WW 31 Game Thread PARANOIA

[Serdoa]

@Mattimeo

Whom did you use your ability on N4, N5 and N6?

[Qgqqqqq]

It wasn't clear to me that he was going to die last night, and nor was I certain he was innocent. Why are you so sure he would die?
And as for your last post - Though given that we expect him to be scum too the target to watch as well as the targets to watch for are imo not well chosen at all. - If we, myself included, suspect him to be scum, then why is he a bad target to watch for? The same for Ichabod - in my place, who else would you have watched for?

Okay I didn't realise Azarius had hit me.

Serdoa, were you trying to save Merovech with those night shenanigans? Cause that's some next level play right there if you were.
Not that it'd ever work, but worth a shot I suppose.

Wait, what? Can you recap, I must have missed this next level play. (Quick skim earlier today)

And Q, I appreciate the scenario play but you lost me with some of that, sorry.

Preview edit: (Yessss the thread is coming back to life!) Thanks Serdoa, that's a good question -- It would be good to know if Matt has been trying to boost known useful town roles or...not.

Trying doesn't cost anything, not trying is certain failure But it wasn't really planned, I was surprised to realize the two different results I had. Just when I had started it, it made sense to keep on it. Well, till BRick ended it

He was our only "doctor"-type role left? He was proven that his role works? There was really not much reason to suspect him and he was certainly more in the town-camp than 3/4 of the other players.

I would have watched Merovech for visits of Mattimeo and you. If none happen, sunrise and Ichabod are both anyhow the targets of the day, so if no other evidence is brought forth they are the most likely lynches.

Raising suspicion on an obvious town during the night so that the scum might lynch someone else instead.
Seems Serdoa is either sly enough for these kinda mind games or brave enough to shamelessly grab the credit when it was just an honest mistake, I commend him either way

lynch = kill *

X post with a fair bit:

You know, not getting any results from that ability is quite an achievement.

From an ability that requires guessing two players that will use an ability on one other? I feel bad for failing, but I don't think the failure is particularly horrible, considering. And honestly, while I understand the implication you're trying to givethe way you're doing so is quite offensive.

Xenu, yeah, my power is completely useless now.

Q, even negative results can be useful. They tell us who didn't visit whom, which could be relevant at some point.

Yeah I know, which is why they are being reported. But they're not very valuable, so I don't care much about giving them.

That "would have done" talk is scummy as heck considering you played the exact opposite way the last time you were scum :P
You were a very active and participating scum, not a lurker.

That is not what I was trying to say at all. When I have the time and inclination, I am always going to play very active because that is my way. The thing is I have gone through a period in this game where I actually did have the time, just no inclination to do so. The combination of some of the reveals, the circular nature of some of the arguments appearing (in particular the Rowain-Serdoa conspiracy theories) and a dozen lesser factors made me tired of the game and not wanting to take part at all. I kept playing, but I posted very infrequently and without much substance until the tailend of the Catwalk lynch, which stimulated me enough that I started contributing again. So my point on this is not that I would play as a lurker as scum, but rather that that day would not have been enough to make me care about the game again as scum. I also don't see how the whole would-have scenario is "scummy as hell" because that is how I as scum would've tried to play a situation like that, and it is completely unrelated to my point on activity - that section assumed me in an active state as scum at the lynch time.

Ichabod, is this your standard method of asking for more information from people? You've done it twice today and possibly on previous days as well. Is there something specific in Q's replies you don't like or is it the general tone of his posts today?

I'll (apparently?) agree with you in that I'm not liking some of what I'm reading from him today either (i.e., I'm not defending him, I'm questioning your methodology), but I don't like your "vote with no reason cited" method. If you want more info from him or an explanation why not just ask for it? Just voting is so...mysterious.

If you had done that to me I'd probably post asking you what you're looking for, or for some way to find out why you voted me. If this is how things are always done, ok, but why is it that way? It seems like going right out and being direct about your suspicion would be a more productive method of inquiry and eliminate some of the guess work involved in figuring out what the point of the vote was.

Unless there is no point and you're just making sure the conversation stays focused on someone in particular?
