That is some bad setup spec. Scum could have daytalk regardless of network position.

That is some bad setup spec. Scum could have daytalk regardless of network position.
Hence the futility of setup spec, at least for right now.
Hmm...My preferred answer would have gotten me modkilled, so I will go with my general desire to build wagons.
It is outguessing the mod because your entire logical structure relies on outguessing the mod.In post 19, beastcharizard wrote:It is my opinion that we should lynch between those 4 people. This isn't out guess the mod this is logic.
The answer is completely irrelevant. I have no way of knowing. It would not surprise me if scum could target anyone. But that does not mean that the standard node structure applies to maf kills.The scum have to be able to target every player in the game or else the game would be unbalanced. If there is a player the scum can't target with an action that would mean the player HAS to be lynched. Lynching is controlled by the town and is the only guaranteed power which we have. Making a town player only kill-able by a town power wouldn't be fair.
Do you believe that scum are not able to target everyone in the game?
All the mod has to tell the maf is that NKs reach up to three nodes away and your theory is irrelevant. Why would you think the mod would design such an obviously broken game?In post 1, kunkstar7 wrote:The players within this game are considered individual nodes in a connected network. These connections determine the flow and reach of abilities. (If your role has an ability, yourRole PM will dictate available targets for any actions. Thisgenerallymeans that you will only be able to target people directly connected to you.)
Or it could mean that one or more players have actions that have distance greater than one node's worth.In post 23, beastcharizard wrote:The actions could mean that 5 can attack 9 because they have a partner connected to 9. That would explain the generally statement.
No, I said that it would be obviously broken if you were correct and your misinterpretation of the rules were correct.You say that is obviously broken but then why did no one say anything about it if it was so obvious?
That does not follow.In post 36, beastcharizard wrote:It is all we have to go off of at this point so it is a good place to start.
The same place all games start would be my recommendation.No one else is giving ideas on where to start.
If you are scum, very high. If you are town, too high.In post 41, beastcharizard wrote:The people I want to lynch are the people who don't like my theory. What are the chances of that?
That does not make it better than no theory.Also, like I have said it is a theory and it is the only one we have.
Because you have not presented a compelling case that the scum are more likely to be in any set of nodes than any other set of modes. Perhaps subsequent evidence will change that, but we have absolutely no flips and no information upon which to base any setup speculation. Therefore we should not engage in it, period.I also said I might not have gotten all of the possible combinations. Lastly I said it was most likely for the scum to be in those 2 pairs of people. You aren't explaining why it is bad you are just saying it is bad.
This is such crap I do not even know how to respond. Are you saying that standard scumhunting somehow does not apply to this game? Do you expect to receive divine messages or get beamed information (cf. Philip K. Dick) about the setup? The mod has stated the game is balanced. Therefore it is obviously not able to be broken on Day 1 via setup spec.In post 45, beastcharizard wrote:Aegor is saying lets ignore what I have said and just pretend this is a normal game.

That is not the point at issue. NS asserted that BC was pushing for lynches regardless of scumminess. This isIn post 74, Paschendale wrote:I wouldn't call that a misrep. Pushing for lynches based on setup spec is exactly what Charizard was doing.
In what way, specifically?Charizard has also changed his story, or rather, changed the results that his supposed mathematical ideas give.
Not true. Later, he simply added two additional slots based on the frequency of appearance. The other nodes he wanted to lynch among remained in play for the original reasons. He did not alter his justification; he simply expanded the scope.In post 77, Paschendale wrote:The reasoning for choosing which numbers to attack was not the same in post 17 as it was later,
He absolutely explained why they were added. But it could still be an opportunistic play, yes.and he added two more targets without explanation, and they just happened to be his detractors.
I agree. That does not make BC scum.And, of course, he cannot address the counter that his idea doesn't actually help find scum at all. It only helps to determine whose abilities would be the most effective. His whole point ignores that roles are random.
You are correct.In post 91, RedCoyote wrote:I don't agree with this, and I don't think Aegor would agree with this characterization either. I don't wish to speak for Aegor, but I would be hardpressed to believe that he absolutely doesn't believe in setup speculation. And I don't know where you get "against everyone" from. That's over-the-top.
I am tiring of this cagey nonsense. Please do not waste our time with extremely vague statements that take up room in this thread without being verifiable or even intelligible. Let cxinlee respond, then actually explain what you are talking about in detail or do not mention it again.In post 126, snscompt1 wrote:I'd like for him to post more before I explain further.
Cxinlee thought this was a slip because RC said "day talk (or lack thereof)" when this setup is NIGHTLESS, thus lack of daytalk = no communication. That is clearly what cxinlee was talking about, because that was the quote and explanation he gave right in the fucking middle of his post.I don't like that he's talking about scum communication. It implies that he has too much knowledge about whether the scum have day talk (or a lackthereof) to me. I wouldn't have even considered the idea of using nodes to talk/not talk between scum.
The fact that you and cxinlee have some sort of associated PR, you donut!In post 192, snscompt1 wrote:But now I pose a question to you. What information have I given scum about the setup that they wouldn't already know? I'd love to know.

No idea who is who nor will I spill their names. Aegor and Charizard, you guys both misunderstand. I said I know of 5 roles. THERE COULD BE MORE. But I know of five.

Just because?

