushing for an execution, because if they're successful the random death gets taken out of a pool with one fewer scum.

so I'm going to pick the only person who has been arguing for a specific death, ##vote exmond

Re: b-minus1

My suspicions against b-minus were largely born out of his lurking and unsubstantive posting. He responds to other posters and seems aware of the conversations occuring, but his posts tend to focus on mechanics rather than his reads on other players.

b-minus1 posted:

Hi everyone. It's time to kill scum and chew bubblegum. And I'm all out of gum.


I would say no.

b-minus1 posted:

was there seriously discussion of a d1 no lynch option?

b-minus1 posted:

True, I tend to lurk on d1 but I am lurking more than usual. I'll put a stop to that.

b-minus1 posted:

Thank you for that calm, rational response. That definitely has swayed my decision.



It's a tactic that scum tend to rely on, because it allows them to appear engaged without actually exposing themselves or their teammates. They are never forced to defend their reads because they don't make any.

Exmond do you have a real reason for suspecting mojo? because im not seeing it

In the two posts where b-minus talks about reads, there is very little commitment. The first is a clarifying question that sows doubt without ever clarifying his reasoning for why he does "not see it." Depending on the direction of the town's discussion, he can claim to have been on both sides of the argument. In the latter, the vote against T-Rex is framed is "weasel words." If T-Rex flips wrong, he can claim that he was only voting to put T-Rex under pressure or because he wanted some serious discussion. It's making a lynch against T-Rex more likely without committing to it.

In closing, I've talked myself into ##vote: b-minus

you should not follow my lead without thinking through my cases because it's been forever since i last played. also, the number of new players is absolutely wreaking my ability to read people. i can't tell what actions are being taken because people don't know how to play and which are being taken because people are trying to mislead the town. there also hasn't been a ton of discussion, which means that there aren't a lot of facts to back up cases.

My top three lynch targets today would probably be:
1.) b-minus
2.) T-Rex
3.) sitting here

Hey I trust QPQ So Ill change my vote. In regards to my defence my first post was aimed at JonJoe not getting a losing avatar for his story in Thunderdome that lost. Having recently lost thunderdome it stung a bit.


It was a pretty dumb joke but one that I stuck to for a while. I didn't throw my vote into it (Thinking this would make people realize it wasn't serious) and didn't realize that not voting means your suspicious :S?

I'm voting for

I think if anyone can protect QPQ they should? He seems knowledgeable and I think the town cop can protect?


My top suspicious people are, in no order

T-Rex (Joined the bandwagon that SH started, has a bad defence when confronted)
SittingHere (Started a bandwagon that T-rex joined.. that's about it)
yronic heroism (Voted against me without addressing the defence post I put up, keeps trying to get people to vote for me)

Okay we've got two-ish hours left and b-minus is -1. I'm gonna be here all morning, so I'll throw the hammer down at 7:59 EDT if we get there without changes/a decision -- just so we don't need to worry about rushing to prevent a no-lynch.

in my defense, the first time I posted after the round officially began, I took QPQ's non sequitur vote for me to be the norm. I figured everyone was gonna throw their votes around as they built consensus. I didn't think anyone would jump on my vote since there was literally no reason for me to vote QPQ except to be cheeky.

For friendship reasons I don't want to take T-rex out, but I guess I could be convinced. I'm kinda equally torn between exmond, yronic, and b-minus someone please convince me faaaast
