Anime Mafia |OT| My Little Scum can't be this cute! ()

Alright, I really need to do some actual work. I think Nomadic Sparks is just misguided rather than scum, but we'll see. I really want to see more from Haly and Ultron. For now though:

oh right, well uh.....


maybe he'll play differently this time...

;)



the post?

Sorry...I'm out of town and only have my phone and limited time to post.

Just talking about how hey_monkey was acting a bit self sacrificing as a new player. Just seems a little too helpful. Nothing more than a hunch on a day with very little to go on.

Believe I'm not about that self-sacrifice without purpose. Feel free to fry these shifty ass other newbies, though. Shifty.

But think what you're gonna think, I guess.

I certainly don't care, but Burb or other mods may disagree.

Way I see it is that we don't allow post editing because we want to be able to accurately search someone's post history for suspicious behavior.

However, an edit within 60 seconds(which leaves no edit notification), probably wasn't seen by anybody anyway, and can't really be abused in any meaningful way.

Burb will most likely have to modkill me before I stop doing it.

But no, they're not allowed.
 
If town decides to lynch on day one, you will gain knowledge of the playing field. Yeah that would be good. BUT more likely then not, you will lynch your own. That one less villager for town and a path to a scum victory becomes that much more clearer.

A day one No Lynch would save that kill for later on.

That's my line of thinking

Where's that article Ultron (out maybe sometime else, can't remember) posted once, about how the math of lynching on D1 works in favor of town? It convinced me anyway
 
THIS



FWIW

and squidyj claiming to be cop from the start seems shady but I believe it's gambit because he's townie

Oops, I messed it up in my last post but I don't get your logic here? If squidy-kun is town then how does that make me scum? By your logic, shouldn't he and I be scum classmates and I'm trying to protect him? Quite a reach, tbh

Nice freudien slip there
 
reverse psychology????

Hardly. Your reasoning makes zero sense. If squidy-kun is indeed town and he claims a cop, that's basically a death sentence. He is almost guaranteed to be night killed and / or targeted. If I was scum, I would want him gone ASAP and would push for his lynch during the day so I can get rid of the claimed cop and then someone else at night with one stone.

However, I am town, and I believe he is town (for now) so I'm going to stick my neck out there and defend him.

If we lynch town, chances are there are going to be scum on the vote. End of day patterns and madness is also sugoi for analysis. Yeah we're down a townie but it's better to risk it and get info for later as opposed to letting scum pick and choose with no potential repercussions during the night phase.

Fair enough
 
Reading through the sequence of posts it's pretty obvious squidyj-kun was joking.

It was just a response to Cabot's prod vote.

I realize there's not much else to go on, but we're all just going in circles at this point.

Let's get this straight - you say yourself if he's town and he claims cop, it's a death sentence. Which he also knows.

So why do you believe he's town?

yup, there has to be something better to focus on then this

if it does turn into something we can revisit it, not like the information is gonna disappear

The new ones are way more active than what I was (and am :p) when I first played a game, I think this is great.

I missed this, but yes.

I still can't shake the thought that is is a planned scum gambit though, cause squidyj knows he could get away with it.

Like if I was a Godfather, this is the kinda thing I would do to bait the real cop into clearing me right away, cause I know I have some leeway with people. Doubly bad if they have a watcher or something to combo in.

The other game I played with squid he was a godfather, though he's tonally different here from PW. I think it was a joke to jumpstart the discussion.

You were right on the first line of your paragraph, I mean I should contribute more


but lol lynching me on day one that should end well

e: A day one no lynch would save town a kill they're going to need later on but whatever lynch away

Does that mean anything? Weird choice of words. Why is it not well for you to be lynched?

Just want to say beforehand that I'll be most of tomorrow away from the game. My 4 year old niece is coming to town and I plan to hug her and play with her as much as possible.

I don't believe he is the cop.

Gaijin Squidy-kun would never claim cop D1. Hell they'd never claim cop at all. The only alternative that makes sense is that he's town with a gambit of some kind.

there are a lot of people setting up the idea that If I'm not dead next day I must be scum and the major topic of discussion.

Besides the obvious??

Well to be fair even if you're alive tomorrow your claim and your supposed results (as people will expect them) will surely come up regardless

y(^ヮ^)y
 
Besides the obvious??

Well, I'm personally fine with getting lynched if we can't come up with a better alternative. Better me than someone who can offer more to the town.

I mean, yeah, it means town goes down by 1 member, but there are far worse outcomes that can happen, like lynching the doctor (if there is one). The only person I know everything about is myself, meaning I know exactly what results from people voting for me.

What's up with this? If you're town then fight for it and prove to us. You're not proving your townie-ness by being passive and accepting your death when we could just as easily lynch a gaijin

(´w`*)

Of course I would. I'm just offering myself up as a last resort. By no means would lynching me be a "good" thing, just a "not as bad as it could have been" thing.

i think it would be better to see someone pushing to lynch you than for you to "offer" yourself up
 
Not sure about Poltergust's logic here. (눈_눈)

Again, as with squidyj - it feels like "oh, cool, I'm town, it's fine, kill me" which should inspire us to not kill, which then makes it feel like a scum move.
 
(not that this is what squidyj was doing - just that in the vacuum of clear information, we are obviously going to analyze everything to death. possibly literally.)

One day I realized that sadness is just another word for not enough coffee.
Squidy is just baiting. It helps town because we spent the last 2 pages talking about squidy and squidy-adjacent things instead of shuffling around with our hands behind our back waiting for sempai to notice.

Well I feel like this is what Polter's doing.
 
It's actually senpai. According to my role.

I'll accept the mistake this one time.

but can you ever forgive me

Well, regardless, there's not much for us to go off of at this point. There's not really a good reason for me to give myself up so early since we have 0 information to go off of, and therefore 0 justification for me to believe that whatever direction we're going in is the wrong one.

From an outside perspective, I can see why my behavior would be suspicious since it means that I could be trying to cover for someone by "sacrificing" myself. My counter to that is that if I do get lynched and it is revealed I'm scum, it would paint a huge target on the person people were originally ganging up on.

All that said, there's not really anything I can do to force people to reconsider, so I'm just going to keep at it and hopefully discover the truth with you guys.

i think its shady because no one is buying the "we have no solid leads, so here lynch me" argument not because you are covering for someone

Well, what leads do we have then? Everyone (myself included) seems to be willing to let squidyj live to tomorrow.

Besides you? (ಠ.ಠ)

We have some quiet people, some vehement reactions, and some people who've hardly posted. I think the next 12-15 hours will be very telling.

hey Cabot.
Why do you like poltergust so much?
- From Squidyj

I dunno just remember positive feeling when going through his posts, felt much more like a genuine new player than say rac did to me.


Then again we have an amusing contradiction where poltergust is all 'aw shucks well lynch me, its okay' and Nomadic who is practically challenging people to lynch him.

They're both new players, so I would townread Poltergust more than Nomadic,

the former comes off as a new player whos ordinary and thinks hes no great loss, the latter comes off as possible scum trying to throw people off him with the possible threat of being a PR?

He could also be a real PR of course.
