i am so glad you are not hugely incompetent capps

i think depending on the atmosphere of the game we can easily set a lights out day on d2 or d3 and steamroll through a bunch of suspects

shielding is bad, but i don't remember why

because i think it stops you from being able to loot efficiently or something

Then you get killed by the other thread's commander for being too good at scumhunting.

diqnol will forever live in the shame of killing his own scum-team off and i will pretend like i was playing a meticulous game and never let him forget it

keane's favorite sport is dodgeball because it involves pins, throwing balls and fancy footwork with none of the risk of killing toddlers by accidentally throwing bowling balls at their heads

Asiina posted:

I sent you my stats Opop please don't yell at me anymore.

I'm currently too hopped up on cold medication and lack of sleep to understand the rules.

I got off the plane this morning and nearly had a panic attack at the thought of having to drive for two more hours to get home. I slept for 3 hours at my parents house but that was like 3 hours in the last 36 hours so I'm pretty out of it.

Asiina made this first sentence in the middle of her honest-to-god-i-hate-flying-post; I doubt she would have been in any mood to be lying about understanding the rules. So I don't understand how Asiina came to her decisions to put her stats in. Asiina, I'd like you to clarify this. Did your scum-team just tell you what numbers to submit?

Null on Apo for now.

Brazen Apothecary posted:

that's just what scum would say

Brazen Apothecary posted:

back, desert specialist. seriously.

I doubt scum in this thread would lie to go to the desert missions considering that's where we're weak yeah? Also Brazen seems calm enough to be joking about scumhunting/finger-pointing, she's unstressed and unlikely to be scum!

Fat Samurai posted:

Remember that the other thread chooses the raid area this time, so having a good variety of dudes will be good. Especially non-shielded ones so half our thread doesn't get swallowed by worms on the first battle.

Me? I'm a coward and shouldn't be in battle at all, but I could man the front lines in a pinch, I guess.

Similar logic to above, I don't think Fat Samurai would be passive as scum to join in battle. I assume there's a mechanic that lets scum on a mission/battle fight with their respective teams, so yeah.

GulagDolls posted:

drat, im going to get 0 stats, and then die and lose on purpose, as i am spy for the enemy army. i believe that is how this game works

Gulag ... might be a bad guy.

Hal Incandenza posted:

Probably exactly what you think it is!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Actually it's a lovely little arena that is entirely decorated with terrible corn macrame pictures of people panning for gold and poo poo on the outside. At least that is what I imagine, it was actually being completely redone when I went by it.

Hal isn't trying to offset any bad guy guilt by pretending to scumhunt, nor is he laying low. Hal's probably town this game.

King Burgundy posted:

This made me laugh. Thanks. :)

KB, I'm surprised you're so quiet about the game so far. No ideas or thoughts to help Capps, even though you always try to break things down logically?

In my group right now

Thread leaders are told who the other thread's scum team are. and we can even send them messages at night.

I was hoping that this wasn't the case because then I/you/our town could try to distract Diqnol from effectively weighing his odds on who to send into battle.

Ernie.
Aug 31, 2012

Hey Ixtlilton, you better be ready to be my enemy in battle. I've picked you because your hatred for Diqnol isn't strong enough.

apostateCourier posted:

But seriously Ernie you clearly have thoughts on everyone else in the list, but literally nothing on me? That seems odd.

You've done nothing so far either way. Pointing out that random chance cuddles hurts town more than scum is a neutral comment, as is everything else you've done in this game.

Ernie.
Aug 31, 2012

Before I respond, I'd like to ask you, leader Capps, for permission to try a new mafia playstyle. Y/N?

apostateCourier posted:

Break down some posts, humor me.

I just broke down your most worthwhile post in the thread so far. I refuse to engage you as long as your posts have no motivation to be read off them other than 'make posts in this here mafia game'. You really want me to divine a read on you when you've done nothing indicative of alignment so far? Look at the other things I pointed out about people and see if you've managed to fall into either playstyle I expect to find in my scumhunting.

Uhhhh guys in ernies camp vote for him I highlighted a scumslip.

You're welcome

apostateCourier posted:

"Where we're weak," taken to mean as "where scum is weak."

Ernie, just curious what did you mean by that comment?

You stupid buttfaces, you think

a) I am scum
b) as scum I discovered that my scum-team is weak in the desert because of our nefarious abilities being weak in the sand
c) I decided to plainly tell the thread this while knowing it isn't public knowledge because I wanted to call esteemed player Brazen Apothecary town as part of my dastardly plan
d) and that this goes against all mechanical sensibility since two lines below i highlighted what the actual power scum would have should be

and that this is all more likely than

a) i read this thread and guesstimated how people stacked their stats
b) 'we' is about the thread not about the scum-team, because who in their lifetimes has ever said 'we, the scum-team, are weak this game' jesus loving christ

Ernie.
Aug 31, 2012

now let me actually build momentum on somebody

gulag is scum this game; he's possibly the only player in this game who dislikes diqnol more than i do, and his first serious post in the game scum-claimed

i get the feeling that while i was lucky enough to have merk in my thread i am was probably unlucky enough for him to be scum in my thread

i don't think so

i remember him once saying he wanted to win two games by making the exact same posts in both games - him being comfortable to try that in this game probably means he doesn't care about other things like being scum yeah?

Aug 31, 2012

i think brazen and pmach are obviously town

i am a little suspicious of little mac because his posts seem more motivated by being on capps's good side than anything else

Ernie.
Aug 31, 2012

king burgundy is also not scum for reasons i really don't want to get into but i'm sure capps agrees with me

in my group that leaves

gulag who is obviously motivated by being gulag and doesn't care about anyone else's survival

i think fat samurai has been 100% more blunt than anyone else in our group when it comes to being honest about his combat abilities and also playing the mafia angle and not at all being strictly into one for nefarious reasons

i forget all of the things i used to think about 100yrs, but i know for a fact that he has conscious motivations like 'oh i replaced into game, better make a ton of reads and then find out my role' so i'm not sure we can take any value whatsoever in his recent posts

apo's 'ernie freaks me out' posts ring a little like they're trying to get me/the thread on his side, more than being an actual thought process someone holds privately; i made no special effort to hide my thoughts about him and he knew that

finally hal seems like he's enjoying the game but he's hiding bad guy motivations of sabotaging missions behind that joy, but i've really been hard on hal lately so i don't know if i want to vote that way

in my group right now if i had to put a vote, it'd be apo > hal > 100yrs, and i'm actually not willing to vote anyone else out of the group out

if i'm allowed to break rank, i think little mac is transparently a bad guy however

Ernie.
Aug 31, 2012

sure

Little Mac posted:

I've wanted to vote natx since the beginning. I don't really want to vote for anyone in my list because they're all cool dudes. If this were a normal mafia game then sure, newbie armor. This game isn't normal though so it's not like he's going to get the real experience from this anyway.

##vote natx

this post feels very off to me, it comes right when capps is really pushing everyone to vote natx and it's specifically trying to break down the only problem people would have with a natx vote (newbie armor)

it's very momentum-directing and aye-my-leader-ish

Ernie.

Little Mac posted:

From my list: would vote natx because who?

this ... doesn't really invalidate anything i just said because it might as well have been a joke (it's obvious it wasn't - its effect was the same no one is going to take it seriously)

that said i think if you and i go down this road we will just end up becoming more resolved in disproving the other one wrong and i've anyway changed my opinion of you

little mac what do you think of apostate and hal
