I'm home and still catching up, but:

Voodoo what the gently caress, why would you reset votes so close to the deadline AND vig the vote leader? It's not like you didn't know that using your power would reset the votes, because the power explicitly says that's the case. It's like you were hopping up and down for the chance to use your power on who you wanted to die, and not on who the actual lurker was.

Oh poor spring child, if you think I wasn't salivating at the mouth to kill a lurker regardless of my alignment then, well, I'll show you the true path over the next however many games we hopefully play together.

You didn't kill _a_ lurker. You killed a specific lurker by goading the other leading lurker into posting. Why would you give a poo poo either way? And why would you knowing reset the vote count with three hours and change to deadline? Maybe even less time than that, since it seems there was a possibility that you thought it was even closer to the deadline than it actually was because of the 10:00AM comment.

And I said I wanted spoonsy over pander because I was already voting spoonsy when jammy started posting. It was one versus the other so made a choice. If spoonsy started posting it wouldn’t have mattered and I hammer pander instead.

I'm going to stop beating around the bush here, and call you and Voodoo scum buddies. Based on how this all played out, it REALLY looks like Voodoo publicly berated his scum buddy into posting so that he could vig someone he knew was town, and try to force a no-lynch by doing it so close to the deadline to give the scum team a numbers edge early on in the game. Plus, you led the panic-vote at the last second on a thin case against Jam when there were no clear candidates because the leading one was vigged.

Why on earth would I not want to use the kill on someone I had called scummy already, who wasn’t posting, and who was likely a lunch? It gave us to lunches today. We missed on both. I would have preferred chili as the other one but not enough people agreed?

You spent the better part of a day jumping up and down trying to get Pander to post instead of just using your lurker kill on Pander, and letting Spoonsy get lynched. Spoonsy wasn't the vote leader yet, but he seemed to be well on his way to being lynched for lurking. We still would have gotten two flips and more time to process the flip without having to deal with the last minute no-lynch situation.

This is a tough one to untangle.

On one hand, it's really weird that Voodoo tried so hard to specifically avoid lurker-killing Pander.

On the other hand, that would be a pretty bold move for scum. There wasn't really anyone that was the imminent lunch target, so it wouldn't make sense to behave that way to specifically reset the lynch and save someone.

Voodoo can you elaborate on what you're saying here:

I kinda don't buy that the reset mechanic wasn't in your role PM, because... your role PM is publicly posted in the OP, and sure enough, it's there. Unless merk really hosed you, you're lying.

Voodoofly posted:

ahem, I'm the only one so far who has killed a townie. Killing townies is the most townie tell there is.

I also don't like the sequencing here, as if you're trying to nudge the town into getting trapped in a dead end.

Here's the problem I'm having with this scenario: if Voodoo and Pander are scum buddies, Voodoo isn't really saving Pander from anything... besides his own gavel. Spoonsy probably would have gotten hammered anyway. If anything, it adds an element of risk for the scum, because it allows for another lunch target, and that could have been anyone at this point in the game.

Killing a townie and forcing a no-lynch isn't really worth a big gambit: the scum were already well on their way to getting a townie (Spoonsy) lunched without the need for a big gambit. That would have numerically put them in the position that you're proposing without the risk of the gavel.

It seems like the correct townie application of that power would be to use it later in the game on a day where the town is having trouble deciding between lunching a lurker and someone else. If played well, it would effectively give the town an extra day and forego the scum night kill.

The way Voodoo played it, immediately on Day 1, and before anyone really has the chance to even be a lurker, doesn't make a lot of sense.

Honestly I’m not opposed to taking out the people that got to pick first. We can start with voodoo. Sure we may lose some town, but scum definitely wanted to steal those power roles from town. It seems unlikely that scum submitted 1 for their numbers. I was surprised when our number choices were made public. Jmo

Even if I'm squinting it's really hard to see the voodoo pander scumbros theory. It's just too much and honestly, I can't see Voodoo just spamming the thread like that when he really didn't need to.

Like, yeah poorly executed and a terrible call on his part but it seemed like he really wanted to do what he wanted to do and Pander really wasn't around for it.

More than anything he's coming across as a townie who made a big mistake. Now if Pander is scum it was a huge mistake. Still scratching my head on that one, gonna read him more in-depth now that he's been around a bit.

Sidenote: I am really irritated with the switch to "lunching". Like yeah, it's really good that we're not using lynching, cos that's a terrible word with a terrible history that we don't need to use. But lunching is basically just saying the same thing but now it sounds really stupid cos it doesn't mean anything. Can't we just use kicking or something similar? I'm guessing that over the years this has been debated in the community but that's my two cents.

My theory is that Voodoo generated content and cred for himself with his constant hectoring of lurking players, including focusing on Pander - it creates an antagonistic relationship between them which is conducive to future bussing if required. However, Voodoo's Lurker Hammer really cemented it for me; after pulling the trigger on the vote leader rather than Pander (and there are other players with similarly low post counts), reseting the vote count before the deadline, and taking everything off the board, then running a train on Jammy.

The entire thing was a patently anti-town series of events; Voodoo could have hammered Pander and we could have lynched Spoonsy and I think we might have been far more pleased with that outcome.

i dont know if the role pm thing has anything there, i was looking back at my own posts trying to find something and there was speculation that voodoofly role was a lurker lynch which i wouldn't have posted if he had posted the role in the OP, he also doesn't have white mage in the OP

i'm thinking merk added it there after it was activated just to clarify how the role worked
