Bard: I don't recall promoting refusing to suicide as scummy, or even saying "all good townies would suicide under pressure", so while I have a better understanding of your objections to what I proposed now, it seems like you're putting words into my mouth. I still maintain that it would be useful in a "hey, the entire town agrees this guy looks terrible and he's at L-1 five hours into the day" situation, hence why I cited Sana Spice. If I was town and had absolutely no way out of getting lynched but did have the option of dayvigging myself (and only myself), then I would definitely do so to deprive scum of their NK.

...however, further thought after I wrote that response made me realize that letting scum know you can suicide would make them less willing to push you if you're an obvious target unless they were confident the person who'd get lynched after you was a townie, making it worthless in the first place, so yeah, I see your point. Nevermind about claiming who can seppuku.

Will wait for you to catch up before responding to you about Shadoweh.

So Shadoweh, you're saying that you have absolutely no other comments in regards to the game until Hero is dead?

Sooo on huh what. I'm not sure I like the way he jumps on Hero. Reasons do not feel entirely strong - for one, the accusation of "buddying" seems to be a stretch, since I don't see how Scum!Hero would benefit by "buddying" without pursuing the same target. Having similar-looking reasons doesn't necessarily imply buddying, as people do tend to think there are major differences between X and Y, even when X and Y are almost the same.

I don't like how after his voteswap he adds a proviso to justify jumping back on to me, which seems like a pointless exercise if I do not, in fact, post. The accusation that my words are reasonable on the surface but follow a scummy agenda is one I echo in response to his suggestion of Town Extra Lynches, so I'm not sure what to think of that.

On Shadoweh, my opinion doesn't change overmuch. I do wish she'd do more to assuage suspicions of scumminess rather than just going "He's town trust me I'm an expert", but one day I will roll dayvig and justice will be, as they say, sweet. I admit to amusement huh what keeps copying that line of mine. (omg buddying) As ever, Shadoweh tries to be dominant in conversation, but I'm never sure if this is scummy of her or not: mind, Shadoweh plays Pro-Town even as Scum.

Quote
BT is right about your stances, your attacks on me are a faulty PoV argument and that Shadoweh vote is a prod which becomes worthless if she does explain her vote. None of your attacks have any real lasting power, it's all just pressure on people for playing in a manner that can be construed as "weird". It gives me the impression that you're looking for bad town play to pick at instead of hunting scum, and that's a scum approach to D1.

Similarly I dislike this argument. The assertion that my attack (singular) on him is borne solely of a difference in point of view, where as above my problem was that the presentation of the idea presents an agenda more beneficial to scum which I suspected he was following by suggesting the idea. It was either naive Town or sneaky Scum, and in any case I do not automatically default to naive Town with players of Huh What's calibre. That he seriously raises the point that my very first post does not in fact contain a strong condemnation of scum that cannot be refuted by argument strikes me as weird furthermore, as nearly all accusations against scumminess can be refuted in some way or the other until you do, in fact, catch scum in the act.

And, to add further fuel to the problem, I accused Shadoweh similarly of a words to content ratio that was bad. To generalise my problem with her to "omg prod for her vote" is bad in my eyes, as I voted her at the time for placing what she declared a "jokevote" in spite of serious discussion, and made claims without backing up said claims. In the first line here, he actually mirrors my sentiment, so I'm further confused by his vote.

Fair point, but my problem with you wasn't "point of view", it was promoting an idea that is more beneficial to scum than to Town, since to any leek the accusation that "a real Townie wouldn't obstruct Town" would sound real and fantastic. I evaluated what possible results your suggestion could have and decided it benefited scum more than town.

tl;dr Huh What is scummy to me for pressing a weak argument in response to someone suspecting him, which reeks more of OMGUS than anything, and for asserting a pro-scum plan.




On Hero I can be brief.

What the actual active lurking fuck. Would be willing to lynch.

Me either, but I'm using to thinking people are scummy without being sure why, so! :3

On that note, Bard, isn't the only other person voting Shadoweh... okay, the other vote on her is Hero, so! If you aren't sure you can return by day end, might you entertain a voteswitch to Hero?

I said  was considering Hero as potentially buddying me because it unnerved me that he randomly defended against a case on me doing something that he appeared to later go on to attack... though he later revealed he -wasn't- attacking Shadoweh when arguing with her even though that's where his vote is, so the buddying point is invalid right now anyway. Right now I'm more interested in voting him because if he wasn't voting Shadoweh seriously then what the fuck was he supposed to be doing over the course of the last few pages?

