If you're town then be careful with your vote - it only takes three to lynch.

With 5 players, it's 3 to lynch!

1. This game uses plurality lynching mechanics. If a simple majority of players agree on a lynch prior to deadline, that lynch will occur. Otherwise, at deadline the player with the most votes is lynched.
Ties are broken by seniority of the last vote.
The number of players required to lynch will be in all vote counts. In the event that no one votes for an entire Day, I will randomly lynch a Townie.


Surely this means the player with the last vote would be lynched?

I don't like Eli's start - she's being reactive instead of proactive.

The sort of entrance I would expect from nervous scum.

Is making things happen not the very definition of being proactive?

You're now discrediting me by calling me 'crazy' instead of responding reasonably to my concern by either a) pointing out where you were in fact being proactive or b) explaining why you weren't being proactive.

Of course it's alignment-indicative, especially in this set-up.

As scum you don't care who is lynched, as long as it's not yourself, so you will be happy to wait until someone is wagoned/suspected.

As Town, it is our job to find the correct two people, otherwise we risk lynching our own and losing the game.

You were being questioned by HS but didn't question him back or try to discover his intentions behind the questions - it was an opportunity to be proactive and try to get a read on someone and you didn't take it.

If you 'suspect I'm being honest in my view', is that to say you Townread me?

I didn't say it necessarily makes her scum - if I thought that I would have voted her.

Rightly or wrongly, it just stuck out as someone trying to enter into the game without making much of a splash.

It certainly wouldn't be

Saying something looks scummy is different from saying that person must

Not town 'motivations' as such, but are you really asking me '
could Town enter the game in such a way'
? Obviously the answer is yes; it could be a player that lacks confidence or adopts an alternative playstyle, as has been discussed, but it doesn't excuse the possibility it could also be scummy - which is why I probed further.

What are your thoughts on Eli's entrance, HS?

In post 36, Human Sequencer wrote:oh no it's dumb semantics ;-;

we both know what I meant. i didn't twist your words out of context, i directly quoted them. the difference between "you are acting like nervous scum" (which is precisely what you said) and "you are necessarily be scum" is semantic and dumb
No, it isn't
semantic and dumb
, because it's a completely different meaning.

My quote:
In post 21, Luca Blight wrote: The sort of entrance I would expect from nervous scum.
Means that, based on the entrance, that person appears scummy. The key word being '
appears
' i.e. not certain. As I mentioned before, that entrance could be made by Town also.

Your version of my quote:
In post 36, Human Sequencer wrote: "you are necessarily be scum"
Means that unquestionable, that person is scum. The word 'necessary' is definitive.
In post 36, Human Sequencer wrote: would you please clarify on your read, are you pushing them or just probing?

as for thoughts I don't really have much
trying to feel out their personality rn
At the risk of even more '
dumb semantics
' can you make a distinction between the two?

I guess pushing is the same as probing, only stronger? In which case I'd say I was indeed 'probing' on this occasion.

@Mod

The rule states that seniority is given to the last vote in result of a tie, so why would it be me who'd be lynched at deadline when I was voted first, not last?

There is literally nothing to be analyzed so deeply, this conversation between you two seems contrived.
It's called pulling the game out of RVS - what is the scum motivation behind that exactly?

And '

Are we buying this 'townslip' here by Vax?

It's an important question because if it's genuine, he is Town, if it's fake then he's almost certainly scum.

I'm leaning towards the latter.

@ Eli
- No. But earlier he said....
In post 17, Vaxkiller wrote:Becuase u were first voted, read the rules dude!~
Which implies he must have read the rules himself. So I ask, how is it possible for one to read the rules and yet miss the colourful wording below:
In post 2, BTD6_maker wrote:This setup is Nano-Multiball, a setup of my own devising.

There are 3
Vanilla Townies
, 1
Mafia Goon
, and 1
Werewolf Goon
.

Night 1 only occurs if Town was lynched on Day 1. (Nights 2 and beyond do not occur).

Scum NKs (on Night 1 if possible) are compulsive. If no kill is submitted, a random target is chosen. Scum may not self-target.

If a scum is killed during Night 1, their own kill action will not work unless it is a cross-kill. (For example, if Mafia A kills Werewolf B and Werewolf B kills Townie C, B would die and C would survive). If scum cross-kill, Town wins.

