I just generally don't like roo because he normally refuses to answer questions. However, I find him quite a lot better in this game, which is why I unvoted him. In the one game I ran, he was scum and he told me that he han't read the OP. The scumchat link is here Maybe it depends on how many players. But I happen to like roo the way he's playing right now

roo has been prodded.

I was hoping for more than that. Any thoughts on the game so far?

Actually, we really do need to stir discussion.

Everyone: How effective do you think it would be to town-hunt in a small game such as this one?

[roo]

unvote I think we should start discussing lynches.

[roo]

Ebwop who we are comfortable lynching. Does that make more sense?

I look back and keep seeing elephant and temp not doing anything.

@elephant have you played in a vengefull before?

We're barely out of RVS, so it's not wise to think about dropping the hammer yet. Remember, we can take as long as we'd like, and more material is always useful. Are you comfortable which a lynch right now?

Town hunting is probably better here than in other games because if a townie is lynched, knowing who NOT to vengekill is as good as knowing who to vengekill.

I am not familiar with "town-hunting"; I assume that the idea is to find town, rather than scum, but I'm not sure how you'd go about doing so.

@elephant have you played in a vengefull before?

No.

Finding people who are "towny" ratherr than people who are "scumy"

((Oh wow, PTWing this.))

[roo]

I am comfortable lynching between the three I already mentioned. Discussing who to lynch isnt a bad thing at all as we can ser where peoples heads are.

Gun to your head osg who would you lynch?

[roo]

@elephant can you link a past game?

It's unusual, to be sure, but it's basically working out who isn't scum as a supplement to typical play. Since our game runs team sizes roughly half-and-half, it could be useful, though not nearly as much as a complicated setup with role abilities. The glaring downside to pure-conjecture town-hunting is how prone it could be to WIFOM (the wine-in-front-of-me argument, which can best be explained here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U_eZmEiyTo0). Some examples of this certainly includes my town-leaning read on roo, which could go either of three ways:

• roo is scum and actually did neglect to read up on how his scum team worked, which would be embarrassing and unlikely, but possible
• roo is town and didn't read the OP, which is somewhat more acceptable and the likeliest outcome
• roo is clever scum and planted the mistaken answer knowing fully well that he was incorrect and hoping someone would pick up on that (which would be super-cool, but I seriously doubt it)

...and why I haven't approached origamiscienceguy (who has stayed out of our spat) about what he felt about being implicated as scum through you, or why he's quiet about it. Either:

• origamiscienceguy is scum and wisely stayed out of it so he wouldn't appear to be jumping to your aid, or
• origamiscienceguy is town and has absolutely no reason to jump to your aid.

Obviously I wouldn't use my town-leaning read on roo as any sort of argument for or against him being scum (because that's WIFOM), but for the purpose of a reads list it was worth mentioning. It's too weak to scratch him off my scumlist, though, so I can't exactly call this town-hunting. Now, if roo had done something similar again, it would cement the read further and I would be more sure, but just by explaining this in painstaking detail, I may have just given the scumteam ideas and spoiled this meta altogether (at least for now).
