[LURKERS] WW42- Townfolk a' Watchin

[Mardoc]

Hi all

Well, I don't think it's coincidence that scum wins ~80% of these. That said, if you want to change the site meta, the best way is to demonstrate the effectiveness of your method. Care to point out any scum for later vindication?

Huh how do you arive at that Number?

I guessed. Might not actually be that bad, but I don't care enough to go back and count or anything. That sounds like work.

So you can't be bothered to check but you just claim a number and sell that as fact. You should go into politics.

From the last 6 games played here village won 5 (!) and the 6th was a 3party-draw between 3 scum-parties as there was no village at all.

BTW: Overall the games it is something 18:19 with the missing games being Sk- wins or draws.

Someone didn't blow his load this time and switch at the last second.

*mjw wonders how badly the forums will lag due to people spamming refresh until GM shows up*

Ah, that explains it. Village has been getting better since I stopped playing. Or else maybe because I stopped playing

...what just happened.

I would just push zak as a village because if he's town we've screwed anyway. Too tempting to lynch.

Hello everyone in the great saloon in the sky! Commodore, this game has been delightful. I'm glad we finally got some proper gunplay in - I felt you must have been disappointed by the tameness of Night 1.

I want to say something about the way I played this and the way I was read by others.

Based on what is admittedly a very small sample, the basic assumption on this site seems to be that long, wordy analysis of the details of a post, often focused on the search for logical inconsistencies, is pretty much the only way to catch scum. But it's not. Indeed, from my perspective, much of it reads like a load of irrelevant waffle, in which it's far too easy for a scum to hide simply by joining in with the wordiness (and by being careful to avoid inconsistency).

Hi Winston!

First up, obviously I am sorry about getting it wrong on you. Especially since it was your first game back in a long time. I think you are right, in that we have evolved a certain way of playing, and it was difficult for me to read you when you didn't conform to the same style. But you are probably right that the logical inconsistency style can be imitated, and it's definitely useful to have townies operating from different perspectives to avoid groupthink.

Anyway, I hope you play again, and now I have a baseline for you I will be much more open to your drip dripping of thoughts!

Tarnation! Novice shooting Zak in no way rules them out as teammates. Zak was going down anyway today, he was dead bandit walking. It would be a very justifiable gamble as scum to shoot him once and take the chance that he wouldn't attract 2-3 other bullets from the town, especially after no shots had been fired on Night 1. In fact, if I was ScumVice, that is exactly what I would have done. Even with the accidental overkill on him, it's put scum in not much worse of a position.

Well played Zak, by the way. I'm sorry you rolled scum AGAIN.
