The game of the year: town won!

[UberNinja]

Time to double-iso Rhinox and Imaginality.

[UberNinja]

Idea: split into 5 random groups of 10, focus on 1group per week, lynch the scummiest from each group for 5 lynches in 5 weeks for the first day.

Pros: makes scumhunting more focused and natural
Scum unable to lurk through early days

Cons: some groups might not have scum

I wouldcontinue doing this for every day there are multiple lynches, so until19 players remain. Every new day reshuffle groups amd split into n groups where n= number of lynches. Always choose 1 lynch from each group.

Thoughtts?

So, even though we're not going with the blocks of 10 plan, I'm still going to do reads 10 at a time, rather than drown under a sea of posts.

But first a quick comment on current wagons: of the people with 2+ votes, I wouldn't miss elmo or redFF, but so far they don't reek of scum, just of useless. T-Bone, BBmolla and Rhinox are all okay (although I hope BB doesn't post 60 posts every day or I might have to lynch him just for sanity's sake). So yep, no wagons obv-right enough for me to jump onto at the moment.

As for my reads:

+ T-bone - 15 posts - engaging, giving reads and content, I see no reason for his wagon other than anti-voting-block-policy-lynchers. People concerned he's giving town reads too early, meh. Depends if they become self-confirming or if he reconsiders them as required. And in a game this big I can see voting blocks having a part to play, if not quite yet.
+ Nobody Special - 3 posts - good scumhunting in them...
= zajnet - 0 posts...
= staeg - 0 posts...
= lupo - 0 posts...
=- theamateur - 10 posts - nothing but policy votes so far; then apparently breadcrumbing something in his final post? which seems too attention-drawing to be helpful if town, but equally too overtly attention-drawing for scum, so I'll say null tell on that for now...
=- Amrun - 1 post - her first post makes me a little wary. Mainly cos finding lurkers in this game seems like an easy way to avoid scumhunting...
- funkybike1 - 1 post - no contribution...
- sykedoc - 1 post - no content yet; hopefully we're not going to hear 'gotta catch up' too much this game because that's too easy an excuse in this game. You've gotta contribute whether you're caught up or not. Just read the last few pages or something...
-- Moneybags - 8 posts - sheeping and pushing a Milk wagon for no (stated) reason, and fluff posts...

VOTE: Moneybags

Tomorrow my next 10 reads.

wtf..

just for you muffin *smooch*

no fucking way am I lynching tbone and not just because I'm in his town block but because he is ACTUALLY TRYING. Too many of you are playing like you think you're hot shit and filling the thread with crap. I take back what I said before about policy lynches there are about 5-10 of you I wish I could nuke right now.

vote bbmolla

looked at the top 3 wagons, this one looks the best. Fucking 62 post iso of fluff in less than 24 hours. No thank you. Please kindly be lynched now.

Next reads:

++ redff - not a fan of the one-liner posting style but I get the sense from his posts that he's genuinely thinking and questioning, so that gives me a town feel...
+ SleepyKrew - unvoting due to absence gave me a good vibe, I feel like as scum he wouldn't necessarily have bothered to unvote...
+ Rhinox - lots of strategy, and policy votes, but good reasons for both, and I like that the reads he gave in 668 weren't just sheeping other people's suspects...
+ BBMolla - in a game with 50 players and 10 to lynch, I don't think scum would be so bold to throw out the "meh I don't care if I get lynched" line
=+ Zdenek - I agree with his reads particularly elmo, T-bone and Muffin...
= UberNinja - having fun isn't a scum tell; sure Uber could be doing more scumhunting, but since this is a 50-player game, I'm happy to give players who make me laugh leeway at this point, and focus on hunting the non-funny scum instead...
= SpyreX - his playstyle always gives me a baseline pro-town sense. This game he comes off as slightly less engaged than other games I've been in with him but on the other hand the rate of posting this game is crazy so I think that's pretty null right now. Definitely want to wait til the dust settles and see how he plays when we're not posting 25 pages a day
=- Captain Corporal - more please...
- MoS - one post, no content. Dislike the "I'm not going to read anything" approach: @MoS you don't need to read the whole game, just read the last page or so and look for scummy posts there...
- Robotnick2 - first post suggests he is or at least was paying slight attention to the game, so why didn't he give us anything more than that?

Yeah, not keen on this UberNinja wagon.
Of the above players, and yesterday's, I'd be fine with a Robotnick2 wagon if we want to lynch someone low-contributing.

But right now I want to

VOTE: TeChNoWC

for his fence-sitting and buddying. He seems like he's trying to get on everyone's good side, and his posts don't ring sincere to me. I'm interested to hear what others think.

I'm surprised at how little there is aside from imaginality's lists and a few votes by Rhinox. It's like scum purposefully killed off people who it would be hard to find suspects from their ISOs. However, there's still a little bit:

Leaving out those already dead and flipped Mime or VT, Rhinox suspected

BBmolla and TechnoWC

, and Imaginality suspected

MoS, funkybike1, and sykedoc

.

Vote: BBmolla

Definitely the worst of the bunch.

I'll be more contributory when we get to the final 20, just an fyi.

[theamatuer]

so we're just ignoring the lurker list?
btw, I think I have an idea on scumteam no. 2. Care to listen?

It might be best to use our last lynch today now that we have lynched two scum by finding someone connected to both scum. That being said I couldn't find anything telling from an ISO other than maybe redFF bussed by Fritz, but red seems town to me and it's not much to go on.

If we go with the lurker list, who seems topscum out of it to you?

