UK Meet 2015 Invitational (Game Over)

"i'm caught scum and i can't really argue"

[ChannelDelibird]

You're right. I'm scum and I decided to confess. I've never been flustered by a wagon on me as town before. Certainly not at the very meet which thus we celebrate.

[Shanba]

Yeah but you also get flustered as scum.

Why are you flustered over a small wagon?

i dunno i only played like three games at the last meet and I've been drunk since then

[inspiratieloos]

Feel a bit awkward. Honestly kinda understand the votes on me and am rather self-conscious at the moment as a result so I don't want to force anything but inspie's entrance was kinda bad, yo.

I had to put some reason for voting Poro.

As for you, I'm not really seeing the problem, you did something notable in RVS so people voted you. The only thing I don't get is why you went off Poro just when his wagon might go somewhere.

[ChannelDelibird]

Yeah but you also get flustered as scum.

Sure. Doesn't make Nexus right.

Why are you flustered over a small wagon?

Well, it's irrational, but here's the thought process, more or less:

1) So I say something awkward/recognise that people think I said something awkward
2) Aware that if I say something else awkward, maybe it'll snowball and I'll get lynched (as has happened before)
3) Aware that nothing else is happening in this game right now so people are going to be particularly keen to get things going, looks like that's going to be on me
4) Because nothing else is happening in this game right now, there's not a lot about which I can think other than how people are thinking about me

I mean, ultimately I'm reasonably confident that after a bit of pressure people should realise that I'm town, and of course the game has to start somewhere, but right now the game's set up for me to be very self-conscious, so here I am. I guess this is what early votes are for? It's just more helpful to me when they poke at people whose alignments I don't already know.

If you wanted Prozac to maybe get flustered by the votes on him, wouldn't a naked vote have been more likely to accomplish that than jumping on the stats thing, which makes it look more like a joke?

It hasn't happened yet but I promise I'm keeping my mind open.

inspie might also be scum actually.

[Ampersand]

I was going to make a scummy-looking comment about something Fenchurch didn't post because she thought it looked scummy but then I thought that comment looked scummy so I didn't post it.

But yeah, we should probably just lynch insp.

Vote: insp

[Shanba]

I'm sort of curious as to what the scummy thing was...

write it down so it can be seen postgame?

Ampersand looks pretty townish to me.

unvote vote Inspie

[Porochaz]

Really not liking the run of cdb's posts. Context gets lost in writing, but its reminding me of a certain scum game in Orlando, tone wise. As for inspie, Im not sure I get it. The joke or the votes.

[Elmo]

I feel like my vote is precisely where it needs to be.

Please elaborate.

I'm way town, though!

Honestly kinda understand the votes on me and am rather self-conscious at the moment

{..}

Huh? What changed?

I'm finding it hard to interpret Av/Shanba's third votes; feels rather different to F2F.

[Nexus]

Elmo, u scum m8?

[ChannelDelibird]

'way town' was a comment on my alignment, not a judgement on my own posts

9 alive, 5 to lynch.

Nobody is in prod-range. Very good, people.

[Shanba]

Different to face to face for sure...

also I haven't played a forum mafia game in a long time, so this is taking some getting back used to.

[Ampersand]

At least I'm not trying to get you mislynched this time? That should be helpful.

Primate, you should place a vote.

[Primate]

It's like 3am, so I wont be posting tonight. I'll catch up to the past day or so tomorrow morning.

[ChannelDelibird]

AV's vote seemed townish, I thought.

[inspiratieloos]

I didn't think it would make a difference.

It was an inside joke on my part, which I'm pretty sure I explained at 2013 meet (although I doubt anyone remembers that), but not this meet. I've had a series of games before where one of the other players was similarly 'statistically likely to be scum' to you.



@Shanba, Did Ampersand do anything that seemed particularly townish to you after you voted them, or did you already think they were town when you did?

[Shanba]

I liked the two posts after I voted them, I had no particular read on them before that.

[Porochaz]

vote elmo

[Nexus]

seems a bit of a weird one

[Ampersand]

I'm sort of curious as to what the scummy thing was...

Oh I'll just say it now because by the end of the game I'll have forgotten. I was going to say something along the lines of:

'inspi might be scum. But I'm not that confident in the read as I don't know that I can tell his scum-game and town-game apart that well, especially this early.'

Then I decided against that second sentence because:
a) it seemed a bit pointless, basically posting for the sake of posting
b) it kinda weakens my declaration of a scumread on inspi if I then say I can't read him.

I was disappointed in myself that I didn't have more to say at that stage, but decided it was better to post a one-liner than to add bulk and make a worse post.

But I don't mind saying it now because I've just re-read and now I feel like I have a bit more of a handle on this game...
