i'm gonna say no
Newbie scum are inclined to active lurk as far as I can tell from reading few a few (ongoing, sorry) games on this site.robocoptor wrote:6)Lynch all active lurkers, especially day 1. That's a huge scumtell to me.
Why is it so huge?
Just an observation, I haven't "settled" on anything. Why does this warrant a FoS?Cove wrote:AKR: I'm puzzled as to how a townie's mindset would settle on bussing this early on Day 1.FOS

The bolded infers that klee has information on what roles are/are not in the game. According to the first post about the setupkleedrac wrote:Not that a claim is always nonsense by any means but especially in an F11 game such as this one there's nothing for vanilla townie to claim beyond "vanilla townie" which has never saved anyone from a lynch in my experience and effectivelyjust gives the scum on the block opportunity to claim doc/cop without too much fear as it's not a terrible gambit by any means
The only way that klee would know if there were or were not any PR's would be if he and his scumparter were regular goons. Furthermore, All that klee has posted all game has been "fluff" (useless filler postsF11 Setup wrote:a. 1 Mafia Goon, 1 Mafia Roleblocker, 1 Cop, 1 Doctor, 5 Vanilla Townies

To say nobody is scum hunting is not true. I will agree it's going slowly but it IS happening. Also, how is not revoting a scum tell? I'm trying to build a case, not sling mud.cove wrote:AKR: Unvoting without replacing the vote somewhere else is generally a pretty good scum tell, since the person isn't scum hunting. Right now though, nobody is scum hunting and I can't vote out all of you, so I am not so sure it's appropriate in this game.

No. Someone at L-1 should ALWAYS have the opportunity to claim. If not, you risk hitting a power role, especially early in the game. Scum can try to claim a power role, but only have a 50% chance of not being counterclaimed. Even then, after a bit more is known about the roles in the game (both town and scum), a scum's fakeclaim can be discovered.kleedrac wrote:I didn't then and still don't believe waiting at L-1 for a claim does anything but give the scum one last chance at a way out. I still won't hesitate to drop a hammer on anyone I feel is deserving.
Again, no. The lynch of a scum is generally a good trade for a pro-town power role especially early in the game. If one of the scumteam is L-1, claims a PR, and gets counterclaimed, they usually are lynched. If the opposite happens (a pro-town PR claims his role and scum counterclaims) they PR MAY get lynched, but the scum will get insta-lynched the next day. If this happens in Day 1, the ratio between scum and town goes from 2:7 to 1:5 (assuming that the scum don't get blocked N1). That vastly improves the town's chances not to mention demoralizing the scumteam.Kleedrac wrote:Not to mention the odds of a counter-claim work both ways! Should the scum feel its worth sacrificing one of their own numbers to get us to lynch our own doc/cop they can do it and we'll lose another member before we can even lynch the scum who did it
(Numbers correspond to the sentence preceding them)Vrtra wrote:AKR is looking pretty bad to me right now. Mainly, he places a FoS on Robo for not voting beyond the RVS stage on page 4(1). A mafia would try to incite a lot of voting around so it would be easier for him to slip through the cracks and provide vague defense for votes hastily put on him(2). It is a good way to gauge how the town is(3). While this isn't a lot of necessarily verifiable and textbook material, it's my own experience from what I've seen / read(4). Then, he overreacts to a point made by Robo asking him (AKR) and Cove to tone it down a little bit by saying "toning it down= not scumhunting" which isn't what he was saying at all(5).
Upon reading, this isn't very clear. I was trying to explain to robo that him asking me to tone down my usage of votes was like telling me not to scumhunt because that's my method. I use reactions to gauge others, and votes definitely get reactions. I think that's a little clearer.AKR wrote:I never said that him saying to tone it down is asking us to not scumhunt, but that asking me to tone it down is AKIN to asking me not to scumhunt
Sorry, didn't see this. Bussing is possible D1 if one scum thinks his partner is too inexperienced or will otherwise be a detriment to their team, which I could have seen between Cove and GT.kindred wrote: . his comment on the busing thing was pretty random tho why would mafia use this gambit so early? the only other game i've played the mafia waited till later in the game to use a gambit. could you explain and help me understand ur thinking please .
This is not a case. Why are they dumb/stupid/dumb?robo wrote:The rest of his posts, are these three things

How, exactly? Especially when I've questioned him AND PLACED VOTES ON HIM, yet he has not directly addressed me all game. Is this exempt from your "Scum don't need to read every post" rule?robo wrote:I have to say the most townie focused player here is GT.

Here it is. This is also one of the posts of mine that you have misread.Robo wrote:I spent almost an HOUR readin what you said, I don't recall you explaining this. So by all means, show me where you explained it.
See especially "I think" to "the fullest".AKR Iso 28 wrote:Robo, asking me to tone it down is asking me to not scumhunt. How I get information is by looking for people's reactions, and it seems like it's working (my FoS on you got this reaction, did it not?). I think page four is definitely time enough to place a vote. Unless you're a PR, that's the only power we have, so we might as well use it to the fullest.
Is hypocritical. You're drawing this out by creating longer and longer walls of text that people have to read through.robo wrote:Your asking me to back off? Because I have a case and valid points? Even if I was misintrepreting some things doesn't mean ther isn't plenty of other stuff that dings scum on my radar. So asking me to back off is just averting eyes. No I will not back off. The entire point of my case was to get you to shut up for five posts so other people can talk, you keep talking and talking and wasting valuable time. I just wanted you to let OTHER people discuss for once. I will backoff as soon as you agree to this.
Why would you "urge the town" to do something that you could just as easily do yourself? This doesn't sit right for me. It sounds like you're trying to give the appearance of scumhunting. I could see something like this coming from scum because it's harder to do an analysis of an argument like mine and robo's if you're not a part of the town and therefore know our alignments already.

Stop using your IC status as a pretext for setting yourself up over everyone else, it's annoying as hell.Robo wrote:I'm an IC and played in plenty of games and never have seen Scum fights like that.

I set it up, you do it, I say I told you so. But luckily, you didn't do it thus I didn't say I told you so. Its actually a pretty neat move when you try and get reactions.

Try it sometime.AKR wrote: Robo You never answered my question about what "NFTOVABC" means.
[quote=""Being a good IC" on the wiki"]Rude, unhelpful, and/or inattentive ICs do not provide a good experience for players, new or old.

Why Am I even talking to you anyway? I asked questions to Cove and Vrtra. Not you.
Ok wow, there's a tell in here somewhere and I don't know if it's town or scum. First, we haven't even been through a night yet.

How? What about his response pointed you to thinking he was town? All it showed to me was that he has a flippant attitude towards this game.robo wrote:I think that his answer to the question, and i know why you think its kinda Hypocrtical/scummy to say hes town because of it, but the way he answered pointed town.
