Newbie 1828: Utopia! - Game Over!

[Porkens]

Now we lynch him. There is no ducking way he is bp.

[Porkens]

Where did you soft?

[Aristophanes]

Well I guess Ari is never coming back. Is it lunch time yet?

D&D takes hours yo!
I was on my phone on the way there with my last post. I am now doing the same going home!

Also, shocker, I'm hardclaiming BP!
I crumbed it a while back and will quote that for you.

Wait wait wait, instead of doing any scumhunting at all, you pop back in, and claim bp? Nonono. This stops now.

I. Was. Walking. Home.

I am now home and, despite it being almost 2am, am here to do some sleuthing for scum!
Seriously.

[northsidegal]

Is this where the doc outs then?

I'm not doc.

this is why it's important to read.

okay, aristo has hardclaimed bp. now, if we refer back to the strategy post:

Then what?

If there is a BP claim, there are three roles that can counterclaim it - BP, cop, and doctor.

If you are the real bulletproof or a cop,

the correct way to counter a fake bulletproof claim is simply to say, "I counterclaim.", regardless of which of those two you are.

If you are a doctor, wait until everyone else has refused to counterclaim before you speak up! Ideally, the cop will counterclaim and you can stay in the shadows protecting them.

i'll start: i don't counterclaim. it's important that if you're not the doctor you counterclaim or don't counterclaim in your next post, so that the doctor has to spend less time lurking it out.

[Aristophanes]

Where did you soft?

1s bp strat is where we have the bp claim if there is one

and if none claims, the tracker claims since we have a doc

based on stats and experience this will have minimal positive effect and any it does have will be outweighted by the time taken by implementation

i don't think it's entirely how you described but if you guys don't want to do it that's fine. i understand that it takes a lot of mechanical talk which, especially at the start of a newbie game, might not be the best idea. if it worked it would leave us with a confirmed inno, however.

Does this theory change if the BP is an SE/IC?
Like, does that make it better or worse?

I was saying, without saying it, that I knew the BP was an SE/IC because I am one and I am an SE.
I was being cheeky with the question to see whether I should claim it if we got to that point.

[northsidegal]

in case that wasn't entirely transparent enough:

if you are the 1 shot bulletproof, the cop or the doctor, in your next post simply say "i counterclaim."
if you are not any of those, in your next post simply say "i don't counterclaim". no elaboration is necessary.

[Aristophanes]

I counterclaim.

[Porkens]

Oh, well that makes more sense.

Scumhunt, please, start.

Here is the only post that was actually scumhunting:

I'll be honest, I lol'd at this! XD
What was your big revelation though? Like, why did you suddenly think I was scummy?

Hmm. I noticed low activity, and a lot of joking around....


Going to wait and see what others comment on this.

This post is potentially scummy, as Porkens noted. I think newbscum is less likely to say it though, so I'm not holding it as a hard scumlean.

that should be enough to stir the pot

WTF? Are you just trying to stir things up or actually find scum?
It's posts like these that really get to me!

Ok fine.
VOTE: Aristophanes

Is there a barf emoji??
:barf:

You just gave in, just like that, with no fight or anything?

Aristophanes did say yesterday to wait until tomorrow and has not not even posted. Really the only scumhunting he tried to do was when he was asking me why I voted for someone even though it was literally RVS. At least Acid has done more scumhunting.
VOTE: Aristophanes

So this is just a vote because I have been somewhat of an active lurker? With the actual content this thread has started to get, why is this the thing you deem worth a vote?

No, see, this looks like an attempt from Porkens to get a quick lynch on Aristophanes.
I still feel like your "scumhunting" wasn't very realistic.
VOTE: Porkens

This is a very white knight-y post...I'm torn as to whether I like the defense or not tbh! I'll have to look more into inferno to find out my full thoughts.

that list should have had ari not inferno

Yeah I've got the same list.

Let's see!

VOTE: Aristophanes

I think I meant to quote 320 ot 321 but oh well.
Could the two of you go through the reasoning for your scum lists and Nauci, why vote for me there instead of any of the others on the list?

Yeah I've got the same list.

Let's see!

VOTE: Aristophanes

this is an unannounced l-1. scum is on this aristo wagon, just not sure if it's both scum.

I mean, there is a very good chance scum are on this wagon. Who are your biggest scumreads from it?
Also, this post leaves me with townfeels unlike that Inferno post, so that's nice!

[Aristophanes]

That was all page...13? I will do more tomorrow but my tinnitus is getting worse the longer I stay up.

See you guys soon!

[Nauci]

I hate constantly having to explain why I'm voting people because then they know which scummy behavior to correct. O_o

[Nauci]

Question:

Do all "normal" games on this site have flips upon death?

[northsidegal]

nauci -

counterclaim or don't counterclaim.

[Porkens]

To be fair, what is the best scrum strategy to counter this?

Ccing seems pretty bad for scum here.

[Nauci]

no cc

[Porkens]

Ahem.

Anyway, when the game gets too settled, I find it helpful to stir the pot.

im no murder she wrote but I get the job done

[darrenwoodward10]

Bloody hell 5 new pages, some stuff has been going down, I'll catch up

[Porkens]

Say hi when you are done

[Gorny]

I don't CC

[Porkens]

I suspected you wouldn't

[Gorny]

Or did I already earlier?

[darrenwoodward10]

Alright so I don't counterclaim, let me try and make sense of the last few pages
