In this game if one player is left behind, that can speed end of game for town.

explain ?

You are misquoting my typo. It should be "spell".

Say praying is scum. We ignore her and in the mean time town are becoming armed left right and centre. All of a sudden, boom and praying is still standing because there's no pressure on her to even tell whether she's scum or not.
Same for you Feck. An gib and anyone else without a vote. One scum left alone will mean town loses. And it is very easy for scum to blend in in such a confusing game.

you could easily be scum trying to exploit some technical issues here, while i'm not quite ready to whiteknight praying i have to say her frustration is either genuine or she is wasting some great acting skills on a lame plan to avoid voting, which i kinda doubt

[gib]

This game is a bugger for trying to get reads. And Irre is seemingly playing quite townish. But tbh who wouldn't be. The question is who isn't really trying.
I also found praying's reaction to one vote to be a little over the top. This is what I mean about voting the one's without any votes on them.
What better way to bring them out of themselves.

how is irre townish?

[gib]

also, just noticed -- gib was able to access for a bit, and was posting in the closed day 2 thread accidentally, thinking it was the active thread. there are 3 of his posts over there.

yeh i can now get on from home, i'll be replying as i go or i 'll never get to the current stuff

[gib]

No, not a thing

there is something odd about this post.

agreed.

about irre, I won't claim to be able to read her perfectly but I did have my vote on her for most of yesterday because of what felt like faux scumhunting.

Fuzzy, get bent, scum already have more of my letters than they should because of the mis OP on day 2, if you can provide a reason for you needing this info i'll consider it.

UT question for you. Have you used the phrase 'get bent' on this board before?

Curiousity! I'm in an uninformed majority and I want to get informed, darn it

Fuzzy, please tell the nice boys and girls why i picked up on the phrase 'get bent'.

[gib]

I'd like to see gonzo armed today.

and I'd like to see some points on irre and gib at least for a while to see if that focuses their attention.

I kinda feel like the GMs should let us know 1) if they are looking for a sub for Aza, 2) how long they'll let it ride, and 3) what they plan to do if they can't find a sub.

Town needs to know whether it's ok to just let Aza drift or not.

what's the point of a pressure vote if you say upfront it's a pressure vote?

gtg to work now, l8rs

I thought you were referring to me, ob. That you haven't commented on me yet tells me volumes.

MZ and diva, I just don't get your posts. What are you both on about? MZ, you are going to vote for anyone without votes on them, is that right? How does that strategy help town? This sounds like the vote spreading scheme that I don't agree with. And why did you reveal feck as possibly being the owner of Authorized? That's not pro-town, so FoS you for that. Diva, can you cut back on the drama in your posts, and either FoS or vote for your suspect rather than dance around it? What is it about UT that has you doubting? He didn't come under fire yesterday.

vote gonzo because he's not yet armed and I think he should be

vote spreading sucks in this game as much as splitting a lynch vote does in a normal game imvho

[gib]

why do you think that scum have anything to worry about overnight mz? so far I've seen absolutely nothing pointing to anything but scum putting points on at night.

Albeit it was a soft ping, but it was a ping.

And I am not being dramatic.

mantis's thoughts there are damn close to my own

Ok Fact. We know that the most points we've seen go on overnight is 4. That means any one on 1 point looks clear from being armed over night.
If that player is scum, they literally have to do nothing and just play along. I'm quite prepared to sacrifice myself and look as scummy as hell just to get players up to 2 votes.

I was visited by someone but hard to tell how sexy they were because it was too dark. But they were sexy I'm assured. That I assume is a block.

I must be thick. What is relevant about getting to two votes?

What do those volumes tell you?

That you are suspicious of me. I would start really worrying if you weren't.

huh? you started this by saying ob wasn't suspicious of you and that it worried you and now you're saying you're cool with ob because she IS suspicious of you. what gives?

[gib]

why do you think that scum have anything to worry about overnight mz? so far I've seen absolutely nothing pointing to anything but scum putting points on at night.

I am making some assumptions.
1. that Ob was hit by a town vig on night 1 [+4]
2. maybe the town vig was blocked last night.

Or some other explanation. It would seem plausible that the big guns on both sides would be the same. ie {+4}.

"town vig" is there any other type?

indeed

earlier in the game someone thought the vig is an indie role.

hmmm, irre's point was a valid one

[gib]

actually you know, screw being nice about it, mz's theory is garbage. If we follow it scum will also be able to arm any of us in one night, we don't want that. make them spend two night actions instead of one if they want to arm someone. Let's stick with putting points on likely scum and not do 1/3 of the scums work for them.

UT, I'm not saying leave points on everyone at the end of the day. I'm saying use points during the game day to encourage people to participate, and put points on people we'd like to help the vig finish off.

but that's not quite the same as what mz has been saying

[gib]

but mz, no one got 4 points last night in case you haven't gotten that yet, and also no one but people that look town to me has been hit with night points with the exception of bolero who got a whopping one point. Your theory just doesn't seem to hold up in several different ways.

It's not a theory, it's a strategy based on assumptions.
Assumption that the game is balanced and that town has a four point hit capability.
There are any number of reasons why there was no vig hit last night.
There is also the possibility that there was as you were hit with a change in points.
Although at this point I cannot understand why a vig would do that.

This game is fucking with my mind.

You seem to beselling yourself as an expert on the format and at the same time you're all mesoconfused
