EveryoneWe are on track for a mislynch! Fallacy is the least likely player to be scum.
This isn't even the first game I've been right about this. And do you know which member of the scum team put us here? Everyone was tied and the day was drawing to an end, and who should vote for the towniest player despite
promising a case on someone else? Why, it was
4maskwolf of course! His reasons for voting follow the typical scum I-want-to-vote-you-so-here's-a-question-that-looks-sort-of-challenging modus operandi. It's an obvious fix-up. We're sleepwalking into a mislynch and Tiruin, Lidku, Tawarochir, Teneb, and FallacyofUrist need to pull yourself together and actually do something.
FallacyThere's the issue. NQT, do you think your role is better or worse for the town than average?(alternatively, more powerful for town or less?) Because in this game, the roles are a tad bit crazy, as you know. Do you think you have a way of determining your role's relative power?
I'm just playing it by ear really. My role is probably less powerful than about half of the rest of you if past BYOR-style games are anything to go by. But really a role is only as good as the player wielding it and I can trust myself to make the most out of whatever hand I'm dealt.
Quick, someone examine the last game in which NQT played to see if he dropped this much WIFOM! I might just do that myself.
In the last BYOR game I played in a very similar way (that was what that link was to). Here's a
game from two years ago where I did pretty much the same thing.
Do you believe Jack's claim? (I have no reason to doubt it, but no proof in his favor either, I'll need to wait until tomorrow for results and whatnot)
He's said he'll deliver tomorrow. That'd be a stupid risk for anyone to take if they weren't actually planning on delivering.
Why do you think NQT dropped the WIFOM bomb in the first place? (I still think he's some villain of some sort who dropped it to cause confusion)
This was a fun and productive way to start the day.
Who do you think are the top 3 most productive scum hunters? (I may be slightly biased in my favor here, but: [flabort, FoU, and Tawarochir].)
NQT, Fallacy, and Jack.
Wonderful. NQT, what do you think 4maskwolf is going to post regarding your scumminess?
Some WIFOM theory about my hidden motivations no doubt.
DeusNQT, did you consider that poking a rattlesnake nest is, in fact, a terrible idea?
Well, when your job is to kill rattlesnakes and all you're armed with is a stick, it's pretty much the best thing to do.
TawaThis doesn't seem like a very well substantiated view given that I've done more in this game outside of those claims than over half the other players.
...such as?
You don't really think I've been doing less in this game than 4mask, Tiruin, Lidku, Teneb, Jack, etc....
The view alone doesn't make you anti-town; additionally, you do realize this is BYOR, right? There aren't any vanilla townies, and everybody has a role that's potentially highly useful. Your reasoning only applies to vanilla townies.
OK, point conceded.
TenebNQT: Since you made a claim, and responded somewhat favorably to Jack doing the same, how do you feel about even more people claiming (actual non-joke claims), or even a mass claim this early?
A very very bad idea. The most straightforward way to win in this game as scum is to let town over-claim everything and then make well-informed decisions based on those claims. What I'm doing is playing mind games with the scum (and Jack's using this as a platform for establishing truths/trust); I'm not giving them something definite to chew on.
4maskI'll get back to why NQT is scum in a bit
Hah, if I'm scum then why aren't you voting for me?
Chicken?
TDSHere's why it's odd that you think people who don't want to die are scummy: Everyone wants a chance to play and they want to avoid dying on Day 1. Additionally, everyone has a power role so your point about taking hits for more valuable roles is irrelevant.
Yeah I see the point. I find not caring about dying more towny than I think reluctance to be killed is scummy.
Which do you think is scummier: someone who votes for you or someone who doesn't vote for you? You say that both are bad.
No, someone who is afraid to vote for me when they're making out that I'd be the best person to lynch is scummier.
How is a joke claim a "good bluff if he's not town"? What do you mean by that?
It means later if he needs to claim to be third-party for real, he can claim he wasn't really joking before but he can still claim town up until then.
FlabortFor now I'm just going to Finger of Suspicion NQT.

How did you do that?!
Anything is possible with Jennifer Lawrence.
Why are you voting Fallacy? He's the most likely player to be town. Most frequent poster, unafraid to put himself in the firing line, seems genuinely engaged in reassessing his reads and engaging people. We shouldn't be lynching him today!