Bard, the reason I jumped on you is because both your attacks in your first post seemed weak to me, and it made me think you were going for easy stuff like prod votes that you could push if they became popular but also jump off of easily in the day if they didn't. I never thought Shadoweh was calling her Schezo vote a joke, just referring to how she didn't use her jokevote against Schezo and needed to switch, which is what made me think your case look like a prod. My stance on "imposing reads against others without backing them up at all" is that it should be frowned upon as scummy but really isn't in the current metagame on this forum because townies keep doing it when they should probably stop. That line you mentioned was venting frustration, not attacking people as scummy. That said, your expansion on your thought processes regarding Shadoweh and myself seems understandable enough that I'm willing to drop this.

The rest I can't really refute properly. I considered your attack on me a "PoV argument" because I assumed that people are smart enough to not do stuff like call players scummy for not instantly suiciding, so I thought bringing the idea up was viable and not scummy. I guess it's more like optimism vs. pessimism.

As for the BT case, I'm having a hard time following it, since from what I can tell it doesn't boil down to "Serela is useless" so much as "Serela is smokescreen by abusing his meta". At the same time, I don't actually agree with BT's Serela case, since I think Serela has evidently been trying to improve since last game even though his play is kind of crazy, which means that he's not trying to get away with an exact repeat of last game in terms of laziness. If Serela never tried to improve then we'd probably be seeing stuff like "I'm a Vanilla Townie. :/ * gets tracked * no wait I'm actually a Kevorkian Doctor Jesus", and if that actually happens in this game I will be forced to contemplate trueclaim-suicide for my own good.

This is like the third time you've overhyped me as a player while attacking me. I'd think you'd have come to the conclusion that I'm Serela levels of bad at this game by now after saying stuff like this. :ohdear:

Are you claiming I've said nothing about anyone else in my previous posts? That's what it sounds like you're doing.

Bard, I have explained why I think people are town. Saying I haven't repeatedly is false advertising. All of you should cut that shit out. It makes me feel less motivated to continue explaining myself when it gets ignored. Saying I play pro-town as scum is one thing, but I don't really try to dominate conversation as scum. That would imply I actually read the game enough to have a conversation about it. >.>

I really like where you're coming from on the suicide argument. You're thinking of misuse in worst case scenarios instead of the best case I was thinking of. It's a very pro-town point of view aiming to prevent what you see as townies being forced into a bad position. It makes me think you're being your town highheaded self. Oh Bardiche, how could I have ever doubted you, please let me run into your arms and hear your fantastical gambits once more! (♥)

Alright let's see

BT your lack of pressure or even mention of me when voted me over not liking how I went about the Dan case.  The only thing he says is I'm giving a -better- vibe and proceeds to drop me completely in exchange for TUNNEL TIME.
This is bad as I liked him more when he had a more open range of suspects.  I find this scummy.
What do you think of the rest of the game?

I'm sold on the Hero just actively lurking wagon but, I think he's one of my weaker reads.

I will go back to Dan still being number one scum and add on his lurking as a fault.
I will fight you if you try to tell me that because he's lurking shouldn't I move to one of the active people talking.
No. Scum lurk.  It's easy to lurk out a day 1 wagon since its not as strong as normal and more "prime" suspects are supposed to be popping out.

Maav's active lurking while ignoring questions directed at him is worse than Serela's random bullshit mainly because I find the person pushing Serela is scum to me and Serela is an easy case because, look at it.
Serela saying he would vote me but I'm not scum makes me want to knock his face in. Welcome to the list, cow.

Not finding anything I particularly dislike in Bard vs HW so I'm kinda lost at why they are after each other.

Affinity people besides me do exist. What do you make of them as well?
But anyways, the point is they didn't do all of these things in conjunction and or were doing other things that give me a town read to them.  Just because I hold these reasons against him doesn't mean it should end all be all who I'm going to fos because scum can easily dodge me if that were the case.

I'm going to act like Headcrabs didn't come in and try to take the game to travesty levels and give him another chance to kick off in the last 24 hours.

Shadoweh continues to be a cow.

Keeping my vote on Dan since I still hold to it.

So i just read the rules and...
1. Days will last 72 hours or until a lynch is met. If no lynch is met in that time span, no lynch will occur.
 :colbert:
So im guessing actiondan and affinity need to make new votes? idk how this works  ??? and headcrabs needs to make an actual vote. I may move my vote to secure a lynch later in the day, but I would still like to see Maav lynch

You have reminded me of something I want to ask BT: Why did you randomly name claim?

Rawr: It doesn't look like there's a deathscene, so Schezo is still alive. Schezo isn't a good voting candidate anyways so people might as well start moving off of him now.