If both scum are alive at the start of Day 2, the scum both draw (counted as half a win each) and Town loses. This occurs if and only if Town is lynched on Day 1 and both scum kill Town on Night 1 (even if they kill the same Townie).


Spoiler: Sample PMs
Vanilla TownieWelcome, BTD6_maker. You are a
Vanilla Townie
.

You have no special abilities.

You win when all threats to the town are eliminated.

Mafia GoonWelcome, BTD6_maker. You are a
Mafia Goon
.

If a Townie is lynched on Day 1, you must compulsively kill one other player. If you do not submit a kill, I will randomly choose your target.

You win when both the Town and the Werewolf have been eliminated, or nothing can stop this from occurring.

You draw with the Werewolf if both of you are alive at the end of Night 1.

So you read a warning about the easiness of which a quick-lynch could happen (especially given your belief that there are two scum on the same team in a 5p game) and yet you ignored it and voted randomly in the very next post?

I don't buy this at all.

Vax, you're an experienced enough player to know that if it's 3T V 2M in LYLO that you don't just throw a casual vote at someone random, therefore your explanation for not knowing the setup doesn't hold water.

20%? 2 out of 5?

You're talking from the perspective of being scum, it would seem, because if you were Town then in would be a 50% chance of 'hitting scum', for you know yourself to be town, and therefore 2 of the remaining four must be scum.

I believe this is another scumslip from Vax - before the game I, and most probably the other two Townies, came at it from the mindset '
2 of the other 4 are scum, 50% chance
', but clearly Vax went into the game from an altogether different perspective.

In post 111, Elliberetta wrote:20% doesn't make sense either way since if he's scum that's calculating correctly that number would be 25% right?
Regardless, I can see the line where he's scum that mentally think he's looking for one other scum and that there are 5 players in the game so 1/5.

Vax, how did you reach the 20% number?

Lucas what do you think of HS?
It makes sense if he's scum simply because he's not looking at it from a Townie perspective.

Regarding HS, I really don't like him at all this game and he is my second biggest scumread. I'm not sure if he's scum or just has an awkward playstyle, however.

HS' attitude towards Vax confuses me though as I'd have thought scum would be more predatory in such a situation.

The question is though, would scum want to lynch scum or townie today? Probably a Townie I would imagine, because if scum is lynched there is no night phase.

I agree that Tywin has been holding back a bit.

I've seen enough to read Eli as Town, so for me scum it's two out of Vax/HS/Tywin.

I don't think Tywin is the best bet for today, so I'm going to narrow my search to Vax and HS.

I will ISO HS now.

HS


- HS seems to be playing the role of mediator. Not sure exactly what he's trying to achieve other than stall progression/look as though he's doing something.

- Tells Vax and Tywin we don't have time to '
sit around doing nothing
', but until this post he had done nothing apart from mirep my remark in .
His question to Vax is decent here, but I don't like his question to Tywin that suggests Eli ran off when 'under-pressure' - a) I don't think she was particularly under pressure at that time and b) it's quite as assumption to say she 'ran off' without reasonably considering that there may be a valid reason for why she wasn't posting at that time.

- He now calls my interaction with Eli 'good' - that wasn't the impression I got from his comments in .
Why does HS '
assume
' that both Tywin and Vax are town here? That would imply both me and Eli are scum, which doesn't match up to his previous comments in this game.
Now HS is the one 'back-peddaling' a bit here as he's trying to make out he didn't call Eli 'scummy' in - while that is factually true, it was certainly implied. He makes out his negative question regarding Eli was purely to bring Tywin out, but this doesn't seem genuine to me, nor does his saying that he's happy' with Tywin's response - it reeks of fake scumhunting.

- Trying to excuse everything he's said as '
trying to inject energy into the game'
. I feel like his post was the opposite of 'injecting energy' and all it feels like he's been doing since is stirring up trouble amongst the other players.

- a highly dubious post. As Eli mentioned above, it really
is
black and white regarding Vax - if it was a genuine slip then he can't be scum as he'd know there was no scumteam - if it wasn't genuine he must be scum for the opposite reason,
His comment regarding me and Eli here is horrible - saying we look scummy but also fence-sitting by saying there could be plausible town motivation. HS really needs to answer what exactly we have done that is scummy?
And why should Vax reply to 48 as a priority over questioning from others? Does HS not see that his question in 48 has actually been made redundant by this point? I'm starting to question whether he's even still following the thread.

