I'm here, I'm awake.
Going to address a few main points I've seen:
1: 'Lynch all lurkers'
MotK Scum have a very strong habit of lurking and coasting. What happens quite often,
especially on Day 1 is two active townies end up caseing each other, or having cases form on them, simply because they're the only content to scumhunt on. Day 1 ends in Town v Town wagons.
I'm saying this fully aware that I probably qualify as lurking right now; but I'm also giving people updates about my shifts and such. I work in healthcare; so things are a little zany right now at work.
2: The Bard wagon.
And this seems to be a perfect example of what I've said above. Bard seems to be the first person to try and make an actual case, and as a result; several people who don't agree with his case and the fact he's stuck his neck out to try and end RVS, have jumped on him.
Rule of thumb: Generally the person willing to draw attention to themselves and move town onto actual useful discussion is town. Or a least it's a towntell. Even if the case is weak/bad. It's not like much else can be made to end RVS.
3: I wouldn't lean on mafiascum as gospel. It dosen't take into account habits of groups.
4:
I'd still like to no lynch the first day, I'm only voting you because you voted for me.
I agree with Tom, we should no-lynch now and wait better for the abilities to do their thing.
In addition, the mafiascum guide states its only helpful to lynch lurkers when there's a sufficiently large pool of inactive lurkers for scum to hide.
Right now, our only pool of inactives are zwerdijib, meow56, and disquieted.
This should not be a lynch-all-lurkers policy today, it won't exactly be helpful.
No-Lynch is an awful idea. It's a town-controlled kill. It gives us information about relations and such, even if it flips town. Lynching town obviously is not ideal, but it's much better to lynch town and get information
now than to make that mistake later in the game. Town have mislynches for a reason. Furthermore; it lowers the pool for town-aligned power roles to target, such as Cops; or a Doc to get a lucky killblock.
Also not quite sure why Waffles excludes me from the 'inactives' list.
Now; onto my vote:
I'd still like to no lynch the first day, I'm only voting you because you voted for me.
Who's scummy? Well you're in first place Bard since you relentlessly attack me with posts watered down with prose like you're trying to hide behind your own words. Your first posts seemed very artificial like you didn't know how to word them properly without seeming suspicious and opted to drown out the suspicion in white noise by means of word count. You nitpick through my posts, latching onto single phrases I didn't give much thought into writing like "instead of going after better targets." These are actions fitting of someone desperate to drive the blame away from themselves and are willing to throw newer players under the bus to do so.
Disquieted raised an eyebrow because they haven't posted much and only initiated the conversation with something along the lines of "I am chewing" and were likely to leave it at that if no one pressed them further. Nothing personal against them, just that out of context post seemed very much like an attempt to reset the prod timer.
Polaris and Fabloo are town in my opinion, they're driving the investigation and generally willing to put themselves out there, something mafia wouldn't do as the more they post the more quotable evidence they leave for later to be recalled upon.
I'll be off for today, happy scumhunting~
There's so much in this post I do not like at all:
1: Pushes for NL. I explained why I do not like that above. NL is denying Town information and giving mafia a free kill.
2: Outright admits his vote on Bard is pure OMGUS. 'I'm
only voting you because you voted me'. Also; in mafia you're supposed to nitpick through posts. To find things that may be indicators of scum, or inconsistancies, and so on.
This isn't strictly a scumtell; but a personal dislike of mine is giving out hard townreads. This paints a target on the backs of these players for mafia to kill.
3: But what I do find scummy here is the reason. Polaris and Fabloo are town for trying to drive the investigation, but Bardiche isn't town for trying to drive the investigation [He was the first to try and get us out of RVS and make an actual case] because his case is on Tom and therefor; he must be scum.
4: He says scum wouldn't post much to leave evidence that can be used later. This conflicts with his push for NL [Surely this opinion is congruent with a Lynch all Lurkers policy?] and it also conflicts with his Bard vote; as Bard *is* sticking his neck out. Which he says scum wouldn't be doing. This is an inconsistancy.
##Vote: Tom
