flubbucket: Not random. However since this is designed to be a quick game and I have no idea who's town or scum I have to shoot someone.

You were quite active and I didn't want to shoot a player who hadn't arrived yet.
Aren't those two somewhat incompatible? If your opinion is it's supposed to be a quick game shouldn't you focus on people slowing it down rather than people who are quite active?
Ok, not really awake yet :)

1. Should be around this morning and will vote by deadline at the latest. Since there are 2 shots pending, I'll probably wait and see what happens with those. Probably.

1.5 There's an argument for shooting lurkers since it would maybe move the game through today, but also an argument against wasting a shot on someone who might get rando-blasted anyway.

2. Game is 7-2 - that probably changes my prior assumption about bussing. Not to say it wouldn't happen, but risks for scum are greater to do it.

If the scum team is Pop-scene-deadbolt that's presumably one empty chat. ;)

I think what he meant to say is: he wants a game that's quick to read and you talk too much ;)
ok. I have the solution:
We all sit in a circle thusly:

1 Bler144
2 adaliabooks
3 McHack
4 Bookwyrm627
5 trentonlf
6 PoppyAppletree
7 HypersomniacLive
8 Flubbucket
9 supplementscene

and then each shoots their left neighbor, one after the other. So bler shoots adalia, I shoot bookwyrm etc, etc. and round and round it goes and town is guaranteed to win :D
also noone can deviate from the chosen order or it'll not work. I can't stress this enough. also that'd be a sure scum tell.
So we doing this or what? :)

pre-post edit:
dangit all the work and only now I realize that it depends on every shot being a killing shot. ahh :( ok then go on rand killing people or try to, I'm out of ideas :( it was such a beautiful plan. *sniff* I even copy pasted a python script to make sure, I'd be the last man standing... ( josephus problem if anyone cares)

If he'd said that I'd probably have bought it, but a) it's not really what he typed, and b) you assume he's taking the time to read/care how much I write? ;)

I mean, there are other practical flaws as well given maf can a) coordinate and b) there may well be a strategic point in that flow depending on who is maf where they could break the order or just build support not to agree in the first place, and c) if the first 3-4 kills are town, whatever town is left might actually get skittish on you and break as well - town who get shot by that design probably also less inclined to agree. ;)

Missed this point earlier - also if this is your POV why no 2nd shot yet in that post then?

yes you're right of course. mostly I was just trying to be funny and show that I watched my numberphile videos. But given that it helps exactly nothing, I could have just deleted the half finished post then and there.
But when I put a bit of work into researching a post and half-finishing it, I usually can't bring myself to delete it all. I mean all the 10 minutes work would have been for naught. I even got the python script running etc. ... sorry ;)

adaliabooks: I still think Hyper might be scum, but let's change tactics and assume scum are actually sitting in their hands waiting for town to kill each other.
avatar
trentonlf: I wondered the same thing, what if scum just sat back and watched us kill each on their way to a win.

My second guess for scum is Poppy

Shoot PoppyAppletree
I love you too trent. </3
This took off a lot faster than I expected, just read through everything. A few people are targeting me for fairly justified reasons, but flubbucket and adalia are looking scummy to me.

I think we've had four shots already, so shoot adaliabooks.

The first time we did this it was over in 3 hours. This is sloooooooow by comparison ;)

Why adalia over flub if both are looking scummy? Coin toss?

flub's a harder read than adalia, so I'm playing it safe.
Last post should be read as flub being hard to read. My only firm Town read currently is bler; having. multiple players with the same avatar is throwing me off. The ten minute post cooldown is frustrating, since I'm the type of person to edit additional thoughts into my posts as they come/follow up quickly with further considerations. #54 should work out better in that regard, since it'll be slower than this. (#54b, perhaps.)

OMGUS much?

Yeah, esp. in a game that's supposed to move fast, as you note.

When I modded the smurf game I allowed post-merges, just no content edits. I thought it worked fine if not better, but in those days I was on 18 hours a day to monitor for shenanigans.

No one else has followed it though here.

Several players have aimed at me, most of whom I haven't considered scummy. For example, I don't read trent as being scum.

Fair enough, but if I do die to your shot I'll flip town and it won't look particularly good for you.

But then you probably already know that.
