however, I don't know if this is an assumption to make just based on someone just not posting for a while.
i like to assume scum are actually yknow, trying to play the game?
losing to lurkscum sounds lame
maybe i have too much faith though, it's a fairly common tactic isn't it?
It is a pretty common tactic to just lurk out early pressure, but tbh it almost always works. I almost never see initial wagons stick unless that player reacts really really badly.-

Really liking this post. I'm getting the same vibes I got from you in Mini 2268.In post 137, Meuh wrote:
I don't really get why this intro is so scummy, honestly.In post 112, FugitiveMoose wrote:Question of the day, if a player makes a vote but no one takes it serious. Did that person really make a vote?
Hello, everyone. This is my first game on this forum.
like yes, this isn't very game advancing content; more thorough thoughts on the game would be nice. The lack of it looks a bit bad
But the "question of the day" reads more like a townie thought than a scummy one.
dunno if scum opens like that
overall i feel pretty neutral on Moose
I'm interested on follow-up on that question of the day thing, why'd you say that, Moose?-

This is weird, why would you have an opinion on a mod message? Are you happy Titus’ content didn’t count for some reason? Does the rule excite you?
And why envoke NM? I don’t get it. This prompted me to look at your iso and there isn’t much there."Would you like to know more?"

There is a mentality among many that the first real train of the game is one of the safest places for scum to be, because town will inevitably overthink it given enough time and just forget to go back.In post 153, Roden wrote:

Stubbornness is a good way to reaction fish (I know because I've done it myself), but not showing up for 26+ hours directly after only serves to slowly dilute said reactions and runs contrary to it aka it doesn't really "jive". I still have an open query as to why his vote is still on Scorpious that I would still like an answer to.... Though he's not the only person from that original pile with a vote lingering there.
The votes on Scorpious that had scum equity are still sitting on him, and both players have not done much else other than get countertrained for said votes by a collage of people (Though Scorpious himself has not voted either). There is pretty good potential that at least one is scum, and is just leaving the vote there, hoping it just falls off our radar before they vote someone else for a substantive reason later. Likelihood is lower that they're both scum, though, since scum generally doesn't want to go 3-4 on an early train. The "Comedy Option" is that they're both scum... With Scorpious. (Do you guys do the whole "Comedy Option" thing reserved for wild spur of the most conspiracy theory nonsense?)

This was about 19 hours ago. Almost in prod territory too. We're also probably not hitting page 10 for another day, so we should be seeing something before then.
So I'll ask you too: Why is your vote still there?-

It's how I play. I generally don't vote just for the sake for pressure unless it's late in the day. If this were 48 hours, I would have been on Vanya a few hours before day ended to pressure him to appear, but I generally don't vote people while I'm questioning them.
I kind of agree with whoever said they'd vig shoot Moose right now though. Not getting town vibes there at all.
...But he also has like 7 days to change my mind, and there's no value to splintering on him right now while both vote leaders are idling. I have no plans to let anyone idle out, but I find people tend to be vote happy and my conservative approach helps provide more stability.
My last full town game took 4 days and I placed 5 votes all game, two of them only because people tried to jedi mind trick themselves off the correct vote in the very last minutes of day 2 and 3. My last scum game took 5 days and I placed 3.
I remember all arguments I've made in any given game and don't contradict myself unless I'm desperate. Reading into the "why" and "when" of when I do vote is what's important for figuring me out.
...I do have a tendency to ramble and wall post when I'm posting from my phone at 3am. I don't even intend for it to happen, it just does.-

No? I said I generally don't place votes to begin with. I've never placed an early game joke vote. I'm used to early game joke votes coming off within a few hours. It's generally considered bad form to leave them hanging.In post 168, geraintm wrote:

Actually to simplify it more it's rare I place any vote at all that I don't perceive has any value. With Vanya effectively holding the game hostage through inactivity right now, I feel it's pretty well pointless to be placing a vote on anyone. Of course if he tries to idle out, he dies.
As it stands, he is currently the only person I would vote right now, until he reappears to respond to the pressure and provide content. This effectively means my vote is already there without needing to be trigger happy about it.
People sometimes accidentally (or "accidentally") hammer early. My vote isn't going to be a contributor to that unless I'm in a particularly saucy mood. My overall mood does affect the way I play, especially on day 1.-
