and i wasted 3 minutes at the end waiting for minesweeper to tick down

I even photoshopped minesweeper and you still had a quicker time.
Arse.

They crack a plan with their team that each of them solves 15 scavenger hunt items then one person submits the list.
If he had on-the-ball help from town neighbors that are pocketed into the plan, it's even easier.

The only other way someone does that shit in 30 flat is if they're literally camping the thread for the game reveal in order to snipe it AS FAST AS POSSIBLE

You know who co-ordinates that level of making sure other people don't get power?
Scum.

I saw it happen before in a game that I modded.

i think this is a pretty ridiculous argument. the argument that nobody could have completed it in 30 minutes without help seems pretty baseless to me (and also like some kind of sports / game related fallacy that i've seen a lot before, but the name of which doesn't come to mind)

are you trying to say that town would not also be interested in winning the minigame? because by its very nature, anyone who wins the minigame will be "making sure other people don't get power". i also took very real actions to give myself the best shot of winning the minigame – are you arguing that it makes me scum?

I mean to be honest my first reaction to seeing 31 mins was 'Uhhhhh wtf how? That shouldn't be possible?'

But I figured that just because I couldn't do it, doesn't mean nobody else can.

My personal theory is that RC and FB worked together though since they're so buddy-buddy.

RadiantCowbells · Post Post #580 (ISO) » Wed Dec 05, 2018 5:17 pm

i had no assistance and if i was scum i would still have been 100% confident in my ability to finish first.

I can't fathom.

a really decent amount of questions are answered with a single google search and probably the first result (like most of the image ones) – others could just be a matter of memory (for example, i already knew a game in which the scumteam surrendered, so i didn't have to look one up)

This is RC. Regardless of alignment it's not out of character for him. He almost certainly manipulated and strong armed his neighborhood, beating them into submission until they all agreed to be his little bitch. He demands control and power, I reiterate: regardless of alignment.

fake guilty makes scum forfeit

Varsoon · Post Post #584 (ISO) » Wed Dec 05, 2018 5:19 pm

@NSG: Scum has much more incentive to hoard the power for themselves by sniping the minigame as fast as possible.
If you had gotten the prize in 35, yeah, I'd be fucking critical of you, too, but you also don't have an apparent VAST HIDDEN NETWORK OF PRIVATE COMMUNICATION and haven't DISAPPEARED FROM THE FUCKING GAME while somehow being TOWNREAD BY PEOPLE WHO AREN'T EVEN INTERACTING WITH YOU IN THE MAIN GAME THREAD

Oh wow it's almost like RC's pulling a bunch of strings in a really duplicitous way away from PRYING EYES.

P-EDIT:
@Elbirn: And I don't want that kind of person running the show.

Varsoon · Post Post #585 (ISO) » Wed Dec 05, 2018 5:21 pm

I'm not letting some dude who just sniped the minigame with the title 'smooth criminal' pull a fast one on me.
The same dude who is actively driving activity AWAY FROM THE MAIN GAME THREAD.

RadiantCowbells · Post Post #586 (ISO) » Wed Dec 05, 2018 5:22 pm

i'm barely posting in hoods either

i just really don't care right now

i thought my minigame ability would give me a reason to care. it didn't do what i was hoping it would do.

northsidegal · Post Post #587 (ISO) » Wed Dec 05, 2018 5:22 pm

"RC got his scumbuddies to help out" – who else was even online at the time? who else would have agreed to and been active enough to wake up (depending on timezones obviously) or camp out the thread just to help him?

"RC manipulated neighbors to do it" – is there anyone in the game townreading RC enough for this to be possible? i haven't gotten that impression from anything that i've read.

In post 584, Varsoon wrote:@NSG: Scum has much more incentive to hoard the power for themselves by sniping the minigame as fast as possible.

i will agree that scum has

an

incentive to win the minigame as fast as possible – i would argue that town has this exact same incentive, however.

I mean I definitely don't disagree with you, but what does that say about his alignment?

I've played only one game with RC where he was confirmed innocent from the start so apart from his general personality I have absolutely nothing to compare this to. He's completely null for me right now.

Gamma Emerald · Post Post #589 (ISO) » Wed Dec 05, 2018 5:27 pm

I find it baffling you had a sub-one hour time for doing the minigame and yet you find RC’s time impossible, Varsoon.

When I said I agree I meant the stuff about RC btw.

I agree with NSG about the trying to snipe the minigame being NAI since it makes complete sense for town to want the ability too.

Pedit: There is a huge difference between finishing in under an hour and finishing in 31 mins. Like it's not even comparable, finishing it in an hour would have been a leisurely pace.

RadiantCowbells · Post Post #592 (ISO) » Wed Dec 05, 2018 5:32 pm

I could have finished it in sub 15 if I had seen minesweeper sooner and not been using a trackpad.

Varsoon · Post Post #593 (ISO) » Wed Dec 05, 2018 5:33 pm

Look, it's perfectly plausible that RC got all 40 correct completely on their own, rompers and all, in 31 minutes. I just don't think that sort of thing comes from town when coupled with how RC is approaching this game.
Scum's incentive, by pure numbers, is higher, since they are competing against that many more town.
Firebringer's a quick one that comes to mind.
Kokichi and Nico are barely present in the game thread and haven't said a single thing about RC, which leads me to believe they may have been picked up, especially Nico given I know how impressionable Nico is and how easy of a target they'd be for RC.
In fact,
Gonna swallow this for a second because
1. I'm just going to find a way to get a kill on RC in this game, whatever.
2. I'm too biased here and I think that Firebringer softed best friends with RC, which is basically masons?

VOTE: Kokichi
You really need to be here a lot more.

ChibiBear · Post Post #594 (ISO) » Wed Dec 05, 2018 5:34 pm

Not to mention that RC claims that he started at 0:08 and the final 3 minutes were waiting for the minesweeper clock. He's essentially claiming that he finished the ENTIRE LIST OF 40 ITEMS IN 20 MINS.

You wizard. You warlock.
