Mini 1930: Titus's Old Music Playlist Mafia

Maybe I',m just not seeing your thought process

[Robbnva]

Dunker is lynch bait is a lame excuse. He doesn't get a special exception. Nobody does

Be smart.

I'm trying but every game people say I'm stupid so maybe I am

[Wake1]

Oh yeah the sk thing. I'm probably going to die to that or something cause I don't post very often. Oh well

If there were an SK, why do you think it would target you, instead of leave you in the game?

[Wake1]

Me? Regarding what?

I wouldn't say stupid. Inflexible. You gotta be able to bend in this game.

[Robbnva]

I'm definitely trying but right now it's early enough. I'll have to reread that dd reaction to the claim again but I just think it can be easily faked.

For Zach, I've already explained what bugged me about him but I would expect my obvious change in play this game to set him off, especially since he seems to be a meta player and cause he still TRs me that is weird.

[Robbnva]

I also don't like sheeping people. And haven't seen good reasons for why somebody else is scum.

[Wake1]

OK so a few notes.

Slightly Townreading Robb.

Dunn I'm unsure atm.

Same with DD. Could just be his gameplay, which is NAI.

Unsure about Maria.

Something with Aristotle makes me wonder.

Can't place Penn and Zach.

Drixx pinged my gut with that starting post, but it's complicated. His claim doesn't make him Town.

Mint I slightly Townread, but I need more from him.

Boon and Famethyst I need more from.

I'm slightly Scumreading Fear, for reasons listed earlier.

[Wake1]

VOTE: Fear

Robb, care to join me in pressuring Fear?

[Robbnva]

Let me go look at your reasons. Also let me reread his posts.

[Robbnva]

I'm only seeing the one about wall posts. Did I miss something?

[Robbnva]

Fear's Dunn vote looks weird. He says he can't understand what Dunn is doing but doesn't ask a single question to Dunn to find out. Plus he agreed with Dunn in an earlier post.

[Wake1]

MariaR are you sure you want to be voting boon? That feels like a dead end to me right now

So is Boon off the table for you?

No, but it feels like he hasn't gotten any content in

like lol, drixx claims and he pushes it.

I pushed it because the claim didn't make sense to me
(It still doesn't ftr but oh well)

I can understand Dad's perspective here.

Dad?

So to you Boon hasn't gotten much content in, so that's why you don't want votes there? If he's lacking content wouldn't it be better to put votes on him to get him to talk? Explain it to me please.

DD. Autocorrect.

Wake it feels like you ask dead end questions that you don't ever really use

Don't talk too soon.

Who you're playing with now isn't who you played all those months ago.

[Wake1]

I'm only seeing the one about wall posts. Did I miss something?

I think there was more than one. When I played as Scum early on I would make pristine, thorough wall posts. Made it real damn easy to blend in. I got that vibe with Fear's posts.

[Wake1]

More of a gut thing.

[Dunkerdoodles]

I'm not even going to waste my time arguing with anyone who thinks I'm scum

Like I really don't care what y'all think about me.

i don't like this post. i don't know what it's called, but i know it's a common scum tactic where instead of reponding to scumreads and cases on you, you just dismiss it like "you're case is stupid" or "you have no reason to scumread me" or something like that.
i also don't like how he doesn't seem to have any solid scum or townreads, but still has opinions on who to lynch when people ask him.
robb is my top scumread atm, the only thing is i think he softed but im not sure.
i also didn't like dunn's entrance, but he hasn't really done anything else scummy so idk.

i also agree that boon feels off, but i guess it's irl stuff so it's NAI i guess.

wake feels really townie

You may have a point there. Could you just tell me the post #s so I can take an easy look? Would you be willing to pressure Fear with a vote?

Dunkerdoodles, that's Robb's meta.

He plays like that.

Don't push him on how he plays.

It's called I'm tired of arguing with people in games so I'm not caring if people scum read me. The stuff you describe after that is what I normally do and don't want to waste my energy this game doing it.

Typically my scum reads are people who scum read me. I'm working to change that.

VOTE: ButFearItself

OK, but why?

[Drixx]

...and Drixx seems to be trying FAR too hard to cover all his bases between his explanation for his 1 day absence with the flu and all that jazz --wouldn't have been surprised if his dog ate his homework too-- and literally listing every explanation possible in his claim, and hard harping on the fact that he talked to the mod.

