Since we're still in the joke phase obviously (or very close to it), I don't have anyone on my list who looks extremely scummy. I do notice that Tim is repeating what others said in his own words, sticking to the every case... but he does that in every game so.. not enough to pursuit him.
fp'd by Chu and as he says - yeah, generally not lynching is a bad idea and is generally scummy.
Joke vote phase? Come on, man. I'm not looking for "extremely scummy", I'm asking why you're staying out of harms way. (Is that usually in the genetive? Only ever heard it, never read it.)

I just don't want to claim ASAP and steer the conversation in that way.
Claiming surely produces talk, but in a game like this, one can (I'm not, just saying) claim being a Superman, a battleship or even a microwave oven. It won't help in either case fight the scum and that's the reason I'm trying to stay low. If I turn my turbo mode on, you'll have a full claim in seconds which will just make me a target for Apollo 13 or T-Rex or whoever we're playing against. As someone said before, wait for page 10

I'm saying exactly that, if something doesn't happen till page 10 I'll claim and you can be pretty sure you will survive N1 with your play. 10 pages of nothing and you being you doesn't mean anything. I'd forbid you two from playing mafia games if I was an admin.

No one is asking you to claim. Just take a frigging stand on the stuff going on. Otherwise, why bother playing?

In general not lynching is a bad idea. It's one of the biggest tools that town has, in order to get information and to have the % chance that a scum dies. Almost any lynch is preferable to a no lynch.
Different for me then, I'll just have to adapt to it.
Vote everyone!

Maybe it is designed to root out people who find this sort of thing scummy as they are clearly trying too hard to build a case on fragmented evidence which is often an indication that they are scum themselves.... or maybe it is just a joke vote from earlier on in the game that I hadn't bothered to unvote on.
Either way if people like you are trying to build cases around this sort of behaviour then it is serving a purpose as it is initiating discussion.

I'm not convinced on the legionnaire case to be honest, it seems to be based around inactivity and a couple of antagonistic comments - it seems pretty weak to me in its present form.
However, this is the scummiest thing in the thread to date. DDS is a 'new player' I know but suggesting no lynch is a massive scum tell that new players often fall through and pretty often they turn out scum. unvote vote DDS

Really? In my experience it's usually nub town that try to no lynch, far more often than any nub scum. going to do a re-read, but so far I'm feeling chu, sam or dakky.

I'm telling my mum on you.
Anyway! Choices must be made. The game is slow and we lack progress. Of what we have currently, my top pick for now is going to be Dakky. While I appreciate that he wishes to amend his playstyle and improve, his actions this game thus far have appeared dubious. He is normally quite an active character from what little I've seen of him but he has been very passive and quiet this game. Along with that he seemed rather twitchy that I might appear to be 'defendeing' him when I questioned Tim about his stance on dakky. He seemed overly concerned that it might look like he has 'buddies' in this game and I don't think it was necessary for a town player to be concerned about that, as such it appears that he may very well be scum that doesn't want to look like he has ties to any players. And then, strangely, after being defensive about the appearance that someone might be 'defending' him he then goes to willing 'follow' that some player? Ehhhh
Unvote vote dakky

@Fircoal, You've stated the reason pretty much yourself, there was little in the thread to talk about, so why an immediate OMGUS vote rather than take the time to talk through it? As for robotic, yeah I see that, it was a rushed post, as I have had very little free time over the last week.
Fircoal wrote:
legionnare wrote:While I'm going to FOS skoffin for the OMGUS vote, I've not really seen much else to comment on. Unvote my joke vote.
I know OMGUS votes are in general scummy but are you even looking at the context that is around it or are you just saying that to say that? Because you're not adding much of anything nor as you pushing the game forward. Your statement seems robotic and devoid of any feeling of trying to get scum. Just a "Well this person did X so they're slightly more suspcious." Context is important. What was so scummy about Skoffin's OMGUS vote?
........
In any case. Unvote. Vote: Legionaire. It's not much but I feel a sense of squirmness from him. He hasn't added much nor has he really tried to. Every post of his in the last week has been him defending himself:
Plus the robotic FOS I mentioned before. It's not much but I would like to see him talk more personally.
I wouldn't say it was me being defensive, as I stated to Ragian, I was just having a bit of fun during the joke phase (but seeing as I am a robot, perhaps I have yet to master this "fun" thing? )

So based off past experiences with one other new player, I'm just to be instantly assumed scum? Pretty faulty logic if you ask me.

Have to agree with dds here cause wanting no lynch =/= scum. I'm often fine with a no-lynch day 1 since we have the least amount of info, and, in games we know the mafia/town ratio I remember reading about it being advantageous for town to go into the night with either an odd or even amount (Meaning that no lynching could, statistically be better. Though this only works with open and more 'vanilla' setups but it still means that suggesting no-lynch =/= scum)

I typically don't like day 1 lynches because of that fact of little to no info, you're more likely to lynch a townie then scum. Different games though, mine are typically done in a speed fashion, done in hour practically. So new set up for me.

How would claiming help out the town in discussion? All it would do is make the scum more aware of what is out there while also giving them a better idea of who to kill it's a very bad idea unless it's a last result. Why do you keep on bringing it up?

I would agree with that. At this point I don't think DDS is scum but rather someone with very different ideas of what to do in mafia.

The problem is then what do we have to go on on Day 2. Not to mention that we waste one of the town's useful tools.

Something can be learned from having fun. You seemed overly annoyed by my one vote. But if my vote makes you participate as much as you ought to (your words), it serves a decent purpose. Your two latest posts haven't exactly yielded too much, though, so perhaps leaving my vote will get you to participate? Loads of stuff out there now. What say you about skoffin's thoughts on dakky?
