The stumpify thing is interesting. I think it passed? If I read it correctly, Humalong will be a temporary special player who may or may not be town-aligned. The fun choice is, of course, to stumpify him. I worry that it will make the game harder for town though. It's already hard enough to cut through all the noise and find scum.

Grandicap posted:I feel like this is how AT-LOW posts in every game I've seen. I have literally never been scum on this website, I'm afraid Hal Insandenza posted:I agree, although maaaaaaybe I could see AT-LOW being a bit more... concerned about appearances? However, Hal is very sharp! I am actively trying to concern myself less with appearances this game. If Hal noticed that, Hal probably has a good grasp on my play in general If you'd like, Grandi, I could tell you what people offsite consider my scum meta, but that would be me telling you my scum meta and it would be discord Mafia vs. forum Mafia, so it would all have to be taken with several grains of salt

It's goofy to say "ah well if Solus just doesn't agree we execute him" when that doesn't really help town too much since a scum Solus would get a free kill. Like, if you think he's scummy, that's not a compelling deal! Scum Solus kills town, gets executed, and scum get another night kill.

Mr. Steak posted:how was solus's behavior demonstrably scummy? Cuz he shot (or attempted) a person supposedly at random at the beginning of the game, which is bad for town statistically speaking, and doesn’t give info on him (Solus) or anyone else in the game because it was too early to see interplay. If it killed Grandi and Grandi was scum, it would have been beneficial to town basically by accident.

I don't like random at the moment either, both writing off Solus as demonstrably scum, and trying to work out a deal to keep them alive.

Mr. Steak posted:and that would make him scummy? No? But either he’s: - Town that doesn’t care that he’s playing bad odds and not providing any info to town but might maybe get lucky I guess cool - Scum that obviously doesn’t care cuz they wouldn’t - Third party, ditto to the above This is bizarre that I’m being sort of attacked by Mr. Steak for calling him scummy and by Grandi for not calling him scummy enough? Wtf

Honest answer: I don’t know anymore because I am deep in WIFOM territory and frankly he hasn’t posted much. (Scum wouldn’t be so dumb to do this at the start of D1! But they know you’d think that! If he were scum, he’d be posting more to stay alive! But he knows that so he won’t play it too hard!) But based primarily on my current feelings about who is voting Solus, I am surprised to say I... don’t think he’s scum

CCKeane posted:It's goofy to say "ah well if Solus just doesn't agree we execute him" when that doesn't really help town too much since a scum Solus would get a free kill. 1:1 scum:town trade is not a good deal for scum though, I agree with grandi that solus should shoot based on his own reasoning rather than randomly or by town concensus but I’m still not super keen on the solus case. Is any of it based on anything apart from a first post vig? It’s a null tell to me, his latest post didn’t ready scummy to me either and I hate cases that involve accusations of players ‘disappearing’, especially on a weekend.

Solus it's nice(?) you came back with scumreads but they're literally all based on your own situation, might you consider commenting on something else You're also mistaken that I thought you were town but w/e I already went over that twice CCKeane posted:It's goofy to say "ah well if Solus just doesn't agree we execute him" when that doesn't really help town too much since a scum Solus would get a free kill. Right, which is why I proposed it on Solus's NAI game with anti-town ability use As I said before and as Grandi is saying now, there's no point on doing it on a scummy player, you just vote them But a player can easily anti-town first post vig regardless of their alignment, so given that there was no content yet and more potential vig, I proposed that we say "stop being anti-town or be voted" (rather than simply vote out of hand as some seemed ready to). A town player who cooperates will be more protown than before, while a scum player who wants to try and disguise scumminess as chaos will be struck by the vote contingency. A scum player who cooperates must be found out through content, which is how things normally are. It seemed like a workable scenario to me. But Solus... hmm. What is this re-entry? Stream of consciousness analysis incoming

Solus comes back full of bravado, acts like he is not at all on the back foot, sends out sus at a bunch of people based exclusively on his own situation, offers (to toal) to lurker vig toal Why Why show up and be both unconcerned and unhelpful Is the idea that we're supposed to go "oh there's no way scum would come back with literally nothing prepared, they had a whole scumchat to help with that"? For town Solus what's the deal, are we to assume town Solus has only bothered to look at his own situation and simply does not care about the thread's goings-on outside himself? Every time I look at this re-entry it looks worse

SolusLunes posted:the best reads come from other people casing you, because you already know your own alignment, which makes it easier to spot disingenuous cases Sorry but no. It’s genuinely terrible why? Math is bad because it could be used by scum or by town correct? So it’s an easy smokescreen to use. That doesn’t make it a faulty argument, just a null one. Annoying, sure, but not wrong. Here’s the thing about setup arguments. The argument, when based on setup spec is bad when we do not know the roles. With the exception of 3, we do here, it is completely viable in a wifom game to use roles to pinpoint intent based on how they are used since their natures themselves are null due to the game type. The argument, based on your direct actions, is a sound one, just a cold and calculating one. It isn’t lazy, and it certainly isn’t terrible.
