I honestly really doubt that scum claimed at the start of the game.

[monogarden]

Since I think (hope?) he was joking, UNVOTE: PhantomCobalt

[Micc]

Since I think (hope?) he was joking, UNVOTE: PhantomCobalt

But what if he wasn't joking?

Do you see anyone more likely to be scum at this point? I think it's silly to remove your vote if you don't have anywhere better to place it.

We've got another 13-some days. I don't think it's super likely for someone to jump on and hammer but I'm more comfortable not taking the risk.

[Micc]

If you think he's scum isn't it worth the risk? A town flip a almost guarentees the person who hammered so recklessly is scum. And a scum flip is pretty nice too.

[HobbesDuncan]

I... can't really imagine anyone would be incompetent enough to just outright admit to being scum that early on- I'd barely believe it from a newbie, much less an SE.

Which of course raises the question as to what PC is actually doing, because nothing about this reads as a good play. If he's town, there'd be no reason to take the risk or pull all this initial suspicion, even as a joke. Slightly more plausible is that he's mafia and this is a very risky bit of reverse psychology or something. So, I'm willing to give him the benefit of the doubt until he responds, but I guess I'm inclined to think he's actually scum here?

Last game I played, there was a D2 quick hammer after about half a page of discussion about how the person was at L-1. The person hammered flipped town.

Turned out the hammerer was also town.

[PhantomCobalt]

Yes guys we are already out of rvs

...and presumably the hammerer learned a valuble lesson about paying attention?

But there were clearly people that wanted the player lynched or else the wagon wouldn't have been l-1. So I ask again....isn't the risk worth it?

If it goes wrong then the most suspected person in the game gets lynched. If nothing goes wrong we've moved out of RVS and begun establishing meaningful reads.

Instead you'd rather unvote and sit around and ... wait for something to happen?

[Grendel]

Hello, How are you guys tonight?

Not sure what to think of the Cobalt situation. I am glad y'all didn't end the day before I even got the chance to post anything.

To Micc, I think long days are good for town. Mafia

want

short days to limit town's discussion. Also, I wouldn't call it sitting around, there is always something to discuss.

As this is my first post I just want to say: I look forward to matching wits with all you guys!

[Thor665]

So I guessed we have started. Anyone have any leads yet?

Yeah, I'm a daycop and you're scum

Vote: Col Mongoose

What leads do you have?

[Pants98]

.

Why would he have claimed scum then? It's either a townie who has no idea how to play this game. Or a noob scum. Noob scum is more likely.

Seconded - I wasn't going to say anything if it was just me, but those posts are straight up difficult to decipher.
It's a newbie, we're fighting uphill enough already

[Thor665]

He is provably not brand new at the site, so both of your theories seem to have a hole in them - does that concern you?

[Col Mongoose]

Either PC is Scum or he's lieing. So it stands to reason that either way a lynch would not a bad thing because when it comes down to it he can't be trusted. what is he going to counter claim that he the doctor or jailor to try and weasel his way out of getting lynched.

[Col Mongoose]

At Thor665 if you were daycop why not investigate the guy we are trying to lynch to confirm what his alignment and role is? Most suspicions.

[PhantomCobalt]

VOTE: Col

Lynch all non thread readers

[Grendel]

I like the computer talk thing Shadow is doing.

Col Mongoose, I sincerely doubt PC is going to be able to slip through the cracks at this point. He tripped too hard to go unnoticed even as the day goes on. I'm quite certain he'll be lynched before the end of the day phase. So I wouldn't worry about it. (I'm p sure day cop is a joke right?)

[PhantomCobalt]

I'm going to actually be mad if I get lynched

[Grendel]

Well, What would you call claiming a maf role blocker? a joke? Brah pls.

[PhantomCobalt]

What's the difference between claiming day cop and claiming mafia role blocker?

[PhantomCobalt]

VOTE: Grendel

[Grendel]

Interesting point, but by claiming mafia, joke or otherwise, you reveal you're a threat to town. If you're a real mafia you're our foe, if you're joking you've caused an unnecessary distraction that detracts from that day's discussion, as well as making people super wary of you.

A day cop wouldn't be a threat to town, lol. At worse he could be a mafia claiming cop, which would be a gambit in of itself, ei low rate of success.

If you're voting to bait into an OMGUS counter vote it won't work. I never vote this early in the day.
