Who livest—that we know—
In Eternity—we feel—
But the shadow of whose brow
What spirit shall reveal?
Tho' the beings whom thy Nesace,
Thy messenger hath known
Have dream'd for thy Infinity
*A model of their own—
Thy will is done, Oh, God!
The star hath ridden high
Thro' many a tempest, but she rode
Beneath thy burning eye;
And here, in thought, to thee—
In thought that can alone
Ascend thy empire and so be
A partner of thy throne—

Lynx does seem pretty scummy though, did you roll Jester m'boy?

Let's talk about this for a second. Expound on the Lynx scumread.

-TTH


It's not a scumread, he seems to be trying to be scumread and I'm thinking about why he would do so.

He starts with: it's not OMGUS I promise (???), then an aTe about please stop voting me, then he hints PR with you will regret this and finally he avoids answering questions with random conments: I'm following the flow, he then went further with the PR hints.

He is either a very awkward scum player or something else is going on.


Policy lynch: you find it suspicious I'm trying to understand the setup? Lol. Why is Bookitty not suspicious as well?

I think Krystal is leaning town from her opening posts, the restriction means jack for her alignment and TTH should be the first to know it, this myth about restrictions being super powered PR's or scum is BS most of the time, so I'm judging her on what she says as you should, and meta reading lynx after what Ceph said was also my first reaction.

Above: copper not declaring that lynx is definitely a jester or scum and doing quite the reverse. Also there's a comment directed at us here but I don't recall saying something like that myself so I'll assume it's directed at orc.

No but I think you might have, it's just gut for now but that negative intro about giving no fucks pings me.

Drunken comments ping you now? Alright. :lol:

This looks like a lame excuse. Why not explain why what you said isn't scummy, rather than writing it off as "drunken" and apparently expecting copper to have somehow known that?

From what I've heard, Jester as a role isn't really used and is mainly the stuff of lore now.

How does "I'm thinking about why he would do so" translate to "Jester 100%"?

How did you rule out him just being a a very awkward player just in general?

He didn't????

And you know the post restriction is real... how?

You say this like scum would necessarily know if a townie restriction was real or not?

Did I mention Lucky Star aside from the plain fact you drew scum? Ceph imposed the idea I was invoking meta for the read and I wasn't.

I was bringing up meta myself as a reason I didn't especially think he was scum, and also expressing surprise you didn't feel the same.

In post 98, copper223 wrote:Your vote on me because I said the player I started the RVS on seemed scummy

Right, and the reasons you give for that range from him being scum to him being Jester (?) but don't include him just being awkward. There's a closed-mindedness about that which is scummy.

I'm gonna take issue with this. By your logic, I guess we should never suggest that anyone is scummy, because that would involve not considering the alternative? And I thought copper was leaving options pretty much open so it's also just bullshit?

In post 5, Krystal Bald wrote:*Waves*

This was the first thing she posted. It clearly wasn't facial expressions, copper.

Is it completely ridiculous that he could have forgotten about that/not cared? Why are you being so condescending?

In post 110, copper223 wrote:On why it seems likely a true restriction to me; I had that tell (which if your interpretation of post consistency is correct is weaker than I believed), the setup which is about being stuck in a mad world and fake's idea about the silence poem which I interpreted as she may have chosen something from the silence poem to submit when asked for the three Poe connections.

If it's real, my thought is they had to make up their own restriction or something. I don't see ffery inventing this one. But eh, I don't know. Krystal, does your restriction go away at any point?

In post 112, LynxKuroneko wrote:I meant I was insane as part of general game flavor, and because I normally wouldn't want to be offed. I feel like my ability is mostly anti-town, therefore I'd be the best lynch D1 (and don't want to risk getting night killed, which ignores the better part of my ability). If you read my other games you'll see that I normally try to stay alive regardless.

Arguing whether we think a post restriction is real isn't going to solve problems right now. I'd rather we scrutinize whether that player is providing town support or not, pr or no.

If we have an investigative around its up to them to sort that out.

Okay, so... if you anted to be lynched, why didn't you just ask to be lynched, and claim your negative utility? And why aren't you claiming it now?

I'm very hesitant to intentionally lynch town D1 of a mini. We don't have that much room. I feel like it's probably not as bad as you think it is.

Mostly Kthx's uninterested love of wagons bothers me. I could do with him leaving my wagon. I wasn't sure how to convey my desire to be lynched. I do feel its the best course of action though. We can socialize some more til then and see what the quiet people have to offer.

I also stated my negative utility.

You have stated that it exists.

Since you want to be lynched anyway, why not tell us exactly what it is?

Don't claim your postmortem whatever, I guess, but why do you want to be lynched, *exactly*?

Because lynching me D1 (or as early as possible seems to be the best use of my ability. As far aa negative utility, I'm not Miller, I can see what power role is used on me at night. Which is... nice? I'd just rather give town a fantastic reconnaisance opportunity through this lynch.

I echo this sentiment. I was wondering if I were town for a second too and only decided I was town because of win condition.

@Lynx
Why did you claim that if an investigative PR checked you, "townread" players would lynch you tomorrow?

I'd like to be investigated tonight, if possible. Then I will be lynched by townread players.

I don't know what you mean by this.

@LynxKuroneko: This makes less than no sense to me. If you are lynched, no power roles would be used on you at night as far as I can see. Also, asking for people to investigate you would only out those power roles, something scum would want and town would not. So:

1. What is the advantage for town in lynching you, if you have a self-watching ability?
2. What is the advantage for town power roles to investigate you?

I've been debating about talking about this, but there is something in my role PM that indicates that something could happen that could cause something else. Does anyone else know what I am talking about?

I had a thought process that I realized was stupid so I decided to start being more direct.

@Mod Lady, am I allowed to paraphrase my post-lynch ability? Just being safe.


If so then this won't need any more discussion.

How helpful is ability self-watch really? :\ I see that I was doctored, and then I wonder who it was. Then again I could use it to beat false claims, but that requires I be alive for some time and establish town cred.

I say this route is better.

@Boo, I am unaware of that last part.

No matter how good your post lynch ability is, it's almost certainly not as good as having a warm town body. Which incidentally, is obviously something you are. Lynx is obvtown in case anyone hadn't realized that. At this point, I would rather you still around and try to help us out.

I have yet to see how you are possibly negative utility in any way.

I don't want to lynch Lynx. If he's truthful (I think so) then he will be useful whenever he is lynched or nightkilled. If he's lying, then we can safely wait a while to see what happens anyway.

I like copper for town so far.