- Criticises Eli's apparent lack of effort by making his own post that clearly lacks effort.

- Why not answer any of the points raised?

- So now suddenly I'm Town's best hope when you previously said I looked scummy? And why are you still voting me if you genuinely feel this way?

Well, we're edging ever nearer to deadline.

We're lynching either HS or Vax. HS, if you're Town then now's the time to step up and show it.

Well I caught scum, but he somehow managed to wriggle out of being lynched (thanks, HS).

Obviously Vax targeted a Townie who he thought was scum. This will be the first line of investigation for today.

Yes I've been online from time to time but I'm actually on holiday at the moment, which is why I'm finding it hard to find time to play properly.

While you may dislike missing out on the credit due to you, are you really saying that claiming credit myself is something alignment-indicative in this setup?

It was more annoyance at him wriggling through my grasp than claiming credit though, to be fair.

Eli, I'm curious to know why you wanted to make out you were a newer player at the start of the game (before your alt slip)?

Knowing now you are in fact the most experienced among us causes me to doubt my D1 townread on you, which was in part due to how you were playing in relation your experience.

Looking at Vax's posts seems pretty useless as he regarded both Eli and Tywin very similarly in regards to who he thought was scum.

Wait wait hold on.
From your pov if you were town it should be:

If he shot Elli, Elli's town.
If he shot me (Tywin) it means nothing for Elli or Luca's alignments.
If he shot Luca, Lucas' town.

Right?

This seems really sketchy.
Because if you're scum you know he shot me or Luca.
And that he thought Luca was town so he likely shot me.
Like it seems like you may have considered you getting shot less becauause you knew it didn't happen?

And if you were town your scumlean should be probabilisticly towards Luca using shot logic.

On the other hand I can see that Luca's been online.
What do you think.
The more I look at this post the more it jumps out at me.

First Eli is jumping on Tywin's mistake (which I guess is far enough, although she's a bit severe) but then at the end draws attention back to me with 'but Luca's been online, what do you think'?

It's like she want to pressure Tywin but doesn't want to risk turning it into a 1v1 battle, so throws a bit of shade over me at the end (for being online of all things). The tone of her post goes from hostile to suddenly co-operative.

It just feels a bit weird.

Pretty much - I was fairly convinced I'd caught scum, but it just seemed too easy, and too many times in the past I've been 100% convinced someone was scum, only for them to then flip town.

I wanted to consider it rationally before committing to my vote.

See this is where my only problem with you this whole game lies.
I feel like town would be motivated to chill out and to find the second scum.

You did eventually with HS but it seemed to me like your instinct was just wanting to be sure on Vax and that would suffice to go for a lynch.
Well, if we lynched scum on D1 there would be no night phase, so it wouldn't have been essential to find both scum there and then.

Also r.e. this. Isn't what you just described here more likely to come from town than scum anyways? Have you played in lylo situations before?
General paranoia towards both sides and the constant sway between wanting to settle and not settle and cooperate and not cooperate is a natural mindset in high stakes situations like this. And its certainly what i'm feeling now.
It was more just the sudden change of tone (athough I apparently misunderstood your post). It was like you wanted Tywin to suspect me for not posting while online instead of focusing all his attention on you.

Basically, this is where I'm at:

Tywin looks more scummy on the surface through his general lack of content and laid-back approach. It seems as though he's content to see others do the work while he just follows on afterwards.

Eli looked pretty town on D1, but then it's always hard to tell when scum are looking for scum. If I hadn't seen her alt-slip I'd probably be more sure of her being Town now, but obviously she's a much more experienced player than Tywin so would do a lot better as scum. Her stance today makes me feel a bit uneasy with how on the fence she is - I would have expected that from Tywin, but I expected her to be a bit more assertive after D1.

So yeah, I'm really torn here.

I don't think its hard to see how today and yesterday are very different.

Which me is around really depends on the time of the day. :wink:

It's mainly a tonal thing.

I also kind of expected you to be grilling Tywin today as I had the impression on D1 you townread me more, but that hasn't really happened.

That's not really the case; Vax could have equally targeted you or Eli based on his ISO.

To be honest I'm leaning Tywin being town and Eli scum. It's almost entirely a gut feeling, I just feel like Eli would be doing a lot more to sort us if she was town whereas Tywin naturally seems a laid back player judging from the meta he provided.

