Okay, or minutes >_>.
I read pretty quickly, going to try and re-read in depth shortly. First thoughts:
Daytalking seems cool, and I think can be effective, but not to the extent that it detracts from the game. It seems to help scum more than town, town can use it in a couple of ways tho. Plan actions with someone you really think is town, pick someone's brain who might not want to reveal it publicly... If there is more than that, bring it up, we have no advantage here besides daytalking, so we want to use that. I feel that there hasn't been enough discussion about *how* to use daytalk.
For example, I don't see how interrogating someone privately is better than publicly, and many seem to have implied that. I once daytalked with scum (Yosarian2
![Razz :P](./images/smilies/icon_razz.gif)
) over AIM, even, and I'm not sure how effective that was. I thought he was scum, but I thought so before and after the daytalk.
If anyone wants to daytalk with me, shoot me a PM and we can make a quickboard topic thing, and see where it goes -- I find them much easier to read than PM-chains. I haven't been on AIM a lot recently, and I'm not going to change that for this game. Post in thread is as important if not more than daytalk though :\.
About the players:
Adel, I'm really unsure about. Seriously "lynch my buddy" or whatever? I'm not sure how sparking discussion in that manner is pro-town. "Add a godfather and a cop"? Changing setup midgame just seems really really odd to me. I agree that we are in a tough spot (we have only 1 mislynch available to us, or we lose, and no powerroles), but chaning the setup midway seems unfair. Adel is crazy though (:.
I can see the case on kab. He hasn't explained his vote on vollkan particularly well, and doesn't seem to be reacting well to pressure. I'm not sure what is so bad about his lemmingness though, it doesn't seem to be a pattern for him, and doesn't seem particularly prevalent.
Phate, on the other hand, has been a lemming also, and hasn't attracted much if any attention for it. He has also been more of a lemming. Those two combined make me suspicious.
vote: Phate
. He also has kinda been lurkerish.
Adel and Phate would prob. be my top 2 atm. I definitely want a concentrated re-read on Adel. I can understand the reasons for wagons on Adel and on kab, so there's nothing I can point to particularly as "X is trying to railroad townies --> scum".
Kab, can you summarize in one post your thoughts on vollkan? Who else are you suspicious of?
Adel, sup with NabNab?
I'll re-read more in depth at sometime, maybe now, maybe a few days, depends. I'm going to try and look at people's stances on xyzzy and scot, and look to see if there are any players who bear collaborating with.
Right now, I'm not sure who I'm interested in having private convo with. I I think I'll shoot a PM to kab but that's it at the moment.
Do not lynch me.
