HypersomniacLive: Then the Convert's PM in the setup document is misleading, as it currently gives them the link to the QT.
You're right. That was an oversight. I corrected the document.

OK, for the sake of you and the overseas players, let's move the deadline to Wednesday afternoon or evening. ... But of course you all are very welcome to end the Day before that.
I will not double post again!

Also, I think it's paramount for town, to not decide what we'll do tomorrow now. It will only give scum something to work with and try and use against us. each day is new and fresh and whether I'd be willing to vote flubs tomorrow or not is something I will only decide tomorrow. He's just yet another player that may or may not be scum, then.

And another thing. If any of you think flub is scum now and vote him for it, I won't hold it against you. But if you believe flub is town and still vote him, that is extremely scummy in my book.

Leonard03: Well there's something new.
avatar
Krypsyn: I thought for sure Bookwyrm627 would catch it and/or comment on it first, since it seems he is reading through the thread currently.

Regardless, it isn't new, but it is the first clear evidence. It is the second time I have gone "off script", so to speak. You get 50 Krypsyn Points if you can guess what the trigger was. ;)
The trigger was someone going to L-1. you don't wanna hammer with your script vote
avatar
mchack: yes the first is better, but if you want hypothetical scenarios: if the two nk are masons but the one nk and one conversion is two vanillas, then the second option is better.
Hm. Picking between "2 dead masons" and "1 dead vanilla and 1 converted vanilla" is hard enough that I'll concede the point.

avatar
Bookwyrm627: He's not a mason. Some days, that has to be good enough.
avatar
mchack: I haven't asked that. Never will. But you just know that? how?
Yep. Magic.

avatar
mchack: nope, the recruiter dies. see the setup.
Scum is dead, whether the recruiter or the recruited dies.

avatar
mchack: @flubs, @bookwyrm: Did either of you play against your own win condition last game, in the hopes of acquiring other win conditions someday and to not hurt those?
I always played for my win condition.

avatar
Bookwyrm627: C doesn't stop any conversions, and may enable one. Even if we could kill 3 scum on Day 1, that would still leave a conversion open to hit a claimed vanilla.
avatar
mchack: yes it does. it removes one conversion from the game forever. Only four conversions can happen this game. With adalia dead, it's only 3
While yes, lynching scum does prevent that particular scum from converting someone, lynching a scum doesn't prevent all the other scum from converting someone. Conversions can happen until all the original scum are dead, all the vanilla are dead, or all the shots are used.

avatar
Bookwyrm627: Mischaracterization.
avatar
mchack: how so?
Your statement was too broad. Adalia has stated a desire to preserve the masons, even happily sacrificing vanilla townies in an effort to achieve that end. He has not advocated for the indiscriminate slaughter of townies.

avatar
mchack: *emphasis added*
it is in the gamesetup. My premise is: scum can read. nothing has changed by that comment.
Scum are people. People forget, especially when something hasn't been read for a week or more. You've reminded them of that particular outcome during a time frame and in a context where they'll have started thinking ahead about their night actions.

And over time you'll learn that not all of our players read the rules and think about the permutations. ;)

avatar
mchack: lol, ok good you're enforcing your seat in my scumreadlist #3. How is it that flub needs to die now, that you realized he can trip up scum?
It is the other way around: Flub needs to die now that you've explicitly pointed out some other possibilities, helping them NOT trip over those possibilities.

avatar
Bookwyrm627: Two town vanilla could be converted regardless of whether we lynch scum.
avatar
mchack: yes, and that makes it better to lynch town how?
I was saying that the double conversion could happen regardless of whether we lynch scum or not, so it wasn't very supportive of your argument. Whether Flub or Adalia are town is extraneous to what I was attempting to convey.

avatar
mchack: look again! the second one: see what he answers to :
Mm. Alright, on review I'll concede this point as well. However, I will point out that Flub also denies having intelligence or any skill. ;)
avatar
mchack: The trigger was someone going to L-1. you don't wanna hammer with your script vote
Winner, Winner, Chicken Dinner!

Yes, it was flubbucket hitting L-1. At L-1 I would unvote and choose someone else by more usual methods. In this case, however, flubbucket was also my preferred lynch, so I did not remove my vote (making it the first off-script vote, though it wasn't obvious).

I also had this end condition in place in case the wagon was on me. I would have dropped off my own wagon at L-1.

I actually didn't foresee that I would be the vote to put someone at L-1 :P.
Bleh, set this aside while building my post, then forgot.

avatar
Hunter65536: @bookwyrm What do you make of flub's play in general?
Last game, I saw some things that made me think he was town and actively trying to solve the game. This game, I'm not seeing nearly as much of the same thing, but I've always found Flub rather hard to read.

He could be straight up scum making a very similar play to last game, though I think it is somewhat more likely that he is town vanilla doing what he thinks must be done.

avatar
Hunter65536: Could be seen as postponing the inevitable and I could be wrong though, willing to hear out what others think of this.
Flub has put himself in a position where town needs him to die at some point (unless he somehow isn't converted and we magically keep hitting scum until the game ends).

avatar
Hunter65536: Here is a wikipedia link for the interested ones as I feel I did a shoddy job in terms of applying that concept here.
You goofed on the pay-offs. Both cooperating should have a better pay-off than both betraying, otherwise there is no reason to cooperate since you'd have a better pay off by betraying whether you partner cooperated or betrayed.

avatar
mchack: where did I say that scum will be able to pick which kind of target they're going to hit?
reread #319 and it's certainly not in there...
Where did I say that you said that scum will be able to pick which kind of target they're going to hit? :P

My point is that some of your arguments throw around ideas like "and then scum convert two town vanilla on N1!" as support, when the odds of such happening (especially if we lynch one of those town vanilla today) look pretty slim. If it is any comfort, you aren't the only one doing something like this.
I'm here, but drunk and very tired so I wouldn't expect much sense (or anything from me).

