Hmm. Guess I might have been somewhat quite in the last newbie I was in with you. I woudln't say that's my normal playstyle though. However, as that's the only game you've seen me in, it's a fair observation from your point of view, and therefore one that actually gives me some good vibes about you.pickemgenius wrote:Yosarian2 wrote:pickemgenius wrote:Yos is usually pretty quiet.

Sure.
Yes, that's right. I was not pressuring for balance (like some sort of call to even out the votes) but redistributing the pressure allocation. Balance in the financial sense, not aesthetic sense, if you follow.thedocsalive wrote:I interpreted it as putting some pressure on the person who put pickemgenius at lynch minus one early, though the wording could mean something more or different.

I apologize; you certainly did. I was going down my spreadsheet of vote tally, saw you hadn't voted yet, and somehow missed your post while scanning through the thread. Again, sorry for my unfounded whine.Yosarian2 wrote:Um, I posted just two posts before you did, windfish...
thedocsalive wrote:Lynch minus one early isn't the worst thing in the world, guys. If anyone were to drop the hammer, and pickemgenius showed up innocent, the player who dropped the fourth vote would almost certainly be newbie scum, and a surefire lynch the next day. And there's always the 2/7 chance of him being scum.
Not that I'm condoning putting three votes on people for no reason at all, nor am I saying that it's good play, but I'm just saying that it's not as completely negative as people might think.

The town is quite lucky no one died. It wouldn't have surprised me at all if someone else had voted without checking the vote-counts and ended the day on page one quite accidently after your move. If you're pro-town, it was an incredibly risky thing to do; or I could see you being scum, hoping someone else would mess up and lynch him.truncator wrote:
There was more to it than that as well. Sorry about the unconventional move. I thought it helped and no one died.
It's not a matter of responsibility. If you think he's a poor town player, he's still a townie and you shouldn't vote him. Unless, you think his irresponsible execution implies that he's scum, because it's so irresponsible that any town player wouldn't do it. And as I said, I don't think that is the case.WindFish wrote:Yosarian's reasoning has re-affirmed my vote for truncator. Maybe he was just intentionally probing for some responses, but it does not appear to be very responsibly executed.
You're right. Third vote doesn't = scum.thedocsalive wrote:I really don't think voting for truncator right now is great for a few reasons. For one, it would put him at lynch minus one. Ironic, right? Secondly, I really don't think the third vote is too scummy.
I really don't like that wording (see underlined).thedocsalive wrote:I know it's a risky play,but as I said before, worse things have happened.
1. How do we 100% sure he's new, and hasn't played elsewhere, and knew what he was doing?thedocsalive wrote: I feel like a lot of newbie games end quickly because of bandwagons like this: a newer player does something questionable in the first few pages, the rest of the thread ultimately deems it unforgiveable, lynches him, he shows up innocent, and the town's in lylo day two.
Yes. I also knew that someone would change their vote and I hoped it would be before the 4th vote came in. I wanted to see who was quick to change. It may have been risky, but you don't always get the information you need by sitting on your thumb.Yosarian2 wrote: Truncator, did you know you were putting him at -1 when you voted?
