Why I do not like one hider claim:

There's absolutely no certainty that we have a hider. I cannot imagine what benefits one could see that are not in a massclaim. In fact one of the biggest disadvantages imo is the uncertainty of the claim. If we had massclaimed before assigning the scum roles we would have gotten more certainty. And now that there is one hider claim and not two or none, the likelihood of a fakeclaim lies higher. Was the hider against a massclaim?

@My Milked Eek, at this point Troll will say why not read the thread more carefully and see if you want to try answering that again in a way that demonstrates anything close to an understanding of what be going on.

To be honest, I wasn't very invested at the time and wasn't fully aware of what the consequences were for each specific outcome of a Hider claim. I thought 'not roleblocker' was the only option that would have happened. Why didn't we lock in Assassin if we had a Hider, because couldn't she only jump three possible PR's now?

You think she's scum, clearly voting her is fine, but that is based on things that happened in Day 0; so you must have suspected her back then, but didn't question or pressure her, in order to get good info for later. To me, it looks a little like you didn't actually do anything until Day 1, where you're sort-of-required to throw a vote out. Do you see my view?
I did suspect her back then. In fact, take a look at post 0 in my iso. However, Day 0 was Boring Mechanics Day.

Also I'm not required to throw a vote out at the beginning of Day 1. But I want to see Hoopla hang, see.

Papa Zito be unable to read Troll in a reliable way. Papa Zito finds him be quite capable of masking true intent while appearing as a paragon of towniness.

That said, I think his hider stuff Day 0 was terrible and more scum-motivated than town. Also law of averages.
Troll wrote:@Papa Zito, what be your opinion about games without alignment reveals? (Mind you, Troll believes Troll knows the answer to that but would prefer that you be the one who shares it now.) What made you pick janitor as one of the two roles you would like to give scum?
I find them crippling. What was that one game... I think it was Plum's, where you'd lynch people but they wouldn't flip right away, and you'd have to vote them again to make them flip. It was absolutely maddening.

ITT though the janitor is one-shot, and that's what attracted me. I like the idea of giving scum a role they can only use once, and then effectively become vanilla.

@Papa Zito, really, you think that the hider claim idea was terrible and more scum-motivated than town-motivated? Thanks in large part to Troll pushing it (but no thanks at all to Papa Zito trying to stop the town from being able to use Day 0) town now be explicitly in a better position in terms of knowledge of the setup. What be the scum motivation there and how does it be terrible.

So if you thought that the janitor would give a crippling result restricted to just one day what were your thoughts of the rolecop and assassin. Troll be surprised that your dislike of the janitor from a town position no got mentioned at all though you no seemed to be interested in talking about things and trying to make an informed decision in which the town actually tried to work things out.

My entire scumlist there tourned out to be the whole third party team system >.>

Hero, I'm not getting why the janitor wagon is particularily suspect.

Also, my impression of Hoops is that she's more absentmind/missing/forgettingstuffish as town. I think.

@Ellibereth, yes, your entire scum list turned out to be the third party team system who were trying to help the town while the mafia tended to end up on your town list. I'm not impressed by your initial reads in general and I think that you're too reluctant to look at evidence and make changes where you should. I also think that that trait doesn't make you any more likely to be scum.

My Milked Eek: What Troll said. (Wow.)

Hoopla: I'm reasonably confident you can work out why the Janitor got hammered by looking through the posts between DGB's claim and retraction (Hint: What do Janitor/Assassin and Janitor/Rolecop have in common?). I also find it very hard to believe that you saw DGB's claim and thought it was clearly fake, but didn't notice that Janitor was climbing in the vote count. I think you're lying scum and I want to lynch you. How does that make you feel?

@Spy:
Just because you don't use meta as a basis for deciding your town/scum reads doesn't mean you wouldn't be happy with others saying "Spyrex is doing what he would do as town here."

I can't help you regarding your perception of a change in tone. I'm aware of neither the details of the basis for this, nor any reason at all why you would expect scum would change their tone and town wouldn't. Normally I'd point you back to the MD thread in which we commented on this, but I don't see any point to that here.
Acccctuuallly I'm more than happy to disregard that kind of garbagio too. I don't need town points. I need blood, and the right kind. That's it.

What MD thread? What does that have to do with anything?

Opinions can change. However, everything about how your opinion changed (or didn't if you're going to go with the "I brought it up as a bad idea" angle) is bad news bears.

That still doesn't hold a candle to the fuzzy math though.

A more global question:

I love killin me people but this KMD wagon seems to be growing on its own fat. Que?

I always lynch scum... sometimes they're just not mafia. :P

Good point about the janitor - I suppose I don't have any defense for that really, other than I didn't think about the consequences. How do I feel? It makes me feel wary, because it seems like the sort of tell for you that is strong enough to direct a lot of your attention to me today. And I want to stop that, because it will be a mutual waste of time if you're town, but I don't know how to get out of that hole.

Yeah, my observation was that he had weak but vaguely understandable reasons for his reads; when he was in Teleportation, it seemed to be more "it's tactically nice to consider ___ town, so I do". I think the latter is more likely at the moment.

ooba, that doesn't really answer my question. If you're town, and you couldn't do it, why is it suspicious not to do it?

This is not an explanation for not pressuring someone you suspect; why didn't you?

Exactly or at least one? Why? I don't remember you taking this position before.

I could also wagon Hoopla. Something about "that's a good point mith, I'll try to allay your concerns" sounds too much like a politician. Infact, I will, VOTE: Hoopla
