Newbie 1769: Happy New Year! (Post-Game)

[gigabyteTroubadour]

felt like TB's vote would be a good discussion point so that votes wouldn't have to be random. force people to take sides and good stuff like that

i kind of overestimated that potential

honestly rvs is more of a state of mind than a finite stage so usually when people say "rvs is over" it's not serious or at least subjective to whoever said that

[Creature]

RVS can't be finished with a simple "RVS is over".

[ThinkBig]

RVS can't be finished with a simple "RVS is over".

IIoA. Essentially the same thing the poster before you said.

[gigabyteTroubadour]

i thought he was building off of me tbh

[Creature]

idk, fluffing being a scumtell is long gone, every player does it at some point anyway.

[Creature]

So I'm townreading all SEs, is it bad?

[gigabyteTroubadour]

i don't really see TB town but scumreads don't really matter, especially in a small game

5 correct townreads is enough to solve a 9 player game and I usually am pretty close D1

or at least i like to think

[gigabyteTroubadour]

other than that i'm basically agreeing with you

[mattblackguy]

VOTE: Rakkar

Just because I wanted to vote someone and also because Rakkar is scum.

[gigabyteTroubadour]

yeah i don't think this game will be that hard creature

[GAYreenHamster]

OK i'm here now, just got out of school , anyways, I came from PS! Mafia like gigabyteTroubadour did. So why is TB being lynched?

i'm being cagey with my reasoning because i want the newbies to form a read on a slot i think is divisive. don't want sheeped reasoning and all that just yet

but honestly i feel like i'm the only person that's

really

feeling it

what are your thoughts on him?

[GAYreenHamster]

I mean, he only asked some questions and evidently made a joke... I dont exactly see the reason to lynch them unless someone can convince me otherwise

[gigabyteTroubadour]

this is the point where i realize that maybe my read is a bit loopy but i don't really have anything better

4. What is your favorite/least favorite role?

^ scummy RQS question IMO

like i would think in a newbie game, a newer player may kind of be off guard and, if they actually HAVE a PR, might have special interest in that role that shows when they answer the question

just gives me rolefishing vibes

[gigabyteTroubadour]

plus none of the questions were that open-ended and like setting a baseline for how people answer questions directed to them is one of the best ways of using rqs

i should know, i caught my first scum with RQS

[gigabyteTroubadour]

not really getting any town vibe from you gayreen but i think some of the things that you could be scumread here for are just weirdness from PS! meta tbh

[GAYreenHamster]

1. What does RQS mean?
2. I see what you mean, but i personally don't think he would do something like that, and even if they were a newbie, they could still pick a random PR to name, so i doubt it was a purposeful rolefish, if even a rolefish at all

That's just my opinion though

I mean, i learned my stuff from PS, so if people scumread me for that, thats a lil stupid imo, but w/e

[Creature]

Random Question Stage

It's like Random Voting Stage, but instead of random funny votes, players ask questions aimed at nothing and usually don't push anything.

[GAYreenHamster]

kk, thx creature

[gigabyteTroubadour]

1. RQS stands for Random Questioning Stage which is basically is what TB started. It's an alternative to RVS that's rarely seen outside of newbie games because most people don't make good RQSs and RVS is much easier to work with.

2. Why wouldn't TB do that? I would just assume he'd do it if he was scum but there wasn't anything personality-wise that makes me think he wouldn't try that as scum. Also, why do you think someone would lie about an RQS answer? like yeah i guess the PR they'd name is effectively random but nothing is truly random (and having a different role PM is a significant bias) :/

what i mean about that is how your 87 kinda felt like the "well there's no hard evidence they're scum but if you can give me a paragraph long case in a chat format within like 10 seconds i'll consider it" which has been the death of my scumhunting on that site

can see people finding it scummy because original thought processes are generally pro-town

pedit: yeah creature basically covered it but i think the point about how it's not really common is important too

[gigabyteTroubadour]

add the word "mindset" after the quote

[GAYreenHamster]

I mean, i didnt exactly NEED a paragraph, but it was appreciated. I just dont like lynching someone based of a few questions they asked, thats all

[gigabyteTroubadour]

well then what would you feel like lynching someone based off of

i'm townreading like 4 slots right now so my standards for scumreads are kind of low

[GAYreenHamster]

i mean, nothing extremely important has happened yet, but i dont exactly like how shadd_ lynched in left, if thats anything

[gigabyteTroubadour]

i dont exactly like how shadd_ lynched in left, if thats anything

?

What do you mean?

also if you don't like something I would vote for that person, having no vote is generally unhelpful since votes are completely fluid and voting for mafia is the only way to get rid of them (of course that's a subjective opinion but i think experience will show you it's pretty true)

note that usually our lynches are majority (not plurality) and the day doesn't end as soon as everyone's voting like in PS! so there's very little harm in voting for someone