Why? Say that sns is scum and an associative PR with cxinlee, and that there are three scum, which sns obviously knows. sns does not count himself as scum (obviously), so 2+3 = 5, hence the 5/13. I can totally see that happening.In post 271, RedCoyote wrote:Of course he didn't scumslip, you fiend. Good gravy, how could any sane/non-scum person come to the conclusion that sns "accidentally" told people the 5/13 thing. To seriously consider that as a slip is straight-up insanity.

Precisely the opposite. I think it is possible that he was careless.Suffice it to say that you're making boatloads of assumptions all founded on the faulty premise that sns is a brilliant scum mastermind
Are you even reading my posts? At no point do I assume he outed his partner. What are you even talking about?that made the strategic choice to out his partner in order to get people to think he was "too stupid" to be scum.
NO.In post 276, snscompt1 wrote:And Aegor, I still don't see what you're saying about the 5/13. Assuming three scum, are we also assuming 3 PR roles?
No criminal mastermind thinking necessary.sns' mind wrote:I know there are three scum. I also know I am a PR with cxinlee. I will therefore say 5/13, since I will present myself as a town PR.
The fact that he produced a number deliberately does not exclude the possibility that he carelessly generated that number.In post 281, RedCoyote wrote:Yes, I suppose I'm confusing it with idk or beast. All these kooky "scumslip" theories sound alike to me, so you'll have to forgive me. The idea that someone would seriously sit there and think that sns "carelessly" said 5/13 boggles my mind. It's quite clear he was very deliberate and purposeful when he made that comment. It was not careless, accidental or inadvertent in the least. He knew exactly what he was doing.
RC, why are you not reading my posts? The only thing unreasonable is your apparent illiteracy in a game that relies entirely on reading.In post 298, RedCoyote wrote:It's quite obvious he's town for this. What's your argument for him doing this as scum?Either you take the position of Aegor, that he did this "carelessly" and the "5/13" was accidentally typed up in, presumably...Either scenario is laughably absurd and completely unreasonable.You push this at your own peril, beast, because I think you're harming this town to reduce it to such nonsense. Rest assured I will be hammering that point home all day, every day until/unless you capitulate.
I am sure you are aware of the impossibility of your actually proving that statement.In post 303, RedCoyote wrote: Not reading your posts? I've spent more time contemplating this sns situation than any other player in this game.
I did not use it in the way you asserted I did.So you're telling me you didn't use the word "carelessly" to describe sns' drop?
It was the first thought that came to mind. In fact, it was so immediately plausible that its inception (hahahahahahaha) was unnoticeable.I've bent over backwards to understand your cockamamie theories. They don't make any sense whatsoever.
No, it is not. It is perfectly reasonable, even if incorrect.For you to seriously consider that as a "scumslip" is illogical and absurd.
It is not garbage, and your insults are pathetic given that they only thinly veil your utter lack of reading comprehension and your obviously unsound strategy to name-call instead of responding substantively.How am I supposed to describe a supposed scumslip (the exact word you used, Aegor) if not with "accidental"? I can appreciate that your pride is hurt by me calling you out for such garbage, but your insults won't get me to change my mind, try as you might.
He was always active lurking because his original idea involved no scumhunting.beast's rolefishing is much more sinister in that he started active lurking once I started calling him out for it, effectively shielding him from the spotlight.
I think this is the only real argument in favor of his lynch.After already taking a lot of flak for his bad outguess-the-Mod theories earlier in this game, he was likely wise enough to simply duck any further scrutiny at the end of this day lest he swing the momentum back toward him.
That just tells me beast has principles.Further, beast isstillletting his vote languish ineffectively despite being well informed of the fact that sns will not be lynched today and no one, aside from you, has shown even the slightest of interest in joining him.
Are we reading the same thread? RC is very clearly white knighting sns.In post 308, StrangerCoug wrote:Both of these accusations are very weak. The evidence supports a natural development of his beastcharizard read, and you don't demonstrate how RedCoyote is white-knighting snscompt1.
Correct. Fortunately for my assertion, that is not what happened.In post 311, Paschendale wrote:Attacking a bad wagon to try to prevent a mislynch is not white knighting.
Nope. That did not happen either, so it is also irrelevant.Or maybe white knighting is just when the person whose wagon is bad is angry about the attacks on it?

Irrelevant. It is still WKing. And obviously scum would be willing to be that obvious if sns is actually town, which scum know.In post 323, Paschendale wrote:And scum would be this obvious... why?
I am not saying that it is a scumtell; I am saying that your reply to NS (that RC was merely pointing out a bad wagon) is completely false. There are plenty of ways to do that without saying that you know the wagonee is 100% town.In post 325, Paschendale wrote:I've seen a lot of players act as if they're completely sure of things.

Maybe we should wait until sns's alignment is actually revealed to us before making grandiose claims. There was a good way to frame it, and given your demonstrated history of confusing what I was saying with what others was saying, forgive me for questioning whether you even now actually comprehend anything I wrote.In post 332, RedCoyote wrote: There's no "good" way to frame it, Aegor. This isn't just some political disagreement over whether or not you should self-vote or something, you know. It was and is a horrible argument that only served to hurt this town.
It did not and has not hurt the town; that extremity is completely unjustifiable.I'll slam any argument that hurts the town and go after the person making it. I'll do it every time.
That depends on whether you think setup spec is scummy.And that excuses it?
Because your argument is real fucking stupid. In no way does oneIn post 338, RedCoyote wrote:There's absolutely no way on God's green earth that the 5/13 comment came from scum. Absolutely no way.

What's more, people that are trying to take advantage of him or call him scum are directly harming this game. It's a wonder to me that no one else is willing to stand by my side on this.
