Damn.It's always the same. When you fire that first shot, no matter how right you feel, you have no idea who's going to die. You don't know whose children are going to scream and burn. How many hearts will be broken. How many lives shattered. How much blood will spill, until everybody does what they're always going to have to do from the very beginning... SIT DOWN AND TALK!-

Disagree, if someone is run up and claims gun, then we see if there's a CC. If there is, and either of them claims to be able to shoot the next night, we let them shoot and lynch whoever said so if the shot fails. If neither of them can shoot the next night, just lynch the one who claimed first, it's not as if we get no info from that-- we still get a 1 in 2.In post 17, hitogoroshi wrote:Hmm, and writing this out now makes me think that maybe we do want to force town gun to claim now (but not which night). If we get one with no cc's it's a confirmed town and if we get a cc we get a 1 in 2 mafia which is a neat deal. But if the claim only happens when strung up then the info becomes effectively worthless. So I'm on team Gun-claim-now. That track for everyone else?
If gun claims D1 they always get shot N1 and then we lose our conftown. Even worse if they're not N1 gun because then they don't even get a chance to shoot.It's always the same.

Not sure about this for three reasons. One, it's helpful to have a confscum dead so that we can scumhunt off of associatives. Two, especially if this occurs D1, we may give a mafia gun an extra shot by letting them live an extra night. And three, it's unlikely that scum would counterclaim to lynch a gun claim when they can just shoot them-- so counterclaims can PROBABLY be trusted. That does depend on the numbers though, because we don't know if scum are going to hit active roses or not.In post 26, implosion wrote:if we run someone up today and they claim gun, and the real gun sees this and knows that they're mafia, they shouldn't counterclaim. Instead they should just shoot them (on whatever night they can), because they're mafia and the mafia probably took guns (and even if they took roses, it's not guaranteed they'd be on the same night(s) as the town gun).It's always the same.

I rarely participate in RVS. I don't change my vote much, especially early, and it has more meaning to myself and to others when they can see my vote on a VC and immediately know it's serious. Argue with me on whether that's a good idea all you want, but it's what I do, and I don't use my vote a lot on D1 anyway because I usually focus on townhunting.In post 49, Lady Lambdadelta wrote:Oh and this vote wasn't random, by the by. S_S's entrance was not good. Actively choosing to decline the gambit choice (be the third vote on the Pops wagon v. start your own RVS wagon) and just post an empty phrase as he did feels like he was trying to slip into the thread, look like he's arrived but dodge having to enter crossfires early.
Also, I play by egosearch. So I still wanted to post, even though I had nothing to say.It's always the same.

Well, no. It's not a trust tell unless you explicitly uphold it as both town and scum, and you explicitly insist that you uphold it as both town and scum, and I don't think e said anything amounting to the latter. Without that it's just a regular tell.In post 66, Lady Lambdadelta wrote:Oh god it's a literal actual trust tell

I very rarely see random accusations made early and not accompanied by an RVS vote by players of either alignment, so even if it is town indicative, the fact that the vast majority of people don't do it means that not doing it is hardly going to be scum indicative.It's always the same.

I would rather lynch the gun today with a guarantee of lynching mafia tomorrow, if the gun was already the scummiest player alive, than I would have the gun claim today and get killed tonight. So with respect to 2), I say that if someone does claim gun on the stand, we ask for CC's, and if there's a CC lynch the first claimer regardless.
Worst case scenario, that puts us in 4:1 if scum CC, and it's more likely to put us in 8:1 if the original gun claimer was scum.It's always the same.

In general, yes you're probably right.In post 89, hitogoroshi wrote:voting vs townhunting are not at all at odds - the more you utilize your vote, the more you'll find townies, as well as scum.
However, just because something's true for most people doesn't make it true for everyone. You might even be right about it being true for me, but I'm basing my actions off of my experience-- and in my experience, I usually don't get better reads as a result of my votes.
If you'd like me to vote a particular person for reactions and you have a good reason for it, that's not a bad compromise.It's always the same.

I mean, it's still objectively better for scum to claim gun. They get lynched either way, but they can force the gun to CC first.It's always the same.

No because gun claims are >50% scum. So if we let a gun claim live to night, we're more likely giving an extra shot to scum than giving an extra shot to town.It's always the same.

Sure, I would agree that he as town would probably have a direction, or maybe several possible directions, he intended to go with that vote.
I don't see why he would have to announce or work toward the direction immediately upon placing the vote, and it's strange for you to jump straight to "there is no reason" rather than "he hasn't shared it yet."
I don't doubt that implosion is a capable enough scum player to have in mind some town reasoning for making a vote. It's not really a fair or valid assumption to say that because the reason isn't clear yet, there must not be one.It's always the same.

