While what you said is related, it doesn't take away from the fact that you said that your play has been equal to your scum-style play. If playing like you are scum is not scummy, well, I don't know what is.

So while I did not quote the context, the context didn't make his statement innocuous.

You're missing the point - I said that I play the same in a scum role as I would in a town role. This is normally a given, is it not?

The point was that a person who lurks isn't necessarily scum, and lurking can't be used as a scumtell on its own.

Read carefully, I guess, or ask for clarification before jumping on something.

Eveyone for the most part: Posts actively(on not so actively) with info and helping ect.
X, Ting, Zakeri: Post once every once in awhile with large posts.


And then there was the Jebus/Zwet posts for a short amount of time.

What's with Post 425 by SilverPhoenix about "rolefishing". Only one player in the whole game's role can be usefully fished by scum... (Nietzschke)

This is stupid. The setup does not accomodate you describing some players as "scummy culted" and some others as otherwise non specified scummy. If you were agnostic you'd be thinking about whether we were cult, recruits or God.
myk (431) wrote:SCUM!

people, what would a roleclaim give us? (hint: nothing).
This is also stupid for aforementioned reasons, and as X points out in the below post.

myk is obvscum but I don't think he'd be so aggressive if he were God so that isn't particularly useful.
Jebus (446) wrote:The further into this game we play, the more likely God is to be caught - recruits as well as the CL's lose if god dies, so it is indeed a very finely balanced setup, assuming us agnostics play competently enough to pick out recruits/CL's.
Oh yer hehe we're agnostics aren't we ;) ;) ;)
Jebus (451) wrote:Theory be said, I've never been one to play that way. For example, I try to play the same from one game to another (with the exception of changes in playstyle). Even in a game like this, if I were a CL/recruit/God, I'd probably do the same thing I'm doing now.
I agree, this is exactly how you'd play if you were God :)

For whoever asked about Jebus' meta, I believe it was DGB and Jebus himself, I dunno I guess he acts in a kind of "innocent" way in general (not an insult). That's why I see him brandishing the holier than thou townie stick I get suspicious.

All in all very happy with my vote on him, he's more likely to be God than the other scum, mykonian.

I already wrote:Just because the information is "useless" (as your probability analysis suggests), it doesn't give you the right to know it. Knowing roles is good for two people:
God and Nietzsche
. I'm not willing to give you the benefit of the doubt that you are him (
Nietzsche
).
One less agnostic to not worry about is still one less agnostic for God not to kill. Whatever claim pacman would have made, it would still narrow down the list of people that could be Nietzsche (unless he is CL, as God knows them, but not the recruits).

Well, only if Nietzsche is still alive. Because no way is God going to get lynched later on. All Nietzsche needs to do is not die long enough to realize who the cults aren't voting for. And at that point, there may not even be any agnostics left.

a bunch of people wrote:lurkers should post more
I still think Zakeri is god.

Now if you just want me to post more for no particular reason, I can post "I still think Zakeri is god." every day or so. I don't see the benefit of doing that though.

Meh. All the new posts are theory posts. I don't really have anything much to add. So I'll just throw a vote.
Unvote. Vote:Erratus Apathos.
You could try saying why. Or actually looking at others and saying why you don't think they're God. Either'd be much better than just popping in to say 'Zak is god' every few days.

pacman is God.

My case for pacman being Gos is still valid.

Of course, cultists and CLs aren't keen on this lynch. The Agnostics are going to have to get their act together.

Why Zakeri is god:
Erratus Apathos wrote:
Bloodmoney wrote:No, I know that's what you meant. Read that post again. I'm saying I don't see how Jebus would've misinterpreted that post that much, when it's completely obvious it wasn't a Nietzsche-slip. Nevertheless, this is not much of a point, since I don't see accrediting stupidity to someone a scumtell. Jebus and populartajo's opportunistic votes are noted, in that order.
Note that Jebus and PT both explicitly agreed with Blood's reasoning when voting Zakeri, so Blood attacking their votes is just hypocritical. It's like he's trying to scramble out of a botched distancing attempt.
zwetschenwasser wrote:Why are jebus and zakeri God/Nietzsche/whatever again?
Spoken like someone who doesn't even know what the agnostic win condition is.

That's two seedy players who've both defended Zakeri. That suggests they're cult and he's God.
Unvote
Vote: Zakeri
The only thing that's changed since then is DGB being much much scummier than blood or zwet. And she's also defended Zakeri.

If I had played a game with any player that was this epically useless, I'd remember. Is there a player that's been here more than 6 months, with whom I haven't played? I wonder...

I don't particularly see how DGB is acting scummy. Sticking to a case on someone for decent reasons isn't a scum tell in my book.

Oh, and EA - 490 is nice, sure, but could I get your explicit reasoning why Zakeri is definitely god? Examples/etc? One quote isn't quite good enough for me.

EA's tunnel vision is unhelpful. There are a lot more players in the game than just Zakeri. Would God really have been the first player run up so fast?