No need for all that shit. I am very detail oriented, and those who play with me frequently (of whom there are several in this game) know that I am active and tend to be among the top posters. Therefore not showing up for 1.5 days into the game is odd for me. Those same people also know I have lived with an SCI most of my life and occasionally it screws with my life, so a heads up usually lets them know to let me engage and go from there. Listing every interaction I asked about is just polite to the rest of you. I at first assumed that only a killer who made it to me would be unstoppable (and thus no doctor or bodyguard or BP or any such would save me). It was only in questioning the mod that I found out that the moment someone decides to kill me, they cannot be stopped at all, even by the abilities of other players. That's important.

Dunker is lynch bait and Drixx is town lol

drixx's claim is nai but i completely agree with BFI with how it gives off that vibe of dotting every i and crossing every t. it strikes me more of a personality tell than not though.

~amethyst

Despite someone disagreeing, I would say you nailed it. My work is very detail oriented. I've also spent the past six or seven years working on training my mind to think rationally. It is very much a personality trait for me to say in 300 words what someone else might say in 30.

Drixx/Boonskiies/Aristophanes, any of you currently OK with lynching Dunkerdoodles today?

Not really. If he's scum and made that aggressive an open, then I want to see where he goes from there. I mean... just for the enjoyment of it. I'm pretty sure that's a town open. I don't generally see new players jump from super unsure of themselves to balls to the wall aggressive scum play. Either way, I would not want to lynch him today. I'd say at least 85% chance it's a mislynch and on the small odds of him being scum, it would be fun to watch him for a couple days first.

Apologies for not showing up sooner. I went for a nap yesterday because I wasn't feeling super great and then boom! headshot! (not really), fever sweat and chills. Literally just out of bed less than an hour ago. Hydrating and feeling okay, other than just dehydrated and a bit weak from what I assume was a flu-like bug that had its way with me for ~30 hours. Hopefully when I sleep tonight no more sweats and chills.

IMPORTANT:

I have a modifier to my role which could be seriously negative utility. I asked Titus about it with every "what if" that I could think of to be sure I understand exactly what it is, and it's not really something on the wiki. In fact, I couldn't really find anything on the wiki that I could compare it to without creating confusion. So this is the deal: any attempt to protect me from kills (bodyguard, doctor, invent a BP vest and give it to me, use a re-direct on the killer, try to swap me with another person for the purposes of targeting (we called this a bus driver on my home site), jail the person targeting me, jail me, roleblock the person targeting me) will all fail. If anyone targets me for death, no other role in the game can do anything to prevent me dying. I'm claiming this first post because whenever I show up dead, people need to realize that their choice of role usage could have been nullified by me being the kill target, and depending on what you do, that could turn the negative utility into a mechanical guilty (although that would require a lot of things to go "just so" to happen)).

I have nothing else to claim about my role at this time and would suggest you just take what I said and be aware of it. I have negative utility attached to my role which could interfere with your role. The up-side is that the way Titus answered, it would only ever happen once, so you will know which night to question whether your role worked as intended when I show up dead in the morning.

In your Scum games, do you normally open with a large post like this?

I don't "normally" do anything particular in my scum games (nor in my town games, except newbie games where I post a template IC intro as my first post every time). Every game is a new adventure.

Dunkerdoodles; this isn't a newbie game. I'm not experimenting with something new here. I'm alerting the town to negative utility. This allows town to avoid wasting anything protective on me, and sure ... scum can kill me if they want. There is positive utility to being the night kill in some circumstances. There's also the hedge utility of it. Generally speaking though, neg utility is claimed immediately or not believed. Thus, I claimed it immediately.

I will admit that the byplay was a little bit amusing though.

While I can understand this, you could have this ability and still be Scum. Does your ability make any mention of investigation, etc?

The negative utility applies

only

to stopping a kill aimed at me. I kind of went out of my way to note that in the original. Any reason you are fishing here?

[Dunnstral]

Dunkerdoodles, that's Robb's meta.

He plays like that.

Don't push him on how he plays.

"Nobody should get special treatment"

[Drixx]

Side note: holy shit we're posting a lot for a mini, lol.

[Wake1]

It'd be nuts if the game I Townread Robb and find him agreeable he turns out to finally, finally Scum.

Don't do that to me Robb.

ok sorry, i haven't played with him before so i didn't know his meta. sorry
