[no players] WW 49 Lurker Thread

[Gaspar]

Yeah, the problem with the poetry is you really have to read it and I just don't want to read anyone's posts that closely. The way I survive playing these games is to skim everything and then spot when my scumdar gets pinged and actually read that stuff. For a post here or there, no problem. But every post? Eh, it just makes me ignore you. Which, y'know, is perfect for scum.

I think everyone feels a little scummy. Novice in particular seems a little off this game, even if as per usual, I largely agree with him. So really, there's nobody I'm hardcore town on, which is a really bad sign at this stage of the game.

Yeah, between the power-lurkers and the power-players, and all the poetic flourishes, it’s hard to get much of a read on the game right now. Glad I didn’t not play this one.

Exactly my thoughts

Tally as of post 662:

Lynch votes
2.1 votes: Novice (Rowain, Gazglum)
2 votes: Superdeath (AdrienIer, novice)
2 votes: Gazglum (WarriorKnight, Lewwyn)
1 votes: Lewwyn (pindicator)
1 votes: AdrienIer (superdeath)
1 votes: Pindicator (Serdoa)

Now *that* is a divided village.

I'm not sure why you're broken
I hope its not something that I've spoken.

Your unhappiness is infectious
maybe its time you left us

Eeyore

Now that is a vote Omar can get behind.  Give someone a street name and then vote them with it.  Also pretty apropos, since this is the second Eeyore game in a row from Pindi.

Yeah, too emotion based defence just sucks in general for the other participants. Some of the players are wolves trying to drive a mislynch, while others have a genuine reason from their perspective to be suspicious. And the result is both parties will just feel like sh*tbags for making that accusation or a vote. And at worst it drives scum to pull the same card in the hopes of avoiding a mislynch (been there, though the game was not on RB).

[Commodore]

Always feel bad for these; the top two lynch candidates are the Aussies, sucks for them that they don't get to defend.

[Cyneheard]

Ok, THAT is an item.

[Gold Ergo Sum]

Ok, THAT is an item.

Holy crap.  Yeah, that is extra stronk.

That should be a  high information lynch given how the votes moved around at the end.  I give the village a half way decent chance from here.

I am surprised no one in the village has mentioned it is actually better for scum to have the bomb. If a villager has the bomb, it is guaranteed to take out a villager, and could also take out another villager if they use it poorly. If you give it to a scum, your worst case is basically a 1-for-1 trade.

If the thought is to give it to a villager, it should be with the goal to make sure it is never used. I believe night kill actions go through even in death, so as a villager, even if you hit the wolf conducting the night kill, I'm pretty sure the villager still dies. Otherwise, that lucky scenario would be the only way the bomb might earn town an extra day.

Unless I'm missing something.
