uggggggggh this is why D1 is the best, before everyone gets sidetracked by night action analysis which is probably pointless cause there's so much people don't know or take for granted, or in this case don't read in the OP

Oh wow that was lucky

Since Toal's flip revealed that YPM would be jailed and couldn't possibly use his night rolecop,I decided to rolecop Amnistar instead of Dancer. Since YPM couldn't fill that part of the chain, and Dancer who was next in line after me would likely just get free-lunched today anyway.

Also cause I wasn't expecting to actually live through tonight and so if someone else had three same idea it prolly wouldn't matter if we doubled up.

Amni, you might have some idea about your role by now, though? There is an interesting extra quirk to it though, once you "become aware" of it. Much like Toal's role also mentioned a change once you became aware. I could possibly tell you more later.

okay I did a rolecop on bif

anyway day one was a weekend, blah blah I lurked and that's really all there is to that

however!

having read day 1 I've found a posting pattern that I think is scummy:

Gamerofthegame posted:

Back filling it, there is something just off with amni and ypm back and forth, although unfortunately I can't really put my finger on it. It feels a little like just scum making noise in a slow thread to get by, given they're... making nonsense empty arguments. On the flip they could be active town who's only assmo is nonsense empty nomenclature arguments, though.

it's not a big read

"could be scum or could be town"

drop the "bunch" bit it's dumb as hell gang

everyone who's anyone knows that scum aren't going to divine out bad takes and pushes out of the aether day one, that backfires too much. all these bad cases are town

the real scum is etr

"this scummy thing is too dumb to be scum"

Gamerofthegame posted:

let's be real there probably isn't enough people active to get to fancy with voting

solus is a nothing vote and I don't think scum would do something so brazenly dumb as that, so maybe steak and etr are ok

unsure.

"this scummy vote on solus is too dumb to be scum"

Gamerofthegame posted:

wait hold up

stop a sec, genuinely help me out here gang

we're piling on lurker dragon because they made went what amounts to "idk that feels town to me" with some back and forth after bif needled them on it?

i dunno about this one chief. once again I don't think scumchat would go "let's all start a d1 train on this lurker who said something just weird enough!!" because that seems stupid/suicidal af but still

why? this seems particularly weird from bif who's engaging with people in the thread in general and she comes back to this? have I missed key details of this case

No, I think it's stupid. Why on earth would it be scummy to push someone that we don't know the day action of to target yourself?

I'm ping ponging back and forth on Hum based on their behavior at the end of the day yesterday.

Either I actually got under Hum's skin, and pissed them off, in which case I apologize for it, and the reactions were genuine

or

Hum didn't care who got lunched and just moved their vote and then did perforative outrage when they got called out on it.

I'm leaning towards genuine reaction, thoughts of other people?

Amni as for your question about Hum, I don't know what to make of that lateday angry posting you were asking about. I'm just still leaning towards preferring Dragonatrix as a lunch choice before Hum, since even though Hum's reactions to me were scummy, they seem more likely to have an alternative townie explanation, imo.

I'm starting to feel a bit suspicious of SIV though, for messing up using the rolecop last night even after she took the time yesterday to say she liked the chain-rolecop plan. Also this:

spacing in vienna posted:

loving hell I can't get votefinder to update, it's not right in the op and not right in the website either, can someone post?!

I hate the ETR switch, people piled on like crazy, there would be more traction if he was scum.

"People piled on like crazy" is a bad reason to cast doubt on a vote shift when it's super close to deadline and there's no way but fast that the votes can pile on. And when people are explicitly looking for the possibility of a last-minute alternative vote.

Night actions aren't pointless, it's just annoying how much people rely so heavily on them and don't want to play Mafia until they get some, when they can't even understand how basic ones work sometimes

But sure sure, I couldn't just be letting off steam about people messing up their night actions already, I must be literally trying to actually convince everyone in thread to disregard night actions ok

Anyway I didn't get useful info by luck, I would have got the same info on Amni whether or not Dancer died. The lucky part was that my choice to ignore Dancer ended up having no cost to it whatsoever.

Mr. Humalong posted:

Easy. You look up the list, figure out who you are supposed to target, see that it's YPM, look up your list of actions, see that toal targeted and therefore jailed YPM, and then try to decide if you should stick to the plan or find a new target. You end up deciding that sticking to the plan is what everyone is supposed to do, and besides, you'll see what your night action failure message is, which is useful.

So with all that decided, you type "target ypm with my night action please and thanks" and go back to sleep.

Later you reread and realize that your night action is not the same as your rolecop and you were so busy focusing on the target that you didn't specify what you meant and you are loving dumb.

K you're missing my point, I think. You're right that it was a last minute push, and so things piled up fast, and that's the only way they could have.

I'm saying: everyone in thread shrugged and kind of went with it. Sure, ETR, why not.

Last minute pushes that don't hit any resistance like that almost never hit scum. The fact that no one really cared if it was ETR one way or the other pretty much meant ETR wasn't scum. If he were, there would have been more of a pushback, even a token one.

That's why I didn't want to switch.
