L-2
Why? She loses nothing from claiming it (unless shes rolecopped ig).

In post 34, Ph0enix wrote:I think Ausuka's Miller claim is NAI in and of itself and while it presents the possibility that she's fakeclaiming, I believe it's too early in the day to be talking about "yeeting" anybody, given that we're only 30-ish posts in. If there's no better option by the end of the day, for example, then sure, but I think we should see how the game plays out for now.
It is completely the same thing as voting at random. A miller claim is disprovable, it is the same thing as claiming a vanilla townie or jester. You might think this locks them into a claim, but they can just retract the claim, say they were joking. Honestly, nothing that happens in the first few days are concrete, but they are still the most important part in understanding someone mayhaps.In post 40, Ph0enix wrote:I did. I think it is NAI by itself, but in a scenario where at the end of the day there's no good options for an elimination, I'd choose the player who has claimed Miller over someone who hasn't cause betting on someone having fakeclaimed Miller at the beginning of D1 is better than voting at random, IMO. I think Aristeia is saying the same thing (@Aristeia: Feel free to correct me if I'm misinterpreting), it's just the way she phrased it that bugged me cause it made it seem in my eyes that she's fine "yeeting" you right now as it is, which I'm not.In post 39, Ausuka wrote:Phoenix, didn't you say my claim was NAI? That doesn't sound like you get where she's coming from.
Its not an immediate reaction i'm looking for. If someone stays l-1 for say 2 days, well their posts can reveal a lot during those two days. Even if you didnt panic when put on l-1, as long as that wagon is relevant you're going to feel the pressure.In post 81, Datisi wrote:mmm i really hate this. i feel like lolhammers aren't really uncommon, and lolyeeting a townie on day 1, 3 pages in, would be Not Really Good. don hasn't expressed actually being suspicious of me, so i'm assuming this is supposed to be a "for the pressure" vote, but like. what does he think it's gonna achieve in terms of my posting if i'm at y-2 or y-1?In post 73, Donempire wrote:I think the best way to move forward is to L-1 datisi.

Well keeping the tone consistent is scums priority. As town, i can play however i want because i do not care. As scum, i want to paint a picture of myself and want it consistent.

VOTE: done
Here is an attempt to soft buddy me. Coral knows i am under fire, and by saying they wont vote for me theres an attempt here. Of course by saying they're still suspicious of me there is no concrete stance taken here. What they are doing is to signal to me "everyone suspects you, but i can be open minded". And as scum, they know i'm town, and would want to leave a positive impression on me without going too hard on buddying.In post 123, Coral wrote:I would probably be switching my vote to Don here but I think they're at E-2 already and it seems a little twisted to put them at E-1 for suggesting that we put someone else at E-1. It does feel like they're kind of all over the place and I struggle to see a consistent town mindset. That makes me think they could be intentionally trying to look like the town they describe as "playing however they want". The issue is that I don't understand the motivations behind anything they're doing, so it just feels random for the sake of chaos.
How was the pressure on me sufficient? There isn't any risk to being put on L-2, not this early.In post 141, Coral wrote:I didn't think it was cruel, I thought the logic behind the concept of it was funny in a dark irony sort of way. I don't agree with your tactic and therefore I don't think it should be applied to you either despite my suspicion. My point was that the pressure on you was already sufficient without my vote.
I don't see where you get that I was trying to appear open-minded. I recognize that my phrasing in that post was a little awkward, since I had kind of a bunch of thoughts that I didn't really take the time to string together in a cohesive way, but I think that all of the thoughts I expressed land squarely on the side of "suspicious of Dom".
What about that post do you view as buddying?
I understand your thought process.In post 152, Coral wrote:Sufficient to influence your actions, which is the main goal of pressure: to see how people respond to it. E-1 is more pressure than I have interest in placing on anyone at this point in the game.
there's a lolhammer potential at l-1. that alone would be enough pressure, there's also the fact that someone not on the wagon might force a claim. not saying it would happen, but there is a chance, and i've seen it happen before. honestly, i can't be sure of every possibility and thats why i'm gunning for this. being at l-1 is unpredictable, the game being unpredictable causes scum to slip up. town can afford to make mistakes, scum really can't.In post 160, Datisi wrote:what do you think you will accomplish in this game by being put at y-1 that you cannot do while at y-2?In post 139, Donempire wrote:Putting me on L-1 isnt cruel, it is what i want.
i don't get how you're coming to the conclusion that coral is trying to be open minded with you, when the entirety of her post towards you feels negative.
do you have any reads other than coral?
I agree with this. Pressuring the inactive players might give us one post from them, and then we'd be back to waiting. It might be more usefull to do back and forth with the active players instead of prodding the inactive players for their one post of the day.In post 171, Aristeia wrote:I am not sure this method of scumhunting is very fruitfulIn post 168, Xayah wrote:I feel fine enough about most people in the thread that they've given me enough to work with minus Meg and Ari so I will continue voting them until further notice
But that is what i am saying. I'm not saying you have unoriginal comments. You wait for someone else to push or do something and then comment on it, you never start a discussion yourself. Not to say questioning others is bad, but if its the only thing you are doing then theres nothing to analyze you by. Like you said, you are simply observing the conversation, that makes you hard to read and slows down the tempo.In post 173, scamper wrote:i dont know what you mean by "not bringing up new points", i feel like i've had original thoughts, and i dont think ive been playing it particularly safe with how ive been approaching people. you can call it "reactionary" ig, but that's just bcause i prefer to wait and observe until something catches my attentionIn post 164, Donempire wrote:i didnt express a read on coral either. but i'll be clear to avoid confusion, i lean scum on her. i think she's playing overly safe.

