Merk, if you were on a two man surprise SK team where you had to use breadcrumbs and code to coordinate your kills, who would you pick from this thread to be your partner and why?

Who are the scum?

A better answer than your last answer Merk, although not enough to fully erase the inadequacies of the first, so the final question:

What would you do differently if you were leader so far?

Capps said to vote for the most inactive person in your group and I figured I was likely it. I normally won't self vote, but since there is no risk of hammer I figured I'd follow his instructions to the letter.

I'm around now though, so I'll try to contribute.

This is pretty dumb and I hate it.

:siren: MERK :siren:

I asked you who you would want your partner to be in a two man sk team, mostly to observe how you deal with being forced to make a connection between yourself and others. It is my theory that because scum do not like to draw connections with people, either because it might confirm town or implicate scum when they flip, they will answer connection questions in a strange way. You chose the ONLY confirmed town we have. Which mean, if you were scum and if you were to flip, that connection could not confirm town or implicate scum.

I kind of wanted to hop on, but

a) I'm honoring capps's voting request, and

b) I don't see great cases on the latter alphabet side of things, and

c) enough votes are out that two people are going to be lynched anyway.

The strongest latter-alphabet case so far is on n-whatshisname, but like I said, in this thread and outside of this thread, I'm just hesitant to lynch a newbie straight off the bat. Names are escaping me, but there are a couple folks on the other side I'd be willing to vote for.

First off:

What?

Second off:

Please enlighten me why you wanted to hop on the vote. What was enticing about it?

Propaganda Machine posted:

capps is our king and should be respected.

He acts silly sometimes but his reads seem to be pretty good in general. He said if the two main suspects are on one side or the other, he'll allow side-breaking. Besides, splitting us up like this is forcing conversation and cases. He got accused of stifling a case, but overall I think this works to our benefit.

I'll honor that, okay? We have, like, two more real life days to sort this out.


I thought it was an interesting point that scum will avoid connections, for the reasons you stated. It's also pretty hilarious that he picks the king as his SK buddy.

But...

I think that sort of case is a lot more salient later on in the game, when you can use it a lot more clearly to pin down the actual scum.

So, like, say you're merk. As you said, if he's scum, he's going to avoid scum connections as they'd be damning on a flip, and he will avoid town connections as they'd be damning/revealing given a town flip.

But say you're town. Any given person you pick as the partner may in fact be scum, and the scum doc could easily use that to bus you.

So at this point, whether he's scum or town, capps is kind of the correct choice for that particular question.

Anyway it was a decent point worth thinking about.

Wait so you were going to vote Merk because he may or may not have been town or scum when answering that question?

RE: natx

1) it's his first game (according to votefinder). Newbies make dumb and stupid posts all the time where they try to generate fake content because they are dumb and stupid and don't know what is going on or how to play

2) he has like four posts and I don't like lurker lynches day 1. Lurker lynches give nothing to discuss or dissect other than "yep we lynched a lurker"

mr.capps posted:

its a double plurality vote, even if you don't want to lynch natx the scum are in the inactive players, this is a fact

I actually don't disagree with that statement. But day 1 is barely about lynching scum. It's more about arguing and building a foundation for future days. There is almost no foundation built by lynching a lurker.

Also again your analysis is that a newbie made an inconsistent post. They do that sometimes. My case is that PM tried to hop on a dumb and dead case on Merk. While there is merk fear, I don't think that it would be with townies this early. Plus, as others have mentioned, her posting just feels off.

can you explain how that post makes since from a "town newbie" perspective.
because you are right, newbies do make dumb and stupid posts, and this looks like a scum newbie.

From my experience in my first town game, I didn't have any real reads. So I literally made reads up that I didn't believe in so that I could "contribute". This is a huge game with complicated mechanics. I would be more surprised if his posts didn't have inconsistent reasoning.
