Open 279 - Rusty Guillotine Mafia - Game Over!

[Fate]

There's a reason for everything.

All the reasons tie back into the origin of all things.

Understand one thing fully, and you'll have the world.

That one thing is Fate. The reason behind it all.

[Antitown]

...

Unvote

Possibly more to come, but I'll wait on VP before saying anything.

[Fate]

Ohohohohohoho whats all this then?


IM STILL DOING UTTERLY NOTHING BABY.

WHERES THE REST OF YOUR CASE?

[Fate]

AND WHY IZ YOU WAITIN FOR DADDY TO COME HOME?

[Antitown]

You're doing something. But in one of those crazy nonsensical ways.

At least, I hope you are.

[Fate]

I'm not.

And now I'm going to coast since you're the only one that suspected me.

And you'll have all the regrets in the world, "why oh why did I let Fate slide? I mean he was VOTING ME and I knew I WAS TOWN"

-

oh wait.

You're scum. /grin

[Antitown]

Coast all you want. Just be sure to let us know who your buddies are.

Also, I may be Antitown, but I sure am not scum. /grin

[Fate]

(you're my buddy, but hey if you want me to claim that in thread that's ok.

Percy will do fine by herself anyway.)

TEHEHEHHEHEHHEE

[Antitown]

I am lost.

Please teach me how I should react to a scumclaim then. It's kind of hard without justice in my hands.

[Fate]

Well the pre-requisite is that you're town, and it just sort of flows from there.

I can't really help you out here scum-bag. I mean, the window to keep your vote on me/put it back on is long gone.

[Antitown]

Gambling with fate.

Prose or poetry to come when availiable. The creative energy isn't quite flowing right now.

[RedCoyote]

Randomly selecting someone and asking him a generic question and you're done for the day is what I deduce to be your "reasoning".

I don't really know what Concission is going for here, but at this point I think she's only half-joking. This seems like a desparate attempt to be comical, either that or it's poor logic. Either way, Concission is trying too hard.

Unvote

vote: Concission

I'm agogly waiting...

Was this supposed to be eagerly? How do you mispell a word that badly?

I mean, I guess this isn't game related, it's just... wow...

1. The randomly generated lynch mechanic. I've been in a few games with rushed lynches and even, IIRC, no-lynches due to lapses in either activity or decisiveness. It's maddeningly bad enough in games with standard lynch mechanics. If it happens here then I will be furious.

I'm sorry; I'm lost. What "randomly generated lynch mechanic"? The only mechanic is the guillotine.

---

Scum:
Antitown
Percy
RedCoyote

Oh, please. If I was scum facing townFate you and I both know I'd just immediately surrender.

---

God fucking damn it. I was under the impression from the wiki that the player on the guillotine could vote but not post but looking back at Hitorogoshi's activity rule it looks like he can post, too.

It happens. I'm still unsure what you mean by the "randomly generated lynch mechanic" though.

---

The vig should shoot the first person we put on guillotine. Since we cannot no-lynch, it is important to get that kill through so that we have an odd number of players. Best chance to do that is to shoot while the scum have the largest number of potential RB targets. Also, early information FTW.

This is a good point. I hadn't even considered this. I agree 100%.

We will probably want the vig and the redeemed soul to claim early. Not today, obv, but maybe tomorrow. If either gets CCed, we've gained a coinflip. If neither do, we have the beginnings of a sweet little voting bloc and will force the scum to kill them off, thus protecting our tracker.

I absolutely agree. The scum have a Role Cop, so we might as well claim fairly early. If we don't, chances are that the scum will find them soon enough anyways.

We might consider requiring the person on guillotine to take on a leadership role in selecting the next lynch. Thus we will seed the thread with information to be exploited after the inevitable cardflip.

Agreed. They should be more vocal in either case. That would be the most townie thing they could do at that point, regardless of their role.

---

Also don't like Ythill's call to discuss something other than the previous four pages and something unlikely to aid in scumhunting

Could you be more specific? Which one of Ythill's points are unhelpful to the town?

---

by the way, is there a way to view more than 20 posts a page?

*25, but I don't think so.

---

(which I didn't find illuminating anyway)

This is the second time you've made this point without backing it up. That's too much.

Unvote

vote: Simenon

Did you seriously just claim to have been reading isos. on page 5?

You just wait until he pulls out his PbPA on me.

[Ythill]

Direct responses first...

@Sim:

Your narrow concept of what is good for the town is meaningless. Exploiting the setup is just as valuable as hunting for gaining available advantages. Getting people to comment on possible exploits can help us read them. Please stop being incompetent.

@SD:

We want that even-vote day to occur early in the game so no, it is not irrelevant. But I agree that putting the guillotine-rider in charge was kind of a hair-brained scheme.

@AGM:

Fair enough, though I personally believe that a cardflip is better than a doomed chatty kathy in the early game.

@Fate:

Don't need a big brother, thanks. Also, would you pretty please spin the sig:noise dial a little further towards sig.