Post she is talking about:In post 127, Coral wrote: It was a very gut-based reasoning initially, and a gut-based reasoning changed my mind as well. I was looking at the playerlist and found myself thinking a lot of the people posting felt town to me, and she felt slightly off, so I voted there to see what happened.
Then, when reviewing her ISO, I was reminded of 29, and something about it to me just feels like a very town response for her to give. I know it's basically an RVS nothing-post, but it is what changed my mind, so that's what you get!
So her reasoning for the ari vote is a gut read, and the reason she got off the wagon is another gut lean. Even in 127 she says that this is a nothing reason to change her to vote, so i dont understand what part of this vote switch is fine?
You make the pushes yourself, thats my point. Like this:In post 190, scamper wrote: i don't think anything right now merits a hard stance or a serious push, though
i can't manufacture opinions i don't have
I don't agree with this. New players will be under a lot of scrutiny and they are more likely to make mistakes as scum, but they are also likely to make mistakes as town. Experienced players know this and dont bandwagon them blindly, and wait for harder tells. If anything a new player is harder to push because so many people town and scum will come to their defense claiming their inexperience means their posts are NAI. I havent seen if anyone did this regarding phoenix specifically, just saying that i dont agree with the idea that new players are easy to lim, i think calling anyone an easy mislim is just wrong. Even if its easier to push someone compared to someone else actually limming anyone requires about the same effort.In post 206, scamper wrote:again, by your own definition i would say phoenix is significantly "easier" any way you look at it, and in a vacuum the newb-ish player is always going to be an easier yeet. the idea that us disagreeing on reads makes me scummy just feels like a very reductive way of thinking to me, like it feels like you're jumping to a conclusion rather than trying to figure out whether my reasoning is genuine or notIn post 203, Datisi wrote:weren't a few other people pushing phoenix tho
okay, like. what i wanted to say is that i am on the lookout on people who are pushing potential townies for reasons that i don't exactly jive with. i'm not saying i have to agree, just that it makes sense even if i disagree. and your pushes around the two of those didn't make immediate sense to me. plus the fact i think they're town currently. and also the fact that singling in on one easy misyeet is risky because if that one somehow slips then you're in trouble, while testing the waters for multiple misyeets and seeing if there's any other easy ones would be Better. also pho could be your partner technically.
i did not feel like writing all of that out, so i hoped it would be self-evident by saying "scum wants easy stuff" sorry if it wasn't

The one being wagoned is a factor in contributing to discussion, but so is everyone else on the wagon. Once the wagon disperses, there will be many posts to retroactively read , at least 4 vote posts for example. That way with a simple shitwagon in rvs you end up forcing 5 people to participate! You end up with someone who is a hard read by most of the town, lots of posts to investigate, maybe a claim.
Now that i said this, lolwagoning scamper probably wont have the same effect. But i can still make a solid case against scamper, and you can read my case, agree with me and bandwagon scamper. We receive the benefits i mentioned without any drawbacks!
So, i havent made my case yet, and i wont until i wake up, but the sooner everyone wagons scamper, the faster this game will run
Interesting, i think he's town as well. The content of his posts arent what convinces me, but rather i think the scum have a stranglehold on the conversation and someone as inactive as him wouldnt be able to manipulate the discourse as much as it has been manipulated.

