I’m a leopard seal.

The leopard seal, also referred to as the sea leopard, is the second largest species of seal in the Antarctic. Its only natural predator is the orca. It feeds on a wide range of prey including cephalopods, other pinnipeds, krill, fish, and birds, particularly penguins.

I mean it checks out.

This is a wol game so I fully expect five people to have vigs and none of them to get used.

I've just thought of something that doesn't require a lot of work and should work pretty well overall for making both of us more pro-town than not. If yuming agrees to only target the bottom-most poster each day, then I can kill them if they turn out to be inedible for her. I see one of two things coming out of this - one is that scum will have to pad their posts and they'll be more visible that way, the other is that should scum forget this, it'll result in them getting snared first by her and then killed by me so we can spend the rest of the day on looking for connections to that player. Any town that don't like this idea just have to post more and they won't fall afoul of it. In the event that this leads to town dying by my vig and there's no good explanation for that, she gets the boot.

I like this plan

looking at the posting of yuming and iggy,
yuming seems like she is acting on the side of town, being thorough with share of information, and so forth
iggy seems like he is being secretive, dodgy, i wouldn't be surprised if hes a 3-p if not scum with that alternative fish collection implication, can kill lurkers which directly threatens me a known low poster. ##vote iggy

It feels weird that you're setting up a dichotomy between them when they haven't really been fighting and they are my two most solid town reads.

Iggy's been getting better at scum but not "three times as many posts as anyone else" better I don't think, unless he's found some way to mentally trick himself into not caring if he dies.

fool of sound posted:

Not for killing hard lurkers but yes blindly murking the bottom poster each day is more likely to harm town than help it.

Yes the scum team can yell at each other to post so they don't get vigged, but then those posts can be used to make cases, plus the game is more active and fun

Maybe the plan can be out there encouraging people to post and then yuming can decide if she actually acts on it or not on a given night.

Say what you like but the plan is definitely in the spirit of a wol game. Maybe if the zookeeper likes what we do we'll get more fish!

I'm kind of assuming it's not going to happen at this point though.

There is actually no shortage of lurkers so far. I know I've been busy/coasting but I'm still somehow middle of the pack



Tsie has said he's busy as well, Hal and TMor are habitual D1 lurkers, wait why is Cube so quiet? Is he in a bunch of games?

This is what I'm talking about though. The lurking itself is non alignment indicative. But it sure makes it hard to get reads on the relevant people.

Rhymes With Clue posted:

So here's an idea that might help us GET MORE FISH

Everybody has a number in the OP. Use the letter of the alphabet that corresponds to that number as the first letter of your fish. Nobody uses somebody else's letter! There are lots of fish!

Like if you are #16 you can use P, and nobody else can.

It may be too late for this today but it's an idea.

Would work for early game, but once claims start getting out there I can see scum using this to prevent specific people recharging their powers. OTOH I guess there's an opportunity cost in that it's not guaranteed and scum don't get to charge their own powers when doing this.

(Also I already subbed my fish so it's too late)

8pm deadline huh, that will be earlier than some folks are expecting.

I don't think this was a joke vote, it was an "I am pinged by this post" vote and it made me wonder because I townread fos for the same post. But on the face of it it's an easy post for scum to look at and go "wow that looks like a lie doesn't it!"

Does that make any sense to anyone. Probably not.

SporkChan posted:

You think yuming is a cop, who will kill every town person she scans, and only fail on 3P or scum, and you want her to use that ability?

The opportunity cost is so high for that. It's not worth it. Especially since if she's wrong town is down a player immediately, and if she's right we still have to vote the person out.

Yuming is a threat, though probably not scum.

But Iggy being okay with that is and advising she keep using the ability is scummy.

##vote Iggy

Iggy collected a few apparently genuine votes over his vig plan and maybe it's just because I can't see him as scum at all but every one of them feels manufactured to me.

Having a terrible idea (assuming you think it such) isn't in itself a scumtell, indeed I would think scum would avoid putting themselves out there in this way.

I'll try to check in but I have plans for the rest of the day.

Of the two vote leaders I think Iggy looks worse, but also can most easily prove himself tomorrow, assuming scum didn't get a dayvig.

Molly had some posts I don't agree with, but she also agreed with me about the vig plan, which I find town-y.

I'm still voting Iggy, because I'm going to vote my reads, and not look at night action claims.

##vote Iggy

Mmmmmmm

Don't like Spork's post. Went from "I'm not going to vote Iggy, I'll give him space to prove himself" to "I still want Iggy to have space to prove himself tomorrow but I'm going to vote him anyway" and it feels tortured. Makes me more interested in voting molly actually, if she flips scum I think there's something to look at there.

I think Myc's flip means that either:
- HCT is non-scum

Shwin is normally pretty good at reading the sincerity of end-of-day protestations of innocence. After this post

mollyohreally posted:

I was somewhat confident Molly would flip town, but Shwin doubled down on scum reading her

shwinnebego posted:

spork's logic is bad but it's probably town

i'm increasingly confident that molly is scum tho

and then was quiet through the attempted swerve and execution.

Although, some of this argument was predicated on the assumption that spork was his scumbud, so I'll have to think about it more

CubicalSucrose posted:

If HCT is scum, then scum already know who non-scum are. There's not really much of a reason to tell scum "hey, player X is definitely town."

So it seems like HCT is probably not scum.

However, there could be a reason to tell scum "hey, player X is definitely town" and that's if there's some bullshit 3P shenanigans afoot. Consider the uhh...JS game with the triple survivor faction or whatever.

Or apparently whatever Yuming is.

I'm leaning more toward HCT being non-scum, since:

But it was close to deadline so that's not like, a super strong signal I guess. And I can see scumHCT pulling that move for towncred.

I guess I see your logic but I assumed these roles were written before the game started recruiting let alone before roles were handed out to players ("if HCT is in the game...") so the giving of the info would have no bearing on whether crab rolled scum or town.

Anyway, speaking of fish, I have an offer today. I can give someone a boon! I can only give out one today though, and you won't receive it until end of day, but I promise it's real nice to have. I realize I gotta prove that, but it's pretty expensive for me to hand out, so I need some fish to do it. Two fish, to be precise. If someone is willing to shake flippers on that I'll gladly give it to you. No rush though, we've got until end of day.

Does the boon give a night action? And if it does, does it require a fish to use? Right now I have two fish and no use for them.

Hm. Should maybe chase this one way or the other. Are you thinking of any game in particular, because that doesn't sound like the shwinn I've played with. He never buys my protestations, at least.

It's just an impression but I'll see if I can dig up any examples later.

(I was having Mafia dreams while being kicked by my son who was sleeping terribly because he has a stinking cold and I woke up at 2am thinking "my god! Shwin is scum!" and one should always trust their sleep solving imo)