[Ythill]

The scumz are: VPB + Luck + I'm guessing some lurker. Since they have the same number of votes on them...

VOTE: VP Baltar

SD is slightly more scum than town so far but it seems such things are to be expected.

Crypto is the towniest town who ever towned. Fate's not far behind him but needs to drink less caffeine. People who think either of them are scummy should be slapped. Other likely town include Anti, Concis, and Sim.

Everyone else is meh. And I'm really glad UK isn't in this game; can you imagine how annoying she'd be on guillotine?

[VP Baltar]

@VP: I'd really love to get a response to my questions directed at you. Both the "garbage" question, and the one of you accusing me of "not-answering" your questions while you side-step around/ignore mine.

I really hope you're scum, because if you're not then this is just disappointing. Your vote is garbage because your posts up until that point included 1) some shitty lyrics or something as a reason to vote Fate, 2) reposting of the No U picture 3) declaratively stating Fate is scum AS IF YOU FUCKING EXPLAINED IT IN THE FIRST PLACE. Feel free to elaborate at any time. That is the question you're not answering and then trying to paint it as if I'm the one being obstinate. But that's cool, keep going down this road.

Possibly more to come, but I'll wait on VP before saying anything.

lmao. This is some funny shit right here. I anxiously await your more now that how shitty your Fate case was has been explained in full detail.

Coast all you want. Just be sure to let us know who your buddies are.

So now Fate is scum again three posts after you unvote him?

Was this supposed to be eagerly? How do you mispell a word that badly?

It's apparently a real word. I had to look it up, and I consider myself fairly well versed in the letters. Either SD has a strong vocab or a good thesaurus.

@Ythill - Your reads are pretty shitty so far this game. I expect more out of you if you're town.

I feel like only half the player list is really playing here. Even when people are posting, they aren't saying a lot and pressuring people. Kind of annoying and making it difficult to separate the wheat from the chaff.

[RedCoyote]

Oh, wow. So it is. I owe you an apology, SD. I looked it up as agogly and got nothing, but when I looked up agog I found it.

Normally I wouldn't have even commented on it, but I'm in kind of a pissy mood today. Still, sorry about that SD. You know more than me (which isn't saying much, mind you).

Also, I'm not really getting the VPB hate so far. Does someone want to enlighten me here? Ythill, for some reason, neglected to mention his reasoning. The only thing I've really gotten is AGM telling us he didn't like how he approached Concission, but I don't know about that. I guess I just completely disagree.

[Shadow Dancer]

Explain, I don't get what you're saying.

Pity.

Ythill is town.

/discussion

Fate is scum.

Discuss.

Copycat...

How is that garbage?

Hot air.

Emphasis on we. The same could be said about you, no?

"no, you!" - more fluff.

I won't provide this free service to you every time, dude.

[Shadow Dancer]

I am lost.

Please teach me how I should react to a scumclaim then. It's kind of hard without justice in my hands.

"Teach me how to not provoke suspicion"

[Ythill]

@Ythill - Your reads are pretty shitty so far this game.

Shitty for your team, yes.

[Ythill]

Damn ninja's.

@SD:

Anti is likely town. Please try to pay attention.

[Shadow Dancer]

I'm agogly waiting...

Was this supposed to be eagerly? How do you mispell a word that badly?
I mean, I guess this isn't game related, it's just... wow...

O_o Whatever was amok-bouncing in my head there... You understood it anyway.

[Shadow Dancer]

@SD:

Anti is likely town. Please try to pay attention.

I am listening with full attention to what you've got to bring forth!

[Shadow Dancer]

Oh, wow. So it is. I owe you an apology, SD. I looked it up as agogly and got nothing, but when I looked up agog I found it.

I guess "eagerly" would have been more standard... I am no native english speaker, so my choice of words might be really off at some times.

[Simenon]

This is the second time you've made this point without backing it up. That's too much.

I don't know what you mean by "backing it up." I didn't think a discussion of whom we should vig was helpful or interesting, and it didn't reference the previous four pages. What's to back up?

Getting people to comment on possible exploits can help us read them.

That's stupid.

I'm finding the tone in some of LL's posts to be weird:

Could be. However, it is a joke that two other people have done, and that is what I find key - a sort of "blend in with the crowd" type of post. We all know what type of role likes to blend in.

Why put in the last sentence? I think he makes his point fairly clear in the first two, so the last bit is just rhetoric. It's an unnecessary explanation with the subtext of "lookame, I'm town!"

At the time that you posted this, I had independently already said to myself:

"I think Fate is the most townie person here."

Again, this is independent of that I had you tinted as mafia - no bias there.

So, why do you think Fate is scum?

The previous three lines are barely relevant to the last question. They are, however, a convenient way to buddy-up to Fate while seeming to mean something else. I find it hard to believe that a townperson would be so concerned in writing them.

Unvote, Vote LL
