Jim Groovester, KaminaSquirtle, lemon10, Mr.Person
I want to know why there is four random votes on one guy. Even if that guy is Jet.
Because i didn't really read mr. person's vote before i posted, and i didn't really care if other people had voted for him, because by the end of the day (unless he didn't log on at all, or said something really stupid to prove himself scum), most of those votes will change to someone else.
Lemon: You put the fourth vote on Jetsquirrel for, as you said, not having posted yet. Do you really think that was a valid reason for a vote less than five hours after the game had started? What do you think of the first three votes on him?
Valid reason for a vote, sure, valid reason for suspicion no, most of the votes so far appear to be more or less random (with the exception of the votes on jet). I think that the first three votes on him were because he was afk (although i know not being on the computer for 5 hours means nothing at all).
(And a question, is defending people in general frowned upon/ a stupid thing to do because it would make you sound scummy if they are scum?)
Not really. Self-preservation is a scum trait. Townies shouldn't care about looking scummy if they themselves can uncover a scum. Even if they die, they still win if the scum are all lynched. Since there are few scum, the scum must minimize their own chances of death as much as possible.
I want to see your thought processes here. If self-preservation is not the reason why it's bad practice to defend people, then what's wrong with defending people?
If you defend people then people will think it's you, if its part of some grand plan to uncover the scum then its ok, but it it doesn't help uncover them then its a waste.
Because then people will think its you, which is irregarless bad, if you are a townie, then you getting lynched will mean 1 less day against the scum, 1 day kill against a townie AND allow the scum to lynch someone else at night (getting 2 kills in a day/night cycle instead of 1).
And if people think its you then it will to some extent draw suspicion away from the scum while you are alive.
