Bifauxnen: Aug 12, 2010; Curses! Foiled again!

It's really loving frustrating that people have just ghosted the gently caress out of this game.

seriously, but it wouldn't be as frustrating if he just used the drat daycop

I know I gotta watch out for my weakness of hounding people for suboptimal play, which is not always scummy, but I'm drawing a line here, how on earth do you get a daycop and not wanna use the daycop

and it's not like he forgot he had the daycop, cause he sure had time to tell everybody how it was totally gonna be part of his master plan if he didn't use the daycop

which he didn't

Interestingly, I received acknowledgement from the mod of my last button press, but nothing here. I don�t know if Solus is busy or if something weird happened with it.

Yeah I've thought about going crazy and accusing bif of nonsense for being around deadline but like I'm thinking the exact same thing about dancer. It would suck if there was some ability that forced people not to play but it's been like a day and a half of real time? I'm pretty sure we shouldnt leave it up to a unknown anti lurker challenge considering we're at myly probably, and someone who refuses to participate and use their cop might be scum ??? i guess???

Can you run me the math on why you think that�s the case on D2 when one scum flipped yesterday?

I�m not outright saying you�re wrong, but I can�t come up with a scenario where this would be the case where town would have had much shot to win.

9 of us, 14 at the start of the game, assuming 4 scum to start with.

we kill someone, they nk someone, 7 and 3 scum. If some one vigs town we lose. mlyl maybe.

Did this start with 12? Or 14? We�ve only had 3 deaths, right? Inf, Onset, CPig?

Oh wait, Yami was shot today, right?

But the player list had 14 in it. Who am I missing?

Found my error, was missing DB as the dunk yesterday.

Okay. So started with 14. Hmmm. Four scum in 14 doesn�t seem totally unreasonable, I guess.

I�m going to have to ponder on this more, but I�m not overly afraid of this being mylo or whatever, that just seems like bad balance. I feel like it would be far more likely we started with 3 scum and a 3P of some kind, than 4 scum. Had we started at 14 and both the issued vigs bad shot town, the game ends by D3 and that seems to be a waste.

If Dancer doesn�t return by midday tomorrow, I don�t have a huge objection to that vote, but I think there�s still a couple more people that have said little or nothing today and I don�t want to fall back to dunking a lurker for the sake of lurking.

Really does look like the lurker mechanics are left up to chance, voting dancer makes it sure.

If dancer is town and we lose and one of the 3 other active players is scum, its fine I guess because at least scum played mafia and walking away from the game after acting beyond scummy is way past cool.

Anomalous Amalgam: Feb 13, 2015; by Nyc_Tattoo; Doctor Rope

Sorry, I've been AFK. The weekend was busy for me. @Toal, I'm mildly suspicious of sober and hum just because we didn't have reads on jimmy and OMG, OMG the greater mystery between the two.

However, I don't have good reads. There's a lot of lurking that makes things cloudy, and a lot of not saying anything which means players aren't incriminating themselves.

Nep's hypocritical gut vote on me rubs me the wrong way, but nepples feels town this game.

I don't like the votes on Dancer, and it feels like maybe scum are just trying to drive out a cop.

Its a 1 shot cop, Dancer should definitely cop someone here. like Bif or Me or Nep imo.

Cactus Ghost: Dec 20, 2003; you can actually inflate your scrote pretty safely with sterile saline, syringes, needles, and aseptic technique. its a niche kink iirc

the saline just slowly gets absorbed into your blood but in the meantime you got a big round smooth distended nutsack

If Dancer shows back up and uses the daycop, there�s certainly no shortage of good targets for that, as you mentioned.

However, if the numbers situation is as dire as you imply it is, a scum Dancer can/should fake a result anyway to dunk a townie and then per your scenario we�re essentially screwed anyway. I�m surprised you�re not a little more cognizant of that.

Im aware of it. There's no need to scare dancer off any more though, I'd take any result with a grain of salt.

Well, I was going to go look at the snapshot in time when Dancer made that post to see who was the vote leader, and see if it was possible that a scum Dancer held off because we were already on the way to dunking a townie, but there�s no vote counts posted anywhere near that and I�m not awake enough to put it together myself yet, so :shrug:
