Yorkshire, will you consider this game a success if you kill less than 3x as many people as the SK?

I will kill as many people as I have to as long as the scum is one of them.

SSV, Slam, CC, Hats, and me are not garbage. What have you contributed? Why are you so defensive?

Probably because he has five votes for him off of someone claiming that he redirected the game to shitposting, when he was literally responding to an infinitum post that was aimed to get the thread back to shitposting.

In any case ##vote Glowku

The man is literally claiming to be the SK. Even in the case where he's town this is unhelpful to the game.

Slam's case is not why I'm voting Stickup. Slam's case is a nothing sandwich. I voted Stickup because I really just wanted to add pressure. But the tiny amount of pressure on him made him go into defensive mode. Why would he care if I think he's a shitposter? He's been shitposting all game! He only cares because he's scum that sees a tiny amount of pressure on him and is overtly worried it will lead to his murderlynch

Oh that makes sense.

I mean if the same thing happened to me I'd probably go defensive because I want to play the game.

uh, okay. if you think I'm town, you shouldn't want to lynch me under any circumstances

I have cased infinitum for incredibly obvious meta reasons, which granted you would not know, and am leaning scum on ypm. my vote on glowku had already been discussed (I'm all for a nice scum claim early in joke phase, but beyond a point it will muddy the waters). I don't have a read on glowku either way, but keane laid out my thoughts pretty well

if I really wanted to lynch glowku, my vote would still be there, and we would still be tied. my alignment has no bearing on glowku's, nor his on mine. why do you want to set up his or my lynch in advance?

Because I was presented with an option of you with five votes, him with four and don't want to see you lynched? So I opted for something I assumed would potentially persuade people to lynch the person I think is less likely to be scum.

Also because I just want the day to be over because serious mode day 1 is really boring.

##unvote I feel better about Stickup now.

##vote york

As well as the scummy chain lynch push, I have a hunch that he was pushing stickup as town earlier because he knows how he's going to flip.

Wait wait.

I can understand wanting to lynch me for the first part, so feel free to stick to your vote.

But I have a few questions relating to the second part.

If I know how stickup is going to flip because I'm scum and he's town, why the hell do I defend him instead of just dogpiling and waiting for the hammer?

If both of us are scum why are you feeling better about stickup?

I feel like he's faking it because you said he's been in a couple games so surely at this point he'd understand why a scum player may defend a town player.

Okay.

There are a bunch of ways to refute this.

But the easiest is this. The scum team presumably has experienced players on it right? And they can communicate outside of the game. I assume that there's no limit on the amount of communication.

I'm new. Were I scum I would run literally every post I make by my teammates first before doing anything.

The play you're mentioning seems really obvious. To the point that an experienced scum player would probably tell me not to make it.

Given that it seems unlikely that I'd make a play that would obviously make me suspiciously scum with other scum players to advise me on it.

I've seen scum players coast to victory on "I'm so new, what does this mean?" so it's not hard to believe. Also why are you able to identify the fact that a scum player would be coaching a newbie but not able to conceive why a scum player would defend town without having it explained?

Because all I'm doing is trying to imagine what I would do in a situation were I to be scum. When I asked you the question about why I would defend someone as scum, I'd considered the idea of making yourself look good. But it seems insanely, insanely risky to me, to the point that I found it implausible. Honestly, I didn't think it would be the go to argument.

This isn't a case of "I'm new so what does this mean?" It's a case of "I'm new so there are aspects of the metagame that are based on experience that I'll miss because I've not encountered them."

Or more often in my case, "I'm new so I'm going to try this, oh poo poo it makes no sense."

The lesson I've learned here is don't dismiss things because it turns out someone has done poo poo like that in the past.
