I read like a page back and saw that she was one of the people not claimed
Pretty sure 1 of Tammy, Fferylt, Nacho is scum.
In post 1934, Oversoul wrote:Tammy, who should I vote?
Who are you top 2 scum reads/town reads?
Fferyllt, read on Nacho?
In one post you say one of Tammy, Nacho, me is scum and in the next post you ask Tammy who you should vote.
Should tell you who I think is scum within that group!-

Why is pieguy scum?
Those are not my scum reads. Requests for people to tell me their opinion on Notsci. I want you to wait to give your opinion until after Nacho.-

Empire, how would a rolecop work when investigating a goon, a VT, and a tracker?
Tammy said something about the Rolecop that makes me think it is not how she perceives it to work. I only ask this because Ether is a reviewer and recently made a big stink about Vanilla Cop and stuff. Anyway...
So, at the very beginning of replacing in I was like "hmm weird af that the little cluster of Fferyllt, Nacho, and Tammy is still alive". That is why I initially said that group has at least 1 scum. I still stand behind that comment.
Reading through the thread, I think fferyllt is solidly town. I don't remember playing a game with fferyllt as a solo slot, but I think her play is town regardless. Fferyllt if you're scum at the end of this, I am going to be sadface.
I think Tammy is probably? town. I am little upset that I do not think she is more town in my mind. I think her play around the proposed flashwagon and notscience stuff means she is town.
I think Pie and Notsci coming into this day wanting to 1v1 is indicative that one of them is scum.
Ok. Anyway...
Yeah, when people were claiming. Hold on horrible music is playing right now. Ok. Yeah, when people were claiming VT I was super confused why this was happening so early but it makes sense seeing as everyone important claimed yesterday. When I saw talk that implosion claimed vig I had already read like 10 pages of the game and up to that point Implosion was my strongest scum read. Like super rage bonerhard. Hm. wrong game. But yeah, implosion's opening posts I absolutely HATED. I thought to myself, unless he has a BALLER claim/crumb he is 100% going to be my lynch today. He was the controversial opinion that I eluded too earlier. When I got to his claim, his VIG claim, it was pretty baller. Reminds me of my own types of claims. Placed at the tail end of the day, when putting Anen at L-1 at a time he thought Anen could be lynched. That all seems town motivated. However, holy fuck the coincidences of EVERYONE targetting Gnomeo night 1 is really, really, reallynot likely.
His choice of shot on Gnomeo is super sketch. Like Pie pointed out, Gnomeo was not in a "viggable" spot on his reads list and the reasoning that he "went" with town's opinion is utter shit. SCUM ARE APART OF THE PEOPLE IN THE TOWN. HELLOOOOOO. The only reason you ever do that is if there are two wagons that have been competing all day and you need both flips to progress through the game. Gnomeo was not that type of kill. So yeah, the claim itself looks legit but the play surrounding the claim looks so unlegit. Like god. I wish I was the vig. So sad. Anyway, implosion AGAIN choosing not to shoot is sketch as fuck. And if he *doesn't* shoot tonight he is 100% the lynch tomorrow. Even if scum have an RB, and it SURE as hell better not be a more than 2 shot RB or the reviewers sux, implosion should be confirmed tomorrow. Tammy should take a 50% on choosing one of RC/Implosion I think. HOWEVER, I think implosion should choose to shoot RC. BUT fuck. One of the main reasons I want to shoot RC is because of his claim.
When I saw RC's claim that was like when my mind started to implode and leak out my nostrils and ears and tear ducts. It was bad. Oh my god bad. Miller is a claim that scum can preemptively play like... And RC in my mind is like the complete opposite of Implosion. Whereas with Implosion I HATED his play throughout the day, I thought RC's play was not that bad during the day. Whereas with Implosion I loved the claim, I hated RC's claim. I think both of those dropped the ball somewhat with how to play the role effectively. RC playing dumb about a death miller is also sketch too.
ANYWAY Ya. THEN TAMMY CLAIMS ROLECOP AND I'M LIKE WTF WHY WOULD SHE DO THAT AT THAT MOMENT. And that was when I was like wtf spamming the thread.
But she had a town explosion of emotion so I think she is probably town. I hope she is town. I've never actually played AGAINST Tammy scum that I can remember? Maybe one of those Stack the Deck games on an alt of mine? I can't remember. Can't be asked to find it.
But yeah...
Prior to getting mind fucked I was like "lol this game is so easy, scum team is Nacho, Implosion 1 of {RC, Notsci, Pieguyn}. Before I got mindfucked I was heavily leaning on Pie scum. DOn't know how she plays but I thought Notsci was being pretty town during the early days. But yeah. Nacho has been a scum read of mine since around the time of growing lynch boner for implosion. He was a pretty early scum read of mine. I think Nacho also makes sense with Notsci scum. Nacho should have caught notsci scum by now like he did in that other game we just had. Forgetting the name, Nightingale. Yes. I expected BoP on Nacho to give us a determinant read on Notsci.
WICKED
Man I thought he was town throughout the entire day but since Claimgate 2k15 I honestly have no idea. I could talk myself to seeing him as scum. He doesn't seem to have as much of presence today as he did earlier which is indicative of his place in the game. But damn. My gut says he is town.
So yeah. Some super sketchy stuff going on and I don't have much time to elaborate so I just SoC this all over the place.
Reads (town to scum)
fferyllt
Tammy
Pie
Wicked
Implosion
Red Coyote
Notsci
Nacho
Also, loljk. I amNot a VT
Tammy is going to target me tonight to confirm what role I actually am.
Nacho wagon is justice though and really surprised that Fferyllt and Tammy have not been probing him more given his not good play thus far. Notsci in the 1v1 with Pie is also probably my vote given the weird accusation about Tammy not setup speccing when I definitely remembered her spec'ing in We the Purple and earlier in this game and I have a bad memory.
VOTE: Nacho
So yeah...-

