kikilan What did you think of vectors nice little tutorial on mafia, and particularly his tone on suggesting that you might be of an alignment that wants to hinder the town(scum basically)?
Use fewer weasel words.
@every one who is not an IC or kikilan:(can i direct a question at everyone?) on a scale of one to ten how suspicious would you be of someone who was trying to get one of our valuble ICs lynched?
You can direct a question at everyone, with the danger that I might also answer it.
I would be suspicious of:
People trying to lynch an IC on good evidence: 0
People getting excited about IC-lynching just because "one might be scum and they'd be dangerous and it's better to lynch first, scumhunt never:" 5-8, depending on time and circumstance.
From my previous experiences RVS rarely seems to end before the start of day two, but as of the moment, it's getting close to ending already.
Over here, we try to end it as soon as possible. Preferably almost immediately after the start of D1. It's already over.
Though I think it's a pretty good explanation, and tutorial, though i'm getting the feeling that he's using me to draw out people like you, who jump to agree with him, without adding much of anything yourself.
I'm voting you because you're scum. You made a hell of a lot of mistakes, bucko.
((IC question:What exactly constitutes pointless questions, normally I see people asking what would they do if they were type things, and I thought that was vaguely how the questioning started?))
Questions become pointless when they're asked and you do nothing with the information retrieved but ask another question. I already explained that shitty questions exist in order to start talking, but volleying back and forth with no requests for questions on
information previously revealed is a big problem.
You may have missed that after I asked all those questions and talked so much, that I learned that there may not be a mafia IC, I had thought it was a certain thing. Oh and how should I go about quoting you, should I do what I've done here, or just hack out parts of your post, or repost the whole thing despite the insane clutter it will cause?
There's a non-playing scum IC, but they don't talk in-thread; there may also be a playing IC who is scum.
You can either cut the entire body of the post and respond to the empty quote with a piece-by-piece argument, or hack it to pieces. I typically prefer the latter. Definitely don't clutter any more than necessary.
Vector-Would you consider using a patsy to draw out potential Bandwagoners a valid strategy in scum hunting?
No, because I'd never attack anyone I didn't at least somewhat suspect.
This technique has many pieces.
The first piece is the attack on the suspect.
The second piece is the encouragement to other players to consider the suspect.
The third piece is the analysis of reactions in order to find new suspects.
The fourth piece is the selection of a new primary target, or continuation of pressure.
The fifth piece is the creation of other opportunities for those who have messed up in the first round to hurt themselves.
Town is a subtle game.
we do have a non-playing IC for advice
The non-playing IC only helps the scum team. IronyOwl is actually not allowed to post in the thread.
I am going to say this once and only once:
It is good that folks suspect the ICs. However, the way to get something out of this suspicion is not to shuffle around your feet, whispering about us. Levy attacks, assaults, whatever you have to in order to get a read. We're not omnipotent. Your passive sitting about is just an entrance for the scum.
@ kikilan which of the IC's are, you most suspicious of being scum since scum Ics seem to be a major concern for you, if it is a major concern.
Too passive. You're leaving holes in your arguments for people to escape through.
Also, you generally don't have to justify your reason for asking a questions. Some questions, yes. Most questions, no.
UltraValican-Since I've told you my IC suspicions, I would like to ask if you have any suspicions about other people so far?
This is not a tit-for-tat game, and you don't have to ask permission to grill someone. Here is how to rephrase your question:
Who[m] do you suspect, UltraValican?
