-Can someone help me understand what ruru's strategy was? I don't get the town fakeclaim. A townie who knows she's lying will counterclaim and ruru likely gets lynched. And scum who know she's lying will NK her. And I think that's what happened. It's the most likely explanation in my mind.
So I feel like I'm missing something obvious or it's a pointless gambit??
-CJ: why did you put invis at L-1?
- AP: why did you hammer?
Discussion was still ongoing, I don't know why you two decided to end the day 3 days before deadline.-

It's a fairly painless fakeclaim and she did it with no pressure, so a PGO/Vig would feel no real need to counter/kill. It also makes scum hesitant to kill her, unless they somehow know she's lying, either by being it or happening to be Sky and picking jailer themselves.In post 908, BuJaber wrote:-Can someone help me understand what ruru's strategy was?

That doesn't make a lot of sense to me.
Town PGO would cc. Why wouldn't they?
Town vig shooting ruru is a conceivable scneario, but it further makes me question ruru's decision. How would that have helped at all? Town vig wasting his shot on town roleblocker because the town vig knew he was lying.
Ruru is dead now I really don't care about her intentions anymore but considering she is clearly not a new player I want to learn why a townie would do that and why it would be a good/viable strategy. I'll just ask her post-game.
Vulcan ... thanks to the quickhammer you survived day 1 without having to complete your readlist. Do it now.-

I don't think I like Ruru's strategy, which (as far as I can see) hinged on her fakeclaim being believed. That is problematic for the reasons you listed. In addition, Ruru selected a very townie role, that was apt to be chosen by those halfway down the draft or lower, thus condemning all of them to vanilla-ness. PGO would have actually been a good pick, or even vig... if anything just to prevent scum from getting the role.

Congrats, you have different views of how to play town PRs, well done. Ruru is dead, their alignment is known, let's move on. Contribute to how we can move the gamestate forward rather than speculating about why a town player did a thing...they did, deal with it.In post 916, vulcan logician wrote:

I don't think we can say that scum wouldn't have hopped on to Invisibility's wagon. As Vizzy's participation was minimal, the best "bang for the Vizzy buck" as it were would have been to jump onto the Invisibility wagon... basically using Invisibility as cannon fodder to dissociate themselves from the scum alignment.
Another possibility is that Enigma is mafia, and it wouldn't have mattered which wagon they jumped on. (I lean town on Enigma, so I think this second option is unlikely, but it's still worth mentioning.)-

Not really trying to dwell. BuJaber asked if there was any other strategy that might have been at work. The short answer would have been "no."In post 918, Sando wrote:

Sorry, I'm more annoyed at BuJaber (and SRing him for it) for this insistence on discussion without actually digging into the implications of something. I really don't care if Ruru fakeclaiming was good or bad, being dead gave us information that is far more valuable than "gee was that a good play mate".In post 920, vulcan logician wrote:Not really trying to dwell.

I'd rather have the pressure vote on someone I forgot was in the game than Ausuka who I at least remembered.

also i don't see how this has anything to do with scumhuntingI'm scumhunting, I'm just not confident enough in any of my reads to make cases.
Plus, I find its very hard to form a read on someone if they are not participating in the game.
That's just me, though, I might be crazy to want to base my reads on like content.
first brass has no strong scumreads to explain away his pressure voting inactives, yet 30 posts later he conjures up a confident scumread on invis. where did this newfound confidence come from?In post 318, brassherald wrote:I don't like the Enigma wagon, Enigma's ISO has some good questions, and good thoughts. That's a town ISO as far as I can tell.
Vulcan Logician promised more content in 240 and never followed up, I'd like to know why. I know the dude only has 3 posts, but they include him claiming he's a fairly active player. I will allow him more posts before making an actual read, but it makes me uneasy.
Invisibility is scum.
BuJaber, I'm leaning scum on.
I'll find the last scum tomorrow or something, going to the beach now.
okay seems like cardi was basically on the invis wagon for pressure, which by itself is fineIn post 786, Cardi B wrote:VOTE: invisibility if theres more to get from this lil dude I wanna see it. Joinin my mans okapoka ArrArrArr.In post 819, Cardi B wrote:

Looks to me like nothin changed his mind! Skitter skitter talked abt why his content bad... I though she made sense (as usual )... okadude didnt even seem to noticed it, you knowwha Im sayin.
cardi then tries to scumread for his "inconsistency" in joining the invis wagon, when i think it was pretty evident oka was mainly on the wagon for pressure (which incidentally, is also the same reason cardi was on the wagon), i.e. oka was NOT on the invis wagon to "less lynch em"In post 828, Cardi B wrote:

I like the reasoning here, ofrhz. Although you have the chance of being incorrect in your speculation, what you've said certainly is an eyebrow-raiser. I'll hop on the Cardi wagon.

I wanna hear from Ceej, too. I still have some uncomfortable gut feelings about him.-

Again Sando proves that we come from different planets.
Fuck me for taking the opportunity every game to improve myself and learn from others.
Fuck me for respecting a decision that ruru made consciously and wanting to learn from it.
Fuck me for expressing surprise at someone doing something that never would have occurred to me.
Fuck me for making sure I post when I have something relevant to say even if I want to go off-topic instead of dedicating an entire post to the off-topic thing.
You may have these people fooled but your stubborness doesn't come from being town. You are either just a horrible individual or you're scum. One or the other. This isn't natural townie-offensiveness. You're worn your biased glasses and everything I do looks scummy to me.
Have fun you just ruined my best friend on MS's game for me.
-please replace me TW. I don't have time to play games I don't enjoy.
I hope you're scum I really do. It's better for you as a human and as a player.
