Phoneposting


Quick clarification: by “healing potion” I meant “first aid kit”. I was phoneposting from memory at the time :350:

Second - the damage from the bite was less damage than the kit could heal, so I decided to hold off on it so as not to be wasteful (plus I used something else yesterday). Admittedly I wasn’t thinking about things like an impetuous buff when I made that call - if you think there’s no time like the present I can do it today.

Yup, go ahead and use it to top off.

This part is really important.

If you guys want to fob it off and not case and find any last scum, I will of course pick someone out for you to cuddle. I have my own leanings. But if you want to continue having the agency to find the scum that I've given you the last two days, now is the time. We have four flipped scum, a ton of battle results, etc. There is absolutely the information we need in this thread to find the last scum.

My access is going to be limited this weekend but I want to help. Off the top of my head:

- I know I’m town
- Kash / fl get an “implied town” pass from me
- I’m inclined to trust IS and Slaan due to heals
- I think tobbs is town based on how he’s played
- if tobbs is town I think Hats and YPM are town based on his results
- I think gamer is town from battle results

Of the people left - Sal, Hal, tq, genex - Sal is the person who has had the least to contribute (I don’t remember battle results off the top of my head but believes the others have all been in?).

Sal - if not you, who is scum and why?

I mean, cool, but this isn't really casing. It is absolutely a good first step to help decide who to focus on, sure. And it is one of many things I'm doing in the background with even more information. But among other things, you've listed a dead person as one of your people left. Also you seem to be putting the onus on finding scum on the least experienced person here. Which sure, is great if he's scum, but if he's not, isn't exactly going to yield huge dividends.

Also, I want to emphasize this from the rules:

quote:

== THE SCUM ==

Each thread has a SCUM faction allied with the TOWN in the opposite thread. These players have abilities that follow the same rules as above, but with some slight differences:
- Scum MELEE abilities may ONLY be used on THEIR OWN rank.
- Scum RANGED abilities may ONLY be used on the rank DIRECTLY IN FRONT OF THEM.

NOTE: Scum's battle abilities are a degree more powerful than town's. A Leader putting scum in battle is almost certainly going to have more casualties as a result.

Scum probably have tricksy things, so this isn't the be all and end all, but it does make me think that it is possible, that a scum in the front line, could attack the enemies front line(I am in the dark on this, but it makes sense to me and was one of the things I complained about in the last version of this game). So while YPM absolutely did a positive thing in this battle, he isn't clear for the war.

It makes more sense to try to do as much damage as possible as the last scum.

As for YPM, I still am waiting for DN to show up in the other thread. YPM targeted them, but I'd like to see a damage report.

Yeah I can hold my hand up and admit that this one particular weekend isn’t the best for me to be able to do stuff. I’m visiting a friend I haven’t seen in months and I doubt I’m going to have computer time before leaving here and going into work.

Re: casework, I think it’s Sal. I’m a strong believer in the idea that the game gets less fun for scum as more and more people get confirmed town, and I feel like we’re seeing that from him. The only reason to think battle is 2/3rd of the game is if “hunting for scum” isn’t on the list of things to do.

When I ask for his reads, it’s more to help determine his alignment than out of hope that he’ll drop a Gotcha! case on the last scum

FWIW, I'd be kind of surprised if an NK had happened. If for example, there was only one scum left like people have been theorizing, any NK would hard clear every single person in combat. The NK would act as a super cop for us. The only way I see it happening going forward is if we have two scum left, or an inexperienced scum, or someone who knows they are going out any moment and just wants to do as much damage as possible before they go. Having said that, I'd be really excited if they did.

I deliberately avoided commenting on the above just to see what happened. I figured if an NK happened it would point the finger pretty hard at only one or two people. The lack of NK just leaves us a bit in the dark. It's true, it could be because they were in combat. But it could also be because they are smart/good players and realized what that would do. So if you want to take something from the lack of NK, take that.

DN was NK'd and then didn't get healed, unless secretly by Bif. So he is confirming a hit there, but he's not necessarily saying he got hit hard, just that it was enough to bring him down the rest of the way. Which may not have been much.

YPM's own description of his ability is that it does middling damage. I was thinking that would be enough to seal the deal, but apparently not.

At this point MMT my give a gently caress is zero. I know my alignment. I'm town, if you think I'm scum vote for me, if you think I'm town vote for someone else. It's not fun being in a game where 2/3rds of it is not accessible. KB you have done a great job leading so don't take this as any insult to you.

I also agree that the lack of nightkill doesn't speak one way or the other about where the scum was last night.

YPM's target makes me feel nominally better because at least it shows he was telling the truth about that ability.

I, like MMT, think Sal is the correct vote for today from a content perspective.
