So, the most-votes lynch rules means that scum basically get a free pass because they can +1 votes as required, but obviously would want to avoid dog piling a single candidate because it makes them easy pickings end game. Interesting.

Not sure if we should start with no-vote until we have data to pinpoint scum? Or, if we all roll a random number, and assuming scum still avoids piling a single candidate, we could still get a d1 data lynch without letting scum have too much sway?

Ideas? Thoughts?

And to clarify that's really random not selectively random, you'd have to stick with what you get to avoid creeping bias. If we're going to bias the roll we may as well turbo Anidav now. Or kill nobody

This vote just tripped all of my sensor arrays, why vote on a silent player when silence on D1 is a modkill? It seems scummier than wmb's vote on Fruity which my onboard AMD* flagged as a "jokevote"

If she can't play then she ain't playing. If D1 is a stab in the dark stab the person who doesn't want to be there. If she wants to counter that by saying her situation has changed and she is actually playing now I'll find another solution.

possible explanations:

1) scum
2) just flinging poo poo at a woman, because soag

so, milky moor, gwynplaine and avs are still yet to vote. i will withhold my vote for now, but will vote for whichever of these three will break a tie before hammer, so that only one person gets lynched today

alternatively, i will happily vote for soag for what should be pretty obvious reasons

actually, in a plurality game where tied lynches are possible and where town is very likely to have useful night actions, the much scummier action is to try to undermine the bandwagon, because that is much more likely to force a tie. scumhunters: look at people who are jumping off the splode train, look at people who are voting for the second and third placers

Yes, and Seagull also argued against the Splode train, but I don't think it's fair to claim that much credit or miscredit I guess for not-knowing something a townie couldn't know.

I think b_t has questions about her but not as many questions as others.

I'm running off my notes and I noticed I missed something on ken I corrected so sorry if there is anything else I missed it's an accident.
Avshalom and WMB left the Splode train to pursue the double lynch for Milky, which is anti-town behaviour even if you aren't lifting another candidate up high enough so someone can un-hammer a scum bro. I still have questions about how/where WMB knew Avs wasn't going to be in.
Mith, Ken also pulled out of the Splode vote to chase Milky
Birdstrike pulled out of the Splode vote last minute to throw a vote towards Avshalom, I don't think there is anything inherently wrong with pursuing another candidate but changing last minute off a flipped scum should raise questions.

Non-voters:
Uber
busb
Gough


TOML I think did the wrong thing for the right reasons, pulling out of a Splode vote to prevent a double-lynch but he couldn't know he was actually going for the townie
Fruity I think did the right thing for the wrong reasons, throwing out a correction for TOML's withdrawl to ensure the double lynch and getting a scum in the process.

This is a great point (in bold).

But are you defending TOML? He also left Splode off his list of non voter which now looks pretty bad.

I made a correction on Birdstrike I saw his vote for Avs but didn't notice a much earlier unvote. It is still a tiny bit suck but not as bad as I thought originally - I don't think it's wrong to vote for people you have genuine concerns about, it was only a weird change in context of Splode being scum and the (incorrect) thought that it was a last-minute pullout.

TOML is two steps forward one step back, I am defending someone for trying to act consistently to what he said earlier in the day (prevent a double lynch) and act in town's interests (prevent a double lynch) even though it turns out they weren't on the right train. He couldn't know that, but his reasoning is just.

Yes indeed I think we have a winner. If you don't read all my work below, this is the main point here: I think TBK is the scummiest.

I think we've drawn off a lot of the same information but come to a few different conclusions, I think because you read into the posting in a bit more detail than I have. I have also ranked Zets and Tirade effectively neutral - neutral for being Mid-Splode train and Zets gets a pico-neg for his joke Anidav vote.

I have Bif and Gwyn on positive for early and stayed Splode voting. I hope Gwyn plays a little more this game though.

I have wmb as one of my scummiest ranked players and would be keen to test this, but I am very very very much open to other ideas with more evidence or consideration. I don't have a much better read on ken than "pulled out of Splode to Milky" and while that is poo poo I would need to recheck all the other allegations against him before feeling confident enough to throw a vote.

If players are willing to cause multi-lynches and suss votes then if they don't work out they are accountable for their actions. Giving 'veto' power to one or two players is liable to backfire unless we are really certain of their alignment. Leading a lurker lynch is not a huge pass.

This too. Trying to deal with plurality by introducing a new set of rules might introduce new and different problems that are harder to counter than just playing plurality.

All those people detracting have a look at ALL of these posts, not just cherry pick the one post that doesn't even detract from my argument.

These are not the posts of a person that doesn't want to lynch a scum.

Pushing for the split vote early is also NOT a scummy position to take in light of the flip. a 1 scum for 1 town trade is decidedly in the town's favour.

Birdstrike wasn't on Splode, so his voting for Avy had no effect whatsoever on the Splode lynch.

I don't know what it means but I don't think it's necessarily as straightforward as that. busb is a better player than this. Either he's deliberately changing it up to throw us (me specifically since I had to beg and plead for him to throw some supportive comments in deathmatch) or he's legit concerned that we're going for the wrong guy.

I've re-read and I think there is more merit in the Ken argument that I originally gave credit.

I would feel okay voting for ken for noise posting and throwing his weight onto a few trains but ultimately chasing Milky.

I am open the possibility that I misread TOML and there was more suspicious activity in his pull-out than I originally gave credit for.

I also want to open for consideration Coq for casting a mean vote at Fruity, throwing a poo poo vote at Tirade for voting Anidav (which he didn't even leave it there) and soft-fishing for power roles this morning by encouraging speculation on how we avoided night kills.
