Some say I don't post much in this game. They're right. But that's because I want nothing to do with this dueling nonsense on D1, seems way too likely to be exploited by scum. If there are any investigative or protective roles, they could easily end up blocked by wounds and then we'll be at an enormous disadvantage.

Don't really have any reads on anyone yet either.

This is a scum post imo

If duels are fought at random (hello day 1!) then proportionally more town will get blocked than scum, which offsets the increased value of roleblocking scum vs town - from a mathematical standpoint it doesn't work.

It does sound like various people have various reasons to want to fight duels based on their role pms. For my part I have no duel-related mechanics so fighting them is an all round losing proposition, unless - I suppose - I happened to have a strong scum read and plenty of ki points to ensure a win

Not every town has a night action, and some of us get things when we win or lose!

The duels aren't random, either.

unless you get all the scum, they still get to do the nk right

Except whoever is the last scum who still has night actions will just not challenge or accept duels.

If we're trying some strategy to roleblock everyone then it would be obvious someone is refusing to participate, but:

1.) We clearly didn't do that.
2.) That would also lead to a lot of wounds, which I suspect would benefit scum.

The sole focus on mechanics with zero reads is bad yes, but I think half the thread is guilty on that point.

I don't really understand the Pmom argument; I'm only like 80% convinced on Punk but I'm going to ##vote Punk and hope for the best.

My gut read is Zoya but I don't have anything more convincing than "they seem slightly more defensive than before?" to back that up. Ugh. D1.

As you can see from where I parked my vote the entire day I'd prefer Maugrim. Also suspicious of Somber and Pmom, AFrancyQuesstionMark and mycelia for lack of content (I know they are both fairly new players but looks like they are having trouble getting out reads which sounds like newby scum, or scum in general have issues with that). Want to believe that Zoya and wologar are on my side.

i can't entirely blame you but you do have to admit that the dick-kicking was kind of funny, which is what's most important here, and absolutely would be punk's motivation over any kind of gameplay reasons

Rhymes With Clue posted:

I'm thinking about the PMom :bandwagon:

I have had a theory that when a turbo train stalls out like that, it's more likely that the turbo'd player is scum. Not a 100% rule but it's played out that way a few times.

PMom is not the only player I've seen who routinely claims VT early in a game. Someone called it "turbo bait" but the thing is, the votes piled on quick there for awhile. As they do.

I'm voting the player I'm most suspicious of and happy to keep my vote there, but I also haven't seen anything from PMom that says town and would switch there to avoid NL. But I would really prefer for folks to either vote Maugrim with me, or give some reasons why not.

Agreed on rwc there, but then rwc ultimately votes Punk so it feels less Relevant

Although I guess...

I'm kind of leaning away from Punkreas being scum. The more I think about the ability, pushing through a potential dayvig even after losing a duel is useful for town OR scum. And frankly, scum probably would have held that back to keep it a surprise.

Doubly so on a public ability that bites me back - it's a very loud ability that now everyone is very much aware of, and will be watched as such, but Scum absolutely want to get rid of it because my challenges will either a) risk them getting a wound (risk being that I could just use Ki, too, instead of getting increasing Dishonor stacks), or b) scare them away from the risk of wounding/death but give them Dishonor to later be used on them

Automatic wounds is absolutely disgraceful but it's also an incredible tool!

A lot has happened, any updates on your scum reads?

I'm trying not to be overly influenced by the setup angle here because there's going to be a contingent that disagrees with it no matter what. However that's what most of your content is sort of based around. Are you still thinking PA for scum? Others have voted you since, do any of those posters stand out to you?

I'd vote pretty much anywhere, I have no strong town reads as yet. Re the Punkreas thing I'm reminded how he got pretty far in Wizards Maf with a crazy attention getting self-voting role gimmick. Would he go for "too weird to be scum" twice? Maybe, since it worked before.

Yeah on a similar level to fancy questions where it's hard to process because it's such a nonanswer nothing.

The too scummy to be scum thing is a good point, Punk is a wildcard.

Not if you used it to murder scum. Why are you worried of how bad it'd look?
