maybe consider the similarities: in both cases cpig exploited my claim to vote me off the bat

opop is another player who always calls my bullshit, and he has done no such thing

That's an interesting Cpig vote, but doesn't he troll constantly? Why would he care what would happen either way? Also Opop totally called you out.

That and his preceding post are what I agree with completely. I'm actually kinda surprised how much people ran with it to be honest.

Yeah, QPQ reads to me like scum who is jumping on a townie and trying to get him dunked for a few awkward posts.

I feel like it'd be too obvious an attack for scum to dare attempt this early in the game, but perhaps lights out makes one more gung-ho. As it is it fits in my meta for qpq, or maybe I'm thinking quidnose. Either way.

Ernie wrote it baly, but I read it as him saying "Opop didn't try to get a vote on me and instead called me on my bullshit". Bad phrasing on Ernie's part.

I only have two games behind me but in at least one of them CPig did this same move to try to catch tagalong scum. Not sure if he's in earnest here.

Take a look at his avatar text. Someone spent $10 to tell us that Pig bein' Pig. Pig is always being Pig and in my experience it usually gets him lynched early.

I'm torn on Ernie because it could be a joke, or it could be a legitimate stupid 3pslip, but him coming back and saying "lol it was a joke", which he's going to do, doesn't take it back. We can't know for sure now and I am going to operate under the assumption that Ernie is 3P from now on.

I don't like this post. To assume he's going to say it's a joke but still be willing to vote him off is pretty mean spirited and not in town's interest.

Why necessarily? Executing a 3P wastes our only kill opportunity and doesn't advance our goal to eliminate the scum. I know that 3P can go and may often side with the scum, but this early on they're as much a threat if not more so to them than they are to us since we still have a huge numerical advantage.

To Ernie:

Ernie. posted:

he was scum there, but his reaction is consistent throughout our histories of playing together where he simply calls bullshit on my shenanigans (i'm too lazy to find an example when he was town)

Not finding an example kinda weakens your point but it (your point) still stands. I'm curious as to your take on Winvirus's vote on you, which he's kept there. His vote was the briefest and least explained and the fact that that was all we heard sits badly with me.

Ernie. posted:

has done no such thing: didn't exploit it to vote me!

This doesn't make sense, why would Opop exploit a joke claim on your part to vote you? The way I read his comment was you are NOT 3P, and he hasn't made a call on your scumminess or towniness. I read amoeba's explanation and I still don't get it.

This game's executions will be in the Lights Out format. Upon the first player reaching enough votes to be executed, the deadline will change to 24 hours from hammer. Upon the second execution, the deadline will again reset to 12 hours from hammer. Then 6 hours, then 3 hours, and so on in that fashion. When a deadline is reached without a majority vote, or when the town hammers ##no hang, the day will end, all executed players will be flipped, and night will begin.

killing a benign 3p doesn't keep us from killing more people, but does get scum a bit closer to their wincon.

players who've played with me fewer times might be tricked by the sincerity that i display when i fake-claim at the beginning of my games, but by now he's seen me do it 30+ times, there's no chance he took it seriously

I felt tentative about this earlier. And I still don't know about Cpig, he's the sort of player I have a lot of trouble reading and his voting of Jedit just sort of confirms that for me. But this is a poor defense:

Also, you were dead right in our last game and I still feel pretty bad about that, especially since I went after you specifically finding fault in your meta-case.

The point of that comment is that no matter what Ernie says, there will still be doubt about his alignment all game, because backpedaling with "it was a joke" is a non-conclusion for any claim -- you can't unring a bell.

What I disliked about it was the assumption that he was going to say he was joking. Myself and others, like Opop, figured it was a joke from the get go. Here it reads like you know it was one too but you jumped in anyway.

As for the hypocrisy, while you don't say Ernie said things he didn't, you are being really hard on him for a Day 1 joke post especially if it's going to cloud your judgement in regards to him the rest of the day. I'd say that's harsh in light of his motives.

Not going to verify that. But I'm not voting you for your vote on Jedit, that for me is proof that you're doing your usual thing, which I can't really understand. It's more for saying that you don't think people were playing seriously when in fact they were.

While there are of course exceptions, Lynch All Third Parties is generally a good plan because

A) By definition, they don't win with the town. In the case of the win condition Ernie joked about, even if he's scum hunting he's also doc/cop hunting. In that thought experiment, what would you do if he found out who the doc is then outed them in the thread? It's in his best interests obviously, would you want to lynch him then? Then why not lynch him now before that becomes a problem?
B) Very often a third party is lies and is actually more anti-town than they claim.
C) It's not like the day is wasted, there's still lots of good conversation to scum hunt in.

Of course, this is all probably null and void given that ernie claims that isn't his real win condition, so just use this as a ~teaching moment~.

Okay, but I'd still like you to vote CPig if you find him scummy, not based on a case I made. This feels weird because this is exactly what I'd like to be able to do but I feel like it's both unearned and it's making me feel weaker about my read.

As for winnie, he just hasn't really said anything yet for me to have a read. It feels like a typical winnie post where he just peaces out after the lightest of reading.

I come and go but I wouldn't call myself completely new at it. I'm a naive optimist by nature and I tend to trust the people I like when playing this game, especially when there's so little to go on such as

Day 1. Also I try not to be such a cynic in life and so I like to believe people are town until proven otherwise. I know the rules dictate this to be impossible but I did mention my reasons to trust Ernie enough in this situation.


Quandary posted:

Is the handwaving the part about not being understand Cpig's play style? Because I really can't read people who play irreverently without much pattern to their posts. It always throws me off. But he said something that just reads completely false and lying is key to a scum game.
