Andy's tone in this game is super-emotive with little solid analysis. It's pinging my gut because I know he's a smart guy capable of good logical thinking. I think he's hiding behind emotive language on purpose to excuse himself from serious scum hunting.

Hang on Magnus, your claim makes zero sense. What's the point of adding an extra fuel if you're immediately going to dayvig one of the people who gets the fuel? Passing fuel is a night action so there's zero fuel gain for town.

If his claim is truthful - and I don't see why he'd lie about it, since it's sure to be tested at some point, and dayvigs are verifiable - I imagine the logic for including it is that kilran was worried the game might tip in the Scum's favour if they managed to grab up too much fuel and the Town can't use our powers as much as he'd intended. So Mags would then be the balancing factor... if he uses his power, then the Scum either have to let us have all the fuel (at the expense of sacrificing one of ourselves) or else risk having one of their team vigged.

It also just adds a layer of WIFOM to the game... lets us play the "Four Brave Townies" thought experiment if we want without having to waste a lynch. Or whatever.

The fact that the vig must be used and that the fuel taken by the victim is lost seems an intended part of the role, as it means that the actual amount of fuel obtained in a day doesn't change.

I'm not doubting the veracity of the claim, I'm doubting that it's a town role. It screams 3P to me. Also, I don't like how Magnus said that we'd be able to have the fuel transferred before he uses his vig.

Actually, it does. When you forage, you pick the initial recipient of the FUEL.

6.2 FUEL is foraged on a first come, first serve basis and each player may only use the Day Action ONCE per day.

6.3 Players with FUEL may be able to utilise it. Any player with FUEL may give it to another player as a Night action.

The way I interpreted this, the PM sent in 6.1 can be sent immediately, and is separate from the ability to send fuel referenced in 6.3.

Gut here: You're in a game where it will be frowned on if you get mean, so giving yourself a flavorful reason to be flashily obtuse feels like it serves scum-merk meta agendas more than it does town-merk meta agendas.

Remind us why you're voting for me?

Contrary to popular belief, merk isn't really that mean. He will call out bad play, bad logic, but rarely makes personal insults. He can play nice, so he doesn't need to play the way he has to avoid being mean.

That said, being willfully vacuous in posting is never a town way of approaching the game.

I'm saying that I still think QPQ is scummy as articulated. It is also true that Xopods made a point against QPQ that is the kind of point I would definitely have made as scum if there was steam going on a townie. I considered making exactly xopods' point but I couldn't convince myself that it was on the right side of twisting theories to suit facts vs. the other way around.

I don't think there's any evidence that they're scum together, if anything it's seeming to me more like a one of but not both situation. QPQ is my current frontrunner. I'm watching xopods more carefully.

You're the third person to say that xopods was twisting things by not considering QPQ's later posts. What am I missing? xopods made a read that his early posting was needlessly ambiguous; while I disagree with it, I don't see how that point is invalidated by later posts to the point that he's scummy for making it.

What's key is that if you don't know about the vig, you might take the FUEL for yourself and then it's lost when you get killed. Unless the vig's made public, there's nothing to let people know that they can't keep the FUEL for their own use.

We're not allowed to be mean this game, not even to each other. It's for his own protection.

Seriously, though, he was posting nothings until I agreed with Magnus on him, and literally was posting more within minutes of my comments on his lurking/white noise. Town can lurk. Town rarely lurk yet keep up to date on the thread.

I concede some of the semantics, but baseless vaguely personal standard mafia aggression is certainly a tool in merk's toolbox, even if it doesn't manifest itself in the way some other players get "mean" -- cultivating something else to draw from so you can be obtuse at will seems like it serves a scum agenda more than a town one.

I disagree that he purposefully left things as ambiguous. I don't disagree that if you take that impression of his posting, later posts don't really invalidate the posts made, so while I disagree with your case I don't think it comes from a scum perspective.

His posting is bad because it avoids engaging, but I don't think it's to avoid being mean. It's just to avoid the game in total. Like I said, it's rarely a town move to avoid making content-based posts, so I think we agree on that, just disagree on the why. You think it's because of the rules, I think it's likely some else since he can play within the rules easily as scum.

You misunderstand. I don't think xopods is scummy for that reason.

The argument that QPQ's "non answer" of "it's as serious as it could be at that point" was maliciously crafted so that either interpretation could be hammered on as "the obvious one" later on is plausible but it just doesn't ring true to me. I still think QPQ is scummy for having any amount of serious in that vote and that's enough of a case for me.

What I'm saying is that xopods' point is exactly the kind of thing I would say to fuel a fire on a townie getting steam built up on him -- I don't think he's twisting things by ignoring later posts, I'm just saying this point doesn't pass a smell test for me, but I wouldn't hesitate to make it if I was looking for something jump on a townie for.

That's the thing about this game though. Posts don't occur in a vacuum. When you pointed out your scummy post there were other posts to be examined/considered. I think those posts negate the scumminess of the post you highlighted. You ignore those posts in your original vote post. almost like you're looking for a scummy post to latch on to rather than trying to find evidence of a scum player.
