I've also given non-arson scum reads of launch , I believe it's still on this page.

As for scum reasons for weemadarthur, all I ask is to pull the votes on me for now and see what happens

fair enough, I found your reasonings for launch when looking for that quote for my other post. I disagree on Launch, based on my other game with them, they're quite a thorough player. Their 'sloppiness' this game is probably down to their IRL activities, which they have admitted before has made it hard for them to follow and contribute regularly.

You're glossing over that it wasn't just real life getting in the way, it was pretty clearly an empty vote to look active. He claimed he had reasons, but as I explained, the reasons don't add up.
 
I get the motivation from people to want to go for scum, ignoring the doused and the arsonist as a problem that might actually help town, but keep in mind we're supposed eliminate all threats at some point...

And like someone mentioned, it could be scum-aligned arsonist, though I'm inclined to disagree with that

hah you think you slyly quoting Town's Win condition is gonna save your game? Think again

Actually, I'd like to thank LaunchpadMcQ for bringing that up.

"All threats to Town are eliminated," makes it seem like either a) there aren't any Neutrals here and the Arsonist is indeed Mafia-aligned & thus likely x-shot (3? 4?), or b) the Neutral [Arsonist] exists but does NOT exit the game via kill-quota; rather, is just an unlimited killer who Wins with either Faction's Win if they're still alive by game-end, hence Town eliminating them being a Town Win necessity.

Thank you, LaunchpadMcQ.
 
alright

Consider D1, yeah

Then D2

Now my scum team is CornBurrito, acohrs, Dusk Soldier and either melonrabbit / Lone_Prodigy / rac as a 4th out of 5th

If there is a Neutral Arsonist, then I'm thinking scum team's more numerous to compensate. 5 members then.

Yet going by the wording of Town's Win condition opening up two possibilities of either Mafia-aligned x-shot Arsonist or Neutral Arsonist variant [NO KILL-QUOTA]; the scum team's likely 4.

But I think it's 5 because I feel like my own justification for 4 via the Town Win's wording is flimsy.

So yeah, 5 scum members including the late Cewyn; CornBurrito, acohrs, Dusk Soldier, and melonrabbit / Lone_Prodigy / rac.
 
nah Launch's "'sloppiness'" is entirely "deliberate". I know it, he knows it. He's tricking you, all of you

It's really not...

You're glossing over that it wasn't just real life getting in the way, it was pretty clearly an empty vote to look active. He claimed he had reasons, but as I explained, the reasons don't add up.

No sir. You can lynch me if you want, but I will not go down without you having the facts straight, for the benefit of town (because I don't think that's what you are).

I threw out an empty vote because I did not have time to catch up to all the events of the day phase. I was way behind and IRL stuff did derail me, that's why I threw out an empty vote. The best I could do was offer up that I was siding with someone I thought was doing some good things in the game and, this is the important part, my GUT. Frankly, I could sit here and argue with you about the validity of a gut vote vs. whatever anyone else was doing, but it would be stupid because no one in this game knows anything with 100% certainty and you're just wasting town's time by burrowing in on a town player who was caught in a bad position.

hah you think you slyly quoting Town's Win condition is gonna save your game? Think again

That really wasn't my intent....

I was keeping that possibility under my hat, but oh well. It's kind of just speculation at this point.

Curious though about why you think dusk is scum. After 3 days, I still couldn't tell you what alignment dusk is, not even a gut read. Just a meh, they are a player and move on

While I have a bonus to aiming for the arsonist, I have already said I will support lynching scum. Achoo and Launchpad top my list at the moment, both of them respond to my summaries of their scummy behavior with 'I'm just playing badly, it doesn't mean anything'.

It had never occurred to me that an arsonist could possibly be mafia aligned. I am used to thinking of them as a type of neutral serial killer. But thinking about this new thought.....I doubt it in a 20-player game. Mafia having 2 killing roles when we haven't seen any evidence of town killing roles sounds unbalanced. Mind you I'm not an expert in game design.

Blargonaut's summary of why an arsonist would claim to be doused....I guess looks probably realistic? It's outside my experience. I've been just sitting here confused at why Karkador would claim doused. I could understand Isaac claiming doused if it turned out Isaac was some sort of charge-up arsonist, but Kark? I had nothing.

But I'm not lying. I really did get doused. My fascinating speech patterns mean only that I enjoy weird speechifying.

I am, you argue that Wee didn't explicitly say they were doused but she made a comment about it, which for all intents, was pretty obviously an admission of being doused. You then come in and claim that you were doused too. This after already being suspected of being the arsonist.

It's easy to say this in hindsight, but no, it was two vague allusions to being doused, for no reason. When I got her to commit, then I knew it was time to counterclaim. If I counterclaimed without that, there would have been an opening for her to back out.


Also, I would argue that you have form for "lying", from #1455 'Launch seemed pretty aware of what I was doing D1, and we know because some of the few responses he made on D1 were directed at me and my shenanigans. It was some buffoonery that was easy for him to play along with. ' So, it's pretty obvious to all, or maybe just me, that this is another gambit, so why are you doing it?

What I did on D1 couldn't really anticipate that I'd be doused on N2. I'd also like to point out that I told no lies on D1, either.
 
Okay.

Since we're tabling the arsonist discussion for the moment. But I'm more inclined to believe that one of the two is lying and the other truthful. Presently, I find Kark less believable than Wee but that's more a bias brought on by two no lunch days. So, at least he's trying something new?

Also,

Blarg, this is your D2 scum list:

My current scum team would be:

CornBurrito
melonrabbit
acohrs

plus maybe Hey_Monkey or Fat4all if 5

And today's:

alright

Consider D1, yeah

Then D2

Now my scum team is CornBurrito, acohrs, Dusk Soldier and either melonrabbit / Lone_Prodigy / rac as a 4th out of 5th

[snip]

So yeah, 5 scum members including the late Cewyn; CornBurrito, acohrs, Dusk Soldier, and melonrabbit / Lone_Prodigy / rac.

Wee, you've forgotten to put your daily vote on me. Just thought I'd remind you :)

It's not that I'm not willing. It's just that I'm being slightly selfish at the moment. If I ended up being a swing vote between you and Kark I would bite my nails to the quick.
 
Savez-vous quoi? You all know who you are, we're all so old now. How about we ask the interns what they think :)

kitsunelaine, NeckToChicken; what do you think?

This is the second or third time you've misrepresented what I've said. I'm going to ask you nicely to cut that out.

I don't think it's a misrepresentation? Of this quote series? I realize you weren't speaking directly to me, but uh....you are speaking to the game.

No need to be coy, acohrs. If you know something, you should say it. Your confidence in your assertions tell me you're sitting on some info.

Unless there's something you'd be giving away about yourself by telling us...?

You're right I do know something! I know that your gambits won't save you in a thunderdome when put under the microscope, especially for how anti-town they and you have been

Here's the thing, acohrs.

There are only two scenarios where you could speak with confidence about who's been doused.


1) You are the arsonist

2) You are a scum player with a teammate who got doused.


So which one is it?

Also,

Vote: Karkador

After hearing from you, I'm not convinced that you're not scum. I don't think you're the arsonist, although fatdog did have a good point there, I think you're scum that's claiming doused to avoid suspicion. If you're doused then why lynch you unless town goes after the arsonist, that is my guess for why you're doing this douse claim gambit.

I can see a few more options, but I don't think talking to you anymore will sway your mind, will let the others see who they believe
