Statistically speaking out of any sample of four players there’s a chance one of them is scum.

So outta me, Draynth, Ircher and FChariot my money would be on the last two.

FChariot for that crap bandwagon vote and Ircher for how he’s reacting to me. I blatantly challenge his vote and all he does is double down and call me scum for literally zero reason.

You'd be surprised how many players think it's a reason to lynch/NK! :]
One recent example of a newbie game had scum keeping the IC alive for endgame mainly because they knew newbies would be needlessly paranoid of them.

It's good to note however, that the only separation of "IC" and "SE" in this game, is that I have voluntarily taken upon me the task to "mentor" and help all of you to the best of my abilities.
I also swear to answer to any questions involving game-mechanics
TRUTHFULLY
, and to the best of my knowledge - something that isn't mandatory for the SEs. :]
I'll be using this colored text to try and separate the "IC-talk" from gameplay.

Note that the mod uses a green color this text -
DON'T CONFUSE US WITH EACH OTHER!
:]

Lefty's ISO so far:

1. In :
In post 12, Lefty wrote:First!

RVS; not scumhunting.

2. In :

Not scumhunting; I guess you consider it a kind of RVS banter.

3. In :

Not scumhunting; simply RVS-like trolling.

4. In :
In post 17, Lefty wrote:[/unvote]
VOTE: FChariot
Scummy bandwagon is scummy.
Okay, I somewhat agree that FChariot's vote change pings in a way, but I'm not sure I'd call it an alignment-indicative way. Regardless, I don't really consider this scumhunting; it seems more OMGUS in nature tbqh.

5. In :
In post 18, Lefty wrote:UNVOTE: VOTE: FChariot
Ebwop. Sorry still learning the codes here
Basically a (failed) tag correction. Also:

Code: Select all

[unvote]Player[/unvote]

Yields UNVOTE: Player. But to change votes, you generally don't need to unvote first.

Not scumhunting.

9. In :

This doesn't really count as scumhunting as the reasoning seems to be more that they are annoyed with me versus actually thinking I'm scum. (Or perhaps both but the former is not a good reason for the latter.)

10. In :

Kinda scumhunting, kinda not. The statistics argument however is meaningless.

This counts somewhat as scumhunting.

So yeah, I guess I can agree that Lefty is scumhunting to some extent. But is it to a meaningful extent? No, not really. Is it okay for where we are right now? Sure. Do I want to move my vote? No, not really as leaving my vote isn't really hurting anyone, and there's no real reason for me to change my vote.

Shitty, yeah. But not always wrong either.

Would a put a ton of confidence in that on pg2? Lol no but it’s better than RVS.

Everyone has a 2/9 chance of being scum. Just because you are choosing a subset of the player list doesn't mean the probability for any individual goes up (or down).

It also doesn’t mean one of us four isn’t scum. We have all the exact same probability and from my standpoint (and yours presumably) I only have to sort the three of you for now.

So out of your list of four, including yourself, you explained why you picked Ircher and FCHariot in the list, why Draynth?

It’s the best lead I’ve got for now and I think this convo could be productive and spring board into actual play (it already has) so I don’t mind it for now.

I got put to L-2 on page 1. Draynth’s post was RVS and humorous so I don’t really mind it. Your’s seemed like a pressure vote which in a generic sense I don’t mind either. FC’s put me at L-2 while simultaneously making a throwaway comment that had nothing to do with my wagon, the people on it, or the fact it put me at L-2. So for now, that’s where I wanna investigate.
