Crud. Was good run.

I'm signing up for the next one in the hopes that a non-everybody number of people lurk.

That's pretty standard for beginner's games, sadly.  Activity dies off after a few (game) days, scum win.



"Shakerag's going to be so pissed when he sees the scumteam."
Indeed.  And here I was all ready to congratulate Tawa and LW for playing so well and stringing along the town. 


Welp.  I'll again stress that activity is paramount, even more so at the end of the game.  Not only do you need to be focused on finding scum (which requires posting), but you want to ensure that you don't come across as scummy (which requires posting). 

[DoctorMcTaalik]

How scummy was I coming across as? I'd like to think I at least looked like I was scumhunting for a moment, before I sort of dropped out.

And sorry about the lurking. I kind of wanted to bump the counter, because I felt bad, but I also wanted to win.

[Tawa]

I couldn't get any read on you at all.

I couldn't get any read on you at all.

Fair enough. I had the benefit of having just replaced a fairly inactive player, in the lategame.

[Tawa]

So, out of curiosity, is there any particular reason the ICs are players? It seems a little... unfair to the town, given the possibility for them to be scum.

[FallacyofUrist]

I knew it, Urist McCoder! I knew it! I knew it!

Leading by example, I presume.  I think some of the very earliest beginner's games only had ICs as advisors and not as players.  I'd bet there might be discussion of the where and why back then.

[DoctorMcTaalik]

I knew it, Urist McCoder! I knew it! I knew it!

Same. I was going to devote my energies to hunting him. That changed when I learned that I was his scumbuddy.

[Graknorke]

How scummy was I coming across as?

Hard to say, since H4z gave it away long before that anyway.

[Loud Whispers]

Ayyyyyy
Much mistakes were made
I'd say well played but I shit the bed

[Urist McCoder]

Graknorke, I hope someday I can play on the same teem as you.

everyone else. how scummy did I seem, what was my biggest mistake?

[DoctorMcTaalik]

wow reading back through that me and fallacyofurist really do look like a scum team

fallacyofurist your answer seems honest and heartfelt so I am going with my gut unvote.

First I will address why I have not defended my self. The only way to prove that I am town is if we have a cop or if I get lynched. So I don't want to waste time trying to prove something I know to be true, when I my argument will likely be ineffectual.

-snip-

And while I think lurking is worse , I don't necessarily think it is a scum tell

[FallacyofUrist]

Plus the bit when you voted me because "there's no one else to pressure".

[Graknorke]

Gotta say Urist, HLG really saved you day 1. If it weren't for him doing... whatever he was doing, you'd very probably been lynched then.
