Key I'm going to need you to tell us actual reasons for your reads. I'd also like if you could link us to past examples of you claiming scum, as you said earlier you do it frequently.

Hey guys

[keyenpeydee]

Key I'm going to need you to tell us actual reasons for your reads. I'd also like if you could link us to past examples of you claiming scum, as you said earlier you do it frequently.

Tia

Too lazy to find it and I don't remember any of them all

[Elbirn]

Alright so I have an utter shitshow of a game wherein God almighty was not merciful enough to direct scum to shoot me, thus causing me to unavoidably be the cause of Towns loss in LYLO, where my options for a lynch are

1. The scumshit who claimed scum after being #TrolledHard by her own scumpartner leading to a ridiculous cross bus
2. The scumshit who consistently pointed the finger at her scumbuddy all game but never voted him, supported his wagon during the above mentioned dueling wagons scenario, and had a slimy hop on to every wagon she could to put it at L-1

I really can't give a fuck at the moment, I think I'm gonna go have a beer and then just flip a coin

[Elbirn]

No you know what I don't give a fuck it's Key

VOTE: Keyenpeedee

Meeting adjourned, end my suffering

[Elbirn]

Oh yes, a tip for Raya

If you're scum, hammer key asap and you win
If you're town, please at least make a post here confirming that you could have hammered but didn't. This will make you confirmed town

[Raya36]

Confirming I'm town.

Have to go to work but I'll post thoughts when I get home. (And it's technically my Friday!)

[Raya36]

Alright, so I think I've decided who I want to vote for. First I want to hear some more thoughts from both of you.

Key, who do you think is scum? Me or Elbirn? And why?

Elbirn, why did you think it was a good move to vote Keyen to confirm me as town? I could easily have been scum and lost the game for you. That is, unless you are scum and you already knew that you would be confirming me as town. Maybe you did that to try to convince me you are town with me and gain my trust and to eventually mislynch Key.

[Elbirn]

My vote wasn't to confirm you as town, my vote was to lynch who I thought was scum.

The advice afterwards was just tips for a newbie, as an SE I feel I owe that much? Like if you were scum I wouldn't want you to not understand that you won the game, and then have it slip through your fingers. It'd be unsportsmanlike.

I basically decided there was too much wifom bullshit going on with key for that not to be a scum ploy. Reading over the key vs. Flog exchange, keys emotions come across very...fake? there was not enough pressure for her to claim scum and start a fight with flog and repeatedly tell him to "stop bussing". For someone who claimed to be frustrated and pressured and so did something silly, it really doesn't come across in her posts there. And even if it had, well...what was there to be upset about? 1 vote?

It was a scum ploy to distance from each other, with a sprinkling of "what the fuck is this bullshit" for taste. And they would have gotten away with it too, if it weren't for us meddling kids

[Raya36]

Fair enough.

This game has been dragging on and I have already decided who I think is scum so:

Intent to hammer Keyen

[keyenpeydee]

Okay you won guys! Congratulations!

[keyenpeydee]

Raya, you've done great especially for a newbie like you. It just sucks that this game had so many SEs replaced into the game than actual newbies.

[keyenpeydee]

Also flog was scum with me, and I was really hurt that he was bussing me for dumb reasons especially that I barely play scum here.
Now that I knew he was a troll, I tried to save myself, but it looks like it was successful since I made it to LyLo, but town was really good here.
Also, thanks to TB for saving myself here.

[keyenpeydee]

I was actually wanting to kill Elbirn, but I want to challenge myself and I really don't want someone to replace into this game, so I decided to kill Itlepip.

[Raya36]

VOTE: Key

Good game! You really had me convinced for a while!

We bought all the food the village had so I went back to the treasure and dug it up. I'm pleased to see there's a lot of flour here. We can head back home and not be hungry anymore

Day 4 Lynch

Had to make two trips to carry all of that; those elk furs are heavy. On the way back home with all our goods we stopped in a village and got a wounded adventurer quest.

