Knowing how people usually act, and then seeing them act differently is a tried and true scum hunting tool. Why would you remove that from your toolbelt?

Applying that and looking for their motivation is the next step.

I'm not saying remove it altogether. I just think it is relied upon too much and often is treated as axiomatic regarding alignment.

Lol @ Keane. Alignment neutral, I'd say it as town or scum with the same degree of sincerity.

Outside of D1 when we have nothing to work with, I think Meta is a great pillar to build cases upon, but it shouldn't be the entirety of the case.

Only meta is more or less being used to avoid cases, imo.

It seems like meta is only being used to say why someone isn't scum and is mostly based only loose observations from rapport with the exception of the good place mafia being a specific call out.

yeah but you need to induce posting to generate the content to case to begin with. you cant case with no actions and no posts (but that sounds like an interesting idea for a game of mafia...)

For what it's worth a LONG time ago I ran a game where you had to vote in your first post each day, and you could never NOT have a vote down after you posted.

I always intended to run another one with the same mechanic, just never got around to it. It definitely made for some interesting days.

I agree it was early and justified but more importantly I hate posting gimmicks even if Disco Elysium was a good game.

##vote Bifauxen

Are you still voting Bif based solely on the PR thing? Do you have any thoughts on the vig mixed with it?

Like I get your view on PRs. I don't agree with it, I've seen it done and have done it regardless of alignment, especially when it was fun or it helped me get into a game, but Bif is basically the one person in this game that you have more to go on with the vig kill so steeling your vote totally in the PR is jumping out to me.

##vote Idle Amalgam

Voting Bif for her use of the vig is incorrect, but not something that surprises me. This vote in particular is bad and scum centric. The single word Agreed on a post of someone else. Trying to tie it back to Sci. Taking no responsibility for the easy vote.

You still think this despite the Disco Elysium stuff coming out?

##vote SiV. The either thing is probably pointless. I was wondering why she said she didn't like that grandi post "either" when I couldn't find an earlier post of his she commented on.

Regardless something about her interactions with Grandi stood out to me so might as well just gut vote it.

Is this plurality? I just assumed it was as Cpig's last game was and the one I'm running is plurality but looking at the OP now I don't see anything either way.

Unless I specifically state that a game is plurality you can safely assume it is majority as the default.

Jumping from science to grand but falling back on the mason thing at the same time, then the follow up post. I don’t know just felt off. I mean if there are players I just don’t want to vote early on because I want to play with them I just don’t post about those people, especially to half call them scum but pull back at the same time.

For the record I don’t think it’s scummy to just say I don’t want to vote someone today because I want to play with them. I do that almost every game with a couple posters, I just don’t go out of my way to call them slightly scummy when I do it.
