What makes you say this?

Because Speedchuck is ALWAYS mafia

We shouldn’t burn him cause of that cause sometimes he’s 3P instead.

We will get discussion going today, we have no time for dilly dallying


The next benchmark after that will be sufficiently defending your vote choice.

Dragon D. Luffy wrote: ↑Fri Oct 19, 2018 7:11 am So mafia doesn't know each other (yet), which means a mafia with a flamethrower has no reason not to follow us. It also means D1 is harder than usual.

This is where I’m going. Scum will be on best “don’t get burned” behavior without regard to others.

And what if he ia civ? That's a stupid reason to vote him so soon. Give the guy a chance and go after someone you think is bad.

Agreed

Sorry I haven’t been around much this game. I’ll try to do better. Thanks for not setting me on fire.

This may have already been covered. My reasoning for finding skers is like “do they care who gets lynched?” or “are they trying to thread the needle between town and scum play to neither get nked nor lynched.” I don’t think the second applies and the first is pretty easy to fake.

General thoughts on this? If it’s alfrady been discussed, I’ll find it myself.

Im pretty okay with Speed or Quin having a flamethrower on a general level.

Pretty well disagree with Mac being burned if it was for not voting but that’s the problem with policy lynches. They seem like a good idea until they lock you into a bad decision.

Tell me about that yo.

Implying I want you burned?

Never mind. Apparently we’re playing walking dead Mario party.

Imma case Quin for the lolz.

If there’s no good case to be made so be it. Part of the process. Believe in the system. /

Who did you vote for the flamethrower Day Zero? This is important

I didn’t. I was also about 30 min late on N1 attempting to vote for Speed.

Turnip Head wrote: ↑Mon Oct 22, 2018 11:45 pm I mean right now I'm looking for thoughts on sprityo. I think Jack brought up a good point about a scum sprit abusing the general dislike of inactives as an excuse to torch Mac early.

Jack could get torched for playing on the fringes but I want to give him a little leash and see what he does with it

I've got a few town reads that won't likely face the napalm end of this thing

If there's another popular candidate I'll put some pressure on them, I might try to rattle Chuck's cage a bit

mind that sprityo's thing was about non-voters, not non-participants. hence jack was on his list too.

but if I were going to burn mac, jack or doc, i'd have burned doc based on recent track record for participation. Town doesn't need

ColinIsCool wrote: ↑Tue Oct 23, 2018 9:39 am That sprit angle certainly is plausible, but I don’t really see him trying to get the attention of the flamethrower so quickly if he is scum. If he did, he didn’t think his choice of Mac through well enough at all — the only reason you go after that thing is for town cred, and he lost some.

And cause you can’t get burned if you’ve got it.

Like if I’m scum and the only way I can die is to be lynched and there’s a mechanic to prevent that, I’m trying to use that mechanic as often as possible.

Yes, getting the flamethrower can be protown but it is certainly not a thing only townies do.

So each time a kill is missed, it can only be cause scum shot scum right?

So there’s almost an actual mafia at this point.

I’m fine with not having a hall pass but anyone who uses reasoning like “Jack is much quieter than usual. Therefore he is scum” should be torched for opportunism because I’m generally super active as a scum or 3P player. I’m fact, SK is one of my very favorite roles and if anything, I’d be extra engaged if I was bad.

ColinIsCool wrote: ↑Tue Oct 23, 2018 3:25 pm Ooh wait here’s an idea

Let’s assume N1 was scum-unknowingly-attempting-to-NK-scum

Who would you have nightkilled if you were scum, and why?

I almost asked this but I’m usually surprised by early mod so I decided to not try and guess.

Turnip Head wrote: ↑Tue Oct 23, 2018 4:23 pm I prolly woulda killed jack ; fearsome as town but also if he was on my team I'd wanna know about it.

Lol I’m like 0 for 7 as a townie in lylo in the past year or so but thanks.

What did I tap to autocorrect nk to mod?

Lynching Wilgy cause we’d all kill him is pretty freaking harsh.

Sorry, Keith David.

Give me the flame thrower. I know what to do with it.

Ugh but you probably believe this.

Turnip Head wrote: ↑Wed Oct 24, 2018 10:30 pm RIP Nova

It would seem that Jack has the flamethrower

Who voted for me and who voted for someone else?

