2. Yes.
3. Holmes. If he's gonna provide a verbose running commentary of everything that happens then frankly I'm not interested.

What's to stop scum from stumping them first?

I think this is objectively a bad plan, especially because it’s been called

Playing under the assumption that scum are willing to WIFOM this out and will never push a partner:
Town on town - (7/9) * (3/4) = 7/12 = 58.3%
Town on scum - (7/9) * (1/4) = 7/36 = 19.4%
Scum on town - (2/9) = 2/9 = 22.2%

So mathematically that works out to a 58.3% scum winrate, while voting randomly (1-(7/9 * 2/3)) is only a 51.8% chance

Your first mistake was assuming the finger of death was bound to your mortal rules of EV calculation. What would you like your final meal to be?

pighawk, why did warrant a vote?

I feel like I would have to do a lot of incessant nitpicking in order to derive anything from this.

There are essentially four different actions about the same thing:

Player A proposes FOD gameplan that would essentially be a coinflip
Player B says "let's do it!" but doesn't do it
Player C opposes the plan and present a reason why the plan would be sub-optimal
Player D acts on the plan

Now obviously not all of those players are scum, and it's unlikely they are all town (although possible)
So which of these three actions is the scummiest in a vaccuum?
B > D > C
(Scummiest first)

Not that this is much different from how I usually am on Day 1 of games :oops:

I'm gonna try having a look through some ISOs and see where that leads me.

Afair we haven't played a game together before, so I can only presume you determined that by cold-reading a past game (or games) of mine.

There wasn't much that I found to be noteworthy, but I can say that Pooky/pighawk are prob not w/w, and there are two other slots I'm leaning town on. No one seems particularly like scum to me yet though.

I haven’t read any of you old games. Do you want to share a couple?

You said “it’s not THAT different”, which means it IS somewhat different. Why are you playing somewhat different?
Because every game is different.
I feel like you know what I really meant and are being needlessly pedantic.

Egos could have used that post to give a read or some thought but it’s just still reaction to his own situation. It looks like scum to me.

If a town member gets to 4 votes, and at least one of the scum isn't already on the wagon, they can just hammer and let their buddy stump them.

Yeah, I know, it was partly because I couldn’t be bothered to try and sell people on it in Sherlock!speak but I low-key don’t disagree that him being lurky could be scum

I don’t know what I think of pooky but it seems a bit weird that scum would want to hammer particularly? But he’s kinda being lazy with the push on you imo
I am male ftr.
In post 349, SherlockHolmes wrote:Chemist feels likely town.
Pooky and pighawk town?
Sherlock town.

If that’s right then there’s 2 left in the others.
Could you elaborate on this?

I don't understand how when you had 3 votes on you and Egix had 2 on them you went into fatalistic death spiral mode instead of voting someone you said many times you scumread - and make them an equal leading wagon. You haven't mentioned them with any kind of opinion on alignment recently.

-Hopki
Now that you mention it... yeah, I think this is pretty damning actually.