---

keyenpeydee has been lynched day 4. He was a

mafia goon

.

This means that the town has won.

These people won:

The town Jailkeeper: Burgerking,

and the vanilla townies: shuffleplay, Sivart, nancy, platinum, Drixx, BlackVoid, itlepip, RadiantCowbells, Raya36, Elbirn, ZZZX

, and the spectators: theslimer3 and hubris

These people did not win:

The mafia goons: keyenpeydee, who I felt very sorry for, ThinkBig, who did his best in a bad situation, TheFlogScrogger, who should've been force-replaced well before he was banned and good riddance to him, Rikku, who disappeared, Geek773 who didn't pick up their role PM,

Sad1492, who was force-replaced for compromising an ongoing game, bombcat, who was force-replaced for sexual harrassment, Sly Tendencies & UseYour active, who failed to pick up their role PMs,

fagfoot, who was banned for being a jerk elsewhere before this game got started,

Plotinus, who froze-up when I should've acted and didn't do enough to assuage all of the hurt. I love all of you who did not need to be banned or force-replaced and I am sorry.[/area]

So, it's over. A lot of things happened here. It feels like these night actions that always get listed at the end of the game don't tell the half of it.

We tried to play a game together. And then sad talked about an ongoing game and had to leave us. And then there was some drama about alt-or-not. I'm guessing probably not alt after all? It seems so long ago. And then Flog came in and I couldn't really understand what all he was saying at the time but it was mean and people got hurt for real. I should've replaced him. He crossed a line that isn't okay to cross. If you're new here, I want you to know it doesn't have to be like this, most games aren't this awful. Some games are pretty beautiful. But I'm not going to lie either, sometimes games get under your skin and start hurting and never stop.

And then keyen claimed scum and we should've rerolled. He was provoked and hurt and it wasn't his fault but the game was pretty much compromised from then on. Should've kicked out Flog and rerolled but all the listmods were on vacation and by the time they were back we'd managed to limp along somehow.

And then bombcat started and it was gross. He was gross at the female players, in particularly the lesbian players. I'd decided I would see if he could take correction from his fellow players and then see if he'd take it from me before replacing him but that was too slow. I gave him too many chances. It ended up looking like I only replaced him when he started sexually harrassing the guys and I'm sorry for that impression.

And by then anyone's will to play was gone. The replacements made a valiant effort but it's really hard to have fun again after somebody's made it gross, you know? It's really hard to recover from that. I don't blame any of you. What we should've done is had a consultation about whether any amount of fun could be realistically salvaged from this or should we just abandon it and move on to happier games? Because this is a game, a thing we are doing in our spare time because we like each other or something. It's not homework and it's not a chore or a punishment. Sometimes, the right thing to do is to say "you know what? no. Let's just all walk away from this dumpster fire and start something new. There's nothing worth saving here."

I probably wasn't the only one thinking that but none of us said it, so we kept on.

You guys made a valiant effort, you did. Scum and town both. It was hard but you did try to keep playing and you were kind to each other. I guess we were all a bit shellshocked. And you won! Well some of you did.

This wasn't a good game. But we all survived it. Let's build a blanket fort or something.[/mech]

Hah! Bears are dangerous and we're pretty injured but it's dead now and that's going to be quite a bit of meat Now to just find the spear and stuff and cut the carcass. We'll smoke the meat in the village.

This thread is now open for postgame chatter. Be kind to each other.

[ThinkBig]

So glad this god forsaken game is finally over.

@Mod: Feel free to release scum PT.

This game was god awful and should have been re rolled.

[RadiantCowbells]

Yay I won

[ThinkBig]

I'm glad I was able to get the wagon off my buddy day 1 and lynch the jailkeeper instead. That was fun

[nancy]

Raya you rock girl!!!!!!!!!!!!

Blanket fort!!! Woo!!

[ThinkBig]

Raya is definitely this game's MVP

i hope I could be a positive force in the game and bring some sanity back to it.
