Too risky if hes scum gambling and used it hypothetically endgame. It would still be best if we wanted it gone to raise someone, anyone, and have them randomly use it on someone today(tomorrow?) whose obviously not being lynched.Shadow1psc wrote:My point is that he couldn't use it, or would be shoe-horned into not using it, else we'd lynch him.

What this thread needs is appearances by xvart and Percy. And soon.

Why exactly is Chesskid worthy of specific scorn for this stance when Benmage is not?diddin wrote:Don't really like this either. It just looks like you want to lynch him for his bad play and don't even think he'll flip scum.
--
Why do you keep asking if Cow can vote when he already has and it was reflected in the prior vote-count made by the Mods?Shadow wrote:The only other thing I'd like to know from Hasg is if he can vote/raise or not. Also I have to wonder (and if I'm over-stepping my bounds or this is something we don't want scum to know, ignore it), does breach of your restriction result in a) modkill, or b) tree-stumping? If I'm going too far into modkill territory myself by asking, just ignore this >_>
Furthermore this is the second time you’ve specifically mentioned Treestump / Treestumping in relation to Cow. Why?
Also, serious amounts of fence-sitting detected in Shadow’s 161. It can be summed up nicely with “Grey might be scum but might not be scum”.

I think this is a very viable solution if we can’t form a solid concensus as to whether the Governor 1shot should be held for later down the line.Benmage wrote:We can just waste the ability early on if we fear it….its really not very powerful.
Really? You somehow assume that you are the only one who knows this?Benmage wrote:LOOK. Town can win this probably lynching 1 scum the whole game. Odds are there’s a scum Team of the North Robb Stark etc etc, and Odds are there’s a Stannis scum team. That alone means there will likely be crosskilled.
YOU KNOW WHO WONT BE NIGHTKILLED The aforementioned idiots. It is our job as the town to kill em all. We don’t need to kill scum today tomorrow or the next day to win this. We need to kill off the unreadable. The ones who even if town will lose us the game.
On a flavor note what happened to the Greyjoys? Are they all dead by this book. I haven’t read the series but really liked them last time around
--
Um what? Please stop using the Wiki as your Bible. It just makes you look foolish.GreyICE wrote:Yeah, Benmage is scum.
Blatant rolefishing.
Furthermore … why is Benmage’s ‘fishing’ scummy but Shadow’s repeated fishing of Cow not even worth a peep from you. Is it because you are inflicted with UK syndrome and assume everyone who questions you is scum?
You need to think things through before you post them. Because DGB’s statement didn’t stifle discussion. In fact it launched it.GreyICE wrote:Asking people not to selfvote is not scummy. Attempting to threaten people into not self voting is scummy, because it shuts off discussion. DGB has done nothing to foster discussion, and attempted to call it off.
--
@Raivann– Thanks for showing up in the thread. Is this minimalist posting style the result of your outing yourself as scum last time?
--
Of course it will. The question is, in a 26 player game, how many will be two many. I doubt you seriously think we are immediate danger if our first lynch doesn’t hit scum. And it is entirely possible for VI to actually be scum, correct?DGB wrote:Enough mislynches will lose us the game."I am a leaf on the wind ... watch how I soar!"

Benmage makes a solid point here. I want to expand upon it.benmage wrote:I'd join the wagon on my bro Percy.....but we should already get down to business. Which VI goes first?
vote chesskid
To those who did not play in Clash of Kings please review it. A VI (CSL) killed the Town. He had been under pressure early on (Day 2) and was let of the hook for being a VI. Later he quickhammered the Town Doctor before a claim could be made and was still not held accountable. Obviously scum left him for the end-game scenario where he self-hammered as Town and facilitated the scum joint win.
The moral of the story – if a VI player is playing scummy you lynch / vig them. Giving a VI a pass based on being a VI assures they get deeper in the game where their poor decisions and actions have a greater negative impact be they Town or Scum.
/off Soapbox.
Granted they may just be questions to get the game or dialouge going, but more likely is that MoI is scum. Oh, and he budded up to Benmage, so Benmage is prob town if MoI is scum.Digestion only feeds...This abomination breathes!-