As I said I'm gonna be really short of time from now on so I want to get this sorted asap.

Thinking about it, I also disagree with what Eli said about town being more likely to look for two scum on D1 - it was more important for scum to find the only other scum on D1 as they are their biggest threat in this game. As Town, finding either scum on D1 is satisfactory for us, and both me and Tywin were willing to vote both Vax and HS while Eli abstained from voting.

Scum would be more scared to lynch town on D1 in case they were killed on N1, and Eli wanted to be very sure of who was scum out of HS and Vax. She voted for neither despite heavily suspecting both.

Tywin said he had me and Eli as townreads so by POE HS and Vax must be scum - this is a very Townie mindset.

I really find it suspicious how Eli scumread both HS and Vax but didn't commit to voting either - as though she knew one must be Town.

I'm gonna be V/LA very soon so I'm gonna commit myself here and hope I'm right.

Well looks like I chose right.

This is the last time I can post for a while as I'm travelling already, but think about what I said about Eli's position on Vax and Hs, Tywin - we both thought they were the two scum and we both voted them. Eli didn't vote either as she knew one was town and she was scared of the other scum surviving and killing her at night.

My v/la doesn't end today, I'm on holiday all week and only have a small window of time to post.

Tywin, I was the one who took the initiative today while Eli was on the fence between us, and yet after I vote you she suddenly has all these reasons I must be scum - why didn't she state them earlier? Because she didn't want to 1v1 vs you or me - she wanted to be open to lyniching either of us. If I was scum, I would have probably have seen you as the easier target as you're the more inexperienced player - I wouldn't have deliberately put myself 1v1 against the more experienced player. On that note - don't be fooled by her join date: she alt slipped earlier and has been playing on here since 2009. I put myself 1v1 against her as I genuinely believed she was scum, and I was right. Look at how Eli played today - she didn't want to commit herself; she was hoping one of us would vote the other so she could easily hammer. Why would I 1v1 her as scum when she was clearly still suspecting you? It makes no sense.

Tywin, we both thought vax was scum and we both voted for him. Eli heavily scumread him but had more reason to be cautious as she knew there was only one other scum. Remember it was more important for scum to lynch scum on d1 because if she was targeted at night it would be game over for her regardless of her night actions.

I recognised you as town due to your mindset that me and Eli are town so by Poe Hs and vax must be scum. I also had the same mindset as you (I town read Eli on d1) but Eli had no such mindset, hence why she was so reluctant to vote either Hs or vax when she knew one must be town.

Look, vax looked scummy as hell on d1, why would I, as scum, lynch HS given that fact? Obviously it's because I genuinely believed Hs and vax were both scum.

Anyway, its up to you now Tywin. I hope you make the right choice.

And regarding my voting activity - I voted vax as he basically scum slipped and I was almost 100% convinced in that moment he was scum. I then unvoted just to consider reasonably and not let the adrenaline take over, and then voted HS in the end having given him many chances to defend himself, which he failed to do.

Very busy for the rest of the day and tomorrow so might not be able to post again. Tywin, I am town. Please hammer Eli.

As I mentioned, I have very limited access and little time to do more than even skim Eli's recent arguments, hence why I can't respond to every little point as I usually would.

I will just pick out the most bullshit thing that she wrote, though - she said she's been probing me all day and that's why I had to go 1v1 with her - this is a complete lie. She was completely on the fence between me and Tywin and I had no reason to go 1v1 with her unless I genuinely believed he is scum. Eli was clearly more siding towards Tywin earlier - the only thing she had against me was the nk likelihood thing which is wrong as either you or her could have been targeted by vax.

Tywin, just look at my posts in the lead up to my vote on Eli. Ask yourself what my motivation is. Don't let her wall posts confuse you - she is an experienced player and knows how to manipulate. I had to reason to act as I did today if I was scum - that's the thing you must see Tywin, and if you see it you will realise that I'm town.

I wish I could post walls in reponse to Eli but it's impossible because I have no time. Just please try to see the motivation behind my play today, Tywin. I could easily have kept the option of lynching you open but I didn't.

As scum I really would never have deliberately made myself 1v1 against Eli in this situation where all three of us where on the fence - this is why I was directing you to consider the motivation behind my play on day 2.