Guess I gotta read the rest of those pages huh?

I voted for you.

Why? I'm at the bottom of your rainbow list and you're aware I haven't read the whole game.

Wouldn't I be a terrible person to give a flamethrower to?

I'm probably not gonna burn Colin. Generally getting a townie vibe there. Like he's trying for sure.

My first couple pages gave me a strong townread on Quin but he hasn't been as present lately.

There's only 10 of us. What's balanced? 3 or 4 scum? This is a stupid question for Day 4 but....does the mafia win when they get parity? Or when they eliminate the civies? That is, can the mafia win by having 4 townies and 4 scum if they don't know who the other scum players are?

What I'm getting at is that depending on the number of things and the scum win condition, we may be at mylo.

1. You said you knew what to do with it.
2. If I had colored that rainbow, you'd have been yellow. Only the two under you are scumreads of mine at the moment, which is a problem of its own.
3. If I read you as scum, I might consider giving you the flamethrower anyway. Could learn a lot about who you are and who your teammates might be by the way you handle it. (all things considered, scum are as blind as we are in some cases. Sometimes not. Either way it would be interesting to see how they handle the firecannon)

linkis I will read them

1. So?
2. Nobody knew that but you, right?
3. At potentially mylo? When I might be bad AND not know who my teammates even are?

I don't follow this reasoning.

[mention]G-Man[/mention]

Can we get a public clarification on the endgame condition?

Thanks.

You asked.

1. So show me.
2. So?
3. I doubt that it's MYLO, personally. I didn't even consider that it might be MYLO before now.

Show you what? Sprityo just got immolated primarily based on my suggestion and I've not really labeled any other suspects. Clearly...
So maybe I don't believe you. Ooooooor maybe I do on those late two points. Idk.

I have no idea what to do with Eloh. Half the time I help mislynch her, it's cause I think there's a slip or she's defending but I'm wrong. Half the time she wins as mafia, I thought she slipped or defended a partner and I let it slide. Like the one time I just tone read her, I thought she was town but I was wrong.

Does Quin actually have a good track record of determining Eloh's alignment? Would it still apply to SK Eloh? I never go back and check these things.

Turnip Head wrote: ↑Thu Oct 25, 2018 1:23 pm We don't know the number of assimilated so how could we know when we're in mylo or lylo or whatever?

I just want to know the terms of mylo.

But it's not out of the normal to have 4 scum in a game this size. Going into a game with 10 players, 4 of which are scum is often mylo.

Like, I didn't vote for Wilgy last night.

You read an Eloh scum game, evaluated the content, synthesizedva point and wrote this post all in 4 minutes?

Why lie about this tho?

Not gonna burn DH today either. Maybe he let me live cause he’s scum and he’s hoping I get misburned. But why vote for me or say he’s gonna vote for me? As a sker and a player who kicked my tail in a recent game that I was a bit salty about, that’s needlessly dangerous. Likely townie.

Just imagine there’s an asterisk after all of my posts where I admit I am a very good goon and a very poor townie but I’m doing the best I can and you can laugh later if I’m wrong.

ColinIsCool wrote: ↑Thu Oct 25, 2018 2:36 pm I think speed has a reputation as a very formidable player and generally not someone you want to have on the other team. The scum in Fire Emblem killed rabbit N1 solely because they were afraid speed would replace in against them.

I have data I could use to vehemently argue with you, but I'll just take the high for now.

Oh man was it Speed they were worried about replacing in as a baddie?

I mean, you're overrated as hell but I wanna say Colin is right about this.

So not burning Colin, DH, Quin due to townreading and probably shouldn't burn Eloh and Wilgy due to not having a clue on them.

So DDL, INH, TH and Speedchuck is probably my lynch pool. I do got that standard DDL suspicion but it isn't enough to jump on.

I'm not going to ask for an elaborate song and dance but I would like as many accusations and as much reasoning thrown out as possible, even for players I don't think I should burn.

[mention]DrWilgy[/mention] give me your power. I know you have actual insight and you keep signing up so I know deep in your heart, you wanna give it to me.

Also, who would kill new player? Who would not? I don't think Speed or Quin would. The new player is friends with DDL right? (Or was that Kara?) I don't think he'd kill them so early.

Also, even if it is mylo, scum might shoot scum tonight.

Linki: And I might even burn scum today.