I think I'm up to date and haven't really got much to add, everyone else has already questioned most of the things I would have in mchack's posts.

But just this one thing;

avatar
mchack: And where are your 4 scumreads? I see exactly 1 and thats me, without ever giving good reasons and thats it. but you're not even voting me, no you're here to vote a townie, you'd have an easier time moving to lynch.
If you'd been paying attention and reading other peoples posts rather than just sticking your fingers in your ears and yelling "SCUM!" over and over again you'd know that I said providing scum reads was a bad idea, so I'm not about to. I only continued pursuing you because I'd already made that read public before realising some of the implications of this game.

But I have three players (including you) that I feel fairly strongly are scum (and would vote for if wagons built) and 2 more I have doubts about but I wouldn't vote yet.

So no, I'm sorry if I find it odd that you are only considering two people in the game scum and nothing else. Despite claiming to have a fair idea who the vanilla townies are... which by process of elimination should give you an idea who the other remaining scum would be.
avatar
mchack: his being scum or not, doesn't change anything in that context. But sure, seems he is in the "would lynch townie, if possible" category...
I'd ask you to change that to "lynch a specific exposed convertible Vanilla who'll fog up every additional day he remains, rather than any townie" but I know how much you like presenting things from alternative angles so I won't waste either of our times.

I know. it's only HSL said "Except that it's going to be one dead scum that didn't exist the Day before." which is simply not true. so I pointed it out.

Flubs also said so, btw. ( kinda )

yep. so which will faster deplete by lynch alone (and should be our target for lynch when we want to fight conversions) original scum or vanilla?

mchack: how so?
avatar
Bookwyrm627: Your statement was too broad. Adalia has stated a desire to preserve the masons, even happily sacrificing vanilla townies in an effort to achieve that end. He has not advocated for the indiscriminate slaughter of townies.
true, only indiscriminate slaughter of vanillas (thereby also helping to reveal the masons in the long run, btw) See here for instance:
excerpt: (yes I know. let me have some fun. view full post with link above)
avatar
adaliabooks: ...Particularly if three vanilla townies are dead...
... We will only ever lynch vanilla town.

Hence we should do so as quickly as possible ...
ZFR almost had it right when he suggested no lynch, but the better result for town tomorrow is to have less vanillas floating about muddying the water.

sure, but scum will reread the rules and ask the mod for clarifications if unclear in their night-chat before they'll put down their night action. that is for sure. I've been scum once you know. I know the drill.

and how is it he has to die now, because scum might not actually try and convert him? Why don't you want to lynch scum instead?

Bookwyrm627: He could be straight up scum making a very similar play to last game, though I think it is somewhat more likely that he is town vanilla doing what he thinks must be done.
so more likely town for you? just wanna make sure (gotta scumreadlist to take care of you know ;) you are still voting him I also notice

avatar
Bookwyrm627: Flub has put himself in a position where town needs him to die at some point (unless he somehow isn't converted and we magically keep hitting scum until the game ends).
most everyone may need to die at some point. Why do you want flub dead now?

Bookwyrm627: Where did I say that you said that scum will be able to pick which kind of target they're going to hit? :P
I quoted you saying it... oh, we're on this level of detail now? ok, you said my post highlighted a trend in me and others that scum will be able to pick .... which it didn't :P

well, I don't. I usually reply to others and in doing so battle their points or assumptions and only in those cases have I used the same hypothetical circumstances with another outcome or outlook on the situation.
I don't know what scum will do, and I sure hope scum will have a hard time deciding. Thats why I don't want to remove options from them, that can trip them up. like flub.

yes yes, love you, too. Good night and all that. anyway I did notice. But does that mean you simply don't think, it helps finding converted players to pin them on their scumreads from the day before? What is your suggestion on finding the converted players, if any, tomorrow? ...lynch flub?

avatar
adaliabooks: Despite claiming to have a fair idea who the vanilla townies are... which by process of elimination should give you an idea who the other remaining scum would be.
I'm not claiming that I have a fair Idea who _the_ vanilla townies are. never have. I simply have more people than only flubs, that I think is vanilla. Won't tell you how many, won't say anything more about it. only saying flubs is _not_ the only and _not_ a safe choice for conversion. So he is _not_ the one we have to lynch today.
avatar
mchack: You reading that adalia? not cool suggesting that flubs does it now or will tomorrow.
Let me point you to this post:

avatar
adaliabooks: I know Hyper is digging at it already, but has anyone else noticed that Leonard just seems to have slid what could justifiably be assumed to have been an RVS vote (or at very least an early place holder one) into a cushy spot on my wagon?

Also, those asking flub for reads; you do realise by leaving him alive he is likely to be scum tomorrow. He's not playing for our team any more. Why would he do anything to help town if he expects not to be town tomorrow?
avatar
flubbucket: I want to have your baby.
Now tell me, does that not read to you like flub agreeing that he cannot or will not help town?

Or maybe you just think flub finds me very attractive and wants to pursue the biological impossibility of us having children together?

Now, from flub's own mouth he is playing against town. And you think he should not be lynched at any cost today.

And somehow come to the conclusion that makes you town?
Explain that to me please.
Use small words.