If she didnt want to put me on L-1 or pressure me in general, why make a post saying she was suspicious of me?

Imagine we morb you, you flip town. What incentive do we have to morb ausuka then? You claim a slip up . Well all that can be argued away. Especially if you arent her partner, no way her buddy lets her get morbed on that weak of a premise alone. And on the off chance we do morb ausuka somehow, we have no info going into d3 because we morbed someone who dared us to, and then we morbed someone for a supposed slip up. We go to 5 people with nothing at hand. And remember, this is allIFausuka is scum. If she isnt, we morbed two townies for no reason, we go to LYLO with nothing and auto lose.
So why not keep playing? We're still waiting on mod confirmation anyway, there are 5 people who havent had a word in during this and we have no plan going forward if we do this.
I vote not to end the day until less than 4 hours remain. The more we discuss, the more bullshit we peddle, the more fluff we post, the more we have to look back retroactively. This is the only day we have 9 people present, so i vote not to rush it.
It isnt as unenviable as you make it out to be. As i said, if your lim goes through and she is scum, no way her partner lets her get limmed on a promise.

I don't really care if the town doesn't follow through on something it agrees to do.
I also think that being comfortable talking to each other is not indicative of being a scumteam, however i dont think it excludes them from being scum together either. If anything its NAI. If i got paired with a friend in a scumteam i would be as buddy buddy with them as i always would, so this is not indicative of anything imoIn post 422, scamper wrote: i think this is if anything decent evidence they are *not* the scumteam
I agree. The difference between an average player and a newbie would be unnoticable in a game where everyone is playing their part correctly, ala contributing actively regardless of alignment. In the case of an inactive game that forces a PL, then as you said a new player would be easier to off.In post 416, scamper wrote: tyhis is verging into theory territory, but i disagree with this. in general i think with more experience a player becomes harder to elim (unless they have a very obvious meta). in a pl like this you can basically predict who the likely elims are regardless of alignment, certain people are just never going to get voted day 1 so the elim is likely to default to someone with less charisma. phoenix is clearly capable of puttin words together nicely but in a table where no one knows his meta he woulsd have been an easy push, imo
(of course, i am currently voting his replacement...)
I'm sorry, that is not possible. The active players are too competent to be circlejerking the entire day, with maybe ari as an exception since i dont know her. And one of them suspecting another means nothing, because i doubt the solve is in that 3 i mentioned, i am simply certain that at least 1 scum is in that group. And suspecting all of them doesnt mean i dont suspect the inactive players, though in this case you are right that i wont go for a morb on an inactive player today, i want to eliminate from the 3 i mentioned.In post 418, scamper wrote: this also feels somewhat contrived and arbitrary honestly
with the caveat that i am not stating these are my reads, it is entirely possible for there to be games where active town goes in circles while scum lurks it out, especially when one of the active towns you mentioned is strongly suspecting the other
i'm not scumreading meg but i wouldn't clear them for being inactive...
Like i said above, i want to at the very least clear my suspicions from the active players. And after reading your last few posts you seemed townier, maybe i'll get into it if i can find the time.

Now, if you rolled miller, would your main concern be a cop, or a rolecop? Rolecop already gives miller result, so the only confusion would arise if a cop tried to investigate you.In post 356, Ausuka wrote:Like literally just ignore the miller claim unless you're a Rolecop that is all I am asking

Aha. That is what i'm talking about.In post 496, Ausuka wrote:I'm not talking about tracker
Rolecop catches me, if I'm a goon vanilla cop or simple or complex does too, there might be more I'm missing. More likely than not those roles do not exist but if they do they have a big incentive to target you. It's a needless risk.
I am convinced that i am right, but when it comes to discussing stuff like "she did x because y" (in this context she thought of rolecop first because shes more likely to be scum), i believe its always going to be futile because whatever i say ausuka would respond with "that wasnt my intention". And i would have no way to disprove that, because we are discussing intentions here instead of something more concrete, like a roleclaim with a known setup. Besides, i am not entirely convinced myself if that is the case, that ausuka thought of rolecop first because shes scum. The best i can say is its more likely than not, and thats about it.Coral wrote:If you're drawing conclusions from unsupported assumptions, then those conclusions are unlikely to be meaningful.
