Blitz 4: Kingmaker (game over)

[Titus]

Titus why do you think I am scum?

You've been making baseless attacks at the entire game yet have no fear of dying. Your reads look like whatever's convenient. I say texcat or accountant, you suddenly scumread texcat.

[Wanderer-nl]

@Titus: I'm going to blatantly sheep Soft-spoken and say Blocky, or maybe silver bard, as they haven't done much to help figure out who is scum. I don't really scumread either of them, but I also don't scumread anyone else enough to pull the trigger on..

The people I'd least like executed are Soft-spoken and Spiffeh. I'm not sure about Accountant but I've consistently scumread her in earlier games while she was town so I;m willing to trust other people's opinion on that more than my own.

[Titus]

Blocky you have 12 hours to provide reads or I nuke you.

[Firebringer]

Its kind of just a policy lynch though Wanderer.
Not really for it.
I don't think for a blitz game activity would be of as much of a telll..

[Soft-spoken]

something about "im going to blatently sheep" gave me townvibes from wanderer

@wanderer i believe bard about the difficulties, and his initial catchup post had a lot of content. otherwise id say hes in the same boat as blocky but really hes one of those tier 2 lurkers i mentioned

whats wrong with a policy lynch when nearly everyone has aspects of their game that are at least borderline believable as town. its not like we have a solid case on anyone.

Because a PL doesn't really give us information.
We lynch a townie who we thought as scum we can go back and analyze why people thought that. Who was scum pushing it or not pushing it for instance.

A policy lynch is just us shooting a damn gun wildly into a crowd hoping we hit scum.

Sure, we might hit scum. But it won't give us anything to go with tomorrow.

This. So much. If I go the lurker lynch my townreads suggest, I am back at square one with nothing and no control. I asked for wagons so I could get an idea as to what relationships would form. Not attempting to lynch a major wagon would be putting the interests of the collective far above my own with no guaranteed payoff other than we might avoid disaster.

[Titus]

The one thing I see is townreads town reading her and scumreads scumreading her but never willing to votevher.

[Spiffeh]

So when do you suggest we get rid of him?

He can't just be allowed to coast like this.

I'd expect scum to keep them alive for a future easy target to push.

[Accountant]

Titus why do you think I am scum?

You've been making baseless attacks at the entire game yet have no fear of dying.

Why would scum have no fear of dying, unless they know their partner is the King and won't execute them?

That's the only reason I am considering a lurker lynch. I don't have a better answer.

If scum have an army defending them, it's easier to take bold risks.

Well, no. This isn't regular mafia. If I am universally townread but the King hates my guts, I will lose.

[Smithereens]

What does Wking mean? Also Titus, you shouldn't be so concerned what your townreads think of you. Just mentioning it is scummy. I suddenly have a bad feeling about FB now, but I'll let that sit until next DP. 20 hours left, we should really finalise about now.

[Smithereens]

Well, no. This isn't regular mafia. If I am universally townread but the King hates my guts, I will lose.

I dislike this mentality. You don't just lose if you die as town, given the majority of townies die anyhow. Only something to be concerned about if you're not one of us.

[Titus]

White knighting.

I'm not concerned about what my townreads think of me. I'm concerned with getting a consensus town block going. I'm concerned about what you Spiffeh and FB think of each other. The way to win is to PoE scum with a moderate sized town block that acts as one, not a series of cowboys doing their own thing.

Titcr.

[Accountant]

I don't like town blocs because I think that scum can hide in the town bloc.

I've already stated all I needed to say, 20 hours left so I'm probably not going to be able to generate anything marvelously original. I'll keep an eye on this thread in case anyone has questions for me.

I don't have a strong town read on Spiffeh.
Though he does echo quite a bit my thoughts.
Or maybe I am echoing his.
Either way, not strong on him being town.

[Titus]

Lynch: Blocky

Tired as fuck, coming down with a cold. I hope I made the right choice.

[Accountant]

I would have preferred texcat but this is acceptable.

[Smithereens]

See ya next Dp. Unless of course I don't.

[Firebringer]

Well this was a.....day?
Not really.

Ehhh we will see how that turns out.
