While it's bad to lose an active town, chances are they are vanilla townie and we can base future Lynchs off the reactions/comments of others. A pine lynch without him defending himself could cause us to lose an important town role. Not only that, we gain far less info from a pine lynch
Exactly.
Well, let's see who replaces Pine.

Day 1


The psychological pressure of the Escape Room seemed to have taken its toll on bjc0303, who
had been staring at the noose for hours and not uttering a single word. A concerned Pine came
up to him and tried to detect signs of life by talking and waving his hand in front of his eyes, but
it was all in vein. The boy was not responding to anything.

Pine:
Damn. I think he's gone catatonic.

The speakers immediately buzzed into action.

Tribunal:
Did I just hear the c-word? How unfortunate. Here, let me help you with that...
Pine:
Wait, NO NO NOOOOO---

But the trap door had already gaped open and both Pine and bjc0303 disappeared in its maw.
Agitated by this unfair punishment, Srceenplay started vehemently protesting and demanding
his beloved Pine back.

Srceenplay:
Pine was innocent! He was just trying to help the comatose guy! Let him play!
Tribunal:
(Sighing) Fiiiine. I'm pretty sure he was just using that as an excuse to skirt away from the game,
but I'll make an exception this one time. Only because he's cute. Srceenplay, you might want to make room for---

Two brave adventurers fell from the ceiling on top of Srceenplay before the Tribunal could finish
her sentence.

Pine:
Thank you for softening the fall, Srceeny!
Srceenplay:
Ghuuuh... why can't you guys just use the normal, regular, walk-in kind of door?
CogMachine:
Sorry uhh "Srceeny". We weren't allowed to go through the normal, regular, walk-in kind of door.
Srceenplay:
Yeah, yeah. You're welcome.

In the meantime, nancy updated the vote board and tapped it with her chalk, reminding the trio
to stop stalling and focus, lest they found themselves in the pit again. A suggestion they all took
very seriously.

I'm actually reading you as Town and the theory you're pushing here is pretty blatantly dumb and in ingorance of how partner interactions even work. If you want to scumread Pine for chainsawing you're more than welcome to but you're silly if you're conf!biasing on that so hard to manufacture a townread on an objectively obvscum slot just because it agrees with your misguided ideas about win-con. The mod hasn't intervened. Guess what that means? I'm not breaking any rules. I'm just pushing a philosophy. You don't like teaching and want gear up the game to churn out wins for newbies, go for it. I'd rather focus on teaching and if I have the chance to royally fuck over a newbie like I do right now with Noodle I'm not going to because it won't be fun for him or anyone else. I'm not going to play hard because I care about teaching. This is the newbie queue. Keep the tryhard for the normal queue.

@nancy-- What theory am I pushing? Which of Tes and Noodle is "objectively obvscum"?

Also, you are mistaken about the role of SE players in the Newbie Queue. SE's have no obligation to teach. If anything, SE's not playing hard for wincon hurts Newbie games.

The one I am voting. This isn't about the role of SEs. I'm not an SE. You treating this as if it's some objective truth is the whole issue here. Instead of letting it drop as a difference in philosophy you've continued to push the fuck out of this all game long as though I'm not playing to win. It's nauseating by now, for the love of god.

I'd feel bad about lynching you for being helpful, should you actually be serious about this. But considering you're a player and scum would use every strat to avoid looking suspicious, I'll stand my case;
I find it suspicious that you're so keen about proclaiming that you'd like to teach.
Guess it's not enough though, and MiniDeathStar's latest post makes me doubt my theory. Ugh.

I'd like to see you try!
Stop pitying me, and give me your best shot. If I'm obvscum it shouldn't be hard at all. We all got into the game prepared to be lynched at first day. I won't be bitter, and I doubt the others will be either. Being an semi-experienced player, you know this - and tbh you're just making yourself more suspicious.

Ok. I agree that trying to break setup in a newbie game is shitty. I don't think it should be the norm.

If you have "the chance" to push someone you should. I think the best way to learn is to be pushed or even screw up. You saying you don't want to sounds scumy to me. Like you know you have something to push but you don't want to because you know it's a lie. Because if that's the case I can understand your thought about it not being fun. Because no one wants to be pushed and told they are something they aren't.

Alright, I'm here. Scum can just give up now.

Strong reads:

TesXX
: Obvious town is obvious town. I think his focus on setup is about what you'd expect from a more inexperienced player. Linking sources rather than belaboring the point and arguing about it for all of day one is a town play. Going with the plan is a town play. If he's scum, he's actively hurting his team. I'll probably revisit this if he's not killed by day 3 or so.

Look at this thread for evidence. RVS has been stilted by the philosophical differences in your insistence that people claim and my refusal to claim. Discussing theory at this point is not at all conducive to scumhunting, which is what we should be doing and which is what RVS is designed to facilitate.
Ok, you're town. (Not just for this post, but this sticks out to me as a post no mafia would make)

Yes.
Let's kill him.
Better than a possible mislynch of an active town. Can you agree with that?
This is a mafia argument. Period. It sets up "well at least we killed a lurker!" and "No one can be blamed".

Really, only scum care about how "easy" it is to lynch someone. Towns care about identifying scum.

Its a difference in objectives you just made apparent.

Fight me.