Do tell, I'm all ears.

[Staeg]

vote: BBmolla

[PeregrineV]

@Theam- Manho had 23 posts and Fritzler 47. Instead of sright up lurkers, this range might be better.
I'd like to hear about your scumteam #2 theory. And why you think such a thing might exist. And do you mean #3? Because mimes #1, mafia #2 so far.

@Amrun- Join the BBmolla wagon and then we'll lynch callforgjudgement.

[petapan]

lurker list was a thing for when we had no other leads

we have leads now

[UberNinja]

so we're just ignoring the lurker list?

we're ignoring the lurker list as long as we keep lynching scum boyo

whatsa matter? scared that your scum team size is dwindling? fuckin

lol

YOUR NEXT

[Amrun]

Vote: SpyreX

FOS: Everyone not voting SpyreX

VOTE: SpyreX

VOTE: T-bone

VOTE: T-Bone

what am i reading?

fritzler hasn't mentioned spyrex at all.
elmo hadn't mentioned spyrex at all.
matt's vote is actually good. he was voting t-bone before voting bbmolla some pages ago.
and that last quote is kondi's only post.

wait, kondi is not even in the player list.

elmo's reason for not scumhunting is bad.

the player size is big, but you knew that it will be that big when you /in it.

the wagons is most likely scum-driven in some sense, so sheeping is worse than random lynching.

the underlined is also targetting all those saying we need not scum-hunting until later.

vote: elmo

Townpoints for elmo, HUMONGOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUS scumpoints for SpyreX.

night is so short. don't have time to read.

but i'll spend some time doing this:

Hey, can someone who is bored do ISO Zdenek, Trollie, and Chronopie, and give thoughts please? I think all 3 can fit the flying under radar scum profile.

zdenek is not scum. a scum flying under radar won't attack a player like him.
too little posts from trollie. but he is more likely scum flying under radar than townie not keeping up with the pace. not sure though.
chrono is likely town.

they all have little contribution since the mimes are gone, which is a small scum tell. and they are not commenting on wagons other than the one they are on, but i don't think it automatic makes them scum.

EBWOP: not reading all the ninja posts.

Zdenek is probtown. Chrono probtown. Trollie not sure.

lowman is town.
NS is scummy, but he is always scummy, so idk.
amrun is town.
kondi is likely scum.
spyrex is strange, but he is the powerful wizard. i would rather sheep him than go against him.

but spyrex is voting amrun. i think she is town. so i really don't know what to do.

i think i will not vote unless i have a strong scum read then.

This IS kind of a weird thing about NS ... but more important is the weird thing about SpyreX.

Guys, I know you want to lynch BBmolla, and he is being a super derp and might even be scum, but SpyreX is TOTALLY SCUM.

VOTE: SpyreX

[Amrun]

Wagon analysis is kind of boring - only significant people are callforjudgment, for being off of it but still posting and trying to drum up a wagon on me, and I kind of found NS' "Absolutely" a little bit scummy but still am not really feeling him as scum.

SpyreX KNEW Fritzler was at L-1 but didn't hammer - and posted a hammer after the real hammer fell. He's doing NOTHING but active lurking and throwing down hammers, which abdicates all wagon responsibility and is terrible, and I won't tolerate it any longer.

He's scum.

[SpyreX]

DOUBLE FURTHER, if you dont lynch either of us I will literally just throw hammers down on anyone for the rest of the game and that will be the absolute extent of my contribution.

(abluh abluh abluh SpyreX is SCUM TBone is SCUM I AM ABUBUBHABA)

Wasn't that about T-Bone? He was lynched.

But yeah, you're still scum. Yes, I pushed the T-Bone wagon and was wrong. I also started the manho wagon and made that happen, and I was right.

So trying to dismiss my suspicion of you because I was wrong about T-Bone is scummy and super super beneath you.

[MattP]

VOTE: SpyreX

[SpyreX]

Actually you balked at the Fritz wagon and then played vroom vroom after. And trying to play "super beneath me" after some of the wonderful gems welp :fonz: smooth moves.

And if you look at the fact myko's count is wrong on hammer page on fritz its obvious when I said one more I meant to hammer but considering I directly said I'm not contributing in any real fashion anymore (hint: the thing you'd actually have cared about if you were trying but I digress).

As long as Hoopla dies SOON now that Fritz is dead I couldnt care less so godspeed.

[Amrun]

I KNOW you said you weren't going to contribute... How does that make NOT CONTRIBUTING any less bad?

That's not the reason I suspect you to be scum, but it would be a convenient scum tactic. manho's ISO is particularly incriminating in regards to you. He defends you when you're not even significantly threatened and just acts strangely about you all around.

I didn't understand the fritz wagon at first because no one presented a case - yes. So what? What are you even trying to say? You're just trying to discredit me without even trying to paint me as scum. So lazy.

[UberNinja]

BBmolla first, then SpyreX. I am not averse to a SpyreX death though

[SpyreX]

You're mistaking me with someone who cares. Sooo lazy is a hella ice burn this game snap. Let's not forget like 5 pages ago (ohh yea I'm followin along) you were sure I was town and then threw down another bad vote buttttt let's not stop that train.

Like I said as long as hoop dies soon I couldn't care less. I'm just flooredafter fritz flipping scum there's actually a doubt about this.

[MattP]

I want BB, SpyreX and Hoopla dead. At least one is scum.

[Jackal711]

I'll support either wagon, but for now I'll vote the one that looks more likely to go through and is on a person I've had a minor scumread on all game.

VOTE: SpyreX