@Benmage-
The options directly follow from your objection.
-I proposed we try to lynch scum now. You objected that lynching scum now (or trying to) means we cannot lynch VI's later.
-Your proposal is we lynch VIs now INSTEAD OF trying to lynch scum. If we accept your BS, that waiting until VI's act scummy to lynch them means we will be unable to lynch the scummy VI's then that equally applies to scummy non-VIs who are left to be lynched later.
You presented retarded options, and then went ahead and picked the more retarded and anti-town of the two. I'm trying to find out if you're putting on an act or if you just can't help it.
@Grey-
If you want the ability gone and you honestly believe there's a chance it triggers scum powerups, then no governor is clearly better than governor.Yeaaaahhhh. So lets see, I need a majority to agree to give me the power to keep it out of the hands of anyone who will misuse it, but any single townie could put it into someone's hands with one vote/unvote at the end of the day?
Yeah, fuck that noise. We wouldn't need a majority, we'd need a total consensus.
Creating a tie is just as easy if not easier than reaching consensus on a governor; it is almost certainly doable with less than a majority and the number of players required scales directly with the size of any counter consensus candidate. Your objection makes your prior complaints sound insincere.ShowT: 9/6.5/0

I'm pretty blind. I didn't even catch that Hasgd was the first on my wagon even. Terrible. As far as fencing on GreyIce, I got him lynched as town before, and the game wasn't long enough for me to determine then, nor is it now if his playstyle is currently contradictory to former. I'm leaning more towards yes, but *shrug*. We've got a deadline a mile away."I value knowledge, logic, and deceit. I love to pursue wisdom but also to manipulate and deceive.

I'm saying, we probably wont, based on scum hunting skills...sure we can get lucky. But lynching an idiot, also has the chance of being scum. SO its win win.Kast wrote:@Benmage-

Nonono... we can afford some collateral dmg right now. To make the herd smaller. Later when the games on the line, and we're faced with scummy idiots (who probably are town)...we'll lynch them and lose. Or they'll be the only ones left in the game with scum, and scum will swindle them and we'll lose aswell.

Nah, I don't give a damn about Shadow, because he was the same sort of naively scummy the last game I was in with him, and he's smarter than he comes off, and he reads town. Benmage read scum, but I am honestly not joking about the meds, I have yet to come up with a sane line of reasoning for his further posts in the thread.MagnaofIllusion wrote:Um what? Please stop using the Wiki as your Bible. It just makes you look foolish.
Furthermore … why is Benmage’s ‘fishing’ scummy but Shadow’s repeated fishing of Cow not even worth a peep from you. Is it because you are inflicted with UK syndrome and assume everyone who questions you is scum?
The newbie game we mentioned had a person who 'gave up on finding scum' day 1, and he was the scum who quickhammered me. It's amazing how hard it is to 'find scum' when you have no real motivation, unlimited information, no idea of the personalities involved, and not a lot of time in your quickthread to make plots. Benmage's entire post read fucking scum to me, so w/e, other people have eyes if I call it out they can read the same shit.
P.S. Fine, since it's out there, I totally called the rolename first, and didn't even fish it
P.P.S. With no self governor, I would be behind raising sir cow as the Hand. None of the other games had massive flavor switches (see MoI, I did read them) and if he's faking THIS post restriction, well, we can find out.Raise: hasdgfasShowThat which is done out of love always takes place beyond good and evil

All I'm saying is, I noticed that some scum other than me didn't self-raise after the game was over, even though there weren't as many non-self-raisers. I may not have known for sure that it was a higher percentage, but I would have guessed it. Why does this matter, anyway? It's obvious that self-raising doesn't prove anything in this game and that, therefore, nobody should be doing it.Okay, I played in the last one, and I'm calling you on this. Are you honestly saying that any point during or after the game, you'd thought, "Gee, it's funny that a disproportionate number of scum are raising people others than themselves"? Even though MacavityLock and xvart, two of your three scumbuddies, both self-raised at first?
I like GreyICE's argument that the statistical difference is negligible, but not yours that scum would be aware of the trend. Since the "trend" is only noticeable if you mathematically calculate the percentages, I really don't like you saying, "Oh, sure. Yeah. I totally noticed it was a trend all along."
@chesskid
<3 you too, but there's no way much of anybody is ever going to raise me. Better to raise DGB, imo.-

Zoraster hasn't posted nearly enough content. And it's not like he was around for the majority of the thread, he was gone after the morning. I disagreed (and provoked) him, and he called Grey scummy, who at the time might as well have been white knighting me possibly from that PoV. I don't get all the suspecting when there's other players doing scummier things with much more content."I value knowledge, logic, and deceit.
