Praguepride, your thoughts on what has happened?
God I hate digging for quotes on this forum....
Anyway, here's what I think happened:
scum started random D1 bandwagons. Common scum tactic as everyone's accusing everyone. If it works, great because responsability is very light ("everyone was acusing everyone...").
Now, we had an almost D1 lynch which is the WORST kind of no lynch. If you get lynch -1 but miss the deadline, then all the next phase is wasted focused on that person when if he had just been lynched, an answer would have come up.
Now everything I've done has been for the purpose of town. Hell, I'm being far more truthful then I should. I'm not really jivving well with the Bay 12 style of mafia. I'm probably not going to play another game. My motivation is low. If you want to lynch me JUST because of that, fine.
However, I am not a douche and I'm not going to completely phone it in either. No need for replacements. I'll monitor things, throw my vote down, and play to win. It might not be the most fun for me, but whatever. Unfortunately, my lack of motivation is probably going to keep me alive for quite some time as scum don't like to kill lazy townies.
Finally, I think criptfiend is scum for 3 reasons.
1) He started the bandwagon on a townie. Scum would *know* who's town and who isn't.
2) Jokereman died accusing criptfiend
3) Cript has been very keen on pointing out the "scummy" aspects of other players, jumping on what I consider pretty trivial things and blowing them out of proportion. This is a very common scum tactic as it is rather effective if you're not watching for it.
Now, I'm NOT getting into a big WIFOM debate as that's a waste of time. I go with my gut and a healthy dose of Occam's Razor. I've played with (who I consider) some VERY good scum players, and they never rely on convaluted plots within plots because it's so easy for it to be ruined by one lynch. In a bare bones basic game like this, I think scum are going to play it by the book: stay out of the spotlight, jump on townies but don't cast suspicious votes.
As for my current allegations, I've accused criptfiend. He's responded in three different ways to a single vote by a supposedly suspicious townie. That sets off another red flag for me.
@criptfeind: Questions? Why would I ask you questions? If you're scum, you're just going to lie to me. this is a barebones game. But fine, I'll ask some stupid questions:
1) Why are you jumping on other people for minor transgressions?
2) Why are you responding to a single allegation in three different ways (first irritation at not being asked a question, then you undermined my comment by saying that Joker pressured me and Siquo more then you despite him having his vote on you, and finally trying to wiggle away by accusing me of dancing around when I'd just dropped a massive text bomb containing far more truth then anything else posted so far.)
3) If you're not scum and I'm not scum, then that leaves 5 people, 40% which are scum. So who's it going to be?
4) How badly do you want me to be lynched just to shut me up?
