SirPrimalform: No, I never said anyone could draw hard conclusions. But by setting up the assumption that two NKs means a SK, it naturally follows that one can point to a single night kill as being indicative of there being a vig.
Quoted again here for reference:
PoppyAppletree: If we do have a Vigilante, then
please, please don't shoot anyone on Night 1. As has been noted, 50% of C9++ setups feature a Serial Killer. As such, if
two people die on Night 1, we're a going to think we have a Serial Killer on our hands. As such,
a Vigilante should refrain from a Night 1 kill.
SirPrimalform: This plan weights the conclusions people might draw from a second NK (or lack thereof), possibly in order to manipulate opinion tomorrow.
It also strikes me as somewhat redundant, as I think N1 would be a bit of a reckless point for a vig to start shooting people (but maybe that's just me).
All in all, the whole thing gives me bad marimbas.
I don't think it "naturally follows that one can point to a single night kill as being indicative of there being a vig."
not at all. That's what I meant with non sequitur. And you are the only one that keeps saying it would follow in any way.
It doesn't and Poppy never said it did. You say it naturally follows, so that's on you not Poppy.
bad marimbas indeed.

Lifthrasil: Bookwyrm was quite lurky too but is present now and I want to read a bit more from him before I put him in some pile.
I'd be interested into which pile you eventually sorted him, before the day is out, once you've made up your mind.
Lifthrasil: But since you like defending Poppy, perhaps you could explain what makes her so towny in your eyes.
-Her reaction to Trent for instance, both in recieving his vote in #88 "Nice to see you're consistent. :) " that it is the only vote she's concerned about in #96 (while also saying to you that if you truly believed hers to be an omgus vote you shouldn't be concerned about it the way you are), sticking to thinking trent town in her reads list #119 (which she made on his querie and no omgus in sight) and then taking heart in #128 when trent reconsiders his vote.
-Her push against you in #96 and #102 looks like mighty fine scumhunting to me.
-Generally when I ISO her, I get a feeling of Town which somehow doesn't work when I ISO you. I tried it.
Lifthrasil: To me, all of that looks either like bad play or like scummy play. I still read her as scummy and I'm still saying we should either lynch her slot (Vitek) or Scene. Since lynching one will possibly tell us something about the other and I see a good chance that these two are a team.
Do you really think so? I don't see much telling us about Vitek when we lynch Scene or the other way around.
She found most of what scene said baffling #98 his vote on her (that she herself commented on in #122) is what a lot of people have as their main reason for voting scene in the first place, so what does lynching scene tell us about poppy/vitek?
Lifthrasil: ... And maybe you're the third one? Was that why you tried to shift the attention away from both of them?
Perhaps your just a towny on the wrong track. But your LAMIST post still looks scummy. Even though you defend it by repeating to claim that you are town. But town should never knowingly propose a mislynch and IF you are town you do exactly that with
"And should you flip town, too then let me go on record that I should be lynched next."
Lifthrasil: I think if you actually were town, you wouldn't feel the need to offer yourself as the next mis-lynch in the case of the proposed lynch being a mis-lynch. You would know that that would be bad for town. No, this statement really reeks of "Look at me! I am even willing to sacrifice myself! See how towny I am?!" In other words, it is a very scummy statement. All in all I hereby promote you from the 'better than nobody' slot to the third place in my personal 'probably scum' list.
not true. Scum have a much higher reason to not want to get lynched themselves just for being "wrong". They are less, they lose much easier from loosing one member than town does. So your argument that "if you were actually town, you wouldn't feel the need to offer yourself as the next mis-lynch" is wrong. it should read If you were scum, you wouldn't feel the need to offer yourself as the next lynch, since 2for1 is actually not too bad of a deal for town.
of course chain-mis-lynching is bad. I just felt that because of my saying we should lynch you lift and should you turn out town lynch vitek tomorrow is a good idea since I'm pretty sure one of you two is scum and I'm pretty sure it's you lift.
But I felt the need to add that if both of you turn out town I would feel the need to commit seppuku, since I'd die of shame anyway and to construe that as me being scum (who would never do that) is pretty next level. Sure I could be wrong about you, but let me ask you this:
If we lynch scene today and he flips town. Are you in favor of lynching poppy/vitek next? and if so and if they would flip town too, would you feel bad in anyway? would you offer yourself up?
(course not. I already feel the answer town never does that. blah blah ok ok. Well I'm town so I know for sure that town would make stupid arguments like that. Stupid people make stupid arguments :P
------
ok new dogma:
I will concede that, I will not offer myself up for lynch this game, because I am town and I will fight my lynch with all I have.
I will also concede that chain lynching is bad and we should not in any way decide today who the lynch tomorrow should be.
I will furthermore concede that we should vote who we feel is scummiest. (Liftthrasil, SPf and bookwyrm? are my picks at the moment)
