It me.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...

This is a change I did not know was made.
I'm not sure how I feel about it. I'll have to bring it up in the setup discussion thread afterward.It's always the same.

Well, I ain't gonna read 41 pages on my phone while at work, so a full catchup will have to wait.
But I read the first few pages and I townread ben, NaCl, you, and maybe Hoptic.

Yes, but it was pretty obvious that if there was a cop scum would take something to mess it up.In post 1007, Vorkuta wrote:So basically in previous iterations, we had no way of knowing whether cop-checks or wtv could be tampered with.
Although this setup has only been run once before and both roles capable of getting a cop result died before D2. So we never actually saw that in action. But people speculated, correctly, that there was probably a godfather.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.

The majority of the setup concept was MDS's idea, I mostly helped fine-tune mechanics and balance. But I do think it's the best setup I know that uses the modular generation method.

Oh, you're gonna be annoyed, but it has to do with him misunderstanding the setup. Because this specific setup requires pregame action by scum I think it's likely his partners would have explained it to him.In post 1047, Gamma Emerald wrote:Talk about Ben?It's always the same.

The purpose of the point system is to prevent PR's from being in direct CC as much as possible.
That's why I'm torn about this rule; on the one hand, it does help skew the balance of information back in town's favor, but on the other hand, it gives town information that the design is based around them not knowing (the exact point count).It's always the same.

I should think he would understand "this is an open setup with no third parties"And that, even if they did that he would understood what was being explained
Sure they could have. But it's not likely.And that, even if he did that he was being genuine in his statement. Those same partners could have told him to play dumb.Haven't. Gonna read a bit now.

I am trying to read you like any other slot. My reading technique is to synthesize what I know about someone's personality and behavior and match it with what I think the motivation for their actions likely is and how confident I should be in that prediction.
In your case I've determined that any prediction I could make, at least for now, ought to have a very low confidence.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!- Something_Smart

There haven't been enough votecounts for me to really get a good idea of how wagons have been moving. Why does the wagon exist?It's always the same.

Okay, sure.In post 1120, Vorkuta wrote:There's being honest, being game-solvey, and playing good faith
Then there's being honest, being game-solvey, and playing in good faith.... while being at L-1 (which he basically is)

Willing doesn't mean able, though. Obviously plenty of people, town and scum alike, try unsuccessfully to get a wagon on them to go away.In post 1123, Vorkuta wrote:Contribution and gamesolves (and all the good stuff) under no pressure whatsoever vs. good stuff under L-1 pressure where the guy is willing to say anything and everything just to diffuse the wagon.
Like if someone is able to make genuine-sounding posts as scum whenever they want, why wouldn't they do it all the time? It's not as though getting pressured magically makes scum players better.
Towny posting is posting that's unlikely to come from scum. If you have a specific situational reason why scum would post a certain way in a certain situation. But you're just waving your hand and saying "they did it under pressure, that makes it not towny."It's always the same.

Well, I was just trying to provide a theory for why scum would take a role that looks pretty bad.In post 1140, NaCl wrote:As someone who doesn't know most of the people here, who are you talking about?
...However, I did have a player in mind as a likely candidate for doing that:
They've been lynched every time I've ever seen them as scum (three times) and never as the last on their team, and they get lynched a fair amount as town, and they are known for weird and inventive scum play. So I could definitely see them insisting on zombie and their teammates obliging.In post 43, Vorkuta wrote:I'm 2-3 as scum so I'm going to go with town because winning feels betterIt's always the same.

It's a non-subtle way to suggest I think it's Vorkuta.In post 1144, Platinum Phoenix wrote:Is that a subtle way to suggest you think it's vorkuta?

For the record, 718 is obviously a LAMIST post; that in and of itself is not indicative of alignment.
