Of all tyrannies,a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

She is very reluctant to provide any info.

Always saying she has other things to do/re-reading, but happy to still post about theory and pointless other things.

I am almost 100% GM is scum, Josh is scum and I'm like 85% that Huntress is the 3rd.

Look how little they have interacted throughout the game. Look at the VCA.

I'm ready to end this day.

VOTE: Josh

I mean, you keep promising it but it never comes.

We'll see if I'm right at the end of the game. I have explained why I think people are town and why this makes those people on certain wagons scum.

There are nearly 100 pages for me to go through, it's not going to be quick.

It's really not that useful, to be honest.
You can't make the assumption that a certain wagon is going to be a certain way/composed of a certain demographic.

Vote: Josh


Anyway, so we should all argue about VCA more sometime.

Oh Toffee.

Anyways, there are people who deliberately manipulate VCA as Scum, like lining up all Scum in a row on the same wagon and suchlike. Scum know there's an expectation about how many will be predicted on and how many will be predicted off. You know what they say, as soon as site meta is known people will manipulate it until the opposite becomes site meta, and so on. It's cyclical or something.

Wagon analysis is more useful, looking at every vote, not just the final count.

Reminds me of a game I was on a scum team of four in. None of us on the first two mislynches and I think all of us were on the third.

VCA works sometimes. I guess it really depends on what information your analyzing.

It never works without cross references from other vote counts.

My opinion of the VC that's being referenced is that it makes Aegor more likely to be scum either by opportunity, or by busing.


So GM were you scum this game?

The day started out like all the others except for the news that one of the famed Masons had died and in the crowd were 3 mafia who had armed themselves with guns. Losing a Mason was a huge blow but BlueBloodedToffee stepped up and confessed to being the other mason. No one said otherwise so the town took it to be the truth.

BBT, using their awesome analytical skills, determined that Josh_B had to be one of the mafia. I mean, who else could it be besides them? They had small suspicions on goodmorning as well but Josh_B was the way to go today.

Everyone was debating and talking about what they should do. Eventually the town agreed to lynch Josh_B. That was their first mistake of the day.

Josh_B was...

Spoiler:
Vanilla Townie[/size]

Welcome, [Player Name], you are a Vanilla Townie.

Abilities:

Your weapon is your vote, you have no night actions.

Win condition:

You win when all threats to the town have been eliminated.


After the town had realized their blunder they made mistake number 2, turning their back to the mafia.

Before anyone know what was happening the mafia had pulled their concealed guns and told everyone to get on the floor. Aegor didn't like this idea and booked it, hoping he would be fast enough to get away. Nero Cain cut his life short in a matter of seconds with a shot to the head.

Aegor was...

At the sight of Aegor's dead body davesaz let out a shriek. They had never seen anything like that. Huntress looked at davesaz and said: "Shut up before I make you shut up!"

davesaz wasn't able to hold back the fear and let out another sound. Huntress without mercy ended his life like it was nothing.

davesaz was...

goodmorning now looked down on a helpless BlueBloodedToffee. BBT looked up at goodmorning and said: "Please spare me. I am begging you."

goodmorning with a sadistic smile said: "Ok, I will spare you...from life." and shot BBT square between the eyes.

goodmorning was...

You are confirmed town to your partner, and them to you.

Win condition:

You win when all threats to the town have been eliminated.


THE MAFIA, goodmorning, Huntress and Nero Cain win!!!!


Will post PTs if people would like them released. I don't know why anyone wouldn't want it released though.

Neither of which are that interesting.

Wisdom was replaced for fear of having outside knowledge of the game given to them by another player. This is what you get to know for now.

Fuck if I know.

I wish this had ended sooner 'cause Wisdom was all bragging in the Hydra Micro that he knew what gm-scum looked like and I just wanted to be like "bitch pls wisdom"

I mean, I was Scum there, but still.