There was something about LLD getting her feathers in a ruffle that I didn't really understand, nor was I interested in trying to.
I also had a bit of a back-and-forth with hito about the value of using your vote which is likely to be illuminating on how he plays at the very least, as well as possibly other people who subscribe to his philosophy.

Hmm
I will agree with hito that sitting on my vote is a lot less effective in a game where four others are doing the same thing, and I will trust that you have a good reason to say that.
(I don't actually think I've ever played with Pine, but I definitely know his scum reputation.)

So you think he made the conscious decision to disappear, because he was too scared or something?It's always the same. When you fire that first shot, no matter how right you feel, you have no idea who's going to die. You don't know whose children are going to scream and burn. How many hearts will be broken. How many lives shattered. How much blood will spill, until everybody does what they're always going to have to do from the very beginning... SIT DOWN AND TALK!-

I mean, I'm going to eventually put it somewhere where five other people might also put theirs. If they don't, it hardly matters where it is.In post 277, Haschel Cedricson wrote:However, if you're going to do that then you need to be actively looking for a place to eventually put it and I see no evidence that S_S is doing that.
When I start wagons they don't take off, this is a rule almost without exception. So it's likely I'll be looking at the wagons that are forming closer to deadline and supporting the one I'm most comfortable with.
My vote isn't worth very much right now. My D1 scumreads are probably no better than random, on average. That's why I'm being so reactive with my vote, and why I usually wouldn't have it down at all at this juncture.It's always the same.

In post 293, Haschel Cedricson wrote:Xyzzy has three votes right now. What are your thoughts on the votes on the wagon?
The wagon has existed for so long and off the top of my head I really couldn't think of a reason why.
I went back and looked, and it's still pretty nebulous. LLD voted (59) for disliking a single apparent contradiction in a single post, in what looks to be confbias since she pointed out the contradiction and then said "this was a failed push attempt" as though that's the only explanation.
Ceph's vote (explained in 204) is based on a personal experience tell-- that players whom you don't seem to remember anything about are more likely scum. I myself have seen that be successful but it usually seems to just be a player thing to me-- some players I just have a hard time remembering their posts.
Implosion justified his vote after the fact in 261 which is pretty similar to the above only even less so-- dislike of a post (229) that is a lot of words to not say very much. Being the master of that myself, I'm not really compelled by that argument.
So, overall. Still confused by it, but not really surprised, because xyzzy hasn't done anything that would make people want to move off him. Not particularly keen on it myself.It's always the same.

I'd disagree with both parts of this, actually. I think I reached a pretty clear conclusion-- that people's reasons for voting xyzzy are dubious. And I don't think I really went off topic or took weird turns in my argument.In post 305, Haschel Cedricson wrote:In post 296, Something_Smart wrote:A whole lot of paragraphs that go out of their way to not actually say anything.Vote: Something_Smart

Sounds like your issue with xyzzy doesn't really have to do with using a lot of words to say nothing then, no? Because failing to proactively engage people seems pretty different from that.
I will say, though, that I do also have times when I will behave that way as town, although they usually happen in large games when I can afford to drop out of the discussion without slowing down the game.It's always the same.

By the way, what Haschel described is way closer to my normal towngame than to my normal scumgame. I have had scumgames where I've been able to act in a similar way but I usually do so in an awkward and a stilted manner, so if you don't think that's how I'm acting, then it makes me likely town.It's always the same.

Hell if I know. My guess right now if I had to make one would be you, but I doubt that's > rand.
I'm not concerned with my lack of scumreads, however I am concerned with my lack of townreads. I just reread most of the game and couldn't really find any slots I could confidently call town.
My current townlist looks something like LLD, Cephrir, Cyanjet but I don't feel confident in that in the slightest.It's always the same.

Reading posts before you replaced in is one thing, but reading posts after you replaced in but before you've had a chance to engage is pretty reasonable.

I stared at your ISO for like ten minutes and couldn't come up with an answer.In post 401, popsofctown wrote:Something Smart am I scum?
Your pushes have all been weak. But, a lot of times scum will stay away from the LHF because they can get townpoints defending them later. That's my scum style. Is it yours? Who knows.
Your grandstanding on xyzzy feels like you genuinely don't know or think he'll flip town. But humorous overconfidence is something that a lot of people can fake as scum. Is that something you do? Who knows.
Alisae didn't really have a strong read on you, e had you as town and then later mentioned you as scum due to your weak push on Pine. Do you kill em for that? Who knows. Depends on your partner probably.
