@Pandarsenic:

Isn't lurking generally considered a scum tendency?

Scum or douchebag town. Org, for instance, is on the verge of being banned by several mods until he stops lurking (posting nothing) and activelurking (posting noncontent, like his infamous "having a ham sandwich" post) in every game as either faction.

nirur torirwould you beleive i wanted to be a plain townie as i have never played before?
That is believable, but I feel like you were angry when you posted that. No matter.

Unvote. Vote Halmie. Halmie, of the current players, who would you least like to be scum, and why?

Another OMGUS?
what is going on here?
I thought this isn't how you do day 1 !!!

Anyone explain please


Hm, I feel like this never got addressed.

OMGUS isn't OMGUS if it's backed up with enough evidence.  It's also a typical beginner thing to do, so don't sweat it.  Just learn from what the ICs tell you, and play with care.

RedWarrior0 you seem to have a hidden agenda behind discovering people's roles.  To me that seems scummy.

I'm asking choice of role, not their actual role.

So you're saying this game doesn't matter?

I don't think it matters in the way other games matter. Most often the primary goal is to win - I think the primary goal for this game is to learn and improve rather than to win. Well, that's my own goal anyways. Winning is nice, but secondary.

Cop. Being able to investigate people at night and confirm/deny my suspicions would help get the game going in the right direction, and stop WIFOMs that seem so common.

Fair enough. I still think you were acting very odd, but I'm not quite sold on you being scum... rather, I want to know why Dirtybirdy has been so quiet... The ICs have confirmed that as a scummy tendency, after all.

I can see arguments as to why that might be a good thing or a bad thing. I'm assuming its a bad thing (since then the scum get first kill, which is guaranteed to not be scum, rather the townies getting first kill which MIGHT be scum).

Does that seem about right?

There are specific times when it is smart to No Lynch.  The ICs will be sure to inform everyone if one of those times occurs.

Otherwise, you are correct but there is more to it.  The lack of a lynch suggests that the town was allowed to be passive and uncaring in scumhunting.  Since the mafia are, in truth, naturally passive and uncaring in the hunt it makes finding them among the others even harder. 

It is easy to act town when the town doesn't wish to act town.


Do not just carelessly lynch to get the day to end.  Make your vote count by aiming at scum.  However, do what you can to ensure the town makes good use of this day.

in most games this won't happen, but in this case:

GlyphGryph, i am now going to be pushing a lynch against you, the question you are asking are ok, but the points you make about them are things Scum would be more interested in.
