Civilization Mafia - Town Wins!

[dybeck]

Sounds like a good strategy to me.

However: Strategy be damned!

vote: Puzzle

[dybeck]

The object is to win. I'm sorry if some people don't find it so much fun - but if breaking the game is what it takes, then I'm all for it.

unvote, vote: No Lynch

FOS: All those who advocate 'town not winning'

by ignoring the best strategy.

[dybeck]

That doesn't really make much sense - especially in the d_rouge area of things...

Surely alphabetical order OR post order would be smarter? Where everyone checks the person following them?

Or even just pick the people we think are scummy - it makes more sense to have multiple investigations on scummy people - since there's a high probability that an individual investigation will fail.

[dybeck]

You're probably right.

unvote: No Lynch

Sicne we've had plenty of discussion it shouldn't be hard to find someone that looks scummy. I'm going to reread and see what's there.

[dybeck]

lurking then jumping on a bandwagon is worse than lurking.

vote: d_rouge

[dybeck]

either swinkee is scum or there are some DEFINITE scum late onto that bandwagon.

[dybeck]

The list looks OK to me - is it based upon anything in particular?

[dybeck]

Actually can I make one change to the investigation list?

I'd rather swinkee investigated someone a little less scummy than HezLucky. Because we should try and avoid having two scum next to each other if we can help it - anyone else think we should swap two people over.

And I agree that someone other than Puzzle should decide who.

[dybeck]

And another thing... are we voting lurkers because they lurk? Or because we think they're scummy?

I'm inclined to believe that lurkers who post after being called out are ten times scummier than those that continue to lurk. They're much more likely to be scum, rather than absentees.

I'd rather keep my vote on d_rouge than to choose someone from the new lurker list.

[dybeck]

Sorry Puzzle... but suddenly coming out of the woodwork when you've been sprung for lurking is a scum tell.

[dybeck]

Why is one lurker better than another???

[dybeck]

MoS, there are times to vote just to nudge lurkers into posting, and there are times to vote people you feel are scummy.

I think you're confusing the two.

[dybeck]

somehow I doubt that

This is not helpful.

unvote d_rouge, vote: Mastermind of Sin

That is not helpful. [/BJ]

Excuse me??

[dybeck]

Yeah we already had that discussion. You never understood it the first time around - I don't see why you're likely to be any smarter now.

All I was trying to present by resurrecting that post was the fact that I am not Patient Zero with the BJ-itis!!!!

[dybeck]

I think he raises a couple of good points actually. I'd be interested in seeing a response from you...

[dybeck]

I find this whole game really confusing - am I the only one?

[dybeck]

Sorry... nothing from me.

[dybeck]

On the contrary. I think it explains an awful lot.
