Mini 1046 - Murder in the Desert (Game Over!)

[Cogito Ergo Sum]

Vote: Parama

[Cogito Ergo Sum]

Nothing else to say CES?

Not at this point in time, no.

[Cogito Ergo Sum]

I'm not bitter, Parama, and I will not stand for such calumny.

[Cogito Ergo Sum]

*hops*

Unvote, vote: boberz

[Cogito Ergo Sum]

Just fyi, I believe boberz is at Lynch -1.

Bub, if you find yourself thinking that sort of thing 5 pages in and it's not about a newbie, you're probably wrong.

For the people asking for content: Lowell is looking townish and it should be evident why if you think about it.

[Cogito Ergo Sum]

Question: Why are you voting for boberz? You gave no explanation whatsoever. You just shamelessly hopped on the badwagon.

You seem confused. I clearly stated what I was doing when I changed my vote.

Also, why does Lowell look townish? Again, explanation would be nice here.

Take a guess.

I'm noting berz' failure to acknowledge being at lynch -1.

[Cogito Ergo Sum]

Face it, Oso, bandwagonning is awesome. Unless I have a good reason not to, I always put down the fifth vote on berz in that situation. Pressure, pressure, pressure.

[Cogito Ergo Sum]

I want everyone to give 3 scum reads and 3 town reads in their next post.

boberz, Xine, Oso
Lowell, DemonHybrid, Parama (You are making a surprising amount of sense.)

At the time of this post, you had been asked by at least two different people to explain your blatant bandwagon and you still didn't answer here. Why?

I just looked it up and I can't find any questions addressed to me between the vote and post 108. And the original vote-post is fairly self-contained in terms of what it means.

Oh, you mean the *hops*? So you admit you just want to bandwagon without care or concern?

Pretty much. I'm old school.

Why didn't you say this the first time? Also, the fifth vote? Not the fourth? Is the fourth vote not a bandwagon? Is the sixth vote to late? You make zero sense here.

I didn't think it would be necessary to mention it as it should be self-evident, really. Also, there were 4 votes on him at the time; I would've gladly put on a fourth or sixth vote but that's not how the world works, my friend.

[Cogito Ergo Sum]

You were technically right, this wasn't a question; it was a command. If you want it phrased as a question, I can do that.

This also wasn't inbetween the two posts I mentioned and it contains 3 spelling errors.

Why did you vote for Boberz?
Why are you still voting Boberz?
Why are being so difficult for the town?

Bandwagonning.
I think he might be scum.
I would describe it as concise, not as difficult.

[Cogito Ergo Sum]

Why are you bandwagoning?
Why do you think he might be scum?
Why are you so concisely difficult?

Because bandwagons are good for the town in that they allow us to obtain information more effectively due to discourse becoming more meaningful in their presence.
A combination of factors: gut, failure to acknowledge the l-1, his weaksauce vote on you.
I would describe it as concisely concise, not as concisely difficult.

[Cogito Ergo Sum]

How about this one; and this one (although technically those weren't questions but I believe the intention was clear).

I strongly disagree.

Did you mean to say you just put down whatever vote it happens to be as long as it is the leading bandwagon?

Yes.

None of the above are lies. I could say all this and be telling the truth every time.

Technically true if taken out of context, yes. But given the context I think the meaning is clear: I'm suspicious of berz but this suspicion is not particularly strong (which shouldn't be that surprising considering we're on page 10.)

Scum tend to make fewer definite statements than town - it gives them the ability to back out of their reads.

Yeah, clearly, if I hadn't been town, I would've either caught scum by now or exaggerated my certainty. *rolls eyes*

Either you're already convinced that three people are scum, in which case you're kidding yourself, or you just state your suspicions more strongly, which does not strike me as significant.

[Cogito Ergo Sum]

You don't find the statement about placing a very specific vote on a bandwagon just because he wanted to bandwagon intriguing in the slightest? I find comments like this worth at the very least a minor line of inquiry. I don't see why someone who is admittedly bandwagoning just for the sake of bandwagoning would specify a particular vote on a bandwagon. There was obviously an intention behind the comment, and I'm trying to parse that intention out.

I really didn't mean anything by it and frankly, I can't even think of anything I realistically could have meant by it.

I don't intend to hammer Bubberskins, just fyi.

[Cogito Ergo Sum]

Well, this is nice.

[Cogito Ergo Sum]

Eh, most of the dead players had him in their favoured scum team. The right people definitely got killed off; I wasn't the only who thought charter and Lowell were obvtown and that boberz-Socrates made most sense as the scum pair.

P.S. Oso, it's just my playstyle - I don't change my play based on whether I have a power role (consciously, anyway).

[Cogito Ergo Sum]

The reason I ask is that one thing I have always been unable to not do (even as town) is try and figure out the best way to lynch a PR. Not NK them but rather get them lynched and do it in a way that won't backfire on me.

Call it an intellectual exercise...or a really twisted sense of fun.

Balance considerations pretty clearly pointed to Xine being town. Early on lynching a PR just requires a higher burden of proof and later on and later on it tends to be pretty clear whether there are scum among the claimed PRs.