Do enlighten me on why i, the one who is the vig and literally calls the shots, should trust you in particular over me
I don't know, why haven't you done that at all prior to this post?
You can't play like you have been playing where you were taking into account town's wishes and then now all of the sudden that someone is actually directing you decide to grow a spine. You are either a sponge or a vertebrae. You do not get to jump forward billions of years on the evolution table or jump around on the phylum table.-

Although until your claim of not-a-vt i was pretty much assuming that i was going to be off the table permanently for setup reasons so that I wouldn't have to worry about that
huh?
Tammy has given pretty good indication (maybe it was fferyllt) of what a typical scum group in an Empire game is going to be. Hint: not very powerful, if any at all.
I remember someone saying the last 2 empire games featured 3 goons and then 3 goons with daytalk. IF the scum has a roleblocker is going to be limited shot, possibly only 1 shot. More likely they have some form of information role.-

Good mods should strive to have good games, regardless of any perceived meta which I think Empire strives to do.
But Implosion
You can't make posts like this
In post 1323, implosion wrote:I was debating between him, layla, notscience and pie, for the most part. I honestly don't remember why I didn't go for pie. I think I went through like 4-5 instances of opening pie's iso, flitting through it, and just feeling meh. It was probably mostly because it seemed like he was getting townreads from others. ns I didn't want to shoot because ffery said she'd be able to read ns better as time went on i think. It eventually came down to layla and gnomeo, and I picked gnomeo because I was hoping layla was going to start posting more since her early posting felt town. I also think I thought gnomeo was more widely suspected. I didn't really trust my own reads so I wanted to shoot someone who was widely suspected; I didn't really see any good choices, but I wanted to kill someone.
Who do you think would have been a better shot? Was I just reading the overall trends of who was being suspected poorly? I was mostly shooting based on what I perceived to be the town's general reads, not my own.
Also: I'm 2-shot (I didn't say this initially because maybe a week ago I had a random idea that I could pretend to be 1-shot if there was a late massclaim, and then save an extra shot for drawing after 3p lylo or something like that, which is a horrible reason yes, but alas). If you do think I'm a serial killer I'm not going to have any freedom to do as I want.
In post 2152, implosion wrote:With regards to the "listening to the town is a bad strat as vig"; there are pros and cons. What you listed (it can be scum influenced) is in fact a con. But there are pros. If the vig doesn't trust their reads then it has the benefit of eliminating someone who was likely going to be lynched if not for the vig shot, so in a sense it turns into an additional lynch.
And turn around and say "I'm not taking your advice/direction into consideration"
By sacrificing your OWN opinions to follow the town's opinions, you are inherently letting the scum control the vig shot. WHICH IS BAD. So even if you DO scum read me/my slot, you ALREADY have taken scum advice for the vig shot.
pedit:
My pr isn't super strong, but I can see how it fits into the setup, even if 1 of the other claimed PRs is scum.
I'm not claiming. Tammy is confirming my role.-

But you can believe that me not town reading you is "convenient". Reading 80 pages is pretty darn convenient-

In post 2176, RedCoyote wrote:Also, if I was faking a miller, how did I know to do it BEFORE Tammy claimed? Another good question!
You didn't know. You just planned to do it as some scum plan to fakeclaim miller. If it was an all goon team I probably would too.
But yeah, a smart man named Rune once told me in another Mini Normal that claims like that mean absolutely nothing. All it proves is that you planned to play a way that is consistent in some ways with the role you claim. Does not mean it is town indicative or scum indicative, just that you planned to play that way from the beginning.-

If you do manage to convince those people that I am scum (hint: you won't, at least Tammy), what will you do when I flip town? I would hope in that scenario you quickly follow me to the grave via an Implosion shot.
pedit:
Like wow, Red Coyote, you have a majorbonerfor me. Confirmation bias all over the place-

I don't know how you aren't enjoying this seeing as you hold someone's life in your hands. That sounds exhilarating.
By everyone, RC, I also meant scum. It was another reason why I thought Implosion was scum. No way that scum targetted Gnomeo. I think Layla protected someone.-
