He's got to be scum sometimes.

7 or 8, but this is an unusual format, especially since you can take someone's bankroll by lynching them.In post 27, BlueBloodedToffee wrote:Wow, so on a scale of 1-10, how good are y'all at poker?
If you win the first pot we're going to lynch you anyway, just to take your $.In post 32, lane0168 wrote:Lol still no. I'm afraid to play scum when you're in the game so I'm just going to be town this game
Yeah I figured it would be holdem or draw.In post 33, BlueBloodedToffee wrote:Alch, is it possible to change poker variants each DP or no? Also, I expected this to be like a traditional no limit hold em format so I'm a little bit sad.

So why did you bet all your money?In post 40, lane0168 wrote:I won't win lol
Money buys PRs. The top tier in particular is sweet for scum. But note that after a PR is bought once, it's off the market. So, scum have incentive to go after 2 and 3 as well. The lowest one is pretty meh.In post 45, Something_Smart wrote:Eww. Earning money is not necessarily part of your wincon. Although I think that 42 is an awfully big leap to take.
I'm sure scum had pre-game talk, I've never seen a game where they didn't.
Unless your scum buddy told you he had a strong hand.In post 57, lane0168 wrote:And even if that was my plan to give my money away, magna, chances are it goes to town.
I also consider lane to be impulsive and could see it coming from town!lane, but yes, it needs to be watched. It shouldn't matter for today. If Lane loses as he says he will, then it would be the winner we would want to lynch. I'm kind of kicking myself for mentioning the possibility when I did. It might have been more informative to let the hand play out before saying anything.In post 62, RedCoyote wrote: Does this necessarily point to lane as scum though? I'm thinking no. lane strikes me as the impulsive type. I don't get the feeling that his bet was part of a gambit, but it's something to still consider going forward.
No, then we're all held up by the slowest player. I want to see more hands.Fold... are we going in any specific order? I didn't see anything about this in the rules. If not, should the town organize a makeshift order of players so that the scum cannot act in unison to their advantage? We could use dice tags to keep it random.
I would have liked it better if you pleaded ignorance. Before the US got shut down I played a ton of online poker. First-hand all-ins usually got at least one caller on 10-person tables, and here we have 13. Also note that the sites watched for collusion, including chip dumping from one player to another.In post 75, lane0168 wrote:How is my all in scummy? Unless the mm is my partner. Otherwise it could just be someone who tried to bluff and got called. You guys obviously know nothing about poker. People bluff. Sometimes it works. Sometimes it doesn't. I think it's obvious you guys know nothing about poker to think that there would obviously be a call on all in first hand. You're trying to make it scummy when it isn't.
There's no hero worship. We just have a history of working well together once we're convinced each other are town (I'm not there yet).In post 107, MagnaofIllusion wrote:I also an very, very wary of Lane’s buddying / borderline hero worship with Pers.
Actually MM would look a lot better if he had simply said he has a great hand and so he called. Claiming he was pre-empting scum's plan is bad. As has been already noted, if here were really thinking at that level, he would have waited for scum to call before going in himself.In post 109, MagnaofIllusion wrote:It is also possible that MM has a good 5 card draw hand and he pre-empted scum’s plan as Town.
While this is a little vague I think my interpretation is probably what was meant, and it's best for the game. Otherwise people could space out folds so that there's never a second hand.-Any player who has not chosen an action by deadline or within 48 hours after the last action was made will forfeit their hand.
No reason to change before the showdown. The hands might tell us something.In post 158, Infinity 324 wrote:So, anyone up for an RC wagon?
Yep.In post 188, Something_Smart wrote:Persivul, now you understand why MM called.
Nope.Do you understand why he kept changing his story about why he called?
It's scummy. If he had just saidDo you think that says anything about his alignment?
Giving the true reason is natural as town. Making one excuse after another isn't.In post 193, Infinity 324 wrote:MM making excuses as a response to being attacked for a mistake is natural both as scum and town.
I hadn't checked it. When mod pointed it out I said This time... just to be a dick.In post 203, MagnaofIllusion wrote:
This reaction seems a little odd to me given Kappy was set to auto-fold in under 7 hours.
Lane's hand is as bad as he indicated. This is compatible with a chip dump, or a bluff gone wrong. As previously noted, the bluff gone wrong isn't convincing because lane later claimed decent poker knowledge, and with this many players someone who knows poker should expect a call. OTOH and as also noted, when real money isn't on the line people do shit like that.So what exactly did the hands show you then?
Did you read your role PM?In post 205, MagnaofIllusion wrote:I buy it because I made the same mistake - albeit not directly in thread. At one point after I initially read the rules I thought it was odd that Governor and Vengeful were exactly twice the starting amount. I went back to double check and found out I was wrong. SO i don't see it as some smoking gun.
Point being that having seen what I take was an earlier price list isn't a good excuse, as the PMs specifically said stuff had changed and we were to read it before confirming.In post 212, MagnaofIllusion wrote:Your point?In post 211, Persivul wrote:Mine said that the initial rules had changed so be sure to read up before confirming.
No. Last time I saw you lurk like this you were scum.In post 227, FA_Q2 wrote:Give me time - been a busy week.In post 218, Persivul wrote:Same for FAQ unfortunately.
The best choices are really fucking obvious. The point was to see his frame of mind.In post 228, FA_Q2 wrote:This is rather blatant role fishing. There is no town reason to tell scum what you are going to do with the money gained - it jsut tells them who they need to eliminate and/or what potential a particular slot may have.
The role fishing charge is terrible in this setup. The people with enough money to buy roles is public knowledge, and scum will be motivated to kill those people.In post 283, FA_Q2 wrote:Persivul is next because of his reaction to me calling him out on role fishing. Rather than engage me on it he sidestepped it and went OMGUS with a bullshit reason.

If we're going to use 48 hours, then only bets and raises should count as actions. Folds and calls shouldn't.In post 321, lane0168 wrote:Actions need to be 12 hours or next post. Whichever is greater. Or something like that
Yeah that would work.In post 324, lane0168 wrote:Yes, or just make every hand 48 hours. If you can't act, then your hand is folded.
Cool, that means if fire calls or folds, the hand is over.In post 342, qubixes wrote:@Persivul: I already folded
A more likely possibility is simply that his memory was off. I've said similar things as town and found I was wrong after researching, and I've only been her a year.In post 355, MagnaofIllusion wrote:The point of the meta argument is that if Red Coyote was being honest his assessment of my play should say I'm probably Town.
